50 Best Coffee Shops near Rockaway Beach

“Just the best Caramel Latte with Almond milk! ❤️🙏⚓️“

“What an amazing specialty coffee shop here in Brooklyn. The cortado was delicious and I also got a hot chocolate for the kids. The staff were so friendly and kind. The service was extremely fast. They also were generous and gave me some extra cups to give out the hot chocolate to my kids in different cups. There is some space to sit and work or meet but the place was already pretty packed back late morning. I’d highly recommend coming here if you like good espresso and specialty coffee“

“This restaurant is truly one of those gems that you secretly don’t want to share, but know they deserve the shout out! Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, superb menu curated and prepared by a talented and passionate chef! Brooklyn at its Brooklyn best! A must try kind of place!“

“The staff here are always super friendly, no matter what time of day you stop by, which definitely adds to the experience. However, it is on the pricier side compared to other local coffee spots like Variety. I paid $18 for a bacon (Canadian ham), egg, and cheese on focaccia. It was tasty, but honestly, not quite worth the price. The space is very small and can be uncomfortable waiting for food/drinks when there is more than three people inside.“

“Delicious no words to describe the authentic taste of the food
The best place to go for coffee and breakfast in the area and Brooklyn for far
I always try something new and it’s just so special
Staff is the best great hospitality“

“After hearing great things about Land to Sea, we made the trip all the way from Long Island City—with our foster dog Mission in tow! The staff were so kind and even offered him ice water on a hot morning, which we really appreciated. We sat outside and were grateful for the shaded seating.

I had the roast pork bun and coconut bun—both were absolutely delicious! Perfectly chewy, moist, and full of authentic flavor.

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

“We’ve been coming for years and the Food here is always fresh and so good! Staff and service is always amazing!“

“Small café, but very bright, clean, and airy. There was was a small loveseat, a couple barstools, one or two cafe tables with 2 seats, a bench with a cushion and 3 café tables out on the sidewalk. Came in about 1:30pm, and were greeted warmly. Almost all of the pastries were gone, but the cheese with fig danish and the plain croissant they had left were good. We also tried the matcha lemonade, strawberry matcha and a hot black sesame latte. I liked the sesame latte A LOT, the strawberry was good, and I personally hated the lemonade, but that is a personal preference thing. The good thing about it is it isn't too sweet, but it was heavy on the matcha, so it tasted like liquid grass to me. I definitely like nuttier sencha tea better. The prices were average for the area, and since everything is pricey now, it is what it is.

There were other patrons there, busily working and looked like they had been there for quite a while, which tells me it may be a good place to sit and focus for an hour or two.

My party of three sat outside and because it is located in a predominantly residential area, it was a nice place to sit since there aren't tons of pedestrians. There were a few bees/wasps though, so we had to leave after a bit(highly allergic). There were also mosquitos and lantern bugs around--I suspect there is some standing water on a roof nearby.

I will definitely walk over here again to get that sesame latte, and maybe stay and pretend looking productive. But I'll definitely come back.“

“The coffee and food were amazing! The atmosphere is so unique.and inviting. Someone was playing the piano, as others were working while enjoying their lunch . They now have a beautiful garden with fresh herbs and a patio to enjoy Vendors on the weekends selling beautiful things The staff and owner were very nice and welcoming! I look forward to enjoying this beautiful new cafe for many years to come.“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“Great local spot. Plenty of seats and restrooms available. Many drinks on the menu and its good. However, they low on the food options. Wish they offered more than very limited baked option and puddings. Service is always great and everyone is nice. I love this place.“

“Great coffee spot. I'm visiting Briarwood for the first time in a few years and wasn't expecting to find a coffee place here in the first place - awesome!

it's a chill place, great for reading a book or doing some light remote work.“

“Best local spot in Greenpoint / Williamsburg area! The owner and baristas are extremely friendly and the atmosphere has a local laid back feel to it. My personal favorite is the iced Rocket Fuel. The flavor is smooth and it really gives me a refreshing boost when I need some extra energy“

“my first time here, the food was great and presentation of food is delightful. will definitely go back“

“I have not had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Con Libros. However, this morning I placed a call for help with an order for a particular book and was connected to Sage(sp).
The service was immediately caring, patient, professional and set the bar for what to expect when interacting with a professional.
And while the book was not available at the location, I plan to make it a point to visit Cafe Con Libros based on the lovely and memorable service I received dyeing my call.

To all that have the opportunity to read this review, and you are deciding whether to give this spot a visit, I encourage you to do so.

Thank you, again, Sage and thank you to the team for hiring such great associates to represent your business!

Peace, light, laughter and balance ❤️“

“This cafe is fabulous! Delicious coffee and baked goods, friendly staff, everything you need! The owners are wonderful. I'm in here about five times per week, I love this place!“

“Excellent little Cafe tucked away on a side street in Brooklyn. Run by two delightful sisters. Food was awesome and the Cappuccino. The Waffles I had were amazing with homemade batter. Definitely on my new spot of must stops in Bushwick.“

“The drinks and ambiance are awesome! The Nutella Latte is the absolute best!“

“five leaves was the first restaurant i visited on my first ever trip to nyc in 2017.
ever since then coming back here has become a tradition.
8 years on and the spot is still just as warm and welcoming, albeit way more busy which is incredible to see because the place deserves to thrive. easily my fav spot in the city (i fully blame the ricotta pancakes).
i haven’t been to nyc in years but coming back here today felt like coming home in so many ways.
thank you cody for taking such great care of me and thank you everyone at five leaves for even making a tourist feel like a part of the community. 🫶 (also pls restock those tote bags, the nation needs them!!)“

“My boyfriend and I had intended to make ourselves coffee every morning — that was until we discovered Okka.

Okka coffee is the best way to start my day — their iced lattes with oat milk are truly out of this world. They also have delicious pastries and Turkish bagels if you’re looking for a treat.

The best part of Okka, though, are its owners: Onur and his wife, Sefa! They are so kind and brighten my day every morning. Sefa also makes beautiful bracelets that, since purchase, I’ve never taken off.

Thank you, Onur and Sefa, for welcoming Troy and me into the neighborhood — we’re so lucky to have such a wonderful coffee spot so close by!“

“My favorite place to get coffee and a cookie. Very low key and very cute! Pup friendly too. 💞“

“Wonderful staff, great vibes and delicious food all in a cozy and inviting space. Check it out!“

“Went last night with some friends ! It was the perfect spot… had some great appetizers and amazing drinks. I had the honey dragon margarita and it may have been one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for a cute date night spot or girls night.“

“I have loved Tim Hortons ever since my first cup in Toronto! I had some time to kill waiting for the train and was delighted to see they had a kiosk at the LIRR stop! They just launched their fall pumpkin donut and latte and they were amazzzzzinnnnngggg. Staff was super friendly and served the meal with a smile Shadeek and Adiba were awesome!“

“I was in the mood to try something new when I came across this coffee shop, and I am sooo glad I came here because everything was amazing! I got the Nutella latte and the avocado toast which were both phenomenal. The latte wasn’t bitter at all and had just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. The avocado
toast had a red chili olive oil combo which was new to me, but it completely elevated the dish and left me pleasantly surprised. The place is very cozy inside with only a couple seats available but they also have some outdoor tables as well. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and I’m already looking forward to coming back! 10/10 :)“

“Love love love this service! I’ve been so disappointed with grocery stores for the past few years, even organic is tasteless or never reaches ripeness and with a baby, I do not have the time to go to farmers markets. I got my first order delivered today and I was so blown away by the quality and freshness of the produce. I could smell the strawberries almost from the next room, the nectarines were beautifully ripe and full of flavor. The cheese was delicious.

I can’t wait to try everything else I bought! This time was just a test order but I absolutely will be buying all of my produce and dairy from Farm to People from now on. And half of the money goes directly to the farmers?! Seriously, what’s not to love. Finally I can feed my family some REAL, good food.“

“Different, welcoming and quaint.“

“Stopped by OneTwoOne Cafe before our workshop next door at Adanne Bookshop. We were greeted by the sweetest lady and then I look up at the menu and see they have coffee PLUS alcoholic drinks... my type of cafe!

My friend ordered a chocolate chip banana bread loaf and I just grabbed a water. While we waited, we roamed around and noticed the cafe has live music and hosts events. We love a cafe that's involved with the community! If you need to do work, there's free wifi, plugs, and seats. There's also board games.

Would definitely stop by here again!“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“

“The cutest little cafe with the coziest vibes and best matcha I’ve had in a minute. I also tried the pumpkin loaf, which was a bit too dense but had a great flavor.
From what I’ve seen, their coffee looks great too and I’ll definitely be back to try other items. A must visit cafe for Brooklyn locals!
And just fyi, if you’re looking to sit in to eat/work/study, the space looks like it quickly gets crowded so probably go early to get a spot.“

“I stopped by just five minutes before closing, but the staff and owner were incredibly welcoming. They even offered me a free drip coffee, which was a really nice gesture. The coffee was excellent, and the shop itself is beautiful and spotless. Great vibe all around!“

“It was a great spot to reunite with friend. Love the graphics on the wall and the atmosphere was very relaxing.“

“Best coffee in Flatbush! The espresso and the vibes are special here. Kent the owner will always welcome you with a smile and it’s a great place to grab freshly baked pastries, or empanadas. Perfect for a spot to a relax or bring your laptop to work.“

“El café delicioso,un excelente ambiente“

“Best golden milk latte EVER made so much more fab by the multiple non dairy options that are way above and beyond the usual coffee shop choices… mine (with Mac-nut Mylk) was SO good I returned for a second order as soon as the first was gone! ✨🌠💫🌟

And some pretty terrific vegan bagels with vegan toppings and vegan cream cheeses. A smorgasbord“

“The iced Raices here is sublime. The baristas here take their craft seriously and you can really see them enjoying making every drink. Watching them make the drinks, do latte art, decorating the iced drinks, was inspiring. They are masters of their craft. Not to mention how amazing and sweet everyone is plus the wide open yet minimalist space that takes up this cafe. This is the perfect place to chill, read, or study, while sipping on some of the best drinks in the city. I live far but I will be back“

“I've lived in Williamsburg for the last three years and I always tell anyone who asks that Olas has the best espresso in Brooklyn (I've looked). I actually think it's the best espresso in NYC. I am always stocked with Olas Guatemala beans at home!“

“Delightful place to stop for afternoon tea. Discovered their Blue Azul Tea and pistachio cream filled Yemini bread puff! Really delicious and comfortable well lit place to enjoy a bite in the neighborhood. If they expand their menu to include vegan sandwiches they will be perfect!“

“I just came from Berlin, Germany and this place would fit right in!! Very unique and cute. Loved it.“

“В "Mouette Cafe" мне нравится Всё 😍 ❤️“

“Потрясающее место!“

“I ordered the greek wedding cookies and they were absolutely delicious. Growing up in Astoria, I had access to the best Greek/Mediterranean food, and these surpassed my expectations. I can’t wait to go back and try all the other items offered. Great spot and location.“

“I work in the area and had heard good things about Jessi’s but I honestly don’t carry cash around much. Today I had cash and walked in to get a coffee before work. I saw their specials included an Iced horchata latte and it sounded delicious so i tried it. WOW! Delicious, fantastic, amazing, exhilarating! Forgot to take a picture of it because i was so excited to try it. They also have a lot of breakfast items and treats to choose from. Definitely gave me a reason to carry cash and come back.“

“Clean beautiful classically bistroette! Really worth it. Great food and service!“

“Great service and mega delicious coffee and pastries 👌 Highly recommendable!“

“Love this place!
So happy it’s just around the corner from me ☺️. The bartenders are amazing, Jessica is such a sweetheart and makes the absolute best drinks. The owner is super cool and really sets the tone for the great vibes here.
The cook always puts out delicious finger foods which are perfect for snacking while drinking. I especially love when they do karaoke nights and bring in live bands, it’s always a fun time. And when DJ Sound Nice plays there, he always has the place rocking with all types of music.

This spot is a total gem—great atmosphere, great people, and always a good time!“

“Good SERVICE GOOD FOOD 👍 GOOD WAITING TIME I LOVE THE THE PLACE“

“I love how creative they are with foodstuff . I love their coffee and the place in general“

“One of the best places to get a bite to eat and get a coffee! They have açaí bowls, Korean corn dogs, and more! Such an amazing place and did I mention it’s KOSHER!!!!“
