50 Best Coffee Shops near Rockaway Beach

“Wonderful time such a calm relaxing area,“

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

“Popped in for a latte (first time) and it was delicious! They were out of almond milk, so the barista recommended I try macadamia... and I'm glad he did! It was very good. Hamlet made the list of neighborhood cafés I would continue to visit.“

“This is the best coffee shop in the neighborhood. The staff (shout out Elvis) is incredibly kind and make you feel like the only customer they've ever known. He comes to my dog's birthday parties if that tells you anything. The shop is clean yet dog friendly, small but warm and sunny. The food is INCREDIBLE. I could drink a small swimming pool of their lemonade. Just go - get a biscuit. Or a sandwich. Or a banan bread. I could go on and on.“

“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 and all the items they have for specials they are delicious!“

“Farm to people offered CSA quality produce and so much more in their first delivery to me. I ordered a produce box and a fruit box, plus proteins and everything was super fresh, minimally packaged and flavorful. I love the option of being able to switch out items in your produce box subscription. I spent here about 2/3 of what I would spend in the grocery stores on Manhattan. I'm looking forward to my next box already.“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“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.“

“Love this local wine bar! Great wine options with natural wine that actually tastes good. Some tasty bites as well. The indoor vibe is really cozy and welcoming and of course on nice days the outdoor space is perfect.

Happy hour 3-6 $8 house natural wine, $4 beer and $48 carafes“

“Incredible & creative food/drinks. You can tell the entire team puts so much intentional effort and love into everything they do. They also are an integral part of the community. I've never experienced anything other than kindness, quality food, a beautiful space, and always leave feeling creatively inspired. 💙“

“I get the hype, I really do. Stepped into land to sea on a bustling Sunday morning and it did not disappoint.

I got the salted honey latte and the ham & cheese bolo bao with chili oil. FIREEE. Lines form but they move quick and I was able to find seating fairly easily since I went solo.“

“I love this place, it’s so delicious and the staff is so nice! I just wish my coffee orders here would be a little more consistent. Here is a photo of two vanillas cortados (same order) ordered at the exact same time, drastically different taste and milk to shot ratio.“

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

“Had a fantastic time finally getting to check out the place. Was very fortunate with meeting Norberto as well. Getting to talk to him more about his shop and the coffee he sells. Looking real forward to coming back again! If you haven’t had the chance to go. I would highly recommend giving it a shot!“

“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.“

“rigtig god mad, og fantastisk service“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“Absolutely loved my first visit! The coffee and lemonade were both 10/10. Arshan what a guy is a true professional - he helped me choose from their extensive menu and hit the nail right on the head with his recommendation. Excellent service and great vibes. Highly recommend!“

“Five Leaves is a great cafe, we were after a solid brunch spot and it hit the spot perfectly. We ordered full breakfasts and the food was fantastic, the coffee was great too.

We sat outside and it was lovely on a sunny day, would definitely recommend.“

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

“Their chicken karaage bento box was filling and delicious. The garden was a relaxing area to eat.
9/13 Went back today and I ordered the Chicken Nanban Bento Box. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, with a nice sweet and sour sauce. The egg tartar sauce on top was also delicious and paired really well with the chicken. Overall, it was another delicious meal!“

“10/10 experience ever since I discovered this little beautiful Cafe. Staff is super great ! Coffee 10/10 it is always perfect never have to even double think “ if its going to be a good coffee day”. Food great as well. Point is if you looking for a cute cafe look no further!!!“

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

“Great coffee, always pleasant here. I don’t enjoy other neighborhood coffee shops that are located within 1 minute of this spot as much… not that I would ever name names but the one that is right next to this shop on the same side of the street oops. The owner of this store seems like they actually care about their regulars + new customers alike!“

“Just a cute cozy place food was/is phenomenal“

“Went to the brand new Houston location and things are a bit rocky with staffing and supplies but I want to brag on your employee CAMILLA ! We came from NC and after visiting Puerto Rico several times I was so excited for this experience! She was so patient with us! Answered all our questions with a very helpful and cheerful attitude even tho she was drowning in drink orders! With only one other helper, she never showed any frustration and provided excellent above and beyond customer service! The cashier with her was brand new and super sweet as well! Camilla even gave me a hug when we left! She made my whole morning! And gave us the absolute best breakfast recommendation as well! Thank u so much Camilla for your grace and kindness this morning. U had no idea that my Morning started out so crappy, and your sweet personality and loving spirit really turned my day around and the tres leches latte was AMAZING 🙌🏼🩷💯 yall go see them and be patient …..it’s worth the wait ❤️ side note… the whole place is decorated beautifully! Love the swings ✅“

“Great selection of teas, chill atmosphere, great service and Delicious Waffles!🧇“

“My new favorite spot in forest hills! I tried a brown butter banana matcha latte and it was so delicious! Also had their Nutella croffle which was so good! Will be back to try their other drinks but overall a great spot to hang with friends or have a solo cafe date. It does get pretty busy in there but the line moves quick. There’s also a decent amount of seating.“

“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.“

“It’s the best coffee place on Long Island. The food and service is excellent and Nico’s monthly open mic is a fantastic event for both customers and musicians.“

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

“Different, welcoming and quaint.“

“OKKA is, without a doubt, the best coffee shop in Greenpoint. I’ve tried coffee from so many places, and nothing compares. Every cup is consistently delicious, the quality is amazing, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax or grab your daily coffee.

Even if you’re a few blocks away, it’s worth the walk—even if it means being a little late. That’s how good the coffee is. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing doughnut flavor and creations, and a cute and cozy atmosphere :)“

“When I asked for a refill on my iced coffee they said, “of course! I feed my customers like my family.”

The burger was perfection. I don’t remember getting such genuinely incredible customer service and it was the first time I visited. Love the community in this area.

When I googled “cafe” in the neighborhood, this place came up. Absolutely worth coming here.“

“One of the best coffee shops in the neighborhood. (Not to mention their almond tarts, so refreshing after years of consuming flaccid pastries in other shops) I pay attention to details in my own business and notice that in other businesses. Very important do use proper glassware if you want your coffee shop to succeed, coffee nerds notice and appreciate . High five!“

“Here’s my rundown as a seasoned la cantine go-er:

All the savory food, YUM. Can’t go wrong.

The sweets are hit or miss. Either the most delectable thing you’ve ever had or flavorless and mid. The sweets can be catfish sometimes cause they all look beautiful.

Coffee is tasty. Matcha is no bueno.“

“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!“

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

“I could never complain about the food and quality. It’s insane. Really really good food. But the talking at the register, the slow line, the incredibly long wait for a sandwich is wacky. No matter if it’s clientele or personnel causing the hold up, you shouldn’t have folks waiting an hour for a sandwich.“

“Busy Saturday early afternoon and the owner was holding it down all on her own! We were from out of town visiting friends who are local and they wanted us try this spot. Was one of the highlights of our visit. The owner is super nice and helpful - all while running the front on her own. Our drinks were DELICIOUS. My husband had a matcha based drink and I had an iced latte with banana bread syrup. SO GOOD!“

“The cookies I had were great. loved the red velvet cookie. I have to taste sweet potato cheesecake asap.“

“I love Pairing. The drinks, baked goods, and snacks are yummy, especially the plum tea, gochujang cookie and egg tart. The layout is beautiful and if you're lucky you can snag a cozy chair that faces a wall of flowers (that are also for sale). Outside are a couple of racks of plants to shop from (I've bought at least three).

The owners, baristas and everyone who comes in to hang out or grab a drink are the nicest; I've met so many lovely people there it's kinda nuts. It's like an uplifting Twilight Zone, where everyone becomes happy and friendly the moment they walk in. I've been to a few cafes in the neighborhood, and there isn't a spot that matches Pairing's amazing vibes in atmosphere, menu, and especially community.

(I swear I wasn't paid or asked to write this review. It really is that incredible.)“

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

“The owners, the coffee, the delicious food, and the atmosphere are just wonderful! No exaggeration - it is what a coffee shop should be. ❤❤❤“

“These hit the spot! The perfect gluten free quick yet filling breakfast. Expansive offering of flavors. The container they come in is very smartly designed and great for walking around. I tried the BEC, will be going back for a sweet crepe next time!“

“Tiny, nice, delicious“

“One of the best little cafes in Brooklyn. I am lucky to live close. The baristas are always so kind and helpful. The coffee and matcha is excellent. Specifically recommend unsweetened iced matcha with pump of strawberry and vanilla. It gets a little hot inside at times but there is outdoor seating too“

“After a year of living around the corner I popped in on a hunt for The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin. Cute, cozy, and Mikita was so kind! She helped me order a copy of the book when it was out of stock and I can’t wait to not only go back to pick it up, but browse and sip more regularly here :)“
