50 Best Coffee Shops near Rockaway Park

“Claudette’s cafe has the most perfect reputation and they definitely measure up to that. Professionally and kindness is just the beginning. They merge their two cultures and share their own story with all of us. Thank you for being who you are. Continue to shine.“

“I had the most incredible experience at Ciro’s Pasty Shop on Beach 129th Street in Rockaway Park, NY! I reached out at the last minute for a custom birthday cake, and what they delivered was nothing short of extraordinary. The cake was a true work of art, not just in design but also in flavor. Thank you to John and the entire staff for your incredible effort, creativity, and exceptional service. You truly made the celebration unforgettable!“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“great place for breakfast . The coffee was great, i also had Avocado Toast with an Egg. Clean restaurant. huge outside deck.“

“The staff, particularly Wendy, couldn’t be more lovely. Wendy tends to my 2 year old grandson which such sweetness! Above and beyond great service. ❤️“

“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“

“Such a gem! Their espresso is delicious and the hibiscus soft serve is a uniquely refreshing and delectable treat. Everything is fresh and natural (made from scratch, not syrup or junk). Cute, cozy atmosphere with warm, friendly owner and staff.“

“Had an excellent iced latte (rich flavor notes of cacao — it’s rare that I’ve had an iced milk espresso drink where the coffee beans’ flavor is still so prominent)! Nice atmosphere, though it might be hard to find a seat at a table at peak times. Clean bathroom (1).“

“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.“

“Mikes has been a staple in the community for almost 40 years i remember bringing my kid to have breakfast on Saturday mornings before her activities it was cheap and cheerful Pratt students and faculty would be there as well. Now its practically same staff bathroom remodeled and costs have increased but so as everuthing else same friendly and fulfilling breakfast no bells and whistles but simple good food“

“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“

“Delicious foods and drinks. Great service and nice area .“

“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!

“if you thought the milk tea here was good (no like seriously) wait til you try the COFFEE! it is my favorite hands down to the grown and if you haven't tried it then... wyd ? like get up and go make your life a little brighter and thank me later ;) oh and not to mention the food selection is so damn wide it's amazing. I could have breakfast lunch and dinner here easily. 10/10 love the place :)“

“Bro They Created Like The Best Matcha I’ve Ever Had In My Life 😭 If yall come here. PISTACHIO Matcha Iced w Oat Milk. That shit is crazy. Life changing, It was so good I had to walk in and ask the manager the recipe for this. But I recommend anybody to try this if you trying to get into matcha“

“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.“

“My favorite coffee shop! Excellent coffee, service, atmosphere and of course the food is brilliant! I highly recommend Black Milk Coffee and Crepes! You will be very pleased!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“Pastries are excellent! Chef Björn is ok too 😂“

“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!“

“Delightful space just off 5th Avenue, outstanding drip coffee, warm and cozy, leather sofa and comfortable seating, friendly proprietor and staff, good pastries and super tasty meat and cheese crepes. Outdoor seating is southern-facing but with a full canopy for shade in the hot weather.“

“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!“

“A beautiful coffee shop Pueblo Querido coffee roasters @pqcoffee in Williamsburg Brooklyn NY, serves Colombian coffee and has a very Colombian vibe and decor. Plenty of seating in a delightful space. Great service too. They had delicious looking empanadas.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“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!!)“

“Dropped in to the Chelsea location 2 weeks ago while vacationing in NYC. Great coffee, great atmosphere, great price. What’s not to like?“

“Yes, they've redefined coffee for us all. But that's not all... Their chocolate chip cookies are out of this world! Not kidding, I would go to them even if all they sold were those cookies. Plus, the owner/workers there are so nice and friendly ?“

“Happy Halloween! My dog and I just stopped by this new cafe and fell in love!! Did you know Art Collective Cafe is dog-friendly, serves delicious coffee with a big smile and features AMAZING pastries by a Food Network award winning pastry chef? Maria invited us in with a jar of doggy treats, served up a perfect latte and I got to meet their famous pastry chef Alexey Ivanov. Ask him to show you some of their custom pastries and don't forget to check out the art collection! Love love love!“

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

“Friendly, great coffee, “backyard”.“

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

“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 :)“

“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.“

“SOS coffee cups! It’s a great location to grab a coffee before hopping on the train to work. The staff are always friendly. The coffee cups are malfunctioning!!! Please get these guys better cups and sleeves. 9/10 times I’m dripping coffee all over myself on the subway.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best coffee I have had in this city! Brunch was top of the line! The croissants are o die for!! 10/10 recommendation.“

“We love Phil Cafe. The Korean street toast is so good. The owner is a kind and hardworking guy. He takes good care of his customers and makes great breakfast sandwiches. He’s always happy to accommodate our dietary restrictions with dairy. We love being regulars at Phil. The work space and backyard are wonderful too. You can tell he put a lot of work into the space!“

“Different, welcoming and quaint.“

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

“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.“
