24 Best Cafes in Staten Island

“I had The Truffle Egg Toast it was splendid and Exquisite taste, aswell as cooked to perfection. But also My neighbor keeps peeking over my fence at Me. And He constantly let's his dog go in my yard. Not to mention he always puts his trash in my garbage cans“

“I had crepes for breakfast today and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, the coffee was great, and the service was outstanding. The guy Lisander who helped me was very kind and attentive. I totally recommend this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I got a beautiful basket from Bella Beans for Mother’s Day and what a surprise!! The cookies & coffee were delicious inside and my tumbler will for sure come in handy! Thank you Bella Beans for this personalized basket you made from my Husband and kids!“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place. My boyfriend and I (both baristas) drive the distance for this coffee; you can taste how much the owner, Pierre, cares about both his craft & his customers. Simple, carefully curated menu; home-made syrups; incredibly kind staff (that always seem happy to be there).“

“Cozy atmosphere paired with excellent service made for a wonderful brunch experience. The BLT was delicious, but the fries truly stole the show. The Eggs Benedict were perfectly prepared—rich, flavorful, and cooked just right. What makes this spot even more special is its mission: the restaurant is run by a company that employs individuals with learning and intellectual disabilities, and the staff were nothing short of respectful, professional, and warm. This was our third visit, and once again, it was the perfect brunch spot.“

“This is a must try, we had afternoon tea and lunch. Everything was delicious, we tried the elderberry tea and it was amazing. The service was top notch. We will be going back again real soon. Definitely recommend everyone to spend the afternoon there.“

“The food is amazing ! The matcha latte (hot), hot chocolate, cardamom pancakes, beef bacon, the eggs lol everything!

The areas for growth is this: I see that the spot gets very busy on the weekends.. customers like myself didn’t know that they had to order at the counter and then find an available seat. So I think it would be helpful for maybe a hostess to greet customers coming in or maybe setting up some type of seating service on the weekends, so customers don’t walk out. Still 5 stars because it was worth the wait and the food was amazing. A periodic check in with guests is great too to see if they need anything else. In this area the service can improve. Maybe an additional waitress/waiter.

Update 5/3/26: delicious food as always, the tiramisu latte is amazing, everything is. I see the service has improved. Every single staff member is amazing, shoutout to the chefs, the baristas, all the staff members helping this restaurant thrive, I hope management shows appreciation for these staff members who work hard because I definitely see improvements, highly recommend to all.“

“Bubble teas here are the best. Bubbles are always fresh. The owner(s) are super kind. They made sure customers are happy with the amount of bubbles. Every weekend while we are in town, we would ask my son to drive 30 minutes (one way)
here for the bubbles teas. Definitely worth the drive! We love bubbles teas here! Best wishes to the owner(s). :)“

“The coffee is fantastic, especially if you're a fan of strong coffee!“

“Fun atmosphere and delicious pastries!“

“I’ve now gone 3 times ( cause I’m local ) and every time I go, I always get the kindest and sweetest service. I’ve thankfully had the pleasure of interacting with almost everyone who works behind the counter and every one is just so kind. Drinks and food are a 10/10 as well. I’m going to start coming here for daily drink instead of Dunkin:)“

“They have amazing vegetarian and vegan options on both the food menu and within the bakery. Everything is so so so good!“

“We would like to thank Paul & his staff from Hillside Gourmet for sending breakfast to the Material Management Dept. at SIUH/Northwell Health. ❤️ @siuhnorth“

“This has to be my FAVORITE boba tea shop in Staten Island! It has a great variety of boba teas to try so you can try something different every time!! My favorite has to definitely be getting the smoothies and adding popping boba. The owner is super sweet and makes the drinks always taste good when I go. The prices are good and it’s worth it since it just tastes so good!!!! If your looking for a new place to try some boba tea definitely come to Boba Le tea Cafe:) you won’t regret it 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“🌟 The best local neighborhood spot • A Must-Go 🌟

High quality espresso from OSLO Roasters. I even buy the beans from them for coffee at home. The drinks are always crafted with care and they circulate creative seasonal drink specials. ☕️

The kitchen is outrageous! The chefs keep it interesting with weekly specials. One of my recurring favorites is the chorizo breakfast burrito. The chicken avocado club is also a favorite of mine. 🌯

And they are always hosting fun, creative events! You never know what event Juan, the owner, has up his sleeve. From live music after hours to local artisanal vendor markets and ceramic class pop ups, Northside has really ingrained itself in the community. ❤️“

“We had an amazing experience! The customer service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. This was our first time visiting, and it definitely won’t be our last. We are already looking forward to coming back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“I highly recommend Beans & Leaves! We hired them to provide a coffee bar for our daughter’s engagement brunch, and they were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. On the morning of the event — with snow on the ground — Danielle, one of the owners, personally called to confirm everything was still on. She shoveled herself out and drove in from New Jersey to be there. That level of dedication and professionalism truly speaks volumes. The coffee bar was a huge hit with our guests. Espresso drinks, flavored lattes, oat milk options — everything was crafted fresh and tasted amazing. The setup was polished and added such a special touch to the celebration. Professional, reliable, and delicious. I would absolutely use them again for any special event.“

“The. Choice are the most for one that love choices to the full extent. We love supporting the entire purpose of this shop and what it literally stands for for.. Over all spread the word to keep giving this business busy cause they are getting the work and flavors done… The community is absolutely their for this busy but All borough should as well cause it’s literally stand by the purpose it been built on…“

“I saw this along my neighborhood and wanted to try it. My cousins and I went and the place has many seats (we went during a weekday) and the place is very pretty. I ordered a pistachio latte and it wasn’t too sweet and didn’t have an overbearing flavor it was pretty good. My cousin got a caramel macchiato and it was too sweet, I’m sure you can probably adjust the amount. But overall the drinks are pretty good. We didn’t get to try any pastries but i’ve seen videos online saying they were good.“

“Excellent place!“
