50 Best Cafes near Sunnyside

“My favorite place for coffee. They roast their own coffee and custom grind it to your needs, French press in my case. Great hot and iced coffee to go. Iced is poured over coffee cubes not ice cubes. So it’s never diluted as the ice melts. And they have tasty mini croissants to go with it 😋 Conveniently located across 40th Street station on the 7 line so you can grab your coffee and quickly get to the El. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s always nice to go there. They’ve been in business for about 60 years so they’re doing it right.“

“Very clean ,food taste great, the smoothie are amazing ,and excelent service“

“Found this cozy spot in the neighborhood with good coffee and plenty of room.

I can tell the owner is professional in coffee. We had little talks about coffee and the ♥️cappuccino was beautiful. The milk foam was micro, smooth, and creamy.

The muffin they had from bakery outside was moist as well. Highly recommend the ✨carrot fruit muffin, a lot of raisins inside.“

“Cafe Colombia is an exceptionally delicious, homey spot for bakery and simple breakfast. Must try the oreijas, which are made of well-risen pastry with carom folded in. They are baked to a rich caramel, but flake perfectly when broken or bitten.“

“Amazing food! Highly recommended! One of the best food menus in the neighborhood!“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“My wife and I stumbled onto this location one day when passing through Queens. She just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee, but what we got was so much better than expected. We had a “flat white” which was amazing high-quality coffee. And a piece of homemade baklava. I have to say this was hands-down, The absolute BEST baklava I’ve ever had in my life and if you’re a fan of this dessert, you absolutely need to go try it for yourself. I myself, have grown-up eating plenty of baklava. In my hometown, we have one of the highest Middle Eastern populations in the country so we have plenty of great baklava but I’ve still never had it this good. It was Perfect!✨ A large quantity, but not too filling, well-defined layers, very light & flaky but still moist, and just the right amount of nuts. when you bite into it, no part of the dessert gets lost or covered up. You can taste every element standing out with prominent flavor; from the freshness of the walnuts to the sweetness of the syrup and quality of the dough. After talking to the owner for a while, she explained to us how she bakes everything herself and how she refuses to buy her desserts from bakeries or skimp out on quality even if it makes her job easier. Let me tell you, it shows! I highly respect the integrity she brings to her baking and her café. She also gave us some cookies that were amazing as well.

Now let me tell you a bit about the owners of this establishment. They’re a dedicated hard working family from Montenegro and were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my travels. They were VERY kind warmhearted people who opened their business up to us as if it was their home and we were long time friends, stopping by for a visit. It was honestly surreal how comfortable they made us feel. We spoke for over an hour and enjoyed their beautifully designed and well kept Café/Bar. Whenever I go to a new location, I really pay close attention to how much the owners care about their business and the customers they serve. It is by far the most important criteria. With these owners, you can tell they really put their all into the business and it is truly a family affair. I loved how the husband and wife were both there working together and even their daughter pitches in. The daughter even drew this amazing Halloween picture on the board by the entrance and you can tell how proud her parents are of her skills. I truly admire the love and attention this family puts into their business, and I can confidently say they’re the American dream in action!🇺🇸 Please go pay these guys a visit I promise you won’t be disappointed. I know for us, It will be worth it to make the trip from New Jersey to visit again soon.“

“Came here on a cold night after my friends wanted to play board games. My friend’s house was super far away but this place was great!

There were lots of selections and we decided to play Catan and exploding kittens. I have not tried a drink but I would next time. Workers were really nice too :)“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“I ate here on Friday (1/3) for lunch. I had the kangaroo skewers and fish sandwich and chips. The food was delicious. I never had kangaroo before. Kate, my amazing server, recommended it big time. I am so glad she did. The meat was the best thing I have ever tasted. The fish sandwich was incredible. The chips were so light and fluffy. I came back the next day (1/4) for dinner with my cousin and her Australian husband. He said the kangaroo skewers were the best he ever had in his life, even when he lived in Australia. Elina, our server that night, was awesome. We had delicious food and drinks in a fun and welcoming environment. The prices are great. Kate and Elina are amazing. I will definitely come back again and again. The prices are totally reasonable. The portions are huge. The food is impeccable. It is so nice to have a warm and friendly restaurant/bar/cafe in the area.“

“I did brunch with my family and it was overall a good experience. First off, service was great! Yes, you do have to get your drinks, like in most cafes but they do serve you food and cutleries. My parents thought their coffee was not as hot as they would have expected. But the staff was courteous enough to instantly serve another fresh cup. We ordered shaphaley, momos, chips and guac (diff chips style, which I loved), french toast, Himalayan breakfast (this was great!) and regular brunch breakfast. Overall, everything tasted good. The french toast was okay hence taking a point off for food. Other than that, this cafe meets my needs for asian and western fusion brunch. Will def visit again ?.“

“this corner spot caught our eye at around 9 on a thursday with it’s red glow & cute sunken dining room that is visible from the street. the ambiance - warm and cozy. the service - quick and very personable. the bartender is awesome. the food & drink - perfect. got the spiked horchata drink n a birria res gordita, both amazing and still thinking about… ***the best fresh masa/tortillas pressed right before serving - all within view from the bar - dinner n a show. literally can’t say enough good things. excited to come back. :)“

“Nice environment, relaxing music, love the chicken sandwich and lamb Haneeth sandwich waffle fries are delicious I’m hooked on brown sugar cardemon iced coffee and service is always with a Smile no indoor seating yet but they do have limited outdoor seating a must try other foods and beverages available 😃“

“Got the smoked salmon tartine and HOLY COW was it delicious. Visiting from out of town, and a local friend suggested we meet here. I’m so glad we decided on here. Convenient location right off the subway, and Maricello was an excellent server. 10/10 — would come back again.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Loved this place. Cute little surprise in my neighborhood. Place was small but very charming. Staff was very accommodating, attentive and quick. Food looked and tasted amazing. Very flavorful. The icing on the cake was the music as they happened to play my type of alternative bands. This is definitely a 5 star spot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“David is an excellent waiter, he is very attentive and knowledgeable about the business and does a great job with the customers. Thank you very much David, and the food is super delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Very great with children“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“Service is very friendly and prompt. Atmosphere is very airy and bright. They have a wide selection of great pastries, breakfast and light lunches.“

“I love this place so much and it always hits the spot. It’s such a homey vibe and I’m always so impressed with how efficiently they can make food considering how small the open kitchen is. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they all slap. I love the effort that’s put into the presentation and you really can’t beat the price.

Most importantly i love that the kitchen is like 3 tias - it tugs my heart strings“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Cute vibey place, warm cozy atmosphere.. got the bacon egg and cheese double bacon double cheese and a maple donut cruller thang with a iced mocha.. only regret is not eating it there while it was hot and fresh… everything was what I wanted and needed.. so much delicious

Vegetarian options: They got salads and such“

“Matcha Cafe Maiko is my favorite spot for desserts! This spot is my go-to, especially when I'm craving matcha or hojicha flavors. The Maiko Special is always one of my favorites to order and share with a friend, but this month's specials were black sesame which I knew I had to try as well! I ordered the black sesame soft serve and my friend ordered the black sesame latte, and both were incredible! I'm a huge fan of black sesame flavored desserts, and these really hit the spot.

Also loved how the shop was decorated beautifully for Halloween! Amazing quality desserts, service, and vibes. I also appreciate how this location has a few benches outside, so when I visit with friends, we're able to sit together right outside the shop and enjoy our desserts. I've been here several times and will definitely will keep coming back!“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Love their cold brew coffee，If you’re looking for a charming place with a great atmosphere, you can’t pass HI-Collar up.“

“We had a wonderful meal here. My girlfriend loves to eat healthy and they had several healthy options, as well as, diverse offering of food, cafe and even mimosas for me.

If you are at the Park Ave location, definitely ask for Mimi she provides excellent Customer Service. We highly recommend Tartinery!“

“Stumbled upon this gem with some friends. To my delight, this place is fantastic.

I got the strawberry gelato and decaf cappuccino, though i tried my friends’ vanilla gelato and starberry milkshake. All were superb. I was not expecting such high quality.

I am an ice cream and milkshake enthusiast — and this would rate as one of the best.

The owner is also very sweet.

10/10!“

“I love Daily Provisions and order delivery from this location so often it's actually a little weird. Food is always good! I can't place an order from here without getting a cold brew and a blueberry muffin, the patty melt and tuna melt are so good, the chefy salad is perfect, and the breakfast sandwiches are great.

The only thing is that about 9/10 times I order, they do not include a straw for my iced coffee or a hot sauce for my breakfast sandwich. Tbh, they probably only send the hot sauce once out of every 20 orders (I really order from here a disturbing amount).

Whatever, the heart wants what the heart wants. But PLEASE start sending straws!! And maybe let me order a cruller online? :)“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“Absolutely love this place
Discovered it yesterday and I already went twice - isn’t that insane ?

Grace and Justin provided flawless service. Including the lady who closed (I’m an asshole and came the last 30 mins before closing. Please don’t do this).

Would return a million times“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“The food is absolutely fabulous. It is presented beautifully. We were going to go to the place next door, but due to the wait there, we ended up at Good Thanks. Such a delightful mistake. So much so that we came down again all the way from East Harlem to come back once more before the end of our trip. This is a must visit.“

“super sweet staff and great lattes! while I hung out to do work, I noticed everyone behind the counter was friendly and chatted with literally everyone who came in. great vibes, comfy seating for hanging for a bit. would love to gatekeep this place to keep it chill and quiet, but they deserve the review more! highly recommend ♥️“

“Was bummed they didn’t have their honey cinnamon latte so I opted to get their mandarin latte instead which was amazing! Service was a bit slow as it was quite busy on a Thursday morning. Would definitely recommend trying their specialty drinks!“

“AMAZING PLACE!!! I’m vegan and although they don’t have vegan items on the menu they gave me a list of options I could eat! I got a Fava bean burrito with Egyptian salad, tahina, salsa verde, and their muffaletta mix(sun dried tomatoes and olives)! The flavors were super yummy and unique. The owner as well as the employees were all super sweet and quick to help me with options. If you’re a vegan in the area I’d totally check this place out!

“You should come here because they have speciality coffee and drinks, and stay for the vibes and culture. Love the concepts like the "coquito latte" and the whole attention to detail from the paintings and murals on the wall to the stoned floor and the domino table that sits in the middle of it all.“

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“Turboboost to become really happy!“

“Came here 2 times. First time I ordered a latte and it was a 15 minutes wait. The latte tasted okay. The second time I ordered the light Cuban panini. The panini tasted very good. Didn’t need to wait long due to calling ahead 15 minutes. I wished they gave an extra packet of hot sauce. Overall, highly recommend the food!“

“Slate Cafe NoMad is a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal. I noted it was busy but runs efficiently, and the staff is friendly. I tried the cauliflower soup, which was flavorful and well-made with sourdough bread. The green tea was also delicious. They also offer good vegan and vegetarian options, like the Dijon chickpea salad sandwich, which pairs well with the soup. The setup makes it easy to grab a meal without a long wait, and the atmosphere is welcoming. A solid choice for a casual lunch.

Vegetarian options: They have unique options and vegan choices

Dietary restrictions: They answered my questions“

“mi piace tanto il vostro posto,e veramente un piccolo parte della nostra Italia mandato qui a new York, grazie ragazzi 👌🥂“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“I live right down the block, and Tenz is hands down my favorite coffee. First off the owner is so friendly and remembered my order w in 2 times of going, and it’s always delicious. But beyond that it’s the most affordable coffee I’ve come across and a bonus somehow they are always playing bangers. Try them out you will not be disappointed!“

“enjoyed my Sunday morning with relishing brunch!“
