Reviews
I love the vibe of this place, super friendly, and one of the worker literally knows almost every client by name the duration I was there for my drink. She took my order and I asked what she recommended. The Thai ice tea latte was a hit. She said it was her favorite and I believe her. It is really good, I would get it a lot less sweeter the next time but it was still awesome. They have wonderful coffee and my wife loves coming here. Great place to study, or play board games in the quiet neighborhood
It's a great place to consider if you're a local or if you're passing by. The staff is friendly and their coffee is pretty good.
To be clear, this Coffee Monster is not a destination (#1). It is however, a solid neighborhood option for a coffee meeting, caffeine hit, or a place to work and study. More importantly, it outshines its sister locations in better service, cleanliness, while offering a solid array of drinks. It doesn't look large on the outside, but the inside offers plenty of seating. I appreciate the casual yet low key vibe, speedy WiFi, and clean bathrooms. Even during their usual morning rush hour, the crowds are never too overwhelming here (#2) and it's a super ideal spot for an impromptu meeting. There are a lot of interesting drink choices that include flavored lattes (red bean, tiramisu, etc.), bubble teas, and a very strong house drip. They have a lot of classic cafe items such as macchiatos, affogato, cold brew, and matcha / chai options as well. They're mostly average to good and they're consistent with it. Those coffee light bulb jugs are creative and make for a quality photo opp The food is not often talked about, but the croffle was a big driver in getting new folks here. it was crunchy and quite complementary with the coffee. They also have a daily selection of muffins, desserts, that are solid in a pinch but not a reason to be here. Lastly, I appreciate the young staffers behind the counter. They are always patient and professional and never hassle for gratuity. Drinks were made in a timely manner and they were good about making everyone in my group feel welcome. ____________ (#1) Also, neither is Whitestone, Queens. (#2) Unlike their Flushing location. Yeesh.
The staff all look like they may have voted for Biden. But put aside politics for a second and they were all honestly really nice and I didn't feel uncomfortable ordering from them. Their cookies are delicious! Super yummy. Almost like Enteman's mini cookies. The code can be made 100 different ways. I got it the way I get it everywhere: Medium Hot with two cream one sugar. Piping hot, and delicious! A bit pricy, but would recommend to anyone with social anxiety for it seems to have drawn just that type of crowd. Seating makes you feel like you're in a food court at the mall. A food court at the mall in perhaps an Asia. country.
The coffee I got was delicious just have patience if going here and they are busy because the orders are all custom.
