I came here to give this location a shot since I am quite familiar with the Forest Avenue location. The staff here is very nice and polite and our food was out in a relatively timely manner. I tried the hungry man waffles which are gluten free and I thought it was a fine meal. They had a very yummy sauce on it however I was a bit disappointed by the rest of the waffle. I also got the cookies and cream coffee and it was very delicious. My only gripe about this location and the other one is I feel like it's a little too sweet for breakfast. It'll do the job for breakfast in a pinch but I always find myself wishing for a little more when I visit a beans and leaves. Additionally the atmosphere at the Forest Avenue location blows this one out of the water although this one is still pretty cute. read more

Beans &Leaves is a cute little cafe with few seats for dining in. I ordered for take out and it took about 15-20 minutes. The staff were quite attentive when I walked in and greeted customers with a big smile. We ordered a turkey bacon, egg, cheese on croissant and a bacon, egg, and cheese on croissant. I also got an iced latte. The croissants did not look too appealing but it tasted quite good and flavorful. The latte was also pretty decent. read more

Beans & Leaves Cafe - two plates of breakfast food - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I generally have more of an appetite for a savory meal than a sweet one so I tried the Hungry Man Grand Slam and a frittata with home fries to share. While it was a filling meal, I think I was left hungry for more flavor. The lack of seasoning/flavor in both meals was surprising to me because the home fries on the side were absolutely scrumptious and topped with a variety of dried herbs. To top off my experience, I ordered a decaf jelly roll latte and was surprised that this creation was actually just a mocha latte without any actual fruit syrup to account for the "jelly" flavor. The drink also ended up being caffeinated to my unfortunate surprise. I'm still giving Beans and Leaves 3 stars because my date's cookies and cream frappe was sooo delicious and from the raving reviews from friends, I'm assuming I just picked wrong. Overall, I thought the staff was very kind and checked in on me and my date often. The inside of the cafe also has a very hipster, mellow feel with its wooden theme and string lights. read more

See all

First time I came I dined, not the worst experience but waited over an hour for food while everyone that came after me got theirs before my order. Food and drinks were good. Second time went to pick up drinks, the workers look like they don't want to be there. Ordered a scone and it was stale and had mold in it. Payed almost $3 for just for cold foam, insane. Drinks are already expensive, shouldn't have to pay that much for cold foam when the drinks are already priced high. read more

Beans & Leaves Cafe - Beans and leaves blueberry scone - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

This location is set up more for take out orders but if you do manage to get a table, no one will rush you. They also have a very large selection of coffees and a variety of milk substitutes. The spicy man waffle, which was basically an omelette cooked in a waffle maker was surprisingly satisfying. read more

Beans & Leaves Cafe - Spicy man waffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

So happy beans is on the south shore now! This is such a great little breakfast spot. The coffee is legit, it's so smooth and the flavors are always great (and not artificial tasting). It's a very casual experience as far as dining goes.. you order your food at the cashier and someone brings it out to you when it's ready. Easy peasy. The hungry man waffle was soooo good, even better than I thought it would be. I keep coming back for more! read more

Beans & Leaves Cafe - Hungry Man Waffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

My first time here today. Really really impressed and enjoyed it. Asked for a lavender cappuccino with oatmilk and it was Divine! Such a cute ambience. Seems they have many breakfast options, smoothies and sandwiches. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Not the best place for working. I was looking for a quiet cafe to drink coffee and work on my laptop, and I wouldn't recommend this spot. The seating isn't ideal and the more you sit there, the more you notice it. The chairs were too low and the table was too high. I'm shorter than average, but I'm not tiny by any means. These tables made me feel minature. The table was close to my shoulder height, and when I tried to use my laptop, my elbows couldn't rest on the table. Also, it isn't very clear that you can ONLY order at the counter. When I entered, I was sat at a table and handed a menu. The other guests and I were confused about if there was wait service. It wasn't made clear that there is not, and everyone needs to order at the counter. I had a waffle with butter and syrup, and it was serviceable. Beans & Leaves Cafe is definitely more of a brunch spot. It's a cute location with a cozy ambiance, but for the reasons I mentioned before, it needs improvements before I would consider coming back. read more

I bought 4 dream cakes from here and was so disappointed had to throw them out they were completely dry and stale and must have been sitting out for 2 weeks or more. They should not have been sold and it was a total waste of money read more

A small friendly coffee shop with a big heart! Beans and Leaves sets the example for mom and pop stores. The staff is friendly , knowledgeable and helpful. The coffee unique with its "Flavor of the day" offering different tastes every day. The waffles , pasteries and now egg dishes go beyond delicious! A must try and repeat for all coffee lovers. Keep up the good work! read more

Everything is delicious. The service is really friendly and the coffee selection is great.

We catered the "i do" breakfast for the morning of my daughter's wedding and I am so glad we chose beans & leaves. The food was delievered right on time and came like it just came off the stove. All the bridesmaids and most importantly the bride couldn't stop saying how delicious everything was especially the new brioche french toast item. Thank you to Danielle for being so kind and making my daughter's wedding morning so special. read more

Phenomenal Omelette, Loved The Caramel Latte! Best Breakfast On SI By Far! Everyone worth checking out for sure :)

Excellent service and delicious drinks and food!!! I love the atmosphere. It very relaxing and peaceful.

Terrible service. They gave the table that ordered after us their food before us. 45 minutes for our food to come because they made the mistake of giving us the wrong order. Even a simple croissant I had to ask 3 times for it just so I can have something to feed my toddler while we waited that long. Workers could care less of their mistakes. The food was fine but the experience and service was terrible. read more

Best coffee shop on Staten Island. Thank you for embracing diversity when employing staff! Will continue to be a regular customer

What an amazing place! Kudos to the community for establishing such a great business and for the customers for being patient and kind to a diverse community of employees. The employees were a delight, I just want to address a comment that called them "rude", "disruptive" and "not fun". This is a cafe that employs people with disabilities. If you want to learn more about this community and get delicious coffee and treats at the same time, go! If you are too ignorant to tolerate people who do not act the same as you, then go somewhere else and don't ruin a great experience for everyone. There should be more Beans & Leaves Cafe's out there! read more

The best coffee shop on Staten Island! The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. My recommendation is a waffle with Nutella, banana and strawberries but any waffle is amazing. The avocado toast with egg is also a favorite. The atmosphere is great and the coffee delicious! Would highly recommend! read more

Beans & Leaves Cafe - a neon sign on a wall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

So freaking happy they opened another one in this location!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE their coffee. The original spot serves coffee and waffles (of different varieties which taste great) but happily I found out they're going to be offering different options! Sometimes a girl has got to have her protein. Had their egg sandwich while getting a latte there recently. A bit small so expect a wait time if you're going around a popular breakfast time frame. read more

I am giving three stars because I had positive experiences with this business in the past. I ordered food. They brought out food for my mom and brother. They finished their food and I still haven't received mine. The table that came after fully got all of their food. I asked the young guy bringing out food to the table what happened to my food. He said he would check and never let me know. About ten minutes later I went to ask the young girl behind the counter that also said they would check. About 10 minutes later my smores waffle finally came out. The young guy puts the plate down with an attitude and said sorry with an attitude. This speaks to not good practices in the kitchen from the food expeditor making sure all food goes out together for the table and the front of the house that noticed the situation and did nothing to correct it on their own and not very personable and pleasant to deal with. I will not be returning to this location! read more

Great place I used to drive about an hour to their forest Avenue shop just for their Red Velvet Latte. Now they opened on Arthur Kill close to my home and I must say the Red Velvet Latte was just as good. Staff great. Next time I will eat there. The place was packed like their original shop so I'm guessing the food is awesome! They also sell red velvet candles that's my next purchase when I visit. Cute atmosphere!!! read more

My new favorite spot! The food is delicious! Low key atmosphere where you can sit and talk and enjoy! Seth is such a nice gentleman and pays careful attention to what he prepares. He makes you feel welcome. . His culinary skills are awesome! Give it a try! read more

Pretty cute place, good coffee and friendly service. The chai latte is delicious, I recommend this place.

Egg white frittatas are a must try fantastic coffee very good definitely coming back can't get back fast enough to try more

The staff is so nice the food was actually delish. The best waffle I have ever eaten honestly. Madison in the front was so nice all the staff was. They had extra of a drink that I wanted to try and they gave it to me for free. Seth the chef came out and asked us how our meal was and was so sweet. Overall will be returning to try all the things on the menu. read more

Cancelled grubhub order without notice then took half of a pick up order before telling me they are too busy for even a pickup. Horrible service read more

If you know me personally, you know I've been insanely obsessed with beans and leaves coffee since 2013. But my love for this business goes way beyond its product. The service, the people, the over abundance of love, care, & decency from a reputable staff... & the fact that you can be in an environment where there is no hate nor discrimination of ANY KIND. THIS is a business I will always whole heartedly support & you would be a FOOL to think otherwise. I commend this business for their willingness to give working opportunities to workers with disABILITIES. Just one of the many reasons why I love being a loyal customer there. You should be proud of yourselves & the way you operate your business. Bless you all! read more

Whenever you want the best cup of coffee on the south shore this is the place to go to hands down

Amazing experience!!! Chef Seth was wonderful checking in on the all customers and of course the food was delicious. Will be back!
