The name of this place is absolutely what it is. Busy bee!! They are pretty busy but the staff works extremely well together and the wait is not long for your order. They make great breakfast sandwiches and have a good variety on the menu as well as beverage options. I recommend this place because the coffee is actually very good. Parking of course is tricky because it's NY but worth the stop.

Almond croissant and lavender latte
Polly H.

I enjoyed my lavender latte and my almond croissant. The only issue is that I don't see a bathroom. I saw some seating outside, but it was small. They serve baked goods and salads and have premade turkey sandwiches to-go. It is a bit pricey. The quality of the food and latte is worth it!

There's good and there's bad in this review. Let's start with the bad; I wanted a bagel and this place popped up in my Yelp! search. After a typical quest for parking I arrived and found NO BAGELS!!! So I ordered a BLT on a croissant, which meant unpacking a premade panini and switching the bread out. This in itself isn't an issue, however there was only ONE employee and she was backlogged filling orders and running the register. Now the good; said employee was absolutely on point trying her best to juggle making hand-packed cappuccinos and the grill and the register. She was apologetic for the delay and her smile never wavered . Also when I finally got my sandwich, it was delicious. Sandwich, Latte, tax & tip = $22.79 Take that as it may.

Acai bowl and turkey avo sandwhich

Everything is frozen and pre made the açaí tasted a bit ice crystals the avocados is not fresh is from a packet all sandwiches are pre packed when toasting it they remove the buns then that add the ingredients I would not recommend at all nothing is freshly made maybe just the coffee drinks and the smoothie.

Came here for a pick me up coffee. Noticed they had a different type do beans that weren't any generic beans at every other coffee shop. Unfortunately it tastes more like milk with a hint of coffee for my latte. Won't be back for coffee but the food looked good. I'll be back to try the food instead next time. Staff is friendly.

Avocado Toast
Michelle L.

The coffee was nice and strong. The avocado toast and salad were more acidic from the lemon juice. It is a healthy, easy cafe option. There's a bathroom and a decent number of tables.

Coffee here is so good, food is fair but the environment is really cute and cozy. Service is friendly. Really happy about this newer neighborhood cafe.

If there's one thing that Busy Bee Coffee nailed, it's the "busy" part -- because my friends and I spent an entire day there yapping away like caffeinated squirrels. This cafe was the perfect spot for catching up on all the gossip we didn't know we needed, and with so many seats available, we could spread out like we owned the place. It's spacious enough to house a book club and a knitting circle all at once. * Honey Oat Matcha Latte ($7.47) This tasted like honey took the matcha by the hand and said, "Don't worry, I got this." The honey flavor was strong and sweet but not overpowering, and I loved every sip of it. If you're looking for a matcha latte with personality, this one's a 5/5. * Very Berry Açaí Bowl ($11.32) This bowl was the valedictorian of mediocrity. It was good but didn't exactly leave me dreaming about açaí. The fruits were fresh, the açaí was cold, but overall, it just said, "Hey, I exist." Solid 3/5 for being a reliable but unspectacular sidekick. My friend tried their iced matcha latte and it was disappointing. It tasted like milk with matcha's shadow passing through. No flavor, no life. We ended up passing it around trying to detect anything -- but nope, a unanimous "meh." It's okay though since we were there for the immaculate vibes. Busy Bee Coffee is perfect for those long, sit-down chats, solid bites, and great drinks (as long as you avoid the flavor-challenged iced matcha). Will I return? Absolutely. Will I order the iced matcha? No.

Cappuccino
Shashi R.

Fancy little cafe! 10/22/2024 There is construction outside and you might see a closed sign on the door but the Google map times are accurate and they are open. It's a one man operation so be patient. Cappuccino 9/10 Smooth flavor and texture. Tiramisu cup 7/10 Interesting flavor not a traditional mascarpone mixture but pleasant. At $7.50 it's an OK value. It's a great little dessert to accompany your coffee. Space is clean and spacious. There is an Instagrammable seating area at the back to the left. Place your order, pay, and take a seat. Your order will be brought to you. Return your dishes to the designated area left of the cashier when you're done.

Cafe

I came on a Sunday morning to chill for a bit. Super cute inside, and appreciated the WiFi password being really easy to find. The egg sandwich was freshly made and piping hot, and the chai latte was great (definitely sweet in case that's not your thing). Kind staff and easy to find a seat.

Chai tea latte and Apple Danish
Samantha W.

I stopped by this spot because I had to do an errand nearby. I ordered a hot chai tea latte and an apple danish. I definitely had had better chai teas before so I found it average. The tea taste just was not as strong as I would like. I did enjoy the apple danish as it was buttery and the apple slices were very sweet. However, it's priced at almost 6 dollars so I found it a tad expensive to be honest. The service was great though. I just wouldn't go out of my way to come here but it does have ample seating for you to sit down. They also have free wifi if you want to do some work on a laptop. The ambiance was pretty quiet and chill and they have a variety of food options altogether.

Outside
Jessica L.

Hidden under some scaffolding and what looks like major construction next door, you might just pass this newly opened cafe. You can't tell from the outside but it's very spacious inside. Like, very spacious. The offer a few selection of pastries, but lots of drinks as well as an espresso bar.. What's odd was there is an elevator inside, which I was told it connects to the building. For a moment, I thought it was a hotel but it's not. With that said, it kinda gives you a hotel/lobby/cafe vibe but better. So if you're in the area do check them out. I'm not sure if they allow people to work or be on your laptop though. I did get to try their pesto bagel and it was good

matcha martini & a salted carmel espresso martini
Amanda S.

LOVE this place. First time in and we got the lavender cream latte, the matcha martini (off menu) that the owner helped whip together. As a lover and critic of espresso martinis, THESE were outstanding. Great customer service & hospitality. Truly made me feel cared for and they put so much effort into creating an off menu item!!!! Also all of their food looks outstanding and definitely want to try it in the future!!

I came in during the morning time, to catch up on some work. There are outlets available, just few but it does work when needed. A lot of seats! The bar seats were available during the day as well, it is a huge space with lots of plants around. It does get very busy here with people catching up both on computers and with other people! I did not try the food so I can't rate that, but I did try the iced Osmanthus Sweet Fermented Latte which was an interesting combination. I tried it with 70% sugar, oat milk and less ice. It did had some rice inside it so the texture def was different every sip, it was well balanced. I'm glad I chose 70% sugar cause if it was full, it would be overpowering. I'd def come here again!

But I clearly asked if you're still open when I came in? She was acting cute and wise, "but we were tho" was what she said back to me. This not the type of acceptable customer service man. I'm a frequent and I like this place so much that I come from near Queens college to there place. There's a lot of cafes nearby. Don't be acting like you're all that. I paid $8 for that drink in hopes of sitting for a while and getting some work done but I don't need that drink. They can keep it. I walked right out.

Earlier this month, while visiting Flushing, New York, I searched for a nearby coffee spot and…read morestumbled upon this little tucked-away coffee shop on the corner. With so many places to grab a drink in this lively Chinatown neighborhood, I was happy to discover this cozy little gem! The shop is small, quiet, and peaceful, making it a nice place to stop for a coffee break. If you're planning to sit and enjoy your drink, I'd recommend visiting with a small group of friends or family, as the space is limited. I ordered two Vietnamese coffees , and they were SO GOOD! The coffee was rich, delicious, and generously made with condensed milk. I enjoyed it so much that I came back for the next two days in a row. That alone says a lot about how much I loved their coffee! One thing to note is that the Vietnamese coffee is premade, so you may not be able to customize the sweetness or other options. When ordering through the self-service kiosk, you're required to create an account. I wish there were a guest checkout option, especially for visitors who are just passing through. If you prefer to pay with cash, you can order and pay directly at the register, where card payments are also accepted. I believe there may be a discount of around 5% when paying at the register, but I'd recommend confirming this with the staff. **Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by this little coffee spot if you're visiting Flushing!** If you love Vietnamese coffee and enjoy discovering hidden gems, this place is worth checking out. I came back three days in a row, and I'd happily visit again!

Flushing has so many tea places so I'm glad there's a Viet coffee place in the area! The place has…read morenice decorations and some spots to sit. The menu offers coffee and tea options. We ordered: - coconut frappe: the coffee and coconut have to be mixed to taste better. It was a slushy but had good coffee flavor and not too sweet. It's a great option to try the coffee but if you don't want to too strong, very enjoyable. - egg cream coffee: the egg cream was really good and the coffee was milky but strong. Really good option to try if you enjoy viet coffee with a sweet cream top. The egg cream tastes more unique than other places I've tried. The amount of cream top is generous. The only downside was that it was too much ice and the staff said there was no option to customize. Not pictured but we went back another time to try the black sesame cream and it was soo good, def my fave from the drinks I've tried here. The black sesame was thick and had a strong nutty sesame flavor! Would def recommend trying this place if you're craving some viet coffee (or tea) with unique flavors!

I was actually at the area to grab a couple of other items, including bubble tea and found out that they were having a promotion for their app. If you download their app and log in using your phone number, your first drink from the shop is $0.99! I took this opportunity to sign up right away and try their Strawberry Crema Latte. This was definitely the right move! We ordered this as 50% sugar (I usually drink my bubble tea with 30% sugar) and it was perfectly sweet. I would definitely recommend trying this if you like strawberry milk, the 50% sugar also allowed for the bitterness of the coffee to sneak up as well which gave it the prefect balance of lightly sweet and bitter. It tasted like a melted Strawberry Coffee iced cream. The service was very quick and I would definitely be back to try more drink items!
