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.

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!!

Fortunately, the food was delicious and service was impeccable. We ordered 4 entrées to share and enjoyed everything. My favorite was the Half-Baked Chicken. The skin was so crispy and the chicken so tender. The Braised Short Rib was also really good and the crispy Brussels sprouts that come with it were the perfect amount of crispy. The other dishes we ordered were good too. We finished everything down to the last grain of rice.

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

The exposed brick, greenery and neon "Let's Do Brunch" sign give it a fun vibe and make for some great pictures. It was quite busy when we were there, which wasn't surprising given its popularity. Our server, Syriah, was very good. She was friendly, attentive, made recommendations from the menu and even took our group photo for us -- and got a good one! We really appreciated her service. The food was good, although I wouldn't say it was exceptional. I've had better brunch food at other spots, but everything I had was enjoyable and nicely presented. I tried the mimosa flight, which was definitely fun and Instagram-worthy. The drinks were a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but Tropical Sunset was my favorite of the flight. And I have to mention the funniest part of the whole experience: before brunch, my Sorority sister kept texting me, "Let's do brunch." I kept responding, "Okay, WHERE?" She finally had to explain that LET'S DO BRUNCH was the name of the restaurant! So the place had us laughing before we even arrived. Overall, it's a cute, lively neighborhood spot with good food, fun drinks and very good service. I'd definitely recommend it for a casual girls' brunch or get-together -- just expect a crowd because apparently everybody else has decided to "Let's Do Brunch" too.

I know I just reviewed them recently, but I had to come back and give more love because when the…read moredecision was made for my friends and I to attend a Game 4 Knicks watch party at Cobblestones, I was excited to make a trip back here. I got there early to snag a table, and the team was already hard at work with nearly the entire beergarden packed with fans. The hostess Jenna was an absolute rockstar all night - I don't think she stopped moving or smiling! Not only was she seating guests with poise and insane amounts of charm, but she was also running food and drinks to make sure guests weren't waiting for their orders - in fact, despite there being more than 250 people in the beergarden, we never waited more than 4 minutes for drinks and 12 minutes for food which is pretty impressive given how busy they were inside and outside. We were served by Lana, who legit might have been the nicest, friendliest, most engaging server I have ever met in New York City, and I am not being overly dramatic here. She handled her insanely large section with aplomb, took the time to actually learn our names and address us by names when asking if we wanted to order anything, checked in on us every few minutes even if we did not need anything, and despite likely being tired from all of the guests, the running of food and drinks, and the hustling, she was cracking jokes all night through her radiant and starry smile, and making our group feel like the most important people there despite the fact that we were just three regular dudes enjoying a basketball game. Her attentiveness and personality alone are worth requesting to sit in her section at all times. Food was solid on this trip - our table ordered a half-pound burger which was cooked and seasoned perfectly (came with fries and toppings), mozzarella sticks which were piping hot with a nice crunch on the exterior, waffle fries (had to get them again they were too good last trip), and honey BBQ wings, which although they weren't very meaty (not their fault since I am assuming they didn't butcher the wings in-house - could have just been a lean batch from the supplier), the sauce was addictive and delicious and I found myself dipping everything we ordered into it so it wouldn't go to waste - order the Honey BBQ! All beers came out cold and rapidly (Cobblestones uses plastic for half liter beers when the beergarden is saturated with guests, just be prepared for that - makes sense because of the volume). The rest of the staff was incredible given the chaos. Beergarden manager Pete made it a point to check in on us a couple of times and was very appreciative of all of the guests coming for the game, and you can tell he steers the ship effectively because everyone in the beergarden was focused, attentive, and in the zone during what many bars would be challenged to handle. One final thought - my two friends who came with me (who are NOT "let's go out drinking at night" type of guys) asked me when we are coming back for a Friday or Saturday night - they loved the atmosphere, loved the friendly service from Lana, and loved the food and drinks. The answer? very soon! Thank you Cobblestones!

I've only been inside the pub and not the outdoor section a few times but what I can say:…read more1. It can get crowded but service is fast 2. Wings are great!

There's usually a line of some length during peak hours and especially around the holidays. You can tell by the sheer volume of baked goods and cakes available in their window displays that they sell a lot daily. This location is on the main drag of the little downtown section of Forest Hills, the baked goods in the front window display connect to a tall and long glass counter along the left side of the store that extends almost to the back. At the back middle and along the right side of the wall there's seating for about two dozen people at small cafe tables. They carry an assortment of traditional cakes (full and sliced), pies, cookies, pastries, cheesecakes, cupcakes, ice cream and coffee/tea drinks. A wide variety of flavors in each, so you're bound to find something sweet to satisfy most here. They are a classic bakery so from what I can tell, they don't carry items that are gluten, dairy or nut free. I've purchased their apple pie, fruit tart, berry napoleon, red velvet and chocolate fudge cakes from this or other locations in the past and they're all solid choices for desserts to share with a larger group, though I find a lot of their cake options to be on the richer side. My most recent encounter with their cakes came in the form of a slice of their seven layer cake $9.95 which is thin layers of yellow cake alternating with chocolate cream mmm pretty tasty, and their caramel cake $9.95 which had a layer of chocolate cake in the middle, sandwiched by caramel cream and white cake on either side. The latter had a pronounced caramel flavor that was enjoyable though a bit too much cream for me. My preference would be for their chocolate cakes over other cake flavors here. Their apple pie is one of my favorite apple pies anywhere tho!
