Cappuccino was cold and made from burnt beans. We ordered two cups and they differed in taste as well. They were kind enough to remake them but the second round was equally disappointing. Staff is nice but drinks aren't. read more

It pains me to give this place 3 stars bc I really love Caffe Benne establishment. But this location is nothing like any Caffe Benne I've ever been to. The bakery is filled with store bought pastries, with no reference to Korean bakery as this chain began from. The drinks are standard coffee shop fare, no Misugaru drinks or any Korean shaved ice offering. It was so disappointing that it really makes me sad. Can someone please open up a Paris Baguette or Tour Le Jours in Jackson Heights??!!! read more

I really wanted to love this place but the staff is just oblivious. I don't mean to be disrespectful but they are all very dense. Every time I go there they are all tripping over each other. Even when I am the only customer it takes them forever to ring me up not to mention that they screw the order up nearly every time. read more

I've been here once and It's great! I got the iced caramel macchiato. They have such a variety of snacks...from cookies and waffles to salads, sandwiches, and even meals. I'm definitely looking forward to coming again once I get the chance. The only thing is that it can get a bit crowded later in the day. Otherwise, enjoy :) read more

Amazing service, great coffee, and a good ambiance. It's a good spot to get some work done on your laptop but also catch up with friends

Probably worst caffe been in USA. Online order took an hour and a half for food that is made already long time ago. Ordered 6 different items. All staled so much, almost broke my teeth when I had 1st bite. Calamari ring was the worst. Cooked at least 5 days old. What a wasting $60! Avoid at any cost. read more

I'm new to the area and my parents were visiting from out of state. We found this place during a stroll around my block. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious, new, and clean it is. I ordered a strawberry mojito, it was decent tasting but a little too much sugar. I also tried their macaroons and they were great for the price. They have a variety of snacks and sandwiches to choose from. I am grateful I found this place! read more

Only had the coffee and green tea here, and both were ok. In terms of prices, it's on par with Starbucks. I'm giving the place three stars because he WiFi hasn't worked the two times I've been here. It's pretty annoying. read more

This place is either hit or miss. Whats with the little Indian girl like running the place half the time? I know child labor laws are different when its family, but what the hell shes like teaching the other employees who are three times her age. Scary shit when it comes to my food being prepared I can tell you that. I enjoy the food I get from here. Parfaits are on point and so are most of my sandwiches that I order or drinks that I have prepared here. I usually get bacon egg & cheese on a bagel or croissant or I just go for the parfait and leave it at that. Lots of desserts here which make this place an all around decent spot to get something to eat while on the run for sure. Not as crowded as when they first opened, but I'm sure that will change in the winter months and the coffee beans take over read more

The food is ok. Nothing to write home about. I ordered through grub hub for delivery. A bacon egg and cheese sandwich coffee and a soup. What should have been a 45 min delivery was 1.5 hours and still hasn't arrived This is the second time I ordered and it was the same thing last time as well. When I called the restaurant I was just told to call grub hub because they are busy. Should have learned my lesson the first time. If your hungry and expect a delivery then order some where else. Then maybe you'll get what you paid for read more

New place in Jackson Heights. This is a good place to get your coffee and satisfy your sweet tooth. The staff is helpful as well. I believe they are a bit on the pricey side and are one of many locations. I'd prefer more of a mom & pops store as it's trendy but it'll do. read more

Was around the neighbourhood looking for a peaceful yet lively place to enjoy a cup of coffee while I waited for a friend! This was just it! Had one of their vegetarian sandwiches with mozzarella cheese and pesto which was absolutely delicious! The coffee was also exactly how I asked them to make it! The staff was extremely friendly and sweet. I hear their waffles are to die for so will be going back for sure ! Overall a pleasant experience ! read more

Nice cafe space for reading/writing or bringing friends to. Green tea latte and hamantaschen are good. Polite staff behind the counter. Good to have another hangout space in this neighbourhood. Korean European style coffee shop chain. Seating is too jammed together however. read more

This is my hangout! Coffee is delicious and staff is friendly and they know me by name. There are lots of vegan/vegetarian options like almond milk and vegetable paninis. Lots of delicious organic drinks for the health conscious. read more

I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich that was delivered cold and stale. Also, I specified milk in my iced coffee and it was delivered black. But, seriously, the sandwich??? WTF read more

If you are looking for good coffee don't even bother, it's not worth it for the price mine as well go to Starbucks and get good coffee. The staff are okay, I asked them to put more caffeine on my latte and they just put to drops of coffee I had to trough it out and go somewhere else to get it. They have sandwiches and a lot desserts options, I tried their carrot cake it was good. The place is big and has plenty of room in case you like to do computer work On this type of places. read more

Excellent service , great coffee and food what more could Jackson Heights ever want?! & for those other negative reviews down below? Give them a break their a growing business ! Slowly BUT SURELY. read more

**update: Try their new mocktails! I had the lava flow mocktail and it was delicious! They have also added a variety of different sandwiches/pastas/salads to their refrigerated area. You can ask them to warm it up for you. Overall, they have made available a variety of delicious new items that you must go try! I love this place! It's a great place to come and get some work done or catch up with friends. They have such a wide variety of different foods ranging from their delicious waffles to their savory sandwiches. They also have really good coffee. I love their chai tea and caramel lattes! They have a seasonal menu and right now, the s'mores hot chocolate hits the spot! I am definitely looking forward to what else they come up with. Overall, they are an awesome addition to the neighborhood! read more

Enjoyed the teriyaki sandwich. The iced tea lemonade was not good. He might have poured me just ice tea.

I went to this store once to buy some breakfast for me and my mother. Like most places, I take a picture of the menu and send it to my mother so she can tell me what she wants, and I order the food for both of us. As I try to take a picture, I'm immediately told I can't do that, and I'm not allowed to explain my self, and soon after the man won't even listen to me, trying to usher me out. I was so confused and I'm still mad. Terrible Customer Service. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Street parking was a bit difficult today but pretty good overall. We went to another location in the city before .

This is a great addition to the neighborhood. My kids love the waffles and honey bread and I like their coffee better than Starbucks. The owner Hetal is always there and very nice and it's a comfortable place to sit and meet. read more

This place is great-- not sure what the complaining is about. Yummy food, decent prices, quick service.

Great service, food, and a beautiful setting!

Stepped in here for the first time today since they opened in jh. The service is great. Will be coming back. Oh and no issues with paying with credit card. read more

This is the first time I have ever came to cafe benne and it is wayyyyyy better than Starbucks. I like their company, their baristas are very friendly and kind and work very hard. Every thing is prepared with a perfect amount of time and very rapidly. I shall refer my friends and family to this coffee shop read more

Surprisingly good black and white cookie and gelato. Decent selection of random chain cafe snacks/drinks. Only reason it's not more stars is it just has that chain vibe. Very solid place to go read or work at. read more

Excellent "new age" coffee shop venue that attracts clientele of all ages, backgrounds, from high schoolers to seniors. The coffee and beverages are superb as is the food and snacks. The layout consists of individual seats and tables, seating up to 44 with views of 37th Ave at 81st St...lots of pedestrian traffic. They also have free wifi and power outlets. On occasions I have observed ad hoc meetings among small groups which enhance the general atmosphere. The bathroom is clean and well maintained, too. The staff is friendly and pleasant. If you're bored with the Starbucks scene, check out this venue....... read more

Caffe Bene - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I love and appreciate how this cafe differs from the other stores. These owners have taken caffe Bene to a whole other level. The decor is beautiful. The environment is friendly and the employees are refreshing. They smile , they joke with customers and give honest feedback about the merchandise they are selling. They explain how things are made and they do their best to ensure the customer's always satisfied. Sure there will be slow days but you cannot rush perfection... Right? If you want a "hot sandwich" be mindful that they have to prepare it and make sure they aren't giving you an undercooked meal. I love the almond croissants! I also noticed they started carrying blueberry bagels. (I've never tried it) but I definitely intend on doing so. They'll get better over time. Starbucks is no competition to them. read more

I ordered a chocolate crumb cake. I got to my table and took a bite. It tasted funny. I turned it over and it was covered in fuzzy mold. It says a lot about the age and freshness of their baked goods. I returned it to the counter and they apologized but I have been sick since eating this and would never recommend this place and will never return. read more

This place simply sucks. No long reviews or gripes needed. This is just related to coffee and coffee related drinks. They taste like shit. read more

This place is great. Really nice staff! Great selection of pastries, breads, ice cream, cakes, and then soups and prepared foods too. I like their açaí bowls. It seems like a nice place to do work too. read more

I think some of the reviewers here have been quite generous. As a local resident of this neighborhood, I was looking forward to the opening of a caffebene but sadly, it has disappointed me with their mediocre, overpriced food. Most importantly, the quality of their coffee is not as great. I brought my relative here to claim the free coffee coupon and honestly, it pales in comparison to McDonald's coffee. Although I enjoy the nice environment and the availability of outlets, I think it could've been better. I hope they continue to improve their quality of food and their coffee. read more

I come here for the macrons only, everything else not so much, not best quality, in both sweets & savory options. Coffee is ok, service is up to par but not the best, venue is clean and organized, provides great alternative to starbucks on busy days read more

Waffles are good, coffee is mediocre and the space is nice for hanging out. Main issue is that even after a few weeks the staff has forgotten at least one item I've ordered on 3 of my orders. read more

Good food, fast service, clean place.

This is one of my "go to" spots for a comfortable environment, a cup of coffee, great employees and an overall nice atmosphere. The location is perfect and I am always treated kindly by all the staff! Desserts are also delicious here. The place is MUCH cleaner and comfortable compared to many other coffee shops in the area. This is definitely one of my favorite working/relaxing spots in Queens! read more

A great place to find healthy food options! The atmosphere here are always very pleasant. The service here is also fairly instant and the staff courteous. Let's just say Nutella itself is very tempting but The Nutella latte here is the best thing I ever drank. The atmosphere of the store is fairly clam and very neatly organized. Sometimes on Sundays I treat myself getting some healthy food options from the store and just sit by my computer in a couch in the store for hours. read more

Great Coffee, great espresso, great banana waffle come on give them a break they only have 2 days open, im sure they will get it together this place also brings life to the block ! will be there everyday to have my double shot ! read more

This is the best cafe I have ever been to! They have a rather large menu with tasty savory and sweet dishes. I was especially impressed by their expresso, which instantly reminded me of delicious coffee I drank in Rome. In terms of savory foods their salmon avocado sandwhich was a favorite. The service was great; they had friendly staff and speedy service. What more can i ask for!? The cafe was decorated nicely giving me a homey feel, the seats were comfortable, on top of that the wifi was fast. I can not praise this cafe enough, I will definitely be returning! read more
