Aside from some growing pains as they just ... well... opened, I have big plans for this place. I have been at this place in and out for the 3 days working on a paper for grad school, and have not felt rushed at all. I welcome that tremendously. The staff are friendly, there is ample space to work (as well as ample outlets to plug in!) and my kids love the macarons :) I have had several sandwiches already (sad, but.. well... working!) and the spicy chicken was tasty, and the egg, turkey and cheese was perfectly fine. Also, love the teas, coffee (glad to have almond milk!) and variety of beverages in the fridge. If we can throw some Greek yogurt in there, I would be a happy lady :) I just read a few reviews and I was here the first few days it opened... you can see improvements in efficiency and customer service. Everyone here is learning at the same time, and are doing just fine. read more

I love my caffe bene after work. This place is second to none as to service, and courtesy. Yes they're always open. Their mocha frappe is so good I would go crazy without it. Kudos to all staff for a great job... from your loyal mocha frappe customer :) read more

One of my favorite steakhouse. Friends and family oriented. Great vibes. Wide variety read more

Never order food from here. At minimum will take over an hour. Like 75+ minutes. My acai bowl arrived completely melted. Completely. I couldn't eat it. Seamless wouldn't even give me a refund. I PAID FOR INEDIBLE FOOD and no one seemed to give a sh!t. They lost a customer. I will seek a charge back from my bank if this isn't resolved. read more

I don't usually write reviews but after receiving a horrendous order of rotten fruits on a yogurt parfait, microwaved stale mozzarella sticks and a disgusting burner croissant I felt that I had to get this out of my system. I contacted cafe Bene but no manager was available to take my call, thank god uber eats gave me a full refund the only place that this food belongs is the garbage, and to think that they advertise as fresh. read more

See all

Great place with various menu options and really cute seating and decor! Lovely place read more

Caffe Bene - Great place to come in with family, friends and even your kids. Various menu options! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

I didn't even realize this Caffebene existed in the hustle and bustle of Jackson Heights. Jackson Heights definitely needs a Caffebene! Went here on a Sunday afternoon after lunch hours-ish and there were probably only 1-2 empty tables. Their menu is pretty much the same with any other Caffebene but definitely a nicer ambiance (i.e: less crowded) than the one in Manhattan. Finding street parking around this area isn't that hard either. read more

Some staff here are not as customer-friendly as I'm pretty sure the owners of Caffe Bene would like them to be. No greetings or any form of trying to help a customer, and even ignores when called politely twice ("excuse me" and "miss?"). read more

Extremely rude staff; heard them cursing and using racial remarks as I was leaving because I was late to pick up and order; do not use this place of business; horrible service. read more

Cafebene is good place to have breakfast in Jackson Heights. It has some quality compare to the rest of the places. Also in this area almost impossible to find other cafe house that serves big variety warm and cold sandwiches and coffees. Also I have to say lots of drinks available such as combucha that hard to find in the neighborhood. The food always fresh. So far I always fund clean the restroom which is a huge plus!! On the downside: I have to say a little bit overpriced! The workers can't except tips but a bit is too expensive. I never came out from here to spend under $20 for two of us. Also I asked for waffle sandwich, but it was made out of bread that looked like waffle. If I knew I just ask for regular sandwich. All together I would recommend it. read more

I really want to like this place. The food is good, but the service is HORRIBLE. Every time I come it takes 20 minutes to make a plain bagel with cream cheese! Then they give my order to someone else so I have to wait even longer. I keep hoping it will get better, but out of two weeks that I've been coming here for breakfast only one day I didn't have to wait for my order. Until they get their act together with their employees I won't be coming back and I suggest you don't either. I'd probably spend leas time sitting down and getting served at Jahns than coming here. Which is sad because I really like their food but can't deal with the lack of service any more. read more

I'm giving it three stars because the Pesto farro Chicken Protein Quinoa was awesome! But it took them forever to get here. I ordered at 7:32 and got my delivery 9:55. As you can imagine I was starving and a bit annoyed by the time the driver got here. I felt bad after, because he seemed overwhelmed. read more

Woke up craving a waffle grilled cheese sandwich and this place has them...a big selection in fact. Frittaffle was what we went with and it was pretty good. A tad bit sweet batter, and could use a bit more cheese, but otherwise did the trick. Friendly counter service and average wait. Plenty of seating and great selection of prepared foods, snacks, pastries and desserts. read more

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

Really kind employees, lots of options to choose from and great for studying. I think I come here almost everyday for the bowls, I usually get the Nutella bowl with no coconut flakes and extra Nutella or get the portabella sandwhich with chipotle sauce. The only complaint is that it can get super crowded and sometimes there aren't seats but usually it will clear up when you wait a minute or two. read more

I have been to a bunch of Caffè Bene including the ones in the city.. this one though beats it all.. perfect drinks to beat the summers with.. tons of desserts to choose from..and to top it all off.. just a stellar management that manages it all so beautifully.. not a frown encountered on anyone's face.. One has tons of options in Queens but to stand out among all is an achievement Caffè Bene! Keep up the amazing work and keep the goodness of your foods coming :) - RJ read more

Amazing food selection and delicious options!! Free & speedy delivery! I definitely recommend

Came excited to give your lil one a special breakfast as she loves waffle but they don't have waffle as the machine was broken so unwillingly had to get honey bread which she doesn't like at all & I got pancake for myself which got chewy in mins. Pancake wasn't fresh as you can tell they use frozen one! So disappointed to start our day there with tasteless breakfast!! read more

I ordered decaf and was told it would take a few mins. Ten mins later, the barista was nowhere to be seen and I was finally asked by another employee what I was waiting for, then she finally handed me my drink. Also the WiFi was cut off for five minutes, possibly due to many people on their laptops and the staff was laughing. read more

This place is my new go-to caffe! The interior is beautiful and the free WiFi is a plus for working. The mojitos are so refreshing-- you definitely have to try the peach one. The cashier was extremely helpful the first time I came and the waffles are pretty on par as well. read more

Not clean. Saw a bug crawling around. Pretty nasty. Coffee wasn't great either. Better options around elsewhere

Excellent coffee shop, when I come in to get a waffle, smoothie, sandwich or get a coffee. Food is fresh, service is excellent. Best coffee shop in the area. Love the menu !!! Espresso to iced coffee it's amazing read more

I was so excited when i heard that they're going to open a korean chain in my neighborhood.. And then they finally open.. First the lights were white? Its too halal truck!? Second it was too disorganized they dont know what theyre doing.. I went on line, When i finally get to the register I ask them if they serve the shaved ice. The cashier said yes we do so I ordered the red bean shaved ice and paid with a card, went though and now the waiting game started.. I was just standing in the corner holding my receipt waiting them to call my order 5 mins after i follow up my order and they said "yes its coming" ok.. Then i noticed a lady sitting, shes there before i walked in to the store and i didnt know shes waiting for her stuff too.. I felt bad for her coz shes waiting more than me. Anyway back to me, 15mins after nothing i got nothing so I waited near the register and look at the kitchen and I saw a female staff looking at the recipe " i guess she didnt know whats in it" good start for you but really? Ive been waiting for 15 mins now.. And now i saw her walking around seems like shes trying to find something.. And I overheard that shes looking for a can opener!!! So im waiting for nothing, nobody told us whats going on... And the female at the back got the nerve to give us attitude telling us its not her job to let us know that my stuff is not coming anytime soon! Fine I got so pissed its 20mins after I just want a refund... But the indian manager walked out the store and no one on the staff can do a card refund so I have to wait again for him to come back!!!? Horrible 35mins waiting for nothing... Thats my first and last on this store never again.. read more

The service people were very nice. I had a Cafe Americano - it was decent but nothing to write home about. They didn't have cinnamon, cocoa powder, or nutmeg which I usually sprinkle in my coffee after adding milk and sugar. As far as the ambiance goes, they have beautiful, vintage light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. But for some reason, they also keep the fluorescent ceiling lights on full blast drowning out any charm of the vintage bulbs. The lighting is about cozy as a high school cafeteria. Not a smart move on the decorator's part. read more

The internet is crap - I had a hard time connecting to their WiFi. Food is also overpriced considering the quality

i came here expecting O-kay prices, but i was unsettled and frankly startled when i came to the realization that many of the menu's items are absurdly overpriced. The ambience- or rather lack of thereof-- should have secured one's mind in thinking that this place is not so ESTEEMED to be having prices as high as the ones i have seen. Anyways, concerning the quality of the food- it is obscene how the quality doesn't correlate to what i PAID for whatsoever. the french toast was rather dry and even the maple syrup couldn't do it justice. If you have money, i guess it's your choice whether to splurge here or not. next time, if i want to pay a lot, i'm going to place that deserves my money read more

I came here to study knowing it's a caffe bene branch. However, this caffe bene definitely exudes a different feel all together. In one word, it's more ghetto and less classy/chic. It's as if a deli was combined with the cafe. The baked goods are not Korean baked goods, but rather wrapped muffins and white and black cookies, boxes of Kind bars... This isn't what caffe bene's atmosphere should feel like. They also don't play music which I don't mind, but it's awkward feeling. I ordered a cafe mocha, and wow, it is ridiculously tasteless and watered down.......... That was a big waste of my $4 for a small. Should've gone to Starbucks. read more

This is absolutely my favorite coffee place. The best in Jackson Heights! Coffee is delicious and they have great selection of breakfast, lunch and deserts in their menu. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. And all the stuff are super nice. Love this place! read more

The food is mediocre and the cheesecake was rubbery and stale. For the price you would think they would put more effort into making sure customers get fresh food. A big disappointment. read more

Tried to get a flavored decaf latte. Asked about sugar free syrup...nope, don't have any. Hmmm. Was going to get one anyway but changed my mind when cashier told me "the milk is over there". Latte is pretty much a coffee shop staple, how does she not know what's in it? Too bad, was hoping for an alternative to Starbucks. read more

I love Caffebene drinks much more than most of the regular drinks I get at Dunkin Donuts/Starbucks. The price is considerably lower and the espresso drinks aren't as bitter. However, their non-coffee menu items are overpriced. I've been to the Caffebene in Astoria/Steinway and the one in Sunnyside, so I was excited when the Jackson Heights location finally opened. It's pretty spacious (compared to the Steinway one), and plenty of seats on the floor and along the windows. This location does get pretty busy, but they don't rush you, plus, the window counter seats are pretty comfy. I stopped by this location around the time they first opened up, and it was clear that the staff was pretty overwhelmed. They ran out of a couple of things I wanted to order, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and returned a few days later. Things seem to be running more smoothly now. I'm definitely going to be a regular & fill up my Loyalty Card! read more

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

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

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

Not bad. We needed another cafe so this is good. Lots of seating - I'd almost say it looks like too much! It feels kind of cluttered. It's kind of pricey for what it is - basically the same as Starbucks prices but smaller sizes. Had a latte and it was decent. Lots of food options, baked goods look good, gelato and macarons, too. No problems with service, looks like they are working out the kinks. read more

I like drinking coffee and working in a coffee shop. This Caffe Bene is spacious with ample electric outlets for my devices. Their coffee is pretty good. What else do I need? Oh, adding more red beans to their delicious ice parfaits would make it even better. read more

Workers are really nice and even the owners of the place are really friendly. They are patient as well. I love all the stuff they have and it's a great place to hang out with friends and family also wth your bf or alone as well :) read more
