I was a little surprise to see a chain store placed in a hidden residential area. I didn't have much expectations, but a friend of mine swears by them. So we stopped in for a bit. Had their mango snow or ice? No, it's snow. Notice I'm just writing this on the whim. Overall, it isn't too bad. If you have a sweet tooth craving. This would be a spot. Great for after dinner spots to hangout and chit chat with some sweets on the side. Also bought their banana muffin and coffee cake for breakfast. Definitely on point. Not overly sweet like other spots I've been to. Would definitely come back. read more

Coffee Monster - Nice little spot - Cafes Near Me - Whitestone, New York

Good evening to all. I feel it's worth writing a positive review about this clean, pleasant coffee shop especially after reading this fictional review written at 6 pm tonite. Normally I don't get involved in other peoples business but this was a rude, obnoxious, shameful treatment of two college age staff. I entered the coffee shop about 5.30 pm and witnessed 2 people yelling at each other in a normally quiet coffee shop I frequent daily for the the past few years. I was sitting right next to the 2 customers and overheard the entire conversation. All I can say is the S.J. 6 pm review is the furthest from the truth. The manager offered to prepare a new dish and offered to refund the amount paid at least 3 times and the customer refused everything. Additionally the customer was threatening the staff for being polite, professional, courteous with a smile. It definitely appeared the customer was looking for an altercation. 5 stars to the staff for being so calm and polite. These 2 customers should be ashamed for treating staff so badly and then writing a 100% false review. I recommend this coffee shop strongly ! The coffee, bakery dishes and entire staff are 5 stars ! My background includes over 20 years food service, customer service and hotel and restaurant management, safety and security. My review is 100% accurate and credible. read more

We drove by the area one rainy morning and found this cute spot by our home. At first glance, the cafe is very clean and spacious with Wi-Fi and outlets. We ordered an iced cappuccino, cold brew, and a croffle. We were very happy with our coffees and the croffle was exceptionally good. Perfect texture and flavor. Highly recommend anyone to give the croffle a try! read more

Friendly service in a relaxing atmosphere. The coffee and tea are great. It's a refreshing option from the other big coffee spots. Worth a stop in. read more

This place is getting 5 stars because they sanitized my credit card. The ikea chairs are also a nice touch, same ones I have. The door was open and it was easy to distance. Cold brew was delicious. The other locations didn't have cold brew in the past so I'm not sure if it's unique to this location. My only disappointment was the lack of breakfast foods. I prefer a croissant or breakfast sandwich, but if muffins or loaves are your thing then there's a few choices. read more

really good coffee, yummy sandwiches, friendly and fast service. I love trying new things at this place. Good prices too and it's very nice inside. read more

By far my favorite Coffee Monster to visit. Staff is friendly and always goes above and beyond. Thank you guys for always treating your customers so nicely. Will enjoy my bingsu as always and thank you for the soup! read more

Honestly really great spot! I'm so glad they opened a coffee shop in Whitestone. The place is really clean and well decorated. I love coffee and this place makes an amazing Iced Coffee! Just beware that it's a little strong and will most definitely keep you up. The service is quick and the people are friendly. They also have bubble tea which I'm excited to try! They put the bubble tea in cute lightbulb cups! They have plenty of seating and take credit cards. The selections of snacks and breads are great as well. Also free wifi which is a plus! read more

Great new spot in Whitestone. Parking in this area isn't a struggle like flushing. The bubble tea was sweet and refreshing and the mango shaved ice was great! We had macaroons as a post-dessert dessert it was soft and delicious. read more

Love the decor. I have been in the other location and was surprised to find out they opened a new location. Parking here seems easier than the other location, so I will be coming back with my kids for the shaved ice. Got an iced caramel latte with almond milk and it was decent. The coffee is a little on the acidic side. It's nice that they have pastry and dessert options to enjoy with your coffee. Free WiFi. Apparently it's owed by the same owners as the nail salon next door. read more

Oh my goodness, they finally opened back up. They've been closed since March due to the COVID19 pandemic. This place is such a gem. I was so surprised to see a cafe pop up in such a remote area. I love the coffee frappe here. I can always customize it to however I like (I get mine with almond milk). The drink sizes are pretty generous. Their small is like a Starbuck's grande, and Medium is the same size as a venti. Definite worth the money. read more

best coffee shoo I've ever been too, staff and owner super friendly , they have games you can play , highly recommended the coffee !!!

Hands down one of the most welcoming and warm cafes I have ever visited. The staff were lovely and you can't help but admire the detail put into the decor. Overall, an amazing experience and worth stopping by if you're in the area and need a quick refresher or a great place to get some work done. read more

It nice and convenient place for me. Especially I love strawberry shaved Ice from this place. But there Iced coffee is over priced and not frash. A large cup of Ice coffee is $4 which is expensive than the Starbucks but tast is not frash. I paid $11.16 for one large cup of coffee and one bubble tea. When I was there I didn't know I paid more than what I had to and I realized after I left there. I was unhappy with there quality of a cup of Iced coffee and what I paid extra for nothing. That was just small amount of charges but they shouldn't do that. read more

Good coffee and lighting to do work. However, the songs they play is very loud and distracting. A lot of songs with heavy bass drops which defeats the purpose of a cafe. read more

This review is based solely on the Iced Coffee with milk and sugar. I have not tried anything else here but the iced coffee is so damn good this place deserves 5 stars just for that. The service staff and owner are all very nice and friendly as read more

What a cute local gem. Coffee and cakes are on point and they serve Demarco coffee which is a local Queens roaster. I'm taking away one star since the staff were not very friendly and look as if they want to be anywhere but there. Have not tried the shaved ice but it looks delicious. read more

Great coffee, great service! It's also nice to see they carry cheesecake from a local shop nearby. Definitely a great spot in the area. And their specials menu has some interesting and yummy options! read more

Completely new and exquisite, coffee is great, selection of snacks and bread is phenomenal! Try the hotdog bread, they heat it up for you behind the counter. Workers are nice and unlike most other Asian coffee spots in Queens, the employees actually speak decent English. Since they opened last month, I've been going daily and not once have I been disappointed! Completely reccommended for those who want a quick cup of coffee for their commute or a quick study and/or conversation with friends. read more

Ordered a green tea latte and bought a piece of pastry. Pastry that is wrapped in those little plastic wraps are extremely overpriced. Green tea latte was by far the worst I've had. It tasted like musky water, is the best way I can put it. A waste of my $$$ read more

As a business owner I understand how important my employees are to my companies bottom line. I discovered this place while on an afternoon walk with my wife a few months ago and it seemed like a great find. We've been here a handful of times for some shaved ice, which is actually very good btw. Recently went in for some around 835pm, waited in line to place my order (around 839pm). When the young man asked me what I wanted I ordered the mango shaved ice, when the young woman heard my order she immediately scoffed and walked away. The young man repeatedly asked her a question in their native language while she ignored him. He then proceeded to walk away and have a private conversation with the woman (I could still see you bro). When he returned he informed me of this policy they had decided to implement that they do not take shaved iced ordered after 840pm. It is now 841pm mind you and he spent the last 2 minutes speaking to the woman. I begin to argue the point a little but I figured hey it's not really worth it. I started To walk out the door as he yelled "Wait you wanted Medium right?!" No thanks buddy. Just to make a point, the people before me ordered the expect same item. Regardless of the fact, the place makes good items but their employees are just terrible. Even the handful of times I've gone they have just been nothing but rude and dismissive. read more

They're closed during the pandemic but one of my favorite places for a nice drink. My favorite is their Nutella latte (iced or hot!), it has two espresso shots with a strong Nutella flavor. Can't wait to come back here read more

We went biking around Whitestone area and came across this cute little gem! Location is quite visible at the corner 154th Street and 23rd Avenue. Interior is modern and clean. It is very spacious. Ambiance is cozy with new jazz music. Bakery are freshly made and tasty. The types of products they carry are new school bakery. Overall this place is a great spot for a nice date, where you can have a quality conversation. read more

Americano tastes bitter... their regular ice coffee is preferable than espresso drinks

Superrrr happy they've reopened since the height of the pandemic. I've been here at least 10 times. The girls and boys behind the counter are always nice and so is the boss. I will be back. I love to treat myself to some coffee monster read more

Very pretty place, well decorated and clean bathroom. Might get a little chilly but it's a good cafe to study in.

So far I've tried their mango smoothie, peach smoothie, monster ade, and taro bubble tea and they all taste very good! I don't wanna go to Starbucks and Dunkin anymore... however I didn't really care for the light bulb shaped cup for bubble tea. So easy to topple over while carrying in car, that's what happened to me more than two thirds poured on my car seat even though I used tray they gave me read more

I love the environment. Very elegant and quite for a short talk or studying. The decoration is very unique. Fresh bakery made delivery. The macaroons are so tasty and a lot of flavors. The coffee is great! Love this place read more

Love the atmosphere and lots of seating. Came with my friends we had ice latte, cold brew, chocolate shave snow ice, blueberry scone, and grapefruit honey ice tea. Everything was delicious. They have a assorted variety of macaroons that look yummy. Will definitely be coming back more often. Great place to do work or hang out and chat with friends. read more
