    Lotus Latte
    Lily L.

    Cute little cafe to get some work done as well as grab a bite. The service is very fast and the baristas are very polite. The food itself is also simple but delicious and the coffee is definitely worth stopping by for. They also have decaf options for those who just like the coffee flavor but don't want to be jumping off the walls after. They also have a good variety of sweet treats as well, definitely worth a visit if you are in the Elmhurst area.

    As much as I (and pretty much every New Yorker) agree that we don't need another coffee shop every 2 blocks, this seems to be the case with bakeries in Elmhurst, but not dedicated coffee shops (unless you count Starbucks lol). Coffee shop during the day, quiet bar at night. Good coffee, matcha, and cocktails--what a gem of a spot to find yourself in, no matter what hours of the day. Elm Roastery has demonstrated how a business should give back to the community. They utilize their space for good and host a lot of social gatherings and community events, which is not all that common in this area...unless you dig for it. I've been here more than I can count and have tried pretty much most of their menu and I have never been disappointed. They get very creative with their seasonal drinks, which is always exciting. Lots of experimentation (which I get may not be for everyone) and varieties with matcha. I absolutely love going to this place when they get into holiday season mode--tree is up, and holiday specials are out, and they have the coziest environment during after-hours. Also worth noting that they sell handmade crafts that are sourced from local artists, like as greeting cards, accessories, and jewelry, which makes you want to support a business like this even more. I will say that their drink prices aren't really geared towards grab-and-go people who buy coffee every day out of necessity, and taste/quality is not a priority, but rather for people who want to appreciate craft coffee and matcha. Asian-owned (Filipino, I believe since my friend pointed out that they have hard-to-find Filipino pastries).

    Egg sandwich
    Taylor W.

    We got the seasonal gingerbread matcha latte, iced lavender matcha latte, chili chicken toast, egg sandwich. The gingerbread matcha had a beautiful cinnamon aroma and a strong matcha taste filled with aromatic spices. The iced lavender matcha latte was also pretty solid and I could really taste the hints of the lavender syrup. I'm curious about their coffee options given how good their matcha was. The egg sandwich is phenomenal with its cheesy, creamy goodness. The chili chicken toast was not bad but needed more chili for my preferences. They also have avocado toast, which I didn't try but looked good. This place has a lot of seating options from table seats to counter. Some places are designated social zones so no laptops. They also have games available to encourage people to interact. I was very impressed with their efforts in making an open and welcoming environment for friends to hangout.

    Iced Strawberry Matcha (~$8)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Iced Strawberry Matcha (~$8) Aya's take: Elm Roastery is already pretty popular and I can see why. Every seat was taken around 2pm on a Sunday. The drinks are made with skill and intention, they have a wide variety on their menu, and they have a great aesthetic! What's not to like? The Iced Strawberry Matcha was vibrant and bright from the strawberry and earthy and slightly bitter from the matcha. Those flavors combined to make a great drink that was also creamy and balanced. It was very pleasant to sip on and gave me a small caffeine kick. ~$8 it was a bit much but the quality was there. Solid try and would definitely come back when I'm in the area!

    I like the construction is unique and darker color but place is comfortably bright. The ambience warm and the place always maintains comfortable temperature. The drink are a little pricey but decent. I am able to complete some work here with at least 2 charging ports around. Hours are great and bathroom is clean. Not bad for a working and waiting area. Always people here but always have seats. Very decent.

    Ube Latte
    Gab G.

    Stopped in on a weekend at around 1:30 PM and the place was packed, but I was able to grab a seat the coffee bar. I ordered an iced ube oat milk latte; it didn't come with coffee so I added a shot of espresso. It was good but not sure it was worth the price ($9.50 with the alternative milk, espresso and tip).

    I was so happy to find this cafe in Elmhurst! What a treat! I really enjoyed their financiers and their matcha latte, matcha Americano, cold brew. Service is quick and the cafe is pretty spacious. They also sell some hand made accessories in store.

    Chili Chicken Toast
    Catherine M.

    Finally made time to check it out. Perfect coffee and great space. Tried the chicken toast which was piled so high with chicken. Great Chile crisp flavor. Look forward to trying more things in the future. Staff super friendly.

    Keepin it real out here in Elmhurst Pretty solid spot for the amount of space they have, really well done being in a busy area. I've been to other cafes where their coffee beans were used, so solid coffee game. Has seating but can get crowded, bathroom is clean, overall solid cafe

    Elm Roastery isn't just a coffee shop, it's a gathering place, a warm corner of Elmhurst where strangers become neighbors and mornings feel a little softer. From the moment you step inside, you're wrapped in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that feels both thoughtfully designed and effortlessly homey. It's the kind of place that invites you to stay a while. The coffee selection is exceptional. My personal favorites are the London Fog, perfectly balanced and soothing, the s'mores latte with its subtle toasted sweetness, and their beautifully crafted macchiato. And on days when I'm not in the mood for coffee, the jasmine lemonade is my go to, bright, fragrant, and incredibly refreshing. The pastries and breakfast/lunch offerings are delish! If you stop by in the morning, you might catch the croissants coming fresh out of the oven, their buttery aroma filling the space. The ham and cheese croissant is irresistibly flaky and savory. The egg sandwich is pure perfection, the eggs somehow impossibly fluffy, seasoned just right, layered with arugula, and what tastes like a secret aioli that brings everything together. Even when I tell myself I'll keep it simple with the avocado toast, I'm always tempted to add that cloud like egg on top. One of my favorite details is the open kitchen. You can actually see the care that goes into every plate and every cup. The staff are very attentive, genuinely kind, and welcoming in a way that never feels rushed or forced. There's a warmth to the service that makes you feel remembered. If you live in the neighborhood, or find yourself anywhere near Elmhurst, Elm Roastery is a must visit. It's only a matter of time before there are lines out the door, and honestly, they would be well deserved.

    pumpkin spice latte & apple crumble latte
    Sebastian C.

    Elm Roastery has been on my radar since I saw them on Instagram when they first opened. So glad I finally visited because they did not disappoint! The interior is cozy and surprisingly spacious by New York standards. There's a seating area in the front and a more tables in the back, with the espresso bar running down the middle. I had no trouble finding a seat on a Saturday morning. The space had a nice mix of people working, reading, or just hanging out and enjoying their playlist (I personally fell in the last category). We tried two seasonal lattes: the pumpkin spice and the apple crumble. The latte art on both was top-notch. While the price is on the higher side for a latte ($8.50), it was absolutely worth it for the quality. The espresso was smooth and perfectly brewed--not burnt. Both the pumpkin spice and the apple crumb flavors were prominent but without tasting overly sweet or artificial. The baristas were friendly and helpful with the menu. Our drinks were ready a couple minutes after ordering. Overall, Elm Roastery is a fantastic addition to Elmhurst and central Queens.

    Elmhurst is getting more diverse bakeries and eateries in the neighborhood. It was a hot and sweltering day. Wanted to cool off and get a cup of coffee to start the day. From the outside Elm Roastery appears pretty small, but once you walk in the place is pretty big. You can sit by the window or at a table to get work done. Seems like most of the patrons here come and do work at Elm Roastery. Laptops on table and phones charging. It's the first time I visited this store and had no expectations. Ordered a large drip coffee with cream and it was good. I come back for the drip coffee again. The food item ordered since it was early in the morning. Got the Avocado toast $10.50. It was one slice of hard toast cut in half on top of the toast was arugula with sliced avocado and topped with red onions sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning dashed with oil. Toast was so hard that I had to dunk it into the coffee to soften it up. Avocado was fresh and the arugula too. Next time I go for their croissant. Staff was friendly. Bathroom clean. Had no idea some guy was roasting coffee in the back. I did not smell the roast from the front of the store. Cute items for sale on the shelves Area for patrons to socialize

    As stated before, I finally came back to try the savory foods from Tea Cup Cafe!…read more Starting off, my fiancé ordered the Crispy Fish. The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)! For some reason, I love the coconut thai tea from here and always find myself craving it.

    Best hidden gem In Elmhurst area and that says a lot given all of the quality Thai food the area…read morehas to offer. This place started off as a cafe, then started offering more and more food. They're always friendly and food is always fresh. Great to see that they continue to expand!
