    Banana matcha
    Cairo R.

    I love supporting a local business and it's so coo to see a new, hip, modern place pop up in an area with a lot of more traditional businesses around. Staff is friendly. Food can be a little pricey but drinks are more affordable. I ordered the banana matcha and loved it. This place also turns into a bar after hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday which is awesome if you live down the street and want to go out without going to the city and want to stay local.

    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).

    Enjoying coffee and pastries together
    Abram R.

    Updated: May 10, 2026. I decided to visited this establishment to buy a bag of Indonesian coffee. The service was very poor from the last time I was there. I had to asked a number of the workers to grind my coffee beans. One worker was trying to help me buy needed to ask someone how to grind the beans in the machine. It appears the individual that needed to grind my beans was on his cell phone texting away. I had to insist that I needed my coffee beans to be grind. It wasn't until one of the workers decided to help me to have my coffee beans grind. Even as I left the individual was still on the phone texting. It appears from the last time I was there , all new staff. Also I did not see any fresh pastries. That is why I changed the rating from 5

    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.

    Inside

    Pulled up to Elm Roastery Cafe in Elmhurst like I was just grabbing a quick coffee... walked out feeling cultured, productive, and emotionally supported This place is fancy but not trying too hard. Artisan coffee that tastes like it went to school, but priced like it still lives in Queens. Cozy, clean, plenty of seating (yes, even in the back), and somehow there's always a spot--perfect for working, meetings, or pretending you're working while eating pastries. Now let's talk damage: * Teddy Bear Financier -- a teddy bear-shaped almond cake with chocolate accents. Cute? Yes. Manly? Surprisingly. Delicious? Absolutely undefeated. * Ham & cheese croissant -- baked fresh daily, buttery, classic, zero notes. * Beef empanada -- straight home run. No debate. * Cold brew -- fresh, smooth, flavorful, and didn't bully my stomach. Staff? Super kind, helpful, and actually happy to be there. Bathrooms? Clean enough to trust. Atmosphere? Warm, inviting, neighborhood gold. Elm Roastery is a major win for Queens. Come to work, come to chill, come to eat a teddy bear pastry and question your masculinity for 2 seconds before ordering another one. 83-30A Broadway, Elmhurst, Queens Support good coffee. Support good vibes.

    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

    How's the parking over there?

    Mornings and afternoons are good normally, but it can be a little challenging.
