Great food, friendly servers. Nice ambiance. People of all ages. Has music on weekends and regular art exhibits. Definitely a neighborhood highlight read more

Well they reopened and it's awesome. They kept the awesome painted Jackson Heights strong mural which is awesome. They also have outdoor table space for about 15 people. I loved their pretzel and cinnamon raisin bagel it was so awesome and soft. Definitely glad to see them open again after some hooligans smashed in their front windows. Definitely get a latte here, it's awesome and will definitely wake you up. I really love their art collection and the poetry nights back when you could be inside the shop. That's on hold for now. Definitely come and check this place out but leave your laptop at home on the weekends ;). They also serve amazing beer and wine too :) read more

I would not recommend this place just because of their food- there are so many other great food places in Jackson heights- -Customer service is horrible here. -cashiers actitud is terrible. -you don't feel welcomed. For coffee and tea??? I can go to somewhere else and find a nice smile to start my day!!! read more

This place is catered to the elitists of the neighborhood who think they're too good for deli coffee and Starbucks, when in reality all Espresso77 is a poor cafe with a fancy menu and baristas who don't know what they're doing. The cashier/baristas have huge attitude problems and I have yet to come across a decent employee. Their menu seems highly appealing, but their drinks are atrocious and their indifferent employees probably just like mixing random liquids and calling it a day. The owners never improve their food and menu knowing that the yuppies will continue to support them. This cafe will fit your need if you're passing by Jackson Heights and need a place to sit outside with overpriced coffee, but don't go out of your way to try this place. read more

Been here once, good outdoor space. Good date spot imo. Got an iced Americano, and thought the espresso was pretty good. read more

I have lived on 77th Street for over two years and I have never visited that place and I see what the reason has been. The staff is very rude. I was running and I decided to grab a cappuccino and a cheeseboard. I was without a t-shirt, so I decided to sit outside. After 30 minutes of sitting, the manager came in front of my table and loudly told me that I should put on a shirt or should I leave the place. Other customers around listened to him; however, they expressed that there was no problem with being shirtless. I told him I didn't know about the dress code for having coffee in an outdoor cafeteria. I had to leave. The worst experience. I will never come back. I do not recommend this place. read more

I was sitting outside drinking my coffee doing work on my computer on a perfect Saturday morning. I was there for about 30 minutes minding my own business when some guy walked up to me on the street (maybe he's a manager) and told me they have a no laptop rule on the weekends due to fear of people sitting there for too long. When I told him that people around me were on their phones and sitting there for longer periods with finished beverages he gave me a disgusted look and seemed to want me to leave. Never coming back again. Never heard of a cafe that doesnt allow laptops. Terrible. read more

Decent coffee and food. Small but cozy and very family friendly. Note that they are screen free on the weekends so you can't be working on your computer tablet. read more

It's time to write a review as it's just ridiculous how bad the drinks are here. Have been going for a good 17 years on and off as the atmosphere keeps me hanging in there, but it's a coffee place with bad coffee(? why even bother then?) , that serves burnt matcha (barista turned it brown, 1000% undrinkable), and a cup full of water for a hot chocolate (where even asked if could have milk) that makes you need to spit it out. We have resigned to only get tea- with a tea bag- or occasional glass of wine. Think they quickly hire anyone without any sort of training (how can you not make HOT CHOCOLATE)- *except the two long-time women who have been there and are good, so try and catch them. Pastries are good. I'm writing this more in hopes for change than to bad-mouth, bc I really want to like this place- it had potential. So the stars are for the people and the pastries; the 'minus stars' are for their drinks and minimum credit card spend (yeah, pretty annoying to be suckered into buying something else you didn't want). read more

Came by for some after dinner coffe, their staff is super friendly, their prices are a little better than other coffe places but not by a lot. They have both to go cups and ceramic mugs, however u must ask for the mugs otherwide the dedault is paper cups. We noticed that most drinks already come with sugar added so make sure to ask before ordering, speciallg if u are watching your figure. Adound 9pm on wednesday was prerty empty and we had plabty tables to choose from. In my opinion the lighting was a little too bright and they could have it a little lower. They showcase pictures and part from neighbor artists which is pretty cool. The music is good and feel like an energing hipster spot. They have live music on weekends, that could be something ti check it out. They also serve some light meals and have beer and wine. read more

If you're looking for a 'cute' coffee shop, Espresso 77 would fall under that category.. but it didn't satisfy by 'cute morning coffee walk' at all. The inside is pretty dull, dark colors, not very welcoming. The barista took our orders and told us to wait outside, granted it's covid precaution.. but her tone was not it. My boyfriend and I just looked at each other and proceed to walk outside. My match latte was not even hot, it was warm. My bf ordered a cappuccino and he said he had better. Honestly Starbucks is around the block, so I'd just suggest to go there because better quality and friendly staff. read more

We made Expresso 77 our oasis for our recent visit with the grandbabes in Queens! It was our source of energy, nutrition and solace after rigorous days and nights on the streets of New York! The coffee, food, snacks and bonhomie revived us day after day, adding sustenance and bright communal vibes to our trip! read more

Finally got to try their Bavarian pretzels! So good! Will definitely be back for more!

This cafe is a mess! They don't go by the hours that are posted online. Every barista makes up their own rules whether you can pay with cash if the total is under $7.00 or if that's the minimum to pay with a card. And the food and drinks are overpriced. The owner needs to understand this is a neighborhood that's still being gentrified, not the west village! And don't get me started with the use of laptops. You're only allow to use it Monday through Friday at a designated table. Now, whenever they have live music during the week, you can't use your laptop. It's ridiculous. They're better off closing and moving to the city since they have so many rules and it's catered to the yuppies. And you're lucky if you get a cool barista. Some of them give poor customer service. You literally don't know what mood they're in depending on the day. Advice to the owner: Train your staff so they can all be on the same page. It reflects poorly on you. Make sure you update the website to not waste people's money and time. This cafe is not ideal for Jackson Heights! read more

When customers closed the door and windows, staff went back and opened them. I go to coffee locations to eat, relax, and talk. I don't go to bundle up shiver and freeze. Not worth going here unless you do take out. read more

When I moved to Jackson Heights, I used to think this was a place to meet with others and enjoy good coffee. But I don't know what's with the customer service attitude here, it just feels like they are always rude or not in a good mood. read more

The immediate area is in need of cafes such as Espresso 77. It is a nice break from Starbucks and enjoy some authentic coffee. My companion and I come here while strolling around the neighborhood for a summer morning coffee runs time to time. We tried a few items here: Honeybee Latte, Cappuccino, and Cold Brew. Honeybee Latte is a combination of honey and vanilla flavors. It was pretty good at first but it gets sweeter and sweeter as I take more sips. Perhaps, it was not mix very well. Cappuccino is acceptable and nicely crafted. Flavor of the coffee is really good but just a bit plain. Cold Brew is by far my favorite drink here. I love the richness of it since it was very well concentrated. For a neighborhood cafe, it is worth a while but perhaps a little smile on their faces can help them go a longer way. read more

Great neighborhood cafe. Bagels are from Bagel House and SO good! They have assorted baked goods as well as light dishes. Wine and beer and music in the evenings. Some outdoor seating. Great staff who took care through pandemic. Local art displayed. Nice to support this small, local family-run business. read more

Order drinks in person, because when you order a 12 ounce latte online, they only fill it up to three quarters of the cup. Or CHECK how far they fill it up BEFORE leaving the establishment. It is quite a gamble for them to send a customer a partially filled cup knowing they probably won't unwrap and open their order. Their pastries are purchased from other bakeries and cafes who know how to make them, so expect a markup. But I do applaud their no laptop policy, it is a small cafe, not your personal office space. Customers should have space to eat and drink, not wait for your digital nomad wannabe ass to hoard up seating. read more

We want to compliment the staff here ( Silvia, Celeste and Christopher ) and also Afzal , the owner . They are awesome ! Everyone is friendly , efficient and thoughtful . When we are here we feel like we are in Europe . The environment is very clean and comfortable and spacious and it is artfully decorated with the paintings by the owner . The coffee is delicious and we love the quiches and the wraps !! We will always come back here . read more

Poor customer service. Walked up to the register, there was a server/barista with 'blond' hair approaching the register, I was making eye contact and said hi... no respond, she was busy inputting data in the computer. Thinking she had difficulty logging in I waited. Once she was done she just left, no acknowledgement, nothing.... Just silence. I didn't have the chance to review their coffee I was so put off of by the lack of acknowledgment from staff. Will not return!!! read more

$11.50 + tax + tip for a large pretzel displayed along with the cookies and pastries. I was flabbergasted. Still in shock, I paid. Never again. read more

This place is a good local shop. The vibe is local coffee house with locals hanging out or working on their laptops. We actually have come here a few different times. We've come for some coffee and tea and really enjoyed them. Other times we've come for a pint of beer and a glass of wine and sat by the window. So far we tried the flatbread and a wrap and both had great flavor. When the weather is nice they have some benches to sit on outside. We'll keep coming back here again and again! read more

Espresso 77 has grown on me. They have a nice place. They have books for children and tables. I really like the chai iced tea they make. They seem to put a little more care into it then other places in the area, and by that, I mean every other place in the area. read more

Found this place during an afternoon walk with friends. Super cute on the outside with all the flowers, thats what caught my attention. I ordered the burrata on toast, it was like drizzled with olive oil and peppercorn? Delicious! Made fresh. Love thats a local small business and they're still open but a friendly, attentive service from the girl taking/bringing out the orders would be nice. read more

Still disappointed with the the pretentious attitude from the girl working this morning, I for one have banned this place, but my girlfriend said let's please go inside. So glad now she understands what I meant and wrote years ago. You would think during this crisis the counter girl would at least be kind and understanding when a person asks you a question. But no we got snippy short answers. Thanks for nothing I'll continue to visit the Starbucks! read more

1-star review based on rude staff and bad food. But mainly rude staff. I'm not sure if she was the owner / manager / employee (middle-aged female with dyed / fake blond hair), but the rude interaction started when she gave me my order. I had ordered a flat white and she called out a cortado. I'm not a coffee expert and didn't know that the two are similar (but apparently not exactly the same thing, according to Google search). But I'm not picky with coffee, so I accepted it. But she gave me the most condescending and contemptuous look, I'm assuming because I didn't recognize my own order. And completely dismissed my wanting to clarify and confirm that this was in fact my order. To make things worse, the pastry I ordered was as dry, bland, and full of hate, as this woman's face and mannerisms. At the end of the day, bad food I can look past and forgive as a one-off. Rude, condescending, and hateful service, not so much. I suggest that management should train their staff on customer service and appropriate behavior (in addition to the subtle differences between cortados and flat whites). And if this person is the owner/manager, then I guess it's her prerogative to continue being a bad reflection of this establishment. read more

Cozy coffee shop with a larger variety of hot/cold drinks and food. The chocolate banana smoothie was refreshing and not too sweet. Tuna melt was huge and very tasty, comes with a side salad. Not a heavy laptop user and just need to glance at it occasionally. But I have to sit with others to eat and keep a laptop open. read more

Only coffee shop you can chill in within the Jackson heights and surrounding area. It's a nice place to meet some one and have a casual drink. It doesn't get jammed packed like Starbucks or Cafe Bene around the area. - coffee, tea and espresso drinks have all been great - they serve beer and wine - they serve food and would say you can have a decent salad or sandwich for a lunch here - on weekend nights (post 9pm I believe) they have live music - punchcard is offered here - every 10 drinks (non alcoholic) gets you either a free coffee or tea - free Wi-Fi is offered; weekends are screen free - one negative is the minimum on the credit card is about $7 I believe read more

I came in around 3pm and immediately found a spot to settle down! They have friendly staff with a bright lighting interior. They also have outdoor sitting! They have a middle common table for laptop users (weekdays) and other seats are mostly people talking to one another or reading! They have food/drink/dessert/wine/beer and moreover, live music after 9pm from Thursday to Sunday! This kind of cafe is uncommon in Jackson Heights but I love my first impression of it! I ordered their special drink, The Chocolate kiss $5 with tax (half espresso and half dark choc, only available in small), it was DELICIOUS! I like it because it is not too sweet and has a slight bitter caffeine kick to it, just what I need on a lazy Friday evening to get through my study! The sound level is pretty tolerable and I was able to get work done! They also have water for customer and we are responsible for cleaning after ourselves. I would definitely come back to try their other special drink such as honey bee and would come for one of the live music night! Tips: have punch card and $7 min for CC read more

$4.75 for a chocolate scone. That is tough. Coffee is meh . Nice atmosphere and ham and cheese croissant.. just always left wanting more..

Ehhhh. Disappointed! Starting from the fact that it's a coffee shop you'd expect good coffee. This is a cafe ole.... coffee mug is covered in coffee stains. NO presentation what so ever and the coffee is so hot that I couldn't even enjoy the coffee. The coffee was also very watery. Ehhhh overall disappointed. The decor is cool. read more

My favorite cafe in Jackson heights. Not many options here. Very clean and cozy place. Good energy. Lots of good art on the walls, fresh flowers and comfortable chairs. Quite side street in busy area with nice outdoor shaded space. Good manu. Smoothies, sandwiches, salads, pastry. Good service, price and atmosphere. Good space if you need to bring your laptop and work. read more

My boyfriend and I were super excited to find a café that wasn't Starbucks and had options with alternative milks in the area. Walked in, very cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately, service wasn't the best. We weren't greeted as we entered (and it was slow). The cashier/barista got an attitude because I changed the size of my coffee. I saw she picked up a small cup and I changed my mind and just wanted a bigger size. As I noticed the attitude, I said "thank you for being so kind," she then smiled. I'm sure she noticed the attitude was not necessary at that point. Other than that coffee was good. High prices and pastries were cold. read more

Came here to work on a Friday. Ordered a coffee and a breakfast veggie wrap. The food came quickly and the coffee is a good roast! (Should've asked what it was). Love the wooden esthetic. The music playlist was an eclectic awesome mix. (They played the Visionesr's "Old Dirty Hip Hop" - which is a live band's instrumentals of classic hip hop songs. One of my favorites!) They also hold artistic exhibitions, you can find flyers on the wall in front of the bathroom. They have a special cocktail of the day (On Friday it was the Prosecco-punch - I didn't plan on missing out). Here's a few harsh truths about this wonderful place: anyone with a laptop has to sit at the center table - not terrible. But also, are no outlets for you to charge your devices. Okay, well maybe one, but it isn't at the. center table and therefor not for your laptop. No laptops allowed on weekends, but I'm not totally mad at that either. Worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

A coffee shop that aspires to be Gymboree. Full of screaming children and oblivious parents at all times. Staff members heavily police the use of laptops, but never ask parents to simmer down their children. They earn a star for a decent product, and for being the only successful coffee shop in a ten block radius. read more

Zero stars. The workers aren't nice and always have an attitude. Watch out for bitch faces. They take forever to make my matcha latte. Never made the effort to even put a foam on my latte common. Cheap about customers and the attitude kills it all. Unfortunately there are only a few cafes in the neighborhood. If you can go to another one go with that and I'd avoid this cafe at all time. read more

I love this place. The atmosphere, the staff (the owners, too!). Always a warm environment, and even amid the pandemic I made sure to order as often as I could to help out. The beverages are excellent and there's some food tented seating outside, too. It's a neighborhood destination beyond just food but in better times for music and other small events. And if you do visit, make sure to get the warm giant pretzel and of course the frosé. read more
