The pastries are consistently a highlight - always incredibly fresh, perfectly made, and so delicious. Beyond the amazing food, the employees are wonderfully friendly and do an excellent job keeping the entire place spotlessly clean. I adore the atmosphere here; it's so cozy and cute, making it the perfect spot whether I want to surf the web, catch up with a friend, dive into a book, or just enjoy a coffee. Speaking of enjoying things, their menu is fantastic! I recently had the waffles with strawberries, chocolate syrup, and tons of whipped cream - the portion was huge and every bite was absolutely mouthwatering. Bean & Leaves is a true gem! Please stop by if you're in the area, you can thank me later. *wink, wink* Oh, and Free Wifi is always a plus!

We hired Beans & Leaves to provide a coffee bar for our daughter's engagement brunch, and they were…read moreabsolutely fantastic. The morning of our event there was snow on the ground, and Danielle, one of the owners, personally called early to confirm everything was still on. She shoveled herself out and drove in from New Jersey to make sure the coffee bar was set up and ready. That level of dedication and professionalism truly stood out. The coffee bar itself was a huge hit. They offered espresso drinks, cappuccinos, flavored lattes, oat milk options, and iced selections -- all made fresh to order. The quality was excellent and truly café-level, not just standard event coffee. The iced lattes were especially popular with our guests. The setup was polished and professional, the baristas were friendly and efficient, and it added such a fun, elevated touch to the brunch. If you're planning a wedding event, shower, or special celebration, I highly recommend Beans & Leaves. Exceptional service, delicious coffee, and a team that genuinely cares about your event.

I looked around for a "no pets allowed" sign but didnt see one, so out of respect i picked her up and carried her in my arms as i went in to order. As soon as i got to the front a nasty male worker, regular build, middle eastern, told me the store doesn't allow pets. Nowhere on the website nor storefront does it say that. I would've been a quick 3 min transaction but he was being so unbelievably annoying and harassed me and my girlfriend, to the point he literally came and chased us out the store.

Prices are quite reasonable, making it accessible without compromising quality. The ambience is thoughtfully designed, reflecting a traditional Sri Lankan aesthetic that enhances the dining experience.

Julia and her mother, whom we had the pleasure of meeting during our visit (5/12/26), exemplify warmth and friendliness. Their courteous demeanor is balanced with a commendable level of professionalism, creating an inviting atmosphere that fosters connection and satisfaction. This restaurant is not just a meal; it's an experience that captures the essence of Sri Lankan culture in the heart of New York.

The inside is overwhelming full of statues and Sri Lankan decor. It wasn't too big inside but it was big enough despite all the decor. Hated all the meat options here. I saw this on a blog saying it's one of the best buffet options in the five borough. No thanks, I would not come here if you're a huge meat eater, as I am. I love curries, but the meat and meat curry options were just not the best. (Honestly think there was only 2 meat options vs like 6 vegetarian options.I saw the reviews said the vegetarian options were amazing, but I thought they were just okay, but definitely better than the meat options. The best item was probably the dessert. Can't say I loved the food here, but if you're vegetarian and love curries, you'd enjoy this place.

What looked like 2 slabs of brioche made into French toast with a berry topping and maple syrup was also just as good. 10/10. The service here was very polite and attentive to all of our needs throughout our visit. I would definitely like to come here again. Eat here!
