I needed to find a cafe nearby to get some work done and found Grey Cafe through Google. I cross-checked Yelp and decided to stop by since several reviews mentioned it was a good place to work. When I arrived, there were plenty of people sitting at tables with their laptops out. There are also additional tables and couches toward the back, up a flight of stairs. I got a large iced coffee, which was solid and fairly priced. I found an open table and was able to get some work done with good WiFi. I'm not from the area, but I would definitely come back. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for a cafe to get some work done. * 4.5 stars * Outdoor seating available * Metered street parking * Gender-neutral restroom - check to see if the door is actually locked. The sign said it was in use, so I waited a few minutes before checking... turns out it was open. read more

Cute cafe with plenty of seating, outlets, and group seating areas. They had a bathroom and extensive menu. I loved the vibe and how it felt like a great space where you could spend a lot of time. My drink was good but not extremely memorable. I'd return again but wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

I was on my way to Jersey & stop by queens for a quick coffee. Came across Grey Cafe & wow I was impressed. The ambiance was super chill & laid back. It was pretty spacious, they have two sections for you to sit & get some work done. I love the aesthetic of the coffee shop. Service was amazing, they were so friendly & they gave great customer service. They barista was also super sweet & told me to try my coffee, if I didn't like it they were able to re make it for me. Which was so sweet for him to do, the drink came out perfect though! My order was an ice caramel macchiato, with oatmilk & cold foam. It tasted so good, it wasn't sweet at all which I loved. The rich coffee flavor was delicious. Overall 10/10. FYI - Parking can be a little hectic around this! read more

What jumped out at me the moment I stepped into GREY Cafe, is the diversity of people I saw sitting quietly on their laptops as well as the ones waiting in line to place orders. The scene told me this was a safe space to be, get some work done, and the food/drinks must have been good enough to attract people of different backgrounds. With that out of the way, here's my actual review. I got a matcha latte with coconut milk and a brownie. I loved the variety of non-dairy options they had for milks (as well as snacks)! They used health conscious brands so I could see that some real thought was put into the offerings. The matcha tasted like real matcha and had no clumps! The temperature was just right, hot but not scalding where you'd have to wait a while before drinking. They have raw brown sugar packets if you want to sweeten the drinks yourself. The brownie was soft, chocolatey, and not overly sweet. They offer to warm it up if you like. They have a restroom towards the back. The staff were all friendly and also diverse! 9.5/10 all around experience. This was a very pleasant surprise and I will definitely come back to try more things! read more

I have ordered from this establishment via Grubhub at least 5 times to date. Other similar stores might be better on occasion. That said, this is clearly the most consistent place to order. I have been very pleased with their coffee offerings in particular. Their high rating really is well deserved. read more

I can't believe I've never given this place a review. My job literally orders from here at least once a week. They got the best espresso and matcha drinks. My favorite is the Brown Sugar Oat Freddo. I love when I can taste the roastiness of the beans. I've also had their homemade puddings (all the flavors are delicious) and the macaroons. Today prompted my review. I was off work and got to hangout in the space with some friends. Gorgeous day out. I like their seating inside and out! The espresso machine is also super cute with words of positivity on post it's. Lifted my day! read more

GREY Cafe - Brown Sugar Freddo with Oat Milk and matcha macaroon - Cafes Near Me - Flushing, New York

Good service and the espresso drinks are solid. You can have your laptop on and WiFi is great. They have pastries and sandwiches. It's chill to work here. Outdoor seating is available but it's still too cold during March. I'll be nice to seat outside when getting warmer. It gets busy at the afternoon so you might not find a seat. They have points card or you can also collect your points with your phone number. read more

Very friendly staff, order is always correct, love the variety of options available and the coffee is always smooth

First thing I noticed, and you can tell my age by this comment, is though they had music on, it was not any kind of loud rap or heavy bass music and it was so refreshing. Five stars for just this alone haha! The Cafe was packed at 9pm on a Saturday night. The woman behind the counter were friendly and helpful and the man who made my drinks was quick and efficient.. I liked that they did not have an extensive menu which makes things easier when deciding, and it's great that they also had sandwiches along side muffins, cake slices etc. A large iced mocha frappe, chicken salad sandwich, large hot cappuccino and a double chocolate chip muffin cost ~ $30, which is in line with prices in the area. They are opened into 11p, a little later than most cafes which close around 10p. Good experience overall. read more

This place is always filled with students no matter what time and day...I don't get it. I've been here a few times now and their signature Grey Foam Latte (latte with black sesame foam) is usually my go-to, though it's pretty heavy but so worth coming for. I've only come during warmer months so haven't experienced the hassle of finding a seat indoors since I sit outside, though without a fail, the seats are usually filled up by students on their laptops in masses. They have extensive seating outside with a built outdoor seating area, though the bus stop in front can be super distracting and unpleasant to breathe. Cold brew is also nice and bold for a caffeine boost. Even though it's deep out in Queens, their prices are on the expensive side and you can expect to pay close to $10 for an iced drink with some milk variation. read more

Place has multiple room to chill and enjoy you drinks. There is a section that is only for 4+ ppl, there is the common area with lots of seating, there are couple of tables for two outside the coffee shop, and there is a booth for large outdoor seating with a blowing fan so that people dont die of the heat The coffee was alright but worth it since i came here to chill and enjoy the free wifi, there is free wifi btw! Definitely coming here in the future to chill and enjoy more the ambiance and the free wifi : ) read more

Comfortable Vibe, Great Coffee, and a Perfect Spot to Work or Chill I visited Grey Café in Flushing today with my son. I originally stopped in just to use the restroom, but I decided to buy a cup of coffee--and I'm really glad I did. The coffee was smooth and satisfying, and the entire space had a relaxed and welcoming vibe. What stood out most was the layout--plenty of cozy sofas and soft lighting, making it feel more like a lounge than a typical café. It was packed with people on laptops, clearly taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi and the comfortable seating to get some work done or just unwind. It seems like a great place to focus or even have a casual meeting. I didn't get to try the food, but I did notice a variety of fresh-looking pastries and croissants behind the counter. Everything looked delicious, and I'm definitely planning to come back to try something from the menu next time. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to work or just a relaxing environment to sip your coffee, Grey Café is worth a visit. read more

Keepin it real out here in Flushing / Auburndale Been going to this spot since they were Browny. The vibe and the layout changed a lot but it's still a good reliable spot to get work done. The wifi were pretty bad at one point and looks like they've fixed it since then. The drinks are pretty decent with new drink options constantly. 2 bathrooms, good wifi, ok amount of outlets, music option is interesting at times, but overall solid solid cafe read more

Rating : 3.5 I don't remember how I found this Grey cafe but I went there the first time in 2022. This place is not like the cafe that I imagined it would be. It seems more like a cafe for youngsters to hang out and study. There are many tables and seats inside and it's always full of people. It makes me feel like I'm in a cafe inside a college/campus lol. I only go for their puddings and some pastries. My favorite is Tiramisu puddings and almond croissants. They are so good. Matcha puddings are a hit or miss. Sometimes they are good and other times they're too sweet. Staff are attentive and polite. I like it when they offer a promotion for gift cards. I don't know if they always offer that but if they do, make sure you get it because it's a good deal. Note: I went there recently and noticed that the pudding portion got smaller and the price of pastries got higher. read more

Super cute and cozy cafe, lots of seating. Quick service. Limited food menu. I tried the signature grey foam latte which is an iced latte topped with black sesame foam, it was very good. Foam was sweet and tasty. Macarons are 6 for $18, we got a variety, all were good. My favorites were the hazelnut & lavender. Pasty menu is very limited, wish the had more options. Overall a great spot for coffee, I would recommend for a coffee date! read more

Always busy and rightfully so. Great selection of drinks and bakery items. There is enough space for everyone but it's more crowded around the front counter. lced Black Sesame Latte 7/10 Good sesame flavor. The ice and milk would be better if it were creamier. kinda water down the flavor though. Cappuccino 7/10 The texture is perfect I'm just not a fan of the beans. For the coffee snobs: They use a La Marzocco machine for the espresso. The beans taste like a light roast. Low acidity. Slightly nutty flavor. read more

There are a ton of good cafes in this general area and GREY cafe is one you could easily miss and pass by. It doesn't help that finding parking here is pretty tricky, even around the residential areas away from Northern. Personally, one thing that makes this place worth a visit is their amazing puddings! I've tried all three: banana, earl grey, and matcha, and they're all pretty delicious. Banana is probably my favorite and I'm happy to say that I've yet to have purchased a bad or old batch (knock on wood). Too bad my job has kept me away from my old hometown, I'm craving some pudding right now! read more

I usually go for an iced americano black but I wanted something different and got the iced mocha frappe. It hit perfectly. A go to study spot for sure read more

Amazing vibes inside. Lots of tables both inside and outdoors so it's great for a larger group and individually. The cashier that took my order was very nice. I got an iced matcha and they asked if I wanted it unsweetened or sweetened which I thought was great because I hate it when I want an unsweetened latte and it's sweet. I got an unsweetened iced matcha latte with oat milk which was a little over 8 dollars, which is kinda insane... But it was one of the best matchas I've had from a coffee shop. The banana pudding was also really good and I would recommend. read more

GREY CAFE ON!TOP! I absolutely adore this place. If I didn't live 1.5hrs away, I'd practically be crashing here every other day. There's a huge amount of seating with numerous outlets including a 2nd floor that's a little more intimate, private, accommodating larger parties. When you enter, you're automatically greeted with a study galore where everyone is on their laptops and/or nose in their books. Talk about a motivation boost! Not only this, Grey has a wide menu ranging from great coffee, matcha, sandwiches, baked goods from Balthazar, and their *chefs kiss* homemade puddings. Love love love!!! read more

Still one of my favorite coffee shops, but I've spent more time there as of late to study. It is a POPULAR study spot! There's plenty of seating but it can be hard to find a spot! There is an area for 4+ people, I usually only come here alone or with one other person but it is nice they have that as an option. Otherwise, there are plenty of tables intended for 2 people in the main area. There is ample seating outdoors as well, they have two tented areas as well. There's a decent amount of outlets available in the main cafe area, but only if you're sitting at the perimeter. The wifi is also great, no issues there. As far as drinks go - the hazelnut latte with oat milk remains my favorite hazelnut latte... maybe even of all time. Still rating a 5/5! I don't know what's so good about it but whatever they're doing is right. I have tried a few more drinks: Matcha latte - 4.5/5 - my matcha latte was rich and fresh, I was pleased! seems like good quality matcha, although I'm not an expert but it was good for my taste. Grey tea latte - 3.5/5 - a good option if you just want a small caffeine boost Misugaru latte - 4/5 - has some depth to it, a thicker latte, nutty, malty Strawberry lemonade - 1/5 - kind of hated this. the lemonade is a little carbonated, which I think is the main reason I didn't like it. It just didn't hit the spot for me. They also still have a healthcare worker discount, which is useful for me :) read more

TLDR: THE cutest cafe I've ever been to in the heart of Queens! 13/10 for cafe vibes and service! If you are looking for a spot to be productive and socialize, this is the perfect place... The snacks are a bit pricey (PB&J is $5) but the ambiance makes up for it! Before you even walk in, you can tell from the exterior that it's a popular spot. There are so many cute outdoor covered spaces for you to be productive or chill with your friends. On the inside, there are sooo many coworking spaces! There's even a section upstairs for groups of 4 or more - this space includes a couch and a ton of other unique nooks :) I love the separation because it helps to control the noise level. If you want a quiet space, bring headphones. There were so many college students but that's what I loved because I felt like it was a safe space to be productive! There are so many sweet and practical snacks and bites like a PB&J, chocolate chip muffin, and mango smoothie! A must-visit spot in the heart of Queens that you can't miss out on! read more

I tried this cafe for a first date but I wish we met somewhere else. It was packed with only 2 high top wooden seats left. It was hot outside and I don't think any AC or fan was on. With everyone on top of each other it was very uncomfortable. I was also diagnosed with a influenza and type of flu after visiting. read more

Great place to have an after dinner coffee, tea, or a dessert and hang out! If you get a chance, try their Earl Gray pudding. It's quite filling, and the cup is substantial size, usually what you'd see oatmeal served in, so share with a friend! They have a great offering of different coffees and teas. You can also try lattes, sandwiches or even an affogado ice cream with a splash of espresso. Great seating for couples, and for groups. Even Singletons who want to come to their work can bring their laptop and use the wi-fi. Definitely coming back! read more

Came here to have some quiet time and focus. It has a school vibe because all you see are school/college kids and very few adults with their heads buried in laptops. They have many outlets along the walls for you to plug up your electronics. There is an upstairs for those that are on a group of 4 or more. The Cafe itself is a little pricey (more than Starbucks) but I think it's fair since most of the kids are using their electricity for hours at a time and probably only buy a limited amount of things. It was really busy even late into the evening in the middle of the week so space can be limited. Overall it's a cool spot with a college study vibe. read more

The coffee is great- but the banana pudding??!!! Whoa, it's amazing. If I was about to die and that banana pudding was my last meal, I'd be satisfied. It's a 10/10 and then some. The cafe itself is super cute, decor is nice, baristas are attentive, ample seating, lots of people on their laptops and fairly quiet considering the number of people.. I'll be back for more pudding soon. If you like banana pudding, you have to go here- it's a must do. read more

Great cafe with outdoor seating! Kyoto cold brew is robust and strong. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

Grey Cafe is a super cute and spacious spot for snacks, food, and most importantly, coffee. The staff is very nice as well and accommodating to what you're looking for. I was eager to try their mushroom coffee but unfortunately they were sold out of it so I opted for a drink with black sesame (forgot the exact name). It was really good and not super pricey either. I would definitely go back. read more

We were looking for a cafe after attending a standup comedy show and we picked this as it closes later that the others in the neighborhood. We were surprised that the place was full packed when we walked in on a late hour of the night. Both floors were occupied mostly by I think students- age coffee drinkers who during the visit were all glued with their laptops. We still decided to stay and went to the covered outdoor patio. Loved how our order was taken seriously by asking so many questions like " what kind of coffee , with what kind of sugar or not , what milk do you want to add, do you want a warmed up or room temp desserts " etc. Order is served quick with a great smile from the server. Outdoor patio is covered and with portable heater. Here we felt we had a privacy. I liked the backstage garden- instagramable worthy! read more

Service was really good, 4 stars especially to the guy that made the gelato (solato). There was a special machine just to make it. I totally recommend the hazelnut flavor. The visit overall was underwhelming. Some of the goodies on display didn't look too appealing and likely because it was end of day, 9pm on a Thursday, still. A little reorganization yes, but a sad discount display and a little too much to look at, all at once. (Note: 50% off baked goods only after 8pm). I was a little confused when I saw the brand name macarons vs their in house displayed macarons. So which one were you selling? And if it was the branded ones, it didn't look right. Some sort of glaze was on each macaron in the case. Odd looking. The establishment overall is very clean and lots of patrons hanging out. I saw people working on their laptops. I saw groups just chilling. The place gets points for atmosphere and layout. Particularly the outdoor spaces. Cozy and nicely put together. Separate areas so you have some sense of privacy and yet still out in the open air. Pretty decor and a chill place overall. Had a flat white as my drink of choice but it didn't taste right. Couldn't be bothered to fix it as I was here on a drive by. read more

I love that this cafe closes at 11 pm even though i don't stay up or be there that late. But it's nice to have a late cafe nearby. We ordered: matcha frappe with oat milk Grapefruit ade Açaí bowl Turkey sandwich Total was a little of $39, which is not bad. Definitely coming back to try out more items. It has extra space outside and inside, there is a separate space if you have a party of 4 or more! read more

One of our favorite local spots for a quick pick-me-up, especially during the warmer months when we indulge in their delectable variety of bingsoos. Each and every flavor is delicious and the perfect way to cool down. They also have an assortment of ready-made pastries, bottled and canned beverages, and a couple of different sandwiche options. Their coffee drinks are also good. It can get very crowded inside with young folks camping out and on their laptops. Outdoor seating is also great on comfortable days, and you can car- and people-watch along the ever busy Northern Blvd. Their staffers are generally nice and work pretty quickly but not hastily. read more

Decided to revisit Grey's cafe after a while and got their Açaí bowl. It is perfectly sweet and very filling but this time around, there was more granola than I previously remembered.

So much seating! There's the indoor seating, indoor group seating by reservation, outdoor seating, and outdoor seating in the little sheds. All areas are beautifully decorated. I would pass by this cafe every week, finally gave it a try. The indoor cafe seating is fully packed. Almost everyone has a laptop with them to study or work with. Chaga coffee in almond milk, iced 5/5 Hot green tea 5/5 plenty of green tea teabags to choose from that are not generic Street parking is close to impossible to find. Music is a little loud. That's the only downside. If it weren't for the noise level, this cafe would be perfect to work in. Try the chaga coffee - if you have a sweet tooth for coffee, the chaga brings out the coffee flavor. It's so good. I'll have to come back to try their house made puddings! read more
