It's a really cool spot that I've frequented with their variety of restaurants. This particular day I wanted to take a power walk and enjoy a protein packed breakfast. So I headed down to the Americano cafe. It was my first time visiting This restaurant and I couldn't understand why?? lol. This place has such a cool laid back vibe. Reminded me of a cafe in Puerto Rico in isla verde. There are comfy chairs to sit and perhaps do some flex work. It has an outdoor and indoor area. And the food was really good. I had the bacon and eggs with avocado and small salad on the side. I also had the macha lata lata. So good. I will for sure be back to chill and grab a wrap! You should too!!

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with kindness and warmth by the owner, a lovely Montenegrin-Albanian woman who runs this restaurant with genuine pride and heart. You can feel her touch in everything, from the cozy lighting to the soft music playing in the background. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was layered with flavor, balance, and soul. You can tell this is real Mediterranean cuisine, made by someone who truly loves what she does. The staff was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was calm and comforting, and everything about the evening felt genuine. This is more than a restaurant. It's a place built on tradition, care, and love. Likseva and I will absolutely be coming back soon to visit the owner again and enjoy another beautiful dinner together. As a Marine Corps Colonel who has traveled and dined all over the world, I can say that Cafe Latte is a place that stands out in every way. Highly recommended. #CafeLatte #StatenIsland #MediterraneanCuisine #HiddenGem #MarineCorpsColonelApproved #BrooklynToStatenIsland #AlbanianHospitality #MontenegrinSpirit #LiksevaAndMark "Me zemër e me shpirt" - with heart and soul

This was our first time and we tried the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich, the KOVA Breakfast, and spicy fries. We both asked for our eggs to be cooked medium and they were probably the closest to over medium we've ever received at a restaurant! Most of the time, they end up coming out over easy, so this shows their attention to detail. The food was absolutely delicious. We also tried an iced matcha and iced lavender mocha coffee, both of which were very good. The inside of this place is very clean and chic. I also enjoyed the coffee-shop-type background music they play. We are not from the area, but if we are back in the area, we will definitely be stopping by for another visit.

Was there ever a Cafe 1668 in Stapleton in the early teens? I can't believe this isn't a mistake as…read morethere was such a place I think on Greenwich St in Tribeca. The photos look like they could be from there, but maybe way back in the most vital days of NYC Stapleton was on the map with such a trendy place. One can only hope someone has such a vision and starts something like this here! What an inspiration. Meanwhile for now this remains a mystery, perhaps an homage to a bygone era, or just a fantasy. We will never know.

Setting (5/5): the interior of this place is simple and chic with a focus on sheep. There is a good amount of seating and tables that can fit four comfortably. If you need chill study vibes, I would definitely check this place out. Drinks (5/5): I got the mocha and really enjoyed it! It had a rich, but not too sweet chocolate taste and it wasn't bitter. The little latte design on top was also a nice touch. And I think that summary of their coffee being rich and slightly sweet is reflective of their other drinks too (my friend got the Americano and agreed that it had a natural sweet taste too it). Also I will say their music choices are great and it's not too noisy here so you can have a nice chat or really dive deep into a book or email here.
