Well, WAS is the key word. My husband gave it 3 star because of the mission of the Cafe, but the food he would give a 2. We ordered the cheese grits bowl for pickup. We got a container of cheese grits- okay but they needed salt and more cheese. A container of scrambled eggs cooked soft like we asked but they also needed salt, and a container with 2 sausage patties (which were flavorless). We also got a side of biscuits. Dry, seemed like the kind in a can- with no butter or honey, just a bunch of ketchup! My husband saw the banana pudding in the mason jar- so he added that to our order. $8. He went back in because he didn't see it. They said it was in a container. He returned and it was in there- in a very tiny container barely filled halfway- looking nothing like the one in the restaurant, and it wasn't that good, the bananas weren't ripe, and still hard. I'm thankful for the mission, so we may give it another try but maybe eating in is the way to go- we won't do takeout again!

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 start to finish, from the ambiance to the food, this is a good spot for that special celebration. We had their pre-fixed dinner menu - I loved their hot antipasto, my wife loved their stuffed clams. Everything was incredible. Their seafood pasta was what the doctor ordered, and the Italian cheesecake was on point. My wife really enjoyed her tiramisu also. Combine all that with great wine, solid coffee, and extremely attentive staff (my water was never less than half full), and you have an incredible spot on your hands.

The portions were decent sizes too. The chef came out to check that the orders were enjoyable. Very professional. But what I appreciated most was the excellent and attentive staff that were so understanding of my 2 year and his shenanigans. They brought us games to keep him busy, and they were very understanding about his behavior. They let us take up a 4 person table so he had space to get up and move around (within reason). Very family-friendly establishment. So grateful and will be returning!

I took some days to let my experience simmer and truly give you a fair take on this cafe…read more I was there on a Saturday for a late breakfast date with my wife-it was on what seemed not too busy Memorial Day weekend. As my wife and I entered the cafe, we were exposed to the beautifully exposed brick, the warmth of wood all around and well appointed finishing touches. The coffee bar was gorgeous and the ambience was warm and inviting (big ++ on the games on the shelf). Both rooms were nicely decorated with lots of space (they also have a patio) definitely a 5 out of 5 on the decor and look! Our order consisted of the Ultimate sandwich for me-it was really delicious sausage, bacon, arugula, runny-egg w/ Aioli on a brioche bun that was buttery, it was well balanced with lots of flavor, paired with their drip coffee (reg cup of coffee) which was an about 6oz cup...they call it a large as stated on their menu but feels more like a small cup (by the way, surcharge on the bit of milk which they pour in). Coffee was smooth but small and no refills-kind of had my head scratching, but it is a cafe I guess that is the norm. My wife had the breakfast plate (scrambled eggs, homes fries and sausage. Home fries were very crunchy and flavorful, sausage had tons of flavor as well , the egg was season well, but the plate came with no bread of any kind, I wish they would pair it with a baked good to tie it all together. She tried their iced Tiramisu latte but it was under-whelming-sorry guys but it did lacked flavor for a specialty item, it seemed to only have chocolate syrup-nothing really that would say Tiramisu, like cold foam, no cinnamon, not even the cookie that is on their Insta account. Food overall was a 4 out of 5 only because of the coffee was subpar. The service, and here is where I think they really need help. If you are in the service industry, you really need to bring your game with every customer that comes through your doors, not just your regulars. Your service and attention to detail will bring the whole experience to another level. Unfortunately, from the bar, to the servers, they lacked skills that comes with experience. **Tips-train staff to be hospitable , and don't surcharge items (increase the price by buck or 2 to even out the cost). Would I give it another try-yes, would I recommend-yes.

The feta and spinach pastry, tuna salad and egg salad croissant were all very flavorful, but they overly light with the filling, where the ratio between the pastry and the filling were way too imbalanced (which you can easily see in the photos). For how much potential they have, if they add just a bit more filling to them they can easily become one of the top cafes in all of Staten Island. I hope they take this to heart for I really want them to do well and continue to become successful! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

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!

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.
