We got the Iced Freddo Cappuccino which was beautifully layered with strong espresso and creamy top layer. It could've used some slight sweetness but once it was well mixed, it tasted better. The Iced Banana Oat Latte was slightly disappointing because the banana was sour/bitter. I don't know if it was not as fresh or if that happened once it mixed with the espresso but it didn't come together well. It was creamy and the espresso was good but the bitter aftertaste made it unpleasant to finish. Decent try if you're looking for a cute cafe in the area!

This is a coffee place that can't make decent coffee. I asked for a Greek Freddo Espresso and it…read morewas awful. It tasted like a sour royal. I threw $4.80 in the trash. The spinach pie is nothing special and costs $5.00. Youre better off going to Titan across the street for a better Freddo and spinach pie. This place won't last much.

The air conditioning felt good on this sweltering day, and they had a World Cup match on. Ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and four iced Vietnamese coffees. There was only one person working so she was filling my order while taking two other orders, but she handled the line well and was very friendly. The iced Vietnamese coffee was sweet, creamy, and delicious. My sister who had the iced matcha latte said it was refreshing with the right amount of sweetness. I would love to go back to try some of their food and other drinks.

One fair warning, the food is put together by one person with care. It's not something that she bangs out quickly. If you need it fast, maybe skip. If you don't mind a small wait, then it's worth it

I would go more for the space to work and the aesthetic to see people and not necessarily for the drinks or food. Got the tiramisu latte which was very aesthetic but the coffee was not very strong at all. The fries were also good but again, nothing crazy standout. Prices are OK but I've paid these prices for better coffee.

This place is attached with a laundry, so it's a nice place to grab a bite or a drink when your clothes are in the machine.

I haven't tried the food but it looked good. Extensive drink menu. I had the Rooh Afza matcha, the rose syrup was nice but not overpowering and the matcha was a nice green color, I definitely felt the caffeine kick! Our group of four stayed for a while to chat so I went up to buy the last banana pudding. The woman working took it in the back to add more fresh banana on top and we all enjoyed splitting it. They have a solid range of desserts and pastries on display. There's $2.50 cucumber tea sandwiches or Lipton tea with lemon if you're looking to be a very cheap date. It's hard for a cafe to compete with the pink chai down the block when I'm going out of my way to come to this part of the neighborhood, but for somewhere to work, read or hang with a friend I would definitely choose First Cup, and I will be back for more banana pudding and another fun latte.

First thought: Zohran should definitely come here…read more It's a new cafe so I wanted to review it before I even attempt to decipher my long list of places still waiting for reviews lol I tried the gulab jamun latte, like a lot of other customers (it clearly seems like a popular pick, and for good reason). It was so good, and you can actually taste the spices, especially the cardamom. Super flavorful latte, highly recommend!! The space itself is also really nice: well-decorated, clean, and spacious. There's Wi-Fi and outlets, so it's a great spot to work or study. They've got about five tables total, including tables that seat up to four. The view is nice too, since you're looking out onto the street and can watch people walk by. They also seem to have a solid variety of pastries and food items, so definitely check those out. Like another Yelper mentioned, this really feels like a place where the owner put a lot of thought and care into everything.

I had originally planned to get breakfast somewhere else but I'm glad I stopped here. I need coffee in the morning to feel alert and human so I got some. I ordered the French breakfast croissant and a scone from the bakery case to eat on the train later. There was a fair amount of seating available and there were outlets, which I am always looking for. Because I had my suitcase I noticed right away that the space is very narrow. They also have a time limit on seating due to space concerns which is not uncommon for NYC. I didn't run into any issues, just a consideration. My coffee and breakfast croissant were delicious. The croissant was flaky and buttery and the eggs and mushrooms complemented the flavor, and the little salad on the side added some freshness. The space was sunny and there was art on display with an explanatory plaque. The bathroom was papered with newsprint including French recipes I wanted to write down. Long Island City was a convenient place to stay when I was visiting and I wanted to explore the neighborhood more than I did, so I'm glad I found Cafe Coco before I left.

The one drawback is their seating policy: you're limited to 30 minutes unless you order something additional. A staff member actually came over to let me know they monitor table times & enforce this rule. I was just trying to relax with a book over my coffee, so it did make me feel a little rushed.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 4…read moreDecor: 1 Value: 6 Overall: 4 I have always found this place to be average in every way. However, my most recent experience made me want to update my previous review. First of all, we were seated by the staircase leading to the bathroom in the basement. Every time someone went down the stairs, there was a terrible smell that came up through the dining room. When I finally use the dirty bathroom, I realized that the urinals don't have a flusher at all, hence the horrible stench. This is not acceptable. We wanted to move at first. However, there were many tables still not cleaned nearby, with lots of crumbs on the floor, which forced us to stay put. As for service, the female server we had said that she couldn't give any recommendations because she's only tried one piece of cake during her six months working there. At the same time, she seemed distant and occupied. I asked for help from a different waiter in the end because she wasn't paying attention. On the other hand, I finally found a combination of items I like at this cafe. That would be their Pistachio Paris Brest with a cup of cappuccino. Toffee cake was a bit sweet, though not bad. Regardless, nothing is good enough for me to come back regularly.
