Noah WeissJanuary 26, 2016The voodoo child served hot is a frothy, sweet Vietnamese coffee. Tasty and reminiscent of Philz in SF.
kbd bApril 3, 2018Ladies and gentlemen, it's the 'Yesterday's bread' that lures me back again and again - this bag of Sustainable good ideas and goodies, calls me by my name!
Ekaterina DanilovaNovember 16, 2012Primes seasonal espresso is a must try!! Seriously the best coffee I've ever tried, so smooth with a hint if cherry to it. Overall this is a great spot!
Liset van der LaanMay 14, 2017Really nice coffee shop, great vibe, retro. Nice ice coffee. Apparently at night it becomes a bar.
Matthew CaldecuttNovember 4, 2017The Voodoo coffee is great hot and an espresso is a fine chaser. It's cozy here too.
Eric and Elaine OhlsonJanuary 17, 2019Everything is good at Sweetleaf and the staff is terrific. Very friendly and helpful.
Great coffee, cool tunes, chill vibe. However, despite having a dedicated "laptop room" there isn't a single outlet available to customers.- NissaNovember 18, 2016Love the ambiance and separation of the laptop room and non-laptop room. Good espresso, I had the Americano
Christina C.May 26, 2013The coffee is delicious. The baked good is good. The place is low-key & great. I love it here.
Brittany VanBibberJuly 5, 2013The atmosphere is unique and antique-y. The coffee is great and the baked goods are to die for. Definitely recommend stopping by.
Emel SüslüApril 21, 2018Everytings is perfect except one barista, he is so rude, I wanted a fork and he throwed it to me!
George QuestMarch 31, 2013Good coffee, nice sweets, awesome back room with a turntable where u can play ur own records. Highly recommended neighbourhood spot.
JenKuduSeptember 25, 2013Pick up a bag of coffee to take home. Sometimes can be a little too "hip", so swing down to their 2nd location for a little more space.
Mark HuijnenSeptember 25, 2013Stop by after you've had your dose of MOMA PS1 or 5Pointz graffiti art. This place has soul, serves mean coffee and has wifi.
Nathan TabakJuly 13, 2013Strawberry iced tea (black tea shaken with strawberry puree) is a bit pricy at $4.25, but incredibly delicious and refreshing.
Get the cheddar scallion cornbread muffin and iced coffee for breakfast!
Serious EatsMarch 6, 2013This original, expanded location maintains a darling, factory-salvaged common table dedicated to the laptop crowd exclusively.
Brew of choice: Stumptown Coffee. Relax with a book, put on a record in the back, plug into the laptop table, but whatever you do, don't leave without a Cinnamon Puff.
theaSeptember 19, 2015Love the decaying Victorian living room feel. Obviously the coffee is amazing but so are the blueberry muffins.
If you like sugar and apple cider, the apple cider doughnut holes are delicious, even for $1.
Pema ChodenJanuary 20, 2020Pastries are cheap and home made. Their coffee would be in my top 10 list for sure!
My all time fave coffee!!! Atmosphere and people are awesome! Take advantage of the "Your 10th Drink is on Us" punch card!
Mitchell BartoloMarch 29, 2017As an Australian travelling around the States it was difficult to find a latte as good as the ones back home. Until I found Sweetleaf.
Great coffee selection, the pastries are absolutely amazing. Especially the cinnamon doughnut holes.
- I'm a coffee snob and this passes the test. voodoo child and rocket fuel is out of this world!
NetsirkNovember 17, 2015Order VooDoo Child if you enjoy a nice Vietnamese iced coffee and pair with a dessert.
Amaya C.December 14, 2012amazing coffee and the pumpkin donut holes are delightful. dont forget--no laptops anywhere but the laptop room!
Credit/debit card minimum is pretty low - $5 or something.
Take the time to get to know your baristas! They are awesome fun people!! DONT FORGET TO TIP!!!
Lori LuoOctober 27, 2014Cash Only! Seating is limited, but you'll find the typical line up of caffeinated drinks and pastries.
Killer coffee and they make their own baked goods. No sandwiches or real food though
Dana PadillaMarch 31, 2013Great late spot. Bartenders are seriously 'mixologist'. Fantastic night. Try the East LA fizz.
Tina AmirthaAugust 23, 2012Most people order to go, but it's best to stay, so you can talk to the bar guy and listen to Philip Glass.
Alice ChaoApril 11, 2015The Voodoo Child is sweet deliciousness. It's very sweet though, so if you don't like sugar, get something else.
If you're looking for a place to work on your laptop- this place isn't ideal. They have a designated 'laptop room' without any plugs.
TenantKing.comJune 20, 2014If you're into music, Sweetleaf is a great place to relax with a coffee in hand whilst browsing through the records.
Be sure to check out the music room in the back complete with a turntable and plenty of Aretha vinyl- Best brewed coffee (Stumptown) in Long Island City. Whether reading the newspaper in the front or playing a record in the back, Sweetleaf is the perfect place to check in and relax.
Pastries are delicious, jumbo coffee size great for early mornings
Nick CohenSeptember 23, 2015Trendy coffee shop perfect for catching up with old and new friends alike
I haven’t tried the hot Voodoo Child so that’s what I’m looking forward to this winter!!
Rightfully known for excellent coffee, but their carrot cake is what makes the trip to Queens worthwhile!
