TenantKing.comFebruary 3, 2015One of TK's favorite hang out spots! Rustic-steampunk vibe and comfy seats- if you are looking for a place with delicious cocktails and bartenders who takes their craft seriously- this is it!
- Best cocktails in the hood and less crowded than sister bar Dutch Kills. The Frantic Atlantic is an awesome off-menu summer cocktail made with pisco, st germain, grapefruit and lime!
Kelsey PaigeJuly 30, 2018Had the pleasure of enjoying a drink here Saturday. One of the specials was a Banana Kentucky Mule and OH MY was it the best cocktail ever. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!
"You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer." - Frank Zappa
John BurkeJuly 5, 2015This is really two places: during the day, it's a cozy little coffee shop with plenty of room to hang out. At night, it turns into quite the gastropub/speakeasy. The bartenders are great.
Raj ChakrabortyJanuary 3, 2022Excellent coffee shop serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. Not your typical restaurant but a perfect hangout place to spend hours working, reading or simply browsing your phone
GregDecember 9, 2017Great coffee, however it's atmosphere lately had been awful pumping random trendy music with a LOUD bass so that you can barely hold conversation or sit an enjoy the coffee. Sounds like an H&M inside
Melissa BauerJanuary 31, 2016Drinks are AMAZING. The incredibly talented bartender Jonathan is brilliant. His drinks were outstanding. Each one delicious, never better than another, but equally fantastic with different flavors.
The best cocktails and the best coffee in LIC. Spiked hot chocolate is outstanding!
Killer americanos. If you see the ham and Gruyere croissant get it, they move fast. Cocktails are good and reasonably price ever since they cut ties with the Dutch Kills guys.
Demetrius BagleyJune 17, 2016"They have this really delicious vegan muffin...it's sort of like cornbread, but better. There's also a vegan brownie." -from VoNY - Vegans of New York FB group
Evan StaffJanuary 8, 2015Roasting your own is a tricky business, but this coffee really blew me away. It wasn't even pourover and is still one of the best I've had in NYC. Amazing music and space as well.
Block to Block NYCSeptember 27, 2015We went to Sweetleaf for happy hour--$6 wines, $5 beers. Chill atmosphere. They had a basket of games that kept us entertained.
Jean 💜May 29, 2015Rocket Fuel is worth the resulting sleepless night. The only con is that it's hard to savor. Top half is gone in 60 seconds more or less.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJanuary 12, 2015Great place to hang. Cool music, fun staff. Great coffe, chai tea - the hot chocolate is way too sweet!!!
Jeff BowenOctober 10, 2017The Rocket Fuel is delicious. Found an outlet at the high tables by the windows. Have to enter an email address to connect to the Wi-Fi but it can be fake. No email with a link to click or anything.
BEST experience! The golden something tea was ammmmazing! The cookie delicious, all the staff stellar! Totally coming here every Tuesday. :D
- TenantKing.comJune 20, 2014Try the Kona Swizzle if you're a coffee addict and are looking for an alcoholic beverage to get you through your night. This is the place to go to find a piece of Williamsburg in LIC.
Ryan DeNardoNovember 14, 2014Coffee shop by day, mixologist style bar by night. Seriously, this bartender chips his own ice and just lit a round of shots on fire! What I'm trying to say is: DOPE cocktails.
Leah M.April 28, 2013Voodoo Child (Vietnamese cold brew with sweetened condensed milk) is delicious, but tell them only half the ice -- 5 sips and you're done! At $4.75 you have a right to direct.
Gajtana SimonovskaJune 21, 2016Excellent coffee in spacious cafe with great service and big windows. Try their happy hour specials. All season beautiful.
Jade KimMay 25, 2013Great neighborhood place! Cocktails are amazing with a very knowledgable staff! And did I mention they carve their own ice...my new spot in my hood.
Chris the Bartender says, " try the "John Post," cuz it tastes like apple pie & coffee. It has cinnamon in it ....quite like a dessert. Great for cold nights."
Grab a coffee, cross the street. Sit down with your drink and a great view of the city.
Jastine KhoApril 2, 2019Major bar vibe in this coffee shop. It’s pretty dark inside during the day so I wouldn’t suggest coming here if you want to do some reading. Great coffee though !
Marcelo FleitasDecember 8, 2015ask for a Phoenix Rising. Bartender offered it knowing I like Bourbon and wanted to try something made with egg whites. EXCELLENT!
Alie JimenezAugust 28, 2021Cozy atmosphere and great coffee and cocktails. Excellent place to end the night for a low key vibe.
Daniel AllardJune 2, 2018Fav local hang out- great beers, cocktails, staff and ambience. Just wish they had more sofas!- Sam GrJuly 5, 2014Long Island City Special is great. House made coffee liqueur, agave, lemon, seltzer. Better than Kona Swizzle.
Venera VarbanovaDecember 9, 2016Amazing mulled wine! The best in NYC! Just like the gluhwein at the Christmas markets in Europe!
Ashley RoseDecember 5, 2014From Pure Wow: "The Maple Leaf In Long Island City, Sweet Leaf mixes its own espresso blend with Vermont maple syrup and steamed milk for a spot-on winter treat."
Liz LiuJuly 27, 2013Awesome ice latte! And try their rocket fuel signature drink with a vegan brownie bite! Perfect for a sunny day
Marc CohenJanuary 13, 2019Great coffee, great food, friendly staff. Only critique is if you're in a rush this isn't your place.- Lee SimpsonJuly 3, 2016The strawberry ice tea is real good on a hot day, but the vibe inside is weird. The place doesn't know if it's a wine bar or a coffee shop.
- Best drinks EVAH! Great atmosphere, chill music, bartenders are mixologists. Go here & you will be satisfied.
Zach and Zane are super rad. Order anything and it will be good ...I reco the east side cocktail :)
Humayun RashidMay 26, 2014Protip: Add Bulliet bourbon to your iced coffee. Worth the extra coin. You're welcome.
Great place to pull out the lappy toppy & work. Coffee's a bit earthy for my taste though.
Jenn ChienDecember 30, 2013Amazing bartender on Sunday nights. Homeopathic mixology!! Tell Chris what's ailing you and he'll whip up what's good for what ails you!
Liam K.August 23, 2017More of a bar than a coffee shop than the other location-good drinks try drunken voodoo!
Order any buck for a real zing! Lots if love put into these beautiful drinks ;)
Refreshing strawberry ice tea. Moist carrot cake with yummy cream cheese frosting.
CompassMay 15, 2014Gas-effect lighting and Victorian era decor set the scene for a laptop-friendly coffee and cocktail den.- Lattes, iced and hot are great. Rocket fuel is hit or miss. Sometimes it's great, sometimes not so much.
Awesome tea, awesome decor... And the vegan pear bread is delicious!
