Comely poison at sweet leaf.

One 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!

Veronica Chan

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 Paige

Had 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!

This 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 Chakraborty

Excellent 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

Melissa Bauer

Drinks 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.

Evan Staff

Roasting 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 .

Mark Kupasrimonkol

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.

Natallia Lysakova

The best cocktails and the best coffee in LIC. Spiked hot chocolate is outstanding!

Greg

Great 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

Ryan DeNardo

Coffee 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 .

Rocket 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 ZandlSlant

Great place to hang. Cool music , fun staff . Great coffe , chai tea - the hot chocolate is way too sweet!!!

Block to Block NYC

We went to Sweetleaf for happy hour--$6 wines , $5 beers . Chill atmosphere. They had a basket of games that kept us entertained.

Venera Varbanova

Amazing mulled wine ! The best in NYC! Just like the gluhwein at the Christmas markets in Europe!

Ashley Rose

From 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."

Jeff Bowen

The 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.

Gajtana Simonovska

Excellent coffee in spacious cafe with great service and big windows. Try their happy hour specials . All season beautiful.

Jade Kim

Great 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.

Jenipher Brody

BEST experience! The golden something tea was ammmmazing! The cookie delicious, all the staff stellar! Totally coming here every Tuesday. :D

Demetrius Bagley

"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

Try 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.

Alie Jimenez

Cozy atmosphere and great coffee and cocktails . Excellent place to end the night for a low key vibe.

Leah M.

Voodoo 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.

Klaas Pieter Annema

Grab a coffee , cross the street. Sit down with your drink and a great view of the city .

Daniel Allard

Fav local hang out- great beers , cocktails , staff and ambience. Just wish they had more sofas !

Marcelo Fleitas

ask for a Phoenix Rising. Bartender offered it knowing I like Bourbon and wanted to try something made with egg whites . EXCELLENT!

Journo Girl

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."

Sam Gr

Long Island City Special is great. House made coffee liqueur , agave , lemon , seltzer. Better than Kona Swizzle .

Jastine Kho

Major 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 !

Humayun Rashid

Protip: Add Bulliet bourbon to your iced coffee . Worth the extra coin. You're welcome.

Journo Girl

Best drinks EVAH! Great atmosphere, chill music , bartenders are mixologists . Go here & you will be satisfied.

Jenn Chien

Amazing bartender on Sunday nights. Homeopathic mixology !! Tell Chris what's ailing you and he'll whip up what's good for what ails you!

Liz Liu

Awesome ice latte ! And try their rocket fuel signature drink with a vegan brownie bite ! Perfect for a sunny day

Marc Cohen

Great coffee , great food, friendly staff . Only critique is if you're in a rush this isn't your place.

Compass

Gas-effect lighting and Victorian era decor set the scene for a laptop-friendly coffee and cocktail den.

James C

Coffee ! Coffee ! Coffee ! If you are picky about a good cup of Joe, then there is no need to look any further

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Great coffee shop/hangout. Love the vibe.

Erica Sklar

Zach and Zane are super rad. Order anything and it will be good ...I reco the east side cocktail :)

Lee Simpson

The 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 .

Audrey O

Love their signature drinks . Perfect for coffee or cocktails .

Teal Prange

Very cool vibe.. the Demerara Joe was tasty

A F

an exceptional Sunday morning coffee stop / an exceptional Sunday evening cocktail spot

Venera Varbanova

Good cocktails , nice music , chill atmosphere...

Ailie Chang

Refreshing strawberry ice tea . Moist carrot cake with yummy cream cheese frosting .

Manuel Morales

Great coffee in the mornings, great cocktails in the evening

Liam K.

More of a bar than a coffee shop than the other location-good drinks try drunken voodoo!

Daniel Tewfik

Getta book and enjoy music on Saturday mornings.
