The voodoo child served hot is a frothy, sweet Vietnamese coffee . Tasty and reminiscent of Philz in SF.

Ladies 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 Danilova

Primes 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!

Amy Wu

Has vegan pastry options, and unique, goth-y decor. Found seating fairly easily on a Sunday afternoon (with three "separate" seating areas - check out the record room in the back.)

Gothamist

This cafe has free wifi , a laptop room , and a “vinyl ” spot in the back where you can spin 100+ favorites from the house record collection (but you can’t bring your laptop in, sorry!). Read more

PureWow

The original location of this Queens roastery has the ambience game on lock: embossed tin walls, antique Parisian furniture and stacks of records and a turntable for picking your own jams . Read more

Marissa Stuart

What a gem. I came across this spot by chance and I love it. Fantastic pastries and lattes . Snag a seat in the record room where you can listen to a great collection of vinyl .

There's free wifi , the best coffee in Queens & some of the best in NYC (from a variety of indie roasters), house-made baked goods , sandwiches , a laptop room and a turntable room. Friendly staff . Read more

Elizabeth Mitchell

Rocket fuel is amazing. Raspberry oat bar is the stuff of dreams. The donuts are sweet and delicious little cinnamon spiked dough balls that dance a fine line between cake and yeast.

New York Habitat

This is a great coffee shop that offers delicious drinks and hand-crafted cocktails at night. Try the Strawberry Black Iced Tea & the refreshing Long Island City special!

Now with three shops, two in LIC and one in the growing western edge of Williamsburg, Sweetleaf has begun roasting at a secret Brooklyn location but will unveil their roastery to the world soon.

Patrick Baskin

Amazing cold brew , I wish I lived in LIC so I could go here every day

Liset van der Laan

Really nice coffee shop , great vibe, retro . Nice ice coffee . Apparently at night it becomes a bar .

Matthew Caldecutt

The Voodoo coffee is great hot and an espresso is a fine chaser. It's cozy here too.

Eric and Elaine Ohlson

Everything is good at Sweetleaf and the staff is terrific. Very friendly and helpful.

Rachel King

Eater: "Here’s the Rocket Fuel , cold brew spiked with chicory , maple syrup , and milk , and the Voodoo Child , a Vietnamese-style iced coffee made with sweetened condensed milk ."

There are only 3 window seats , but the window counter juts onto the sidewalk, providing a view of 3 intersecting thoroughfares and the Pulaski Bridge . Wifi , quality coffee & in-house baked goods . Read more

Christina C.

The coffee is delicious. The baked good is good. The place is low-key & great. I love it here.

Brittany VanBibber

The atmosphere is unique and antique-y. The coffee is great and the baked goods are to die for. Definitely recommend stopping by.

Nissa

Love the ambiance and separation of the laptop room and non-laptop room. Good espresso , I had the Americano

George Quest

Good coffee , nice sweets, awesome back room with a turntable where u can play ur own records. Highly recommended neighbourhood spot.

Emel Süslü

Everytings is perfect except one barista, he is so rude, I wanted a fork and he throwed it to me!

Still a little rough around the edges, but already popular with the locals, this third branch of Sweetleaf is a daytime coffee shop , nighttime Dutch Kills spinoff craft cocktail bar. Read more

Chris Davis

Get the cheddar scallion cornbread muffin and iced coffee for breakfast !

Mitchell Bartolo

As an Australian travelling around the States it was difficult to find a latte as good as the ones back home. Until I found Sweetleaf.

Dave Klein

Great coffee , cool tunes , chill vibe. However, despite having a dedicated "laptop room " there isn't a single outlet available to customers.

Lisa Kim

I'm a coffee snob and this passes the test. voodoo child and rocket fuel is out of this world!

Weirdly Gruesome

Great coffee and courteous staff . Funky retro decor in back room. Use Designated area for laptops but make sure battery is fully charged. No outlet usage. Like that theres a sink near front to wash

Mark Huijnen

Stop by after you've had your dose of MOMA PS1 or 5Pointz graffiti art . This place has soul, serves mean coffee and has wifi .

thea

Love the decaying Victorian living room feel. Obviously the coffee is amazing but so are the blueberry muffins .

JenKudu

Pick 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.

Molly T

Amazing cocktails & still quiet ! Go now before it gets too popular

Nathan Tabak

Strawberry iced tea (black tea shaken with strawberry puree ) is a bit pricy at $4.25, but incredibly delicious and refreshing.

Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guide

Since it doubles as a bar , Sweetleaf's third location in Hunters Point, Queens has lots of nooks & crannies for laptop work, free wifi , and a few plugs. Read more

Benjamin Peryer

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.

Jingjing Yang

very interesting cool and chill spot ~old school~exactly what I want

Benjamin Peryer

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.

Serious Eats

This original, expanded location maintains a darling, factory-salvaged common table dedicated to the laptop crowd exclusively.

Clara Bayarri

Very cute place serving Stumptown coffee , the cappuccino was great.

Pema Choden

Pastries are cheap and home made . Their coffee would be in my top 10 list for sure!

Michael Novak

Great coffee selection, the pastries are absolutely amazing. Especially the cinnamon doughnut holes.

Nick Cohen

Trendy coffee shop perfect for catching up with old and new friends alike

Kimmie Ohh

Love that they have free WiFi , but love their lattes even more :)

Scott Lee

Voodoo Child ?? their take on Vietnamese iced coffee . yes please!

Alice Chao

The Voodoo Child is sweet deliciousness. It's very sweet though, so if you don't like sugar, get something else.

Susumu

There is a Record room in the back. Refrain from using a laptop in this room.

Brad Gerick

If you like sugar and apple cider , the apple cider doughnut holes are delicious, even for $1.

Breanne Smith

Amazing coffee . Cool atmosphere and friendly service

Katie T

I haven’t tried the hot Voodoo Child so that’s what I’m looking forward to this winter!!

Mary

My all time fave coffee !!! Atmosphere and people are awesome! Take advantage of the "Your 10th Drink is on Us" punch card!
