It's a tiny cafe spot, but they finally have outdoor seating. The drinks are super delicious! I recently ordered a chai and added honeycomb syrup..wow! It was so delicious! The barista with the dark blond hair is very kind. I highly recommend this hidden gem! read more

I don't usually find myself in Howard Beach, but I was in the area and decided to check this spot out. The place is really cute with a nice ambiance, and it's conveniently located near the water -- definitely has that chill café vibe. I ordered the honeycomb latte and a chocolate croissant. The latte was smooth and enjoyable, not too sweet, and a great midday pick-me-up. The croissant, however, was a bit disappointing -- it wasn't warmed up (and I wasn't asked if I wanted it toasted), so the chocolate inside was still hard and not very melty or rich like you'd expect. Unfortunately, I got there just after the kitchen closed at 3 PM, so I missed out on trying one of their sandwiches, which I was really looking forward to. Overall, it's a cute place if you're already nearby, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come read more

I came here today and ordered a spumoni latte which is espresso, pistachio, and mocha. It was my first time trying a combo like this, and it was amazing! I was a bit skeptical about having pistachio flavored coffee, but I highly recommend you try it. It's a small store, so there's no place to sit inside but they do have three tables and chairs outside along the side of the building. They have a few parking spots in the back and a spot on the street too. The employees were friendly, and the service was fast. It's a great local spot in Howard Beach! I'll definitely be back. read more

Amazing coffee and matcha!! The baristas are also always such a pleasure. My favorite spot!

This place is such a gem, nice to have a cafe that's beyond the chain coffee shops in the area. The kind of places you're happy to find and know right off the bat it's going to be a favorite. My only sad note is that there is no seating. Cause I'd love to perch up in here for a a bit and enjoy the yummies . I did ask the girl at the counter about seats and she said they have some outdoor chairs and tables when the weather is warmer. That's something looking forward to. The coffee and drinks here are for coffee lovers . Craft concoctions that are downright treats themselves. Note that the proce range is from 3.00 to $6.50 . Where else are you getting quality coffee and specialty drink for that price? Can I just say again how happy I was to find this spot. I had the Shook Night, and a few days later I sent my hubby to pick up a Bullet Proof latte, not disappointed at all. I had a very awake week lol. We also had the Honey Ricotta Toast. Ahhh such a treat. Their toasts is sliced baguette, ugh I was sold instantly. Very generously topped with Ricotta and drizzled with the perfect amount of honey. What did I do to deserve such goodness. Hubby got the ham and cheese croissant and refused to share . He said it was delicious, I'll take his word but still mad at him for not sharing . On the menu- Lunch sandwiches, biscuits and egg frittatas, pastries, cookies and pudding cups. They have gluten free otions as well. I'll be eating my way through everything on this menu. *Parking area on the side and back of shop. read more

I was initially excited to have Etto Espresso Bar near my house until I realized that neither the pastries nor the coffee are good. The coffee came half spilled (over the croissant on top of that) and I doubt it was the driver's fault as I saw how it was packed. The spinach and goat cheese croissant was super dry and flavorless. Also, why use goat cheese vs. the usual feta? Odd. Sadly won't be trying this place again. read more

This will be my new coffee spot whenever I'm in the area! 100% prefer this shop than the busy freaking Starbucks down the road. Here's why... Food & drink: So I went with an order of their cold brew to actually try their coffee without all the fluff. Asked for the wrong thing though... I said drip coffee and got a hot coffee, on a hot day. Like an idiot. But the two guys were forgiving and handed me what I really wanted. Lol. Thanks, guys!!! Anyways, got that so I could really taste their coffee to see if I think differently than the negative reviews. And I do think differently. I'm not sure what coffee they were tasting because mine was great! It was strong, had a nutty taste, and was the perfect pick-me-up. My small coffee really got me through a crazy day... so I likey. They have a nice arrangement of pastries. I decided to get the Nutella croissant. Don't regret it at all. It wasn't overwhelmed with Nutella; had a great balance between croissant and Nutella in each bite. Interior: It is quite small, I would say like 3 people can fit in there without feeling like they're in someone's space. Luckily, not a lot of people were there so my stroller fit inside. This is not a complaint though since I'm used to good coffee spots having little inside space. Lol. This isn't inside but on the side of the shop, there is a cute seating area. Perfect for the summer and warm, Fall days! Service: Friendly and quick!!! read more

Spotted this tiny coffee and brunch place and decided to give it a try on an early Sunday afternoon. It's basically a take-away spot for drinks or a quick bite. No seats. I was hungry and already had my coffee a little earlier so I didn't get to try the coffee although the drinks looked great. No prices on menu for food or drinks which I thought was odd. Got the prosciutto di Parma sandwich. 3/10. Baguette was okay but not toasty enough for me. 2 slices of prosciutto, got spinach instead of arugula for whatever reason and barely any Brie cheese was spared. $14 for mostly bread. Not cool. My girl got a mini mushroom onion and cheese frittata. Nice small portion for $5.50. Delicious. 9/10. She also got the Burrata avocado toast. Nice size but for $18 and no meat on it seems a little cray. 8/10. The ladies are nice at the front although communication could be better when distributing change and giving a receipt since you don't have prices listed. Don't recommend the sandwiches if that's how it's done. Otherwise it's a cute and convenient spot for quick bites and drinks. read more

Just got into town to visit our daughter and this cute little gem in Queens. Tasty drinks and toasts. I had the S'mores iced latte, and it was rich, with a very distinctive flavor profile. I'm an admitted coffee snob, and this totally hit the spot!! Not too sweet, very well balanced. The Pesto burrata toast served on fresh baked baguette was excellent. Baguette layered with freshly chopped tomatoes, onion, dash of garlic, burrata, pesto, and demi glaze, oh delicious!! Will come back when I'm in the area again. read more

Hey yelpers ..... It's a no go for me & the wife totally based on their regular coffee... I'm sure some would disagree but their regular coffee is very strong ... $3.00 bucks for a 10 oz fare price for a coffee joint ... Very clean place very small, very impressive set up in regards to their cold pressed coffee set up ... ( if that's your stick ) Also had a very yummy looking donut & fritter selection out on display would have definitely gone in on a few of those stuffed donuts but our New Year Resolutions you guys know !!! The male barista was very polite & helpful in explaining their drink menu .... Would definitely return again to dry a cappuccino and a stuffed donut ... Thanks, Greg D & family read more

Place is stellar! Frank (the owner) is an absolute gentleman who is extremely passionate about his craft. This coffee shop is using quality coffee beans which allows the flavor profiles (i.e..fruit, chocolate, etc.) to be the highlight of the espresso. Moreover, their seasonal drink(s) are fantastic and always creative. read more

Service is fantastic. Best tasting coffee around. Nice selection of food. Great neighborhood spot!

Tried Etto for the 1st time today . We ordered 2 small capuchinos, 1 croissant with nutella and a sugar pastrie . It came out to about $11. Unfortunately the coffee was not what I expected . The size small is a little bigger then a sample cup . The pastries were nothing special . Won't be returning. UPDATE - (based on owners rude response ) it's called a review since it's based on MY OPINION . I lived in Howard beach all my life , I will be having the best laugh when I no longer see your little coffee shop - OUT OF BUSINESS. I give it 6 months to a year . I rather the coffee at 711. If you had more then 1 keyboard on your iPhone (meaning you were bilingual you would understand " capuchino ". ) but no you're just an arrogant business owner that can't handle an honest review . Like I stated , I will have the best laugh . WOW THIS GETS BETTER . I just received a message from OBVIOUSLY the owners wife . Stating I have no life for wishing his business bad. What a coincidence a small hole in the wall coffee shop with 13 reviews and I get an email 2 days after my review . THIS IS PATHETIC AND SO SAD ! NOT EVERYONE WILL LIKE WHAT YOU SELL ! GET OVER IT! Stop sending your family / friends to message me . read more

This place easily has the best avocado toast I have ever tried in my life. The bread it is on always tastes super fresh and is always very soft. The avocado on top of the bread is seasoned really well and the texture of the mashed up avocado is really nice as well. It is easily the best thing on their menu. A lot of their sweet treats here are also pretty solid. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming every time I come here which makes a very nice experience. I just wish there was more seating. Lastly, the espresso here is just okay. Nothing to rave about. read more

Great espresso! Delicious pastries. Came from out of state for the weekend. Wanted to find high quality coffee! This place delivered!! No cafe seating or indoor seating at all. This is a grab and go place. There were chairs up against the wall - in warmer weather they may have outdoor seating. Would go back next time in NYC! read more

I have never received better customer service than I have at Etto. I had received a bad order through Uber Eats and I decided to message the Etto Instagram account to voice my concern. Frank the owner of Etto reached out to me personally and not only was apologetic towards the situation but went above and beyond to do right by his customer. The food is absolutely delicious and the coffee is the best coffee I've had here in Howard Beach. 10/10 recommend !!! read more

I must say I'm glad this spot. It's hidden for those that doesn't look closely. There store (Howard Beach Location) isn't that big but enough to get customers attention. There coffee is great. My favorite combo Ice Caramel Latte w/ Almond Milk, Avocado Toast and Marshmallow Cookie. Everyone should try that Marshmallow Cookie. All knows a nice homemade biscuit is great and Etto Espresso Bar biscuits doesn't disappoint. Don't sway away from there sandwiches either. read more

This place takes their coffee very seriously. I challenge anyone to name a coffee place they've been where the baristas will dump the espresso grounds rather than use them because they feel the grind didn't come out right. Or throw out a just finished espresso shot because the pour on the machine wasn't the right length of time (to be the target flavor and extraction level). That's Etto. And that attitude to make amazing coffee every time starts with the owner Frank Z. Maybe you've read some of the less favorable reviews here on Yelp and you've seen Frank's response....so he's a little high strung, do you blame him, he owns a coffee shop for goodness sake -- how many cups of coffee is he drinking per day!? Etto is without a doubt one of the most serious coffee options in NYC, period. If I could afford to have Frank and the team set up their mobile coffee making cart for me in my apartment each morning, I would, but only if they agree to bring along some of their delicious food options and pastries. read more

Etto's very good. The food is good and the people are nice, all that good stuff. Four stars instead of five. Why: At first it was easier to order. Ordered over the phone, (I'm a little old fashioned like that). Then they said they preferred orders on their site. Did that but there were mistakes when I brought the orders back home. Went to call again but they advised it's now only on the site. More mistakes. Decided just to order in-person. Mistakes again. I'd like this place to stick around; it's a nice change of pace and the rest, other then the mistakes, is very good. Just check your order when you get it. read more

Etto is a small coffee shop. There is not seating inside, so all orders are to go. We picked up a few pastries including a pistachio bombolini, a chocolate croissant, and a potato chip & marshmallow cookie. All the sweets were great. Our favorite was the bombolini. Their coffee setup looked great but I passed on the coffee given that we stopped in late in the afternoon. I'll be back to try the coffee. read more

Very bad attitude and service at this establishment. My co-workers have been mistreated and mishandled grossly several times. The owner defends and make excuses for his employees rather than actually improve the level of customer service. read more

My new favorite spot in the neighborhood for coffee! Etto has a very unique menu with a variety of different options. Their coffee and espresso is always made fresh, giving it the rich taste that you often don't get when ordering from large establishments that make their drinks in bulk like Dunkin or Starbucks. They also have different flavors, including seasonal flavors for different times of the year. I usually order their Bulletproof Latte or the white chocolate iced latte, both creamy and delicious espresso based drinks! Along with the great beverages they also have many breakfast, brunch, and snack options to pair with your coffee. Although a small spot, they are very compliant with safety measures in the current COVID environment. Staff is always wearing masks and gloves, and social distancing is enforced. Overall a great small business in the neighborhood that I would highly recommend!! read more

Very nice breakfast option. I order via Ubereats seeking a quick brunch order. I ordered the Bacon Egg and cheese, the bomboloni with raspberry filling and the ham and cheese croissant. The biscuit on the bacon egg and cheese was excellent - fluffy and very filling. The egg was soft and soufflé like, and the bacon was good but lacking-the biscuit needed another slice ( I would not mind paying extra for more bacon). The bomboloni was really soft and fresh with a really nice thick raspberry filling. These were my favorite and definitely a reorder along with the BEC biscuit! My croissant was very good but the filling itself was lacking meat and cheese. It definitely needs more ...but all and all it was really nice to order from a non chain and a Queens small business. The food is good and arrived quickly. read more

Love this place. We pass it all the time going to the rockaways and finally decided to stop in. Great coffee and lattes, the pastries look awesome and friendly staff. Would love to see some gluten free options but can't complain too much when my latte is that good! Everyone should pass right by that Starbucks and go here. We certainly will! read more

I've worked in the area for over ten years and have always lamented the lack of a good coffee place. Thank god I decided to look again because this place popped up so I hopped to it. Finally a good latte near work! And what makes it even better is that not only is the coffee good, but the pastries are actually high quality, too. One stop shopping for your morning run. Thanks, Etto! read more

Went here for the first time yesterday and I was so impressed! It's about time Howard Beach got a cute espresso shop like this. Everything looked DELICIOUS!! I wanted every Italian donut, every croissant.. I wish I wasn't on a diet because I probably would have bought the whole pastry case. The man behind the counter was SO NICE! He gave me an Italian donut for free because he saw how much I was drooling over them. I told him I would pay for It but he insisted - what a gentleman! The latte I got was AMAZING. Tasted great! I asked for a squeeze of caramel and It was the perfect amount, It had the great flavor of caramel but not too sweet! I will go back here again so I can try more food and all of the other drinks they offer! read more

This is my new favorite place to stop for coffee and maybe bread or a sweet treat. This is a new modern establishment with 3 patrons welcomed at a time right now, and with outside seating. The coffee is delicious, on point.... and served as regular, cappuccino, and espresso. I chose the apple spice cake to go along which is lite and very tasty. My friend chose chai tea, and a nutella donut. I have been there 3 times this weekend and I am very pleased. read more
