What a gem . Reminds of the small family owned cafes before the billionaire coffee shops moved in. The owner is a kind gentle soul, welcoming and funny. The interior is internationally inspired and so is the menu. Truth pistachio latte although the iced toffee flavored latte was my favorite read more

This is an awesome place with a ton of great options. They have a wide variety of flavors in their coffee. They also have a solid selection of teas. Customer service is lightning fast, and it has a cool vibe that seems to make it popular with young people. read more

If you're in Staten Island I definitely recommend giving Herbal Dispense a try! The matcha paired nicely with the raspberry flavor that they used. It was super tasty for a much needed caffeine break. The staff were friendly and patient. The atmosphere was very cute and quaint. If I was in Staten Island this would be my regular spot. read more

Herbal Dispense - Rainbow Cookie Iced Matcha Latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I cannot praise Herbal Dispense enough. After seeing the heavily foamed and topped pistachio latte, I had to come try one for myself. Both the workers and the owner were soooo nice to the point of offering to make a new drink if I didn't like the creations I chose (which wasn't the slightest bit necessary). The syrups don't overpower the drink and the toppings also add just the right amount of sweetness. Herbal Dispense has quickly climbed my ranks of best coffee on the island with their innovation in toppings as well as their cozy and clean seating. Great spot to meet friends for coffee or just to pick up a little treat! read more

Herbal Dispense - Pistachio Latte with Cold Foam, Smores Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Another day another cafe! I got the S'mores latte and my girlfriend got the pistachio latte and both were absolutely delicious! This spot is very skilled at making you a sweet drink while making sure it still has that coffee flavor. I've also come before and gotten the tiramisu latte and I heavily recommend that as well. The staff is very friendly and talkative. As far as the atmosphere goes they showcase their Palestinian roots all over the store. There's some authentic art all over the inside and they have the coziest bar stools as well! Overall it's a great spot to stop in and get a cup of joe or sit down and do some work! read more

If you haven't been here before and don't know that they offer different sizes the owner won't ask you what size you want he'll just decide that you're getting a large so that he can charge you $11 for a drink. Drinks were good but not $11 good. After going there and paying almost $60 for 3 drinks (size was not asked so they all default large without us choosing size) and 2 hummus toasts, I went to look them up on instagram to see that I was blocked by them. What business blocks paying customers? And when asked about it they claimed it must have been an accident. Go try to block someone on instagram and see how many buttons you have to press to block them, you truly cannot do it on accident lol. read more

A little gem in Staten Island.. an endless menu of different types of drinks that won't disappoint! The owners are amazing and wonderful people... must try !!! read more

Friendly halal place with a variety of teas and coffees. The tea menu is extensive . I had Moraccan mint, beautiful not bitter. Next time mint mixed with hibiscus - lovely, and the 3rd time I had a nice full bodied coffee. They make your hot or cold drink to order, and there is only one barista so you will wait a bit, but it is definitely worth the wait. read more

This is hands down, the best coffee I have ever had. Me and my friend finished are drinks within minutes, we could not put it down it was so delicious. read more

Herbal Dispense - Tiramisu and salted caramel iced coffee!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I was so happy when this opened not far from me and it had so much potential but extremely disappointed and won't be coming back. Drinks started off at $8 which was already ridiculous but we said why not and let's support a locally owned small business but now the prices have hiked up to over $11 ! What would make an owner think that $11 for a latte is normal? These prices are beyond ridiculous even when you can afford them. The drinks are made too sweet and artificial and not to the standard of that pricing. 7$ for a medium drink is already more than fair. Companies like this shouldn't be supported. read more

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this store. I went in with my kids to purchase two coffees and two muffins. Right from the start, the owner was unnecessarily rude and loud, asking if we were going to eat the muffins there and saying he'd give us plates so we "don't make a mess"--even though we hadn't done anything messy. When it came time to pay, I was told to wait, only to be loudly asked across the room, "How are you going to pay for this?" It felt very aggressive and uncalled for. My kids were being calm and respectful, simply throwing away trash, when the owner suddenly shouted at them not to slam the bin. They didn't slam anything--it just made a noise when closing. There was absolutely no reason for the hostility. The service was beyond rude and made what should have been a simple coffee stop very stressful. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who values basic courtesy and respectful treatment. Side note : I have come here many times and brought many different people here. Spending at least $30 every time visited. Toxic environment to his workers and customers whatever seems to be troubling him may god help guide him. Not acceptable. read more

Drinks are literally sooo good + so big! It's a one man show here and it just makes you feel like you're really gettin something special honestly lol purely made w/ love & vibes. So many options, a million flavors, it's like one of those Pacific Northwest coffee carts with all the different specials/bevs but right on Forest Ave. matcha is sooo good too! I'll try to take pix next time sorry but yeah def try anything, it's all good. If you don't like sweet - just ask for less sweet cause the drinks are on the sweeter side if you don't specify! read more

Drinks and services were amazing! Tried a scone and it tasted great! Definitely coming back when I am in the neighborhood!

I say this with the utmost respect because they seem like really nice people But this establishment has no business taking mobile orders. They are just not equipped for it. They are very popular among young people in the neighborhood and as such, there's always a sizable chunk of people in there. If you combine that with the fact that only one person is there making the drinks and that each drink takes a very long time to make, there's just really no way that you're not going to be waiting an excessive period of time for your mobile order. read more

Very creative and yummy drinks. There's places to sit inside. Service is quick if the line isn't long. read more

The service and ambiance is great very family oriented. You are greeted immediately with kindness. There is an abundance of coffee and tea flavors to choose from. Prices for each drink vary from $8-$12 depending on what you get. The overall quality of the drinks speak for themselves as they taste so great and fresh. Great spot to go to and support a local business. read more

Terrible service for the high high price they charge. Run tbh! Honestly I really wanted to like the place cause the owners were great but the larger girl with round face they have as a staff is just terrible. She plays the TV and music simultaneously and very loudly. She also kicked us and a few other studiers out of the cafe saying she needs to clean in the middle of the day and just had friends come over and just sat around. The owners really need to do something about her. read more

Obsessed! Their rainbow cookie latte is to die for. I also love that they're proudly Palestinian owned. I'll be going back soon! read more

Amazing experience and drinks! We ordered 4 refreshers and each one was amazing. The barista was super nice and accommodating. After every drink she would ask us to try and let her know if any adjustments were needed. I would highly recommend this establishment. read more

The quality of the drinks is A+. You can explore the teas on the table in front, the coffee is good, lots of nondairy milk options, and also a ton of seasonal non-coffee options.
