I haven't tried the food but it looked good. Extensive drink menu. I had the Rooh Afza matcha, the rose syrup was nice but not overpowering and the matcha was a nice green color, I definitely felt the caffeine kick! Our group of four stayed for a while to chat so I went up to buy the last banana pudding. The woman working took it in the back to add more fresh banana on top and we all enjoyed splitting it. They have a solid range of desserts and pastries on display. There's $2.50 cucumber tea sandwiches or Lipton tea with lemon if you're looking to be a very cheap date. It's hard for a cafe to compete with the pink chai down the block when I'm going out of my way to come to this part of the neighborhood, but for somewhere to work, read or hang with a friend I would definitely choose First Cup, and I will be back for more banana pudding and another fun latte.

We wandered in the heat until coming across this quaint cafe. Many breakfast options and delicious coffees as well as fruit drinks. The nondairy chia pudding was phenomenal, they add berries and granola. Kids loved their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. Oat milk latte hit the spot. And since we had to wander the city more before our flight we tried their slushies, which tasted like all real fruit without added sugar. Staff were super friendly as well. Highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

This is my favorite sandwich shop in the area- everything is made in house and is fresh. My…read morefavorite sandwich is the zucchini mozzarella; I've been getting it for years. Their bread is always so good and so are their pastries! It was time i left a review especially after the exceptional customer service i experienced today. Today I ordered my normal sandwich and it was the wrong order so they immediately tried to resolve and made a new one. I had further problems with seamless delivering the wrong order ( not 51st's fault) but they made it again (with treats) and continued to jump through hoops to make sure I would get my sandwich. They likely lost a profit on all these attempts to get this sandwich to me and still were lovely about it! A great neighborhood spot with nice employees and yummy food that I would definitely recommend to anyone :)

I sat towards the back and wouldn't recommend it because the ac was leaking slightly and it was dark and smelled a bit fishy (from something they were cooking I think). However the overall cafe is fairly clean and the front side is brightly lit with many nice plants and a large round table. It was raining so sadly couldn't enjoy the backyard seating. All the pastries feel home made and have a warmth to them :) and it was close to closing so they gave some extra pastries. The choco chip cookie was a highlight at $2.50 a piece. Not sure how you'll take this but it tasted like McDonald's cookies USED to taste-- in a really really good way. They aren't crispy edges or browned butter flavor in any way but a decent classic cookie that is warm and chewy and cheap! The carrot cake was also pretty good especially for sharing in small groups. I would recommend visiting especially if you want a nice quiet place to work nearby . The matcha was ok standard, nothing persay that stood out but wasn't bad

On the last day of a recent visit to NYC I was looking for the entrance to the Court Square subway…read morestation and I found Cafe Coco first (it's across the street.) I had originally planned to get breakfast somewhere else but I'm glad I stopped here. I need coffee in the morning to feel alert and human so I got some. I ordered the French breakfast croissant and a scone from the bakery case to eat on the train later. There was a fair amount of seating available and there were outlets, which I am always looking for. Because I had my suitcase I noticed right away that the space is very narrow. They also have a time limit on seating due to space concerns which is not uncommon for NYC. I didn't run into any issues, just a consideration. My coffee and breakfast croissant were delicious. The croissant was flaky and buttery and the eggs and mushrooms complemented the flavor, and the little salad on the side added some freshness. The space was sunny and there was art on display with an explanatory plaque. The bathroom was papered with newsprint including French recipes I wanted to write down. Long Island City was a convenient place to stay when I was visiting and I wanted to explore the neighborhood more than I did, so I'm glad I found Cafe Coco before I left.

Although, it was pretty good, I do think the price is a tad on the high end but not too unreasonable considering the smoked salmon. The cafe has a nice seating area including both indoor and covered patio seating. The lady behind the counter / serving the tables was friendly and the service speed was decent. The space is not too big, so there's a cozy vibe. Overall, I think Cafe Coco is a solid choice if you're looking for a casual brunch / coffee spot near the Court Square subway station.

The cold foam top was creamy, not too sweet, and had cacao dusting on top. It's definitely an indulgent, dessert-like coffee but I found it pleasant to drink and got the caffeine kick I needed. I would come back!

We got the Iced Freddo Cappuccino which was beautifully layered with strong espresso and creamy top layer. It could've used some slight sweetness but once it was well mixed, it tasted better. The Iced Banana Oat Latte was slightly disappointing because the banana was sour/bitter. I don't know if it was not as fresh or if that happened once it mixed with the espresso but it didn't come together well. It was creamy and the espresso was good but the bitter aftertaste made it unpleasant to finish. Decent try if you're looking for a cute cafe in the area!

Me and my girl was looking for a coffee shop that was laptop friendly and closed late since we came after work. I was a bit disappointed that they did not serve any alcoholic beverages as I saw a lot of good reviews on that portion. We came, we sat down on a Saturday night. There was only one person at the front and it seemed she was also managing the serving part so it did get pretty hectic at some point. We decided to order the Budae Jigae (Hot Pot), there is no way to alter the spicy level so for those who love spicy spicy, this is for you. Me and my friend was really disturbed by the fact that we were treated some type of way. Maybe it's because we weren't Korean or? Service was slow asf. It took a really long time for them to serve me my iced strawberry matcha drink. And even longer for the food. It was also hard to tag her down, and she seemed pretty annoyed that we had to ask her for multiple items. We were a party of 2 and she only gave us one set of items. I went again by myself the next day to see if it was better service and it was pretty packed. There was actually 3-4 people at the front but even then it was so hard to get someone to take my order, ask for napkins, for the check, etc. While there was no time limit on Saturday, there was a time limit of 1 hour and 30 minutes on Sunday. would I go again? Maybe, but it's def veering towards the no side.
