Overflow Coffee

Vernon needed another coffee shop and this is such a great addition. I’ve tried their mocha and their vanilla latte - both were a good balance of sweet and strong. And this is a great use of the space. Glad to see they’re busy!

What a cute spot! Coffee was delicious but the atmosphere is here is amazing. There’s plenty of seating but it does seem busy and full. What’s adorable is the children’s area off to the side for the little ones.

Overflow Coffee is a delightful spot that I recently had the pleasure of visiting after a run. What immediately struck me was how refreshingly uncomplicated their menu is – making it easy to choose exactly what you're in the mood for without any overwhelming options. They also have a tempting selection of pastries, reasonably priced between $3.50 and $5. The coffee itself is also priced just right, offering good value for a quality brew. I opted for a hot latte, which was satisfying and hit the spot. To accompany it, I chose a delicious blueberry scone. Both were perfect after a bit of exercise. Beyond the offerings, the ambiance of Overflow Coffee is truly lovely. It's a quiet space with a very appealing aesthetic, making it a relaxing environment to unwind. I found myself quite comfortable there and can definitely see myself hanging out at Overflow Coffee in the future. It's a great addition to the neighborhood!

Cute modern coffee spot in LIC. Ordered a cold brew and it was delicious. Bunch of people were there working so if you want a table to sit and enjoy your coffee/pastry, probably would be hard to get an available table. The staff were nice and friendly.

The best coffee shop in town. Top tier quality coffee & pastries, the owner / entire staff goes above & beyond, and the vibes are always on point. I’d give it more stars if I could. Overflow for the win!

Found my neighborhood cafe!! What a Gem 💎 This newly opened cafe has ample seating (couch etc for those wanting more comfy seating) bright crisp atmosphere, with a dash of rustic charm. Entering, it’s bright and airy, inviting with warm tones. The staff here are warm and friendly, just what you’d want from a neighborhood staple. Tried the ham and cheese croissant, yum! And cardamom pastry, both very good! I’m so glad they carried “ham and cheese croissant” as those are hard to come by at cafes. Cardamom pastry is sprinkled with sugar but not overly sweet. Would prefer no sugar sprinkles but that’s just my personal preference, nothing on quality and taste of their bun. Must try! Oat latte was good! Served in beautiful chic cup and saucer (love the experience with traditional drink wares) it just elevates the cafe experience in my opinion. Latte art was pretty good too (also elevates coffee experience). Their theme is based around community, donating parts of proceeds to local community. The price was also very reasonable; no $9 pastry hype. For 2 pastry and a latte, I Paid $16. Overall this will be my goto coffee spot in LIC.

LOVE Overflow, I was in town for 3 days and I went to Overflow every morning (per my friends’ recommendation) while I was there and tried something different each time. I was never disappointed, always delighted. I tried 2 items from their seasonal menu—iced lychee matcha and iced banana milk flat white, both incredible, especially the banana milk, I vote that should be a regular on the menu, I would come from CT to drink that again. I also tried their iced vanilla latte and it was superb. They do just the right amount of sweetness in all their drinks, not too much, not too little. I also got 3 different food items, cardamom twist, chocolate chip cookie, and ham & cheese croissant. Still having dreams about all of them. Take them home and heat them up just a little bit and enjoy with your coffees. Thank me later 😉 I also love the space, I was considering staying to do some homework but I didn’t have the time this visit. They made the seating area very inviting. All around 5 ⭐️! Will be back when I’m in LIC again in a couple weeks!

Honestly, I was a little unsure of whether or not I needed a new coffee spot in the neighborhood. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of coffee here (I enjoyed a flat white, my go-to order to judge a coffee shop) and the quality of chai/matcha/hojicha for my non-coffee drinking friends. Also, as someone who is gluten free I really appreciate that they have some GF baked goods (peanut butter cookie & jam bar, I had to try both of course!). Overall I was impressed by the quality drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and space for seating to meet up with friends or work remotely. This is a great addition to LIC!

Drinks were delicious and perfect sweetness. I am not a fan of the fruit and matcha combo but their seasonal lunar new year Lychee Matcha was pleasant. I like that they have a space for children

The two times I came in for coffee because I had to repair my bike from up the block; this place provided a warm welcome. The staff here are very warm and fun. Positive too. The coffee was also good! The Americano was good, as well as their seasonal drinks like the spicy pear cappuccino, that go well for this weather. Funny enough, John, from the bike shop, recommended this place! That's how you know the community helps each other out. All and all, definitely a place to check out!

Relatively new coffee shop, opened up in Oct 2024 the guy there told me. Very nice atmosphere and great coffee! Will definitely return.

One of my favorite coffee shops in the neighborhood. Love their hot mocha!

The matcha here is amazing!!! and that's coming from a matcha snob. Really good quality matcha and really beautifully steamed oat milk! :0) seems like a good place to get work done, I don't see many outlets, tho there is a bathroom!

overflowcoffee is a perfect spot to get some work done. this place is spacious and has everything you need to wfh. i tried matcha latte ($6) 🍵 and it did not disappoint. they whisked it on the spot (not from a huge pre-made batch👌🏻which i have seen a lot these days). they have wifi, many seats (with a few outlets), restroom, and great coffee / pastry menu. you can choose a seat by the window, couch, or proper table. there is ample natural light here. located near the east river, you can walk a couple blocks and wind down after work 🤍

I love Overflow! The service is always good, the coffee is good quality, and the environment is somehow wonderful for both getting work done or sitting to chat with a friend. I come often to work on my laptop and there is a variety of seating; small tables for 1 or 2, benches and small countertops, a sofa and some comfy chairs with the space broken up well for slightly larger groups or individuals to sit. Not to mention the adorable play space for children which is welcoming and cozy but still doesn't seem to attract noisiness. They play great music which, for my taste, isn't too loud or distracting.

Nice cafe in the area. Drinks are decent with seasonal menu sometimes. Chill with family vibes since there’s a kid zone inside! Lattes were creamy and classic.

This local coffee shop is pretty decent, a place to go for the atmosphere and when you need a cup of coffee around the local community. It’s clean and neat, a welcoming entering. The coconut matcha latte was good, not too much milk (I have had excellent ones before so this one not much of my like but different for everyone taste bud). A kid friendly place for children to play and entertain, a small set up play area for children 5 and under. The banana bread is good and moist.

My review is primarily based on their matcha. From my understanding, high quality matcha should have a natural sweetness with a hint of bitterness that complements, rather than overpowers, the sweetness. The matcha I tried was unbalanced and overly bitter. I love grassy notes in matcha, but they should enhance the flavor, not make it bitter. The coffee shop itself is nice, and I'd return to try their latte next time.

This is a great place for coffee and a pastry in the morning. I love that this location is so close to where I’m staying in Long Island city. Very friendly staff and a surprisingly good amount of seating for a small place. I look forward to visiting the spot again in the future.

The coffee and baked goods here are unmatched! That said, I find a lot of the parents who bring their kids are pretty disrespectful- most recently, one of the kids ran up to where I was sitting and repeatedly tried to slap my laptop off my lap. I love that theres a place in the neighborhood for parents and kids - but the parents need to be accountable for misbehavior. Its my only knock on this place!
