Artpresso Cafe

I rarely give any establishment 5 stars because that is saved for those establishments that outdo themselves!! I believe this is one such establishment. Tucked away in Long Island City, almost a hole in the wall, this one is a hidden gem. It’s just the right size with good selection of food and drinks, great decor and ambience. The staff is amazing. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. When my friend and I had visited, there were very few people. Suddenly I hear Bollywood music playing on the speakers and no staff there was Indian. I found it very interesting. The coffee was good. They have both indoor and outdoor dining area. The cafe is only couple of blocks from the 39th Ave train station.

I really liked this place! The vibe of the cafe was so nice and I really loved how I felt this space’s community! When I went the owner and his friends were watching football on a projector, and it felt like a nice communal space for the community! The drinks were decent, I liked the tumerica latte because it was something I had never had before. The owner was very nice and I really liked all the furnishings and decor, especially the light fixture and the tables. The art was also very nice to look at!

Stumbled upon this cozy café a few days ago. Friendly service, a perfectly made vanilla steamer, and a great place to relax and enjoy local art. Will definitely return!

Beautiful little cafe with local art. Great service from Susan and other staff! Freshly roasted espresso which makes the cappuccinos and iced fredo espressos as good as they are!!! Came back like six times lol 😬

I highly recommend this place, the plates are plentiful and the service is so warm and accommodating, chicken fresh mozzarella was absolutely delicious with arugula avocado salad in the side was tasty. You can tell when a place cares about the neighborhood and community that they serve. Would highly recommend!

A Hidden Gem with Hungarian Flair This hidden gem is cozy and combines art and flavor. Their turmeric latte is a must-try— delicious and comforting. The Hungarian pastry, made from the owner’s “Grandma’s recipe” is a must try and pairs perfectly with the latte. What set this cafe apart for me is that it supports local artists. They have a dedicated gallery wall, which added to the charm and meaning of the visit. They currently also have the cafe decorated for Christmas, which makes it a warm and welcoming space. If you’re ever in LIC or live in the area, definitely stop by! I’m always happy to support local business and am excited another has opened up in the area.

An art forward cafe serving three meals of food and all the coffee options you'd want. A true neighborhood gem worth going out of your way to support.

Great place to grab breakfast, tasty coffee, delicious pastries, cozy atmosphere. The staff here are so hardworking.

Lovely spot in LIC, the owners are super cool and friendly. The coffee is terrific and the shop is really cool, definitely a solid spot to work from when you dont wanna be at home. And they got lots of art hanging on the walls :)

very nice place with really good coffee and fresh and healthy food (you don’t find those easy in ny 🙃), also the staff is very nice and kind

Part café. Part art gallery. You can buy a picture off the wall and/or have a bacon&egg croissant. Clean. Not pretentious. Pass on Dunkin Donuts. Go here instead. A hidden gem.

I had the absolute pleasure today of enjoying their bacon egg and cheese. To my surprise it came on a fresh and buttery croissant and the bacon was chopped all nice inside the scrambled egg’s which I really enjoyed as there was bacon in every bite. Truly on the the best B.E.C I have had in a while.

Every plate that comes from this kitchen impresses. The costs at Artpresso Cafe won't shock and vegetables are plentiful. This place meets my needs consistently. Our server's friendly banter improved our dinner. I would come back to try the other dishes.

Got some drinks and a sandwich here recently. Got a turkey and Swiss croissant and it was really nice! My brother got a smoothie that was also nice! The only small issue is it seems understaffed and it takes a really long time for the people working there to prepare food and drinks. Some streamlining would do wonders.

$5.50 for the chai. Kinda crazy what coffee prices are these days but I guess it is what it is. I mainly came here to use the restroom and they gladly let me. Even restocked the tp at my request. They do need a coat hook in the bathroom though. The chai? It’s creamy not much flavor. Very average. About as average as 68% of other chai lattes I’ve had. Thanks

An ordinary place in the area. Cappuccino was average. But the highlight for me was the coconut balls they made in house! It was unique and delicious. I highly recommend them if u r looking for treats.

I recently visited this café and ordered a Nutella croissant with strawberries, an iced latte, and a brownie. The taste overall was okay, but nothing extraordinary. The croissant was a bit of a letdown, it wasn’t crunchy and was actually hard to cut, which made it less enjoyable. The brownie, on the other hand, was a better choice, though still not the best I’ve had. The iced latte was refreshing but didn’t stand out either. It’s a decent spot, but I feel there’s room for improvement, especially with the pastry quality.

Inside A/C didn't work well, so it's too hot on a sizzling day. They should check A/C before opening the store. But cappuccino was good. Cookies are tasty.

A beautiful space with disappointing coffee and pastries I really wanted to love this place. The vibe is great—cozy, inviting, and full of potential. The owner and staff are friendly, and I appreciate the warmth of the atmosphere. It's the kind of coffee shop you want to root for. But unfortunately, the quality of the coffee and baked goods just didn't live up to the charm of the space. I ordered a double espresso hoping for a bold, rich flavor, but it was weak and barely tasted like coffee. My friend felt the same. The pastries looked absolutely delicious in the display case, but that promise didn't carry through in the taste. The apple turnover had no apples inside—just a puff of empty pastry. The cinnamon raisin Danish was dry and bland, without any depth of flavor. It felt like a complete waste of calories, which is a shame at this price point. To top it off, service was surprisingly slow. There were only a few people in the shop when we arrived, but it still took quite a while to get our order. I truly wish the food and drinks matched the heart and vibe of the place. I’d love to come back if the quality improves, because everything else about this shop deserves success.

This place looked really cute and staff seemed really nice, so was excited to try a local spot. Unfortunately the quality and service here is bad. I ordered a matcha and a lox omelet. The matcha tastes nothing like a matcha. It tastes like chai. What am I drinking? Scary. The lox omelet- the lox was not in it, neither was the cheese, nor any feta on top. See photos. Just eggs and onions. I'm shocked because there is no way an employee didn't do this on purpose. You don't just forget more than half the ingredients of a dish and not notice how empty it is. So I have to wonder what kind of people work here. I had a guest visiting from out of town and her mocha was fine at least. But wow $13+ for an egg with onions.
