This cafe is a much needed addition to the neighborhood. The food choices closeby are fairly atrocious 🙁 altho I haven't tried their coffee, I must rave about how delicious their sandwiches are, particularly the ham. They use the ham in bone type, so it's a really hearty helping of protein. I love their bread. The sandwich is soooo filling you will easily be full for 8 hours minimum. They are priced very reasonably for 7.50, with very quality ingredients. There's the option to add your choice of toppings. They use a mustard/mayo spread… Very delicious. Great lunch option.
Sometimes there are specials, I've seen chicken pot pie! There's a variety of pastries to go with your drink. And then there's their chocolate chip cookie. Admittedly it is quite salty, but nonetheless delicious. Priced at $2 but well worth it. They offer speciality teas and drinks as well.
This is a lovely cafe to sit and pass time. It's very clean and peaceful ambiance. Only semi gripe is, it's not very take out friendly. I ordered ahead and they needed a charge card beforehand, fair but $2 tip was charged without prior consent. I would be happy to tip but I would appreciate a heads up/or to be informed of a convenience fee, totally fair in my book. Maybe it's a hassle for call in orders, but be warned fellow yelpers.
Whether you live nearby, hanging at the cute park across the street, or just passing thru on your way to MoMA PS1, LIC Corner Cafe is your must-stop coffeeshop no matter what time of day.
With several pastries, savory items including frittatas, quiches, sandwiches, and seasoned twice baked potatoes (regular and sweet potato), and sweets such as decadent chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon sugar doughnut holes – you can't go wrong with anything you get. Since I mostly avoid carbs, I'm a huge fan of the frittatas and baked potatoes! Added bonus: most of their ingredients are sourced locally, including their milk for the coffee!
Speaking of their coffee, they are a purveyor or Toby's Estate beans – which is awesome! If you've have Toby's Estate elsewhere, then you know why this is such a bonus. Plus, their baristas are on point and are always very sweet. This is a locally-owned business, and one of the two owners is pretty much always there and happy to say hello. You can tell that every item prepared is made with true care and love for what they do. They do have a few tables to sit but keep in mind, you won't find any public bathrooms here. The park across the street has got you covered there.
Consistency is really important to me – that every latte, and every food item I order is always delicious, made well, and on point. They've got that to a T. LIC Corner Cafe is a great addition to the neighborhood and I'm very happy to have them nearby.
A cozy coffee shop with a strong emphasis on drinks, coffee, and small snacks/little bites. Unfortunately, I was thinking more of a meal when I decided to come out here for lunch. The lunch menu was more limited as there are a solid 5-7 solid options. I think the sandwich options could be expanded. I ordered the ham sandwich. The shop roasts their own ham which I appreciate. The sandwich was hearty- mainly due to the bread. It was overall a simple straight forward sandwich with fresh ingredients. Since I was hungry, I ordered a quiche to supplement my meal. The quiche had a blend of being light but yet very filling. I really recommend the quiche if you are stopping by. Overall a nice shop with friendly staff. I would bump up to 4 stars when the lunch option is expanded.
