"Even when it's busy, Overflow Coffee is always an uncommonly pleasant place to get work done. The Long Island City coffee shop has lots of light, the wifi is fast, and outlets abound, as do folk songs by Noah Kahan and Bon Iver. Crucially, they pull a smooth, satisfying shot of espresso and serve pastries from Native Bread and Pastry in Brooklyn. (A generously cheesy parmesan thyme scone? Don't mind if we do.) And anyone with kids in tow can send them to the designated play area in the back of the cafe—just far enough away so neither the grownups click-clacking on their laptops nor the toddlers click-clacking with their blocks hinder each other’s good time. photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick photo credit: Molly Fitzpatrick" - Molly Fitzpatrick
