Beanstalk Cafe

Cute cafe with seasonal offerings of different drinks. The food has always been good there and the staff is SO NICE AND AMAZING. This fall 2025 they have this cute GHOST LATTE! it made me so happy! The staff put so much love and effort into this creation

Love the oatmeal. Update: I stopped coming here when the person I’d pick my order up from, Kevin, always gave me shit about asking for a spoon in person. For one reason or another Kevin would say I’d need to request utensils on DoorDash even though id explain i only comes once a week because i drop my friend off at work and she orders it for me on her DD but either way DD doesn’t allow my friend to request anything, he’s expecting her to type in a spoon every time in the “request” section for reasons like “trying to save the earth or trying to save the time because they’re busy (store would be completely empty when I came in too) he’d then would proceed to waste 2 minutes each time explaining why asking for a spoon in person is harming the environment or wasting his time. What an annoying experience I allowed self to endure.

10/10 for friendly staff and vibes! 0/10 for the matcha strawberry latte. It tastes very gritty, artificial, and just…bad. Super cute place, but will not order this again.

Decent iced coffee and food 4 ⭐. I'm giving a 3 ⭐ for service because I ordered the veggie egg omelet (this was breakfast) and when they put it in it showed rainbow veggie, so I called it out, and they said it was fine. I don't know it was because I didn't speak clearly or they didn't hear me clearly, but I ended up with a rainbow veggie which was a lunch sandwich. When the cook came out with my order, for some reason, before either of us speaking a word, she immediately went back in, as if she knew something was wrong 😄, and a minute later she came out again and told me rainbow veggie was a lunch sandwich, and gave me back $4. Frankly at that point I was disappointed because they got my order wrong even after I pointed it out, but once I got home the rainbow veggie was not half bad (as mentioned above I give it 4 ⭐), so that offset the 3 ⭐ service to end up with 4 ⭐ overall.

This place is fantastic! Great food, fast service, and polite, friendly employees. We tried almost everything on the menu, and while everything was delicious, I highly recommend the chicken avocado burger, pesto sandwich, and the PBB shake. That combo has definitely become my go-to order. If you’re looking for a place with great food and excellent service, you can’t go wrong here 🤘🏻

This place is always a treat to come to. Staff is always very accommodating and food and drinks are prepared with care. It’s small but seats a good amount. Great vibe. Summer Watermelon slush was great

This is another one of those NYC gems. The food is beyond amazing and the coffee is of satiating quality. Not only is the interior aesthetic both rustic and steampunk, but the service workers are always so sweet and incredibly nice. This goes especially for Shao! I would recommend an Oatmilk Ice latte and one of their fantastic breakfast sandwiches. They also have plenty of other delicious snacks and breakfast pastries to pleasure your palette. P.S. It’s also conveniently located right outside the G train’s 21st-Van Alst. Station!

Cute and small little cafe that I chilled once to kill my time before an appointment that I had that day. I guess it’s not fair to judge them by just one menu one drink, but matcha latte I got didn’t really have its matcha powder dissolved very well and I had to swallow some small chunks of those, so it was quite unpleasant. Would be willing to try their food menu because I was intrigued but might not happen cause I don’t come to this area almost at all.

Decent spot for coffee and also offer food options. There are high top tables in the back as seating and pretty friendly service

Food is always fine, matcha is grainy but I keep going back because its one of the only cafes near my office. But... when you order for pickup they'll have you waiting for 15 minutes while your food is ready. I walked in, told my name/order, told it wasn't ready, then had to ask again when it had been sitting there.

Customer service is always amazing the vibe is great especially in morning great place to start your morning and the ice chai is amazing

Service ; 5 starts Ambience: 5 starts Food: I won't come back to get a bacon egg and cheese here. Coming into a place like this you'd expect it to be on a tastier side. But the sandwich was nothing better than a regular $4 bodega sandwich. Lacked taste, juiciness, overcooked. Maybe the eggs are of a better quality than a bodega but I think they would've mentioned it on the menu. So $8 for a ehh sandwich is a no no

We were so happy to find this spot! We intended to spend a day a in NYC between flights in Manhattan, but shock...subway system went down and couldn't get over there. 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 place is ADORABLE. But blink and you'll miss it as the outside decor doesn't stand out too much. Make it inside and you've stepped into a funky cafe with a super fun menu that makes it hard to choose from. Three words: iced-sunset-tea Saw it on the menu with no description underneath. I must have been feeling lucky because I didn't even ask about it. I just ordered and and when I got what I actually ordered I was in awe. Not only was this iced tea stunning with a unique display of ombré purple into orange, it just tasted like a summer sunset. It was stunning. Sweet, but not too sweet. There are several seats where people can sit to work or chill with a friend, but it's not ginormous. The vibe is super chill and this was such a great find in LIC. Last, but not least, I ordered a BLT and although not anything particularly unique, I would say this traditional BLT hit the spot and was just what I was looking for.

Very cute coffee shop that also serves breakfast, sandwiches, and soups. We ordered two iced coffees. It cost about $3 for a 16oz iced coffee, very reasonable pricing. It's right next to the G station 21st stop. Great service! It's a small spot so not much space to sit down, it's more of a grab and go place. I would come back to try the breakfast bagel sandwiches.

Entirely satisfying without compromise. The meal was exactly what I wanted. The taste was beyond words good. Their employees ensured I felt welcomed and responded to queries enthusiastically. This place guarantees a good experience.

This is a great little cafe near my house. I ordered a strawberry matcha and the flavor was great and the sausage egg and cheese was very juicy and hot. The staff also seem to have a great relationship with their regulars and it just is nice to find a real neighborhood spot rather than a chain.

We order lunch from here at work. It's a cute family business. This is my second time having it and i must say they do not disappoint. They have lunch specials. I got soup and sandwiches. The first time i got lentil soup when i opened the cup it looked a little bland . Do not let your eyes deceive you. That soup was delicious very flavorful. This time i ordered chicken noodle. Omg!! It felt like my Puerto Rican grandma made it lol the flavor, they use tri color pasta and wow it's amazing. The sandwich i ordered i forgot the fill name but it's the chicken with pesto. I had it both times i really enjoyed that sandwich full of grilled white meat. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is because they don't deliver. But we still order and pick it up. Definitely worth it

yum! rlly solid breakfast spot , i recommend grabbing some bites and picnicking by gantry park! the food: i got the spicy tuna wrap and BLT bagel with egg. the wrap was filled with crunchy veggies but a little mayo heavy, next time i would love to try one of the sandwiches as a wrap instead! the space: fairly small, only a few seats the service: kind!

Good for a little snack I ordered the toast with avocado egg a little bit of cheddar cheese and I got a whole wheat bread instead of the sourdough!

I used to roll my eyes at those who would spend $10 on avocado and bread...well, today I've turned that ship around! This is...quite possibly...the best thing I've ever eaten! I would spend $20 on this - it's so fresh and the egg is cooked to perfection - couldn't believe it stayed in tact via delivery!!! I also made a slight change to my order and Beanstalk was super accommodating! So long bodega breakfast sandwiches, hello guilt free healthy deliciousness!! Cannot recommend enough!

I love love this place for lunch and breakfast!!! They have really great prices at this location. Its pretty small so it more of a grab and go place. The coffee prices on specialty items are priced good. $5.25 for a pumpkin off menu spiced latte. I tried an item called the Thanksgiving sandwich. Make sure you ask for extra cranberry. I definitely will when I order them again. The sandwich has turkey, bacon, onions, cranberry, cheese, lettuce and tomato. So much flavor but it was a little dry due to a small amount of cranberry sauce. My go to for breakfast is their Sunnyside up eggs with cheese, bread, potatoes and tomatoes. I always ask for the cheese on the side so its not thrown on the eggs. Dipping the bread in eggs is so delicious. Pickup is super easy and everything is done in fifteen minutes or less. When I order for delivery its under 30 minutes. I order from them a lot so its nice knowing I will not bite into a shell, unlike other places in the area.

Great drink menu and excellent sandwiches. We had an iced latte, iced americano and one of the fruit tea choices. All very good. I favor the iced americano with a dash of cream. The sandwiches were well made, great ingredients and tasty! Tried a traditional breakfast sandwich, the balsamic chicken, and turkey avocado chipotle which was the group favorite. Enjoyed everything we tried. Small place with limited seating but a relaxed pleasant atmosphere.

Super cozy unassuming spot right outside the G train! Was honestly just looking for a place to kill some time so i was really pleasantly surprised by the cozy ambiance and the delicious peach green tea. The tea actually had little chunks of peach in it which i thought was a Great touch! They also have free wifi but no restroom.

Definitely a win at this place. On the menu they have such a variety of drinks and food (sandwiches/soups mostly). The only reason I came is because the deli on the other corner ran out of chicken. What? I got the Avocado Sunny Egg - I was hesitant about it because I noticed it was only one slice of bread.... for almost $9. I'd say that's a little absurd. But, unfortunately I was starving and didn't care to walk very far from where I was. My order was extremely delicious. I'm actually surprised I was full afterwards. I loved how it tasted freshly made. It wasn't normal starbucks, already-made-pay-a-fortune-for-it-to-be-heated-in-the-microwave type of deal. I would say everything was perfect. But the price was way too high for me, it's LIC I guess - should I expect anything less?

If you want a quick, clean, delicious, tranquil and low cost breakfast or lunch in Long Island City, definitely check out Beanstalk Cafe! I ordered the Overnight Chia Seed with Mixed Berries which had a fresh and delish vanilla flavor topped with thinly chopped strawberries and blueberries. I added an everything bagel with a side of cream cheese and an "Espresso Frappuccino" with soy milk. My whole body and soul feel refreshed by the happy and calm vibe and the excellent home cooked food. I would totally come back here. Special tip--it's right by the "G" train for those of you visiting.

So today was the first day I visited beanstalk cafe and it was a great choice beanstalk cafe is such a cozy lil cafe it's definitely beautiful inside the staff were good the food was Definitely delicious. I got myself a sausage egg and cheese on a roll and it was great I also got myself an iced latte their lattes are amazing I recommend anybody to try out their lattes The cafe is definitely going to be my new place to go cause they have a bunch of different coffee's and drinks I never heard of so am curious to try some that i never heard of. I definitely recommend anybody to stop by the location its next to the train so if you get out of the g definitely please go check it out I really hope this location stays open for a while. The location is very convenient if you're ether going to work or getting out of work the staff were fast they weren't rude. So go check it out It's a all around great place to go if your going to work and you need your morning caffeine.

Had one of the best salads of my life at this Long Island City Restaurant: so fresh, great combo of ingredients and dressing. Fun little place with cool decor and a small bit of seating. Our server was extra friendly and talkative. All made for an outstanding experience.

Love this little coffee shop , They have many options such as coffee , lattes , frappes , slushie, milkshake , ice tea and food options as well . Place is very clean and food and drink is placed on a table so you don't have to make Contact with the server . They are following CDC guild lines and staff are very nice

just picked up 3 delish pastries, love the ambiance as "your favorite cafe" unlike other chain cafes, less of pressure & more of individuality, the lady served was very nice & pleasant, love seeing other customers relaxing & enjoying, it's tiny but located very conveniently just outside of 21 Station @ G line (or a short walk from Court Square @ E line), will try their coffee next time, love the woody decor too, makes me very calm & comfortable :)

Had a doc appointment in the area and needed a quick bite and some caffeine. Found this place right outside the train station so major plus. The menu is pretty impressive for a spot this quaint. There were 2 other people dining in - bar stools and counter tops. The cashier asked for my vaxx status when i asked if I could dine in. I ordered an almond milk latte with an extra shot of espresso and a toasted bagel with cream cheese. It was a cold day but the shop was warm and the latte piping hot. They brought my food over and i enjoyed a quiet meal people watching a few days after Christmas. The shop was very clean and the coffee and bagel were great. Nice spot and great location!

Great food. Good quality ingredients. Friendly staff. Nice decor. Great spot for me to get lunch on my break.

I have been ordering (delivery) group work lunches from this cafe about twice a month for over a year now. I rarely write reviews on Yelp but I felt I had to for Beanstalk Cafe because the food has been so consistently great. All of their food is super fresh, tasty, and feels healthy. I especially like their salads (which have huge portions) and sandwiches - also their smoothies! My go to is the falafel burger or an avocado egg sandwich, although lately I've also been ordering their beet and pear salad. Often I have to order from here for clients who come in and they always mention how they are surprised by the food being so tasty and filling. Very rarely if the cafe has run out of a particular ingredient for a sandwich, they always include an extra pastry as an apology. The cafe is a treasure in the neighborhood and I'll be more than happy to continue to order from them in the future.

Great cafe spot! Got a Bacon Cobb Salad for takeout from this place and thought it was pretty good. Also ordered the Chagaccino Latte from here once and thought it was good as well. It's a latte made from chaga mushrooms and has a nice cinnamon flavor. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Really enjoyed the iced peach tea "watered down" as it was much too sweet for me before. A decent amount of good study space, although I wish the chairs were comfier!

My boyfriend and I got two Everything Bagels with Cream Cheese, a hot Pumpkin Spice Latte and a hot coffee. The bagels were alright, tasted storebought unfortunately but I guess I shouldn't expect more from a non-bagel spot. Latte and coffee was alright, nothing mindblowing. Cute decor and sweet cashier!!

When you're not in the mood for any specific type of food, Beanstalk Cafe is a nice neighborhood place to grab a variety of things and they all taste delicious. Breakfast platters and sandwiches are great. Lunchtime sandwiches, paninis and salads are delicious. Smoothies and teas there are refreshing. Everything tastes great, it's fresh and prices are fair.

I need to get more items from this cafe but I ALWAYS get a Thai iced tea (normal sugar) with the chicken banh mi. I was surprised at how good the banh mi is...coming from someone who is Vietnamese! It definitely is filling because sometimes I don't even finish it in one sitting. It can get a bit messy with the spicy Mayo leakage but worth it-I also love that there is SO much cilantro, something I love. It's a cute cafe with other foods, so I need to come back but I cannot highly recommend the banh mi enough!

The beanstalk cafe is a super small place but there's so much on the menu including lots of fun drinks and a good hot breakfast selection. The bagel sandwich is good, and the bacon has a great texture to it. The staff is always very friendly.

Great fresh food. Polite service and welcoming smiles. I love this place! You do not go wrong with any of the sandwiches.

Stopped in for a quick coffee. Small place with a food/sandwich menu, and a few small tables. No bathroom for customers though.

Excellent breakfast spot! The latte and espresso were spot-on, and the breakfast sandwich was delicious. Quick, friendly service too. Highly recommended!

Pastry we're all fresh and delicious. Almond Croissant were really good and fresh. Many varieties of pastries to choose from all very good.

This place is incredible. The coffee and food are great. Slowly working my way down the entire menu. My only quarrel is this: the BLT only comes with one little piece of bacon. That's the only sandwich I'd stay away from. But my favorites: Chicken melt, bánh mi, chagaccino, latte, avocado/egg/Swiss on a bagel Other perks: food is fresh & ready FAST

Such a cute peaceful coffee shop. So many different types of drinks offered (strawberry matcha to cortados). The gentleman that was working was extremely kind and patient with my indecisiveness. He made me feel so welcome and made a super delicious caramel latte. Loved it!!!

Clean foods , the sandwiches could use some Improvements , salads are good. Prices are fair

Coffee is burnt - it's not that easy to mess up cold brew but they succeeded... congrats!

I have lived in the neighborhood for 14 years, and this cafe is a great addition. I'm a huge fan of LIC's other amazing cafes, and I wondered what Beanstalk could offer me coffee-wise. Well their rose and lavender lattes are incredible. Perfect balance of floral and sweet so they don't go too far either way. And their blue lemonade is a lovely treat; I've only found Butterfly Pea Flower Tea at one other tea house. Eventually I will try other drinks, but I'm so hooked on those floral lattes, it will be awhile. My husband says they make a really nice breakfast sandwich. My only request - please add more gluten free options so I can try more of your menu. Also they are doing a great job keeping things safe during COVID19, with a large plexiglass barrier, staff in mask and gloves, hand sanitizer by the card machine, and separate bench where they bring your orders. And the staff is very nice. Welcome to LIC!

Wow. I wasn't expecting such amazing food from this little cafe. They have a huge menu and I've only tried a few things which are consistently delicious. Most times we eat food like a chore but the sandwiches here make you stop and appreciate what you're eating. I always have the chicken avocado sandwich and it's always fresh, generous proportion and delicious!! One of the best grilled chicken sandwiches I've had. The soups are great too. Will try some more drinks now that summer is here. 1 star off because it's pricey..almost $14 with taxes for a sandwich.

Came here to try their food. But have only been getting their lemon grass bahn mi. It's not bad the sauce and the cilantro. But the chicken is a little bit dry. Something different than the deli around the corner. Will try other things on the menu

Came here today to try out their iced lemon passion tea and it wasn't satisfying at all taste like they over steep the hibiscus too much Tart I don't like it. They use Starbucks like quality hibiscus and over priced 7$

Great neighborhood cafe in LIC that has incredible selection of fresh, healthy foods, deli staples, and trendy coffees/teas. You get the small business vibe where the owners also help out and manage operations. Everyone is super friendly and accommodating - including Splenda or low sugar in beverages. COVID-safe operations with plastic barriers, social distancing, masks, gloves. Best thai iced tea in the neighborhood!

My new to go place in Lic. Convenient location good food. Want to try their salad next time.

Very unique latte flavors with cool ingredients. They have a mushroom latte which is actually worth trying. Also tried the butterfly tea latte, lasty with coconut milk. Recommed getting it iced.

I was impressed with their delivery. Ordered a latte, cold brew, and an oat meal which all were packed with such care. The coffees tasted amazing too.

Got a delicious, picture-perfect iced mocha this morning that was so good I had to grab another later in the day. The turkey avocado sandwich on toast was also very good. Definitely looking forward to visiting again soon!!

Great addition to the neighborhood. They have a wide variety of items on their menu and everything I've had so far has been delicious. My favorites are the Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi and the Thanksgiving Panini. Their prices are very fair and they offer solid portions. This is the perfect spot to pick up lunch in the middle of the day if you're working from home, like many of us are right now.
