It's a great place to consider if you're a local or if you're passing by. The staff is friendly and their coffee is pretty good.

To be clear, this Coffee Monster is not a destination (#1). It is however, a solid neighborhood option for a coffee meeting, caffeine hit, or a place to work and study. More importantly, it outshines its sister locations in better service, cleanliness, while offering a solid array of drinks. It doesn't look large on the outside, but the inside offers plenty of seating. I appreciate the casual yet low key vibe, speedy WiFi, and clean bathrooms. Even during their usual morning rush hour, the crowds are never too overwhelming here (#2) and it's a super ideal spot for an impromptu meeting. There are a lot of interesting drink choices that include flavored lattes (red bean, tiramisu, etc.), bubble teas, and a very strong house drip. They have a lot of classic cafe items such as macchiatos, affogato, cold brew, and matcha / chai options as well. They're mostly average to good and they're consistent with it. Those coffee light bulb jugs are creative and make for a quality photo opp The food is not often talked about, but the croffle was a big driver in getting new folks here. it was crunchy and quite complementary with the coffee. They also have a daily selection of muffins, desserts, that are solid in a pinch but not a reason to be here. Lastly, I appreciate the young staffers behind the counter. They are always patient and professional and never hassle for gratuity. Drinks were made in a timely manner and they were good about making everyone in my group feel welcome. ____________ (#1) Also, neither is Whitestone, Queens. (#2) Unlike their Flushing location. Yeesh.

The staff all look like they may have voted for Biden. But put aside politics for a second and they were all honestly really nice and I didn't feel uncomfortable ordering from them. Their cookies are delicious! Super yummy. Almost like Enteman's mini cookies. The code can be made 100 different ways. I got it the way I get it everywhere: Medium Hot with two cream one sugar. Piping hot, and delicious! A bit pricy, but would recommend to anyone with social anxiety for it seems to have drawn just that type of crowd. Seating makes you feel like you're in a food court at the mall. A food court at the mall in perhaps an Asia. country.

Coffee were good! Very limited items to eat especially for Keto. My husband had their chocolate muffin and said it was very good. Banana was more dense. Moca coffee was excellent and cappuccino was good. Over all place was clean coffee was great. They had great games to selections to play. Good hangout

Amazing 5/5 !!! Tried the red bean shaved ice and mango shaved ice, and I was very impressed!! Both were very sweet and the toppings blended very well with the ice. Definitely recommend both!

I've been a fan of Coffee Monster since they opened their tiny first location and introduced NYC to the real milk snow shaved ice that hails from Korea. And with visits to their other location in Murray Hill, we stopped by this latest location in Whitestone yesterday. A medium sized location, enough seats and their usual offerings - this is a great addition to the local neighborhood and on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty much at capacity. This location also offers board games for free play, so something a bit different outside the busier locations. Their shaved ice (bingsu) is always a must. And albeit the higher price of $19.50, the size is Monster, and very big - larger than all other cafes offering bingsu. My go-to is always the 15 Grain (Misugaru) which is the most classic option. So good once all mixed together and slightly melted! Also recommend - the freshly made Croffles - so delish!

my son and I love this neighborhood coffee shop I wish they would bring back the out door seating so we can bring our dog :( Here's my pup waiting with us in the car to get our coffee :(

Very convenient cafe. Lots of free street parking available. They have a stamp card for drinks - get one free after 9 medium drinks. Chill vibes with good amount of seating. 12/14/22 - House Drip is dark roast from DeMarco. It's super dark and taste kinda like an espresso. Nutella croffle is good. It is crispy outside, soft inside, with enough Nutella on top for flavor but not overpowering it. Watch out for the speed cameras on 154 Street.

Awesome cafe to grab a drink or a small bite. They even have shaved ice dessert items on their menu as well. The pricing on the items are fair for the portion size. I've been here multiple times to get work done and they have ample outlets available along the walls and fast Wi-Fi. Also a great spot to catch up with friends. Residential parking available and generally easy to find a spot. Wonderful addition in the neighborhood!
