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!

An absolute amazing well made barista espresso based coffee, this is one of the best coffees I’ve had whilst in the US - flavoursome, smooth yet strong (I have 2% standard milk & loved it). It’s a great room, friendly staff; gorgeous to see both locals and tourists/travellers supporting the family run businesses in the surrounding streets.

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.

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.
