Sweetleaf Coffee
10-93 Jackson Ave.
Looking and feeling like it could be in the Village, this cozy coffeehouse is actually in Queens. Pick a pastry—perhaps a savory pepper-pear scone or an oversize cookie—to enjoy with your drink. Everything at Sweetleaf Coffee is prepared in an onsite kitchen that you can observe through windows. I sipped a thick and dark hot chocolate, while my companion enjoyed a sweet and creamy Vietnamese-style iced Voodoo Child coffee. Music featured the Talking Heads and edgy tunes from the ‘60s.
Opened only in 2008, this tiny spot is the original Sweetleaf cafe—there are now three—and it has actually tripled in size since opening. Situated with an atmospheric 19th-century building, it features original walls and a tin ceiling. Though small, seating areas include overstuffed chairs by the sunny front windows, a designated laptop room, and a record room in the back where you can man a turntable and choose from several hundred old-time records.
