Sweetleaf
Description
In the shadow of the Pulaski Bridge sits Sweetleaf, this longtime Long Island City shop is a veritable coffee nerd nirvana. One of the first NYC coffee bars to sell the now well-known and loved Stumptown coffee, Sweetleaf remains on caffeine’s cutting edge, serving as Queens’ first pour-over coffee bar. The café also boasts an array of baked-on-site pastries, including scones, muffins, cookies and cakes. They have two other locations in LIC; Queens Plaza and Center Boulevard (which also serves cocktails).
