Comma Cafe

Don’t believe the hype, dear friends.
One star for the open hours.
Another for the blue lemonade.
I’ve been here only a handful of times. The main reason I stray away is because the vicinity is too often surrounded by smokers. Now, nothing against smoking people. You do what you want, we get it. But from what I witnessed, it is quite often the employees who go out to smoke right in front of the door, which they keep wide open. When I’m suffering from asthma or a cold, I don’t want to be inhaling second-​hand smoke, do you understand? Ze world doesn’t revolve around zyou.
The muffins ($ 3) are sitting there on display and are heated up when purchased. On my most recent visit, we got the french vanilla (?) muffin and the double chocolate chip (?) muffin. Both did not taste fresh, wasn’t tasty, didn’t meet our expectations, yada yada yada, negative negative negative. The double chocolate muffin should’ve been extra chocolate-​y according to its title. But no. We were fooled. We didn’t finish either one because they were just that unsatisfying. Mind you, there were three of us.
The blue lemonade tasted like lemonade, like it should! If I were to ever come back I would, without a thought, order that one again. It looks blue-​tiful and tasted good too. I can see it being the perfect drink to sip on during the summer time.
Maybe it’s the days I stop by but I never met a friendly employee here. And that is all I have to say about that.
They have a PC «room» in the back along with snacks and cup noodles. People tend to get loud as they laugh like hyenas in the front of the screen. But I guess… #gamers?

Fantastic green tea latte and cute environment to study in. They offer cooked breakfast as well as muffins and croissants. Cold premade sandwiches are available for $ 8… for $ 8 the bread should not be so stale… also the cigarette stink from people smoking outside wafts all the way inside every time the door opens. Wouldnt mind coming back but probably not to stick around too long.

Depending on the day, it can be quite quiet.
Recommends: Hot chocolate (the original and not the white chocolate).

This is by far my favorite café in the neighborhood. I like their cozy environment and the music. I spent the whole afternoon studying there without being disturbed but gets busier towards evening time. The coffee was ok not the best though.
There’s an internet bar at the back so there are people walking in and out and even smoke outside the café, which could be disturbing to some.

This is my go-​to coffee shop in the neighborhood. The owner, Kenny, is super friendly and accommodating no matter what time of the day I pop in.
Walking in, you can notice the many interesting relics placed thru out the cozy café, which creates an artsy and quaint environment to get some work done, but best of all, they make bold, non-​watered down iced coffee in the summer — a necessity for me. (Not sure why all the other coffee shops in the area can’t get it right.)
Their muffins, macarons, and treats are always good to grab on the go with your coffee/​tea if you have to catch the LIRR right across the street.
And there are adorable organic flower/​soy candles sold here as well. Makes a great and unique gift! Stop by if you’re in the neighborhood, Comma really has something for everybody.

Good café. The «frappes» are tasty and well-​priced. There’s a PC-​bang (internet café) portion with around 20 PCs where kids are always playing league of legends and csgo. It’s a pretty chill and very hipster café.
There are kids always smoking right outside which kinda ruins it at times…

Friendly employees.
Nights are packed. Steer clear if the smell of cigarettes gets to you. PC café can get rowdy at times.
Mornings and afternoons are peaceful. Good place to study. Good wifi.
Coffe good. Tea good. Pressed juices are awesome.

Internet café. Didn’t know they still existed! Service blah. Had the strawberry lemonade. Smells like people must smoke in there when it’s closed or when they know no one is going to report them.

The kiwiade was yum! This café is a little too dark for me. The interior felt grimy since the tables were painted black. I think they can improve on the inside architecture. Other than that, it was a good café!

Fan of green tea latte here, milk and sweetness reach a good mix and the environment is good for chilling. Music playing is good and you can always see there are people coming in with friendly smiles and greeting to the workers as they are friendly too. Also! It’s an Internet café too! You can play games here when you are bored with just chilling. Come here or stay home.

This is probably my favorite café in the area. Seating can be somewhat limited when it gets busy, but i come at odd hours anyway.
The lattes are great. Coffee is always fresh. No complaints here. I can unpack and work without being disturbed for really long periods of time.
Highly recommended

Great café. I heard their brownies and muffins taste good! But their coffee is what I loveeeeee. I always take mine with ice soymilk and sugar. And all coffees taste different but this place tastes the BEST PERIOD. Out of all the bakeries in flushing. That is all.

This place is just plain awesome. When you walk in the first thing you’ll notice is the well thought out interior design that was put into this place. The staff are nice, and their pastries are one of the best. All of their ingredients are natural and high quality. The best part of this place is their hours. Their open till 2am and the night owl that I am, it allows me to visit whenever I’m awake.

I wish every café were like this place! when you order a lemonade, grapefruit-​ade, etc, they use actual fruit in the drink and make it when you order it! if I could drink fruit drinks everyday, I would go here everyday and order it everyday! their selection of sandwiches are ok. they tend to be on the smaller side for the price, but ingredients are fresh. and the best part about comma café? outlets all around the café for plugging in your devices!!!

Not the place to go for a midnight snack. But it seems like a decent spot for some online gaming and perhaps coffee…

Of all the cafés in Queens and the city, this one should be one of your last stops. I only come here in the summer for their iced coffee since it’s fresh and refreshing before heading to work on the LIRR (conveniently located across the street).
I ordered an amaretto latte today and the carrot cake muffin. First issue — my «barista» free-​poured about an inch of amaretto syrup into a 12 oz cup. I understand amaretto syrup is light in flavor, but trying to give me diabetes to compensate is not the answer; I chose this flavor exactly for its underwhelming taste.
Second issue — the carrot cake muffin. The «barista» pulled the oldest trick in the book to make it appear fresh. He nuked it for 30 seconds in the microwave. I work in the food industry so I should have guessed by the cracked, dry cream cheese frosting on top that it was old, but I was desperate for something to nom on with my coffee; plus I was hopeful it wasn’t THAT stale. When I went to break into it, the cake was dry and the outer edges were crispy. To make it worse, even after the 30-​second heating, the frosting on top still wasn’t soft. Talk about appetizing for $ 7.25.
Going to avoid this place until warmer weather allows for iced coffee. Til then, I’ll be sticking to Bakery de Paris 2 blocks away.

Probably ONE of if not THE best café I’ve been to in Queens. I use the term loosely because everyone’s café needs can be quite different. For me, it’s everything that I look for in a café.
There’s an insane amount of parking since it’s located across the street from the LIRR station. There’s always a bunch of seating available unless you wind up here on a weekend.
The coffee here is great. The staff takes their time with each other and doesn’t rush through it even if they get insanely busy. It’s a small staff but they’re all genuine and I find it refreshing that they remember your name and your favorite orders. It’s little things like that that make people want to come back.
I haven’t tried many of their pastries but their new sandwiches and wraps are awesome. You wouldn’t think that a small café like this could produce some decent sandwiches but it’s definitely worth a go if you’re hungry.
They used to have a TV with an XBOX and PS attached to it but they recently got rid of it. No love lost here since they kept the couch which is a definite plus.
All in all, the coffee is good, the people are really chill and friendly. it’s a great place to catch up with some friends or if you wanna get lost in your studies with some music.

This is my go-​to spot when I’m feening for some CS: GO. They have about 20 computers which get filled up quick depending on the day and time you go. I try to avoid going on weekends because it’s usually jam packed.
They have a wide selection of super delicious beverages. Their iced coffee and fruit frappes are very good and they also have unique drinks like kiwi lemonade.
For $ 3 an hour, get gaming.

The café offers a nice environment to chat and study. The wooden tables gives off a cozy vibe but the wooden chairs may leave your butt tired after a while. (but the same goes for uncushioned chairs)
They play a variety of classical and jazz music which may be beneficial for getting work done. Music with lyrics may be distracting at times and the café won’t blast dubstep or edm like other cafes.
However, there is an internet café as well as a PS3/​X-​Box section in the back. Beware of gamers yelling and cussing at each other in the background.
The place also gets crowded during midterm and final week with students taking advantage of the 24 hour café to get their last minute (or not) studying done.
I usually just grab a cup of coffee for 2 bucks (taste ok) for the space I occupy.
overall good versatile place :)

This place is such a cute hidden gem. When I first walked into the café, I felt like I was in some Korean drama; that’s how the layout/​table settings made me feel. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. This café is open until 3am everyday! They have a ps4 & xbox gaming station in the back as well as a small internet café area. This place is a good place to study or to have coffee dates. I had the iced cappuccino during my first visit but I will be back to try the potted teas.
