Crema's Take
“Zaruma Gold brings authentic Ecuadorian coffee culture to Long Island City with genuinely excellent espresso drinks and fresh-baked pastries that draw locals who actually know the country's coffee tradition. The spacious, family-friendly vibe makes it equally suited for a quick cappuccino or a lingering breakfast, and regulars rave about both the cold brew's balance and the surprisingly excellent bacon egg and cheese sandwiches.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Solid coffee shop in LIC! I believe there’s another location in Brooklyn. I got a cold brew and I liked how it was strong but not bitter. This place is spacious and it looks like you can also dine here for all day breakfast. There’s a couch area and tables along the wall. They…
