Concept Coffee
44-61 11th St, Queens, NY
Crema's Take
“Concept Coffee's Filipino-inspired signature drinks like the ube latte and buko pandan are the real draw here—expect creative, flavor-forward takes that go far beyond standard coffee shop fare. The matcha and pastries are solid too, and the owner's hands-on presence makes the vibe genuinely welcoming, though consistency with the espresso and steaming could use some tightening up. It's worth the trip if you're craving something with personality and don't mind that execution occasionally wavers.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

This is the best cafe in Long Island City! The Matcha and pastries are my go-to orders. Look for the friendliest barista, Alaina!
I want this place to be good since it’s on the way to my job but the Barista didn’t respond when I said hello. The coffee was burnt. The milk was poorly steamed. Maybe with a little more TLC this could hit the spot.
I was in the mood for something different than your standard fare coffee shop breakfast and Americano, so when I saw Concept Coffee has both Avocado Foccacia and Buko Pandan Latte, I made my way there. Both are pretty darn good, though just short of exceptional. The Buko…
