"Hands down the best cafe I’ve ever been to in my life! Everything at Saint Chiara was absolutely perfect , the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, everything. It’s such an aesthetic and cozy spot, with so much attention to detail. A huge thank you to Enzo, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and even surprised us with complimentary sweets, such a thoughtful touch! I’ve been to countless cafes, but this one truly checks every box. I would 100% go back to Long Island City just for them. This place is a gem."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything I want is here. I come to this café all the time, and it never disappoints. I even celebrated my birthday with a beautiful breakfast here. The coffee is delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, and they even have little treats for my pets , which I love! The service is always kind and attentive. Highly recommended."

"I could say that Santa Chiara is my favorite café in New York. The pastries are delicious, the Nutella crepe makes me forget about counting calories, and the coffee is always perfect, but what I love most is that the staff is always so friendly. I love their accents, and I always let them know 😊. Emmanuel is charming, and Mary, who has already returned to Italy but whom I miss 🫶. I don't remember the names of the other people, but they are always kind and warm."

"This cafe offers a truly stunning blend of European lyricism, New York City passion and sophistication, and breathtaking views of Manhattan. The friendly and attentive Ms. Paulina always greets you with a warm greeting and welcom. She offers expert barista assistance with menu selections and recommendations, and the hand craft coffees, teas, and other beverages, along with baked goods, truly demonstrate the true value of this wonderful place. This is one of the few truly beautiful places in New York City. Membership through CashApp and/or phone offers numerous discounts, and you'll be impressed by the comfortable seating inside and outside the cafe, as well as the friendly services."

"A friend recommended this place for its great gelato and variety of coffee and tea drinks. Although I wasn’t in the mood for ice cream, I decided to try the tuna salad, flavored tea that was wonderful, and the chocolate mousse, which was decent. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the tuna, as it tasted like canned tuna with a metallic flavor from the tin. The place is self-serve, but the guy behind the counter was attentive and pleasant. However, many patrons don’t clean up after themselves, leaving dirty cups and dishes behind. As a result, new customers are often left to clean their own tables, especially when the place gets busy. The location is great! The view is fantastic. I’ll give it a try in the spring or summer."
