Customer Reviews
Nice small place clean very friendly stuff. She gave me last coffee that they have left even tho its 45min left till they close. Coffee tastes good little strong but nice. Free mini donuts 🍩 good taste delicious thank you. Will return if will be in the area 👍🏼
Honestly, I just can’t understand all the positive reviews. My flat white was completely watery, even though I asked beforehand for something creamier and about the milk options. The cashier wasn’t really friendly either. And even though I was there in person, no one asked if everything was okay. I got a simple coffee with mik. For me, this was a complete surprise. And then I wonder where all the good reviews come from.
I absolutely LOVE Balancero Coffee! hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried so many places. I’m very picky when it comes to coffee, and they not only meet my standards, they go above and beyond every time. The staff are literally so kind and welcoming, it makes every visit feel special. Even though the space is small, it’s so cozy and inviting, and it really feels like a little community inside. As a true coffee addict, I can confidently say this is my favorite spot. I love this place so much. Best coffee shop in Queens, no question. 🤍☕️
I asked if I could use the restroom if I buy something, and the barista was kind enough to say I can just use the bathroom. Of course I got something. And since this was my first time, he gave me an extra mini-choco donut! Woohoo. Only outdoor seating but they’ve created a very positive friendly atmosphere here. Love it!
It’s a little spot and has a bit of a charm with it. Stopped by here cause I’ve heard of it over the years and was right next door to where I was. Their coffee was great and they even gave a free mini donut (vanilla filled and was really good!). They take card and tap, and they do have a bunch of dessert options. They are pretty much open on all days and the barista is a sweet lady and helpful. Meter parking is available around the block and in front of the cafe. Definitely worth the reviews and I do plan to stop by here next time I’m around for another cup.
