Elbow Room - FLUSHING

Visited the place this morning! We tried everything bagel and apple danish, very delicious! and the lady who attended us was lovely and sweet.

I’m so sad. I used to love this place so so much. 60 year old man that has nothing better to do than cuss and yell. I was starting to become a new regular. I have came over the years for the bakery, but not the coffee. The new barista man was so rude to me on my third visit. This is over the course of a week. My first visit was not bad. He charged me $3.66 for an iced late with white chocolate and macadamia nut syrup. He poured so much syrup in it was probably 4 oz. The coffee did not need any half and half at all it was so sweet. You couldn’t even taste the coffee. The next time I go in, I ask him to make it with less syrup please. I order the exact same thing and he charges me $5.30. He made it different too, he used 4 shots of espresso which is insane. And about an entire cup of half and half. Gross! It tasted good but that’s an insane amount of caffeine. The next day I go in, I ask him; “do you have an iced coffee for $3.66 like you charged me the first time?” It was too expensive yesterday and I would like to order something cheaper, what do you have for around that price?” He slaps his hands on the table and says “I don’t give a damn what I charged you the first time this is what I’m charging you now.” And I tried to ask him why the price was different and what changed?” And he stands up, walks around the counter and gets closer and says I don’t care what you’re saying, it’s going to be $4.11 no matter what you say.” None of that was needed and he could’ve kindly recommended me with something more affordable or explained why the price changed. Highly disrespectful and unprofessional. I ended up leaving and going somewhere else. The bakery owner was there and apologized profusely and offered me something from the bakery. Go to the bakery, do not order coffee. :

The cutest little coffee shop in downtown Flushing. More people should know about this place, because it is amazing! The atmosphere is so nice and clean, and they even have an outdoor patio in the back. The bakery it is connected to is amazing as well! Highly recommend.

When i was young, i would go here for a “hot snowball” every winter day me and my brother got to play outside. those memories make me very fond of the place. the coffee is good and not too sweet, and the bakery is fantastic. my favorite pastry is the peach custard one. this is a amazing place to make memories. i plan on bringing my boyfriend of 2 years here one day…

Came back here because I recently remembered their INCREDIBLE bagels from years back when I used to work in the town, and decided to make a morning of it and try the connecting coffee shop too. Both the bakery woman and man at the coffee counter were very kind. Him especially, he showed patience, kindness and offered all solutions for what I was trying to get to drink. I did not end up liking the coffee but I think that’s just because I chose house brew with flavored syrup in an almond milk froth. The fancy drink probably are great! Anyway, I brought my cat and they were all for it and welcomed us back open armed. If you’re around the area, stop in! Cash or check only! Super affordable. Under $5 for both my coffee and bagel with cream cheese.
