Stop planning your day around coffee shop wait times. Our self-service machines deliver cafe-quality drinks faster than most people can decide what to order.
No more standing behind someone ordering complicated drinks for their entire office. No more wondering if today’s latte will taste like yesterday’s because a different person made it. No more rushing out the door with mediocre coffee because the good place had a twenty-person line.
You walk up, select your drink, get exactly what you ordered, and leave. The entire process takes less than two minutes. That’s time back in your day for things that actually matter—like catching your train to Manhattan or getting to that gallery opening in the arts district.
We exist because Long Island City deserves better than the usual coffee shop experience. This neighborhood attracts people who chose proximity to Manhattan, world-class art venues, and waterfront views—people who value efficiency as much as quality.
We’re located steps from MoMA PS1 and blocks from Court Square station because we understand the rhythm of LIC life. Artists heading to openings, professionals commuting across the bridge, students burning the midnight oil—everyone needs reliable coffee that fits their schedule, not the other way around.
Self-service technology isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about cutting wait times while maintaining the consistency that busy people depend on. We’ve been serving the creative energy of Long Island City since day one, and we’ll keep doing it as long as this neighborhood keeps growing.
Touch the screen. Choose your drink from over twenty options—everything from black coffee to oat milk lattes. Customize size, strength, and milk preferences with a few taps.
Insert your card, use mobile payment, or feed cash into the machine. The system grinds fresh beans, controls water temperature to the degree, and extracts your drink using precise timing and pressure.
Grab your coffee and go. The machine cleans itself between drinks, so the next person gets the same quality experience you just did. No human variables, no off days, no wondering if the equipment was properly maintained.
Ready to get started?
We’re open 24/7 because Long Island City operates on more than standard business hours. Early commuters catching the 6 AM train, artists working late in nearby studios, weekend visitors exploring the waterfront—everyone finds what they need here.
Our self-service machines stock over twenty drink combinations with alternative milk options and seasonal specialties. Prices stay competitive because we don’t have the overhead of traditional cafes. Basic coffee starts around $2, specialty drinks range from $3-5, and you see exactly what you’re paying before you order.
Our location puts you walking distance from major transit hubs and the cultural attractions that make LIC special. Court Square station, Gantry Plaza State Park, the growing gallery scene—we’re positioned where the neighborhood’s energy intersects with practical convenience. You’re not just getting coffee. You’re getting coffee that understands this place and the people who choose to be here.
Our self-service machines eliminate guesswork and wait times. You select your drink from a clear digital menu, customize size and milk preferences, then pay with card, phone, or cash. The machine grinds fresh beans and prepares your drink in under two minutes.
Each machine maintains professional brewing standards—precise water temperature, optimal extraction time, and consistent pressure. The automated process removes human error and delivers identical quality every time. You don’t need training or coffee expertise. The interface guides you through each step clearly.
Over twenty drink combinations are available, from simple black coffee to specialty lattes with oat, almond, or soy milk. All prices display upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges. What you see on the screen is exactly what you pay.
We operate 24/7, every day of the year. Self-service technology means quality coffee is available whenever you need it—6 AM before your Manhattan commute or 11 PM during a late work session.
Our location in Long Island City’s arts district puts you blocks from Court Square subway station and walking distance from MoMA PS1. Multiple transit lines including the E, M, and 7 trains make us accessible from Manhattan and throughout Queens.
Our 24-hour schedule serves LIC’s diverse community. Artists, professionals, students, and shift workers all maintain different schedules, and traditional cafe hours don’t match everyone’s needs. We’re here when you need us, not when it’s convenient for staff scheduling.
Our machines provide a complete range of coffee drinks at competitive prices. Basic coffee starts around $2, while specialty lattes and cappuccinos range from $3-5. Self-service efficiency keeps costs lower than traditional cafes without compromising quality.
Available options include espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, and cold brew variations. You can customize with alternative milks (oat, almond, soy) and adjust strength and size preferences. Seasonal specialties rotate throughout the year based on customer preferences.
All pricing displays clearly on the machine interface before ordering. You see exactly what each customization costs, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. The transparency extends to ingredients—you know exactly what goes into your drink.
Quality consistency is actually our biggest advantage over traditional cafes. Our machines grind fresh beans for every cup and control water temperature, extraction time, and pressure to exact specifications. No human variables means no off days or rushed preparation during busy periods.
Daily maintenance includes restocking fresh beans, calibrating brewing parameters, and cleaning all components. The machines undergo regular professional servicing to maintain optimal performance. This systematic approach delivers more consistent results than cafes relying on staff training and mood variations.
The technology ensures perfect brewing conditions every time. No wondering if today’s coffee will taste different from yesterday’s, no disappointment from inexperienced staff, no compromised quality during peak hours. Just reliable, cafe-standard coffee whenever you want it.
Street parking is readily available throughout Long Island City, with both metered and free options depending on location and time. The neighborhood offers significantly more parking availability than Manhattan, making us convenient for drivers from other areas.
Several nearby parking garages provide hourly and daily rates for guaranteed spots. However, many customers prefer our public transit accessibility—Court Square station serves multiple subway lines just blocks away.
The combination of quick self-service (under two minutes total) and available parking makes us an efficient stop whether you’re commuting, running errands, or exploring LIC’s arts scene. You can park, get coffee, and continue your day without the delays typical of traditional cafes.
The fundamental difference is eliminating wait times while guaranteeing consistency. Other cafes create bottlenecks during peak hours and deliver varying quality depending on staff experience and energy levels. Our machines provide identical, high-quality results in under two minutes, every time.
Our 24/7 availability serves Long Island City’s diverse schedules. Traditional cafes typically close by early evening, but creativity and deadlines don’t follow business hours. We recognize that this neighborhood attracts people who work and create on their own timelines.
We focus exclusively on delivering excellent coffee efficiently. We’re not trying to be a social hub or co-working space. We understand that LIC residents and visitors often have specific destinations—MoMA PS1, Manhattan offices, waterfront parks—and need reliable fuel for those journeys, not another place to linger.
