Our innovative self-serving coffee machines deliver consistently excellent drinks exactly when you need them. Whether you’re rushing to work, taking a break between meetings, or catching up with friends, you control the timing and the experience.
No more wondering if your order will be right. No more waiting while someone ahead of you changes their mind three times. Just walk in, select your perfect cup, and get on with your day.
We understand what Flushing residents and workers actually need from their coffee spot. We’re not trying to be the trendiest place in Manhattan or the cheapest option in Queens.
We’re focused on one thing: delivering quality coffee efficiently in a neighborhood that never stops moving. Flushing’s diverse, busy community deserves better than rushed service or inconsistent drinks.
That’s why we’ve invested in technology that ensures every cup meets our standards, whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth.
Walk in and approach any of our self-serving coffee machines. The touch screen interface guides you through options – from classic americanos to specialty lattes with your choice of milk alternatives.
Select your size, strength, and any customizations. The machine grinds fresh beans and prepares your drink using precise measurements and optimal brewing temperatures. Your coffee is ready in under two minutes.
Pay at the machine or at our counter, grab your drink, and you’re set. No complicated ordering process, no miscommunication, no waiting for someone else to finish making drinks ahead of yours. Just quality coffee, prepared exactly how you want it, when you want it.

Our self-serving machines offer the full range of coffee drinks you’d expect from any quality coffeehouse. Espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, and macchiato – all made with freshly ground beans and your choice of dairy or plant-based milk options.
In Flushing’s fast-paced environment, we know you need reliability. Our machines are maintained daily and calibrated for consistent taste and temperature. The coffee beans are sourced from quality suppliers and rotated regularly to ensure freshness.
We also understand Flushing’s diverse tastes. Whether you prefer a strong, simple espresso or a customized latte with oat milk and an extra shot, the machines accommodate your preferences without judgment or confusion.
Our self-serving machines use precise measurements, optimal brewing temperatures, and freshly ground beans for each drink. The machines are calibrated daily and maintained by trained technicians to ensure consistent taste and quality.
Each machine grinds beans immediately before brewing, so your coffee is always made with fresh grounds rather than pre-ground coffee that’s been sitting around. The brewing process follows exact specifications for timing, temperature, and pressure – the same standards professional baristas use, but with mechanical precision every time.
We monitor the machines throughout the day and replace coffee beans regularly to maintain freshness. If a machine isn’t performing to our standards, we take it offline immediately rather than serve subpar coffee.
The machines offer all standard coffee shop drinks: espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, and mocha. You can customize each drink with different milk options including dairy, almond, oat, and soy milk.
Size options range from small to large, and you can adjust coffee strength from mild to extra strong. The machines also handle specialty requests like extra shots, half-caff, or specific milk ratios for drinks like cortados or flat whites.
For those who prefer simpler options, you can get straight espresso shots or americanos with just hot water. The interface is intuitive – if you’re not sure about options, the screen provides clear descriptions of each drink type.
Yes, significantly faster in most cases. Once you select your drink, the machine prepares it in under two minutes regardless of how busy we are. There’s no waiting in line behind other customers or for staff to finish complex orders.
During peak hours, when traditional coffee shops have long lines, you can walk directly to an available machine and get your coffee immediately. We have multiple machines, so even when busy, wait times are minimal.
The payment process is also streamlined – you can pay directly at the machine with card or mobile payment, eliminating the separate transaction step. From walking in to walking out with your coffee typically takes three to four minutes total.
The quality is consistent and often superior to hand-made coffee because machines eliminate human error. Every shot is extracted at the exact same pressure and temperature, every milk is steamed to the precise texture and heat level.
Professional baristas have good days and off days, get distracted during rush periods, or might be new to the job. Our machines perform the same way every single time, following exact specifications that we’ve calibrated for optimal taste.
Many customers tell us they prefer the consistency of machine-made coffee because they know exactly what they’re getting. There’s no variation based on who’s working or how busy we are – your Tuesday morning latte tastes identical to your Friday afternoon latte.
We’re located in the heart of Flushing, easily accessible whether you’re coming from the subway, bus lines, or walking from nearby offices and residential areas. Our location serves the busy downtown Flushing community that needs reliable coffee throughout the day.
Our self-serving machines allow us to accommodate Flushing’s around-the-clock schedule. Even during traditionally slower periods, you can count on getting quality coffee quickly without worrying about reduced service levels.
The café is designed for both quick grab-and-go service and comfortable seating if you want to stay. We understand that Flushing residents and workers have different needs throughout the day – sometimes you need coffee in thirty seconds, sometimes you want to sit and work for an hour.
Payment is simple and flexible. Each machine accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay. You pay directly at the machine after selecting your drink but before it starts brewing.
The machines provide clear pricing for each drink size and customization, so you know the exact cost before committing. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges – the price displayed is what you pay.
If you prefer cash or have questions about your order, our counter staff can also process payments and provide assistance. However, most customers find the machine payment process faster and more convenient, especially during busy periods when counter service might have a wait.
