Santa Chiara Caffè - Gelateria

Diane Lee 2 months ago

I ordered an avocado toast and I guess that was my mistake. The avocado was so hard my fork couldn’t stab it. When I ate it I had to spit it out because it was so hard. The toast was very under seasoned as well. The bread is good but that’s it. Had to throw everything away. Perhaps other stuff here are good but would stay away from non baked goods and gelato.

If you want real Italian bakery, you absolutely have to go to Santa Chiara! Food is delicious and it gives you a taste of Italy with a stunning view of the city.

I absolutely love coming to this cafe! Manny is always a pleasure to speak to and he always greets you with a smile!! When I come in he has my cafe already made for me. They have the really good Aperol spritz as well as a variety of fresh baked goods that is made daily. He definitely knows his customers very well. Manny is so accommodating and goes above and beyond to make you experience and amazing one!! If you’re by the LIC Hunters Point area stop in and try them out. Tell him Joy sent you🫶🏾.

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.

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.
