Concept Coffee

Nestled in the heart of Queens, New York, Concept Coffee offers a refreshing departure from your everyday café experience. This cozy coffee shop, located at 44-61 11th St, is a vibrant sanctuary for those who appreciate innovative flavors paired with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Concept Coffee’s unique menu draws inspiration from Filipino flavors and beyond, creating a delightful fusion that turns each cup into a memorable journey.

What truly sets Concept Coffee apart is its signature Ube Latte—a beautifully balanced beverage that artfully blends the earthy sweetness of ube with the rich creaminess of expertly brewed espresso. As one satisfied visitor, Lizz, puts it, “It’s so hard to find a good ube latte where you get the taste of the ube but not so much that you lose the latte.” And here, Concept Coffee nails that perfect harmony every single time.

The inventive drink offerings continue with their Buko Pandan Latte—a smooth, fragrant blend of pandan syrup, coconut milk, and a sprinkle of coconut flakes that evoke the tropical comforts of the Philippines, all elevated with their rich espresso base. Coffee enthusiasts also rave about their Beetroot Latte and Peanut Butter Smoothie, both drinks that challenge the norm and surprise the palate with vibrant flavors and textures.

Beyond the drinks, Concept Coffee crafts a welcoming haven for coffee lovers and casual visitors alike. Miguel Garcia shares how the staff “make you feel like a regular even on your first visit,” highlighting the genuine passion and friendliness that blossom within this quaint space, enhanced by a natural décor of thriving plants that add fresh energy and calm sophistication. Rachel Dick’s experience, stopping in for a much-needed coffee on her wedding morning, encapsulates the warmth and community spirit this place embodies—truly a coffee shop to feel at home in.

The menu also boasts luscious treats like the Ube Cookie and a flaky, buttery Chocolate Croissant that perfectly complements their multitude of specialty coffees—from a velvety cappuccino topped with coconut to a brisk, smooth cold brew that energizes with subtle complexity. Their array of espresso-based options like the cortado, alongside more adventurous offerings such as Michelada and Juniper, invite patrons to explore new flavor profiles while still enjoying the meticulous craft behind each cup.

Concept Coffee is more than just a pit stop for caffeine; it’s an experience—a perfect blend of innovative flavors, heartfelt service, and a cozy ambiance that lingers long after your last sip. Whether you’re craving a comforting hot chocolate or a refreshing iced ube café latte, this Queens gem promises a sublime sensory adventure and a welcoming space you'll want to revisit time and again.
