Cypress Inn

Lovely café, nice staff, great coffee, reasonable price. I can do some work there while enjoying my coffee. That’s really great.

They serve variety of coffee drinks. I am not particular ly a fan of the cuppicino/​latte drinks they serve, but I did enjoy the hot drip coffee though. The service was quick and prompt. I haven’t yet tried any of the food but it looks like its worth a try.

Very chill coffee house in what’s become a coffee crazy neighborhood. We had some hiccups, a few items were out of stock so we had to alter our lunch orders. That said they make a great sandwich prosciutto, artichoke and olive tapenade and the hummus plate were huge and really delicious. I especially loved that the prosciutto was sliced to order, never seen that in a coffee house. The coffee is good and costing $ 1-​$ 2 per cup with free refills it’s a steal. Wifi is strong and people are friendly, that’s all I want in a good café.

A very cute place with really good coffee, great food and service. I had the Prosciutto, articoke and olive tempande sandwich. They cut the prosciutto right on the spot. The sandwich was amazing and large on fresh soft yummy bread. My wife had the hummus platter. Again really good and flavorful. I really recommend this place it truly is a hidden Ridgewood gem.

This spot is right near my apartment and incredible. LOVE coming here. Great vibe, awesome service, wonderful staff!

I am all about the breakfast empanadas! Nice atmosphere and good coffee! A little out of the way for me but I like to go here on my day off to treat myself to a good breakfast.

This place is my ride or die. I love it so much and it is not only friendly but affordable. The space is also super cozy and food is delicious. Get one of their great sandwiches or a bagel with hummus!

We always like coming here. The empanadas are awesome but I have yet to have a sandwich. They look so good, I’m going back soon to get one.

Crispy empanadas with authentic sauce, fresh salads and amazing relaxed mood. Definitely the best hang out spot in the nabe.

One of my absolute favorite coffee shops. Adorable interior owned by a lovely Italian family. Fantastic espresso, even the drip coffee is fantastic. My go-​to is the $ 4.00 Bagel and Coffee combo. They play great music, and the wi-​fi is super fast.

Delicious $ 2 coffee (with soy OR almond milk for us vegans!) The friendly folks who work there are super welcoming. I stop in whenever I’m visiting my friends in the neighborhood… absolutely love this spot!

I love the bagel with hummus and avocado. I usually get that plus a small coffee for $ 5 deal :)

Awesome spot, I LOOOOVE their sandwiches, their turkey pesto avacado sandwich is amazing. The portion is gi-​normous and the price is low, put that combination together and you get an instant hit. Also their staff is super friendly and make this place feel like home. Definitely give this place a try.

Actually this is one of my fav base places nearby home, walk several blocks from where I live, free wifi, not bad breakfast, sandwiches, also iced coffee, could wake me up and spend my whole day here, doing with my online shop and other stuff.
I am a visitor here in NYC, I will leave here back to Beijing at this end of July, hope to explore more fun and creative places.

Visiting from Seattle; the world capital of coffee snobbery.
This place has a fantastic soy latte. The foam was a bit large-​bubbled and not quite as velvety as some might prefer. However, the roast was dark and full-​bodied without tasting burnt.
It seems to be a small business ran by a mother and daughter.
The service was quick and polite.
I had a wrap version of the chicken burger. Simple yet delicious.
They offered free wifi and didn’t seem to be bothered that I sat for an hour and worked on my computer.
The vibe was hip and low-​key without being pretentious. No handlebar mustaches.

I really love this spot. It’s on my walk to the subway in the morning but aside from convenience, it has a ton going for it. For starters, the old hollywood horror movie theme is the best. The décor in general is warm and cozy, the baristas are all ridiculously nice, and the food is delicious. Also, I’m pretty sure they have a movie night, or what looks like a movie night from outside while I walk home.
Random side story: One morning they didn’t have change for a $ 20 but they let me have my my cappuccino anyway and just trusted me to swing by on my way home or on another day to settle up. (Which I did!) THANK YOU for not denying me my morning caffiene. Love you.

One of the many surprises that ridgewood has to offer. Vinny the barista is very friendly and courteous. I haven’t tried the food here but based on other Unilocalers pics, looks great.
Even the drip here is good. Definitely check it out if you’re sick and tired of williamsburg like my gf and I are.

Cypress Inn Café is the most friendly, warm coffee shop I have been to in the whole of NYC since chancing upon Norma’s.
I’d passed by Cypress Inn on the border of Ridgewood/​Bushwick a few times but finally chose to try it out as, frankly, other local cafés are getting overrun with customer MacBooks. This place is only a couple blocks back from the main drag of the neighborhood, and what a fantastic café!
The people who I assume are the owners greeted me with a smile and eye contact despite the place being busy. Service was equally amiable and the menu blackboards had so many sandwich variants (many vegan and healthy) that I didn’t know what to choose! It was so reasonably priced for two coffees that I thought I had been undercharged! They use Counter Culture coffee which tasted lush and was well-​made.
I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised by the chatter and warmth of the customers! The whole café was full of people actually chinwagging and there were only brief moments when laptops were out. I guess it says a lot about the local coffee shops that I’m more used to people sitting silently looking at screens.
Apparently they do film nights too (Wednesdays). There’s free wifi but my Optimum tuned in by itself so I don’t know how good their own is. The music was retro, christmassy and unobtrusive.
I recommend Cypress Inn highly if you enjoy café culture, you know, like it used to be. I think I’ll have to become a regular.

I just moved to Ridgewood an decided to check out some local spots. This Café being the first on my list to try, I wasn’t disappointed in this decision. Once I walked in, the vibe of the café felt like a thrown together home, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, It actually works here. I love how they are into Classic Monster flicks, from posters to bobble head dolls. The music selection was also amazing and at a listen and not overly loud volume. The sweet spot.
The café is ran by Vinny and his wife (I apologize, I’ve forgotten to ask your name) and are lovely people. Their children were hanging out, and Vinny’s mother also had popped in! I was there all of a few minutes and I already felt like I was a part of the family.
Let’s talk about the food, all the sandwiches are made to order and executed amazingly. Vinnys wife is on point with how to craft the food. She takes the extra steps to make sure each part is done right. I had the Sundried tomato, mozzarella and spinach sandwich with a side of hot pickles. It was well balanced and the pesto wasn’t over bearing (which happens a lot). I also has the Peanut butter, Nutella and Banana sandwich. Also was kickass.
All in all.
This will become a regular spot for me in the future. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu and taking advantage of the combo deal (sandwich and coffee). Maybe even try to make time to come by on movie night! Great food guys.

Cypress Inn Café is super rad. The walls and shelves are adorned with old school pictures of the owner’s mother and horror flick swag. It’s a bit of a hike from the train, but definitely worth it!
Sit back and enjoy your coffee with delicious desserts (the chocolate bread is awesome) or savory empanadas (go for the Mac & Cheese). They’ve also got sandwiches and tons of vegetarian friendly options. Last time we went on the weekend, we were also given free mimosas! Can’t get better than that.
They also screen movies during the week, check out their Facebook page for upcoming flicks. All-​in-​all, a great and quiet place to spend your afternoon. Tons of seating, so catch up with a friend or read a book in solitude.
