Found this cafe while waiting for my car inspection. The owner of the shop is friendly and easy to chat with, he makes amazing coffee himself, cares for his customers with great care and enthusiasm, and the cafe itself is spotless clean with cube vibes. The cold coffee here seems to be the specialty but it was too rainy to try it. Definitely need to come back. They have some snacks here too but not cooked food.

I was just doing laundry near by and thought of getting coffee..used Google maps to locate a good rating coffee shop near by and this cafe popped up. I had a little chat with the lady manager. I love how cozy and cute the cafe shop is. Had a little chat with the manager and she seemed very friendly and caring! Would love to be here again! Just loved it!

Look no further, you've found the best coffee shop in Rego Park. It's easy to make hot coffee to taste good, not so easy for ice coffee. It can taste watered down, flavorless, and just plain bad. Not at Il Primo Cafe. If the ice coffee tastes this good I can't even imagine the hot coffee. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming. This is the perfect definition of a neighborhood gem.

Unreal coffee! Traditional dark roast Italian coffee. I ordered both espresso then a cappuccino to try both. Also, one of the best cannoli’s I’ve ever had, crisp, not grainy, perfect balance of sugary and cinnamon. Now back to the coffee, perfectly dialed in and balanced shot of espresso. Top it off with attentive customer service!! Will be coming back here as an after lunch date with my wife. Highly recommend this place!
