Our Story

More than a coffee run.
A place to stay a while.

Northside Coffee is where Staten Island's mornings start and its evenings unwind.

We pour specialty coffee, cook breakfast and lunch to order, and pull craft beer and wine when the sun goes down. Our regulars come for the iced Spanish latte and stay for the tacos — the ones the neighborhood keeps calling the best around.

On the right nights you'll find live jam sessions and the occasional comedy set, plus a room that's yours to book for private parties. However you take it, there's always a seat with your name on it.
