I have to admit that I am a fan of Starbucks...but I was glad to try Espresso 77 and was very impressed. The place is charming. If you choose to stay to drink your coffee you are served in a real mug. The staff is friendly and they have great service. On Sunday nights you can catch live music at 7. The bake goods are very yummy. They even sell I heart Queens bags and Jackson Heights T-Shirts. If the choice is Starbucks at 78th St. I would walk down to 77th St. and turn the corner for a friendly neighborhood joint with excellent Java.
Pros: AMBIENCE, SERVICE, CLEAN BATHROOM
Cons: LIMITED SEATING
