Maillard

Maillard is a small, sunny shop in Whitestone, Queens, run by owner George. The roaster is in back. There's seating inside and out, and the bar can get loud. It's set up for a quick morning coffee, not laptops.

They roast single-origin coffee in-house. Try a cortado, flat white, cappuccino or freddo espresso. There's a spinach feta pastry, crêpes and chia pudding to go. They offer subscriptions.
