Mission

We are lovers of coffee, tea, surf, skate, and community. Above all, we love the connections that all of these things bring to us. We strive for passion, obsessive ritual, and to make an impact on the world immediately surrounding us. We aim to craft coffee and tea, source the best products, and showcase peoples crafts in our space, right here in the Rockaway Hotel, amidst Rockaway Beach, New York City. Why? Because we’ve always loved bringing interesting people together, telling their stories, and sharing our passions.

Vision

We envision the Rockaway Beach that we never knew we wanted to live in. A beachside getaway home to artists, thinkers, tinkerers, and those passionate about stuff. Just plain stuff. People that get out of bed every morning excited to do that thing. The Greenhouse Cafe isn’t meant to be just a place for coffee or tea, but a place for people to congregate, share ideas, and be inspired. We envision GC as a hub of inspiration, a place where the best of things coffee, tea, surf, skate, and craft come to be shown off. 

A place for coffee, tea, and community.
