Filoncino Cafe - Eltingville

Great breakfast and lunch spot on Staten Island!
I had the pleasure of meeting a friend here for our semiannual brunch dates and boy was I excited to try some place I haven’t been!
We had the gorgeous French toast and everything bagels with avocado eggs smoked salmon with tomatoes and it was perfect!
Can’t wait to come back for lunch and try the salads and sandwiches!

Really great atmosphere and quality food. Extensive menu. Very happy to have Royal Crown family so close to home in Eltingville. The ingredients are very fresh and their bakery products are top shelf amazing !!!

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time as it is one of the few places on Staten Island with vegan options! We had really good fries, broccoli rabe hero and eggplant parm hero. Although the sandwiches are a decent size we finished both cus they tasted so good. Friendly staff as well. Definitely plan on returning!
November 2022 update: just came here for the third time and there's a great breakfast menu with vegan options!
February 2024 update : still love the vegan food here and great staff!

Visited for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The food was very tasty and freshly prepared. I had the lobster roll sandwich with freshly made potatoe chips. The lobster roll was made with chipotle mayonnaise and avocado sauce. The sauce and chipotle mayonnaise combination was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of mayo and sauce as to not take away from the taste of the lobster. I found the staff to be friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is good but I can see it getting loud when busy as there are alot of hard surfaces with not much to deaden the sound.

That's our third time coming here. We love it. Great place. Great people. Nice ambience. Highly recommended!

We order out from Filocino at least once per month. Anything we have ordered, the food is always fresh and tasty. They have a large variety of vegan deserts as well as non vegan. The pistachio bars are my favorite. The girls behind the counter are always pleasant as well.

Food was absolutely excellent! Sandwiches were huge and delicious, and the meat inside was plentiful. I ordered the roast beef which is nicknamed the Coney Island, and it was fabulous.

Parking lot is tiny, but they can’t do much about that.

We ordered, and were told 20 minutes. A reasonable amount of time for our order. We arrived at the 20 minute mark, paid for the order and sat down and waited.

20 minutes later, which is now 40 minutes after we ordered and been told it would be 20 minutes , I walked up to the counter and asked how the order was doing. She looked down at a bag, asked me what the last four numbers of my phone number was, and said that was my bag. When I asked why I wasn’t told it was ready and it was just sitting there. She said that nobody told her it was paid for. Maybe they need a lesson on communication because she’s 3 feet from the register and somebody should’ve told her the large order was paid for and they were sitting there waiting to pick it up

Again our food was excellent and worth waiting for but part of our order was french fries, and since they sat there, they were cold and soggy.

Filoncino in Staten Island is a hidden gem that never fails to impress with its mouthwatering dishes and friendly staff. As a loyal customer, I can confidently say that their rib eye hero sandwich is an absolute must-try. My friends call me "Mr. 82" because I only order the #82 spot on the menu, this sandwich is a true showstopper.

The combination of tender rib eye, crispy fried eggplant, hot pepper spread, and the delectable balsamic glaze is a flavor explosion in every bite. The succulent rib eye is cooked to perfection, delivering a rich and juicy meaty goodness that is hard to resist. The fried eggplant adds a delightful crunch and a subtle earthy taste, complementing the steak beautifully.

What sets Filoncino apart is their attention to detail in their ingredients. The hot pepper spread adds a hint of spice that elevates the overall flavor profile, while the balsamic glaze drizzled on top adds a touch of sweetness that balances out the savory elements. The combination of flavors is simply divine.

The staff at Filoncino is always a pleasure to interact with. Their friendly and attentive service creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, they make sure to provide a top-notch dining experience.

Aside from the remarkable sandwich, Filoncino is known for their delicious baked goods. From artisanal bread to delectable pastries, their bakery selection is a treat for the senses. Each item is crafted with care and delivers on both taste and presentation.

If you find yourself in Staten Island, make sure to pay Filoncino a visit. Indulge in their iconic rib eye hero sandwich, ask for "Mr. 82” on the menu, and experience the explosion of flavors that will leave your taste buds craving for more. With great staff and delightful bakes, Filoncino is a true culinary delight that should not be missed.

Tell them Mr. 82 sentchya 😉

Everything was perfect, from the food to the service. The atmosphere was one of the best I've been in for a long time. Highly recommend you try this place. P.S parking lot stinks park on the street..

Always delicious. I could make a meal just off their amazing bread and their ridiculously delicious, amazing, spectacular balsamic glaze. I keep bottles of it at home and work. The picture of this sandwich really doesn't do this place justice. I normally get the larger heros. No matter what it's always good.

This place is incredible!! They have so many wonderful vegan options! I’d eat here everyday if I could afford it! They’re vegan tray pizza was perfect. Wonderful staff and all around good atmosphere.

This is the perfect place if you're craving royal crown bakery on the south shore of the island. Everything here is exact quality that you would receive from the original location (prices as well). I cannot say enough about the wondrous smell that emminates from this establishment. The service here is spectacular, ask for Amanda.

Very clean establishment with a great staff and an amazing cook. Love this place

Vegan and gluten free options!

Daniella was extremely helpful in recommending vegan dishes and was amazing abolite pleasure to interact it.

We ordered the vegan meatball parm & a salad with spicy dressing. The meatball parm was devoured before I could take a photo of it and MAN was the spicy dressing spicy!
The vegan carrot cake was also delicious.

My family and I would return for these dishes, 100%!

** UPDATE **
We DID return a second time!

Come in for their vegan entrees and STAY for their vegan desserts!!

The vegan burger, #VB1, tasted like a Wendy’s burger (in a good way)!! I was so surprised at how good it was and I almost literally ate it within 3 minutes of it being set in front of me.

The vegan sticky bun was to die for!! I could NOT put it down!

We haven’t gotten into the donuts just yet so we’ll post another review shortly.

I recently realized that this place, which is close to my house, is affiliated with Royal Crown. So I tried it. It was absolutely delicious. The food is literally to die for. The chicken vodka parm sandwich was excellent, their philly cheesesteak sandwich is outstanding, their rice balls are great, and everything is just so good. As for the desserts, I think I have found the best slice of carrot cake I've ever had. It was divine. The Italian cheesecake was excellent as well, and their rainbow cookies were addicting. I've tried a lot of their stuff, and I have never been disappointed. The staff is also very nice. I think this is my new favorite lunch spot :)

Food is good but coffee is surprised, each cup cost $4,50
No refills for free

Food was delicious, there's so much I'd like to try, ill definitely be visiting again, staff was very sweet !!!

Done in or take out, this spot is worth the stop. More on the pricey side, but the price is right for the portions and the quality. This would be a regular for me when I’m in the area- for sweet or savory!

Best sandwiches on the island and delicious bakery. Criminally underrated based on these reviews.

The first time I’ve been there it’s good nice food nice service so clean
