Two brazen thieves on motorcycles robbed a group of people dining outside a fashionable Queens cafe — which is located across the street from the office of Councilmember Tiffany Cabán, a major supporter of defunding the NYPD, cops and witnesses said.

The masked men dressed in all black rode up on the sidewalk and pointed guns at customers who had been relaxing outside the Under Pressure Espresso Bar on 31st Street in Astoria at around 3 p.m. Tuesday, police and witnesses said.

“Hands up, don’t move” they barked at the victims — and said that if they did move, they’ll “shoot,” two employees who witnessed the incident told The Post.

“Two people came on motorcycles and they pointed their gun outside and took some chains and bracelets from some people outside,” one of the workers, who declined to share their name, said.

Did the thieves remember to take off their staff IDs and lanyards?
