22 Best Cafes in Astoria

“LITTLE FLOWER IS THE BEST CAFE EVERRR! They are so much more than just a cafe though, it's more like a movement or way of life for me at this point LOL. I love their food, their activism, and how they show up for our neighborhood. I have tried various things on their menu and it is all my favorite LOL! I typically get a cold brew and some kind of food. My go to is their guava pancakes and egg sandwich. Their pastries are phenomenal too. You need to do yourself a favor and visit! The staff are the sweetest most genuine people on earth. I love our little chats. Ok this review is already so long-- ILY LF!“

“My wife and I stumbled onto this location one day when passing through Queens. She just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee, but what we got was so much better than expected. We had a “flat white” which was amazing high-quality coffee. And a piece of homemade baklava. I have to say this was hands-down, The absolute BEST baklava I’ve ever had in my life and if you’re a fan of this dessert, you absolutely need to go try it for yourself. I myself, have grown-up eating plenty of baklava. In my hometown, we have one of the highest Middle Eastern populations in the country so we have plenty of great baklava but I’ve still never had it this good. It was Perfect!✨ A large quantity, but not too filling, well-defined layers, very light & flaky but still moist, and just the right amount of nuts. when you bite into it, no part of the dessert gets lost or covered up. You can taste every element standing out with prominent flavor; from the freshness of the walnuts to the sweetness of the syrup and quality of the dough. After talking to the owner for a while, she explained to us how she bakes everything herself and how she refuses to buy her desserts from bakeries or skimp out on quality even if it makes her job easier. Let me tell you, it shows! I highly respect the integrity she brings to her baking and her café. She also gave us some cookies that were amazing as well.

Now let me tell you a bit about the owners of this establishment. They’re a dedicated hard working family from Montenegro and were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my travels. They were VERY kind warmhearted people who opened their business up to us as if it was their home and we were long time friends, stopping by for a visit. It was honestly surreal how comfortable they made us feel. We spoke for over an hour and enjoyed their beautifully designed and well kept Café/Bar. Whenever I go to a new location, I really pay close attention to how much the owners care about their business and the customers they serve. It is by far the most important criteria. With these owners, you can tell they really put their all into the business and it is truly a family affair. I loved how the husband and wife were both there working together and even their daughter pitches in. The daughter even drew this amazing Halloween picture on the board by the entrance and you can tell how proud her parents are of her skills. I truly admire the love and attention this family puts into their business, and I can confidently say they’re the American dream in action!🇺🇸 Please go pay these guys a visit I promise you won’t be disappointed. I know for us, It will be worth it to make the trip from New Jersey to visit again soon.“

“What a great find. Large tables, generous slices of chocolate cakeand home made espresso. After a long walk around Steinway Street I popped in for a well deserved desert of cake and coffee. I was not disappointed. The service and portion of cake was just right. Ordering food is done at the counter. There are no waiters. You make your order, find a seat and indulge. All in all a great find if you are in the heart of Steinway Street in Astoria.“

“I usually go there right when they open so I can be 10 minutes late to work with a delicious coffee!
The coffees are phenomenal, the baristas are really lovely and warm people, and the pastries are EVERYTHING. I had a garlic scone today that rocked my world.

Love this place!“

“Stupid, d*** delicious. Will be back every chance possible. Well worth it.“

“Amazing place. So invited. You walk in and it feels like family. The staff, especially the owner, are all wonderful. I go there with my 1 year old daughter and always get the vegan Spinach pie. OMG sooooo freaking good. I can eat so many of them but I restrict myself to one. Even my daughter loves it. She gets so happy when we stroll on into the cafe because she knows what that means. I hope to try other items but just can’t let go of that spinach pie. Ugh so good lol“

“We went in to grab a coffe and sandwich to go but stayed in because Anna was so sweet, helpful and made our experience a phenomenal one. ❤️❤️❤️ When in Astoria again, we will definitely stop in and enjoy another Latte, sandwich and pastry. Thanks again Anna“

“I had the best chorizo torta of my life here. I like trying tortas from Mexican places wherever I go to compare, and this place knocked it out of the park. It's locally owned and operated. Loved having a latte with the meal since it was kind of brunch.“

“I loved Gelato here! I didn’t expect it to be this good. I was a bit indecisive about which flavor to choose, but the owner was so kind and patient- he let me sample a few until I found the perfect one. I ended up choosing the coffee and pistachio flavor, and I highly recommend it!“

“The servers here turn a simple meal into a great time. The cozy establishment serves impressive cuisine. Prompt support with pleasant delivery. Meals here reached uncommon excellence. Our meal was perfectly prepared!! I want to return soon!“

“You won't find a better place to have breakfast or lunch, stop looking and come.
Lovely staff, delicious food and delicious juices.
We tried others before in the area and none come close in terms of quality and price.“

“Love The Corner Spot. Great Coffee , great food , awesome customer service. I really like the salads and the quiche ! Support local independent restaurants and def check out The Corner Spot !“

“Amazing cake, great cashews cappuccino“

“I've only been here a couple of times, but both times, the men behind the counter were quite friendly and I didn't feel rushed when choosing my dozen donuts. The prices are very good and the donuts themselves are even better (if you are used to franchise donuts you're in for a treat). I often go by there when shopping across the street and there are usually since locals there, eating, reading the paper, and chilling.“

“Loved this place. You may hesitate at first, but its such a great breakfast place. Not fancy, but the food and service is excellent. Also, they make fresh juices that are Delicious! I wanted to go back on Sunday but it was closed. Great choice re menu, coffee was super good, had poached eggs etc. Seriously, this is a go to when in Queens“

“I love this place :-) The food! The Service! Everything !“

“Our daily ellas tv morning Freddo spot!“

“*THE BEST COFFEE SPOT IN ASTORIA*

The staff is GREAT 5 star ?, nice ,talkative, knowledgeable about menu and extras. GREAT ENERGY overall. The main reason I keep coming back other than the Chagachino ?.

SPACE- IS 3 parts the front / people watch enjoy the breeze / Inside to smell the food cooking and over hear conversation while working/ The back with +++ seating there is an in depth floral setup ?.

I could keep going but check them out!

My order - Chagachino + expresso + caramel on cup + extra ice = a good day!“

“Chingon cabron heeeeedonde se vende el mejor cafe de astoria queens“

“The food it’s AMAZING ! I love their tacos carnitas , cabeza ,tamales green it’s a must and mole the weekend menu it’s a dream come true everything it’s a great choice to try … Too sad the register lady’s don’t know how to treat people . They take so long to notice you , they serve you with a nasty attitude . And if you ask so many questions they all respond the same way “ don’t you see the menu “ then you ask for it and they end up saying “ we don’t have that “ 😂😂 oh well we must love NYC ♥️
It’s sad to see great places that have the potential to grow and expand have these people with a nasty attitude.

♥️We just trying to support the business .“

“Amazing bakery. Definitely a must try!“
