“**🌽 Arepa Café – A Flavor Explosion in the Heart of Astoria! 🌟**
If you're not already obsessed with Venezuelan food, prepare for a serious love affair. I just had the pleasure (no, the privilege) of dining at **Arepa Café** in Astoria, and let me tell you — my tastebuds are still doing a salsa dance. 💃🌶️
First up: the **Arepa Pabellón**. Imagine slow-cooked shredded beef that's so tender it practically melts into the arepa, paired with sweet plantains that feel like nature’s candy, black beans for that earthy richness, and a hit of salty white cheese to tie it all together. Every bite was a *FLAVOR BOMB* — the kind you wish you could rewind and experience all over again. 🌋💥
Then came the Mami de Pernil, which honestly should be illegal for being this good. Juicy, seasoned roasted pork stacked high, garlic mojo dripping off every corner of the arepa, and just enough sauce to make it messy in the best possible way. One bite and I was like, “Okay, who’s the culinary genius back there??” 👏🐷✨
The place itself? Cozy, colorful, and full of warmth — like walking into a Venezuelan hug. Whether you're rolling in with family, catching up with friends, or trying to impress a hot date, Arepa Café sets the mood and delivers the goods.
**Pro tip**: Bring an appetite and maybe a napkin or three — things get juicy fast. 😋
🔥 10/10 — Worth crossing boroughs for.
💛 Flavor: off the charts
🎉 Vibes: immaculate
👨👩👧👦 Great for: everyone, always
Love this place. Already planning my return. 💥“

“Very nice bakery with a nice selection of baked goods, coffee & teas. I do wish they had more sugar free options aside from a blueberry or cranberry muffin, bit of which was sold out when I went, but that's fine. The Cranberry muffin I had was excellent.“

“The place is definitely smaller than I expected, which probably explains why reservations are a must. The ambience was beautiful good vibes, good music, and a really friendly staff. The drinks were great, mine were strong , and the food was solid overall. My strip steak was perfectly tender, but it could've used a little more seasoning like salt. The mashed potatoes were slightly cold, but it balanced out because my salmon was piping hot. The highlight for me was the birthday moment where they came out with a huge sign and sparkler to sing, which made it feel really special. I'd probably come back again! It's just far from where i live.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. No one needs to tell you that but what’s really cool is that my wife and I went and I’ve been drying out this September but still wanted an experience of trying a bunch of craft cocktails. They killed it. Every drink was so cool and I even bought one of the bottles (photo). It’s just super cool for a place this famous and established to still have a commitment to service so high they’ll cater to some clown who wants to explore off-menu, zero proof cocktails. Well done Blue Hill team, well done.“

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!“

“Honestly was a fantastic place! Food was great (wings, peanut noodles with tofu, and glazed donut), not only because it was gluten free, but just because it was amazing to begin with. There are very few food options when traveling for me since I’m celiac, and unfortunately a lot of the time you can tell the food is gluten free. This place just tasted like regular (non gluten free) Asian food, which is great when you have people with you that are not celiac.
The donut had the ingredients listed and it did not contain grains or oats, which is great as 1 in 5 celiacs are affected by oats (even gluten free oats). They do have a strong coconut flavor from the coconut oil/coconut milk so if you don’t like coconut I would say these may not be for you.
Also to note, as of today they are currently working on building out the inside of the restaurant so it’s only pickup/delivery currently.
When picking up the person that working there was extremely nice, and offered us plates/plasticware since they knew we were outside.
Next visit to NY I will definitely be back!“

“I am so grateful to all the super nice people who work here. I have a lot of allergies and food restrictions. Whenever I call after placing an order, and speak to someone to make sure my food is prepared carefully, the person who takes the call is ALWAYS so very kind. It means a lot to me, because I've had a lot of bad experiences at other restaurants with people who would rather not deal with my food issues. So thank you to Little Beet at 1291 1st Ave NYC! Cheers to you and please know how much everyone who works there is appreciated!“

“The food at this place is absolutely fantastic. With prices that are hard to beat these days, it’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like you’re getting a real deal without compromising on quality. I went with the chicken, while my dad tried the falafel, and we decided to add baba ganoush to both—it was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to our meals.
Our food did take a little while to arrive, but that’s only because everything is made fresh to order, which I truly appreciated. Every bite showed the care and effort that goes into each dish. Beyond the delicious food, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help, making the experience even better. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit spot—supporting this business means enjoying food that’s genuinely unbeatable.“

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“This isn’t just pizza — it’s an experience. The spicy square pepperoni slice is the kind of thing you dream about. They’re open late, which is perfect for night owls like me, and the student discount is a sweet bonus. Honestly, if Hoboken had a pizza crown, this place would wear it“
