“Beautiful coffee shop on Queens Blvd. I had a cortado and a black cup of coffee. Both were just ok. The food and the pastires are the draw here. Too many delicious cakes to mention. The avocado toast was outstanding. Topped with grape tomatoes, feta, calmata olives, and herbs. Outstanding. I had the spinach and cheese filo dough pie that was great as well. The shop is very well appointed. There's outdoor seating. Service was great.“

“Stopped in for a cold juice while out for a walk. It was a nice experience and we loved our juices but what makes this place special is the owner Maria. She made us feel so welcomed and treated us as if we were her family. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Please go support a local business!“

“Unique space. Great vibe. Vast selection of beverages. Tasty authentic cuisine. Fresh pastries. Five star service. A jewel of Harlem.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“I was excited to visit after so many good reviews. I have been at two locations and I have ordered 4 times overall, it is just OK, I am not impressed by the taste of the coffee, there are much better coffees around on UES in terms of the taste. Also, I do not trust their good rating anymore after I felt being kinda pushed to give the best reviews and immediately - I do not like that and I believe many people did it on the spot. I did not particularly liked the food/snacks, it was ok.“

“Food is so delicious and great, we tried the egg and cheese with halal bacon which was tasty, but the short ribs sandwich is another level of tastiness, was just perfect!
Their coffee is also perfect.
The staff are very friendly and nice, for sure I recommend this spot for a brunch.“

“Amazing place, amazing staff and amazing coffee: word of 💯 Italian!! I simply adored the place🩷“

“Popped in for a latte (first time) and it was delicious! They were out of almond milk, so the barista recommended I try macadamia... and I'm glad he did! It was very good. Hamlet made the list of neighborhood cafés I would continue to visit.“

“Best coffee in Brooklyn and very nice atmosphere, diggin in Vinyl and having coffee.“

“I stopped at Alita this morning for the BEC on the chorizo and cheddar biscuit. I was expecting something tasty, but I was floored by how incredibly delicious this sandwich was. This was the type of sandwich that I would leave Manhattan for and order again. Simply wonderful. Thank you!“

“Extremely recommended! The best chilaquiles in NYC! The food is clearly made with love, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere captures the best city vibes. The owners and staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. We come here for breakfast almost every weekend, and they always treat us like family. It's one of those special places that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Lovebirds was the perfect spot to have my son's first birthday party! We served hors d'oeuvres and dessert which were all amazing! The ceviche and the espresso cheesecake were my favorite! I loved that we didn't feel crowded in the space but it also felt cozy. I will definitely come back and would love to use the space again in the future for another event!“

“Had an amazing first experience at Saint Michel Cafe. So friendly and attentive. Love the set up of the place so nostalgic and welcoming. Had the best strawberry matcha latte and my partner had a dulce de leche hōjicha. We had a great experience overall. Most definitely will return and hang out next time.“

“I got the smoker salmon sandwich along with the strawberry cream latte while my best friend go an avocado toast and a berry smoothie. We both agree that this was extremely delicious and filling! Cute little spot to also study at that provides outlet for your computer needs. We will be going back and recommending to everyone we know! 🐝“

“excellent coffee very nice place,very kind and professional staff !“

“Really cool mix of coffee shop and chinatown pork buns and other chinese style pastries

I got the cream tart and the pork bun. Both were really good.

Only downside is the entire place was full of people sitting with their laptops so wasnt able to sit anywhere inside.“

“10/10 would chai tea again 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽“

“Honestly, the healthiest cafe in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx, if not in the Bronx!“

“I had a wonderful experience here. The Butter Cookie Latte was absolutely amazing—easily one of the best specialty lattes I’ve had in a long time. The Caprese sandwich was good and fresh, though it wasn’t quite as memorable as the coffee.

What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere and service. The staff were welcoming and attentive, creating a warm and comfortable environment. The music selection was relaxing and perfectly suited for getting work done on a laptop or simply enjoying a peaceful break. If you’re looking for a cozy café with great coffee, excellent service, and a productive yet calming vibe, this is definitely worth a visit.“

“We’ve been coming for years and the Food here is always fresh and so good! Staff and service is always amazing!“

“Excellent little Cafe tucked away on a side street in Brooklyn. Run by two delightful sisters. Food was awesome and the Cappuccino. The Waffles I had were amazing with homemade batter. Definitely on my new spot of must stops in Bushwick.“

“My favorite coffee shop! Excellent coffee, service, atmosphere and of course the food is brilliant! I highly recommend Black Milk Coffee and Crepes! You will be very pleased!“

“el iced dirty horchata with super rico.😋😋“

“The coffee house is chill, places to sit, wait time isn't bad at all. The staff are kind and accommodating and the prices are fair too (trust me, it's not outrageous!)

Besides that, this place host some events on Thursdays (every other Thursday, dont quote me though) and if you're new to Sunnyside I recommend it!

TLDR: support local and come here!“

“Excellent..but it would have nice to see the owner!!🤔🤔🤣“

“I love French vanilla coffee, it's something else!!“

“Lemon loaf is on point - you definitely taste the lemon, not too sweet, perfect pairing with my coffee which was a maple cardamom latte with almond milk - sounds good right! It was good. Smelled great and tasted great. Nice and warm for a cold NY day. Love the art on the walls I believe it’s from local kids. Sharing pic of my fav.“

“An unassuming neighborhood coffee shop that is actually sm more. They reallyyyyyy get it right with sourcing beans, making their own delicious syrups, providing cozy and friendly service. Also - this season they have a rainbow cookie latte? Incredible. I’m so glad to pass them on my daily commute.“

“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!“

“A lovely café with a nice, relaxing environment and simple yet elegant décor. The vibe is calm and inviting—perfect for unwinding or enjoying a quiet moment. I tried the matcha latte and absolutely loved it; the balance between the milk and matcha was just right, smooth and not overpowering. The avocado sandwich was also delicious and very satisfying. A great spot to relax and enjoy quality drinks and food. Highly recommend!“

“It's fantastic to have a coffee shop where the owners take care to buy top quality, organic, fair trade beans which they roast themselves on-site. The staff are fabulous and really know what they're doing.“

“Lovely cafe! Such amazing matcha, the cafe staff are so friendly too. Definitely recommend!!❤️“

“Espresso is so well defined and smooth. Had lovely almost honeyed notes. Really lovely little space with comfortable seating, nice decor, and very kind and prompt service. Milk alternatives include oat, macadamia nut, and almond— I really love the macadamia nut. I would go out of my way to come back here.“

“The coffee and food were amazing! The atmosphere is so unique.and inviting. Someone was playing the piano, as others were working while enjoying their lunch . They now have a beautiful garden with fresh herbs and a patio to enjoy Vendors on the weekends selling beautiful things The staff and owner were very nice and welcoming! I look forward to enjoying this beautiful new cafe for many years to come.“

“Okka is a lovely neighborhood spot that’s a big part of our community, family-run been here for 5 years and Onur is always so kind as is his wife and the other people who run this coffeeshop. They have outdoor seating too which is rare to find in this area. Quiet corner for daily coffee and baklava. Their croissants and be&c are great too“

“We happened by last Friday and I asked for a recommendation. I tried the cookies and caramel and it was the best ice cream I've had in a long time! I have thought about it multiple times since returning home from our trip! It's so good!☺️👏“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor , excelente atención y lo más importante muy delicioso todo 👍👍“

“my first time here, the food was great and presentation of food is delightful. will definitely go back“

“I stopped by before work and was really impressed. The cold brew was fantastic, very smooth, rich, and easy to drink without any bitterness. It’s the kind of coffee that stands well on its own and makes you want to savor every sip.

I also love that they’re open early, which makes it a convenient stop on my morning commute. Finding a great coffee shop that’s open when you actually need it can be surprisingly difficult, so this is a huge plus. I’ll definitely be stopping by more often and look forward to trying more of their coffee offerings.“

“This restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

“This cafe has been a special staple in the neighborhood for many years. The brothers who work in the cafe are so kind and seem to know all their regulars orders. Grabbing a coffee and seeing them is the best way to start the day. The people really are what make Dua’s great!“

“Very cute and clean spot! Everything we got was delicious & we would 100% get it again!
-the croffles are perfect chewiness & texture, and they are the right level of sweet without being overpowering
-the Kagoshima match latte was nice and rich....and the strawberry cream just made it even better
- the pandan latte was amazing! Just the right amount of pandan and espresso, both flavors came through without one dominating the other

And 5 stars to the baristas, who were really cool about adding strawberry cream to my wife's matcha after I forgot to order it 😅 thank you for saving me from certain gruesome death!!“

“One of the best spots in the Bronx ! Hands down !“
