“Humble cafe has a chill vibe which I loved. The music and setting is perfect for anyone wanting to relax, read or catch up with friends. I found it interesting that they roast their own coffee beans. I've never seen a machine like the one they have up close before so I found it unique. We just had an iced latte and ice coffee and found it to be a good Saturday afternoon spot to spend time in.“

“It’s more of a desert shop. Very tasty. The atmosphere is great too and very clean. The only down fall to the restaurant is the staff. Not welcoming at all and don’t greet you. I’m from out of country and I love to experience new places and I like to go back to restaurants that are friendly and warm, however, I won’t return here because of the staff lack of hospitality.“

“The food was fine. We ordered calamari to start, and a spicy chicken sandwich and the kale salad and 1 cocktail each. It was good, but for $140.00... Our server Hussain was friendly and the atmosphere was fun, but the meal/drinks were not worthy of the tab. But what do you expect..“

“Just had food from the food truck, delish!!! Ate inside then ordered dessert and coffee, amazing. Lovely staff, welcoming place.☘️🇮🇹☘️“

“Worth the trip for some yummy and unique gluten free food! I wish there were more locations, if this was closer to me I would be visiting here all the time. They are a small shop and were pretty busy when we went in on a Sunday afternoon, but the staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Hashbrowns and waffles were to die for 😍“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“This is the green powder smoothie. My first smoothie ever by Refresh Co and I can confidently say that they have to have the best smoothies. The staff were nice and patient with me and overall the atmosphere was inviting and soothed my anxieties.“

“Mr. Khalit is amazing! I stumbled upon his shop while i was waiting for my train at Kew Gardens station. It was extremely cold day and was around the shop’s closing time, yet he asked me to stay in his shop even though my train won’t be here for a while. Mr. Khalit is kindhearted and seems to love his job. I’m so glad I found this gem and definitely will visit again if I have the opportunity!“

“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!“

“Stopped by around 7pm after seeing great reviews and it did not disappoint. I got an ube iced latte and an espresso tonic even though it was pricey around $16 but both were amazing and better than other nearby cafés. After finishing the two drinks I went back up for two more drinks and ordered two ice matcha seltzers and those were just as good.

Harvey the barista the only one working at that time when we came in did an awesome job he was super patient, gave great recommendations, provided great service, and you can definitely tell he really knows what he’s doing.

He mentioned he usually works Fridays and weekends, so I’d definitely recommend stopping by when he’s there and having him make your drinks.

I’ll definitely be back!“

“They’re food is outstanding! I would highly recommend them to all. Cakes are delicious and moist! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“The Polo Lounge is such a great place! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and another couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary! The food was delicious! The portions are appropriate so you're not totally full before your main course even comes. The atmosphere is a fun. There's a lounge singer and couples dancing. It was lovely to watch and we were sitting in our booth. There was a wedding going on, but it did not bother the restaurant at all. We will be back every year for our anniversary after bring married at Westbury Manor. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere will keep us coming back!“

“Great service and ambiance I had the avocado toast to die for and the coffee was amazing“

“I'm in town visiting family and had the chance to check out a few local spots that came highly recommended. Blacksmiths Breads was one of the breakfast places on my list.. and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was spot-on and the croissant was perfectly soft, buttery, and fresh. Everything hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch, quick breakfast spot. 10/10!“

“After a gazillion weeks of quarantine, or what seemed like anyway, we dined out in their courtyard. Everything was fresh and tasty and excellent service. It truly was a well earned treat, Looking forward to our next visit.“

“I'm very pleased with the service I received here. It's the perfect little café in the neighborhood.
I like the variety of beverages they have! The staff is very warm and they take care of you. The atmosphere is quiet, realxing and clean. And, it's very affordable!!
I'm so glad I found this café and I will be coming back again and again.“

“Soulful Neighborhood Gem!
I feel truly blessed to have discovered Across Broadway Cafe. It is a rare find that manages to be both delicious and quaint, offering a cozy atmosphere that immediately feels like home.
The South American food here is the real deal—everything is incredibly fresh and delicious. They offer a great variety of authentic flavors, from perfectly cooked meals
to rich, bold coffee. You can tell everything is made with high-quality ingredients and a lot of heart.
What really sets this place apart, though, are the kind people. The staff treats you like family, and their genuine hospitality makes every visit special. If you want a fresh, authentic meal in a space that feels welcoming and warm, this is the spot!
I had only a small sample , would love to have more 😊“

“I’m new to the Neighbourhood, but I just found my new spot. Tommy’s deli Is a nice convenient and well Established. The owner Angela was very nice very respectful and the way she ran her business and the entire presentation is a five out of five. It’s A+. She’s a great individual.
More so I had a dilemma and I just casually run it up with her, A stranger that just met while she was making me a sandwich
She gave me amazing advice and she made me feel a whole lot better About myself
The drinks and the food that I ordered from the place were delicious and I will find myself going there again.“

“Ordered on DoorDash. Hungry man made correctly, fresh ingredients. Bagel with choc chip cream cheese. Also fresh. Good spread. Copious amounts of the cream cheese. Bagel fresh not to chewy. Overall decent experience. Now let's take it up a notch and sell spreads on DD by the 1/4 & 1/2 pounds!“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“OMG!! Absolutely delicious!!! This is my 10th time here and I am still impressed with the food and service. I had the Tuscany chicken melt- highly recommend and my sister had the Parmesan crusted chicken - phenomenal!! Our waiter Anthony- THE BEST! Attentive, polite and generous. Every time I visit NY- I look forward to coming here! I wish they would branch out to Florida. Compliments to the chef and staff- keep up the GREAT WORK!“

“My sister loves this spot so had to check it out. Enjoyed their cara caramel latte and latte with vanilla malt syrup. Tons of pastries to choose from. Enjoyed their spinach feta as well as breakfast burrito. They sell merch and tons of other cute knickknacks. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy whatever you end up ordering. The coffee baristas were super nice. Will be back for more caffeine!! You can encounter long lines depending on what time you come in.“

I love love love coming here!!!! Very kid friendly! You can tell they really care about their business because of all of the attention to detail within their market! <3 We even have our mompreneur meetings here!!“

“Tried the Fiesta Savory Crepe today and honestly, I was impressed! The crepe was soft with a little crisp on the edges, and the filling was super flavorful. I loved the mix of spices—it had a nice kick but wasn’t too spicy. Everything tasted fresh, and it was really satisfying without feeling too heavy. Definitely something I’d order again. Great option if you’re in the mood for something savory and a little different!“

“It was wonderful to sit and talk with my company without having to raise my voice. They layout of the restaurant is great, warm and relaxing. Service and pace was on point. The menu has many options for all. My only reason not to give the experience a full 5⭐️is because the food was very good but not amazing.“

“Nice Cafe. Great spot for delicious food with excellent service ..The prices are very reasonable and the portion size are just right. They make the best grits which I rarely order out.“

It was so yummy, and the perfect little bite after a doctor's appointment.“

“It's a neighborhood pub. Union guys, Malachy, the bartender, is cool, the drinks are great! You don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to, but if you do, there always laughs. There's always a game on TVs or music on the jukebox.“

“Been here a few times. Usually come here for their vegetable omelette platter which include mushroom and peppers home fries , Israeli salad and whole wheat bagel. Healthy breakfast options available for reasonable pricing. Can get a little busy so if you order ahead might be better.“

“Such a cozy little spot to reset and recharge ✨ I stopped in today for a spinach croissant and a Pellegrino, and everything felt fresh and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was inviting and made it the perfect place to sit, catch up on some work, and enjoy a peaceful break before heading to my next destination.
The staff was kind, the pastries tasted fresh, and overall it was a really pleasant experience. I’d definitely recommend this café and will absolutely be returning. ☕🥐“

“The pastries were absolutely amazing. They were so rich in flavor and the flavors burst in my mouth.
The gelato in the summertime hits right on the spot and it is so creamy and they have the best flavors
There is no health hazards in the place. It is very clean. Not a single spot is dirty. It is decorated beautifully and would totally recommend.
The person serving people is absolutely amazing and she takes care of her customers (aka Melania and Zofia which we are writing this review right now) and all the other customers that come in overall, I would totally recommend coming over here.“

“Star Mountain Coffee is a great local café with a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Coffee is well made and consistently smooth, and the space is clean and comfortable for sitting, working, or meeting someone briefly. Staff is polite and efficient without rushing customers. A solid neighborhood spot when you want quality coffee without the chaos of larger chains!“

“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.“

“Great food great service. Try the prime rib special on Saturday nights. Been coming here 30 years.“

“Solid local spot with some of the best coffee around in my humble opinion. The staff & owner are always friendly and welcoming which is a plus.

Type of spot If its good say it, if its bad keep it to yourself champ. Lol“
