“I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming. The staff were attentive and kind, which made the experience even better. We only had drinks this time, but everything was excellent—the recommended espresso martini was especially delicious.

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“I love Cafe sparrow! The minute I walked in the barista was very welcoming and super helpful. She offered many drink recommendations as I was indecisive. I settled with a strawberry matcha 🍵 which was so good and a nice warm toasted bagel with cream cheese. Overall I enjoyed my experience here, definitely recommend if you’re looking for good customer service and a nice quiet spot to sit and relax.“

“Coffee, hot chocolate, muffins! The experience!“

“Took my class here for a trip today and the staff was amazing, cookies were extra delicious. Kudos to all the staff for being so patient and attentive to my students. The kids had an absolute blast decorating their cookies.“

“The cutest local café, poc women owned! Fresh baked goods (from brookies to ube bread pudding) & food (breakfast sandwich on Foccacia) they are all made with love. This is the family oriented local café you want to support! Absolutely delicious with friendly service. I discovered my love for Authentic Filipino food at their Lunar New Year Dinner event! They offer in café dinner events and indoor dining now! They also provide catering (saved me at Thanksgiving!) and meal prep services!“

“Abbiamo frequentato il Santa Chiara Café durante la nostra vacanza a Manhattan. Conosciuto per caso è diventato la nostra tappa preferita per la colazione e non solo. Locale raffinato, pulito ed elegante, in pieno stile italiano con vista mozzafiato sullo skyline. Personale educato simpatico e competente. Cibo e bevande di una qualità top a prezzi moderati. Ma vogliamo raccontarvi di più. Al Santa Chiara Caffè tra i nostri preferiti: cornetti, crostate e piccola pasticceria…davvero eccellenti. Gelati artigianali cremosi e gustosi. Nulla è lasciato al caso, anche i nostri amici a quattro zampe erano super felici di fare colazione con i bellissimi biscottini per animali. Una menzione particolare per Enzo best omelettist in town. Last but not least, il proprietario Cristiano, gentile, educato, professionale, simpatico e generoso. Un posto da non perdere, infatti non vediamo l’ora di tornare…aspettateci! ****** English We bumped into Santa Chiara Cafe by chance and after it became our favourite place for breakfast but not only…it is clean and elegant in classic italian style with a great view towards the Manhattan skyline. The staff is nice, polite and very skilled. Food and drinks are top quality with modest price. However, we want to tell you more; favourite food, among the others, are croissants, tart and all the deliciuos small cakes. Not to mention the excellent homemade ice creams. Nothing is left to chance, also our pet friends were super happy to taste the eccellent cookies. Special mention to Enzo who makes the best omelette in town. Last but not least, the owner Cristiano: polite, kind, nice, professional and very generous. Highly reccomended place, not to be missed, we are looking forward to go back again…wait for us!“

“Best wings ever, and we've eaten a LOT of wings! Thai chili wings were perfect; sweet and spicy, BIG and juicy. Elli and Fernando are great. Highly recommend!“

“Every once in a while you find a place that makes you feel like a kid again in the most beautiful way. This place is one of those places. Everything is perfect. The food, the vibes, the people. My only complaint is that I had to leave and go home afterwards. The most wonderful little cafe you will come across.“

“This is place is absolutely adorable and quaint! The owners are such beautiful people and sooooo creative. The food is healthy and the entire vibe feels welcoming and homey. 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!!“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“This establishment is truly exceptional. The family who runs it is wonderful, and their customer service is outstanding. They consistently treat me with great warmth and kindness. I have a deep affection for them and their food. I initially discovered them through Too Good To Go. Their offerings are consistently fresh, of high quality, and possess an amazing taste.“

“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!“

“I truly love this place! I always get my favorite smoothie (Cold Oats) and ask them to add chocolate syrup. They hook me up every time! The food is always fresh and well seasoned. No blandness over here! This is a great addition to this community. I hope this business thrives and grows! 💕“

“Ordered to go; shaved broccoli and lake salad with steak. Steak cooked perfectly medium. Salad was perfect size and fill of flavor. Atmosphere looks fun but I didn’t eat there. Staff was incredibly friendly and accurate on time. Will visit again!“

“Tasty Soufflé, cold Brew coffee and green tea“

“Amazing service and food. Must try!“

“the place is very spacious itself with lots of seating and at night it starts to get crowded so be aware of needing to wait a while. other than that the food and drinks are really good, the jasmine love a lot bear and it is, i the pancake is a must get!!“

“good food options in a nice place“

“the macchiato so smooth and good ... el Barista un professional... good service fast wifi... very chic environment...I love it“

“This place is fantastic! Great food, fast service, and polite, friendly employees.

We tried almost everything on the menu, and while everything was delicious, I highly recommend the chicken avocado burger, pesto sandwich, and the PBB shake. That combo has definitely become my go-to order.

If you’re looking for a place with great food and excellent service, you can’t go wrong here 🤘🏻“

“I've been ordering lunch delivery here for a while now. Each time, the experience has been amazing. Yes, they are pricey, but the food and presentation are so worth it! I loved the kippered salmon sandwich. I cannot get enough of their butternut squash soup and the varied fresh juices. The tomato soup is also good, and the tuna panini. Now, the avocado salmon sandwich surpassed my expectations! Everything is always fresh and tasty and leaves you with a healthy vibe. The only miss was the “make your own salad” which I would never try again, better to go with what they offer on the menu.“

“Great coffee, hot and iced. Best bagels in Sunnyside. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Cool art on the walls. Good place to hang out with friends.“

“our go-to for holidays, birthdays, and all celebrations. the rainbow cookies are a favorite, really everything they make is delicious.“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“First time coming inside here always pass it but never went in wow how I regret it now, their apple lemonade r delicious as well as their onigiri rice balls nom nom ^^“

“Delicious desserts and great coffee!“

“I came here on the morning of December 6 2025 just to try their Dutch baby for breakfast. I’ve heard many good things about Kunst and made time to come here on my day off and they did not disappoint! I ordered a side of sausage, the lemon curd blueberry Dutch Baby and an iced honey spice latte. The atmosphere was beautiful with a lot of plants and the food was very good, I highly recommend coming here to try the Dutch Baby!“

“Exceptional in every way. The attention to detail is what sets this restaurant apart. The food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and artfully plated. The staff anticipated our needs and made sure the evening was flawless from start to finish. The environment was comfortable, clean, and stylish. This restaurant has mastered the art of combining outstanding cuisine with excellent hospitality.“

“Calm loving atmosphere. Staff awesome“

“On first glance, I already fell in love with this pastry shop. It’s a DREAM. I tried their mini chocolate raspberry cake & guava puff pastry and let me tell you they’re a 10/10. It tastes very classic and nostalgic. Will def be back“

“GREAT COFFEE I never could find a place that makes coffee like I do at home. Concept Coffe said “don’t worry, you’ll like it” and I LOVED it. Thank you!“

“A very beautiful space with cozy sofas, interior and light. The food wasn’t something crazy about: we took potatoes, parsnip soup, and tiramisu latte, they were okay. The place by itself was a little bit dirty on the floor, and some details, as a server that didn’t know that tiramisu includes alcohol in a recipe, and the fact that the same coffee was served in different cups, brought a feeling of mess, however I want to come back for lazy mornings atmosphere.
We parked right near the main entrance, however it’s under construction zone now.“

“Great local spot. Plenty of seats and restrooms available. Many drinks on the menu and its good. However, they low on the food options. Wish they offered more than very limited baked option and puddings. Service is always great and everyone is nice. I love this place.“

“Great coffee spot. I'm visiting Briarwood for the first time in a few years and wasn't expecting to find a coffee place here in the first place - awesome!

it's a chill place, great for reading a book or doing some light remote work.“

“Randomly bicycling around and eyes fell upon here since rest of the shops hasn't opened up yet in the morning, looks like this recently setup shop as I didn't see it here few months ago. They say first impressions are the best.

Edit: looks like it's been here for a while now, welp never took notice before until today. Hopefully, its not zio-supporter like the name brand DD coffee franchise across from them who are in fact big genocide Seinfeld supporters and sadly are on the BDS list & because there are plenty of thoroughly brainwashed anti-muslim zio supporters all around here.. If you know, you know.

Makes you wonder after every sip, who hasn't been compromised yet? Who's not sucking up to Seinfeld? It is just a matter of time isn't it? They eventually get all of us without us even realizing it.

How did they all know? It only got worse. Everything we used to hear, the murmurs, the chatters, thought that they were just crazy talk, exaggerations and nonsense and now look, its all now right out in the open, right before our very eyes. They were right all along, we been under foreign occupation of the worst kind ever imaginable and it was right under all our noses, and it shrouded itself with the cross, American flag and blind patriotism...it even comes with a neat little yellow ribbon too..a pension, a college fund, green card, visa, an express lane through the friggin airport security, etc..

All I wanted was a Bebsi...

And a nice quiet place to sit, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and a piece of bakery without my patronage supporting the mass murder of Palestinian civilians that are defending their own homeland like the Boston Tea Party. How are people so calm, how are they not hyperventilating?

Aside from these ruminations, this little pasterie shop is literally right across the street from Al-Imaan masjid so you know this is gonna be poppin' from early morning til late at night, at least, it has the potential to be.

Before I even got here, it looks like there were already large group of musalees quietly sitting together and enjoying morning cup of coffee and pastries right outside the store front.

Anna-lisa sparkling eyes greeted me, high energy like she just got out the gym. She is running the counter and is holding down everything outside, she's doing a terrific job, definitely show her love, tip jar is in the front.

Not sure if it's all zabhiha halal items, specifically the sandwiches but if it were, I bet it would be a huuge plus. I was told by a Greek patron here that the owner might already cater to it but I'm not sure, no sign anywhere, maybe because it might look tacky and mess with the feng shui of the place, you know? Besides, owner might have been the guy in the back, he looked busy and I felt shy to ask so I decided to go with chocolate croissant and latte. They didn't disappoint.

Plenty of seatings, clean, good service. And nice table manners, thank you very much.“

“This is our local coffee shop, and my husband and I loved it. Workers and owner are so nice, the chai from there is my favorite!! The first time we went I got a chicken buffalo sandwich, and my husband got a tuna sandwich. Ever since we have tried other items in the menu, the crepes are so so good, and we really recommend this place 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“Excellent service all was delicious“

“Everyone was friendly and casual. The waitress and owner took time to speak with us. The Margherita pizza and meatballs appetizer were good. The tomato sauce was excellent.“

“Such an incredible addition to our hood. ♥️♥️“

“Changing my review. Years ago diner was great. However. Like everything else things have changed. Prices have risen enormously. Service has declined proportionately. Ordering delivery is difficult since the app does not allow subs. You get what they want to send you.“

“Excelente servicio y comida . En pocas palabras una experiencia distinta“

“I liked it! I got some as a gift so I didn’t visit the actual store. All time favorite thing here was the strawberry pastry (if the business replies; please just say the name of that one) SO good. I would come back for that. Fantastic. Fluffy and light and airy with a perfectly sweetened cream fluff inside. Wow.
Corn cheese bread was sooo fun. If it’s served warm; I bet you it’s fantastic but I did eat it a couple of hours after it was ordered.
The fig bread had an amazing texture to it. Light and fluffy like Portuguese bread (I did personally wish the figs were cut smaller to enjoy more evenly but that’s personal preference)
The variety of stuff was really fun! Some things I did not like at all but my friends did so that was just personal preference.“

“The best burger ever! Service impeccable!! I would recommend to everyone!!“
