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.

Love it here and one of my favorite local go to spots. I come very regularly for the coffee, but when having a bad day, I also find their pastries to be a great pick me up. The vibes are very pleasant as the team is very nice and it’s a great spot to sit and relax.

Great coffee, definitely recommend try their Turkish coffee. Snacks are good also, definitely will pass by again whenever I’m in the area.
I stopped by this little coffee shop on a whim, and wow, I’m so glad I did! The coffee and bagels were amazing and the owner is the nicest person ever. Super friendly and made me feel so welcome, like I’d been coming here forever. The place has such a cozy vibe, and the pastries. Don’t even get me started—so good! Definitely my new go-to spot. If you’re in the area, you HAVE to check it out!

Cafe Sparrow is a tiny and adorable spot in Astoria with a cozy atmosphere, especially with all the Halloween decor, which I really appreciated. The server was very sweet and accommodating when we made adjustments to our order.
However, I was disappointed to find out that the cafe is under new ownership. It used to be a fully halal restaurant, but now they sell pork, and I was informed that it’s not kept separately from the chicken and beef items. This was a big letdown as we were specifically looking for a halal brunch option.
Since it was their grand reopening week, half the menu wasn’t available, which limited our choices. Unfortunately, the food we did try was mediocre at best. My latte was watery, and although I ordered vanilla flavor, I could barely taste it. My mom had the karak chai, which should be a strong, spiced black tea, but it just tasted like overly sweetened warm milk with very little spice. You could even see how light it was in color, which isn't typical for karak.
Service was a bit slow, and it took a while to receive our full order. My mom's simit sandwich was disappointing: the simit was stale, the tomatoes were soggy, and the cheese was flavorless. The egg that came with it was undercooked, with parts of it still clear and runny. I ordered the chicken sandwich but substituted the chicken with egg, and unfortunately, it was still incredibly overpriced at $17. For that price, I expected more than just cheap white bread with a few chunks of avocado, strong red onions, and scrambled egg. The chips served on the side were straight out of a bag and vinegar-flavored, which I didn’t enjoy.
The only saving grace was the Turkish delight, which had good flavor but was dry and clearly not fresh, likely sitting out for days.
Overall, while the ambiance was cute and the server kind, the food and service didn’t live up to expectations, especially given the changes in the menu. I probably wouldn’t return, especially if you’re specifically looking for halal options.

Small but nice little space. Good coffee drinks.
Real astoria gem. Turkish coffee is amazing.
