Quiet and charming neighborhood coffee cafe.

Visited for the first time, walked by and we love LOTR. But weren’t impressed with the service. When asking about their alternative milk options the barista rudely told me to look on a sign and when I asked for soy (since I couldn’t find the sign) he seemed annoyed that that was the one thing they didn’t have. Coffee was okay, a little overpriced. Pastries were mostly sold out on the Wednesday afternoon we were there so couldn’t try it.

My brother got a cold brew with some added ingredients: 5 out 10.
I got the pumpkin spiced ice latte: 6/10
Idk, something really lacked in depth? Coffee flavors were very underwhelming.
The cookie and cheese croissant was 8/10 though. Really flavourful, crispy and chewy!
I've seen pictures that they serve sandwiches but when we went in, there were no signs or menus besides the few pastries they had out on display. Since it was our first time there and there were a few people in line, I didn't want to take up time and ask about items that weren't on their display menus. Kind of disappointed, maybe we will go back and try again and ask them.
Overall, experience was 6/10, there wasn't much sitting space since I guess one person wants to sit right in the middle of the biggest couch there. Haha.

Is this place invite-only or something? Because every time I walk in, they act like I’m not supposed to be there. Absolutely rancid customer service and vibes.

Came in first thing in the morning with my girlfriend and ordered two of their campfire lattes, which we were excited for as we love craft lattes. However, what we got were two cups of flavorless, lukewarm coffees that didn’t even fill the cups. Surprised that the coffee came out this way considering it was opening time. Disappointed, but the food was decent despite being overpriced.

If you want the best quality of ingredients, from the coffee beans, to the milk, and a great cup of coffee, then please do yourself a favor and stop by Elevanese Cafe. Since it first opened, the staff has always been friendly, the location is always clean, and it’s a perfect community-inclusive space. Now let’s get to the pastries: no one in Astoria and almost NYC compares to the pastries here. Truly, try anything you can while you can, especially if it’s seasonal. The owner is obviously very knowledgeable when it comes to how pastries should taste. Forever my favorite cafe in Astoria. Glad this place is only blocks away from my home.

These are actually THE best pastries I've ever had—better than any of the overhyped bakery joints in Brooklyn or Manhattan.

They are incredibly thoughtful about where they source their ingredients—they're not mass-baking these 100s at a time so you may need to come early. Pro tip: check their IG to see what pastries are on display! They change the pastries frequently, but everything I've eaten here has been perfection.

And the best coffees as well!

I asked for a hot latte but they gave me iced (not the end of the world). It was a bit of a confusing system as they didn't seem to have a ticket or label system to ensure the barista knew what they were making. The iced latte was good and I got a heirloom tomato pastry which was delicious!
