Great brunch pannini and intimate atmosphere. Would definitely go back for more.

This is truly one of those hidden gems that you'll appreciate IYKYK. I'm absolutely obsessed with this place--everything on the menu is exceptional. Their paninis are perfectly toasted, delivering just the right crunch and flavor every time.

The real showstoppers, though, are the crostinis. They're beyond incredible! I literally come here just for them, and every single one is a masterpiece. While it's a bit on the pricier side, the quality and flavors make it well worth it.

I highly recommend this spot for breakfast or lunch--you won't regret it! OBSESSED!!!

Paninis are pretty big, we ordered fried to split and I ended up taking half of the panini home for dinner.
Piggie Smalls - loved all the flavors, the sweet acidity of the cherry peppers really compliment the goat cheese and pork
Fries - piping hot fresh and fluffy but nothing to write home about in terms of flavor, instead I'd order a basket of the dirty chips

This spot is great!
Vegetarian friendly and super nice staff.

Exceptionally crafted paninis, had the broccoli vegetarian one and the sweet sausage- both were incredibly delicious. This place has earned my trust to really expect their entire menu to be amazing. Oh and they can make a good cappuccino- which is not taken for granted

The breakfast paninis are the best, hands down

When we walked in it wasn’t crowded and I wasn’t psyched. Then Constance/Connie/Con came to our table and everything changed. She’s a delightful person, great communicator and helped us with the menu options. Got the mimosa salad, a chicken (mozzarella) panini and a crostini with artichokes and goat cheese - omg amazing

Best brunch in Astoria. They have the most delicious salads, sandwiches and drinks. The soup is offered during the fall and winter season and comes with a slice of pesto toast, tomato soup is my favorite and I always ask for it during summer. I also love the cookie butter latte. My favorite salad is the roast beets salad and sandwich is the prosciutto, Gorgonzola and fig spread

I’ve ordered paninis and the mimosa salad from here more times than I can count, so delicious every time. The truffle potato salad is also a winner!

This place is adorable; the atmosphere is super cozy & inviting, and the staff was super welcoming & friendly ! I was really excited to try this place & have read previous reviews about how they skimp on ingredients but I really wanted to see for myself as I do love a good panini. Do not get me wrong; the sandwich was DELICIOUS ! The flavors were outstanding, but unfortunately those reviews were correct. We got the roast chicken panini to share & it was really disappointing to see how little chicken there was, and even arugula ! Definitely a let down. I would come here again & again for that panini, if it was priced appropriately for the amount of food you are actually getting.

Great service and their brunch paninis are worth the trip, even when it gets colder. I usually walk over on the weekends and grab a few paninis for me and my friends. I typically get the Pig in Japan or the Wake & Bake. I am also a big fan of their soups!
