A hidden gem of a little café that feels like home the moment you walk in. Everything is made from scratch using fresh, organic ingredients, and you can truly taste the care in every bite. The lovely owner who runs the place pours so much love into her cooking, it’s food that comforts your soul as much as it feeds you. A simple, beautiful spot that reminds you how special homemade food can b. Highly recommended!

I love coming here whenever I’m in the area. Maria is a sweetheart, she treats you like you’re family. The food is fresh, homemade, and tasty. Everything we’ve tried, the sandwiches, the coffee, the juices – amazing flavor.

Ms. Maria is amazing. It feels like going to your grandma’s house. The food is delicious, the attentions are unequivocal and the space cozy. I live far but would delightedfully will go to Astoria just for the delicious bowl of lentil soup and amzing pastries in an welcoming environment.

Hello all, The first time I visited this store it was refreshing to find decent lentil soup. However, the owner changes the prices when she feels like it. The second time I went there she charged me $8 dollars for a slice of spinach pie and a coffee was $2. After I asked for clarification, from her daughter on another visit. The prices seemed confirmed. The third time I went she charged me two dollars extra and it was only a couple of weeks later. She said, it’s usually this price. She is friendly when she feels like being friendly and ignores when she feels like it. If someone doesn’t want to talk they should just say so. Then she asks me when am I coming again, as I’m preparing to leave, like she usually does and says she likes me. Yet, ignores me when I talk about myself or anything she’s not interested in. It’s like dealing with a split personality. It’s disingenuous and I won’t be going back there!

Had breakfast at Mary's Sunshine Cafe, the food was just fantastic.
The egg and Swiss cheese sandwich was so yummy, with fluffy homemade bread, and that special green sauce enhanced the flavor 10x. She also served me with a glass of fresh orange juice, very smooth and refreshing.
The place is a hidden gem, a must-do experience in Astoria. I'd definitely go again.

This place is absolutely family-friendly and has the most beautiful atmosphere. I always come here with the little boy I nanny, and every single time it feels so cozy, welcoming, and full of good vibes. The staff are kind, the food and drinks are delicious, and the space is bright and full of life — honestly, it’s a 10 out of 10 experience every time. One of my favorite spots! 💛

I always have the best food in this beautiful cafe, best lentil soup, spinach pie, cheese pie and meat. The owner cooks with love and always welcomes me and my friends. Lately she did catering for me and all my guest loved the food. She had it ready for pick up earlier than we even asked for and wrapped very well.
