“Beautiful space and friendly staff. We were welcomed by very polite and courteous gentleman and even though we didn’t have a reservation (we didn’t know we needed one) they were able to accommodate us with no hesitation. Giovanni offered us nice drinks and tea along with a delicious shisha. She was very helpful when we had questions about flavors and was very attentive during the time we were there. Will definitely come back. Only thing to note is that if you enjoy a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, try to go on the earlier part of the afternoon/night as it gets louder and feels more like a nightclub later in the evening.Vegetarian options: Dry nuts and French fries“
“We love everything about this local shop. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and the products are always fresh and delicious. This past week we ordered a custom birthday cake due to dietary restrictions and it was a hit. We can’t recommend this place enough.“
“So bummed this place wasn’t around when I was growingUp in Queens (Us Cubans are a rare breed to find in NYC period!) I live in NJ now and still haven’t had really good Cuban food! ? I went to visit my homies in Ridgewood (she’s half Cuban & from Miami -so she knows good Cuban food!!)and was BLOWN away when my order of ropa vieja was delivered…HOLY SHHHHHHH it was delicious & I even had left overs! Generous portions & tasty! Soooo good I to jump online and leave a review! Love this spot!!! HIGHLY recommend!! Took a pic midway through cause it was so yumm!“
“Cooper and Peanut loves going to Annie’s. The staff and Tom(owner) are very friendly! Love a space to do some work and hang out with other pups! Cooper gets to play with other dogs while Peanut is learning how to socialize. My go to drink is the strawberry lemonade.“
“I went over the weekend to this restaurant following my sister's suggestion. I want to said that she was 100% correct when she claimed that the chicken was the best she had ever had. After trying I can also attest to it, the chicken coupled with crisp veggies and flavorful rice was a good choice. We also tried the sangria and it was pretty good as well.I am planning to come back soon as there are other dishes that I would like to try.At last, the staff was super friendly and willing to please....Kudos to this new neighborhood restaurant!“
“Located on busy Broadway so street parking. Maybe have been lucky bec I usually get a spot when needed. Prices are good. Ube latte is a big cup at $5. Not too sweet for me. Chocolate croissant $3.50 was good warmed which made the filling gooey. Good space with small tables in front of the cafe and better in the back. Maybe could be cozier with dimmer lighting. Friendly service. Clean restroom available.“
“I’ve been a long time customer since it’s grand opening. Nina, Julie, Paul, and staff have done an amazing job at cultivating a sense of community that I have not seen at any cafe before and it is a unique staple of forest hills, queens. They are really good at developing their staff and you can really see that the staff feel appreciated and enjoy working there. And by community, somehow the customers the cafe attracts are all positive and super nice. The cafe makes you want to act on your best behavior maybe because we all know we want to keep coming here and keep the vibes great. lol I enjoy the customers and the interactions here. Finally writing my review. Hope the cafe remains.“
“Incredibly homey service and atmosphere!! Everything was delicious and very fresh. The dips and platters were absolutely unforgettable, vibrant flavors and amazing balance in taste — not a single complaint first time going! (those lemon potatoes are nothing less than mind blowing) Everything tasted completely authentic and don’t skip on the Greek hot coffee, made over sand and very rich tasting. The deserts also were an extremely satisfying end to a meal, being very rich and delectable. Service was wonderful, giving all customers a friendly and comforting welcome, making everything feel natural and inviting.“
“Discovered this place accidentally. I was craving coffee and wanted a beach day, so happy I came here.? phenomenal mocha! Loved every sip! Truly woke me up and made me smile.?I got the large mocha with oat milk?I got the spinach pastry , it was alright.? great ambience and atmosphere? phenomenal decor! Would love to come here and spend more time here.? very spacious and clean, different places to sit and enjoy.? the lady in the front was new , but very nice.Overall highly recommend(I also matched this place by accident…it was meant to be).Vegetarian options: Options availableDietary restrictions: Gluten free Options available“
“I ordered a mocha latte and it was really good (they use stumotown coffee so it was a good sign from the beginning). The vibe of the place was very chill and very photo friendly even the bathroom! Batista was super friendly and accommodating.“
“10/10! Highly recommend. The drinks are reasonably priced. The food is freshly made and delicious. The atmosphere is soothing and welcoming. The seating is limited but sharing a table with a stranger isn’t so bad. All of the patrons were extremely kind. A great work from home (wfh/remote) setting! I’ll be returning soon!“
“Compass Cafe is a light in the neighborhood, it is set apart. From the outside to the inside you can feel a difference. The workers are so nice and friendly. The options are limitless. They always have great new and fun ideas for every season! It’s fully missioned based…where else can you find that? Compass and Hope are my home!“
“Definitely a home style friendly environment, the owner definitely treats customers with open arms. The price is extremely reasonable and the quality of the food is amazing, reminds me of a local snack shop i use to have back in my hometown. Would definitely recommend for a grab and go?“
“This coffee shop is a gem. It’s neat, modern, clean, and the atmosphere is super soothing. There are words of affirmation on their mugs, which was a nice surprise.I had a latte with oat milk and it was refreshing. Seems to be a good place to order some coffee, read a book or get some work done. I didn’t get to check if there was WiFi or not, but this is a place I’d be willing to use my hotspot for.The staff were very warm and welcoming — I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the neighborhood to try a pastry or two! Thank you.“
“Pretty cool donut shop. Cool music in the background. Donuts come out fresh and warm! You can order ice cream to go with your donuts. I didnt try the coffee, but I hope it’s good cuz then they got the trifecta of the delectable dessert thing down ?“
“The environment in this cafe was calm and relaxed. This is a great place for you to finish up any work you need and the type of music gives a nice cafe vibes. The food I order was good and I would definitely order again. The mayo spam kimbap was flavorful and I devoured that meal like in five minutes. I would totally recommend this cafe.“
“I ordered a chai latte on a Saturday at 12:30 PM. It was perfect flavor, sweetness and temperature. I got it with almond milk. I brought in a bagel from another place. However, I saw that they also sell bagels and I heard people ordering an egg sandwich as well as other items, I also noticed they have healthy shakes as well. Since I live nearby I got a punchcard and I hope to visit soon. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty positive that it's Latin owned possibly female owned as well. There's not too much seating, I believe there's three tables of two inside and two tables outside. Luckily, not too many people stay for long periods of time I was able to stay for two hours, talking to my friend with no problem.“
“So delicious Rich in flavors, and tastes, very very very creamy , soft and sweet !Love it!! I highly recommend the cream, vanilla cake & chocolate mousse cake. The service is amazing. Everyone is so nice and everything looks so pretty. Must try the pastries too you wont regret it.“
“What a bright and open space to work in! Their brewed coffee is perfect — strong but not overwhelming or burnt. Also got their vanilla latte which was a perfect combination of milk for coffee. Their teriyaki chicken sandwich was yummy; it wasn’t too dry. Highly recommend!“
“So far everything I've ordered from here is delicious. My friends and I love the Gelato, macaroons, their keylime pie is so rich. Overall great experience ordering - I have never been in store for the experience but that may change soon.“
“Nice friend/associate meet-up spot with a calm and inviting ambience.The juices and smoothies are a 10/10 for me! And they’ve a few games to play with others. Highly recommend going here. They only have turmeric bread, though. Small detail, yet important to name for some people.“
“Everything is so fresh and homemade! The guac is a must-have. Each portion is made to order. They even put the pit in there to prove to you that each order has a full avocado in it that they just cut open! My family loves this place and we are regular visitors. One of our favorite local small businesses!“
“Guess I got myself addicted to this delicious gem in town !Best bubble tea I had!Yes, it’s Kosher andincredibleThank you to the owner for coming and catering to our communityCan’t wait to be backAuthentic boba made fresh, every hour on the hour !!!Prices are very fairI will be hooked and coming back during the hot days ? can’t wait to bring all my friends to try it“
“My main local hangout since I was 15! If you're a vegan, gluten-free or whatever, this place has got you covered! They have a great food selection and an amazing coffee/tea selection too! Try the awesome deserts as well! Atmosphere is that of gothic/punk east village right here closer to home! Tell them "Gordo" sent you!“
“Wanted a nice cup of velvety not too sweet strong coffee! Found this gem and the Lady up front so sweet! Recommended a macchiato. Got the vanilla flavor and she made it perfect! So happy found another coffee spot that is worth the beans for your bucks! And service too!“
“This is a very cute shop, my hubby and I took a long drive here but it was well worth it. The minute I walked in, I was so happy seeing and smelling their delicious mochi donuts. They have a delicious selection on teas as well. If I lived closer, I'd go there every day. The service was great, the woman who helped us was so kind and friendly.“
“I just stumbled upon this cute little shop & I’m obsessed! Great customer service and treats! I can’t wait to be back and try the espresso.The owner is so lovely - gave me a free espresso cupcake so I can give it a try! It was yummy “
“Found this place when looking for a new cozy coffee spot. My boyfriend lives in Flushing so this was close enough for us to drive to, and the crepes looked so good. We came in on a cold snowy day, and immediately felt the warmth of fresh coffee and sweet fluffy crepes. We also got a croissant sandwich which was one of our favorite breakfast foods lately. The owner, George, was so friendly, and we spent a while just chatting to him about shared interests and family life.If you’re looking for a welcoming place to enjoy some great food, yummy coffee, and where you’re supporting a small business instead of a corporation, Maillard is for you. Worth the drive even from Long Island. We’ll be back soon!“
“Quick and easy to grab a nice dessert after a meal. The ambiance is wonderful. A very vibrant environment for sure. The dessert options at the various Prince tea locations are great. Definitely check this place out if you are in the flushing area and looking for a dessert place!“
“Love the atmosphere, the staff are friendly and well-mannered. I had to get a place to stop by to settle some matters only, ended up ordering not only the latte, I had the yummy sweet and spicy friend chickens! ☺️. The staff did a good job in recommending drinks and foods! Kudos to the team! Will definitely go again the next time when I visit Flushing! ??????????“
“My mother has been a patient for years. I'm very grateful/ lucky to have such an amazing/ caring/ dedicated professional team, helping my mother manage her pain with treatment/medications. Dr. Ji Han and the entire staff are amazing professionals, knowledgeable. Thank you for always making sure, that my mother receives the best care tailored to her specific medical needs.“
“Lovely welcome by hostess and owner and waitesss which set the tone for our brunch today Had the Rothschild breakfast which was delicious especially with my double order of labne! My husband had the Ahi Tuna burger which was also very tasty Will definitely be back!“
“i went here last friday and bought a plain bagel with cream cheese, and it was really good. the cafe itself was nice and clean and the staff were really nice.however, the bagel i had didn't seem fresh or made there, it was similar to those bagels you can buy in variety from a super market :(.i'd still go again though, thank you!!“
“Coffee were good! Very limited items to eat especially for Keto. My husband had their chocolate muffin and said it was very good. Banana was more dense. Moca coffee was excellent and cappuccino was good.Over all place was clean coffee was great. They had great games to selections to play. Good hangout“

“A cute and cozy cafe that makes the best croissants and matcha lates.This place is beautifully decorated, great customer service and their cookies and cupcakes are pieces of art.The building address is on Irving Ave but the entrance is by Jefferson Ave. ?I highly recomend it!P.S.: I would like to see a bigger sign that stand up and make the business a little more visible for public. ?“
“Excellent in all its aspects, the only thing is that the place is a little small, but this does not really matter nor does it affect the quality of their products, the service is very good and fast, especially Annie's attention ?Thai Milk Tea recommended“
“Very convenient location..Perfect spot for enjoying a cup of coffee..I ordered the crunch dessert and it was delicious!..loved it..it was a Nutella dream come true..but we also ordered the tiramisu and that was disappointing..the coffee powder was thick instead of a light coat so the first bites tended to be dry..there was a cream colored swirl topping that we thought was a soft cream..it wasn't..it was hard and very bland tasting..tiramisu wasn't worth the price..“
“Loved every second here. I've been here for dinner before but never came for brunch. I actually loved my brunch experience even more so. The only thing is that is was loud but honestly that didn't matter because the vibes in there were so chill and the food was incredible. Hands down one of my favorite spots in Astoria.“
“Please remember to bring CASH ? ? for tips. Unfortunately, they only take cash for tipping the servers. Apart from that, everything is great about this place. I've eaten here several times in the last 7 years and ordered delivery when I've been a patient at NYU. Each time the meals have been delicious, the service is impeccable ?? and I leave satiated and truly satisfied.This last visit, I ordered the flank steak, and it was done perfectly and seasoned well. Remember... bring CASH!!! Although their are ATMs ? next door, you can avoid the fees if you just remember that I specifically reminded you to bring CASH!!! ? ? ? ?#LocalGem #GreatDiner #theresthatfoodie“
“I found Java Day Cafe while out in Queens this past Monday. I had a few hours to kill in between meetings and was looking for a cafe to WFH. At the owners recommendation, I ordered The Frenchie, as well as two hash browns (hey don't judge, I was starvin marvin!). The Frenchie consisted of 2 pieces of delicious cinnamon french toast with sausage, egg and cheese nestled inside. I washed it down with a delicious large coffee with almond milk. I chose a table by the window, which had 2 outlets below, so I was able plug away on my laptop and enjoy my food, with no low battery stress. I ended up having three coffees during my stint there and lucky for me, their bathroom was super spacious and clean... love that! All in all, happy to have stumbled upon this awesome Flushing/Auburndale gem!“
“If you’re a vegetarian or vegan I highly recommend the brunch bowl with vegan chicken tenders! It comes with sliced tomato’s and cucumbers and the BEST garlic rice I’ve ever tried in NYC. It also comes with hot sauce to dip your tenders in and it’s fantastic. I asked them to add a scrambled egg on it and it was the cherry on top. They happily obliged :’)Their iced oat milk latte was decent but not the best I had. I will be back for that brunch menu again though :)Overall great service and great food.“
“The dessert here is yummy! The mochi taiyaki is a must get. So warm and chewy. The outside kinda reminds me of a croissant. The red bean filling was a surprise. We also got a match shaved ice. While it was shaved ice it was also very creamy when eaten. I would definitely come back for the mochi!“
“Easily the best coffee shop in Whitestone, maybe even Queens. Their cold brew is my personal favorite drink but the whole menu is superb. The staff cares about patrons and it shows in their demeanor. This place is the real deal. Check it out if you’re in the area!Also they play amazing music ?“
“Love this place the service is amazing the workers are so nice and friendly, the place inside is always super clean. As for the food and drinks are always so good and perfect 10/10 would recommend. Telling all my friends about this delicious hidden Gem ?!!“
“Every time I come here the workers are personable, the food is amazing, and I feel like I'm always aiming to try something new! If you're looking for high quality breakfast, lunch and/or sweets, look no further. Definitely will keep returning.“
“Located within the vibrant Tangram Mall in Flushing, Queens, Maiko Matcha is a haven for matcha enthusiasts and dessert aficionados alike. With its unwavering commitment to quality and a passion for Japanese culinary traditions, Maiko Matcha promises an unforgettable taste experience that transcends expectations.During my recent visit to Maiko Matcha, I was instantly captivated by the serene ambiance and inviting aroma of freshly brewed matcha. As someone who typically isn't a matcha aficionado, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality and nuanced flavor profile of their matcha offerings. Each sip was a symphony of delicate flavors, perfectly balanced and exquisitely crafted to delight the senses.In addition to their exceptional matcha beverages, Maiko Matcha offers a tantalizing array of desserts that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. We indulged in their Strawberry Soft Serve, a refreshing treat that boasted the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, leaving us craving more with each spoonful.One of the highlights of our visit was the Mochi Waffle, a delightful fusion of Japanese and Western culinary influences.“
“Bean House is easily one of the best cafes in this area. I hope they expand because whenever I am here, it’s always packed! The coffee is delicious, I think I’ve tried 6 different variations now and they’re all amazing. The ambiance is cozy and I love their baked goods in the front. Smoothies are also really good and their honey toast is a nice treat. Highly recommend“
“I love this little cafe. It’s always a peaceful and calming vibe here. The music is great, clean and they have an outdoor patio. Also, the coffee drinks are really good. You can customize everything. I really liked the white chocolate mocha. Great place to relax and chill or just get some work done!“
“This coffee shop is such a calming environment. Beautiful to say the least. The matcha latte was had was made very well. However I subtracted a star bc there is no wifi. Maybe they are trying to deter people from working there but I found that “
“Quite possibly the tastiest McDonald’s I’ve had in years. And I still eat it. It was noticeably better. The fires the burger was seasoned my pie wasn’t burned it was cooked to perfection. The staff was all Haitian women. That quite definitely had something to do with it. Service wasn’t amazing. But nothing that made it bad just sub par. The lot can be a night mare. And kids are in abundance in there after 3 so you can’t dine until after 6pm“
