“Sincerity… It would be great to bring in a chef and make it a proper pasta restaurant rather than Korean food.. Make pizza, and steak.. There is a strange demand for Korean food in the area.. They also do bubble tea again, and a nice pasta gym at night, and a cafe during the day... There's something so... The food is kind of Korean, but what is this?? It feels like Korean food.. I hope the owner makes a big decision.. Ah, if business goes well... I don't know, but there's something... It's really something... Rather than feeling like healthy Korean food... I don't know.“
“Their turmeric bun is insanely good. Was lucky enough to catch it right as it was fresh out of the oven and waiting to be glazed. Almost doubled back for another one it was so good (self restraint won).Delicate, flaky, caramelized crust. Fluffy, light, moist pull-apart center. I usually find glazed pastries too sweet, but this one was perfect - just sweet enough to hit the spot but not too sweet that it feels heavy.The balance of flavors is just right. Just a hint of turmeric that isn't at all overpowering.“
“I LOVE this cafe!! Such a gem right by Astoria park. My husband and I came across Sunshine Cafe one night and we are so glad we did. The food is so fresh and absolutely delicious. They also have the best lentil soup and iced teas! Last, the owner is the sweetest person!! Highly recommend this spot!“
“Hidden gem! I always see how packed the restaurant is at all times of the day and decided to try it out. The lattes we had were delicious! And the brunch special was superb! The chickpea curry had the perfect amount of spice. The seating area is rather small, so come in early for a seat. We had to sit at the shared seating couch - which is laptop free! I will becoming here again to explore the menu. They also offer some table top games to play while you enjoy your meal“
“Pastries by Anne is one of our favorite shops in the neighborhood. You can count on Anne to always greet you with a smile and to have unique and inventive flavors available. I’m a huge fan of both the Thai iced tea cake and the Triple C. She’s also made cakes for our celebrations, which our guests devoured. We are so lucky to live close to such an incredible pastry shop and Anne herself is the absolute best!“
“I had a latte with avocado toast and they were both by far the best I’ve ever had in my life. And I’ve had a lot of different lattes! This place deserves the ratings.. the service was so friendly and accommodating. I will keep coming back!“
“The food was beautifully presented & fresh, service excellent but ambiance (?). The place is very popular and noisy, so plan to go when it's NOT breakfast - brunch time it you want more than a light conversation with short sentences.“
“What a find ... cracking Aussie style coffee. Bonus that you can grab a Vegemite on toast if you are feeling a little homesick. Food is great. Staff are lovely! Great service from a fun, friendly team. Have popped in a couple of times on this trip. Will definitely come back on my next visit to NY“
“The Charlotte Cafe is my favorite coffee shop in NYC! It’s my neighborhood hang where I’ll go to work, study, or catch up with friends. The coffee is consistently amazing, the food is delicious, and the baristas are exceedingly friendly!“
“Fantastic food and phenomenal service! It felt so cozy in there, like you weren’t in the hustle and bustle of New York City! We had a meat & cheese platter, two salads and a cacio e pepe and everything was incredible! And it was all very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to come back - and can’t wait to tell friends and family about this gem! 10000/10 recommend“
“The Healthy in Dyckman Juice Bar is one of my new favorites! The variety of food options available is mind boggling and I mean that in a good way. As someone who doesn’t eat dairy, I love it here. My favorite thing I’ve tried so far is the Salmon rice bowl. It’s so healthy, delicious, filling, and well priced! The avocado toast with the eggs was hitting too! You must give this gem a try. Thanks Juan for your great service today.Dietary restrictions: If you’re vegan, vegetarian, or don’t eat dairy this place you’ll feel right at home. Healthy vibes apply.“
“AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! The food was absolutely amazing. The flavors, customer service, presentation and overall feel of this place left such a great impact on my friends and I. I literally tried it on Wednesday, and came back with a friend the very next day. My order: Afro Burrito with Chicken; Peanut Stew served over jasmine rice and hot sauce“
“Pleasant cafe is amazing!!! The best Macchiato!!! The best Burek… It’s Dukagjini!!!! A must try in the Steinway/Ditmars area. This a gem in our neighborhood. Such a cute spot to hang out for coffee or later in the evening for drinks. The decor is very chic and well put together. Go and check it out!!“
“This is some of the best food of any kind l've had in my 45 years living in NYC. Honestly, it's amazing, chef Jose is delightful and his dishes are so nuanced and delicious. Octopus tostados are heavenly, I have no idea what all it consist of but they are delicious. There are three, I can't eat more than two but the last is always enjoyed by someone else at the table. Burrito are a staple for my lunch/dinner... so fresh and comforting. AND I'm not really a fan of most Mexican food but this is on a whole other level. I just finished a salad of shrimp, avocado, mango, cherry tomato, with paper thin fennel shredded on top. The shrimp are cooked to perfection, not rubbery at all but ever so slightly firm and succulent. I live in Manhattan and there isn't anything near me as delicious and fresh.It’s really a special place.“

“We had a Happy Hour and and everything was great - Shamim H was our server and he was excellent. Very helpful and funnyETA: came back for happy hour next day and our bartenders Amanda and Chris were awesome as well! Had the labneh tartine and it was delicious!Save room for dessert, get the chocolate fondant ?“
“If you are in the area and want to taste some amazing coffee this is a kiosk you need to stop by. You will not regret tasting this amazing coffee, and be sure to have a chat with the owner. He loves coffee and you can taste the love in the coffee.“
“I enjoyed the avocado toast, with two fried eggs (extra) (they don't do poached). Nothing fancy, nothing catchy. When it came out I prejudged and was thinking, oh hmm, this might not be good. But overall the avocado and the eggs were good enough for a 4⭐, and I think the two things that helped to push it over the edge to 5⭐ were the bread and the pickled peppers. In particular the pickled peppers added a little bit of sweetness and a little kick. Pleasant surprise.Matcha latte was reasonable and not remarkable -- lacking in latte art but slightly making up for it in portion. Also, could have been sifted/whisked some more because there were lumpy chunks at the bottom. Nevertheless I won't let this pull down the 5⭐ for food.~10am on a rainy Sunday morning but the place was almost full. And there was a robust pickup / delivery business.“
“I added salmon, green onion cream cheese, and tomato to the Everything Bagel and it was super delicious!! Be sure to ask for the bagel to be toasted. There was a lot, so I bought one and shared it with my boyfriend, and it was perfect. I'm going again tomorrow.“
“First time here but the had the best experience. Ordered the hobo and my partner ordered a sausage egg and cheese with home fries. It was beyond delicious especially the bread which was soft and pillowy. Also the customer service was amazing, the couple were friendly, warm and had a sense of urgency. Would definitely come back!“
“Thanks to the food here, I was able to travel to New York while recharging my energy. For me, who was embarrassed by the salty, simple taste and expensive food in New York... It was my 'oasis' while I was in New York. I visited it every day for 5 days. Boss, you will prosper!“
“Iconic Coffee is an amazing coffee shop with good coffee and a clean cute inside perfect to work. The staff is so kind and helpful! They talk to you and make your experience enjoyable. Plus they’re super quick and clean!! Prices are great especially for this area! I got the vanilla caramel macchiato which is $5.99 and the cup is huge!! You get so much for how much you pay with great quality. The brown sugar shaken espresso has a unique and tasty aftertaste again at 5.49. I recommend! Great location, atmosphere, staff, and coffee.Dietary restrictions: They have different milks“
“I don't ever really write reviews, but after today's visit I wanted to share. I have been going to Cafe Turkey since they first opened, the food is very yummy, fresh, the service is amazing. Today I went there at 9PM, after a long day at work. They were getting ready to close, no one was there but they opened the back area for me to have dinner, turned on the heat, let me take my time to eat didn't rush me, AG was very welcoming and so kind to check if I needed anything and let me stay after they close for the day. It felt like a family not a just business. Thank you AG for making my night feeling so welcome at my local favorite restaurant in Astoria.“
“I've gone here well over 50 times, and their coffee and espresso drinks are so delicious. To pair with their rich coffee tastes, they have fresh soft pastries too and grab-n-gos like overnight oats. They have many different milks and flavors and a point rewards system. My favorite cafe!“
“Fabulous! You could spend so much money in here and never feel unhappy about it. Totally vegan it's actually quite large with lots of places to sit and just plants everywhere. if I had more money, I would buy myself every single plant and item they have here. lovely food, lovely staff, highly recommend! please support your neighborhood, vegan place.“
“The interior is very cute, but the space is too small for people to sit and eat coffee or bread.Personally, I recommend iced tiramisu latte because it is so delicious.Parking: There's a lot to say about this...After confirming that I could park for free inside the building, I went in and parked... but I couldn't enter the building itself, so I had to call someone when I went in, and when I went back to pick up my car, I had to call someone, but there was no response and there was no place to ask, so I had to drive directly into the basement. I walked down the street.“
“I have wanted to visit the Sweets & Cafe Bakery for a long time. It is a few blocks away from my dentist, and I finally had the opportunity to visit last Friday, March 8, 2024. The service was excellent, and the two staff people who took and served my order were very professional, friendly and helpful. The cafe con leche was MUY DELICIOSO, and the ocho with guava and cream was also very tasty. The place was so clean, and the bathroom was also very clean and well-stocked, too. I look forward to returning as soon as I can.“
“I stumbled upon this cafe, lured in by the need for quality espresso to wake up from long flight, and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. But, there was a moment that had me scratching my head. When I asked for a long shot, the staff seemed a bit lost, not quite sure what I was after. It took a kindly gentleman's guidance for them to get the hang of it. Watching this unfold, I couldn't help but wonder about the espresso lingo barrier in NYC cafes. Turns out, a long shot isn't as common as I thought in the city. Who knew? After a bit of back and forth, with the staff member checking in to see if he should keep the espresso flowing a bit longer, we got there in the end. And I've got to say, the result was worth the mini espresso education session. The long shot was bold, smooth, and had a depth of flavor that took me by surprise. It was a reminder of how a little patience can lead to some pretty delightful outcomes.Vegetarian options: I mean, most of snacks don’t involve meat.Dietary restrictions: Dairies should be opted for alternatives.Kid-friendliness: Hot chocolate and warm milk for you!Wheelchair accessibility: Very tight entry as well as the space. Might struggle to move around“
“We were in Queens and asked a friend who lived in area for dinner recommendations. We are super happy he did. This place is great. All 4 of us loved our dishes and service. The place was packed but they keep it moving and everyone looks quite happy with their food. Some of the best pasta we’ve had in a long time. The mushroom pasta I had was on long thick cuts of homemade pasta cooked perfectly and the mushoom mixture was excellent and I really appreciated it cooked in white wine sauce instead of heavy cream you usually get. My wife ordered something not on the menu for her and my daughter. Home made spaghetti with vodka sauce and grilled shrimp and waiter offered meatballs and spaghetti for my daughter. They loved it. My son had the lasagna and finished every morsel. I don’t leave too many reviews but this place deserves it 100%. Thank you.“
“Just moved to the area and Charlotte Cafe was an incredible surprise. An authentic italian experience, with cornettos (croissants) the same as the one you would get in Bologna. The staff is very friendly and professional. It would be amazing if they added vegan cornettos as well.“
“Went around Monday afternoon, was in the mood for something for a quick bite. When you walk in there is always a warm and cheerful welcome. Grace is always so kind and patient to customers who go in, was unsure of what to get yet she was so kind to explain the items the café provided. Decided to buy a bacon and cheese egg sandwich, K-corn dog, and Croffles. She was so kind explaining each ingredient and it’s uniqueness. 10/10 would come again!!“
“When I entered the store, I saw a simple decoration and a few pots of flowers, but it was very comfortable and peaceful. I could sit there quietly and enjoy the coffee latte made by the boss. I really liked this coffee latte. I took a sip and tasted it slowly in my mouth, feeling the taste of coffee and milk mixed together. Then I just want to say, Wow, it tastes good. I like it. And the boss is very nice.“
“Stopped for coffee and a menu item. Wonderful food. I had a latte and house toast. Spoke with the owner who was there. If it was wrong, he fixed it for a different customer. Wait time to get seated was about 10 minutes as restaurant was full.“
“The drip they had was columbian-blend from coffee project, hence very dark-chocolately. The matcha latte was very unique — it had a seaweed-like flavor which I’ve never experienced with other matcha powders. I was impressed by the decor, though the space itself is tight.“
“This is such a nice little hidden gem, it offers some amazing deserts and pastries. Their cakes are too die for. I personally have tried a few of their vegan & gluten free cakes which weee definitely something new, but were great. The service is always 10/10 very helpful and informative, it's a cute little place to hide away from all the commotion of NYC and enjoy a little delight.“
“Our group headed into NYC for our usual Christmas visit and happened upon Tartinery Cafe in Olympic Tower when we were looking for a place to sit after Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral and before the Christmas Show started. What a find! We all had hot chocolate and avocado toast with a pouched egg. The hot chocolate was made and did not come from a "machine", the avocado was not from a package and was very good. We were very happy with our service as well - David could not have been more accommodating, friendly and helpful. We chose table service and he was very attentive and even though it was quite busy, we NEVER felt ignored at all. I suggest Tartinery Cafe at Olympic Tower if you are looking for a quick snack and nice atmosphere. We were very happy and satisfied with our choices and service and would happily go back next time we are in the area! Thank you David for a great experience and great conversation!“
“The only proper Italian coffee in Harlem, or for that matter most of NYC. Sit down and savour a finely made caffeinated beverage in a nice ceramic cup!They also have spectacularly great house-made pasta, and delicious pastry. Great vibe, staff, and hang.“

“I was there on an unplanned visit but to my surprise this place had a very good romantic vibe. Unique food options that tasted really good and they were served in a really adequate position size! I would totally recommend this place for a chill dinner or if you want to try something new! I can't wait to go back for dinner again!“
“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.“
“Joey No Nuts has been a longtime favorite of mine, as someone who was often concerned about the presence of nuts in coffee or other products from other bakeries, Joey No Nuts was a huge relief to find. Not only do they pride themselves on their allergy safe offerings, their service, food quality, and community involvement is unmatched in Hoboken. If you want Actually good coffee that is free from nut allergens, I cannot recommend this cafe more.Dietary restrictions: Joey No Nuts is nut-free, thus the absolutely excellent name of the cafe. They are happy to provide an unmatched quality of nut free offerings at their inviting cafe.“
“We had a nice breakfast with one of my friend. I have been first time in this such a cute place but I really like the atmosphere since I stepped in.Such a nice and friendly owner and workers are makes you feel like you’re in your home.I also enjoyed the foods. She made everything more than delicious.Definitely will come back again..“
“Great place for breakfast or lunch, the food is incredible and made with fresh ingredients. Some of the best service I had and the prices are more than fair! They really care for the quality of the food, hard not to go back! Coffee is great!Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance plenty wide, spacious enough to sit at any table with a wheelchair.“
“My husband and I had one of the Best dining experience last night at Cafe Carmellini.The restaurant is so elegantly decorated, romantic for dates and also sophisticated for business meetings. We were warmly greeted by Mr. Banat. He took us to a table in the kitchen that was specially set up for our anniversary celebration. We got to see how the kitchen staffs work their magic. Chef Mr. Carmellini came to greet us and explained the entire menu to us, how often does that happen in such a fine dining establishment! One thing I value a lot is the drinks, their cocktails were craftily made, I want to say they were some of the BEST cocktails I ever had; they also have great Champagne selections. We order Oysters, blue-fin tuna, shrimp colonnata, wild-salmon and the black bass; I must say they were all beautifully presented and exceptional delicious! The lady who served us was nice and friendly.As first time customers we were felt privileged and were so pleased with the entire experience! Our gratitude to Café Carmllini and their wonderful staffs for such a beautiful anniversary celebration!“
“We found this place by chance. The owner quickly found a place to accomodate the whole family. Delicious food, cozy and relaxed sitting area, good wifi, and really friendly service. We had delicious sandwiches, nice quinoa bowls, and a wonderful megaccino. Perfect place. Central Park is very close.“
“What an amazing, new favorite neighborhood cafe! A curious visit that turned into an 'addiction' :) Food is super fresh and very tasty, and by now my family have tried many menu items.Try their Veggie Heaven ( I have never seen my mom wolf down a full sandwich like this one, time and again), their avocado toast, the chopped salad, and the Waldorf salad (with or without the chicken!) -- just great!We've tried vanilla lattes, chai teas, peach iced teas, among others, and all got super high marks as well!Service is as good as it gets, pleasant and kind. We always feel so welcome, even when packed.On top, the place is like a melting pot of people from different backgrounds, walks of life, different languages -- the perfect atmosphere for all!“
“This little gem is incredible to say the least!!! Korean owned deli with an extended menu of deliciousness. Food came out promptly and everything was fresh, delicious flavors and everything e extremely well executed.Cant wait to go back because even my black coffee was incredible. Best of luck ?“
“Isabella and Alfredo created a very unique establishment where its patrons will feel the vibe of visiting a friend's house for dinner rather than a restaurant. The ambiance is very eclectic, cozy and welcoming. You can tell the decor was hand picked by the owners and each individual piece tells a story, including the name which the owners were kind enough to share with us. Isabella's menu delivers Hungariarian flavor with a touch of Balkan spin, creating a rare feast for your tastebuds. The dishes are mouth watering, well cooked and flavorful. Many thanks to my fellow fine watch connoisseur, who's name I cant remember, my appologies. We really enjoyed our time there, the food and the friendliness of the owners are second to none!“
“This is one of the cutest and cleanest coffee shops I've ever been. Plus, I'm so fortunate to have it right around the block from my apartment. Lucky to have it around! The owner is so nice and friendly, the coffee is great and the atmosphere is so cozy. Come and check it out if you can!“
“I've walked by this spot hundreds of times but finally stopped in for a coffee and obligatory pastry. Everything looked so beautiful! I got an apricot tart, which was lovely. Excellent coffee. Great service. Will return for a bomboloni for sure!“
“This is a great little breakfast and lunch place that does mostly takeout but has a few tables to sit and eat. Within walking distance of several car dealerships so my dealer recommended that I go have breakfast there while my car was being serviced. Such a great and welcoming staff! I had a delicious omelet platter and was impressed that they offer a great selection of teas. Enjoy!“
