A cappuccino from Sway is absolutely undefeated. I have tried every highly rated cafe in astoria you can think of : Mighty Roasters , Sweet Scene, Under Pressure, Kinshop, Coffee Cloud etc and while they are all good, they are not better than Sway. The beans mix they use is their own combination which is why the coffee is so damn good.

Ok a $1.15 upcharge for nondairy milk in a drink is absolutely ridiculous. It's a cute cafe but next time I'm just ordering a black coffee.

My friend and I decided to have a working and coffee catch-up .. so she suggested Sway Coffee and I'm so glad she did. The person working behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a lemon-cinnamon crepe and it was so delicious and fresh.

Ordered:Medium Iced Matcha Latte (~$6): with oat milkPain au Chocolat (~$4)Aya's take:Cozy and generally quiet with a decent amount of indoor and outdoor (covered) seating. The Iced Matcha Latte had good flavor but definitely could've used a sweetener. I wish I had added a syrup to really take it to the next level. On its own, it was still silky and smooth. I don't get why they charge extra for an iced drink. The Pain au Chocolat was pretty average; it didn't taste fresh and there wasn't much chocolate in each bite. Good try but not sure if I'd go back.

Baristas are not nice, at least not if you look certain type of way (Latino). The last 3 times I’ve visited: 1. The barista was too busy on a phone call and gave me dirty looks to me & my mom, like we were annoying her, I wasn’t even in a rush, so I didn’t interrupt her long, personal conversation, we waited and when she finally was ready, she was the one hurrying me in to order fast, cause she was about to get back at her phone call. 2. A long hair barista gave me dirty looks and an attitude, because he didn’t “See me” tipping him cash… I paid with card and put $3 cash tip on the jar, when he handed me my coffee, he asked me if I was “done” with my transaction ?? I said yes & thank you…. He started talking low voice and gave me a nasty look.. (I swear I regretted tipping this person) and just this past week, I ordered, paid in cash, tipped the lady and even made sure she saw me tipping this time… and after she handed me my order, I left the store and she came after me to the street asking me to pay her!!! Like??? I just paid you & tipped you cash!!! And then she was: “Oh I’m sorry it’s the owner who told me to ask you”… like if you as an owner don’t appreciate business from certain type of customers… I don’t think you should be open to the public then. Literally living around the corner, I’ve been getting coffee & croissants from this place since they first open around 5 years ago, trying to support local & small businesses… but customer service quality has decreased lately, making me go just 2 stores down or 3 stores up and get same coffee & sandwich without dealing with horrible customer service or feeling that my barista looks at me in a certain type of way. It’s a shame cause every day more and more businesses in the neighborhood close due to multiple factors, like horrible service or discrimination… it’s almost 2024 and having so many options around, I won’t stick spending money and tipping employees that forget they are not better than me or anyone… we’re all just humans! Like if you even think deeper, they should appreciate that they still on business and get tips.
Ambiance (5/5): the coffee shop is pretty small on the inside and has a couple of spots in an enclosed outer dining space. It is quiet and well lit, cozy and good for getting work done.Service (4/5): the gentleman at the front was very friendly. He took his time getting all the orders ready for the guests.Ham and cheese croissant (3/5): The croissant was delicious; very crispy and buttery! My only complaint was that it only had one egg. It lacked overall flavor since there was no sauce or salt on the egg.Greek Frappe (4/5): the iced coffee includes instant coffee with frothy milk. It reminded me of a dalgona coffee.

Average experience. Though this cafe appears to be cute, the service is slow -to heat up a few items. We were not very impressed with the food or service. we will not be back!1
