I grabbed a flat white for a friend and a cold brew for myself -- both were well made and hit the spot.

We were on the hunt for a place in flushing that we can go to and not have to rush for seats. Grey cafe is not too far from here but it's always been packed. I love that this place is cute, has Ube drinks that actually taste like Ube (Filipino girlie here)- don't go to Starbucks. Free WiFi, specialty drinks for the win, pastries. It would had been great if there was multiple print copies of the menu so that it doesn't get congested at the register. There is no menu on the wall so I did felt a bit rushed and pressured since it's my first time there as I didn't know what to get.

Totally a fan! It was my first visit with my buddy and fellow Yelper Jo I. The environment and…read moreaesthetic is a much welcomed concept in Queens. Walking in, you see green, lots of it in the form of lush plants and flowers everywhere. There is no over powering scents and the high ceilings do make the space feel open and calm. The counter to order is closer to the rear of the store and there's plenty of cafe style seating and communal seating all around. In warmer months, they put small tables and chairs outside on the sidewalk. The artisanal coffee here is what sets them apart. Bold flavor choices, robust and velvety varieties. Many options to choose from, check out the menu pics. I had the Americano and loved it. We also ordered hot food while hanging out. As they are popular for brunch, Jo and I shared the lemon curd blueberry pancakes as well as the savory salmon lox pancake. We likely over ordered but didn't mind, as we're always open to trying more dishes. The lemon curd blueberry was our favorite. I liked that there was extra lemon curd on the side and the blueberries were fresh. They were lightly dusted with powered sugar and thankfully not bathed in syrup. It was a light and satisfying dish even though it was pancakes. Didn't feel heavy at all. The ice cream was a nice touch so you could consider this as a dessert. The lox and eggs were really good as well. Those pancakes were topped with tomato, greens and avocado. Like a full meal on a plate. So glad we shared everything. I'd totally recommend a dine in experience so you can try the food once it's prepared. We both bought sandwiches to go for our family and those held up well considering it needed to be transported home. I recommend the ham and cheese croissant sandwich.

beautiful atmosphere. fun specialty drinks. lots of seating rules…read more the amount of specialty drinks was great - fun matchas and lattes (menus pictured in this review). the ube matcha tasted as if they used actual ube and not extract. you could taste more of the potato flavor and there was even potato pulp in the drink. my partner got the salted maple latte and he said the flavor was good - he could taste the salt. my issue was with the temperature of both drinks. my iced matcha was too warm and my partners hot latte was not warm enough. the ice in my matcha melted immediately and my drink was still warm. but it's nice to know the drinks aren't all ice like other places. seating has various rules - if it's the 2nd tuesday and there happens to be a full moon you cannot sit at this table... jokes but that's what it felt like.

We ordered at the pastry display and they brought our desserts to the counter where we also ordered a Lavender lemonade. It was so good. Starbucks Lavender has nothing on theirs. The ambiance was nice. Some camped on their laptops. Others running in for a quick bite. Beautiful dining area. Very comfortable, as well. The booth couches are a nice touch. We will most definitely be back!

I ordered the strawberry tart, lemon tart and pistachio Mille fille. I really appreciated the packaging and the takeout bag, which made it seem very high end. The pastries were all pretty good and were HUGE. The tarts are very similar and the pistachio Mille fille has a subtle taste. It was reasonably priced. My only complaint is the checkout process. It was slightly disorganized but I think it was mostly due to the amount of customers they had that day.

First off I don't want to diminish the popularity of Martha's Country Bakery and their growing…read morefollowers. I was there again today. My experience is STILL relatively the same. The tables are close enough and small enough to hear what your neighbors are saying to each other, imagine what they think of you? LOL I noticed speaker music was playing a bit louder then the last time I was there. The fact that patrons have to shout over each other while sharing speaker music doesn't help with the ambience of enjoying a delicious cake over an interesting conversation. I ordered something new this time, a delicious lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Why didn't I see that description on my check? Strange. I also visited their website online, and noticed a lot of Stock Ai made photos and videos. I even found the website hard to navigate as well because it wasn't loaded with actual cakes and up to date pricing. So quite honestly the online website wasn't helpful with what they had in the shop. * Perhaps a future improvement between tables might be an above head moveable divider which actually could provide some privacy. Something I guarantee would be way more inviting than the current seating arrangement. The Review Guru Long Island NY

There are Martha's Country Bakery stores all over NYC, but not all Martha's are created equal…read more This one in Bayside serves one of my favorite winter drinks, the White Hot Chocolate and it is not available at all Martha's locations. It is super sweet and even sweeter with whipped cream. It is unlike any hot chocolate I've ever had. Get it. For dessert, I like the Pineapple Shortcake, which is available at the Forest Hills Martha's, but not in Bayside. I thought I saw it once, but it turned out to be a Lemon Meringue cake. Instead, I'll go for a slice of Apple Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, Blue or Red Velvet cakes or the Oreo Mousse. If you would like to enjoy your cake and coffee in house, there is table service. There are plenty of 2 topper café tables, but if you have a bigger party, they will park a bunch of them together for you, if it's not too busy. If you get here before 8pm, tables are readily available, but it can get crowded as the evening progresses. We were surprised recently, when they sat 6 of us with no wait. They are open before the crack of dawn at 6am until 1am on Friday & Saturday nights. I imagine that the ovens never cool off and the bakers are there on the overnight shift to bake plenty of cakes ready for the next day. It's not unusual to still have a line to order out at 10-11pm and the display cases are still packed with cakes & pies.

I am very picky with coffee because I am a big coffee fanatic and always trying different coffee shops, but I absolutely fell in love here. The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, and has a beautiful antique style. It is a small space, but so cute and inviting. There is a few seats inside and some outdoor seating as well, which makes it really nice to enjoy your drink. The barista was so helpful and informative. Any questions I had, she answered, and it really added to the experience. I ordered the chestnut latte, an iced latte, and the purple yam cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chestnut latte was amazing. I didn't even realize it wasn't coffee at first, but it was made with freshly ground chestnuts and it tasted warm, cozy, and Christmasy. The iced latte was perfect, smooth, and not bitter at all. My coffee tasted sweet and flavorful even before adding any sweetener. The purple yam cookie was also incredible. Everything is baked in-house, which I really appreciate because you can taste the quality. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and I definitely feel like it is worth it. I cannot wait to go back and try the purple yam latte next. This is hands down one of the best coffee experiences I have ever had. I will definitely be coming here more often.

Very small inside, they have a kiosk to order from or you can order at the register and has two seats to sit right next to the door. Walked in and said hello, but did not receive acknowledgement from the staff. There were several working and it appeared they were busy with online orders (we were the only people in the store at the time). But definitely could improve when it comes to having customers feel welcome upon entering. Ordered off the kiosk; jasmine milk iced matcha and a mango mochi milk tea coming to just over $16 with tax. Got both with 50% sugar (recommended amount for the mango mochi tea). Had music playing while waiting. When the order was ready, one of the staff called the drinks out loud and provided straws to break into the lids with. The jasmine milk tea was refreshing and very floral, not my preferred taste as it was very very floral in flavor. Can definitely taste the matcha though. Mango mochi had chunks of mango in it and good amount of sweetness. I may come back to try their coconut iced matcha, but certainly not running back due to lack of staff attention and okay drinks.
