I love this spot overall. This is the closest coffee shop to me in upper Astoria with great vibes and adorable decor. It's super Instagrammable, I love the seats situated within the heart and all of the flowers and greenery in this place. There are a few limited food options, but overall this is a cafe that also serves beer and wine (and the occasional frose, yay). Almost all of the times I've been in here (save for this last time) service is fast and friendly - but on my last visit the guy seemed like he was struggling to get orders out and keep the line moving. There were two folks ahead of me and the first one had multiple orders, so I figured there'd be a bit of a wait. Around 15 minutes later or so it was my turn to order, and I asked about the teas. The iced options were either sweetened with caffeine, or unsweetened without caffeine - I'd been hoping for something iced and unsweetened. When I asked about green tea he said he had none made, but didn't offer making it for me as an option. We awkwardly stood there for a few moments more as I waited to see if he might say this was something he could do. Eventually I cut my losses and said thanks anyway. read more

Loved the perfectly toasted Cubano sandwich. Crispy outside, melty and flavorful inside. Paired with a chilled San Pellegrino, it was the perfect light meal. The floral backdrop made the whole experience feel warm and Instagram-worthy! read more

Quaint and cozy! I spent a solid two hours here reading and enjoying a Matcha Latte, which was great! The decor is beautiful with a rich purple and teal theme. There is a back garden room plus outdoor seating for nice days. I observed a lot of regulars come through even though there was ample indoor seating. I also appreciated the staff being attentive to vacant tables and wiping them down after patrons left. They have sandwiches and pastries and they also started serving alcohol with their later hours. This is a great quiet place to hang out if you need to get some work done free from distractions. read more

Love this place! Their coffee is fantastic and the service is great! Super cute place to sit down and relax, or just take a treat to go!

Updating this review to reflect that I came back 3 years later and Café Renis has now become my favorite cafe in the neighborhood. They've expanded their menu and even serve byrek with spinach and another with cheese. They're filled generously and the phyllo is great quality. I've been coming here to study for exams and the vibes are great! Staff is very welcoming and you will be served with smiles. They sure know how to make a good iced caramel latte! read more

So good every time!! Love the ambience as well. The Chagachino with almond milk is my go-to !!

It's beautiful in this cafe! Tin plated ceilings and pastel pink walls and art on the back wall. It's really cute and great for photos! I love the adorable tea cups and saucers. The staff were welcoming as well. There's a seat with a metal heart which wall of roses which is lovely! I also noticed a sun room in the back with a window exposing more sunlight inside. I have yet to sit back there, but I imagine that it's nice to go here on a date or to get some reading done. read more

Tried this place a few times, it's really cute inside. Prices are okay.. I ordered a turkey & cheese sandwich (around $9 after tax) drink selections are very LIMITED I wasn't in a mood for a coffee and the drinks they have in their drink cooler was small (4 options of bottled drinks)... brought my own drink (non alcoholic) and was told by staff that it wasn't allowed... I've never visited any establishment that wasn't accommodating for PAYING customers... not sure I'll return after that. Especially over a drink when a purchase was made to support the cafe. read more

This place is over priced. 8 dollars for a chi late and then I tipped another 1.25 on top of that for a large. When did a large become a small. Why do I have to go ask for the password for the Internet like it is a secret code word. I'll stay home and make my own coffee late for 2 dollars. When will these owners learn you can't rip people off for a cup of coffee. read more

Found your next brunch spot and they are serving up some WILD SPECIALTY LATTES. They are more than just coffee though, They are serving up a full menu of brunch items, including brunch cocktails, and both sweet and savory dishes.

Great coffee and super friendly staff! Great atmosphere to read or get some work done.

Such a cute place with a lot of character! I'm surprised it's not packed with people 24/7. The atmosphere is quite instagrammable and has super comfy couches. The music was enjoyable and they have books to read on the coffee tables. I tried the ube latte which was a tad more bitter than I expected, but was tasty, unique, and definitely picturesque. I also tried some of my partner's cappuccino, which in comparison was smoother and lighter. read more

I came here for the famed 'gold' latte and ended up hanging out longer than planned. The place is cozy and inviting with plenty of seating on couches with pillows. Venture to the back which is set up like a mini garden. A greenery filled wall, white metal tables & chairs, and a little waterfall all make for a nice setup to enjoy coffee & conversations. I met the owner Mr. Renis, and he was really nice. He gave me a baklava as my bday treat while I stopped by for the latte. Seems like many regulars come here! The gold latte is $30. Strong cappuccino coffee and then a thin layer of 24k gold is added on top. (This is why it costs so much.) Use the gold spoon it comes with to mix in the gold and enjoy! I didn't really taste anything different, but the coffee was good. Overall with tax/tip it was close to $37. Yea it's pricey, but a unique experience. They sell other cool drinks (way cheaper) and desserts too. Free Wi-Fi & restroom too! They have some tables outside as well. Stop by this Astoria fav and meet Mr. Renis while you're there! read more

Ordered: Iced Purple Ube Latte (~$6) with Coconut Milk (+50¢) Aya's take: Such a cute cafe with colorful and floral decor throughout! The Iced Purple Ube Latte was unique, creamy, and had good mix of ube and coffee flavor. It's a bit expensive considering the size of the cup (and amount of ice) but somewhat understandable considering the quality of ingredients used. There are some tables/chairs, although not the most comfortable if you're planning to stay for a while to get work done. If you're here to catch up with a friend, read a book, or do something not requiring much effort, Cafe Renis is a good spot for that change of scenery while you enjoy a beverage or snack! read more

Cafe Renis - Iced Purple Ube Latte (~$6) with Coconut Milk (+50¢) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Astoria, New York

The cafe itself is so cute and pretty!! There's multiple seating to choose from & they provide wifi. I will be reviewing the beverages however; it's not for everyone. The I ordered a tea (something passionfruit) and it was a tad off, I couldn't really taste the passionfruit or pineapple. I tried this place once again with a friend; she ordered the ube latte w espresso and I ordered the matcha latte with oat. I personally couldn't down the ube latte; it didn't really taste like ube; like it was missing something for sure. Getting a good matcha latte is a hard find especially in cafes nowadays. This one was okay, not awful but it could definitely be better! Maybe adding in a few more scoops in before whisking the matcha and it'll be good! This place has potential & the baristas here are very accommodating. I will be trying it again to give it another shot. read more

I come here often for an espresso, which is perfect every time. I tried the apple crumble, which was absolutely delicious. I love a pastry that's packed with flavor and is not too sweet. It's something you can eat any time of the day. The service is also fantastic. Highly recommend if you're looking to sit outside and have a nice cup of coffee and a pastry. read more

Café Renis is an adorable little coffee shop that recently opened this past weekend. Their menu is simple; they sell crafted coffee drinks (hot and cold), sandwiches (tuna, ham & cheese) and a few baked goods items (croissants, macarons, cookies, and cake). The décor is very cute and makes the café really stand out from all the other shops on this block. There are comfy benches, lounge chairs and plenty of Instagram worthy spots inside. They have an outdoor seating area in the front of the café and there is also a small sunroom in the back. Staff is very friendly, and prices are on the higher end. I got an almond croissant ($4.00), yogurt parfait ($6.50) and a frappe ($5.00). The cold frappe was great and really hit the spot on this hot day. The almond croissant and yogurt parfait were both good. Overall, a nice little cafe, great for hanging out, a nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

A very cute spot in the neighborhood. I have walked past a few times but decided to drop in on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I ordered an ube late with oat milk and a turkey and avocado sandwich. After my order was taken I found a comfy spot on a couch and my food was brought to me quickly. The server was kind and I settled in with a good book. I will definitely be returning. It's a nice space to get some work done so I'll be bringing the laptop on my next visit. read more

A really nice cool chic coffee house in Astoria where you can enjoy an array of hot and cold (mostly hot beverages ) waffles with fruits , sandwiches , croissants, muffins, etc. Dig the outside seating , back garden area and the casual inside seating area comprised of a couch, lounge type chairs and regular table and chairs area. Many fancy type of coffee drinks listed but give me a cappuccino and waffles with fruits and I am good for now .Good strong bold Cappy , tasty waffles with maple syrup and I really can't ask for much more on a Sunday morning . Overall a really nice place to grab a coffee and treat in a casual relaxing atmosphere. 4 STARS on my yelp meter . read more

Big on the aesthetic here! Inside is all pink and full of plants and plush couches. There is a backyard garden themed area- though the chairs are wire and don't seem too comfortable. Was not too crowded or loud- I was there at 3 on a Saturday afternoon. Prices are about on par with other fancy latte places- I do like that they have a chagaccino option! I can't speak to the food but the Chaga was refreshing and a good amount of flavor:milk ratio. Came out quick! read more

walked in on a random weekday afternoon and there were plenty of seats to choose from! the inside is so beautifully decorated with a lot of "instagrammable" spots. there was definitely a lot of thought put into the layout of the cafe, the effort shows! my friend and i ordered an iced red velvet latte and a frappe, which came out to about $15. the drinks were okay - i feel the latte was really small for some reason but they both tasted fine. i think this is for sure a nice spot to hang out for a few hours (esp when it's empty) and just chat :) read more

Wow! What a cozy, nice place in Astoria. The Iced Coffee and Waffle ran me $13 and left me incredibly satisfied and full. Even better than the food is the atmosphere! The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the design is incredibly cute. They even have a very cute area with heart chairs and flowers; however, as I came alone, the awkwardness of sitting there by myself stopped me from sitting there. The back (pictured) is super cozy, and has outlets in case you need go plug in a phone or laptop. I will be coming back! read more

Cant believe this place has been open for six months already and I haven't been here until now! My friend and I loved the aesthetics, the customer service, and the unique selection of drinks available here. She came to Astoria all the way from Valley Stream and loved it here. There's a beautiful sunroom in the back with multiple outlets to use, a floral backdrop to take pictures with, and varied types of seating for different groups. We tried the purple UBE latte and iced caramel latte. Both were great! The UBE latte was not very sweet, but we were told about that before ordering and we just added some vanilla extract to make it sweeter. The caramel latte was perfect. It was the ideal amount of sweet and bitter. Cant wait to visit again!! read more

Cafe Renis - a cup of coffee and a book on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Astoria, New York

Cafe Renis is one of the most romantic coffee shops in Astoria with inexpensive coffee and pastries that I have visited. They only opened a few weeks ago and no doubt will be a favorite of many. I tucked myself away in a beautiful little alcove/sunroom at the back of this eaterie and sipped my cold brew, taking in all the greenery and artwork on the walls. Indeed, the owner has given the coffee shop a unique feel, kind of like being in the 1920s. There is a mini water fountain and decorative chairs and poofs at the back of the coffee shop, and cute wallpaper reflecting another era, perhaps the 1920s.. At the front, there are lounge seats There were no temperature or vaccine checks when I arrived, but there was outdoor seating. I paid approx $8.00 for an iced coffee and chocolate croissant They also serve sandwiches, crafted coffees, and healthy beverages. All in all a great success. read more
