    Super cute and cozy interior with some nice seating, and light music in the background. People were mainly chatting or doing work on their laptop. I got an iced americano and it's decent, but would love to return to try their food items as everything looks delicious. Appreciate that they have a stocked side bar with condiments, sugar and cream.

    Its one of the best coffee shop in Sunnyside! Love the ambiance and service. Their bagel is good too!

    It's been a while since I came here and I was very surprised that I never wrote a review about this place. This is a very nice place to grab a quick breakfast or coffee/snack. It's very cozy, welcoming, and clean. There are quite a few artwork that you don't feel like you are in the city until you step outside. You aren't rushed and can enjoy at your own pace. I came in to get a light lunch. I was hungrier than I thought. Since I wasn't ready to order, I asked the employee to come back to me. There were so many options so I finally decided on the Mirage: Chicken with tomato, cheddar cheese and mayo. I decided to eat in. The employee brought my order to me. I was hungrier than I thought. Good thing I had a nice stroll afterwards. The salad was fresh and crisp with a nice crunch. The sandwich was so tasty that you can't have one bite especially when it was warm. There's was a restroom though I didn't check it out. If you never been, go check them out.

    Really great coffee and breakfast/ lunch spot in Sunnyside. I got a macchiato which was strong and my friend got a lavender oat milk latte that she enjoyed. The atmosphere is very chill and they have a heated outdoor area which was great even in the cold. The barista was nice and efficient.

    This is a decent place to get a bagel and coffee. I can't say much more about it except as I recall they had some vegan or vegetarian options. Friendly vibe, nice decor inside.

    A popular neighborhood spot for breakfast/lunch. We stopped by with the intention of just checking out the menu but ended up ordering a bagel and a drink. Black pearl bagel was a bit on the pricier side but fully loaded with goodies - bagel topped with cream cheese, sliced cucumber, lox and caviar. Chagaccino (mushroom latte) was smooth with a bit of a spice, similar to a chai latte. It's supposedly a good coffee alternative. I've also picked up an order from Too Good To Go - caught some pretty solid bagels.

    Terrific cappuccino! Quite a few tables had platters of food that looked absolutely delicious! What caught my eye was the size of the bagels H U G E!

    Amazing service by the staff, great atmosphere inside the cafe & all the food came out spectacular.

    Pesto bagel
    Jenipher L.

    Really really delicious food! I loved the pesto cream cheese bagel, my husband loved the lox bagel, and my six-year-old ate the entire tropical waffle! The owner is really nice too, as is the rest of the staff!

    Pain au Chocolate Croissant
    Melanie M.

    Pop in for a quick bite or stay for a while. This quaint cafe is serving up a well-rounded breakfast/brunch menu. The pain au chocolate was flaky, buttery, and airy. I wish it were heated up, but I didn't ask. The coffee was smooth, nutty, and flavorful and paired perfectly with the croissant. I'll be back for sure!

    I love this little cafe. I arrived early for taste of Sunnyside and my friend had been here a number of times before so we popped in for some coffee. I ended up getting an iced hazelnut latte and it was really delicious. Both strong and sweet and a delightful nutty flavor. My friend got the macchiato. All of their food sounds delicious. I only sampled their baklava because I knew I'd be eating a ton later but it was one of the best I've legitimately ever had. Their signature bagels sound soooo good. A pesto bagel sandwich? Sign me up. I saw some other people at tables with huge, fresh salads and sandwiches and it all looked great. I love the vibe here as well. They have local art work for sale on the walls and stunning colorful glass lamps hanging from the ceiling.

    Burnt milk

    I wouldn't come here for coffee, but definitely to relax. The cup was filled to the brim with steaming hot coffee. It's supposed to be a cappuccino. The cup was served to me wet and I burned my fingers when I tried to take the lid off lol. First time here but I probably won't be back. Management, please teach your employees how to make and serve hot drinks. The milk in the photo is clearly so burnt it looks like plastic! Ambiance is nice I like the availability of outlets.

    Salmon Lox Sandwich
    Nafiza T.

    guys the food was IMMACULATE, the environment was such VIBES and the owners were so nice. You order and pick up the food at the counter and you can sit anywhere, it is a small restaurant so there's only a few tables but it is really nicely decorated and organized so nothing feels too crowded. the lox sandwich was so fresh and delicious that every bite made me want more. The egg was really well made but didn't have salt which I had to ask for. Not pictured: my Nutella caramel latte which was heavenly and I would come back for every time

    Do they have outdoor dining?

    Hi, Christina! Yes, we have plenty! Hope to see you soon)

    Are there any great Indian spots left in the area? My favorite went out of business a year ago.

    This is not Indian establishment. This is more of a cafe (pastries, breakfast/brunch, teas/coffee).

    Wanted to write this review based on the wheelchair accessibility and laptop areas…read more There are coffee shops in the neighborhood with laptop rules that say you have to sit at the high tables. Obviously as a wheelchair user, I cannot sit at the high tables, and when I have asked the staff for understanding, other places have denied me. Ines let me use my laptop at a wheelchair accessible table without any fuss. Mark was very gracious. When I asked, he said, "we will make an exception." I felt heard without advocating for common sense and I greatly appreciate the humility. Thank you!

    The place is cute and small. They have good happy hour prices on wine. The food we tried wasn't…read moreso great. My friend had been here before and raved about the escargot and meatballs. The escargot was covered with pesto that tasted like the basil wasn't fresh. Also, I'm sure there was plenty of garlic because the restaurant smelled like it, but I would have liked more garlic in this dish. The meatballs were mostly bread (there may have been some meat). After we complained, the item was removed from our bill by our friendly, polite, and conscientious server. Note: This is a French restaurant, but they didn't have any butter for the bread.

They have a table to pickup preorders so you don't have to wait in the main line. I ordered a dozen for $39. You can select your assortment. Here's my review in order from the best to the least desirable, according to our group. Vanilla custard- the filling was thick and speckled with vanilla beans. It wasn't too sweet. This was the best according to our group. Strawberry filled- this is most traditional and Breads Bakery does a nice job. The jam is homemade. Pistachio- this doughnut was filled with smooth pistachio cream and was topped with a few pieces of pistachio. Not traditional, but they did a good job. Chocolate- the filling tasted like a semisweet or bittersweet cream/custard. Like the others, it was smooth. The vanilla was more popular among our group and I personally didn't love this doughnut. Mango- this was the one that those in my group felt missed the mark. It wasn't cloyingly sweet, so that was good, but the filling didn't do anything for us either. If you're looking for a mango dessert the one at Lysée is a real winner.

I had their Peach Iced Tea but the Rose Matcha is also a favorite & although I don't drink coffee it seems that the French Kiss Latte is ordered a lot so grab one and leave your own review! Lol . The Banana muffin was really tasty too. I split it with a girl I met in the store and she said it paired really well with their iced coffee so that's a plus. It can get a little busy in there in the morning & at lunch since there's a hospital nearby (and they give them a discount which is really ni but they're quick so service isn't a problem.

Unfortunately, it was totally bland and not large at all. The side sauce added nothing and over 30$ with tax/tip. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta and the guazzetto di Pesci. The pasta was good. Reasonable amount of pasta but we would have liked some more chunks of lobster for the price. I thought the sauce was only ok but my girlfriend liked it. The guazzetto di Pesci was only fair. The sauce was lacking flavor. Also a very small bowl of broth with maybe 3 small shrimp and muscles, a few small chunks of fish. and two sad, tiny pieces of bread on the side. Since we were still quite hungry after the meal, we ordered the lotus chocolate caramel dessert. This was the only dish we really liked. kinda hard to mess up gelato though. It came with a hard outer candy shell and a very small cookie center that was sweet and delicious. Overall, an average meal at best that we both felt was lacking in taste and size. Won't return.
