Serena X.

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!

Menu

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.

Tuna bagel
Maryellen S.

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.

Chris D.

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

Black Pearl
Jessica M.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Ingrid S.

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.

Nisha P.

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!

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).

Went here on a Saturday for a friend's birthday brunch, and it was such a great experience. When we…read morearrived, the hostess guided us to one of their private rooms downstairs, which was spacious enough to comfortably fit around 20-25 people--perfect for a group celebration. We had our own dedicated server, which made everything feel really seamless. They kept our drinks flowing the entire time, and it was a huge plus not having to flag anyone down. For food, I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The coleslaw on it added great flavor (honestly, I just wish there was a bit more of it). It came with fries that were perfectly crispy--exactly how fries should be. Overall, I had a really enjoyable time. If I'm ever back in the neighborhood or if anyone asks me for a good brunch spot for groups, I'd definitely recommend this place.

It was a perfect day for a weekday brunch outdoors, and though the sun was beaming on our faces…read moreuntil we couldn't open our eyes, the weather was a breath of fresh air. My partner started off with a bloody mary which he thoroughly enjoyed (and considered opting for a bottomless brunch option until i reminded him that he drove here). I got the lemon ricotta pancakes which was pleasantly sweet, without the drizzle being too overpowering. The fresh fruits complimented the fluffy stacks of pancakes and was perfect for a light meal. My partner on the other hand, was famished and ordered the steak and eggs which he happily devoured. Service was great, our server was very attentive and never had us wait. I would highly recommend coming here for brunch!

She was the only server there and did a fantastic job. We got the Buffalo mac and cheese balls as a starter and they were so good! kid friendly but had a tiny kick to it. I got the crispy chicken and gravy with the mac and cheese and mexican street corn and there is literally not a single complaint. My mom also got the crispy chicken and mac and cheese but she got the tater tots and they had a nice flavor and were crispy but not burnt (EXACTLY how she ordered them). My sister got the bedrock pancakes and while they looked way too sweet for me she LOVED them. We also got the Nutella Ella Ella Aye milkshake and it looked so good and tasted even better. This will definitely be a place that I will be going back to on my next trip.

I thought it would have been a slight drizzle--not drenched like gravy and biscuits. Was disappointing. Not to mention it was very expensive. Not returning. They weren't very friendly either. So n can't really say it was remotely worth it.

The second time, we had to deal with stupid bouncers or security guards before being let into their bar/pub. That's a huge turnoff for me, and it's only worth it for strip clubs and concerts. Sweet Afton is a hip Irish-style pub known for its craft cocktails, extensive beer selection, and upscale pub fare. It has a cozy interior with exposed brick and a sought-after outdoor garden area that is enclosed in the winter.  A few of their menu items include "Astoria's best burger" (using Pat LaFrieda beef), the Dirty Pickle Martini (featuring McClure's pickle juice), and beer-battered fried pickles. I learned that they have a sister pub called the Bonnie in Ditmars, which I have been to and had a great time. Last Saturday I came back for a third time. I was surprised at how things had changed; much more laid-back, with good customer service, good vibes, and one of the most delicious bar burgers I have ever eaten, with a side salad, in any pub or establishment in Queens. Furthermore, Sweet Afron had some nice alternatives to bear and larger, and I selected a cider instead. First, I was offered a sip, and then, upon my approval, a full glass of cider. In conclusion, I do plan to return!

Unfortunately, as someone who has food allergies (to not just shellfish), it's concerning that it's incorrectly listed, and makes me think they don't understand food allergies, cross contamination and dietary restrictions. It's honestly fine if they want to have a menu that is not vegetarian friendly, but food items should be labeled properly. We had to go somewhere else.

We stopped here for breakfast while staying in Long Island City and I had a rather lackluster…read moreexperience. It's a small cafe with limited seating. They have a giant menu posted on the wall to peruse. When we approached the counter to order, the person manning the register basically ignored us. When she finally acknowledged us to place our order, the interaction was taciturn and curt - no niceties. I ordered the single order pan-fried pancake ($8, but closer to $11 after tax). The menu states a choice between beef, pork, and chicken, but we were only given the choice between beef and chicken. The cashier also gave us a choice between spicy potato or pork floss (I opted for the pork floss), which was not denoted in the menu description. The menu does say it comes with veg, but what they really mean is lettuce/salad. The menu picture online is also misleading because it says it comes with an egg, and displays both a soft-boiled egg and beautiful runny egg cascading over the pancake. Instead, the only egg that was served was one overcooked fried egg (not runny at all!), and it was cold (but more on that later). The quoted wait time for the food was 20 minutes. There's a little station near the counter to grab napkins, silverware, and water. Around 9:30am on a Friday, several tables were filled, but no one had any food (the cafe opened at 9am, so I suppose the kitchen was still ramping up). My friends and I ordered variations of the same dish (the pan-fried pancake), but the dishes were served in reverse order - the person who ordered last got their dish first and vice versa. When one order is more complex than another, it's understandable when the easier/quicker one is served first. Since we all ordered nearly the same dish, this was not the case. The way things were being expedited was not efficient. When they finally called my name, I was excited to dig in, but the dish was cold! The beef was cold, the pancake was cold, the egg was cold and overcooked... I had half a mind to send it back. I'm guessing my order was ready earlier, but it must've sat there because someone forgot about it. Now technically, there are cold elements in the dish, if you count the lettuce and dressing, but there's no reason why the pancake, egg, and beef were all cold... they weren't warm, they didn't retain any heat, they were cold. They were also skimpy on the beef. The only redeeming qualities of the dish were that, fortunately, the pancake was still crispy, albeit cold and greasy, and the pork floss is a delicacy that gave the pancake a little extra oomph of flavor and texture. My friend ordered the Wake Up Combo ($14), which is the pan-fried pancake served with a soy milk and tea egg. Similar to my own egg experience, the tea egg was disappointingly overcooked (think hard-boiled) and not jammy like the picture at all. We all have bad days, so maybe Morning Brunch & Cafe was having one... but this is a skip for me.

Convenient location right near the Queens station in Long Island City (LIC). Taiwanese influenced…read morebreakfast, so I was pretty excited. The prices were bad here but the service and the food weren't great. When we arrived, we were scoping out the menu, they had it posted in a lot of places but it was kind of confusing. I did like how you could scan a QR code and when you clicked on an item, it was more descriptive of the add-on options or potential meat options. There are approximately 10-13 seats, so not great for a massive party, but good for a small outing or for take out. I saw a decent amount of delivery people come in to do pick ups. My friends and I were ordering and were curtly treated by one of the employees. I ordered the fried vegetable pancake with them since you couldn't order the QR code on the tables. She told me the options of only beef and chicken. I thought pork would've been an option and then she mumbled about the options for the additional topping. I couldn't understand her when she said pork floss, so I ordered spicy potatoes. The food also came out kind of sad and was slow to come out. The order was all wrong as I ordered last and then was delivered my dish first. It was kind of sad because I didn't even realize you should be able to pick up the pancake. It was hard to eat because it kept crumbling apart due to the pan fried falky pancake was a thin layer what just felt like crust. I was imagining more like a scallion pancake with vegetables infused or stuffed in. It also came out cold, and could have used a bit more flavor like a sauce or soy sauce. The spicy potatoe tasted a little undercooked as well. My friend ordered hers with pork floss instead and that tasted a little better. The dish also came with a supposed to be overeasy egg that is supposed to be runny, but was a bit overcooked.
