    Thank you google search for opening my life to Cool Beans coffee house. Walked in and was greeted cheerfully by the two guys behind the counter, they made me feel like we were old friends. What an adorable little spot, nicely decorated ample seats (in front, interior and on the back patio). They have a lovely menu, there are pastries you can drool at near the register and they offer bagels and sandwiches so there is surely something on the menu to tantalize your palette. I want to say thank you to the Java gods......yes, they sell lavender lattes (not the easiest latte to be found) but my favorite. Best part was it was prepared to perfection and the option to order a very large size drink gave this spot another thumbs up. I paired my latte with an apple danish, was asked "would you like it heated"? Why yes....I would. They told me they would bring me my order which came out pretty quickly. The apple danish was flaky, sweet but not too overly sweet and fresh.....it took everything in me to talk myself out of getting a second. The iced lavender latte went beautifully with the danish. A really nice place to spend a beautiful sunny Saturday just relaxing and kicking back. I was offered a glass of water to go along with my items. They bused the tables quickly when a customer left and really made my experience at this Queens gem a spot I will add to my rotation. Let's speak about the bathroom, can you say clean??? Decorated nicely, didn't stink and stocked with everything you need in a public restroom.....kudos for their attention to one of the most overlooked areas of some restaurants and a certifiable deal breaker for me. Great staff, so attentive, personable and friendly.....they are a huge asset to the success of an eatery (sorry I didn't catch them names otherwise I would have mentioned them in this review). Currently the hours are 8am to 4pm, 7 days a week so don't go by the website saying open till 6pm.

    One of my favorite things about Queens, is places like that. They make you feel like you're in a small town in the big city. Went here for the first time and the service is so good and welcoming and this matcha latte looked and tasted great. It would be a great place to catch up with friends or get some work done. It seems simple but I love when you can tell the people that work somewhere enjoy being there because it makes me enjoy being there more. 10/10 would recommend and would stop by again when I'm the area!

    Current menu but also, buy the croissants!

    What a great addition to the neighborhood! Cool Beans recently opened maybe about a month or two ago but I finally came around to their shop last week. CROISSANTS! We have a terrible shortage of delicious croissants in the neighborhood once Cote Soleil closed but thankfully we have Cool Beans. They source their pastries locally and I've already tried the plain, chocolate and almond croissants. Amazing! Just the right amount of butter and fluffiness that's needed. The almond croissants are not overly sweet like some other spots and although I'm more of a chocolate croissant fan, I can see myself converting. Customer service here is also stellar! I've been there twice and each time the staff has been super nice and are always talking to their customers. They also offer great suggestions and tips (hello Chobani oatmilk extra creamy). I haven't tried all of their holiday drinks but I'm a fan of the pumpkin spice latte. Unfortunately, I'm not too big of a fan of their La Colombe coffee but that's just my preference.

    I've been coming here ever since moving to the neighborhood. From the name, I thought it was a coffee shop, but this is an MVP all-around neighborhood joint - with sandwiches, coffee, baked goods, the works! Everything they have here is excellent. I've been moving through the menu slowly and have NEVER been disappointed. The food is always fresh and the hospitality makes me feel like I live in a little holiday Lifetime movie town, except it's genuine. This is that rare combination of food and warmth that makes you wonder why you're rushing around all of the time. Come for the n-the-moment-ness that the food, drinks, and staff provide. So far, I have had the cappuccino, a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, and a few breakfast sandwiches. One day I ordered the roast beef sandwich on a whim and took it home. As I ate it, I wondered what kind of sorcery was involved in this food experience I was having. It is the best roast beef sandwich I've ever tried. I'd rotate this picture but I'm not done eating.

    The decor is nice but this cafe is not my cup of tea. Kind of pricey and I do not get good vibes from the owner.

To Laiko represents the kinds of Greek-owned businesses that are disappearing by the minute in Astoria. It just so happens that this one sells Greek pastries and coffee. While the outside awning notes "The Little Coffee Shop", to my understanding "To Laiko" means "The people's" in Greek. I'm not sure how long they've been around, but they've been a fixture for as long as I've stepped foot in the borough (#1). This has certainly been a place that has been for the people (#2), which is always a great sign. They're among the only folks to my knowledge that sell authentic bougatsa, a breakfast phyllo rich specialty pastry that skews sweet and is enjoyed best with tea and/or coffee. They also have an excellent selection of spanakopita, which is Greece's most famous pastry containing feta and spinach. (#3) The kasseri cheese pie is also not to be missed, along with koulouri (sesame circular bread rolls), savory pastries, and the occasional loukamade (aka Greek donut). Prices aren't back breaking, but they've crept up over the years. While I think they accept credit card, it's always best to go with cash here to avoid any upcharges. Service from Angela is sweet and cordial and I prefer getting a drink with several pies on the go since seating is minimal. My hope is that this review helps others find them, since this is a place not to be missed. I'll certainly make this a pit stop during my next return back to Queens. __________ (#1) So, 20 years at least. (#2) Of mostly Greek patrons. (#3) Yes, spinach pie.

    I've had my eye on this place for years - should have come here sooner…read more Black sesame basque cheesecake: my favorite of the 4 I tried. This is actually cheesecake rather than the lighter Japanese version, with a strong black sesame flavor. Hojicha creme brulee: this came as part of a promotion, and the taste is strong. They do brulee the top on the spot and my sugar top got a little too burnt. Oolong tea cheesecake: still good, would get this again still. Lighter flavor but the floral flavor does come out at the end of a bite. Coconut milk jelly: the lightest of the flavor but still sweet and flavorful enough to come through. There's a dusting of graham crackers and strawberry jelly to complement. We also got a hot matcha jasmine latte but it was actually cold. It seems like it normally comes iced and perhaps they have no way of warming up the jasmine part. There's a points program and tons of promotions that rotate. There have also been different desserts that rotate so I'll have to keep coming back to try more. They have a lunch special too where you can get a drink or dessert for less cost.

    Idk what possessed me to order 2 cake slices. I had such a hard time finishing. I'm all caked out…read morefor the week. 3.5/5 Black sesame basque cheesecake $7- the 1st few bites are great, but the black sesame flavor gets too strong after that 3/5 Ice chiffon cake $7- decent however, I expected the cake itself to be softer & more moist, but it's a bit on the drier side, not sure if the milk powder dusting on top attributes to it 4/5 Vanilla matcha latte- $7.25- I've had their plain matcha before which is good quality matcha, somewhat bitter like it should be w/o tasting like dirt, you add sugar or flavored syrup, last time I didn't add anything which I regretted, since I do like a bit of sweetener, this time I added vanilla syrup which is barely sweet, wish I'd requested a bit more syrup 5/5 Service- employee is very friendly & informative, make sure to ask which desserts are gelatin free if you eat halal or kosher
