    Murray Hill Sandwich The Mango Tango Smoothie
    Chelsea A.

    It's my go to when I don't know what else to get. I personally never had an issue with packaging or anything compared to other reviews but they sometimes forget a straw for my smoothie lol. That said, my typical order is the Murray hill sandwich and the mango tango smoothie without the banana. It's absolutely delicious, crispy, and filling!

    I'm a regular at Create's Ditmars location but thanks to COVID-19, it's closed. I can't go a Saturday without one of my lattes from there so I strolled over to the 30th Ave location for my caffeine fix. It's smaller than Ditmars, but everything's the same, including some BOMB coffee. Given the pandemic situation, the staff was SUPER friendly. I'm really trying to help small businesses survive during this time. They were professional and ultra clean. Also, my latte was better than my Ditmars latte. Win!

    The coffee is strong, the ingredients are top notch & you leave feeling GOOD that you are eating healthy!!! Everytime I want something filling for breakfast, I pass by here for the Grand Ave breakfast sandwich - it's jam packed with avocado, turkey, egg (no extra for egg whites!) & some cheese! The French toast, acai bowls, salads,sandwiches soups, protein shakes, smoothies are all items I've tried and have always left satisfied! They have an item on the menu for everyone! Def give them a try!

    Veggie burger fail. The patty was a mushy mess that could hold shape.
    Jessica S.

    Salad bars are always my favorite. However, after exploring some of the vegetarian sandwich options on the menu I have to say it's a 3.5 star (rounded down because of the very sad veggie burger). The East Village is probably my go to when I come here because it's consistently done well. It's a cold sandwich with baby portobello mushrooms, veggies, cheese, a pesto sauce served on a multigrain hero. The bread is definitely the star and they do use quality ingredients. However, I'm glad they have a bottle of Cholula Hot Sauce at each table because it's a bland sandwich otherwise. Adding some sort of acidity would definitely help! The Veggie Burger is where they really drop the ball. Sometimes I want hot food that isn't pizza, the only veggie option here is the quinoa veggie burger. The second I picked it up I knew it was wrong. The patty crumpled apart half staying in the bun, the other half sat like mashed potatoes on my plate. The flavor of it wasn't bad, but again, it needs some sort of acidity. I almost feel like they're afraid to add pickled veggie (because yes pickled onions would be good on both). That being said the place is friendly. The salad bar is always stocked with fresh ingredients, and I like the hot sauce readily available.

    The Cinco de Mayo Wrap

    This review is for delivery only. Estimated about 45-55 min delivery window for lunch on a Friday, and arrived in about 40 min. Cinco de Mayo wrap with crispy chicken - B- (disappointing, the raw onion flavor overpowered the whole sandwich, and I normally don't mind onion!) Steinway Breakfast wrap + egg whites, Canadian bacon, regular bacon - A- Greek fries - B+ (nothing special, fries with feta cheese)

    Asian Chicken Salad!
    Ian K.

    Been to Create numerous times prior to this review. We have NEVER been disappointed. From their salads to sandwiches, everything is healthy and tasty! It's also a short walk from our gym! A great healthy spot post workout. What I got today: -Asian Chicken Salad The above was filled with fresh ingredients! The ginger dressing was even light! Highly recommend Create for a quick, but healthy meal during the week! The only process (ordering and all) takes less than 6 minutes! They have a very talent team and are quick to fill your troubled tummies!

    I love create ! The best thing is going to a salad place and not having to pay extra for avocado. I took my sister here because she loves salads and she also was a fan. The workers in this location are super nice and attend you very quickly and put love into their salad making . This is my Astoria salad spot

    See all

    Astoria

    Such a nice pub in the heart of Astoria! Felt transported to Ireland/UK inside - just look at that…read moreperfect Guinness. Friendly service and reasonable prices too! Came for the Thanksgiving Eggrolls and they were sooooo good. It sounds gimmicky but they were actually fantastic. It was fried perfectly and the individual components including the gravy were all high quality. Excited to come back and try their full menu!

    The third time is the charm. My previous two visits were mixed. The first time, before COVID, my…read moreburger was tasteless. 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!

    Long Island City

    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.
