    Better than the one on 30th ave, this location has many more options and much more seating. You can order more than just salads so I ordered a burger with a smoothie. The one thing that stands out is that they appear to have more dedicated staff with specific functions and tasks. All in all a much better spot in Astoria

    The juice bar at create is amazing, I'm there almost every morning. I love the salmon bowls but everytime I go, the pieces get smaller and smaller which I wouldn't be as upset about if they charged by weight. $18 is already pretty steep for a buffet and because pieces aren't standard and they scoop it, it's a wildcard for how much food you're going to get. Charge by weight or standardize the portions.

    Last time I left a less than desirable review because of the poor service from the female employees at the smoothie and juice counter. Since coming here last few times it seems the staff have been upscaled which is great to see. My go-to's are: Salads: harvest salad, tex mex (i ask for crispy chicken heated up for topping) Sandwich/ Wrap: LIC wrap Other: banana berry acai bowl

    tex mex salad: great

    Great lunch spot. Came here on a weekday and the place was busy but not too packed. I got the Tex Mex Salad which was great. Nice bit of crunch from the tortilla strips and the flavor was great. Definitely worth the visit!

    The place looks like it would be great. When you go to the counter they staff was helpful but somewhat annoyed we asked how it worked it being our first time. The food looks very appealing, however it tasted extremely flavorless. Got a salad with half ranch half raspberry vinaigrette. Tasted like nothing. Added salt to enhance, still bland. Gave 2 stars ambience

    Create is always go to spot when I'm trying to clean up my diet. They open early so you can grab a variety of things for breakfast. They have a juice bar with açaí bowels, fresh breakfast sandwiches and wraps, or even platters. It's always delicious and always really fresh and made with great ingredients. I went with the açaí bowl this go around and it never disappoints. It's packed with fruits and whatever toppings you are looking for. For the price I think you can't beat it. I wish I was around here more often, I love their salad bar, it's the best in the area. They also have great protein shakes and coffee!!

    Great spot to grab a healthy meal. Doesn't matter if it's breakfast lunch dinner or dessert. Generous portions and great service.

    The Mexican Quinoa Bowl

    Tip: Try to order in person or place an order over the phone because they're prices are $3-4 cheaper in stores. I had no idea until I walked in and saw salads and bowls were only $10 (more for certain meats). I think this is the perfect healthy establishment that the neighborhood needed. I love their summer caprese salad. You can sub items and pick from dressings. I'm obsessed with their lentil bowl which is essentially rice, lentil soup, and a scoop of onions. Ask for a lemon wedge! They also have a delicious PBS sandwich (peanut butter, strawberry, and agave). You can get acai bowls and smoothies. Their market plates are great but the chicken and salmon are always overcooked. But their mac and cheese is delicious! The best part is you can see your food being made and know exactly where everything is coming from. If you have any allergies let them know because sometimes they use the same bowl to toss salads. You order first with one of the guys and then go to the cash register to pay once he's done making your food. They have plenty of seating if you want to eat indoors!

    Really happy to live so close to this location now! Great place to go if you're in the mood for something healthy. The breakfast bowls and their salads are definitely my favorite. Central Park Salad and it's immense amount of goat cheese is always a win in my book! They are doing delivery as well during quarantine so that's a plus.

    I didn't read the reviews before I came in but I'm kind of wishing I did. I read them after I ate and my stomach turned with some of the violations they had. Mostly I was disappointed to see so much meat on the grill when the word VEGAN was on the window. I thought it was a vegetarian/vegan restaurant when I passed and saw the signs, so it makes me antsy to see that there may be cross contamination with meat in my vegan dishes. I ordered the vegan bowl and I was bummed to see it was $9.99 until I opened the bowl and saw the massive portion. Copious amounts of quinoa, hefty portion of spinach, and a great helping of hummus, avocado and garbanzo beans. I could only eat 1/4 of it before having to leave for the airport and left it for my dad to eat. Ingredients all seemed fresh and they were good. I didn't get sick after like other reviewers so perhaps they stepped up their game a bit. Loved the bright open dining space and the multiple stations (juice/smoothie bar, salad, grill, etc.). Glad to see there is a healthy alternative option in the neighborhood and hope that they continue to improve and succeed.

    Manhattan has Sweetgreen, Astoria has Create. I'm a fan. For all your #basic bowl needs, this is your place. In fact, I think I like it even more than Sweetgreen. They have a different selection with fixin's like PLANTAINS! Also, my custom bowl was only $11. In the city it usually costs me ~$16, but that's because I have no self control. The staff is extremely friendly and it wasn't crazy busy (granted, I was here on a Sunday but still). I'm beyond excited that Create is blocks from me. It's perfect for those I-want-to-be-healthy-but-I'm-too-lazy-to-cook days.

    My husband chose The Queensboro to celebrate his birthday with a brunch alongside my grandparents,…read moreand it felt like a great chance to revisit a spot we'd previously enjoyed for lunch and dinner. Food: 3.5/5 We made it a point to try a range of brunch options. My grandfather ordered the sweet potato and chorizo hash, I went with the two-egg combo with pork sausage (eggs over easy), and my husband chose the Moroccan eggs. Overall, the food was good and flavorful, especially if you enjoy dishes with a bit more nuance and influence from Spanish or Mexican flavors. That said, as someone who leans more toward classic American diner-style brunch, it didn't fully hit that nostalgic spot for me. It's not that anything was bad--it just wasn't the most memorable brunch I've had. Still, it was nice to explore a different side of their menu beyond the burgers, fries, and pasta we'd tried before. Service: 4/5 The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. However, they do rely on a QR code-style menu, which can be a bit of a learning curve--especially for those who prefer a more traditional ordering experience. During the brunch rush, things definitely got busy and a bit overwhelmed, so service slowed down slightly. One tip: if you already know what you want, it's best to order everything upfront to avoid delays. Vibe: 3.5/5 Like many New York spots, space is tight. Even as a party of four, we were seated at a small square table, which could be challenging if you have strollers or extra belongings. That said, the space still feels cozy and neighborhood-friendly--great for a casual brunch, just not the most spacious. All in all, It's a solid neighborhood brunch spot with interesting, flavor-forward dishes and kind service. I wouldn't call it my top brunch destination, but I'd come back if I were in the area--especially if I was craving something a little different from the usual diner fare.

    This is one of those places that u may not notice since there is so much around the area, one day…read morewe decided to give it a try. They offer a different special for any day of the week, first time around on a Thursday Margaritas special , Tamarind & Mango nice big glass great margaritas, good tasty & nice & strong They start u off with some cake pieces, has a banana bread taste very good. Apps , we tried the Tostones con Birria very good great tasting meat & Chorizo Mac & cheese , also very good. Main dishes , Al pastor tacos & Chicken Burrito were both very good. Next time we stopped by for brunch, we got the bottomless option tried the Sangrita white, good sangrita price wise makes sense assuming u drinking more than 3-4 glasses a person. On the food Carnitas Benedict & short rib hash were both very tasty. For dessert gave the Tres Leches a try not bad, just the right amount of sweet. Another brunch visit & we tried Paloma spritz, good & Mexican coffee, pretty strong in taste. Chicken & waffles topped with bacon, very good chicken good combo dish. & the Lady's enchiladas great taste the enchiladas w the green sauce & cheese on top. Good size restaurant, small bar area towards the back, simple but colorful decor. Service overall has been good, they are attentive. Reasonable prices & u get a decent amount of food. This place has been around for some time, happy we discovered it recently overall good vibe, food & drinks, we will continues to visit from time to time.
