    I usually conduct thorough research on coffee shops before visiting, but I was in desperate need of a pick-me-up and so happened to be having lunch next door, so I made my way to Dear Coffee. The interior is so cute, I love the minimalist design & it seemed like everyone else in the neighborhood does as well since this small shop was PACKED. I truly wasn't expecting much, since I find a trend in aesthetically pleasing coffee shops not having great coffee -- but boy was I wrong. I got a latte and I wish I lived nearby so I could consume this every day. It wasn't too sweet, the coffee was smooth and was perfectly strong. The star of the show are their syrups, which I could automatically tell they made homemade since my vanilla syrup had specks of actual vanilla bean throughout. I love me a great high quality coffee drink and this definitely was it.

    Superb coffee shop with excellent service. It is very popular though and seating is limited.

    Such a cool coffee spot to visit if you're on the upper east side. I dropped in because I wanted to try this latte I heard about that they had on their fall menu. I stopped in to find friendly employees and a quiet vibe of a coffee shop. People were using their laptops, people were conversing, it was definitely giving neighborhood coffee spot if you live in this area. I decided to go with the pecan pie latte and a mini pecan sticky bun. It did not disappoint me. The latte could have been a bit hotter but it was good. It had this sweet toffee nutty flavor with real pecans crushed into the drink so you were able to drink and chew with each sip. It was so good. It went well with the mini bun that was the perfect size for someone who doesn't always want an oversized bun treat.This was just what I needed. I would definitely recommend and visit again when I'm in the area. Two thumbs up and Happy Yelping!

    Pecan pie latte
    Ally R.

    The allure of the pecan pie latte at Dear Coffee drew me in. The description sounded appealing on this crisp autumn day and the latte did not disappoint. It was slightly sweet, but not cloyingly so and had subtle notes of pecan, but it was natural tasting, unlike the pecan latte I recently had at Starbucks. This latte was topped with little pecan pie bits. It definitely was on the pricey side, at $8+ but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to trying it again.

    cookie butter latte
    Nicole N.

    Stopped by Dear Coffee to grab some pick-me-ups! The cookie butter latte was really solid! Loved how they added biscoff cookie crumbs which was well suspended and dispersed in the drink. It is on the sweeter side, as expected, but wasn't too creamy as an latte. The cortado was also really good. The store itself is really cute - minimalistic with warm lighting and light pink accents. Not a lot of table seating but there is a bench area as well as a standing counter by the window. Looking forward to check out their other drinks next time!

    Glad there is a Dear Coffee in the UES. Great and convenient location. Amazing staff. Cute interior. Loved the matcha latte! A little pricey, just like all nyc cafes but worth the money!

    Oat Milk Cappuccino

    Finally some good coffee in the UES! A welcome, new addition with Japanese/asian influence and minimalist vibes. Love the décore and the vibe of this place but their coffee is legit too. Got a bag for myself to bring home and make my own coffee which was enjoyable. The cappuccino I got had beautiful latte art and felt like a cohesive textured drink, the milk blending well with the coffee. Probably ranks in my top 3 coffee in the neighborhood so far.

    Cute little spot by the 86th street subway. Clean and bright vibe inside with some tables and wifi. I ordered a cappuccino and my friend tried the cookie butter latte. Pretty small portions for the price, but everything tasted very good. Service was friendly and prompt.

    When I came here on their opening day I was excited to try a new coffee shop in the area. I did not have any if the pastries I saw. I had an iced latte and to me it was not that good. It was a bit bitter for me. I may go back to try another coffee drink though and see if it tastes different. This is a cute spot located on the corner of 84th and Lex. It is right near the subway stations and on the bus route line. So a very good location for foot traffic.

The restaurant felt homey and I could tell there were many regulars and other return visitors, for good reason! Ordered: Masala Chai ($4.50)- this tasted authentic, was nicely spiced, and wasn't too sweet. I only wish the cup was bigger. Steamed momo ($12+)- I like how you have the option to mix and match. We ordered the mixed vegetable and the oyster mushroom and surprisingly I much preferred the oyster mushroom variety. The mixed vegetable momo tasted more earthy to me. Himalayan rice set ($20.5)- this was a very nice assortment- there was rice, lentil dal, your protein of choice- (I chose beef brisket), stir fried cabbage, broccoli rabe, pickled vegetables and crisp flatbread. The only downside in my opinion was that the brisket wasn't too tender and I didn't love the beef flavoring or preparation. The rest of the items were so delicious!

It can be a little confusing to find since it's a stand inside the market, not a separate store front. They carry a pretty wide variety of Asian flavor-inspired breads, pastries, cakes and cookies, including buns and some more dessert-type items. I checked out Progreso for an event this past weekend and ended up buying a few items to go: - matcha marble sponge cake $4.49: was fluffy, light and moist, good flavor of matcha and a light schmear of whipped cream in the middle. Would get this again! - taro cream puff $6.50: this was taro paste (? not sure if that's fully accurate though it felt more consistency of soft whipped taro than a traditional pastry cream) with whipped cream on top sandwiched by what I believe was choux pastry with craquelin. I think maybe because the this was sitting chilled/refrigerated for a while the top craquelin layer wasn't quite crispy anymore, though it looked nice. Personally it was a bit too much regular whipped cream, would've preferred more of a taro pastry cream. - mango pudding with fresh mango $6.50 mango flavor in the pudding was light though it was a nice tease of flavor. The texture was on the firmer side for puddings. The mangos were a bit oxidized though tasted ok, maybe glaze them or do something to maintain the color? Since this is a pretty new spot hope they could make a few improvements and blow it out of the park! I appreciated the owners' enthusiasm for sharing about their shop.

It's definitely a cozy and popular café--mostly cozy because of the size. Seating is limited, but the interior design is clean, minimal, and uncluttered, which makes the space feel calm and welcoming despite the steady stream of customers coming in and out while we were there. Food-wise, everything impressed us. I ordered the pistachio croissant, while my companions got the gochujang hot chicken sandwich and the breakfast sandwich. The chicken sandwich was especially memorable--unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My pistachio croissant was also great; personally, I might have preferred a little less pistachio cream or a more textured filling like almond paste, but that's purely a preference. It was still excellent. The service really stood out. They were quick, friendly, and incredibly accommodating--one of my companions accidentally dropped their sandwich, and the staff replaced it free of charge without hesitation. That kind of kindness goes a long way. The price point is amazing for the quality of food you're getting, and we felt completely comfortable lingering for several hours. Throughout our stay, there was a consistent flow of customers, which says a lot. Highly recommend Little Flower if you're in Astoria and looking for great food, great value, and genuinely warm service.

Maybe it was because they were busy or something but I felt that their chai was very underwhelming. It tasted really watered down and sweet without any of the chai fragrance. Overall, while the vibe was great, I thought that their drinks were okay (or maybe I just had a miss).

Me and my girl was looking for a coffee shop that was laptop friendly and closed late since we came after work. I was a bit disappointed that they did not serve any alcoholic beverages as I saw a lot of good reviews on that portion. We came, we sat down on a Saturday night. There was only one person at the front and it seemed she was also managing the serving part so it did get pretty hectic at some point. We decided to order the Budae Jigae (Hot Pot), there is no way to alter the spicy level so for those who love spicy spicy, this is for you. Me and my friend was really disturbed by the fact that we were treated some type of way. Maybe it's because we weren't Korean or? Service was slow asf. It took a really long time for them to serve me my iced strawberry matcha drink. And even longer for the food. It was also hard to tag her down, and she seemed pretty annoyed that we had to ask her for multiple items. We were a party of 2 and she only gave us one set of items. I went again by myself the next day to see if it was better service and it was pretty packed. There was actually 3-4 people at the front but even then it was so hard to get someone to take my order, ask for napkins, for the check, etc. While there was no time limit on Saturday, there was a time limit of 1 hour and 30 minutes on Sunday. would I go again? Maybe, but it's def veering towards the no side.

Everyone was just so genuine and friendly to be around. Came here to the Astoria location during their 11th year anniversary promotion yesterday. First 100 customers in line would receive a limited-edition sippy glass tumbler with attached boba straw & removable lid cover with his/her in-store purchase. They accept both cash and debit/credit card. The line was effectively managed with no line cutters, no arguing, and nothing crazy going on. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience. Lots of people have still showed up despite the really cold weather & down-pouring. Nothing gonna stop me from getting the cute glassware. Store opened and promotion started at 12:05pm. Everyone just ordered one by one towards the front when it was his/her turn. The Vietnamese Cloud Coffee was $7.52 (after tax). Hot/iced + medium/large drinks have different set of prices btw. Staff then handed me the glassware & a free sampler bowl of their soon-to-launch either lemongrass chicken/pork rice bowl after accepting payment. Portion was definitely more on the generous side to say the least. Devoured the sampler bowl in 15 mins because I was hungry & aside from keeping the rain not getting into the food. Flavorful lemongrass chicken + appetizing pickled carrot + fresh, crunchy sliced cucumber laid on a blanket of fluffy white rice. All the ingredients went well together. This is something I would definitely buy for lunch/dinner if this item ever gets added to the menu in the future. I ordered a hot Vietnamese Cloud Coffee, a new drink on the menu. My first time actually ordering a hot drink from Tea & Milk. Usually go for the iced drinks but I was feeling quite cold. So, I needed something hot to hold in my hands. Vietnamese Cloud Coffee - Cà Phê Trứng (Egg Coffee) is made with egg yolks + Vietnamese coffee powder. Lastly, it's lightly sweetened with condensed milk to give off an all-around creamy texture and taste similar to tiramisu. Something created with such simple ingredients yet could feel so soothing at the same time. A hot coffee-based drink on a cold, rainy day is like a snuggly hug. Staff called out your name when it was ready for pickup. Love starting my day off with the strong flavor of Vietnamese coffee! By far, this might actually be the best tasting Vietnamese coffee I have had in all my years. And, I'm usually not a coffee person either. Didn't taste watered down and/or heavily sweetened at all. Everything's just right. Definitely would be going back next time for other coffee/fruit tea drinks.
