Smooth and delish cappuccino with cinnamon!
Cynthia P.

Went back to Grey Cafe to get my cappuccino! It was so good and smooth. Very friendly staff and barista. Great variety of drinks and snacks. Nice ambiance, very crowded, lots of people studying hard. Festive decor inside and out!

What jumped out at me the moment I stepped into GREY Cafe, is the diversity of people I saw sitting quietly on their laptops as well as the ones waiting in line to place orders. The scene told me this was a safe space to be, get some work done, and the food/drinks must have been good enough to attract people of different backgrounds. With that out of the way, here's my actual review. I got a matcha latte with coconut milk and a brownie. I loved the variety of non-dairy options they had for milks (as well as snacks)! They used health conscious brands so I could see that some real thought was put into the offerings. The matcha tasted like real matcha and had no clumps! The temperature was just right, hot but not scalding where you'd have to wait a while before drinking. They have raw brown sugar packets if you want to sweeten the drinks yourself. The brownie was soft, chocolatey, and not overly sweet. They offer to warm it up if you like. They have a restroom towards the back. The staff were all friendly and also diverse! 9.5/10 all around experience. This was a very pleasant surprise and I will definitely come back to try more things!

Brown Sugar Freddo with Oat Milk and matcha macaroon
Jean R.

I can't believe I've never given this place a review. My job literally orders from here at least once a week. They got the best espresso and matcha drinks. My favorite is the Brown Sugar Oat Freddo. I love when I can taste the roastiness of the beans. I've also had their homemade puddings (all the flavors are delicious) and the macaroons. Today prompted my review. I was off work and got to hangout in the space with some friends. Gorgeous day out. I like their seating inside and out! The espresso machine is also super cute with words of positivity on post it's. Lifted my day!

First thing I noticed, and you can tell my age by this comment, is though they had music on, it was not any kind of loud rap or heavy bass music and it was so refreshing. Five stars for just this alone haha! The Cafe was packed at 9pm on a Saturday night. The woman behind the counter were friendly and helpful and the man who made my drinks was quick and efficient.. I liked that they did not have an extensive menu which makes things easier when deciding, and it's great that they also had sandwiches along side muffins, cake slices etc. A large iced mocha frappe, chicken salad sandwich, large hot cappuccino and a double chocolate chip muffin cost ~ $30, which is in line with prices in the area. They are opened into 11p, a little later than most cafes which close around 10p. Good experience overall.

Place has multiple room to chill and enjoy you drinks. There is a section that is only for 4+ ppl, there is the common area with lots of seating, there are couple of tables for two outside the coffee shop, and there is a booth for large outdoor seating with a blowing fan so that people dont die of the heat The coffee was alright but worth it since i came here to chill and enjoy the free wifi, there is free wifi btw! Definitely coming here in the future to chill and enjoy more the ambiance and the free wifi : )

Matcha Pudding (2025)
Phen O.

Rating : 3.5 I don't remember how I found this Grey cafe but I went there the first time in 2022. This place is not like the cafe that I imagined it would be. It seems more like a cafe for youngsters to hang out and study. There are many tables and seats inside and it's always full of people. It makes me feel like I'm in a cafe inside a college/campus lol. I only go for their puddings and some pastries. My favorite is Tiramisu puddings and almond croissants. They are so good. Matcha puddings are a hit or miss. Sometimes they are good and other times they're too sweet. Staff are attentive and polite. I like it when they offer a promotion for gift cards. I don't know if they always offer that but if they do, make sure you get it because it's a good deal. Note: I went there recently and noticed that the pudding portion got smaller and the price of pastries got higher.

Keepin it real out here in Flushing / Auburndale Been going to this spot since they were Browny. The vibe and the layout changed a lot but it's still a good reliable spot to get work done. The wifi were pretty bad at one point and looks like they've fixed it since then. The drinks are pretty decent with new drink options constantly. 2 bathrooms, good wifi, ok amount of outlets, music option is interesting at times, but overall solid solid cafe

Cafe vibes

TLDR: THE cutest cafe I've ever been to in the heart of Queens! 13/10 for cafe vibes and service! If you are looking for a spot to be productive and socialize, this is the perfect place... The snacks are a bit pricey (PB&J is $5) but the ambiance makes up for it! Before you even walk in, you can tell from the exterior that it's a popular spot. There are so many cute outdoor covered spaces for you to be productive or chill with your friends. On the inside, there are sooo many coworking spaces! There's even a section upstairs for groups of 4 or more - this space includes a couch and a ton of other unique nooks :) I love the separation because it helps to control the noise level. If you want a quiet space, bring headphones. There were so many college students but that's what I loved because I felt like it was a safe space to be productive! There are so many sweet and practical snacks and bites like a PB&J, chocolate chip muffin, and mango smoothie! A must-visit spot in the heart of Queens that you can't miss out on!

Macarons $18
Sita P.

Super cute and cozy cafe, lots of seating. Quick service. Limited food menu. I tried the signature grey foam latte which is an iced latte topped with black sesame foam, it was very good. Foam was sweet and tasty. Macarons are 6 for $18, we got a variety, all were good. My favorites were the hazelnut & lavender. Pasty menu is very limited, wish the had more options. Overall a great spot for coffee, I would recommend for a coffee date!

Downtown Flushing, Flushing

Quality of food is on the A game.

It can get crowded here at times, but seating can be found Staff also very professional Overall, great spot churning out great food

Jo Ju inside Tangram is exactly why Flushing's food scene stays undefeated. You walk in and…read moreimmediately get that street market vibe -- buzzing energy, different vendors calling your attention, and the feeling that you're about to eat something really good. It's organized chaos in the best way possible. Let's talk about the star: the bánh mì. Absolutely top-tier. The bread alone deserves its own spotlight -- soft, fresh, and perfectly balanced with just the right bite. I actually spoke with the owner, and she makes it herself daily, which explains everything. That level of care shows in every single sandwich. The menu has something for everyone -- pork, chicken, beef, vegetarian -- and each option feels thoughtfully put together, not just thrown on a menu to fill space. Everything tastes intentional. I also grabbed a lemonade, which was super refreshing and honestly the perfect pairing with the sandwich. Simple, done right. Now listen -- you have to get the kimchi fries. No photo because... they didn't stand a chance. Gone in minutes. Crispy, flavorful, addictive. Don't skip them. A few real notes: * There will probably be a line -- it moves, but be ready * The good part? You're in Tangram, so you can explore other stalls while you wait * Come hungry, leave happy What really stood out to me, beyond the food, was the heart behind the place. Supporting a woman-owned business where the owner is that hands-on and passionate just makes the experience hit differently. Located in Tangram, surrounded by some of the best eats in Flushing -- it's a whole vibe. Jo Ju delivers that perfect mix of street-style comfort and elevated execution. Great food, great energy, and a spot I'll keep coming back to.

I ordered a premium beef with sweet potato topping and a hibiscus refresher to wash it down. Service was quick, as no other customers were present and it hadn't even reached noon. The corndog and hibiscus refresher were served promptly within 5 mins. The premium beef tasted like a regular hot dog to me. It just didn't taste like it was 100% beef and had more of an Oscar Meyer beef/chicken/pork mixture taste. Moreover the corndog topping was pretty disappointing as the sweet potato topping was soft and not crisp while the corndog topping below was a little mushy and the hot dog itself had no snap of a solid casing. Their menu advertised that the up charge for sweet potato topping was $1.50 (in actuality, it was $1.90) plus they would discount $1 when purchasing a refresher in addition to a corndog; there was no discount applied to my order. On top of that, I had asked for no ice in the hibiscus refresher (as it was 49° outside today and nice and cool inside the food court). The lady behind the counter filled up the cup about 3/4 of the way stating that they usually put ice in so it wouldn't be strong. I said that it was okay and that I liked it strong. Despite that, she didn't offer to fill it up all the way. Customer service was lacking.
