    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

    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!

The lady who I assume is the boss said she had held a pop-up shop about two years prior which blew up, hence what we see here. The selection here was deceptively small compared to chain bakeries, but it didn't take us long recognise how much power the smaller selection packs and, actually, how the selection really is not small at all. The matcha red bean loaf grabbed my attention straight away and didn't disappoint, but their red bean bun was just as impressive, as it's a more bread-y counterpart to the fluffy versions other bakeries typically have. The onioissant is definitely experimental and worked better on the chive bacon cream cheese one than on the pollack roe, which was a bit too much on the salty and fishy side for my liking. Their chocolate horn is at least twice as big as a typical one you'll find at other bakeries and has a rich dark chocolate filling which was a pleasant surprise. Their coffee brioche pastry was another hit, thanks to the strong coffee filling and delicate layers of pastry. There's ample tables and chairs, beverage menu, and I'm sure we'd come hang if we lived closer. I can't wait to go back.

    Some items were great, some items were okay. The drinks were also hit or miss-weirdly the special…read morethey had at the time, with the Sweet Potato series, was the highlight of the show. They were unique but light and really refreshing. For the actual baked goods, I really liked the mousse and french toast, but wasn't a big fan of the oni-croissant. We felt it was too much bread and not enough filling, but that is simply our preferences. The aesthetics was very fast causal and they have different seatings throughout the cafe. It was pretty full but we got a seat pretty quickly.

The inside is absolutely beautiful and while they have tables, they also have more traditional floor seating. We got a couple bites of food to eat, some of their tea, and some cocktails. Their food was very mediocre, at best. While the persimmon cake SEEMED to be made in house, it was very clear that everything off their food menu required minimal preparation (ie. for the dumplings, it was just har cow). I also thought their cocktails were okay, and out of the three we got, none stood out to me. I did enjoy their tea, however. But, it was also fairly expensive for what it was (~$50). Overall, I thought this spot was okay for the price and I'm not sure I would return.

We came with a fairly large group and ordered several teas and snacks to share amongst us. There were several options for the flavors of tea and each one had different benefits as well. I loved all of them, particularly the fruitier ones. As for snacks, we had this fried taro snack that had a crispy biscuit outer layer that was delicious. It was a bit of a sweet & savory mix, but not strong in either sweet or salty flavors. There was also this persimmon snack that was filled with nuts and other things. It was slightly sweet, very unique, and both paired well as a tea time snack. They're also open until 11:30pm! So if you want to skip the bar, I'd recommend checking out this tea spot for a nice hang out.
