This very cute and tiny corner café recently opened this week on this quiet stretch of Astoria Blvd. They serve hot & cold beverages, bubble waffles, ice cream (soft serve and ice cream rolls) and other baked goods. The café interior is small with one table inside and another one outside. Strangely, there's also a connecting door to it's neighboring business, Studio 23 Beauty Center. Not sure if they are affiliated or what. I'm a sucker for bubble waffles and I think they are so fun to eat so I ordered the Bubble Strawberry Nutella. The bubble waffle was delicious! The outside was crisp, and the center was slightly sweet. It was topped with strawberries, Nutella, whipped cream, and slivers of almonds. I really loved the combo of the crips, chewy waffle with the fresh strawberries and crunchy nuts. The Bubble Strawberry comes with a scoop of ice cream, but I opted to not have it as I was taking this to go, and the ice cream would not have made the travel. They had other baked goods on display, but I noticed that they also sell cookies from the Sexy Batch Baking Co. I ended up getting 3 cookies: the Nutella Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip with Himalayan Pink Salt and the Playground cookie. The Nutella Chocolate Chip cookie was yummy. You really can't go wrong with Nutella in a cookie. The Playgound cookie was just okay, but thought it was interesting that it had marshmallows and potato chips in it. And I didn't really care for the Chocolate Chip with Himalayan Pink Salt. I usually love chocolate chip cookies with sea salt so I thought I would like this one too, but I was wrong. The Himalayan Pink Salt was just too overpowering, and the pieces of salt were so large. It was just too salty for me. Still a nice visit overall and I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

My new obsession. So cute inside and the Oreo milkshake was amazing. I'll come back to try some of the other shakes, smoothies, bubble waffles and food. It was busy inside so I took my shake to go.

A strange menu concept? Honestly, I was trying to figure out the purpose of their menu. They were mixing savory cheese with ice cream and fruit, which I found rather strange and unpleasant. I mean, why should my ice cream have grated cheese in it? I appreciate the original concept of half and half, but menu items were a little off-putting!

This waffles are the best. I love them so much specially this beautiful pregnancy . Service is great, but is only one person working in the place so they take some time to prepare your order.

I've had my eye on this place for years - should have come here sooner…read more Black sesame basque cheesecake: my favorite of the 4 I tried. This is actually cheesecake rather than the lighter Japanese version, with a strong black sesame flavor. Hojicha creme brulee: this came as part of a promotion, and the taste is strong. They do brulee the top on the spot and my sugar top got a little too burnt. Oolong tea cheesecake: still good, would get this again still. Lighter flavor but the floral flavor does come out at the end of a bite. Coconut milk jelly: the lightest of the flavor but still sweet and flavorful enough to come through. There's a dusting of graham crackers and strawberry jelly to complement. We also got a hot matcha jasmine latte but it was actually cold. It seems like it normally comes iced and perhaps they have no way of warming up the jasmine part. There's a points program and tons of promotions that rotate. There have also been different desserts that rotate so I'll have to keep coming back to try more. They have a lunch special too where you can get a drink or dessert for less cost.

Idk what possessed me to order 2 cake slices. I had such a hard time finishing. I'm all caked out…read morefor the week. 3.5/5 Black sesame basque cheesecake $7- the 1st few bites are great, but the black sesame flavor gets too strong after that 3/5 Ice chiffon cake $7- decent however, I expected the cake itself to be softer & more moist, but it's a bit on the drier side, not sure if the milk powder dusting on top attributes to it 4/5 Vanilla matcha latte- $7.25- I've had their plain matcha before which is good quality matcha, somewhat bitter like it should be w/o tasting like dirt, you add sugar or flavored syrup, last time I didn't add anything which I regretted, since I do like a bit of sweetener, this time I added vanilla syrup which is barely sweet, wish I'd requested a bit more syrup 5/5 Service- employee is very friendly & informative, make sure to ask which desserts are gelatin free if you eat halal or kosher

I can't believe it's been three years since my last review. I come here like every other week now…read moreand have been for the last several years. You will find the wackiest savory and sweet items here from shakes, to cakes and pop tarts, to monstrous sandwiches and sides. There's a whole vegan menu as well that is SOLID. I do wish they had more vegetarian specials because man those non veg special look fireeee but you can always sub out the meat for the vegan meat! Their vegetarian sandwiches though are some of the best around no cap. If these guys ever went for halal meat, I think it would actually be over for me. I do have to say though after having tried a few of their donut over the years, just skip. I find them to taste super strongly of oil and they're expensive as hell. Go for their cannoli rainbow cakes instead or their shakes if you want something sweet! There's indoor seating again now (yay) and a bathroom. I appreciate they also have jugs of water out so you can help yourselves. There's also a kiosk to order inside or you can order at the counter.

I wanted to like comfortland more, but I think I unfortunately went on an off day! The meatballs in…read moremy vodka meatball hero were a bit cold, and the Truffle parm tots had too much Truffle oil. That said, the vodka sauce on the sando itself was good, Truffle tots were a great value, and of course the oreo milkshake was divine. I'd give them another shot because I do see the potential, and the staff was friendly!
