    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.

    This is a combined review of the last several times I went. Yesterday, I got rose milk tea with…read morelychee popping boba. The lychee popping boba is sour. Milk teas go better with tapioca. Out of all the flavors I've tried here so far, nothing beats the rose milk tea. I also like the Thai milk tea but it doesn't beat the rose. The main problem I have with their milk teas is that every time I ask for less syrup (25,50%), I get no syrup. It's either full syrup or no syrup, which means too sweet or no sweetener. With the exception of the brown sugar milk tea, which had a clump of sugar syrup on the bottom, the rest of the times I asked for less syrup, I got none. I didn't realize the sugar syrup was clumped together at the bottom of the cup for the brown sugar milk tea. The 1st sip was extremely sweet since all the syrup came up. The rest of the drink was devoid of sweetener. I've tried the following milk teas recently: black sesame, jasmine, & brown sugar. I didn't like any of these because of the lack of sweetener. Anyway, learned my lesson not to ask for less sweet drinks here. I also noticed something weird when I went a few months ago. The employee had her phone stuck out from under the employee side pointed towards us. Seemed like she was recording. Weird. Anyway, the OD ( Thai tea) toast was sadly a bit too burnt for me that day. When I went again this week, the OD toast was on point. I always get Thai tea filling cream since I've learned from the 1st time that I got the mixed, the pandan has no flavor whatsoever.

I've tried the panda toast and the Thai tea toast. The Thai tea toast doesn't really have a strong Thai tea flavor but it is still very good. Mango shaved ice is very good. Lots of magic flavor and chunks of mango. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a dessert spot open later in the area.

We got the ginger milk pudding. Do think it's a bit pricey ($10) since it's an easy dessert to make but I guess it's all the theatrics. They pour the dessert in front of you and put a sand glass on top. Once sand glass is done, so is the dessert and you can even rest a spoon on top. The dessert is very smooth, barely a solid, and its ginger taste is very strong- which I like. Strong ginger but pairs well with the milk and good amount of sugar. It is a bit spicy but I like it this way. They do have a lot of other desserts as well as savory items on the menu. Intrigued by their savory menu and will definitely come back to try them next time.

One word: Scrumptious Snack: Octopus Ball (Takoyaki) Mmm, these bite-sized takoyaki were savory and super tasty. I paid my bill in cash to take advantage of a 2% discount. Bookmark this spot to try!

Since we were in Forest Hills, Queens, and I had never been here, we chose to go to Eddie's. This place is really good, with an extensive menu of desserts ranging from soda floats to banana splits and many other little treats. A sweet lover's paradise. Personally, when it comes to ice cream or sweets, I tend to keep it simple. Give me a good vanilla ice cream scoop and I am a happy person. Give me a great ice cream scoop and I am even happier. Let's just say I left this place very satisfied. I had my basic yet delicious ice cream scoops. Yum. I am currently following a strict diet regimen for one more month, but after that, I will definitely come back for some of their tasty ice cream. My son, wife, and friends were also enjoying their sweets. This is a great place. They have seats, but it gets really busy and there is usually a bit of a wait. Yet that is not a bad thing. It shows how popular the place is. If you are looking for sweets, come check this place out.

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.

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.
