Espresso and tonic
Gajtana S.

Down to earth vibe in this coffee shop with communal seating inside. Some outdoor seating available. My pour over coffee with almond milk was refined and quite good. I had my first ever everything croissant with cream cheese inside. The service was friendly and efficient. I'll be back to try more of their coffee and baked goods.

I recently popped into Kinship Coffee to get some studying done. It seems like I wasn't alone; other folks (as in one other person and my friend) were also hitting the books. However, there's a one-hour time limit, which is a bit of a bummer if you're planning on a marathon study session (though I'm not sure how strictly they enforce this since we didn't stay that long). On the plus side, I definitely appreciated the free WiFi. It made staying productive a lot easier. That said, I did end up with a headache, which I think was due to the strong scent in the air. It was a bit overwhelming. Overall, Kinship Coffee has a nice vibe for a quick study session, but be prepared for the time limit. Will definitely come back to try their drinks though -- seems like people typically have good things to say about this place!

Iced Latte (~$6): with lavender (75¢) and oat milk (50¢)
Aya E.

Ordered: Iced Latte (~$6): with lavender (75¢) and oat milk (50¢) Aya's take: I really like this location of Kinship as it's close to Astoria Park, has indoor and outdoor seating, and most importantly - the coffee is bomb! An Iced Oat Lavender Latte is my go-to order at most coffee shops and I have to say, Kinship did it so right. It was creamy and rich with just the right amount of lavender. Absolutely loved it and will be back when I need a caffeine kick and find myself back in the area.

Maple oat milk latte

Service is quick and the folks behind the counter work quick. There is plenty of seating and even had chairs outside for this unreasonably warm (and rainy) day. Plus - they have REAL CUPS! Such a great little perk then always drinking out of to go cups. Feels real homey.

Decaf oat flat white
Wonjun S.

I quite like this shop! They have cuppings of their espresso every monday, that I haven't gone to yet but I love the idea. I've tried a decaf oat flat white, a tea, and their "Winter Tonic." Amazing! The winter tonic was really really good, even with decaf espresso. All of the baristas have been very kind thus far and I loved how spacious and cozy the interior was. Will definitely be coming back.

Espresso, to stay

Like fancy coffee? Addicted to caffeine? Visit Kinship! I've *only* been here mornings (and many times), so I can't comment on how the cafe is later in the day. But if you're here early? There's usually free seats (including on their patio) and plenty of natural light. If I were a cat, I'd curl up on the floor with an espresso. Besides espressos, I love their pourovers and cortados. Recommended if you're a fan of either. Credit accepted. No loyalty card, sadly. But even without one, I'm still loyal to them! FYI: there are at least two Kinship Coffees in Astoria - this review is for the one near Astoria Park.

Whenever I need a good walk, I end up heading to this location of kinship coffee. The cafe is spacious, and has some great baristas! I really enjoy their chili cheese danish and croissants - has a nice kick. Staff are pleasant and sure know how to make a tasty decaf, which isn't always achievable.

Cute coffee shop with a cute aesthetic (love that they name their plants) and good wifi. I've only tried the maple cold brew and I think it's delicious, Strong but not overpowering. The hot chocolate is good. I've stopped by and have worked here, service has always been kind and quick. I can only comment for early afternoon times, I'm not sure how the morning rush might be like.

Great location
Michelle D.

Kinship serves up one of the best coffees in the neighborhood the place is big and clean with lots of seating making it a great place to go to work on the laptop or just relax with friends . They offer up a punch card so your 10th coffee is free ! Staff is always pleasant and coffee is always perfect I personally love the lavender latte with oat milk

Clean, LOFI, spacious. Service was quick, kind, and informative. Coffee, tea and pastries available. Pet friendly Wheelchairs accessible Great place to sit and chill

Nice cafe -with friendly staff -but disorganized service, We came here last Sunday for a hot brew and herbal tea. We were in line and were told someone was in front of us. It wasn't worth arguing about. We wanted to order tea and coffee that we could get immediately and asked for recommendations that didn't take 15 mins or more. Nevertheless, service was slow and disorganized, and it took far longer to place and receive than it should have done at any other compatible cafe. The cafe has tables, restrooms, and communal seating with free wi-fi, but they are not worth a second visit for me! I will not be back!

ham & cheese croissant (yum) and oat milk latte (great)
Josh B.

Great spot! Came here on a Saturday morning to read my book. Ordered the Ham & Cheese Croissant and an Oat Milk Latte. Both were great. I was pleasantly surprised with a live jazz trio playing while I was there. Great way to start my Saturday morning. Will definitely be back!

They have a table to pickup preorders so you don't have to wait in the main line. I ordered a dozen for $39. You can select your assortment. Here's my review in order from the best to the least desirable, according to our group. Vanilla custard- the filling was thick and speckled with vanilla beans. It wasn't too sweet. This was the best according to our group. Strawberry filled- this is most traditional and Breads Bakery does a nice job. The jam is homemade. Pistachio- this doughnut was filled with smooth pistachio cream and was topped with a few pieces of pistachio. Not traditional, but they did a good job. Chocolate- the filling tasted like a semisweet or bittersweet cream/custard. Like the others, it was smooth. The vanilla was more popular among our group and I personally didn't love this doughnut. Mango- this was the one that those in my group felt missed the mark. It wasn't cloyingly sweet, so that was good, but the filling didn't do anything for us either. If you're looking for a mango dessert the one at Lysée is a real winner.

Normally, I frequent the Union Square location where I got the loyalty card and finally was able to have this iced drink on such a hot day.

It's small and there's only…read moreone table in the tiny corner of the shop where it's mainly people sitting to quickly drink their coffee or wait for their friends to get coffee. Most people are in and out. The coffee is rich and flavorful. The pastries are not bad either. Definitely a good neighborhood spot for those that aren't looking to spend their whole day in a coffee spot but instead are looking to grab and go.

Let me tell you why this coffee shop stands above the rest:…read more 1. They use quality beans. I'm a home barista and use Oslo's beans for my americanos. When I moved to the UES, I was worried finding a new local roaster. I've had bad experiences where the beans are too oily or something is off that messes with my usually grind size/extraction time. No issues with Oslo's beans. 2. They actually know how to make a proper americano. Every coffee shop takes a standard cup, puts in the espresso shot, and then fills hot water to the brim of the cup. This destroys the flavor of the espresso. You end up with hot water that tastes slightly like coffee. Oslo chooses quality over quantity. They don't fill the water up to the brim, so you have a cup with 2/3 of liquid; however, this is a proper americano. You can taste the difference. At other shops, I just get drip coffee because they don't know what they're doing. Oslo knows what they're doing. That's why I come here.

We were a little late for our reservation, and they gave our table away, which was quite annoying. However, the service, hospitality, and food more than made up for it. Someone came over to apologize for the mix up and offered us complimentary white wine while we waited for another table to open up. The wine was delicious! When we were finally seated, we started with some drinks. I got the Speranza, and it was light, fresh, and delicious! We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary bread basket brought to the table, as it's a rarity in nyc these days. We split a burrata amongst the table. Loved the addition of figs. I ordered the rigatoni all'aragosta for my dish, which was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. There was a decent portion of lobster in the dish, and I couldn't even finish all of it, I was so full. One of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while. My friends ordered the bolognese and the fettuccine alla nerano, and they enjoyed their dishes as well! We skipped dessert this time, but I would definitely be back for it. I also want to try the paccheri next time, as well as their coffee shop in the mornings! Overall, a well executed restaurant with great ambience (would be great for a date night with the dim lighting and ability to hear each other speak). They just need to get a bigger dining room so they can seat more parties because they always seem to be booked full!

Unfortunately, it was totally bland and not large at all. The side sauce added nothing and over 30$ with tax/tip. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta and the guazzetto di Pesci. The pasta was good. Reasonable amount of pasta but we would have liked some more chunks of lobster for the price. I thought the sauce was only ok but my girlfriend liked it. The guazzetto di Pesci was only fair. The sauce was lacking flavor. Also a very small bowl of broth with maybe 3 small shrimp and muscles, a few small chunks of fish. and two sad, tiny pieces of bread on the side. Since we were still quite hungry after the meal, we ordered the lotus chocolate caramel dessert. This was the only dish we really liked. kinda hard to mess up gelato though. It came with a hard outer candy shell and a very small cookie center that was sweet and delicious. Overall, an average meal at best that we both felt was lacking in taste and size. Won't return.
