Little Flower in Astoria is such a gem. We met up here with a longtime friend to catch up and meet their baby, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a relaxed, extended visit. It's definitely a cozy and popular café--mostly cozy because of the size. Seating is limited, but the interior design is clean, minimal, and uncluttered, which makes the space feel calm and welcoming despite the steady stream of customers coming in and out while we were there. Food-wise, everything impressed us. I ordered the pistachio croissant, while my companions got the gochujang hot chicken sandwich and the breakfast sandwich. The chicken sandwich was especially memorable--unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My pistachio croissant was also great; personally, I might have preferred a little less pistachio cream or a more textured filling like almond paste, but that's purely a preference. It was still excellent. The service really stood out. They were quick, friendly, and incredibly accommodating--one of my companions accidentally dropped their sandwich, and the staff replaced it free of charge without hesitation. That kind of kindness goes a long way. The price point is amazing for the quality of food you're getting, and we felt completely comfortable lingering for several hours. Throughout our stay, there was a consistent flow of customers, which says a lot. Highly recommend Little Flower if you're in Astoria and looking for great food, great value, and genuinely warm service. read more

This cafe is Astoria is a cute spot to catch up with a friend on a sunny weekend (which was exactly what I did haha). When I came at ~2pm on a Sunday, it was so busy and there were people sitting outside and inside. The cafe offers some breakfast food on top of their drink options. While I didn't get to try their food, my friend did and it looked amazing. I came wanting to try their pink chai but it was unfortunately out. So, I settled for their regular chai. Maybe it was because they were busy or something but I felt that their chai was very underwhelming. It tasted really watered down and sweet without any of the chai fragrance. Overall, while the vibe was great, I thought that their drinks were okay (or maybe I just had a miss). read more

Really crowded here but not sure what the hype is about. Perhaps I didn't order the right thing. I got the breakfast burrito and smash burger. The breakfast burrito said it would come with potato but no potatoes. However, I did like that the eggs were a soft scramble. I also got an iced latte and didn't love it. The cold brew was the sour kind which is not my thing but I know some People enjoy that. Curious about the guava pancakes though and hash brown so would try that next time. There is also a pastry selection but it's not displayed so will have to peak behind the cashier so missed a few items. read more

This is a really cute spot in Astoria. It gets super busy, and sometimes there's a line with barely any seating. Unfortunately, we were too late and missed their famous firni donuts -- inshallah next time The breakfast sandwich was delicious, and the chicken sandwich was perfectly balanced -- the gochujang and coleslaw worked so well together, and the bun-to-chicken ratio was on point. I also didn't expect the short rib sandwich to be as good as it was, but it really surprised me. The coffee was good. The pink tea though was just eh -- it tasted artificial, kind of perfumey, and overly sweet, not like real authentic Kashmiri chai. Overall though, I'd definitely go back. read more

Great coffee, super busy even at 11am on a Monday. Very friendly staff especially with a long line and crowded inside. Cute cafe

This place is small on the inside, but it's amazing. The food was so good! My husband and I split the lumberjack breakfast and it was more than enough for two people. It came with pancakes, eggs, toast, hash browns, avocado, salsa.. I'm sure I'm forgetting some of the toppings. We also got an almond croissant and some sort of muffin cinnamon roll with a citrus flavor on the inside. This is absolutely a place to come back to! read more

Such a cozy little corner Cafe! I wanted a good breakfast and iced Americano, and ended up ordering the Breakfast Burrito with lamb sausage as well as Raspberry Danish. The burrito really gets elevated when you order it with some protein. The lamb sausage is halal and it is spiced up with delicious earthy flavors. It's worth getting even though it's an added $4. The Danish, however, is my real favorite. The Raspberry jam is delicious and there is soft, creamy cheese inside. The Danish is baked perfectly, balancing the fluffiness and chewiness. Space is tight and there are not too many tables and chairs, but if the weather is as nice as today, outside is just as pleasant as inside. I'll definitely come back to explore more of the menu. Finally, everyone is just so friendly here, it is quite comforting. It can be a little lively because of the small space but I was able to read through a script while having my breakfast just fine. read more

You truly can't go wrong with anything here. I've tried 3/4 of their menu so far and have loved everything. Pastries, egg sandos, coffee, smash burger, etc. Really good iced mocha too!! read more

Cute little spot with yummy food! My friend & I came on a Sat afternoon around 1:30pm and all the pastries we wanted to try were sold out, so def come earlier to get them! We ended up getting the short rib sandwich which was so good, the meat was really tender and flavorful. We also got the pink tea - it was a little on the sweeter side, but still really good and I'd get that again. Overall a great spot for a good quick bite - will def come back earlier to try to snag the firni donut! read more

What a wonderful little spot with a BIG fan following! We stopped by for coffee and breakfast on a Friday, and were happy to see a line out the door (well deserved!). Their service is outstanding - everyone who works there is so kind. Their menu has a big variety including plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. Their coffee is great, and their avocado toast was one of the best I've ever had. My only regret is that I did not get a pastry too - they look insanely good. They have a decent amount of seating for their size, and it is first-come first-served. Absolutely worth the stop if you're in the area! read more

I ate here before and can't believe I haven't raved about it yet! This time I had a breakfast burrito. It was chock full of breakfast goodness and toasted to perfection. It was so big I couldn't even finish it. It had scrambled eggs, salsa, onions, cheese, tomatoes, all the breakfast goodness and I added bacon for a slight upcharge. Magnificent! They are cooking up everything fresh so there's a little wait but it's worth it . I've had the avocado toast before and it is the best! They don't skimp on anything here. And their coffee is delicious. They have tables inside or you can take it to go and sit in the park nearby. Super nice staff too! read more

Stopped by on a Friday morning to fully occupied tables and a line to order. Don't let the crowd deter you because the coffee and Firni donut are worth it. They brew the amazing Sey coffee beans. I got a hot latte with almond milk which was probably a barista blend because it had a very nutty flavor - I like it, it's different. I would come back for their donut alone. I honestly don't know the exact ingredients because there wasn't a description. It was topped with pistachios with a sweet glaze. The filling is light and foamy. It had notes of olive oil and cardamom. Overall, a great local cafe to pick up quality coffee and food. read more

The food was incredible! I got a few things based off of recommendations and can't say enough great things. The short rib packed so much flavor and the onions complimented it so well. The were out of some pastries so we got a cinnamon roll that was suggested by a staff member- it was so fluffy and delicious. Sweet but well balanced. The pink chai was refreshing and had a strong floral taste that I loved. The set is small and intimate but very lovely if you can find a spot to sit. read more

This is just for the beverages. I tried the Golden Dusk chai and they described it as a smoky Thai tea. It took a couple of sips to orient me to the flavor but I see what they mean. It was a bit too sweet for my liking though and I'd ask if they could decrease the sweetness if possible. I tried a sip of the matcha spritz and this was good without much sweetness. The matcha latte with oat milk had no additional sweetness - I could have used more matcha flavor though. read more

Cute cafe Has a few seats inside, first come first serve. Service: good. They call your name when order is ready. Ordered their soft scramble egg sammie with halal bacon. Bacon was good. Sammie a little messy to eat. read more

Pleased to see they use Sey Coffee which is some of the best coffee in the entire city, so the coffee will not disappoint. Really what I cam here for, though, were the pastries, which also did not disappoint. The pistachio donut was something special, as well as the cardamom bun. They were freshly made, and you can tell the place puts in a ton of effort into their baked goods as many people are coming here for their pastries, some of which ran out by noon! Bits of vanilla bean decorated this fresh donut filling and there was a wonderful lightly sweet glaze on top and crumbly pistachio bits. The cardamom bun was also quite special, and had layers circumferentially upon itself like a cinnamon roll does, but has a tougher exterior which was enjoyable to bite into, and a nice, perfectly sweet frosting on top! The breakfast sandwich was good, though didn't stand out as much. Would definitely come back though to try the rest of their pastries and have more amazing coffee! read more

Let's just start off by saying these were the best sandwiches I've had in a VERY LONG TIME! Ordered the short rib and the sammie (BEC) and my goodness they were so good. Juicy, filling, hot, fresh, flavorful and finger licking good. Honestly just pull up and see for yourself! read more

Ordered: Iced Latte (~$5.50) with rose syrup (50¢) and oat milk Firni Donut (~$6) Guava Pancakes (~$12): homemade guava glaze, homemade whipped cream, maple syrup, and butter Aya's take: Found myself back at Little Flower and it's so good to see they're doing well in business. The Iced Latte with rose syrup & oat milk was just as good as last time - but it was a bummer that their cups no longer say "Little Flower" on it. They were so cute! I got to try the Firni Donut. Firni is an Afghan dessert but I've never seen it in donut form. It was creamy and mildly sweet from the milk & sugar and the donut was soft and delicate. The Guava Pancakes were a good try and if I'm being honest, my favorite part was the homemade whipped cream. Do I see & taste real vanilla bean!? Hell yes! The guava glaze was mostly palatable when I tried it on its own but definitely gets lost in a bite with everything else. The pancakes are pretty thin which I personally liked but if you're looking for thicker, more cakey pancakes, this might not be the dish for you. We wanted to stay longer to just chill & read but it got super busy and chaotic that we decided to leave after finishing up. Still one of the best cafes in Astoria! read more

I came with friends in the morning for brunch on July 4th. Surprisingly there's already a line outside of the door waiting to place order. The place is small with only a few tables and very noisy when it's getting crowded. The food is amazing. Egg sandwich with bacon is highly recommended. The egg is so fluffy and tasty. Short ribs sandwich is not bad either, but the sauces and arugula flavor overpowered the ribs. Remember to add cardamon syrup to the drinks, it makes a big difference. The furni donuts are sold out quickly. Unfortunately we have to try next time. Come before 11 am if you wanna grab one. read more

This place rocks! I had a firni donut, breakfast burrito, and a drip coffee for $26 with tax and tip. Breakfast burrito - hearty and packed with flavor. I loved the refried beans and salsa, plus the little bit of crunch. Firni donut - incredible fluffy texture and a decadent cream filling. The pistachio and rose flavors were really unique and delicious. Drip coffee - a nice medium roast from Dayglow. It's always nice to see that places stock beans from local roasters. read more

Obsessed with this place. First of all, it's a coffee shop that serves food. Secondly, it's not located in Manhattan and thus not grossly overpriced. Finally, everything I tried was pretty awesome. My boyfriend and I biked over on a Sunday morning at 9:50 AM and got a table with no trouble, though it was packed for the rest of the time we were there. I tried: + Guava pancake - perfect, haven't had one of these since I was in Hawaii and I loved it + iced pink tea - excellent + Espresso - perfect + breakfast burrito - really good + Tumeric bun - absolute best thing, get this + Cardamom knot - perfect Will get the Firni doughnut and more coffee next time (they brew Sey. Taste)! read more

What a Gem This is a small local neighborhood cafe nestled in Astoria, close to train station (36 Ave, NW train). Sitting at the corner of the block, its welcoming vibe attracts you inside. The cozy space is brightly lit with natural light from its large windows, with cozy seatings lining up the windows. Decor is clean chic minimalist but with warm tones; staff here even warmer and friendly. I tried the Oat Latte for stay (they serve in ceramic cup by Famiware, and Oatly milk). I've been trying to cut down microplastic consumption so this was important to me as well as Oatly (haven't found any other oat milk that taste better, although I know about the oil). Moving on to the pastries yum! Tried their Firini Donut with custard center and pistachio topping + strawberry danish. They have seasonal fruit danish, right now apple, blueberry and strawberry. They were delish, I don't like my danish overly sweet and they were sweet but not overly sweet. I was also craving for eggs! And they accommodated and let me order a side of scrambled eggs which were sooo good. Visiting cafe is such a trip for me, especially when the space is warm and inviting, with great staff and this is a must visit if you are nearby; totally worth the trekking over to Astoria. Daon loved the cushiony seat @daon_the_pup read more

Little Flower is goated. Only reason why it's a 3/5 for me is that my drink order (whether it be a coffee/latte/matcha) always seems to be overly milky. So I've opted for getting bites here. My friends and I got the breakfast burrito and the firni donuts. Breakfast burrito was girthy, hefty, and full of flavor. Would get it again with merguez! But I honestly met god when I bit into that donut. That filling mama... that rosewater cardamom combination in my mouth? UGHHHH YESSSS. Worth every cavity for sure. read more

Still a great cafe! Now I always get the pink drink, it's very rose-y. I've had it both iced and hot, and prefer it hot. You can adjust the sweetness level too which is great. They haven't had the cardamom bun (def my fav) the last few times I've gone :( the turmeric bun was ok - I didn't get any strong flavors of turmeric so it was just a sweet bun. I primarily wanted to update that they do not have wifi! So not a place to do work, but still a good place to read or catch up with friends. It can get very busy in the late morning (10-12). read more

The perfect balance of rose syrup to cardamom filling in a wonderful brioche donut. No notes (except I wish it were bigger).

Little Flower is such a sweet little gem. I was immediately greeted by sweetness from Morgan. She was super helpful with deciding on drinks and food. I went for the iced matcha and guava pancakes. The pancakes were divine! Very special with the guava drizzle on top and homemade whipped cream. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy and soft. Also love that their matcha was ceremonial grade! Definitely would recommend going for the pancakes themselves. Also, very nice to have good staff and a comfy environment! 10/10 read more

We stopped in based on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. It is an all-day halal cafe. On a rainy Sunday morning and it was so crowded. There are only 5- 6 tables for 2 and the line was long. The pistachio donut was so good. It was filled with a pastry cream that had a bit of spice and floral flavor and topped with pistachios. We also had the chocolate croissant... so big, flaky and chocolatey. We split the breakfast burrito with Halal bacon and it was so good. It was stressful waiting for a table, but by the time our food arrived we were able to get a table and enjoy our breakfast. Would highly recommend. read more

Just moved to the other side of LIC, and my younger brother noticed this cafe not too far from me. We decided to check it out on a Sunday morning and I was not expecting a crowd of people here. Little flower is a small cafe, with limited seating. But the baked goods and breakfast sandwich caught our eyes, especially the halal bacon (beef bacon). I ended up getting a pistachio croissant, and an egg sandwich with the beef bacon. The bread is made in house and was delicious! They also gave a good amount of bacon. The croissant was out of this world good! The pistachio filling was so light , it was delicious. The dirty chai was good, but I have a feeling the pink drink is what I should have gotten. The service was amazing, they were quick and efficient, answered all my questions and gave great recommendations. But just a FYI, it's a bit pricey. Would I stop by again? For the baked goods, absolutely! read more

Great place to grab a quick sip and bite but the overcrowding (especially on weekends) has become out of control during peak hours. So please don't be those types of people who lounge around with their laptops or books or with a group of friends when it gets busy - it can get super uncomfortable when a mass amount of people start coming in and scattering all over the small space. I know I've come close to getting clocked in the face by those just loitering around instead of waiting outside. That said, I've come here on several occasions for some nice coffee and a sandwich after the gym. It's ALWAYS on point. Their Short Rib sandwich is honestly my favorite item to get here. It may look small but it is enough to fill you up for a few hours and yes, it is very messy, in case you're wondering :) I always get their cold brew and it's more of a light roast fare, which is to my liking. Their pear and goat cheese danish is also very nice and may be a little odd for those who aren't used to having sweet, tart, salty, and herbally flavors all at once. It's definitely on the pricier side and caters more to the transplanted crowd in Astoria but the prices rightfully reflect their quality. I've been lucky and never really had to wait but I personally wouldn't wait on line, especially when there's other cafes nearby. read more

Cute neighborhood cafe in northern LIC/southern Astoria area. It can get super duper busy on weekends especially closer to noon. Some seating but I wouldn't really plan to find a seat if you're coming with more than 4 people. I did see a couple outlets, but not sure if they have WiFi. Service was kinda slow and seems like one of the cashiers/workers was new so he had trouble getting people the right orders. On a lazy Sunday though this was pretty easy to overlook. The oat milk latte was solid. The filled donut was good although I couldn't quite figure out what the flavors were meant to be. The cardamom croissant though was great. Sticky and sweet exterior with a fluffy/buttery/layered inside. Definitely would come back here as well for some of their more brunch items, too. Overall, a cute neighborhood bakery in an area kinda lacking on coffee shops imo. read more

Little Flower - Donut, cardamom croissant, oat milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Astoria, New York

This place is a gem in Astoria. The coffee is hand crafted and the lattes have a nice velvety foam. They have really awesome looking and tasting pastries with a middle eastern flair. They also have a small breakfast and lunch menu such as a breakfast burrito and and a burger. They also have seasonal pastries like a pumpkin spice donut that are not on the posted menu. The pastries are fresh and are on a pastry cart behind the register. I've only had the coffee and pastries, but am really looking forward to trying their gochujang hot chicken sammie and short rib sandwich. The atmosphere is a minimalist and industrial design. They are right on the corner with large windows on the south and west side so it is nice and bright. The barista we met on a weekend morning was really nice too. I've come here a few times and always seem at least half full so seating may be a bit difficult to find. They do have a few bistro tables and chairs outside. I also really liked their ceramic serve-ware W/R/F that is sleek and handmade. read more

Finally tried the breakfast burrito - immediately want to eat it again. Definitely get the halal bacon. There are plenty of options on the menu. Everyone working at Little Flower is super friendly. The interior is cozy despite the very modern/industrial? seating. The cafe is popular but the service is fast and seating seems to turn over at a decent pace. They allow laptops but don't provide wifi. They're still putting three cafe tables outside and the block gets enough sun that sitting outside is still doable in cold-ish weather. read more
