For Valentine's day, I tried this spot. How quaint and wonderful! The ladies who work here are nice. The cafe has so many yummy brunch options. I enjoyed my butter shrimp platter, and it came with a helping of rice! Along with my meal, I ordered a lavender latte. Oh my goodness, it was so sweet and warmed me right up. We walked in on a 20 degree day, windy, crispy, bone cutting cold. read more

Brunch at Maison de Manee in LIC, Queens French-Thai fusion done right. Cozy spot, elite service... seating a little tight if you're 6'4" and built like a retired power forward, but we made it work. Started strong with the French Toasted Crème Brûlée -- buttery brioche, vanilla custard, crackly caramel top, bananas doing their thing. Absolutely dangerous. Washed it down with a Thai Iced Tea packed with so much flavor it should come with a warning label. Then the CHEF'S SPECIAL pulled up in a hot skillet like it owned the place: sunny-side eggs, sweet pork sausage, ground pork, tomatoes, carrots, seasoning sauce, pepper powder... cooked to perfection. If you've never had it, order it. If you're Thai, it might just hit you right in the childhood. Fun fact: Maison means home in French. Manee means precious gem in Thai. Translation? This place is a gem for Queens. Highly recommended. No skips. read more

Maison de Manee has so much potential! Super excited to see what they have cooking coming forward. Space is very homey, quaint, and comfortable. Do note, however, that the service is quite slow. I waited maybe 30 minutes for these two dishes. Coconut Cream Pancakes - The coconut cream itself is light and delicious, but there isn't nearly enough of it. The pancakes are fairly thick, so after a few bites, I feel like the pancake overpowers the coconut flavor. I really wish they layered some of the cream between the pancakes, or give an extra bowl of that delicious cream! Even some extra maple syrup would be good because at the end it was kind of just plain pancake. That said, the batter does have coconut pieces mixed in, which is a nice touch. Thai Pesto Chicken Crepe with Mushroom and Spinach - Very well made and definitely good, but I feel like it tasted more like regular pesto with a hint of Thai basil? The portion is also quite small for the price. Still, hard to complain too much since it was genuinely delicious! read more

Maison de Manee - Coconut Cream Pancake - Thai Near Me - Long Island City, New York

This was on my bucket list to try one day. Today was finally the day. I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the food is. The two lattes I ordered were delicious. I tried the honey and rose lattes. Both drinks were presented well, great aesthetics. I loved the quality of the honey used. The rose latte was perfectly rosy. The chef's special and the coconut pancake were super delectable! I love these kinds of breakfast. The menu offerings for food and beverage were great. The staff were friendly and pleasant. My food and drink came immediately. This place is a must try. It is a tiny restaurant, but cute. I need to go back and try the other food options such as the sweet and savory crepes. I want to try the Tom Yum porridge next time. You will be pleasantly surprised too. read more

Maison de Manee - Strawberry Matcha - Thai Near Me - Long Island City, New York

Super cute cafe with yummy food! It's a very small space, but they do have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice & you can bring your dog. The food did take a while to get to us. 10/10 the best thing on the menu was the french toasted creme brulee. SO GOOD, unique, and not too sweet. The shrimp tom yum porridge was just okay, there were only a few pieces of shrimp and the rest tasted like regular porridge. Their pandan cold brew was also not sweet at all, which some people enjoy and others don't - wish there was more pandan flavor though! The crepe was solid - I loved the coconut flavor in the crepe batter and the pesto was flavorful without being too overpowering. The parmesan potatoes were kind of soggy by the time it got to us. The chef's special was also really good, but kind of small for the price. Overall, will def be coming back for the french toast and to try other crepes! read more

Came on a Saturday at 1:30 PM and got seated after a 10-minute wait. I'm torn because the rose latte was amazing, but the pandan crepe was undercooked. I'll give them another try though - the banana creme brûlée French toast looked amazing! read more

Came here for a weekend brunch with my girlfriend as we saw the interesting menu featuring Massaman Curry crepes. This is a cute little spot in Astoria that had maybe 5-6 tables inside and a handful outside. However, even on a Saturday morning around 11am it was not too crowded to get a seat. The food here is really good and unique! I've never had massaman curry crepes before but the combo works as a nice, hearty, flavorful breakfast. If anything my only complaint is that I was still slightly hungry, so I also got a sweet crepe as a bonus. This was also super tasty, so I'm not complaining :D. I also particularly loved my drink, which was a "Coconut Cloud Espresso". Given the night I had beforehand, it was nice to get my coffee in a more hydrating form, with some nice refreshing electrolytes from the coconut water. Overall, super cute little spot with great food and drinks- definitely recommend it for brunch if you live nearby. 5/5 read more

We got here on Saturday noon, and it was busy but luckily got a table. Our food did take 30-40 mins to come though after we ordered. The tomkha bisque was very flavorful but much too salty. Luckily, we got the chicken pesto crepe which was good, but on the blender side so we could offset. We also got the thai tea croissant which was good, and the cream is not too sweet. The matcha latte was decent but lukewarm as it was sitting after it was done as there is only one wait staff. Wife said that her coffee was good. We'd go back but might try to go during a less busy time. read more

I've been keeping an eye out for this place and I finally got to go!!! It is a cute cafe with good amount of seating and very kind staffs:) The menu shows all the recommendations or their speciality which helped us to pick what to get, though, they all looked SO good so it still took us some time. I ended up getting croque madam, which was a great portion and Delicious. the tom kha bisque though, I wanted to get another bowl or maybe 5 million more!!!!! I would love to come back again for many other things I didn't get to try. Only if my stomach could take in more! read more

This continues to be my favorite place I. The neighborhood. Even when it's busy (which is so great to see) it's worth every second of wait. The food continues to be fantastic, and now that they're doing rotating seasonal specials, there's always new things to try- though I may need to beg them to keep the pink rose latte on the menu because it's my new favorite. read more

Exciting to have a new cute little cafe/eatery in the neighborhood, offering a mix of Thai and French flavors and dishes. Chef's special $15 sounds really simple but much more flavorful than it looks - sweet pork sausage was my favorite part. Portion wise on the smaller end so you won't get food coma eating here. We also got the savory crepe with chicken, Thai pesto cream, mushroom and spinach - comes with a small salad $17. The crepe was a touch too crispy for me but overall light and good dish. Super cute interior but very tight seating and space, hard to get into the inside seat without hitting the next table. There are also a few tables on the sidewalk. Service was good but food took a really long time - I was prepared for slow service given some reviews but we ended waiting 75 mins for the first dish to come and the second dish didn't come until ten minutes after that. Luckily we got the last available table so there was no wait in advance. So if you come here, maybe set aside 2 hours just in case at least as the cafe is getting into their groove. read more

I order for take out. It took long but that's okay. I place an order for ice matcha latte and lavender latte. I took pictures and as you can see doesn't look good but most importantly it doesn't taste good. Not to be little anybody but I've tasted great quality matcha from the roots of Japan and this doesn't taste like it . The lavender latte taste like chemicals in a cup. I think Starbucks might have been better but I don't drink from Starbucks either. When it comes to food I'm very very very picky especially if I'm going to waste more than 50 dollars on a simple order like two lattes and avocado toast. The avocado toast was 12 dollars don't understand why . Its not good quality. Bread wasn't toasted and the avocado wasn't ripe enough for me to eat. The tomatoes taste like non organic. The pancakes taste like the batter from shop rite. I don't shop at shop rite I shop at Whole Foods .... For a pricey cafe it should be cheap like McDonalds. This food reminds me of McDonalds. read more

Cute cafe w a fun twist on the classic French brunch w thai flavors. I really enjoyed my mango sticky rice crepe and the ham w gruyere crepe was solid. The ouef manee was decent but not my favorite. I'd be down to come back and try other items here if I'm in the area! They also have good drink options from pandan cold foam to pumpkin Thai spice lattes. The cafe itself is on the smaller side but we luckily didn't have a hard time getting a table! read more

Food: simple and pleasant, small portions for an almost $20 dish, easy menu. Service: standard, not bad and are friendly, they greet you and are polite Ambiance: it's small. The entrance is a bit confusing. You walk in and they ask you if you are dining in or taking out. There are chairs outside (looks like 4 tables for two). Tables inside are for maybe 4 to 5 parties. There are stools but I can't imagine it would be comfortable sitting there imo -- since it is quite small. There are some random supplies here and there, nothing big, tucked away in a corner. Napkins and silverware, plates and cups were beautiful. The music playing is cafe French. The silverware and music made the ambiance pretty. Overall, it was cute. I don't know if playing French music and having some French named dishes would consider this place a French cafe (I do know there is a little bit of a Thai flare). A thought did cross my mind that I probably could have cooked this at home. It was hard to be full. Server was professional. All that you see in these photos + the tip totaled to about $50. Mindblown. It is safe to say that it was an okay experience. read more

The outer edges of the Astoria-Long Island City's informal border is on fire, with the latest great food addition of Maison de Manee. A fantastic French meets Thai newcomer not far from where I hand my proverbial hat when visiting up north. The staff was gorgeous attentive and did I mention gorgeous? My ice mats h latte took longer to arrive than I typically care for but the end result was worth the wait. This was a recon hit and run mission so I didn't try the crepes having just enjoyed amazing pizza at Gia's, but I digress. The crepes looked perfect and will likely swing by for Sunday brunch (manana). I can't wait. My dilemma is whether to go for the savory or sweet crepe? read more

I've eaten food from this place every way you possibly can. In house, takeout, and I've had it delivered if that gives you an idea of how tasty the food is. I discovered this place because my kids get their hair cuts next door. The people there are incredibly nice. The restaurant itself is small, but there is also seating outside. They cook in the restaurant itself (it has a tiny footprint) so things do take time. What you can expect from this place though is quality. I've had the pandan cream crepe, the pandan croissant, a few different coffee beverages, and eggs with the parmesan potatoes. Everything is good! Particularly tasty was the apple chai-der, which I got last time (a seasonal fall beverage). Honestly this place is amazing. Come here. You won't be disappointed read more

I've been a couple of times now. I had the shrimp porridge which was excellent I thought, very bright flavors. I also had the Tom kha and I really enjoyed it as well. I thought it was savory and indulging. Their coffee and latte are also very good. read more

Such a cute and yummy little spot! Love the aesthetic and ambiance of this cafe. The soft French music playing in the background is at a nice level that gives it a whimsical feel and still allows you to talk to your group without having to raise your voice. The food was amazing! I never go for savory crepes but really happy to have tried the chicken pesto crepe! The coconut pancakes and the mango coco crepe were so refreshing and good! Not too sweet but still flavorful. Not pictured but also worth a try were the pandan croissant and pumpkin spice latte. Will definitely be coming back!! read more

I don't normally post reviews and I hate to be this person but I was shocked how much this place didn't live up to my expectations or a rating over 4.5 stars. We waited SO long to order and even longer to get our food (like over 45 minutes once we ordered). We arrived around 10:20 and the first dish came out 11:40. We ordered very simple dishes - an omelette, fried eggs, and a crepe. There seemed to be only two people working - a waitress also making coffee and a cook. The first eggs came out cold. Which is confusing because how did it not come out immediately? The waitress is right where the food is and there's nothing else to do because everyone in here is just waiting. The crepe did come out warm and was tasty but definitely not worth the wait. The final dish (the omelette) came out at 11:45. It was warm. But again: not worth the wait. The waitress thanked us for our patience but no other attempt was made to explain the delays or apologize. I'm genuinely confused by how long it took. If they had staff missing or some other issue, I would recommend that they communicate that or have much more limited seating that they could handle. read more

Wonderful and kind service, delicious and creative foods. We had the coconut cream pancakes which were great, and the mango sticky rice crepe - WOW, so delicious. The coffee is also excellent - by far the best in this neighborhood. The seating is comfortable, lovely and relaxing French music playing...this is our new favorite place. read more

The food here is really great! Chicken pesto crepe and bacon avocado crepe were both delicious and came with a little side salad that was dressed nicely. We also split a Thai tea croissant and it was amazing. Order was ready within 20 minutes. Just got takeout today but it looks cute inside and will be back! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stop by here for brunch to celebrate my birthday. I started off with a Thai iced tea which was delicious and not overly sweet like at other places. Then we got the Thai tea croissant which was deliciously light and sweet. My boyfriend got the eggs platter with a side of bacon and loved it. Eggs were cooked perfectly over medium and there was a generous amount of bacon (which is good cause I stole half of it). The Parmesan roasted potatoes are also a must try. I got the French toast crème brûlée and a side of over medium eggs to balance out the sweetness. It came with a crème brûléed banana which added some crunch to the dish. It was super yummy but definitely on the sweeter side. But overall the food was excellent and we loved it. Overall we had a great time and hope that this place gets the recognition it deserves. We're definitely coming back another time to try the crepes! read more

I'm thrilled that this independent cafe opened near my home. The atmosphere is sweet, the drinks are tasty, and the staff is delightful. The only savory item I've had on the menu is the omelette, and it was fabulous.
