Often, food outshines any other element during a trip to a cafe or restaurant. When I think back to…read moreour must recent visit here though, I'm reminded again and again how pleasant the staff were. It took us a while to decide on what to buy partly because we were buying also for our friends. Naturally, we were asked relatedly by at least the different staff if we needed help or if we were ready to order. Each time, they seemed genuinely want to help, and made us feel welcome with their smiles and gentle demeanor. For myself, the pistachio muffin was totally satisfying and I confirm they did not slump on the nuts. The crunchy eclair was a BIG hit with our friends, and the rest is kind of a blur but I know we enjoyed everything we tried. We'd go back without hesitation. I hope they keep up the great work.

Definitely one of the best French Bakery in Queens area or even in NYC!! Everything was good!…read more Location: It is located around the corner of 39th avenue and bell boulevard. The restaurant/bakery is big with lot of seating. Great display of cakes, pastries and breads. Street parking is available. Service: the nicest people. Food: all of their cakes, pastries and breads aew amazing. But two of my favorites are: DUKE: definitely a must! Its chocolate cake with I believe a cookie crust inside. It comes in cubes so definitely easier to share. CRUNCHY: this is the very must!! It's chocolate mouse inside with layers of other chocolates. Plus with nuts on it. It's like a ferrero but bigger! Price rating: 7/10. It was not expensive a good cake. I always buy cake here for special occasions or even if I am craving cakes. Visit this, its worth it!

There was once where the cashier was not very intentive and their fridge was empty that we thought this location was going to close too and there was other times where there's two cashiers and they very intentive but overall the dessert itself is still good. Hopefully they won't close down.

I explained to the cashier that it was my first time here and looking forward to some shaved ice to take out. She recommended the Icy Grass Jelly Signature dish. While the employee was preparing my order, I reminded her "shaved ice, right?" I was extremely disappointed when I got home and tasted it. The shaved ice was virtually non-existent. Looking at the pictures in the menu (see attached photos) of the 2 signature dishes, I think she perhaps gave me the wrong dish. The taste of the grass jelly was totally insipid, utterly tasteless. As I always state, I take no pleasure in giving a neighborhood eatery a poor review, but I did not finish the dessert. However, this assessment is based on one dish. I'm a little wary - uhh, make that very apprehensive - but I may go back, maybe, with my brother and sister and try something else, perhaps a slushie. For now, 2 stars.

It's relaxed and easy-going, ideal for grabbing a coffee while you're out and about. Food: Their baked goods are the real star here--freshly baked onsite with a professional touch. The flavors are unique, making it a fun stop for something different. While the selection is on the smaller side, each item seems thoughtfully crafted. A few more savory options would be a welcome addition, though! Service: The service is quick and efficient. There's usually just one person behind the counter, but they handle things smoothly and get your order ready in no time. No long waits, which is great for a quick bite. Suggestions: A couple of high chairs would be a nice touch for families with little ones! Also, a few more savory items on the menu would be fantastic to round out the offerings. Overall: Overall, Somedays is a solid go-to for a quick coffee and pastry. It's a pleasant, no-fuss spot with delicious treats, and I'm excited to see what they add next. A great addition to the local scene!

I was first introduced to Martha's Country Bakery a few years ago when my family ordered the…read moreNapoleon cake for a relative's birthday. I was never the biggest fan of it, but I stopped in recently to pick up a slice to bring to that relative and I tried a slice of the apple crumb cheesecake which was delicious. You can choose to either sit down at a table or wait in line to place a take out order. I placed the Napoleon slice as a take out order and then enjoyed the cheesecake at the table. When I was done, I paid and they brought the Napoleon slice packed up in a bag. It is cozy inside, and there's a few tables. I saw some people working on their computers as well. I would def recommend stopping by!

There are Martha's Country Bakery stores all over NYC, but not all Martha's are created equal…read more This one in Bayside serves one of my favorite winter drinks, the White Hot Chocolate and it is not available at all Martha's locations. It is super sweet and even sweeter with whipped cream. It is unlike any hot chocolate I've ever had. Get it. For dessert, I like the Pineapple Shortcake, which is available at the Forest Hills Martha's, but not in Bayside. I thought I saw it once, but it turned out to be a Lemon Meringue cake. Instead, I'll go for a slice of Apple Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, Blue or Red Velvet cakes or the Oreo Mousse. If you would like to enjoy your cake and coffee in house, there is table service. There are plenty of 2 topper café tables, but if you have a bigger party, they will park a bunch of them together for you, if it's not too busy. If you get here before 8pm, tables are readily available, but it can get crowded as the evening progresses. We were surprised recently, when they sat 6 of us with no wait. They are open before the crack of dawn at 6am until 1am on Friday & Saturday nights. I imagine that the ovens never cool off and the bakers are there on the overnight shift to bake plenty of cakes ready for the next day. It's not unusual to still have a line to order out at 10-11pm and the display cases are still packed with cakes & pies.

I came here one evening as a spot to hang out with friends and it was chill. While Say Hi serves as…read morea tea house during the day, at night, they become more of a bar. 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.

Last time I went in for a grilled cheese sandwich which was also good. The cappuccino was subpar but the ambience and cleanliness of the bathroom made me want to come back. I will try their food next time! My only suggestion to the owner is to add all the items on the wall with their prices and in print as leaflets as well, so we can take home. Right now people spend a long time reading the traditional restaurant menu at the counter, which slows down everything. Lovely place to be back though!

I swung by to pick up a few of their tarts for my sister's birthday and they were delightful!…read moreThey're the perfect asian sweet - "not too sweet," and I love the modern and variety that they offered. Particularly, the yuzu one was my favorite as it was bright and citrusy while offering the right amount of sweetness as well. The toppings were creamy and smooth, and they had a fairly good crumble on the tart itself. Not really seeing too many other places put stuff out like this quite yet, so I'm glad they're filling this role in the community. Would definitely come back to try their other desserts as well as their coffee and tea drinks! This looks like a cute space to get a little work or reading done, but I didn't get to scope out if they have bathrooms/wifi/outlets yet.

So if you're someone who likes sweetness maybe request an add on. Nutella Croffule - such a good balance between a croissant and waffle. Not too sweet.
