The barista said that she likes the blend also and she usually doesn't like decaf. This café is very tiny and easy to miss. Just off of the N/Broadway stop on a lively block of Vendy Award winning Palestinian falafel plates, OG "diner" Sanford's, bakeries, & Japanese Market nearby. I got the seasonal Orange Blossom Latte ($8) and it delicious. Got 1/2 1/2 (1 shot regular espresso & added 1 decaf) The syrup had a medium sweet - floral flavor and ($0 charge) oatmilk was medium creamy. The drink had a lot of berry / fruit undertones. I'm curious about their main location's tasting events because unlike companies that say their coffee, wine, tea have flavor profiles - this 2nd visit to kinship shows the work that goes into their product. (Hope their current wage & staff problems get sorted out..)

They have an assortment of sweet baked goods including cookies and savory goods like mini sandwiches. There are also cute coffee/espresso cup sets for sale and a large coffee beverage menu that I'll have to come back to sample. The pandebono was very good, chewy and moist, with just a tad too much oil for me but that's not uncommon given how much cheese goes into each one. Definitely one I wouldn't hesitate to buy again next time I'm nearby.

We got the Iced Freddo Cappuccino which was beautifully layered with strong espresso and creamy top layer. It could've used some slight sweetness but once it was well mixed, it tasted better. The Iced Banana Oat Latte was slightly disappointing because the banana was sour/bitter. I don't know if it was not as fresh or if that happened once it mixed with the espresso but it didn't come together well. It was creamy and the espresso was good but the bitter aftertaste made it unpleasant to finish. Decent try if you're looking for a cute cafe in the area!

One day, you're walking past this boarded-up, crack house that's been in shambles your whole life on the sketchier part of Astoria's Broadway, and often have running thoughts on how the hell this place was ever inhabitable and who the hell would ever buy this place. And the next thing you know, some investors and developers snatch up this land to knock said crack house down and spin it into a new apartment building with a clean coffee shop. This side of Astoria has always been rather underserved and overlooked, and there was a time when I could recite almost every business within these 2-3 blocks that didn't move. Besides the corner cafe that's been serving the community for ages, I'm glad to see dedicated coffee shops finally sprouting on this side because it needed one badly. The best part is that it's Greek-owned, which is a testament that Astoria's Greek presence is still very strong-- and I'm sure most of the Greek residents would continue to show out for its fellow Greeks. Coffee is always great, and it does very much feel like I'm in Greece at times--even those thin straws they use are literally the same ones they use in Greece. I've only gotten a lemon poppyseed loaf once and that was very filling.

Ordered: Iced Banana Latte (~$9)…read more Aya's take: Pueblo Querido is a Colombian coffee company that started in Brooklyn and this being their first location in Queens. The decor is fun and pays homage to Colombian culture which I appreciated. Their specials menu had an Iced Banana Latte which is totally up my alley so I decided to try it. I usually get a latte with a syrup and I assumed this was exactly that - a banana syrup. Unfortunately, it was more like a frappe where the espresso, banana, and milk was blended together. I think it's misleading to call it a latte as it wasn't what I was expecting. And for ~$9, I just expected more richness from the espresso but the milk was just overpowering. Even based on the appearance, it was very milky/foamy rather than coffee or banana-forward. If I find myself back here, I'll probably go for their classic coffees instead.

They serve my favorite coffee, Lavanzza and the desserts looked absolutely tempting. So, I scheduled a meeting there and arrived early to secure a good table. Finding parking was a bit of a challenge, but I managed to snag a spot nearby. However, as soon as I stepped inside, I realized the café had no air conditioning, and with the humidity hovering at 100%, it was a stifling day--around 89°F, with intermittent rain making the air even more muggy. It was incredibly uncomfortable. Although the café offered both indoor and outdoor seating, they had all the glass doors and windows wide open, which meant that whether you were seated inside or out, the heat was unbearable. I was grateful I had arrived early to assess the situation. When I asked a staff member if they typically kept the air conditioning off, hoping to gauge my future visits, she replied, "Well, everyone wants to sit outside; it's such a beautiful day." In reality, it was the farthest thing from beautiful--a day where staying indoors seemed like the only option. I found it hard to believe that a business like this wouldn't offer air-conditioned comfort for its patrons. Thankfully, I quickly searched for another café nearby, called them, and confirmed they had indoor seating with AC. I headed over to Moa, where it was refreshingly cool, with plenty of seating and, of course, fantastic coffee. Sometimes, a little detour leads to a much better experience! Maybe I'll try this place in the winter .

My affogato cost around $9-$10, and it was so refreshing--it really hit the spot.

The AC was good which was a great escape from the heat and humidity wave this summer in nyc. I came in around 10:30am and it was not crowded and seating was spaced out, with some plants in between and around the space, so you could have your own little pocket of space. I initially came in to try the iced matcha but also tried the pesto mozzarella egg breakfast sandwich. It was fine, but it sounds fancier than it was. The matcha was also ok. Unsweetened. The service was fine. I actually never been here after living nearby for so long, so I'm glad I stumbled in and discovered this little oasis on Steinway Street. Overall, I was not wowed by the food/ drink that I ordered, but the atmosphere made up for it. I would not have thought so from the outside, given it's right on Steinway, so I was pleasantly surprised, it was very relaxing and zen in this cafe. They had on peaceful music and the spacious interior with plants and juice bar vibe was very nice, like a wellness spot.
