While staying in Astoria my bestie and I decided to grab a coffee before hitting the Q to Manhattan. We stopped a lady on the street (since it was our first time in Astoria) and asked if there were any coffee shops that she recommended. She directed us to the OK Cafe, a new coffee shop which had apparently just opened a block down the street. Upon entering OK Cafe we were welcomed by a very friendly Barista. The place was fairly small but clean and hip. I was impressed by the assortment of milks they had, and some of their menu items peaked my curiosity (Popsicles anyone?). The latte that I ordered was heavenly, hands down the best coffee I have ever had, EVER! (So much so, I'm still talking about it!) the only complaint I have is that there sizes were too small, I wanted more! If you are in NYC, jump on the N or the Q and visit OK Cafe. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! I personally, can't wait to go back! read more

OK Cafe is the cafe I've been dreaming of. Tin ceiling? Check. Paisley wallpaper? Check. Friendly staff? Check. There's wifi and Mexican hot chocolate. Check check check! read more

Cute almost- (but slightly bigger than a) hole-in-the-wall cafe just a few blocks from the Ditmars-Astoria stop off the N/Q. Coffee is a tad overpriced, but when is it not? Drinks were unique, in a good way. My only quibble with the place is that the benches are so much higher than the chairs that if you happen to be sitting on the inside you look as if you're towering above the person across from you. Would definitely come back! read more

This new-ish coffee bar deserves the 5 stars. High quality coffee beans, high tech brewing equipment, and delicious pastries are just part of the reason. This is the ONLY place in Astoria that makes a MEXICAN mocha latte. Yummy and spicy! The closest other place is Brooklyn Bagel but theirs is a mexican hot chocolate. Not the same thing! And what really blew me away is that after coming here religiously once a week for at least 3 months, one of the nice baristas offered me a punch card with a whole bunch of punches for the times I hadn't had one to use. She didn't have to even offer me the card, but that she did with the punches, was exceptionally nice. Don't come here expecting to hog the wifi and do much work. There's just a few small tables. read more

I went here for their famous coffee popsicle. And the trip was just worth it. The popsicle had just the perfect sweetness and coffee levels to it. Would definitely recommend the coffee popsicle to everyone. Specially good for those hot NY afternoons. read more

OK Cafe - Coffee popsicle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Astoria, New York

Again and again, this is my favorite coffee shop in the world. Perfect as usual. I'll tell you why... When you walk in there is usual 1 of 2 very nice gentlemen/baristas who are more than willing to give you the best service. That is: recommendations of which pastry will balance the taste of your coffee, or which coffee may suite your taste, or just being awesome to chat with!! Sometimes, I believe it is the owner, is also there. She's so bright and cheery and just makes your morning that much more beautiful! :) More reasons why it's my favorite... They serve you good wholesome items. Organic products are used and there are more choices than just milk. Almond milk( and I think they have soy, but personally I stay away from soy, so I'm not 100% positive.) Freshly baked goods! I love it! They have these homemade pop tarts that are bangin'! I definitely recommend any of the many flavors they offer. I've tried all of them. Lastly, they are small and cute. Personally, I love this atmosphere as well. There are usually only a few people at a time inside and it's just a cute cozy little place. It has kind of a homey feel. :) My favorite drink is the maple almond latte with the blueberry pop tart. I'll take a picture someday... Usually I gobble it right up, but next time I'll try really hard not to, lol. Peace and love! read more

my favorite coffee spot in astoria. I go there to get my coffee beans for my french press at home, to satisfy my soy latte cravings and to show off my awesome neighborhood to friends out of town. all the staff are very friendly, always very helpful and responsive :) I love you guys, keep up the good work ! read more

This little cafe is so cute and their cold brew is phenomenal. I love that it's owner operated - don't let corporate (like cafe bene opening around the corner) take all the love and originality out of astoria. Everyone who works here is super friendly - they have a customer loyalty card - every ten drinks earns you a free drink, the milk is organic and the coffee high quality. So pleased that this little joint has come to my hood. read more

This place is adorable! It's a tiny little coffee shop and the guy there really knows his coffee! I love supporting locals vs Starbucks and Dunkin. There are only about 8 seats so definitely more of a grab and go place. Nice selection of not only coffee, but hot chocolate too. They also sell a few pastries. It's definitely worth checking out if you live in the neighborhood. read more

The coffee soda is delicious and refreshing on a hot day. Tastes like a cocktail. New Orleans cold brew and espresso drinks are also really good. Friendly baristas and good snacks. read more

I really enjoyed my recent cortado here. It's a lovely, cozy little place with an atmospheric tin ceiling and excellent coffees. For a long time, this corner of Astoria didn't have high quality coffee. Then Astoria Coffee and bagel house showed up; but the new arrivals, OK Cafe and 40 beans, have raised the game to new levels. I'm delighted to see these folks here, and I hope they succeed. If I still lived in Queens, I could imagine curling up in here with a few coffees and a suitably pretentious book. Maybe french philosophy, even though I don't really read such things anymore. It's that kind of place, but in a good way. read more

After paying $12 for a latte and a sandwich I was told I was not allowed to read my Kindle because it counted as an electronic device and there were no electronics on Saturday or Sunday. This policy is only put on the tables so you do not know that when you order. The place was completely dead. While I was waiting for my sandwich I thought someone come in and leave because she was not allowed to study. Since all of my books are on Kindle, I had no choice but to take my overpriced coffee tea and sandwich to go and try to find a place to read. It is no wonder this place was completely empty. I would not be shocked if it shut down soon and was replaced by a more accommodating coffee shop. Please do not make my mistake and go to this horribly unfriendly locale. read more

Awesome coffee, snacks, employees, and cafe owners. This small coffee shop always delivers and I really appreciate that the owners are from the community and are committed to the hood. read more

I've updated my review of OK Cafe. It's probably one of my favorite cups of coffee in all of Astoria. Yes there are other options, but this place is just perfect. The staff is amazingly kind, the coffee is wonderful, have not tried the food yet though! Do yourself a favor and pop in the next time you're close by. AND, in the summer, have their Iced Coffee (Kyoto) - holy jet fuel. read more

Great new little cafe! Had the chai tea latte and almond croissant and both were very good! read more

Best coffee ever ! It's so good ! They should open another one. It's a bit tight in there so I get my breakfast to go . I can't wait to try their brunch menu! the people who work there are the best!!!!!!! always polite and quick on their feet read more

This is a small, cute cafe with yummy drinks. The drinks are only 1 size. I had the lavendar early grey and it was delicious. They also had some gluten-free cookies. The baristas were friendly and explained the different drinks to my husband. The inside is small and cozy. The signs outside were catch and funny. We walked by it in our way to lunch and came back after we ate to warm up with hot drinks. read more

I took a lactaid in preparation of trying their Magic 8 ball. Made with chicory coldbrew and brown sugar syrup, I'd been afraid that this would be too strong and sweet. It was neither. The heavy cream in this performed it's balancing act perfectly, cutting the bite of the chicory coldbrew; it was sweetened just enough to make this silky beverage that much easier to slip down my throat. read more

The most delicious and healthy brunch comes from their tiny kitchen! I love this place. It is so cute and cozy. It always makes me feel like home. It's my favorite coffee shop in Astoria, I am lucky it is located close to me :) thank you guys for making my Saturdays so sunny and joyful read more

OK Cafe - Two eyed toast delish!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Astoria, New York

Delicious! Had a cortado and a plain croissant. So glad they had non-dairy options. I had oat milk with my espresso. I sat outside on a bench that is a part of the shop, and it was just lovely. Would definitely come back! read more

Have lived across the street for years and used to love this place. It has been declining slowly and I've given it many tries in the last few months but it is officially the most overpriced tea in town with the rudest employees. They have ruined my day more than once with their aggressive attitudes and I am finally writing them off after today. Plenty of other reasonably priced cafes with kinder employees. read more

I thought the lemonade/iced tea arnold palmer type thing was a tad sweet but it's a really nice space and a nice place to get a bit of work done. I find it kind of annoying how many coffee shops in NYC don't really make it easy to do work considering how small a lot of the apartments in town are but at OK Cafe they turn the wifi on during the weekdays and off during the weekends which I think is a fair compromise. read more

Love the music and decor. My first visit I tried the Chai latte. Today I tried the Lavender London fog. Both were great. I wish this was in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. read more

This is my new favorite coffee shop. The coffee is strong, good and of high quality. The baristas are all super friendly and they really know their coffee. I am obsessed with their "Teddy Bear Financier." Those little-darn-cute-scrumptious things! read more

Such a cute and cozy coffee place! I ordered their cappuchino ! Nice , strong and hot! Just the way I like it! read more

OK Cafe - Nice and strong! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Astoria, New York

Came here on a sleepy Monday morning for a coffee jolt before getting into some serious work - very impressed! Small, cute, and friendly! So refreshing to have an intimate coffee shop in the area away from the prefab, huge coffee-study joints. Barista was super friendly, was happy to explain the drink menu to me. The cheddar and chive biscuit was very yummy and surprisingly spicy and the ice coffee was on point! To top it off, they're community oriented! They were involved in a kids "Where's Waldo" hunt when I came in! The barista was incredibly adorable helping the kids out and made them feel special for playing the game. 5 stars for a small neighborhood vibe and overall adorableness! read more

Tiny. Great coffee, great yogurt parfaits. Solid prices. Best coffee I've had in Astoria. read more

Best coffee in Astoria! Highly recommended! Nice people. Served fast! Cappuccino is amazing! read more

Cute and nicely decorated, but visited for the first and last time after being the only person in there and being told that I could no longer use the wifi because my 45 minutes had passed. Very rude and unnecessary, especially when I'd just spent $5 on an iced tea- and it was totally empty at the time!!!! The owners clearly don't understand customer service. I live nearby and would have been a regular if not for this ridiculous interaction. read more

This is my favorite café place in Asoria/ Ditmars. I live here more than six months now but somehow this place flew below my radar. I ordered the Mexican spice latte which was delicious, and chicken empanadas which was baked- a rare commodity among the fried ones in every other spot. The staff were friendly and the place is cozy and nicely decorated. Will definitely come back to try the other delicious looking snacks and coffee options. read more

Love this place! I always get a cold brew and most of the time a quiche. Everytime I get a good buzz from their coffee that gets me motivated to be productive in my day. Quiches are delicious and consistently good. Such a nice atmosphere and staff is always nice. So far this is my favorite cafe in Astoria. read more

Moved right upstairs from OK in March and am so thrilled to have this quaint, delicious coffee shop right downstairs from me. I work on Long Island, so it's wonderful having my first stop here in the morning before my long commute. The maple almond latte, matcha latte, and almond croissants are my go-to items, but there is always so much to choose from. The staff are super friendly and I consistently witness regulars strolling in each morning. The staff is great at remembering what drinks you like and are very accommodating. The punch card is a great addition as well. If you want quality coffee and delicious treats, OK Cafe is the place to be! :) read more

Excellent coffee and tea. Super friendly staff who recognize you when you come in. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. You won't be sorry. Try the Kyoto - it's amazing!! read more

Nice little place with a great ambience, friendly staff and great coffee. Highly recommended! read more

Oh yes now I remember why I don't come here. Because the coffee is good I occasionally forget and I wander in by mistake. But when I ask for light ice in my iced coffee they will refuse or they will only fill the cup up part way. Even after I point out it says 16oz directly under the price on the board, which means legally I am allowed the 16oz of coffee as advertised. But they seem comfortable with their false advertising so rather than spend my time complaining to the better business bureau I will just sit here and write a bad review using their wifi and try to remember not to come here in future. read more

I went in for a coffee early (9AM) Sunday morning. The cafe was empty, and I took out my computer to prepare work for the week. I wasn't using the cafe's wifi, and I set my phone timer for 1 hour, but the Greek woman running the cafe kicked me out right away. She said she didn't allow laptop computers and that Starbucks was the place for me. When I showed her the timer and told her I'd be out before brunch, she said to get out. I told her I would leave a review of the experience on Yelp, and she said she didn't care and that the customers she wants don't care about Yelp reviews. This is my third time at the cafe on a Sunday. The past two times I used my computer to do work. I will not be returning, and I encourage customers to visit a more welcoming cafe like NYCBCH on 23rd where the there are no grumpy old ladies on staff. read more

I love small business coffee shops and refuse to support chains like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts (judging all of you on Ditmars that have all these coffee options and still go to chains -_-) I was excited to try this place and I will say the staff/baristas were great and really kind. I was very disappointed with their signature Lattes.. it was overpriced for the quality I received. I have been to Queens Room and the new Qwns coffee shop and have to say their Mochas and Lattes are just higher quality and consistent. read more

I was excited to see a cute little coffee shop pop up on Ditmars so a friend and I decided to get some work done on Labor Day. Bad idea. Computers are not allowed on Saturdays and Sundays and any other day, there is a 45 minute limit for screen time. I would understand if the place was super busy, but we were the only customers in the store and when I pulled out my laptop, the female barista angrily said 'only 45 minutes!' What was most disappointing though is that ten seconds after my friend sat down and started to get her stuff out of her bag (I was already seated, coffee and pastry in hand), the barista barked 'you need to order something!' before my friend even had a chance to get settled. Terrible customer service. Which is a shame because my cold brew and homemade poptart were delicious. We'll be going elsewhere from now on. read more

Really liked this little coffee shop until today. I was in here with two friends and our children after school, around 3 pm. The kids are young (3.5 year olds) and they were excited for hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. When we first walked in the kids were talking in raised voices which we addressed, and it took a few minutes to get settled. Once we were all sitting, 3 little kids enjoying hot chocolate and 3 moms talking and catching up with each other, an employee came over and told us we needed to keep it down because "people are trying to work". Our kids were seated, not disturbing anyone. There were only 2 other customers. OK Cafe should display a sign that says No Children Allowed. I sense that this is their unofficial policy but they lack the nerve to step up and say it directly. Instead, they essentially kick paying customers out of their nearly empty establishment AFTER taking money for three hot chocolates and two coffees. Parents, stay away, you are not welcome. OK Cafe, step up and take responsibility for your prejudices. read more
