    I had a most wonderful and peaceful breakfast by myself at Ricky's cafe while the rest of my family shopped around the neighborhood. I ordered a western omelet with rye toast (my usual) and hot coffee. My server could not have been nicer. I apologized for needing to make a couple of phone calls while I was there and he said there was no need. There was an older gentleman who entered, seemed like he had fallen on some tough times. He ordered a bowl of soup and was kind of agitated, but eventually settled down. When I went to pay for myself, I offered to pay for the older man as well, but they waved me off and let me know they had already covered it. How kind! I ended up having a long conversation with the owner, she though she recognized me, but I was not who she thought I was. I left wishing I lived closer, if so, I would 100% be a Ricky's regular.

    Grilled Steak Salad

    Ricky's gets it right EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Best grilled steak salad EVER!!! The dressing, the goat cheese, the crispy fried onions over the fresh arugula and grape tomatoes....pure heaven!! The steak is even perfectly seasoned and tender!!! Go order it...it never disappoints. Chapeau to the chef!!

    Spicy Buffalo Wings

    Great Happy Hour & Wings for the area. The guy serving was incredibly nice and welcoming. Honestly these wings took me back to my high school days. Never thought I would be able to taste wings like these again. I definitely will be back for the wings. Get the sauce on the side!

    Upon walking in a busy Saturday morning, the waitresses were reluctant to seat my parents and I. My father lost his cool after being ignored for what seemed like ten minutes. We noticed another Hispanic couple being dubbed while the white customers were treated first. Kinda sucked seeing that especially in Jackson heights... but whatever. The food was delicious diner breakfast food. It's less greasy than other options around queens and the portions are smaller for sure. The toast came already buttered for anyone that cares about toast customization. The coffee according to my mother was "real coffee" and the home fries were sooo yummy. Ima come back regardless of their slow service.

    I came here for a quick breakfast the other morning. The location is great, as I live just a block away and it is situated just a few blocks away from the 74th St Jackson Heights train station. I ordered a very basic breakfast of eggs with bacon. the order came with a home fries, a choice of toast, coffee/tea, and juice. It was plenty of food for a reasonably priced breakfast special. The staff was friendly and using straws and paper cups to cut down on cross contamination with Covid-19. I will certainly come back for breakfast or lunch soon.

    Around here there is only street parking so make sure to come by train if possible. This place is a dinner like at the corner and the staff is very friendly. We sat here drank coffe and our waitress was awesome. She did not bother us making us order things. she only told us to make sure to call her when we ready, and that is great cause we took our time. Tuna melt- I got it with dinner roll and a cheddar cheese. Amazed with the taste. The food here was pretty good. this is a very nice meal. I will come back to have it again. I do have to say that they took a little long to bring the food and it was a little cooler when it got to the table. So the biggest negative to me was the food not being as warm as I hoped but besides that it was a great place to come a chill, drink some coffee and not worry about a crazy waiter trying to flip the tables. I will come back again for sure.

    Ricky's Steak Sandwich - must try.
    Kabir A.

    This place still holds it down in town! Came here for Tuesday bfast. We ordered - Lemon ginger tea T. Sausage egg & cheese croissant sandwich Steak & eggs w/potatoe Croissant fluffy yet crispy, sausage of choice not too salty and flavorful. Even with the cheese everything tasted "clean" and not greasy. Steak was done medium the way it should have been and eggs tasted fresh. Tea was just the hint of zen needed to make this meal on point. Staff still friendly and helpful as always. Thank you for making our Tuesday morning and a great start to a short road trip! "This is a plate worth licking"

    SOGGY NACHOS.  WITH NO CHEDDAR CHEESE   NO JALAPEÑOS.     SHE GAVE ME CILANTRO          TERRIBLE
    Yvette C.

    The nachos are soggy and no jalapeños on them. The salad isn't fresh. And they put anchovies in the salad with no knowledge. I will never order from this place again.

    Friendly service. While the cook needs help on weekends, the food is decent and meets expectations. Reasonably priced.

    Horrible service, wait times are ridiculous and the food is mediocre. When will Jackson Heights get a decent breakfast option?

I originally wanted to try their persimmon matcha, but sadly it wasn't available when I went since it's a seasonal drink. Ended up trying the strawberry matcha instead and wow... it was so good. The in-house strawberry syrup was fantastic and tasted fresh without being overly sweet or artificial. You can also tell they use quality matcha because the flavor really comes through. It had a strong matcha taste without crossing into bitterness, and the balance between the earthy matcha and sweet strawberry was super well done. Not too sweet, not too bitter! Just really smooth and balanced overall. Definitely understand why this place gets so much love on social media. Excited to come back and hopefully try the persimmon matcha next season.

I've noticed that this cafe has a good stream of people always coming in. You do have to wait a bit for your order because they bulk prepare their orders. But, it's definitely worth a try. I personally got to try the strawberry matcha. The matcha flavor was good. As for the strawberry bottom, it was more jam-y than I expected. It was the exact taste of strawberry jam that you would put on a toast than pure crushed strawberries. Although this particular one isn't my preferred strawberry matcha, I think some people would enjoy it. I did like the sweetness that came from it.

It's super Instagrammable, I love the seats situated within the heart and all of the flowers and greenery in this place. There are a few limited food options, but overall this is a cafe that also serves beer and wine (and the occasional frose, yay). Almost all of the times I've been in here (save for this last time) service is fast and friendly - but on my last visit the guy seemed like he was struggling to get orders out and keep the line moving. There were two folks ahead of me and the first one had multiple orders, so I figured there'd be a bit of a wait. Around 15 minutes later or so it was my turn to order, and I asked about the teas. The iced options were either sweetened with caffeine, or unsweetened without caffeine - I'd been hoping for something iced and unsweetened. When I asked about green tea he said he had none made, but didn't offer making it for me as an option. We awkwardly stood there for a few moments more as I waited to see if he might say this was something he could do. Eventually I cut my losses and said thanks anyway.
