    Almond butter toast
    Catherine M.

    Cold brew is so refreshing. The almond butter toast is so delicious. Staff welcoming. My go to stop when I have Dr. appointments across the street. Will be back.

    iced caramel latte
    Paula L.

    stopped in for an iced latte. And that's what I ordered. Small cute shop. And the coffee tasted really good. I would definitely try some other stuff from the menu if I had time and was hungry. If I'm ever in the neighborhood again I will definitely come back.

    Conveniently located coffee shop with some seats and some food offerings. Cute and clean inside. Some friends told me they started selling ube lattes so I called to confirm before heading over. The woman who answered said they do and that I could give her my order on the phone so that I wouldn't have to wait. I ordered a large ube latte, half sweet with soy milk. It is delicious! The espresso they use tastes great in it.

    a sandwich in a box and a drink
    Jason T.

    Ate here today for lunch by myself during my lunch break while working full time as a teacher assistant at The 30th Avenue School (Q300). I had brought and ate the turkey joy sandwich with iced cold raspberry tea. It was really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose a sandwich to try for the first time. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    Cold brew with oat milk
    Dana L.

    Such a cute spot and centrally located! Service is quick and friendly, and the decor and seating area is adorable. The cold brew is great - if you want milk, the barista adds your desired amount of milk and tops it off. They have interesting latte flavors (rose, lavendar) and an interesting food menu and I'd love to be back to try the peanut butter toast with condensed milk!

    Lavender latte and ginger peppermint tea

    Sip A Cup is literally located across the street from the Mount Sinai hospital. A part of me (the greedy part) felt that I almost don't want to mention this place aloud...but then again, the superego wins, and here I am. The lady who works at the front counter is super nice, and she recognizes me by face. I think I only visited like 3 times maybe 4. I love this place, and I can't wait for it to have indoor dining. I like the lavender latte. It's sweet, delicious, and creamy! Dreamy! I highly recommend it. They also use Oatly, my favorite Oatmilk in the world!

    With so many coffee shops in the area I decided to give this place a try. Got a hot spice pumpkin latte- comes with 2 shots espresso, it was very good, not too sweet and doesn't have that artificial taste. Like you get at Dunkin' Donuts. Slightly on the pricy side, $5.25+ for a small. Seating not available, 4 stars. I would come back again!

    Cold brew with soy milk and a shot of vanilla

    Cute cafe in Astoria. Right on the way to school. Their coffee and iced chai tea latte are favorites of mine. The coffee is strong. Although I wished there were more toppings on top of the avocado toast, it was nonetheless filling. This restaurant serves delicious Nutella Toast with bananas, making it perfect for people with a sweet tooth. The women who work there are nice and friendly. I've only ever placed phone orders for pick-ups, and each time, my orders were prepared for pickup. The service is prompt and efficient.

    NUTELLA banana toast yum
    Em F.

    Just discovered this place and it was worth those extra blocks from my house. If you find yourself in Astoria or live around here this place is a must. Especially if you love NUTELLA! There is two things on this menu. NUTELLA latte and banana NUTELLA toast. This is beyond what I expected. Not to mention they go above and beyond with their customer service.

    Very disappointed. They are still operating under pandemic conditions with limited hours and few if any coffees and munchies. I will not he back.

    cold brew, nutella toast with banana

    I love this coffee shop, I stop by here a lot in the morning and the staff there are very nice and remember my coffee order when I walk in. It's small on the inside but it's more of a on the go experience rather than sitting inside but it feels very cozy inside of this coffee shop. I sometimes order sandwiches from here and I never had an issue with my order being wrong or bad quality. Overall I highly recommend this place and I was able to bring them more customers because of my great service with Sip a Cup.

    Nutella latte
    Shirley Z.

    Good service Cute store The Nutella coffee wasn't too sweet but still had a hazelnut chocolatey flavor. Coffee was super smooth Give this place a try!

    Cold chai latte
    Ivy P.

    I love this place ! Their chai latte is great , the environment is chill and the wifi is fast. Most seats have power outlets to them. Would keep coming back

They have a table to pickup preorders so you don't have to wait in the main line. I ordered a dozen for $39. You can select your assortment. Here's my review in order from the best to the least desirable, according to our group. Vanilla custard- the filling was thick and speckled with vanilla beans. It wasn't too sweet. This was the best according to our group. Strawberry filled- this is most traditional and Breads Bakery does a nice job. The jam is homemade. Pistachio- this doughnut was filled with smooth pistachio cream and was topped with a few pieces of pistachio. Not traditional, but they did a good job. Chocolate- the filling tasted like a semisweet or bittersweet cream/custard. Like the others, it was smooth. The vanilla was more popular among our group and I personally didn't love this doughnut. Mango- this was the one that those in my group felt missed the mark. It wasn't cloyingly sweet, so that was good, but the filling didn't do anything for us either. If you're looking for a mango dessert the one at Lysée is a real winner.

Definitely a good neighborhood spot for those that aren't looking to spend their whole day in a coffee spot but instead are looking to grab and go.

    Let me tell you why this coffee shop stands above the rest:…read more 1. They use quality beans. I'm a home barista and use Oslo's beans for my americanos. When I moved to the UES, I was worried finding a new local roaster. I've had bad experiences where the beans are too oily or something is off that messes with my usually grind size/extraction time. No issues with Oslo's beans. 2. They actually know how to make a proper americano. Every coffee shop takes a standard cup, puts in the espresso shot, and then fills hot water to the brim of the cup. This destroys the flavor of the espresso. You end up with hot water that tastes slightly like coffee. Oslo chooses quality over quantity. They don't fill the water up to the brim, so you have a cup with 2/3 of liquid; however, this is a proper americano. You can taste the difference. At other shops, I just get drip coffee because they don't know what they're doing. Oslo knows what they're doing. That's why I come here.

We were a little late for our reservation, and they gave our table away, which was quite annoying. However, the service, hospitality, and food more than made up for it. Someone came over to apologize for the mix up and offered us complimentary white wine while we waited for another table to open up. The wine was delicious! When we were finally seated, we started with some drinks. I got the Speranza, and it was light, fresh, and delicious! We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary bread basket brought to the table, as it's a rarity in nyc these days. We split a burrata amongst the table. Loved the addition of figs. I ordered the rigatoni all'aragosta for my dish, which was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. There was a decent portion of lobster in the dish, and I couldn't even finish all of it, I was so full. One of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while. My friends ordered the bolognese and the fettuccine alla nerano, and they enjoyed their dishes as well! We skipped dessert this time, but I would definitely be back for it. I also want to try the paccheri next time, as well as their coffee shop in the mornings! Overall, a well executed restaurant with great ambience (would be great for a date night with the dim lighting and ability to hear each other speak). They just need to get a bigger dining room so they can seat more parties because they always seem to be booked full!

Unfortunately, it was totally bland and not large at all. The side sauce added nothing and over 30$ with tax/tip. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta and the guazzetto di Pesci. The pasta was good. Reasonable amount of pasta but we would have liked some more chunks of lobster for the price. I thought the sauce was only ok but my girlfriend liked it. The guazzetto di Pesci was only fair. The sauce was lacking flavor. Also a very small bowl of broth with maybe 3 small shrimp and muscles, a few small chunks of fish. and two sad, tiny pieces of bread on the side. Since we were still quite hungry after the meal, we ordered the lotus chocolate caramel dessert. This was the only dish we really liked. kinda hard to mess up gelato though. It came with a hard outer candy shell and a very small cookie center that was sweet and delicious. Overall, an average meal at best that we both felt was lacking in taste and size. Won't return.
