    Bourbon Banana Cupcake Muffin with Chocolate Chips - The image features a close-up of a muffin with a golden-brown, crumbly crust and visible chocolate chips. The muffin is placed on a white paper wrapper, and the background includes a blurred electronic device with colorful lights. The focus is on the muffin, highlighting its texture and ingredients.

    Finally made it to this place, which is right around the corner for me and was not dissapointed. It's quaint and has a gift store type vibe in front. I already had coffee, so I went for a pastry and the cupcake muffins sounded so good! They also had a funfetti one, which I'll hopefully be able to try next time. I opted for a bourbon banana cupcake muffin and had a choice of with or without chocolate chips. I went with and it was delicious and inexpensive! Looking forward to going back!

    A business card for Sonbobs, a cafe that serves coffee, baked goods, and snacks, with a dark background and colorful floral and bird illustrations. The card displays the name 'Sonbobs' and the tagline 'Coffee, bits and bobs.' The design includes symmetrical floral patterns and two birds facing each other, creating a decorative and eye-catching appearance.

    I want to move into this cafe it's so calming and fun. The coffee is good and I didn't have a treat but they look delicious. The clothes, art and vintage items for sale are awesome as well. Super recommend!!

    Love this little coffee shop in Astoria near where my friends live. The owner is super sweet and the baked goods are amazing. I've tried both cupcakes and cookies from here before and the cupcakes are so damn fluffy and moist. Like the epitome of home-made fresh with love. They also serve beer and wine in addition to coffees and teas and sell various trinkets, jewelry etc. Definitely worth stopping by a fun little hole in the wall community spot.

    Various incredible cupcakes made fresh daily

    I have been in love with this neighborhood spot for years now. Sonny and Jess always have incredible food and drinks prepped for the day. There are fresh baked cupcakes, muffins, cookies, and sandwiches every day. Sometimes, they even make other special items that never cease to amaze me. I honestly have never been disappointed when coming here. It feels like home in many ways for they never forget your name or your order once you have been there a few times. I'm a regular now, and I have grown so fond of this community of Bobsters. If this is my Cheers, I find myself very lucky to be a part of such a loving and gracious place.

    So thanks to a new FB friend I heard about a very small coffee shop on 34th Street and 28th Avenue, (34-15 28th Avenue), which I had walked past many times, and probably because of its very low key physical profile, I had simply overlooked or missed. There is no visible awning that protrudes out into the street. Instead, it is very easy to miss the coffee shop and I was walking back and forth trying to identify the establishment. Finally, I saw the window display and walked inside. Sonbobs reminds me of an eclectic book store/antique store or tarot parlor with dangly curtains when you enter. I was due to meet a friend for coffee and she showed up after I arrived. Sonbobs is very small and has a limited number of food options. Nevertheless the ham sandwich was delicious and sandwiched on fresh hero with cheese. Afterward, we had lemon-flavored cupcakes The Ice coffee was just right. You get the option of two types of ice cubes, water or coffee cubes. There was no backyard seating that was visible to me. There are a couple of tables and chairs out front. I was planning to go to a grill across the street afterward, but the conversation with my new friend was so much more fun. Among our conversations was a discussion of the best places to eat in Astoria. -as you know by now that is very close to my heart, being a true foodie -covering the Astoria scene for nearly eleven years.

    This is DEFINITELY my new favorite cafe in Astoria. With its "cozy nook" vibe, good coffee and homemade desserts ($3.81 for coffee and cookie, I also got free refills!), this place is perfect for a low/key weekday morning getaway. Yay new super local spots! Shout-out to Sonnie the owner and Jessica for great service! It's more of a social space / curl up with a book space than a work space, but there is a bar for laptops in the back. There's WiFi, games, books, a Magic 8 Ball #throwback, and even merch! Get the drink card if you're gonna be a new loyal customer. Also, bathroom is clean. What more could you need?

    I've lived next door my whole life and and I've seen Stores open here come and go and I never felt to walk in not even curious! But FINALLY! Sonbobs opened! I walk in and just love the environment you don't feel any negativity at all you feel very relax. Merchandise for sell different kind of seating game boards games to play freshly bake goods. Ooolalala not one single complaint coming from me nope nope nope. I LOVE IT! I come in for a nice freshly squeezed lemonade. Almost everyday now so addicting and refreshing! I Introduce this play with friend and my brother we love it. Finally 28th ave have a wonderful chill spot where we don't need to worry about anything going wrong. LOOK AT THAT SHIRT. THAT IS ONE OF THE CUTEST SHIRTS SOMEONE CAN SELL.

    Coffee + free WiFi

    I love this neighborhood coffee shop! I usually go to coffee shops or co-working spaces on the weekends when I want to code, and I think I found my favorite! The owner lady is so nice and came to check on me occasionally to see if I need coffee refills. I sat with a friend and code for hours and it was really cozy, we had coffee (with almond milk), tea and her homemade chocolate malt balls! I'll come back :)

    Ice coffee with coffee ice cubes!

    Are there any vegan options?

    Sorry this took so long, yes I make vegan options from time to time. Often I will combine them with gluten free Friday but not always. If you call earlier in the week I will try to accommodate any requests. Shop number is 3475272217

    Do they serve oat milk?

    Sorry this took so long. Almond milk is the non dairy milk option. Every once in awhile I will have oat milk but not often enough to list it

    Yorkville, Upper East Side

    I visited Milanos this past Sunday evening with my boyfriend and his daughter for our dinner. We…read morewanted to try the viral chicken cesar wrap, and I wanted to try lit anything with mortadella. there was a line but it moved very quickly. there is so much to shop and look through. the by the lb food looked okay, half good half ehhhh. To make this short, the wrap sucked. no flavor, lacked seasoning, best part was the croutons. The worker made me a special sandwich, so idk the name bc I believe it was a custom, chicken cutlet, mortadella, burrata, arugula, roasted peppers, and balsamic. delicious!!! I would say. steer away from the viral, and make ur own sandy. bread was delicious. ingredients were fresh. I would go back for a chix vodka parm.

    Milano Sandwiches are Hands Down the Best as far as I'm concerned located on the upper East Side…read more They are HUGE and I can only eat half so it lasts me for two meals. My favorites are #11 The Padrino, which is breaded chicken, cutlet, fresh mozzarella, red peppers, mayo and balsamic vinaigrette on semolina brea I also like the #3 All-American sandwich which has roast beef, ham, turkey, swiss cheese, american cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a semolina hero. I always add mayonnaise too. My family have ordered many times for catering with 6 foot heroes and 3 foot heroes and sides and Milanos always makes everything perfect! I highly recommend! All of their food is exceptional! They have awesome catering specials during the holidays and Super Bowl too!
