I got a snickerdoodle oatmilk latte o it was DELICIOUS. I got 2 birthday macaroons & a creme brulee which was also good. Everything I had was great and would certainly go back.

I was in the area and decided to give them a try and I'm glad I did. There was only one staff member (a gentleman) working when I went in but he was super friendly, polite, and attentive. He even frothed the creamer for my hot coffee. I received my coffee, walked over to the small seating area available and noticed their wide selection of coffee beans just waiting to be grinded. The staff member noticed almost immediately and asked if I needed any help. Overall my experience was pleasant and I love the idea that I could get a decent cup of coffee while shopping for some groceries.

The breakfast croissants are made daily and they do not disappoint. They're buttery, flaky and depending on which one you get, so cheesy! I'm also a sucker for the brownies and cookies because who wouldn't be?! The service is absolutely amazing and always so welcoming when I stop by. I can't say enough good things about The Avenue Cafe!

I found my new coffee spot for whenever I'm in the area now! I had this place bookmarked for a…read morewhile now but because of the cold weather lately and parking being extremely limited in this area, I didn't get a chance to check it out until this week. Jamaica Ave is known to locals of Jamaica Queens as "The Ave" so I thought that naming this place "The Avenue Cafe" was a really nice touch. The Avenue Cafe is definitely a hidden gem. I believe the small number of reviews is primarily due to its location. Tucked away in a food court which could only be accessed through an alley on Jamaica Ave or a side street (160th St), this cafe was not easy to find. Although the food court it is located in is no-frills, The Avenue Cafe actually put effort in establishing an inviting aesthetic that made me feel no different than if I were walking in my usual cafes in the city and I really liked that. The staff were courteous and they make your order quick! Best of all, they take card and Apple Pay (I didn't have cash on me that day and I was aware that just about every stall in that food court is Cash-Only). I only had their cold brew thus far but I'll absolutely be back to try the other items on the menu.

The term "Paris Syndrome" describes a psychological state of severe shock experienced by tourists…read more(in particular, first time visitors to Paris) who suffer immense disappointment from unmet expectations. Taste of Paris is not actually that bad. But it is pretty weird. The vibe is less Parisian cafe than hostile architecture. For one thing, there's a hole in the ceiling. It is not small. It's basically an entire missing ceiling tile. Like, there may be some kind of repair project or remodel going on? For another thing, it's rather dark for a coffee shop. It's dimly lit with very little natural light. And the walls seem green screen ready. Jarringly sparse but would make a great Teams background. All that said, the coffee is decent. I ordered off menu. A flat white, no sugar, no syrup. And it was solid. Which, in sum, leaves me at three stars. Two or below if you're drinking in, but maybe four if you're grabbing to go.

Taste of Paris Coffee House (Floral Park) is one of those secret spot places -- a true…read morehole-in-the-wall, diamond in the rough that you'll drive past a hundred times and then wonder how you ever lived without it. Small shop, big payoff -- quick, clean, and the drinks come out looking like they belong in a photoshoot (the can-style iced coffees are a vibe). Gov's take: the Crème Brûlée Latte is the star. Smooth, dessert-like without being sugary, and it keeps that espresso backbone. The iced coffee/cold brew is strong, cold, and actually tastes like coffee (not melted ice and regret). Menu is easy to scan and they've got a solid lineup of flavors, plus grab-and-go energy that's perfect when you're passing through Hillside. Only knock: it's tight inside and parking can be annoying depending on the time. Rating: 4.5/5 -- I'm coming back, and I'm bringing a friend who "doesn't like coffee."

There were lots of people just on their laptops enjoying a drink or pastry. I tried a pot of the Azal Signature and it was a little sweeter than I liked. The sesame seeds added a nice nutty kick to it. I also got the Pistachio Waffle, which was a bit disappointing because it wasn't as light and fluffy as I would've liked it. It was a bit tough to cut through and eat. The place is very Instagrammable--there's even a fake tree right in the middle of the café--but personally, I think I prefer just a normal café with regular coffee. Azal Signature (roast coffee, coffee husks, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, sesame, and cream) 8/10 Pistachio Waffle 6/10

Sucks that nothing is labeled & doesn't have the ingredients listed, so we'd know what to order & what to avoid. 2/5 Pistachio milkshake- they ran outta pistachio the 1st time I went, so they gave me an extremely sweet, plain milkshake 2/5 Raspberry tart- Prolly the worst I've ever had, too thick & too sweet. I was expecting a tart like the ones from Korean bakeries like PB or Tous les jours, what is this? 2/5 pear & orange- both are disgustingly sweet due to the white chocolate shell, wouldn't have gotten it if I knew it was white chocolate, interior is fine, creamy & mousse, there's fruit in the middle 4/5 Strawberry- really good, soft exterior, not white chocolate thank God 2/5 pistachio NY roll $6- made the mistake of ordering this on the machine, didn't expect a croissant, thought it was gonna be like a Swiss roll, pistachio icicing? Butter? On top is disgustingly sweet 4/5 Iced banana bread breve latte $8 w/ whipped cream- idk if this is banana bread flavored but it def is banana flavored, nice & strong 5/5 pesto tomato cheese danish $8- love anything with pesto & cheese, so damn good

We were on the hunt for a place in flushing that we can go to and not have to rush for seats. Grey cafe is not too far from here but it's always been packed. I love that this place is cute, has Ube drinks that actually taste like Ube (Filipino girlie here)- don't go to Starbucks. Free WiFi, specialty drinks for the win, pastries. It would had been great if there was multiple print copies of the menu so that it doesn't get congested at the register. There is no menu on the wall so I did felt a bit rushed and pressured since it's my first time there as I didn't know what to get.
