    This was a cute gem that we stumbled across after dinner. It's in a sub-basement so you need to go down one level. The spot is cozy with a decent amount of seating and was fairly busy when we got there. The woman who took our order was very sweet and friendly. The menu has a good variety of options, and the prices are pretty good. We tried the Matcha Red Bean Bingsu and OD Toast with a mix of pandan and thai tea. The bingsu was pretty good and the portion was decent. I love that it wasn't super sweet even after I poured the matcha drizzle. The OD toast was really great and so delicious! The pandan and thai tea oozed out and went well with the vanilla ice cream and bits of cereal. This wasn't sweet either, making it a great dessert that doesn't leave you with sugar overload. Overall, this is a nice spot with some great dessert options, include slushies, bubble tea, and other goodies. It's a bit snug but it's worth a visit if you're in the area and craving some good dessert!

    Good bingsoo, and great amount for the price - can be shared by ~4-5 people and the total was $15! The mango bingsoo was great! Hits the spot after a yummy meal in the neighborhood! Cash only

    Peach Bingsu

    I remember first coming here in 2019, and now coming again in 2023, the place looks very similar to what I remembered. The toast was even better than I remember actually, with a crispy toast. So delicious. Loved the pandan filling. There was ice cream and whipped cream on the side too, but didn't use too much of the whipped cream. The ice cream dipped with pandan was yum. Ambiance was very cozy, with light music playing in the background, and decent seating for its tight space. The owner is the sweetest as well. I'm sure I'll be back again.

    Cute little dessert shop tucked away in the basement! It's a really small and intimate space so it might be a wait on a Friday or Saturday night. They have really great desserts and drinks. My favorite is definitely the OD toast in both the pandan and Thai tea flavor. The toast is crunch on the outside and soft on the inside, with oozy warm filling. The flavor was very strong for both and I really enjoyed pairing it with the creamy vanilla ice cream. The major downside is that there isn't too much of a service and I have to seat myself. The staff is always super busy so I often have to wait a while to flag someone down. It's a sit down place so tip is required and it's CASH ONLY.

    Mango Slush (no caffeine) and something strawberry

    This place is somewhat concealed and can be found in the basement. The space is quite cozy and would be perfect for couples or smaller groups. I had a great experience with their bingsu, and decided to switch things up on my recent visit by trying their mix mountain with boba on top, which turned out to be fantastic! Highly recommended.

    Lychee Bingsu, thai tea bingsu, Sweet Layers Choco
    Sisi A.

    Keep an eye out for this cozy dessert spot located on the basement level below an izakaya. They have a varied selection of bingsu and dessert toasts, as well as some other treats. What I really liked was that they had bingsu flavors I hadn't seen in NYC before, like lychee, peach, and milo. We split the lychee bingsu, thai tea bingsu, and the choco sweet layers dessert among 5 people. The lychee bingsu was super fresh and flavorful, and the other desserts had a lot of toppings like boba and coffee jelly. The place is small abd can get crowded but if you can grab a table, def recommend coming here especially after a spicy dinner!

    Came here on a Wednesday night and it was the amazing. Limited seating but it was worth making the trip. I ordered the strawberry layers ($8) and the pandan od toast ($12) As I was enjoying the pandan toast, I kid you not, I was about to order a second one! It was so crispy, fluffy and not too sweet. Very balanced! Highly highly recommend. I will be back within the next two weeks for sure. The strawberry lawyer drink was classic bingsu in a cup with rainbow jelly (the one you find in bubble tea). Pretty standards, but did not disappoint. There was only one lady running the shop, which I assume was the owner. She was very friendly and made every dessert very beautiful. The shop itself was a bit difficult to find. In the basement, with steep steps, limited seating, and small store front. But don't let that discourage you! You need to make a trip here to try the od toast!!

    Lychee bingsu - canned fruit over unflavored shaved ice with evaporated milk drizzle. Disappointed!
    Holly C.

    Coming back from Hawaii I decided to find a shaved ice place here in NY.. this place is hidden in the lower level with a tight and narrow staircase. The lychee bingsu - extremely unsatisfied with the lychee fruit they put in bc it comes from a can instead of utilizing real fruits. All of these fruits seemed to be from canned goods and stored in their mini fridge for quite some time. There is absolutely no flavor in the ice. I'm left with eating plain ice and the drizzle of evaporated milk. Yuck! Sweet Strawberry Layer - looks good but doesn't taste good. It's all strawberry syrup with fruit jelly and shaved ice in between. There's a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top - taste very generic. They could've used a better flavored vanilla ice cream brabs with the amount they are charging for each of these cups! $8.50 and I couldn't get a decent scoop of vanilla ice cream. They should use fresh fruits for each shaved ice. There are no dates on those containers, so you don't even know how long it's been stored there.

    Mango Bingsu
    Sally W.

    Solid dessert place in the area that's under ground. Although the cafe is small, it can seat quite a few 2-3 people parties; I wouldn't recommend large groups going. My friends and I shared the mango shaved ice and the shaved ice was phenomenal - so fluffy and creamy; not icy at all. Loved it and will be back!

    Lychee Bingsu
    Anna T.

    One of my friends brought me here because it has great reviews. We had the pandan toast, the brown sugar milk tea, a mango slush, and the lychee bingsu. I love bingsu, but usually never order it because they always seem to come in such large portions. I love that they put the condensed milk on the side, as I tend to prefer the condensed milk on the lighter side. I have to admit that when it first came out I thought it looked a lot like sea scallops on a bed of ice, but it was so good, I can't believe we finished it all. There were so many lychee, and at the bottom they had the clear lychee jelly bubbles that burst.

    Pandan Toast
    Tiffany L.

    Hole in the wall cafe on the basement level of Izakaya fuku. Great service and amazing desserts! Space is small but we didn't have to wait for a table on Saturday night. Definitely get the pandan toast lychee bingsu!

    pandan and thai tea honey toast
    Evelyn N.

    Came here on a whim after an omakase dinner next door. We needed some dessert to top our sushi dinner and I am glad we came. We order the Thai tea & pandan toast/bread, passionfruit green tea, and classify bubble tea. All were super yummy and satisfied our sweet tooth. It's a little cramped inside but also cozy? Will definitely be back for more dessert runs.

    OD Toast
    Anthony P.

    More like 3.5; Cute little place that you have to walk downstairs to find. Jackson heights definitely benefits from an asian dessert place and overall bingsoo was really good, fluffy and creamy. The signature OD Toast was good but not mind-blowing MANGO BINGSOO Refreshingly, light, not too sweet, and again the ice is SO creamy. What i love is that they give you the syrup on the side so you can decide how much you want to use for your taste buds. VOLCANO BINGSOO This was really delicious too because they crushed up oreos/ chocolate chip cookies and dusted it with milo powder and have a really delicious and not saccharine chocolate syrup that goes over it. This one I liked more than the mango one just cause you get more of a mix of textures, esp with the frosted flakes sprinkled over top. I love a crunch and the syrup itself wasn't too sweet which i liked. OD TOAST Their signature item that I was excited to try. It's essentially a column of golden toast filled with either pandan or thai tea filling. The filling itself is injected into the toast and it's a cool concept; the flavors of the filling were pretty good and the thai tea had some coconut flavoring as well. I wish the texture was more melty and less runny though, like a custard, because it runs out of one side of the toast and doesn't necessarily stay in the bread. BLUE MOUNTAIN COFFEE SLUSH A pretty standard coffee flavored slush but they did a good job not making it too sweet so the coffee flavor stands out and remains on the bolder side. The ice wasn't super well blended with the rest of the drink so you do get bits of just ice randomly and it's not a smooth homogeneous slush, per se.

    Located on one fo the sleepiest corners along Ditmars, Layers Bakeshop has made a name for itself…read morefor being one of the only late night dessert options in Astoria. Folks who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth can score a cupcake, pastries and all of the above until midnight every night. While they utilize the natural lighting during the daytime, the evening is drowned out by this florescent lighting that makes me less interested in dining in. There is plenty of seating but just as awkward as the lighting is also the lukewarm service. It was like a late trip to the office, where the lighting was still on and not-so-theolled colleagues there to greet us. Thankfully their dessert selection is always on point. Their endless variety of cupcakes range from red velvet to biscoff and their custom cakes are impressive as well. True to their name, the "layered" sundaes are a perfect "dessert in a cup" option. Nutella and lotus are popular ones but the galaxy is the one to get. I've been told the brownies and donuts are also good, but I will reserve that for my next (late night) visit.

    A friend ordered assorted cupcakes for delivery for a holiday get together, and in the spirit of…read morethe season we cut up each cupcake and shared so we each got to try several different flavors. There were 12 different cupcakes, almost the entire cupcake assortment. Visually they are mostly similar though maybe not the most aesthetically appealing with a single swirl of frosting and some messy zigzags or cookie crumbs on top. They definitely tasted better than they looked. Inside the cake crumb was moist and the frosting on top was fluffy and super smooth. Even as someone who's not a huge fan of frosting, the texture was so creamy and light that I ate most of it! Added comments for the ones I tried: - salted caramel : could taste the salted caramel clearly in the frosting, less in the cake - key lime : lime/citrus flavor wasn't very strong on this - red velvet : heard this was pretty standard - ferrero rocher : super rich and tasty - milk chocolate : also good, not sure if I clearly tasted milk chocolate here as compared to the other chocolate flavors - oreo cookie : both frosting and cake together was a little too sweet for me overall, though chocolate cake was good - swiss dark chocolate - more of a dark cocoa flavor and not as sweet - belgian malt chocolate - carrot cake - chocolate cream cheese - lotus bischoff - rafaello These were a hit and everyone at the party enjoyed them. At $3.50 per cupcake this wasn't too bad for single serving desserts, compared to some other places today, for the overall quality I'd order these myself next time! No issues with delivery either, it took about 45 minutes for cupcakes to arrive (the delivery location was about 20 minutes away driving from the host's home).

To Laiko represents the kinds of Greek-owned businesses that are disappearing by the minute in Astoria. It just so happens that this one sells Greek pastries and coffee. While the outside awning notes "The Little Coffee Shop", to my understanding "To Laiko" means "The people's" in Greek.

This has certainly been a place that has been for the people (#2), which is always a great sign. They're among the only folks to my knowledge that sell authentic bougatsa, a breakfast phyllo rich specialty pastry that skews sweet and is enjoyed best with tea and/or coffee.

(#3) The kasseri cheese pie is also not to be missed, along with koulouri (sesame circular bread rolls), savory pastries, and the occasional loukamade (aka Greek donut). Prices aren't back breaking, but they've crept up over the years. While I think they accept credit card, it's always best to go with cash here to avoid any upcharges. Service from Angela is sweet and cordial and I prefer getting a drink with several pies on the go since seating is minimal.
