    Ice Cappucino with almond milk

    Such a cute place in the heart of Astoria. Servers are friendly and ambiance is really cute with seating available.

    This place was absolutely amazing and Linda is darling! She really helped us pick out some great desserts - We ordered the crème brûlée, tres leche, a meringue cake and a chocolate layered cake - if I could get more than 5 stars I would. Crème brûlée is 100% a must try! The shop is also so adorable!

    Decided to pick up a dessert from this place, located in Astoria, Queens, it's very nice and bright when you walk inside plenty of seats to enjoy a coffee and a treat. I tried the Kataifi . All I can say is that this is definitely the best I've had in this entire area. You can tell baked with fresh good ingredients. Freshly made . I liked the perfect consistency and delicate texture. I was able to take small pieces just with my fork, that's how fresh it was . The cashier was friendly and helpful. Many sweets to try - I look forward sitting and trying another sweets delight and coffee.

    Bajadera, a hazelnut and chocolate dessert

    I was passing by this cute little new bakery when I realized I hadn't eaten all day. I popped inside because they said on a cute little chalkboard sign that they have borek and who am I to deny that? Turns out, the bakery is Albanian and--for my Muslim friends--their meat is halal! I got a meat borek, an iced coffee, and a chocolate/hazelnut dessert called bajadera. It was so tasty and the borek was delicious and the size of a small toddler. I will absolutely be returning to try more!

    Cute cafe, friendly. I enjoyed the avocado toast. Good quality bread. There is also outdoor dining, which is nice in sunny weather.

    We loved this little start-up bakery which recently opened up on Ditmars Blvd. Fresh desserts, baklava, custom cakes, cream-filled cupcakes, and so many chocolates filed desserts it was very hard to settle on a few particular selections in the end, we purchased some baklava and chocolate-filled cupcakes, and pastries. Boy were they delicious. Upon returning home everything was consumed within a day. All in all a great success; we will be back. They will give Cakes by Newan a runny for their money which is close by. Wishing Linda every success in her new venture!

    Some sweets in the case!

We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

A friend recommended it to me, and I've already ordered two birthday cakes from here. The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!

    3.5 stars. TLDR - good service, but iffy about the food (maybe we came too late)…read more.. $7 - mini flans (ube, coconut pandan, mango, thai tea) $10 - "bigger" flan (ube only) $30 - 7 inch flan cake (ube only) $50 - 9 inch flan cake (pre-order only) $12 - halo halo $5 - various iced drinks, boba, lattes $3 - madelines (for 3 pcs) The drinks were a little too sweet for my liking (we got the lemonade). They are famous for their flan cake mix. The ones in the cooler were just alright. The flan was more of a custard texture (away from jiggly jello) which was good. However, the bottom cake layers had subtle flavors and were a bit stale. The flan tastes better when its fresh and not refrigerated though. Compared to other customer's pictures, I think the issue was that there was not much caramel sauce on the plate. there was not much liquid on the bottom of the plate so the cakes did not look moist for most of our flans. The halo halo was a bit small in size for $12 (jar is similar to a overnight oats serving size). ive seen other places price it at $8-10 for that size. Overall, it was a miss for me for my first time. Service was nice though. they did let us stay 20 mins past closing.

I got the flan cheesecake instead and it was good though! I was skeptical but the two does work well together. I also got the berry napoleon and while the whipped cream is light, I prefer a custard and the layers to be crispier. I did get their butter cookies for the first time, and they were good. Parisi bakery still have the best ones in my opinion. I got the Italian cheesecake which I always do, and I think I like this refrigerated more. There doesn't seem to be a difference between cash and credit anymore.

    I love Lety's Bakery & I'm glad it has been in Jackson Heights for a while & many years to come…read more The employees there are always very sweet & everything I've had there was great, some more than others of course (like the flan & rainbow cookies stand out more than other things to me). Everything I've tried so far has been fresh as well. The one important thing to note though is that the flan cheesecake is amazing (who even came up with that haha) & I do think the textures do mix well BUT only when eaten fresh. In short, do not take the flan cheesecake to go as it does not travel well at all, even if it's for a short distance. Simply enjoy it inside the cafe instead :).

    As stated before, I finally came back to try the savory foods from Tea Cup Cafe!…read more Starting off, my fiancé ordered the Crispy Fish. The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)! For some reason, I love the coconut thai tea from here and always find myself craving it.
