I think it would really help if each baked good had a label…read more As a first time customer, I had to ask many questions to understand what was in each item, including whether there were nuts, gluten, or almond flour, and whether items were sold by the slice or whole, and at what price. While regular customers may already know this information, having to ask so many questions made the experience less enjoyable. I hope this feedback is helpful, as clearer labeling would make a big difference for new customers.

This vibrant…read moreQueens neighborhood is packed with independently owned cafes, specialty spots serving flavors from different cultures, and energetic community spaces. We were craving a midday pick-me-up, so I searched around on Yelp and found Balancero. And once I saw its nearly 5-star rating, I *HAD* to see if it really lives up to the hype... Balancero is a tiny hole-in the-wall spot that operates more like a walk up-window than a traditional cafe. The interior is probably only about 200 square feet, with a minimalist vibe and most of the space taken up by the barista station. There's no indoor seating, just standing room for about 3-4 people. You can grab a spot on one of the outdoor benches. The menu is simple, with all of the classic coffee drinks plus specialty teas. They roast their own beans in the basement, so you can actually catch that fresh coffee aroma while walking along the street! They also have a small selection of pastries, including their famous mini donuts! We ordered iced lattes ($5.75 each) and the barista had our drinks ready pretty quickly. The verdict? It was love at first sip. The espresso was perfectly balanced with the milk - smooth, creamy, and still bold and strong. It had this burnt, roasted, and slightly smoky flavor with a hint of caramel that I loved. This is the kind of latte that instantly elevates your mood. I'm not a huge coffee snob, so I didn't ask about the specific roast or bean origin. All I know is that it was GOOD, okayyyyy?! It definitely stood out from other lattes I've had. If I were local, I'd absolutely stop by again to try more drinks. Give Balancero a shot! #LOCALCOFFEELOVE

Amid all the new cafes and coffee bizes popping up around Sunnyside, none have enjoyed the the…read morelongevity that Avenue Coffee House has had for the last dozen or so years. They've somehow managed to fly below the radar, while still surviving the pandemic. (#1) Thanks to new management, the interior has been spruced up significantly with an all modern feel and a layout that's actually pandemic friendly. It's not big enough to accommodate groups, but a perfect place to enjoy a little Wi-Fi and a little drink. I wouldn't say their coffee is life-changing per se, but it more than gets the job done. Most standard coffee options are available here, from lattes to iced coffees and most are priced well. Like many popular cafes their busiest times are usually in the morning or on occasion the weekend. For the most part the service is quite good. Baristas are friendly and they do a good job at keeping the place clean. This also applies to their bathrooms. I hope they can keep it up and hopefully they won't have to fly under the radar for too long. ______________ (#1) Thank you, new management.

It was so good, and you can actually taste the spices, especially the cardamom. Super flavorful latte, highly recommend!! The space itself is also really nice: well-decorated, clean, and spacious. There's Wi-Fi and outlets, so it's a great spot to work or study. They've got about five tables total, including tables that seat up to four. The view is nice too, since you're looking out onto the street and can watch people walk by. They also seem to have a solid variety of pastries and food items, so definitely check those out. Like another Yelper mentioned, this really feels like a place where the owner put a lot of thought and care into everything.
