    Coffee Lab is, scientifically speaking, exactly what you would want in a coffee shop. Great coffee? Tasty snacks and baked goods? Friendly baristas? Clean space with plenty of seating? Strong wifi? Check, check, check, check, freaking CHECK. It's got it all. It's like it was made in a--wait for it--LABORATORY to be just what I needed. All that to say, if you're looking for any or all of the above, no need to look further.

    I had a delicious Americano with oat milk light and sweet with a guava and cheese empanada. It was really good. This place is really cute with seating so you can sit back and relax. The service was wonderful, I am not a real coffee drinker so the wonderful server said give it a try and let me know. I had no complaints. I will go again on my journey to work in the mornings.

    Astoria isn't lacking in coffee shops but it's still nice to see when a new one opens. Coffee Lab is located on the quiet corner of 31st Avenue and 34th Street in Astoria. This is a great place to hang out, work or just people watch. The space isn't huge but the floor to ceiling windows that opens out into the street makes for a very bright and welcoming space. There is free Wifi, plenty of seating (inside and outdoor), really good coffee and friendly staff. Their menu mainly consists of hot & cold drinks and pastries. And prices are comparable with other cafes in Astoria. If you happen to be in this part of the neighborhood, definitely try them out. Tip: Wifi password is TheCoffeeLab3420

    Nice place with nice decor but takes FOREVER to make your coffee. Waited a good while for this cup of offer and the place is not busy.

    Overall, I had a mixed experience here. The quality of the coffee can be irksome at best, and the few times I arrived, a regular cup of coffee was okay at best. Basically, it depended on who served me and what time of day I was there. See my photo of my regular coffee The plus side of this new spot is that the owners have turned it into a popular internet cafe, where many spend hours on their laptops doing whatever they do, even holding meetings. They also seem to stay open late, which is another plus of the community on 31st Avenue. The bottom line is that they are a work in progress.

    Iced Latte (~$5)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Iced Freddo Cappuccino (~$5) Iced Latte (~$5): with oat milk (50¢) + sugar-free vanilla (25¢) Aya's take: New coffee shop alert! I love a good coffee shop, especially one that 1) has good espresso, 2) has cute branded cups, and 3) has plenty of natural lighting and seating. The Iced Freddo Cappuccino is a traditional Greek drink that's creamy, foamy, and strong. It has a strong coffee flavor that is mellowed down as you mix the frothed milk more and more. It could use a little bit of sweetness as it isn't really sweet on its own. I wish they recommended that to me or explained the best way to order this. The Iced Latte was very well-made! All the flavors and ingredients came together so well. From the bitterness and richness of the espresso to the sweetness from the sugar-free vanilla to the freshness of the oat milk. I love their cups and the caffeine chemical symbol on the back. It's a great way to stand out among the many cafes and coffee shops in Astoria. Hope they do well here and I will be back!

    Nutella Iced Latte

    I ordered an iced Nutella latte, and on the menu they had a M or L option. But when I ordered the guy just bluntly was like "it comes in large" and nothing else like wym I see a stack of 2 different sized cups behind you? I didn't feel like wasting my breath so I just said fine and took the large cuz maybe the drink was good? Mid at most. Overall the place looked nice but there were 2 workers with not much hospitality of like "welcome in" or "hi what can I get you" just "ready?" which rlly grinds my gears

    I went there to get my espresso and green tea matcha latte as usual and l am writing to formally raise a concern about your staff members during my recent visit to your coffee shop. I found her behavior and appearance to be highly unprofessional and concerning. The staff member in question had long hair that was left untied while handling food and drinks, which raises serious hygiene issues. Additionally, she was noticeably rude to customers, including myself, which made the overall experience very unpleasant. As a paying customer, I expect basic standards of cleanliness, professionalism, and courtesy from the staff. Unfortunately, this incident did not reflect those standards. I hope you will address this matter promptly to ensure better service and hygiene for your customers in the future.

    OMG! This new corner coffee shop is a charm. I knew from a far that it would be an excellent place to try. The baristas here are so friendly and welcoming, despite how busy it was they were so sweet! I got an iced decaf biscoff latte and that was bussing. I never had such a sweet latte that I actually downed in a matter of 10 seconds, lol I'm dramatic but that's how it feels! The cafe itself is chic and super clean. They have many variety for drinks that are probably seasonal so I can't wait to try what else they have to offer. I also peeped matcha cloud on their menu, I can't wait. And yes there's WiFi!!

    Literally after one sip.

    Coffee portions are off, and the taste could be better. The Biscoff doesn't taste like biscoff and the barista didn't seem to care when mentioned. Ordered the Freddo Cappuccino with Biscoff syrup. Way too much milk for a cappuccino - it was borderline a latte.

    Cortado 8 oz Choco Chip Scone

    Stopped by for a coffee and pastry late morning on a weekday before doing some errands. There were only a few people sitting down and no line. The cortado I ordered isn't my normal drink so I'm not a great judge of quality there but I enjoyed it along with the chocolate chip scone. The prices were very reasonable and I'll definitely be back.

    Freddo cappuccino and Pistachio cream latte
    Aaron B.

    My girlfriend and I came here on a Friday, and it was a little busy. The overall ambiance was great and the service was fine. The drinks, however, were quite underwhelming. I ordered the freddo cappuccino and it had way too much steamed milk for my liking (the picture was accurate so that is my own fault...). My gf ordered the pistachio cream latte, and it also had too much of the steamed milk. The only pistachio flavor seemed to come from pistachio butter, which gave a peanut butter taste that wasn't very pleasant.

    I've tried the pistachio latte, the rose cardamom chai latte, the biscoff latte, and the matcha guava, and I've loved every single one.

    The dessert here is so inviting and pretty. Especially the mousse based ones that look like fruits…read more I got the mango, orange, and the one that looks like a mushroom. The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

    This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!
