I heard of this quaint coffee shop a few weeks back and I was finally able to visit today. The…read moreFlower Lab is located on Page Ave in the plaza. You can def find them from their cute sign out from that says Coffee and Flowers!! When walking in it's a really nice modern set up. A coffee bar to the right and in the back a beautiful flower refrigerator. With a large window with fresh flowers and women making flower boutiques. This cafe is really thoughtfully set up. When we walked in there was a gentleman standing behind the coffee bar who greeted us and answered all our coffee questions. He was extremely nice and helpful. They have an array of different coffees to choose from. They also have desserts and homemade chocolates. All coffee is from Brooklyn Roasting Company. An artisanal coffee company out of Dumbo Brooklyn that specializes in speciality coffee from different parts of the world. We decided on a flat white with real caramel and an iced caramel coffee. Also we got an oreo cheesecake. There is limited seating but we did get a seat inside. The coffee was delicious smooth and rich. Extremely creamy. Perfect cup of coffee! The cheesecake was delicious. We also got to try the homemade chocolate Bons bons. Which would be fabulous for this up coming Valentine's Day. They were dark chocolate currant and white chocolate crisp. They were super delicious . A nice crisp out side and creamy inside. I really enjoyed them. I met the owner Olga and some of her staff. She was absolutely amazing. She seems to be extremely passionate about what she does and it shows through her flowers, coffee and desserts. This is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. I would def come try this new coffee place out!

I tried the hungry man waffles which are gluten free and I thought it was a fine meal. They had a very yummy sauce on it however I was a bit disappointed by the rest of the waffle. I also got the cookies and cream coffee and it was very delicious. My only gripe about this location and the other one is I feel like it's a little too sweet for breakfast. It'll do the job for breakfast in a pinch but I always find myself wishing for a little more when I visit a beans and leaves. Additionally the atmosphere at the Forest Avenue location blows this one out of the water although this one is still pretty cute.

The flavor of the oil and dough come through in their American styled doughnuts. The semi thick…read moreicing adds another layer of well thought out flavor without adding too much sugar shock. My favorite is the plain donut with a hole middle and chocolate icing. The pastries such as the danish are only worth three stars since I prefer the French standard. It's too hard and the flavorful fruit is sweeter than I prefer. The 4 stars are for the simple doughnuts with a hole in the middle. The custom ones are too dry or perhaps old. Examples include the apple cider donut and the one with red and green cake inside, covered in chocolate icing.

We ordered the cookie monster rainbow slice, a rainbow cupcake/ muffin, and 7 layer donut. My…read morehusband and I took a bite of each of these and immediately into the trash they went. The donut is not pictured because once we peeled the wrapper off, it looked like disgusting slop. That was the third item we tried of the three we purchased and I was just angry. My dreams of sweets became a nightmare. We saw the Cookie Monster Rainbow Slice on IG a few months ago. While on Staten Island we decided to stop in and try a few things. The brownie on the top of the cake was extremely low quality. Did they just get cosmic brownie and stick it on top? Honestly, that would have been much better if they had actually done that. The cake was moist, but had a very odd flavor - it tasted like almond extract or almond paste. I don't understand how that belongs in this cake, but I guess someone thought it was good. We usually get our seven layer donuts from Alfonso's and we will continue doing so. This was a serious miss. We were disappointed because everything looks so good on their social media/ website. We will certainly not be returning. I won't be fooled twice by pretty pictures.

The major drawback of this place is that there is no WiFi (they loose 2 stars for this). They…read morealready put so much effort and money into the place that it's hard to understand why, and it's the only place on the island with hookah that has no WiFi. They are open very early which makes it tempting to make the drive all the way to the southern tip of the island, but I find myself not bothering because of the lack of WiFi. The place is very well decorated and has two booth spots with curtains that resemble more traditionally Middle Eastern places that have these areas. There is even a little water fountain, and choices between standard table seating and leather sofas. They have a very wide selection of snacks and drinks but no alcohol. They do not serve meals, but there are so many things to snack on that you could hold yourself over until you go eat. The hookah was quite a bit better than most places on the island, except that they do use the round chemical coals, and the waitress overstuffed the head, but it didn't seem to cause a problem. You can request natural coals, but the staff admitted she doesn't use them often and would put them on when they weren't fully hot yet, and then they would go out soon after. Hookahs are $15.

I came here late late Monday or Tuesday, can't remember (aka the place was unremarkable) Let me tell you why: -3 people took our order. All 3 people came back to see if we had ordered or not 15 Minutes later -What we ordered: Coffee, tea, a chocolate crossant, cheesecake 40 minutes later the coffee and chocolate crossant come out. Um ok were you baking the pastery in the back? I asked where my items were. The guy looked at me like I was nuts. I restated my order and he ran away only to come back 10 minutes later to tell me no cheesecake.OK that only took you 50 minutes to tell me....... ok I will have the pudding...... NO PUDDING HUH? OK HOW ABOUT YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE............ A BROWNIE? SURE IF THATS THE ONLY LEFT SUREEEE................. Hey buddy! MY TEA? How about that? urghhhhhhhhhhhh..................

Highest Recommendation for delicious New York Bagels…read more It's no 5 Star restaurant (only reason for 4/5 stars) but I'd easily go out of my way to come back here. While on a mini-sightseeing vacation from Virginia with the family I needed to make good on a promise to get the kids the "best bagels in New York City." After scouring bagel bakeries on Yelp I decided to take a chance on Mikey Bagels. The only thing that put me off where a couple of scathing reviews that noted inhospitable staff (but good bagels. Go figure. lol!). Well, that WAS NOT our experience. The regulars and the staff, to include Mikey, couldn't have been any more welcoming/helpful. Oh, and did I mention how good the Bagels were? I suggest getting the French Toast Bagel as an egg and Sausage Sammich (Makes me want to buy a McGriddle just to throw it in the garbage where it belongs). (In my best Austrian accent)....I'll be back.
