Wishing it was better! This cafe is absolutely gorgeous! It really makes you feel like you are in an oasis! The drinks and deserts were phenomenal! We came here solely for drinks and desert so it hit that avenue very well! The part that is really lacking is service! The waiter was very attentive when greeting us as we sat down, taking our order and then delivering it! Beyond that, she did not come by not once to check on us, and after 1.5 hours, I asked her for the check, which then took her abort 10-15 minutes to get it to me and then processed! Overall, I was thinking it might be shortage of staff but I did see many staff so that may or may not be it! Beyond that the food and drinks was good, we wil definitely give it one more try! read more

Nice spot, nice to great atmosphere, great coffee sub par desserts. Have been to this location multiple times. Great to go in the evening and sit outside. The coffees are very good and there is a good vibe to the place. Main drawback are the desserts. I guess if you stick to greek desserts you may be okay but things like chocolate cake, or strawberry cheesecake, and carrot cake and other such desserts are well below average. They taste like a cake you would buy from a supermarket. I would go back and order food and coffee. read more

Can't go wrong with the desserts at Oasis - from the fruit tart to the crème brûlée to the napoleon, everything they make is delicious. Most recently I had the raspberry cheesecake, which was the perfect blend of cheesecake, chocolate ganache, and raspberry jam. Nothing on the menu not worth getting bf! read more

Hosted a birthday party here. Would not recommend and would never do it again. George was completely incompetent and inattentive. Reserved area was dirty, and actually being used by other patrons well into our reserved time to set up and decorate. My guests and I had to basically run after him to get refills and none of the tables were served their meals on time, which made the event run even later. I couldn't even enjoy the event as much because I had to run after basically nonexistent staff to request items that should've already been on the table, such as utensils and food. George then became defensive about his poor service and actually over charged me, so no I would not recommend and would never trust him to host an event of mine again. read more

I recently came here for a private event, not just as a diner. Service wise everyone's attitudes were great, and everyone was very helpful when needed. I can applaud the servers for handling a large, loud group of people with such ease. The food however, was both a hit and miss for me. We had a salad that was honestly delicious, the pita chip appetizer that was equally if not more delicious, and some good drinks (shout out to the passion fruit lemonade with coconut cold foam!!). I did not try the Pizza but I was told it was mediocre, and the entrees.... Were absolutely lacking. I had pasta primavera and my husband had salmon. We both needed salt, pepper, and couldn't eat some of the vegetable pieces due to them being the inedible parts. He also had a few fish bones, so that was a nuisance. the lattes are good, we had many: vanilla and hazelnut iced lattes, pistachio latte (yum!), honey oat milk latte (not bad at all), a Greek style latte (needed milk), and many more. Overall those were good. Another minor issue we had was the tables just weren't being cleared out- it felt like we had tons of glass around all the time. Overall, I think the place just needs to tidy up a little. If they fixed their seasoning for the entrees, this place would've easily been 5 stars. The decorations and size of the place are fantastic, just these few things should really be looked at. ---//// tldr Pros: - non alcoholic drinks (latte, coffee, lemonades, etc) - great event space for up to 100 people - appetizers/dips/salad are amazing Con: - entree was completely dull - tables should've been cleared more frequently - experience was during a large event, so my review is likely slightly skewed read more

I have arrived at around 10 with a party of 9. The service was alright, the waitress had an attitude which we did not appreciate. The food portions have decreased in size as well as the desserts which is extremely disappointing. read more

great food, vibes, service and ambiance! especially into the summer when the patio is open. their honey oat latte is really good and one of my favs in NYC. i've been for brunch and an early dinner and both times the food was delicious. highly recommend the pepperoni/hot honey pizza, rigatoni a la vodka and any of the sandwiches! however, they have a great selection of drinks and food so you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

I believe these two are seasonal because I haven't seen them on their menu until today so I was excited to give them a try (had to pass on my usual Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Cheesecake). Mmm so good give them a try while you still can! And first time customers can take advantage of their BOGO cheesecake! read more

Oasis Cafe has been at this same location for DECADES!! I can honestly say that I haven't been here in about 30 years! Back then, it was just a regular cafe. Little did I know that it is what it is today: a fabulous oasis in the middle of Northern Blvd in Bayside, Queens! I was delightfully surprised. Forget over-rated Martha's, Oasis Cafe is soooo much better in every way! But Sssshhhh, don't tell everyone...I don't want to have to wait for a table next time!! From the outside, looking in, it really doesn't look THAT special...but when you step into the dining areas (both inside and outside), you realize just how far they've come since back in the day! The inside seating area is so upscale and fancy; the outdoor seating area is beautiful and spacious. Great vibe; great music, great customer service by all. Note that there is a smoking and non-smoking section in their outdoor seating area. When we went, the non-smoking area was full, so we agreed to sit in the smoking section, but at the end, where there weren't too many ppl. Note: the smoke DOES drift! The desserts are AMAZING!! Not only are they visually drool worthy, but they are fresh and delicious! Prices range from about $5-$8, depending on what you're in the mood for. They have a huge selection, and it will be hard to pick just one dessert. My party and I ordered 4 desserts to share for 5 ppl, and only ate 3 of them; taking one home. All 4 desserts were delicious, fresh and really hit the spot. I also had their regular brewed coffee, which was just ok. I would order a different coffee next time. Note that they serve food also. But I haven't tried any of the food, so can't really say much about it. Next time I'm looking for dessert/coffee, I'm heading back to Oasis Cafe! Can't wait! read more

Oasis Cafe turns out desserts that are visually appealing and taste great. When we dropped by late yesterday afternoon, they were still bringing out fresh trays of baklava cheesecake, rainbow cookies, Nutella mousse cake, etc. Along with the aforementioned Nutella cake, we brought home an Oreo Caramel mousse and a couple of small pieces of baklava. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our selections and I can see why this place is a favorite local dessert spot for teens (including my kid). They have a few seats up front, more seating in the back, and a nice sized outdoor dining area (which I look forward to checking out soon). Their dessert selection is solid but without being so large that you [over]think yourself to death. They also serve a variety of food which I would also like to try. Pricing is fair and staff were a little tied up with some indecisive customers, but they acknowledged our presence and was patient with us when answering our questions as to what some of the items were. I'd not hesitate to come back for the desserts alone but definitely want to try out their food menu and updating my review to include that. Parking wasn't hard to find on the street at that time of day on this busy stretch of Northern Blvd. near Francis Lewis Blvd. read more

waiters are extremely slow and every time i come here, they either don't take our order after about 45 minutes and it takes extremely long to get our food. even if the restaurant isn't busy at all. i come here mostly every day and the food always takes long to come. i hope that this reaches the right people and something changes read more

Ok don't know where to start but outside decorations beautiful looks like a oasis however that's where it ends. Employees seem like they don't want to be there if you get lucky they will answer the phone ALWAYS puts you on hold says one minute sometimes says five but doesn't come back even after 8-10 minutes later then you call back no answer. Then you troop out there to make the trip and employees aren't even doing much unsure why they cannot answer the phones as if it's on purpose and I'm not talking about during busy hours I'm talking about weekdays 11-12-1 o clock and when you get there they are not welcoming at all makes you feel like you are bothering them ... then when you ask them about the different types of black cakes (clearly I can see they' all some kinda chocolate cake) however, their answer is chocolate cake. That's another chocolate cake then after purchasing. I looked up on my receipt and they were not just another chocolate cake. They actually had a name to it and a very distinct description and different flavors in that slice that had I known prior to purchasing an 8.50 cake slice I would've not got it; they should put some signs of the cake names so we can research for ourselves if it's such a bother to the employees. Then there is the chocolate fudge cake I ordered omg where do I begin bread was stale and hard the frosting seemed same level as store bought Betty Crocker frosting. The cost was NOT cheap the writing on the cake was underwhelming. Very disappointed with my experience rather go further down to Bell and go to Martha's. Tried it and once again was a fail won't be returning. read more

This place is awesome!!! We came here for the outdoor seating and it had amazing ambiance, vibe, crowd, and the service was superb. We ordered the 718 pressed sandwich with greek salad. The salad was superb, fresh, great portion, and one of the most amazing greek salads i've ever had. The sandwich was well made and all the ingredients including the sauce blended and worked harmoniously. Definitely one of the best Definitely a worthy place to come and chill read more

Still one of the best Greek restaurant/lounge/cafes in NYC. Their outdoor space is huge and great for groups. It started pouring outside but our group was well covered.

Sitting outside.. you really feel like you are in an oasis. We stopped by on a Saturday night 6pm, there was a dj playing already. Love the ambience, banana trees, fire... doesn't seem like you are in queens, New York. Server was very nice. Food came out in a decent time. They don't specialize in certain an ethnic food but have a mixture of everything to pastas, gyros, and your typical bar food. The pizza was delicious. But price is a little high for what it's worth.. I guess you are paying for the ambience. read more

I grew up in the area and this place has been here as long as I remember. It used to be an unassuming spot, but we all knew this place has the best cheesecake around! In the last few years, Oasis went through a slight rebranding with a new look and new items. They also started serving food and doing more with their drinks, becoming more cafe than bakery. And I feel they've done it well! I don't know the story behind it, maybe a new family member entered with a passion for this stuff, but either way the quality of the baked goods and cakes have been consistently good as long as I've known them. I haven't eaten in yet so can't speak for the dining experience (from recent reviews, seems like that's where the growing pains are at), but the staff is consistently friendly (even to my parents who can't speak English well) and before covid, they occasionally had samples to try. They also do custom cakes and such, which is awesome! Like my family wanted blueberry cake and they've had a go at it, which went pretty well! One minor con for me, and this may be a matter of preference so I didn't unfairly deduct a star, is a lot of the desserts are just a bit too sweet for me. I mean I loveee sweets, but I can't eat here every week, much less every other day, because they seem just a bit heavy handed with the sugar. It's a shame imo because their desserts are packed with flavor and has mostly great texture. Their chocolate-based desserts have the same issue for me, where I prefer my chocolate on cakes and cookies to be more chocolaty and less Hershey's syrupy. I wonder if they can experiment with a less sweeter version and see what people think, particularly the younger crowd? Either way, Oasis is worth a try and I definitely recommend going here to pick up cakes for special occasions! Minor edit: Okay, so I bought a variety of treats since this review and mmm, I don't know what happened but the desserts were well-balanced (not as sugary but perfectly sweet), the cakes were super smooth and silky, and also I've never tried their creme brulee and baklava cheesecake (must be a newer item), but I totally recommend a try! Only minor hiccup was the pickup being confusing and took awhile (food was ready but the staff was literally running around), but once I got someone's attention, they were quick and friendly. Hope these guys have a happy holiday and keep up the good stuff! read more

My hunny surprised me with dessert from here. He ordered three slices of cake: a Dulce De Leche Cheesecake, Nutella Cheesecake, and a Chocolate Fudge Cake. From the packaging I thought that the slices would be on the smaller side but they were huge. I used a regular fork and it was still too much yumminess packed on my utensil. The cake slices weren't overly sweet. When I tell you everything was bomb. It was perfection in a slice. Each bite was more delicious than the last. I couldn't believe how inexpensive the cake slices were. This will be our new go to spot to satisfy our sweet tooth. read more

I've been here a few times & I do admit that things have changed drastically throughout the years. Drinks are always quite sub par here however my friend got a dirty glass which was not very appealing. The charcuterie board could use a bit of help, maybe some crackers instead of four bread sticks.... Despite that minor detail, it was presented beautifully. We also ordered the Greek fries which were drizzled with feta cheese, very tasty. we ordered the banana cream pie for our friend since it was her birthday. However, when I asked the waitress she agreed but when I actually snuck into the bathroom she was telling the other servers. "And she told me it was her birthday..." in a very sarcastic & kinda rude but perhaps our waitress was having a bad day. The banana cream pie was delicious to me. I'm really shocked to see this place got a B rating however, it's such a beautiful spot. read more

I recently ordered a Strawberry Shortcake whole cake. The cake tasted like it was drenched in syrup and way too sweet. I was really disappointed because I remember ordering a whole Strawberry Shortcake earlier last year, and it tasted amazing; everyone who ate a slice complimented on how good the cake was. Not sure what's going on, but Oasis isn't what it used to be. read more

Nice place. Good choice of food and pastries. Friendly staff. Comfortable outdoor seating. Stays open late which is good for the

I've only had dessert delivery from here, and I think their desserts taste ok for the most part. They have a nice selection of desserts, but I'd take off stars for the quality of their desserts. I've tried their triple chocolate cake, duche de leche, creme brulee, fruit tarts, tiramisu, and baklava. The tiramisu tasted watery and creme brulee texture was too firm. The other sweets were ok, but almost too sweet. read more

This place is quite VIBEY! I felt like I was transported to some tropical island. The outside looked amazing with an intricate lighting system. Would definitely recommend to try out if you are looking for a nice late night out, especially after a movie like Barbie. All the drinks were solid. I would personally recommend to get the Green tea drink, it had the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor. Way better than Panera's green tea drink. The service was also amazing, our server was super nice and very real with us on his recommendations. He also said that the Green tea drink is a fan favorite. TLDR: If you're looking for a vibey place that's open late to sit down, get some drinks, play some games, eat some sweets, come to the Oasis Cafe. They aren't joking with the "Oasis" part read more

I believe this place is low key racist. I ordered a Bougatsa for my Greek wife. The guy behind the counter asked if I wanted it heated up with cinnamon and sugar. I said yes and he clearly understood me. I waited a minute, got my desert and left. I got home (less than 5 min.) gave the bougatsa to my wife and she's yelling and complaining how it was ice cold with NO cinnamon and sugar AT ALL on the bougatsa. My greek wife and I came to the conclusion . Because I am mávros, the guy botched my order to get me out of the store as quick as possible. Because to heat the bougatsa up it would of took couple minutes. I guess he didn't want me in the store waiting for my order while the Greeks ate and ordered who stayed. read more

This café is adorable and the wait staff are great! I came to study and everyone was super nice. Our server was always checking up on us which was great. I ordered an oat milk latte that morning which was great. Later in the day, we had lunch where I ordered the souvlaki platter. I thought this was an amazing lunch and the perfect size! We ordered another round of caffeine and I got the iced caramel cloud macchiato. I usually get the cloud macchiatos at Starbucks and this one is so much better - I highly recommend this drink here. Overall, this is a super aesthetic café to get your work done in - but they don't have Wi-Fi and only a few outlets. The servers were super nice and the food is just what I needed after a long day of studying! read more
