Laza Dessert Cafe is owned by Moose and Ocky; both are NYC influencers. #iykyk They both happened to be there when we went which was cool to see them in person! As for the dessert, I'm happy to say it was actually good! The Laza Special Kunafa was decadent, indulgent, and over the top in the best way. The kunafa on the bottom is stuffed with cream making it sweet, luscious, and creamy. The Biscoff, pistachio, Oreo, and chocolate combined beautifully into this tremendous dessert. The Passionfruit Refresher was also light, sweet, and easy to sip on. I like that you have 2 options for the base: lemonade or Sprite. I went with lemonade here but could totally see the Sprite one being just as good. Great spot to check out and hope they do well!

It's important to try it on a semi empty stomach or when you have a sweet tooth though because it is really sweet. The service is quick!

WOW WOW AND WOW!!!!!…read more This hidden gem in Astoria seriously has some of the best coffee I've ever had. If you've been here before, you already know I'm not exaggerating. My go-to is the honey oat milk latte...it never misses. What really sets this place apart is the consistency. Every single time, the coffee tastes exactly the same, which is something a lot of spots just can't get right. That's what makes it so special. It was so good I had to come on here and leave a review. 10/10

There aren't any prices written in the bakery, but we paid a total of $4.75 for a concha ($1.75) and a flan ($3). Service was friendly and helpful. The Flan was light in flavor, but great texture. If you want a not too sweet flan, this is good to get. The Concha was soft and also not too sweet. Satisfied my craving. I'll definitely be back for more concha!

I had no idea about the names of the pastries what I bought (see picture); I just picked whatever looked appealing and tempting. Can't really go wrong with any choice here. Many items are bigger than expected with very reasonable prices. It was the first time I visited a Mexican bakery and I was very happy I did.

Crepe House NYC is a Must-Try…read more I stopped by Crepe House NYC, and everything was amazing. The strawberry-banana-Nutella crepe was perfect--light, fresh, and full of flavor. I also had: * Dubai Chocolate Bars * Oreo Waffle Stick * Fruit Loop Strawberry Milkshake * Chocolate-Covered Strawberries * Brownie Sundae * Dubai Chocolate Donuts & Caramel Sundae Donuts Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. The service was great, and they're open late--perfect for a sweet fix anytime.

It's unfortunate that most of my reviews turn out to negative in tone but the truth is the only…read morething that matters and I assure you ALL of my reviews are based on factual face to face encounters. IF PEOPLE WANTED BETTER REVIEWS THEY SHOULD HAVE BEHAVED BETTER. I was what you call a regular here late nights....would make it in here b twice a week MINIMUM so they know me and even even greeted me as such I have personally witnessed the confused taller employee on the younger side speaking very nasty to homeless people just asking for a cup of water. I never really thought much of it until the lack of respect knocked on my door too. (Lack of respect for himself first and then anyone else). What an embarrassment to his poor parents. I ordered a crepe here and found what appeared to be a pubic hair inside. Instead of making a huge deal about it and embarrassing and putting the young man on the spot, I asked him to come speak to me off to the side away from others. I politely asked for a refund. Instead of addressing the concern, I was told it wasn't a hair and that it came from a banana. Bananas don't have hairs like that. The refusal to acknowledge or resolve the issue was disappointing. The refusal to make good on the mistake was fueled by the fact that I wasn't being receptive to the young man's advances and tacky attempts to flirt with me. This can be confirmed because right after being denied the confused young man followed me outside(as I'm writing this review and tried to use the incident as an icebreaker to get to speak to me on a more personal and intimate basis -- didn't work and young man was told to step away from me immediately. Mistakes can happen, but how they're handled matters. I won't be returning.

I believe Arcobaleno was formerly known as Dovetail Bakery in Sunnyside & the cardamom buns were popular back then & hopefully now as well. I asked the employee (I forgot her name but she's the adorable girl with glasses for a lack of better terms) how many they make in a day & apparently it's only five. I was surprised because these buns are truly incredible (way better than Fabrique Bakery which specializes in buns) but I understand as it's a gelato place. I have also tried the passionfruit macadamia bar & sourdough bread from here which are both great, but nothing beats those divine buns IMHO. If you happen to be in Sunnyside, 110% try one as you won't regret it!
