Very spacious inside and bright and sunny but not hot. There's even a jewelry for sale. I got the blueberry lassi. It was tart and fresh, Service was super nice. They brought drinks to table.

Hidden gem! Great coffee and matcha! And we loved the avocado toast. Service was great too ;)read more

Very cozy and it…read moresmells like clean laundry :) The drinks are great - my friend got the tiramisu latte, and I got the tiramisu and a strawberry matcha latte. The tiramisu was surprisingly good given I grabbed it out of a fridge. And the strawberry matcha was super well balanced!! Very creamy, sweet, and earthy. My friend downed her tiramisu latte so fast - she loved it haha Give this place a try for sure!! They have a lot of actual food on the menu, and I'm gonna come back to try it! Service can be slow, but also it seemed like staff was limited and spread thin, so I didn't mind. Just go in knowing your drink or food may take a bit longer than a chain.

Mokafe offers more than your eyes can handle. They have lattes, coffee and amazing Adeni Chai. I…read morewould highly recommend trying out their Pistachio latte, which is probably one of the best I've had in a very long time. I love the cozy interior feeling when you walk in because it's relaxing and makes you wanna get more and more haha! They have everything from chai, coffee, delicious sweets and refreshers. If you're in Steinway or any of their other locations, I would highly recommend stopping on by and trying out one of their goodies. The baklava and Kunefe looks so delightful, the folks down at Mokafe definitely know what they're doing and they're killing th coffee and chai game!

This is such a cute little cozy spot! I love the decor, very relaxing and inviting. I even saw…read morepeople with their laptops working. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and glad I finally did. I had to get matcha and saw they had a new mix with Pistachio which turned out to be so good! Sadly we had eaten before so we were pretty stuffed and didn't get a chance to try their pastries but always next time! Definitely will visit again.

Very good The owner drowns you in love! Food is delicious. Had the Tangine Chicken- just wow!…read more Hidden gem for sure. Yummy!!

The lady who runs this place is manipulative and clearly making up prices as she goes. Confirmed by…read morewhat other reviewers have said on Google Maps. None of the prices were on the menu. Tuna sandwich was $18, soup was $18. There were two sizes of soups and she didn't ask which one we wanted and then gave us a huge one, which is clearly another meal's worth. She didn't itemize the charges until we asked and it still sounded wrong. She said "oh I won't charge you for the bread," and we didn't even ask for bread, it just came with the soup. She messed up our orders, we both asked for cheese, and she gave only one of us cheese, and then they were the same made up price. She clearly was messing up other people's orders as well thinking a girl got a coffee when she actually got a smoothie (though I will give her credit that she clarified and did get her the smoothie). When the girl asked for it to go the woman was actually mad about it and it was like the girl had to justify getting it to go. On top of all this the place was kind of dirty and disorganized and it was very difficult to communicate with her. The food was actually pretty good and at first I thought I'd like to come back to try her pastries or something, but there's no way I'm going through all this crap to get them. If her business practices were honest I would come back, but they aren't. I'm not usually one to take issue with service and such--I'll go to the grungiest hole in a wall in the world and love it--but this was messed up. This whole experience made me doubt everything--she claimed the bread was homemade, the mayo was homemade, everything was organic--given everything else I am extremely skeptical of that. I regret not having the bravery to confront her about all this and instead just paying up like a schmuck. Can't believe this place is rated so highly. Just go to the deli next door.

Whoever said Verse has one of the best matchas was absolutely not kidding. I got the Earl Grey…read moreLavender Matcha and it was elite. The sweetness level was perfect in my humble opinion, although I already know some matcha traditionalists who would call it too sweet. For me, though, it was much more balanced than Kijitora. I also loved that they have a bar area where you can sit and work while watching the staff whisk your matcha in the chawan. A drink and a tiny performance. What more could I ask for?? Also inserting my photography here...

Quaint and cozy! I spent a solid two hours here reading and enjoying a Matcha Latte, which was…read moregreat! The decor is beautiful with a rich purple and teal theme. There is a back garden room plus outdoor seating for nice days. I observed a lot of regulars come through even though there was ample indoor seating. I also appreciated the staff being attentive to vacant tables and wiping them down after patrons left. They have sandwiches and pastries and they also started serving alcohol with their later hours. This is a great quiet place to hang out if you need to get some work done free from distractions.

I love this spot overall. This is the closest coffee shop to me in upper Astoria with great vibes…read moreand adorable decor. It's super Instagrammable, I love the seats situated within the heart and all of the flowers and greenery in this place. There are a few limited food options, but overall this is a cafe that also serves beer and wine (and the occasional frose, yay). Almost all of the times I've been in here (save for this last time) service is fast and friendly - but on my last visit the guy seemed like he was struggling to get orders out and keep the line moving. There were two folks ahead of me and the first one had multiple orders, so I figured there'd be a bit of a wait. Around 15 minutes later or so it was my turn to order, and I asked about the teas. The iced options were either sweetened with caffeine, or unsweetened without caffeine - I'd been hoping for something iced and unsweetened. When I asked about green tea he said he had none made, but didn't offer making it for me as an option. We awkwardly stood there for a few moments more as I waited to see if he might say this was something he could do. Eventually I cut my losses and said thanks anyway.

However, i will say they got the flavor close but there was still a gapin the orange flavor and cinnamon, the cake was a bit more sweet than expected. The text was good, spongy and moist. Definitely needed a good cup of black coffee. Overall a nice unexpected finding while walking around the neighborhood. I would have like to taste more orange and cinnamon and less sugar.

We shared a piece and it wasn't just pretty, but also delicious! It's nice that they also have juice boxes available for purchase so that I could offer one to my daughter.
