Bacon Egg and Cheese
Evan L.

Nice little cafe with a great breakfast deal- $6 for a small coffee and a sizable breakfast sandwich (bacon egg and cheese in my case). Staff was friendly too. Would definitely come back!

We love this place! We went there 3 times while we were in Astoria. They were conveniently located maybe 30 feet from we were staying. The first day we had their breakfast special, bacon, egg, and cheese on a delicious soft bread. Only $6 for 2 sandwiches and a coffee. Remember though that was a special. They have other specials, every day. The second time I got the tomato, ham, and mayo! It was big sandwich and so delicious! The 3rd time I got a spinach wrap with egg ham and cheese. Again, so good! The owner, I think, is so nice. It's a super quaint spot and maintained pretty busy while we were there. Clean and cozy!

Great cup of coffee! Efkharistou!!

Wake Up World to the cutest, tastiest, immaculate coffee, crepe and sandwich shop in the 11102. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an absolute honor to introduce you to the wonderful Wake Cup Astoria. The owner John is so warm, loving, fun, patient and hospitable. I got a chance to enjoy a lovely chat with him. His greeting, welcome and how he takes care of each customer and order is something special. Love the menu boards with an extensive variety of hot and cold coffees, hot sandwiches, rolls, bagels, croissants and salads. There is a great Omelette special as well. The restaurant is spotless. I saw some orders being prepared and served and the egg sandwiches and crepes looked divine. The prices are fantastic. The coffee is great- fresh, hot and strong. Wake Cup Astoria is open from 6:30 am to 5:00 pm M-F and 7:30 am to 4:30 pm on the weekends. I am new to this neighborhood but feel so at home at this establishment.

Came here with a friend for a quick lunch while visiting a patient at Mount Sinai. Very convenient that it's down the block! As I walked in, the place was rather small but "cozy". There are some seats to enjoy dine-in; as well as two tables outside. A lot of outlets for those looking for a WFH spot! The desserts caught my eye RIGHT AWAY. They looked so fresh and smelled amazing: however I opted for a savory item. I ordered a fredo cappuccino & a Greek salad with chicken. My friend ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches. I received a sandwich by accident but once I made the guy behind the counter aware, he apologized immediately and stated I keep both items. I thought that was very kind of him, the environment itself was welcoming & I'll definitely be back! **THERE'S A BREAKFAST SPECIAL THAT IS PROMOTED ON THE SIGN OUTSIDE THE CAFE STATING A BACON EGG & CHEESE & A SM COFFEE = $6**

Sweet Bacon Crepe
Laura G.

Sweet Bacon Crepe: I really enjoyed the sweet and savory combo from the fig jam, bacon, and mozzarella. The crepe was thin and tender. The wait for our crepe was a little over 10 minutes.

This spot is brand spanking new and super cute! Even though they are a bit on the tiny side, they have a TON of options to choose from. With delicious caffeinated beverages (I throughly enjoyed my chai tea latte and you KNOW how picky I am with my chai) to sandwiches and crepes. The person behind the counter was very patient with me and recommended the sweet bacon crepe. I much appreciated this suggestion as this was an amazing way to start the day and held me over while I waited for the person I was gonna go to meet. Again, the place is small, but there are spots to sit both inside and outside when weather permits. Downside is there are no restrooms to use. But don't let that stop you from checking out what delicious things they have in house.

Cappuccino time!

I walked in one day to a cafe and found out my new crepe location. Wake Cup Astoria has crepes, sandwiches, bagels, and other delicious items. I could tell that they have all kind of delicious tarts, heros, and coffee options. So far, I have had their cappuccino. Strong, but different. I also had the opportunity to have their circular tart with apple inside...oh it's so good. In the window at the counter, they also have Greek pastries with many options inside like spinach, sausage, ham, cheese, etc. Also, there are a myriad of breakfast options: muffins, cheese danish, Nutella croissant, so many decisions to make here. I figured I could come back and try each one if I live to see more days ahead of me. I had to try a crepe. I decided on the sausage crepe with ham, cheese, mushrooms, pickles, and spicy mayo. It sounds like a strange combination, but I love to try new things. Food is never boring for me. And it did not disappoint. I ate this lovely crepe at Athens playground as the beautiful sun dried up all the raindrops earlier. Some things that I also had my eye on (well both my eyes on): bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, and also the salami sandwich (worth the heart attack!) and the cheesecake crepe(now that sounds...oooh mouthwatering!) Along the wall, I observed there are a ton of cold beverage options like sparkling water, bottled water, Snapple, and sodas. If you are Vegetarian, there's yogurt, fruit bowls, and healthy stuff like salads. Indeed, I stopped by one day to have the romaine, and it's light and delicious with its amazing olive oil citrusy dressing. Just simple. Tasty. Hit the spot. Bonus: I noticed they have two tables for outdoor dining and also an L shaped couch inside along with some chairs for indoor dine-in option as well. Bonus squared: The owner and cousin are super nice! They are friendly and greet you as you walk in! It's all good vibes!

Ate here today for lunch by myself during my lunch break while working full time and across the street as a teacher assistant at The 30th Avenue School (Q300). I had brought and ate the "wake cup" sandwich with a can of lemon seltzer. It was really good and delicious. The service there was also friendly, courteous and attentive that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose a sandwich to try for the first time. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

BLT + cheese
Phoebe K.

Cute and cozy breakfast spot! This spot opened recently right near my apt and I've passed by a bunch. I finally decided to check it out and support! It was super clean and cute inside, simple cafe vibes. There's a small outdoor seating section as well. There is a large selection of drinks and menu items. I decided to get the BLT to keep it light and they told me it comes on a hero so I asked for it to be on a roll. I assumed that would change the price since it was listed as $6.50 with the hero but I was still charged the full amount :( It was yummy nevertheless but pretty steep for a standard BLT (it did also have a slice of cheese hmm). The couple? that worked the store was really nice and attentive. They seem eager and excited about the store!

To be honest I had no idea Wake Cup was even an establishment until randomly walking by a couple weeks ago. The inside aesthetic was extremely inviting so I figured why not pop in for a coffee and pastry. Ended up ordering the Coco Choco Crepe as it combined some of my favorite flavors - chocolate, hazelnut and coconut. The crepe was made right in front of us which adds to the experience. The crepe itself remained light and with enough weight to withstand the Nutella spread, coconut flakes and almonds. It certainly satisfied my sweet tooth for the time being.

A new Greek Crepe house comes to Astoria After living in Astoria for nearly 35 years, I am always skeptical when yet another coffee shop opens up in our area! We are over-saturated with too many of them. And I was even more surprised when I learned that it was a Greek crepe café that served sandwiches and a lot of pastries. About ten or so years ago, crepe cafes were popular in Astoria; almost all of them disappeared soon after that. So what was a Greek restaurant offering crepes? This model had failed before. And anyway, crepes are from France. So, I went to try out Wake Cup last month. The café is a little hard to find. If you walk down from the 30 Ave station, it is hidden by a bunch of commercial buildings, and they do not have a bright awning. Only the chalkboard that lists some of their crepes identifies their location from the outside. I've noticed that the low visibility in the awning placement tends to be the norm. The old Bellucci pizzeria has the same issue. What was I going to expect? The café has a few outdoor seating spaces but a lovely lounge with couches around the entrance. Though you get a paper menu, they offer breakfast sandwiches, muffins, bagels, Greek specialties, and their signature crepes. Indeed, there was so much to show that I needed some time. I finally decided to go with the cheesecake crepe, which essentially is and tastes like cheesecake on a crepe. The chef, waitress, and owner were all accommodating and had excellent teamwork and service. I briefly chatted with the owner for a few minutes. He was very nice

Two crepes, two people, sitting inside the restaurant. About 22 bucks total.

I thought I already left a review before, but I can't find it. But, these are the best crepes that I've had. Good size, good fillings, and good amount of fillings. Seating is good, it seems to be replaced with more comfortable seats. The owners are welcoming. I had one issue that they helped me resolve I've come alone and with my partner multiple times. I haven't had the coffee, but if it's anything like the crepes, it's likely good as well. I recommend coming for the crepes, at the minimum!

Darjeeling Kitchen & Café - Himalayan Curry: I don't typically like mushrooms but these were divine and the hint of carmelized onions on the Chinese broccoli was great!

LOVE these momos! Probably the best I've had so far…read more The curry was so flavorful and the pan fried momos were 10/10. The skin of the momos had a perfect texture and the fillings hit the spot. It's a small family owned spot in Astoria, but super close to the train! Our servers were very friendly and service was super quick. Will def be back!

Best Momos around!…read more If the title doesn't tell you everything, this review will. I found out about this place months ago and it was finally time to give it a try. My spouse and I are always down to find good momos, and this being close by and Tibetan cuisine, it was definitely a must. Ambience: It seats a decent crowd. It has nice Tibetan artwork and you feel the warmth from the owners. It's cozy and it felt great. Service: Top notch. I don't say this lightly. The server sat us down and was just so joyful. Her smile and demeanor made you feel welcomed. Brought us water and asked the usual and offered to explain any dishes. Now we are onto the good -- might I say great -- part. THE FOOD. We didn't order momos on our first visit. Food: My wife got the Himalayan Rice set (chicken) and I got the Rildok. We also got the Shabhaley -- from the description I thought it was literal meat. The Shabhaley, to put it, looks like an empanada. It was far from it in the best possible way. The pastry was crisp but soft and the beef filling was divine! Seasoned with so much flavor and it was paired with a beautiful sauce. The Rildok was exquisite. In my opinion -- I even told one of the servers, whom I now know is one of the owners, that the flavor profile reminded me of a cheeseburger, and it's my favorite new dish. The Himalayan Rice set was awesome. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The tingmo (like a bread) was soft and delicious, paired well with the chicken. The dal reminded me of my own homeland's dal. We've now been back here multiple times. My goal is to try the entire menu. The vegetable khoty momo was surprisingly my favorite, and I'm someone who loves meat. I've now had all the flavors and preparations of the momos, and you can't go wrong! This place is a gem. Their quality of food is top notch, and their actual aunties are in the back making this with so much love. I want everyone to try it. The owner and his staff are amazing and welcoming. They remembered me from my second visit, and that speaks volumes. They're all down to earth and it shows. The passion they have for their food and their kindness shines through. Parking: Can be rough depending on time of day.

I cannot say I was expecting the food to be this damn good out of a seemingly random Mexican place…read morethat just happened to be near where we were. I hadn't seen Tacos Gobernador on any Mexican restaurant menu before. These are sinaloan-style tacos, stuffed with the fresh shrimp abundant in the region. This is the second time I'm saying this in the first four sentences, but these were amazing. First of all - they were huge! Way larger than normal tacos, these tortillas stretch across the plate. The outsides are perfectly crisped up - these are kind of a mix between a soft & hard shell taco, but incorporating the best of both worlds. The amount of oil used in the grilling is perfect. What really makes these though, is the fillings. The shrimp is unbelievable - first of all, its the largest shrimp I've ever seen inside a taco. I mentioned how large these tacos are, but the shrimp bursts out of the top like a xenomorph out of a chest; there's little containment to be had here. These shrimp are seasoned astoundingly, turning practically a dark red from the spices used. Oh yeah, and the juiciness is just perfect. They are so well cooked. The other outstanding part is the cheese. The Oaxacan cheese is special - it's some of the best cheese I've ever had on a taco. Hot, soft, and stretchy with a perfect level of melting, it adds a crazy amount of flavor to each bite. The other toppings are solid, but some more onions would've helped I think. Also, the dipping sauce used is around average, and unnecessary. This was kind of expensive for 3 tacos - coming in at $25 before tax and tip. It was a ton of food though. Overall, a new variation of taco I think I'm absolutely in love with. 9.25/10

Came at 1 pm on a Sunday for lunch and got seated quickly. Chorizo torta and green sauce…read morechilaquiles with eggs were both excellent, though it took a really long time to get food. Would order delivery next time! 4.5 stars.

It can be a little confusing to find since it's a stand inside the market, not a separate store front. They carry a pretty wide variety of Asian flavor-inspired breads, pastries, cakes and cookies, including buns and some more dessert-type items. I checked out Progreso for an event this past weekend and ended up buying a few items to go: - matcha marble sponge cake $4.49: was fluffy, light and moist, good flavor of matcha and a light schmear of whipped cream in the middle. Would get this again! - taro cream puff $6.50: this was taro paste (? not sure if that's fully accurate though it felt more consistency of soft whipped taro than a traditional pastry cream) with whipped cream on top sandwiched by what I believe was choux pastry with craquelin. I think maybe because the this was sitting chilled/refrigerated for a while the top craquelin layer wasn't quite crispy anymore, though it looked nice. Personally it was a bit too much regular whipped cream, would've preferred more of a taro pastry cream. - mango pudding with fresh mango $6.50 mango flavor in the pudding was light though it was a nice tease of flavor. The texture was on the firmer side for puddings. The mangos were a bit oxidized though tasted ok, maybe glaze them or do something to maintain the color? Since this is a pretty new spot hope they could make a few improvements and blow it out of the park! I appreciated the owners' enthusiasm for sharing about their shop.

I'm definitely happy i visited Progreso cafe it is an amazing little cafe which was a little tricky to find because it's inside a market. The cafe was awesome, the food looked delicious the service was fast. The workers were extremely friendly, it was a great experience. I got the strawberry dragon it was absolutely fantastic and so so delicious. I have recently started getting into matcha and the drink had matcha with like strawberries in it. My first ever experience with a matcha strawberry combination. I'm definitely going to go to progreso cafe very soon again. I'm definitely going to try out more of the pastries. On top of pastries looking so good I'm also very curious about the meat buns. They have so many choices in progreso and I can't wait to try everything. All the drinks look so so good but Im definitely happy I got the strawberry dragon as my first but it won't be my last. If you like cafe pastries and meats buns please go and support progreso. For the people who will have a hard time finding it, it's located inside a market called koufuku market
