Late afternoon snack and latte with a friend was excellent. The leek pie was light and not at all oily like I've had before. The dining area is bright, very clean and comfortable. Pleasant and friendly service made the whole experience like a nice addition to this part of Astoria.

The lemon berry cake, tres leches, and bread pudding were all absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. Service with a smile made it the perfect spot to relax, linger, and enjoy every bite.

A fantastic little neighborhood bakery and cafe. Lovely location, absolutely stellar food, and delicious drinks, all for very fair prices. They recently opened, so go show them some love! I recommend the orange cake and the lemon ginger ice tea for warm sunny days.

It does not get better than this! It's a bakery but has more savory food with quick daily plates you can have- Greek style like baked chicken, stuffed peppers and the meat and spinach pies. I LOVE leek pie and this mini leek pie was incredible. The cappuccino was perfectly made, and the ambience could not be better, with space for people to lounge, chat with friends and enjoy good food and drinks on a quiet street.

Our favorite new neighborhood coffee shop! Food is better than any other local coffee place and the coffee is super. We will definitely be coming back regularly. We are excited to try their lunch options.

Words are not enough to describe how good this bakery is! Excellent Greek plates and pies, desserts, coffee, atmosphere and big, honest smiles from Meri and her family! A place like this was missing from Ditmars. Congrats and thank you! Nikos and Artemis

Relaxing atmosphere and friendliest staff. Tried the orange cake and it was heavenly. Great place if you’re looking for a calm place to get any projects done on your laptop, they have plenty of power outlets :)

Was looking for a place to do work with real food (not just pastries) and was pleasantly surprised by not only the food options (not just savory pies but also chicken, rice, stuffed peppers) but also the ambiance and outdoor seating. Wi-Fi worked well. Friendly service. Will be returning!
