Great vibe, great chai latte and matcha latte. Acai was good too just a little lumpy with the overnight oats but amazing sit down place to hang out with friends

Still one of my favorite coffee shops, but I've spent more time there as of late to study. It is a POPULAR study spot! There's plenty of seating but it can be hard to find a spot! There is an area for 4+ people, I usually only come here alone or with one other person but it is nice they have that as an option. Otherwise, there are plenty of tables intended for 2 people in the main area. There is ample seating outdoors as well, they have two tented areas as well. There's a decent amount of outlets available in the main cafe area, but only if you're sitting at the perimeter. The wifi is also great, no issues there. As far as drinks go - the hazelnut latte with oat milk remains my favorite hazelnut latte... maybe even of all time. Still rating a 5/5! I don't know what's so good about it but whatever they're doing is right. I have tried a few more drinks: Matcha latte - 4.5/5 - my matcha latte was rich and fresh, I was pleased! seems like good quality matcha, although I'm not an expert but it was good for my taste. Grey tea latte - 3.5/5 - a good option if you just want a small caffeine boost Misugaru latte - 4/5 - has some depth to it, a thicker latte, nutty, malty Strawberry lemonade - 1/5 - kind of hated this. the lemonade is a little carbonated, which I think is the main reason I didn't like it. It just didn't hit the spot for me. They also still have a healthcare worker discount, which is useful for me :)

First thing I noticed, and you can tell my age by this comment, is though they had music on, it was not any kind of loud rap or heavy bass music and it was so refreshing. Five stars for just this alone haha! The Cafe was packed at 9pm on a Saturday night. The woman behind the counter were friendly and helpful and the man who made my drinks was quick and efficient.. I liked that they did not have an extensive menu which makes things easier when deciding, and it's great that they also had sandwiches along side muffins, cake slices etc. A large iced mocha frappe, chicken salad sandwich, large hot cappuccino and a double chocolate chip muffin cost ~ $30, which is in line with prices in the area. They are opened into 11p, a little later than most cafes which close around 10p. Good experience overall.

Great place to grab a seat and chat with an old friend. It's a great spot for breakfast and the Acai Bowls are a must have. Come for coffee, come for breakfast, come anytime including dessert!

This place is always filled with students no matter what time and day...I don't get it. I've been here a few times now and their signature Grey Foam Latte (latte with black sesame foam) is usually my go-to, though it's pretty heavy but so worth coming for. I've only come during warmer months so haven't experienced the hassle of finding a seat indoors since I sit outside, though without a fail, the seats are usually filled up by students on their laptops in masses. They have extensive seating outside with a built outdoor seating area, though the bus stop in front can be super distracting and unpleasant to breathe. Cold brew is also nice and bold for a caffeine boost. Even though it's deep out in Queens, their prices are on the expensive side and you can expect to pay close to $10 for an iced drink with some milk variation.

Place has multiple room to chill and enjoy you drinks. There is a section that is only for 4+ ppl, there is the common area with lots of seating, there are couple of tables for two outside the coffee shop, and there is a booth for large outdoor seating with a blowing fan so that people dont die of the heat The coffee was alright but worth it since i came here to chill and enjoy the free wifi, there is free wifi btw! Definitely coming here in the future to chill and enjoy more the ambiance and the free wifi : )

Keepin it real out here in Flushing / Auburndale Been going to this spot since they were Browny. The vibe and the layout changed a lot but it's still a good reliable spot to get work done. The wifi were pretty bad at one point and looks like they've fixed it since then. The drinks are pretty decent with new drink options constantly. 2 bathrooms, good wifi, ok amount of outlets, music option is interesting at times, but overall solid solid cafe

Always busy and rightfully so. Great selection of drinks and bakery items. There is enough space for everyone but it's more crowded around the front counter. lced Black Sesame Latte 7/10 Good sesame flavor. The ice and milk would be better if it were creamier. kinda water down the flavor though. Cappuccino 7/10 The texture is perfect I'm just not a fan of the beans. For the coffee snobs: They use a La Marzocco machine for the espresso. The beans taste like a light roast. Low acidity. Slightly nutty flavor.

TLDR: THE cutest cafe I've ever been to in the heart of Queens! 13/10 for cafe vibes and service! If you are looking for a spot to be productive and socialize, this is the perfect place... The snacks are a bit pricey (PB&J is $5) but the ambiance makes up for it! Before you even walk in, you can tell from the exterior that it's a popular spot. There are so many cute outdoor covered spaces for you to be productive or chill with your friends. On the inside, there are sooo many coworking spaces! There's even a section upstairs for groups of 4 or more - this space includes a couch and a ton of other unique nooks :) I love the separation because it helps to control the noise level. If you want a quiet space, bring headphones. There were so many college students but that's what I loved because I felt like it was a safe space to be productive! There are so many sweet and practical snacks and bites like a PB&J, chocolate chip muffin, and mango smoothie! A must-visit spot in the heart of Queens that you can't miss out on!
