A gem in downtown Astoria. It's popular and there was around a 15-wait on a Sunday morning. There's a tent to wait under outside. My toasted everything bagel with cream cheese was the perfect combination of chewy and soft. We also got a honey bran muffin that was really tasty, and my partner loved his cinnamon roll.
Not only were the vegan dishes AMAZING but the pastries tasted like somebody's grandma just home cooked them!! So good, definitely going next time we come through!
First, the inside of this place is absolutely amazing! The food was great! (Got the yam burrito, both vegan macaroons and coffee cake! Alone with a chi and coffee) The employees where kind and patient. Topper they have pepper products that are compostable and or recyclable out side of a plastic fork!
I paid $5 for a 12oz iced Macchiato with a pump of caramel and I was handed two shots of espresso with milk froth in an 8oz cup. No ice. No caramel. I asked the short haired woman who served the coffee why it wasn't on ice and why it was 12oz and why it didn't have any caramel in it if I was going to be charged for it. She said "that s just how we make it." I understand if there is a certain way they make their coffee but I should not have charged extra for a drink I did not receive. Awful!
Definitely recommend this place! Stopped in to grab breakfast while in the area, and was so pleased with the quality of the food! I ordered a breakfast burrito, which was AMAZING! It was the perfect size to share, and was so delicious! We also bought some bread and pastries to take home. The almond bear claw was so delicious and not too sweet. Perfect with coffee! We will absolutely stop here again the next time we are in Astoria!
Good clean food. I came in for breakfast and enjoyed my yam burrito eaten outside at their little table.
Great if you are looking for veg options - mostly burritos and sandwiches. Reviews said their cardamom almond roll was awesome and yes, it did not disappoint. Pretty awesome.
I needed a healthy breakfast while I was out of town. I ordered the eggs on greens with toast. 5 minutes after I ordered everyone else in line in front of me had their food and was gone. It took another 15 minutes for the staff here to make 2 over easy eggs and 2 slices of toast. Pretty shocking considering I make pretty much this exact meal for myself every morning and can make it in 10 minutes (5 of which is heating the pan). Also kinda sad, got back to my hotel and didn't have any butter for my toast. The food was good but service was disappointing.
If you want vegetarian food then this place is okay, totally average, but it could be better. Even limited to vegetarian ingredients the breakfast sandwich lacked cheese and a proper biscuit - although the tomatoes were exceptionally good. On the bagel the cream cheese was... I don't know, liquidy? It all squished out, it wasn't edible held in my hands, I used a knife and fork. 40 minute wait.
Good coffee and bread. They are taking Covid-19 precautions seriously, which is a good thing btw.
