Established in 2003, we started as a small cafe and bar with great coffee, snacks, and pizzas. People loved spending time in the café enjoying our frappes or conversing with our friendly staff, so we decided an expansion was in order. In 2006 the first expansion began until our current completed renovation in 2019. We're still serving great coffee, cocktails, and pizza, and have our selection of fresh dishes to choose from that is currently in the works of expanding when our kitchen's renovation reaches its final completion. So come on by, stay awhile, and enjoy all of the beautiful things this Astoria gem has to offer.

Nice lunch experience. We met friends at 1pm and were seated at a table in the back corner as requested. We were able to hear one another above the din, especially after most of the lunch crowd left. We ordered burgers and salads and all came out to our liking. The service was good as well.

This is a must see and do experience. We had so much fun in our two staff members guiding us through the experience were fantastic. They were hilarious, knowledgeable, and made everything just so wonderful plus you get to have a nice drink once you’re done making it. I highly recommend.
