Booked 1 time today
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. We are proud to have been offering Avenue Cafe as your home away from home and hope to continue to serve you for more decades to come.

    This was our second afternoon tea at the Lowel. We enjoyed the first one and this time was equally fantastic. We arrived at the restaurant early as another function ended very early. They received us warmly and said if we wanted we could be seated immediately. Everyone was so kind and professional, the food and service were perfect. Much appreciation to all.

    I have always wanted to try Sojourn Social and I am glad I did! It was a Girls Nite Out and we just happen to make it there during Happy Hour. Sojourn has a great HH menu and prices are so reasonable. We were able to order the HH burger or HH friend/grilled chicken sandwich plus an alcoholic drink for $22 ... that's a great deal! We had the best waitress, Sammy, who was most accommodating for a friend with an egg allergy. She continuously checked with the kitchen to ensure no eggs were used in anything we ordered. The regular menu is so extensive that I plan to come back to try other selections.
