    Decided on Better Half Kitchen to start the day and get some work done. The space is quite small, with just three tables outside and a few seats by the window indoors. Their drink menu is especially distinctive, with an impressive range of options like an ube matcha latte with coconut cloud, guava matcha latte, ube hojicha latte with mocha, and even a red bean matcha latte. There is definitely no shortage of creativity here - love to see that!! I ordered the iced ube hojicha for $9 (a bit pricey but I was willing), and my sister and I both agreed that it tasted like cereal milk. I wish the ube or even the hojicha element was stronger, since it did come across a bit bland. Not my favorite drink, but I could still appreciate the care behind it. The preparation felt very deliberate, and it was clear the staff takes pride in creating a thoughtful experience. They sift + hand-mix the hojicha, top it off with freshly whipped cream, and do a cool patterned design on the foam cap, which made the whole process feel especially meticulous. Overall, 3.8/5. Maybe I chose the wrong drink this time around. I also wish their ube latte is just pure ube and no coffee - it's kind of rare to see that type of mix in the city.

    Iced Latte

    Iced latte. They fill the cup to the brim with the milk and ice THEN pour in the espresso. What do you get? An iced cup of milk with maybe some espresso flavor. If this is what you like. To each their own.

    Iced Ube Latte

    We were in Elmhurst killing time before lunch and decided to get coffee. Small spot. Busy inside as well. I got a cold brew which was strong and black. My Daughters got an Ube latte and an Ube matcha with coconut cloud. Both drinks were tasty. If I was in the area this place was worth a repeat visit. Out door seating available as inside has none other than a shelf/counter with stools.

    Chopped Cheese

    Cute, lowkey coffee shop with some indoor seats & plenty of outdoor seating. Ordered the chopped cheese sandwich & it was incredible! It was a really good size & I didnt feel guilty eating it afterwards. Will definitely be coming back & aiming to try everything on their menu! Staff was really warm and welcoming!

    Brown Sugar Iced Latte

    The brown sugar latte here was kinda mid, could barely taste the brown sugar. However, their guava matcha tasted phenomenal, was just pretty expensive for matcha, around $10. Service is quick. There are only a few bar seats available inside and maybe some seating outside if the weather is nice. Otherwise, more of a grab and go cafe.

    BEC
    Christian Z.

    Cute little coffee shop. Read about their "BEC". Thought it was all hype bc let's face it, NYerd have their bias. But this did not disappoint. The eggs was stacked full of flavor. The brioche offered the perfect sweetness and salt. Will come back.

    Seasonal Melon Matcha

    Really cute cafe in the neighborhood! I like how they have seasonal drinks and their matcha is delicious. Service was quick and I would come back to try more of their items.

    Food: Food and drinks are excellent here! We tried the ube coconut latte, chopped cheese, and jerk chicken quesadilla. The ube coconut latte was so good and not sweet at all. I am looking forward to trying other drinks from there. They have a variety of lattes and refreshers on their menu. The chopped cheese was excellent quality and something I would order again. It was tasty and moist. The jerk chicken quesadilla wasn't anything special and a bit underwhelming. I wouldn't order this one again. I wish the cheese was a bit more melted and served hotter. Service: Staff were amazing and super friendly. Lovely staff! Ambiance: The cafe is very small, but there are about four counter seats along the window, a little bench inside in the cafe, and two tables with chairs outside in front of the cafe. It's a nice cafe to do some work in and enjoy your drink. Overall, I would highly recommend this cafe!

    Wanted to get their avocado toast but at 4pm, kitchen was already closed! Wondering why so early when they close at 6pm. Too bad. Tried their Ube coconut cloud, iced (addtl $1) so around $9, kind of pricey. I did enjoy it- like a thin milkshake consistency; and the cloud was the best part for me. Caffe latte was ok. Staff was nice although made an error when charging us, good thing my husband was paying attention (more than I was), and was corrected. Small area indoors, nice and clean decor. Some seating indoors by the window, and outdoors - covered with umbrella. No restroom. Street parking - metered and around the residential areas.

    Iced Ube Latte
    Lily L.

    This cute little shop is definitely worth the visit if you are around this area. The staff are nice and friendly and are accommodating as well. I currently am not having caffeine and they were very nice to direct me to how they can make my drink caffeine free. I got the ube latte which I really liked. It wasn't too sweet but also I understand why they put a shot of espresso inside, I just wish they had a decaf option. I also got the apple turnover (not pictured) but this I actually did not enjoy. Maybe I need to try some of their other parties but the apple filling was a little sour which was off putting and there were no chucks of apple. It felt like a pastry filled with sour apple sauce. I will be back to have more of their drinks and maybe give their pastries another chance.

    Iced Witches Brew (Contains Dairy)

    Got an iced matcha and the witch's brew that's ube and matcha and they were pretty good. I have to try the food next time. Cute little place. Staff was friendly.

    Avocado toast
    Polly H.

    Adorable spot! It is small and cozy with about 4 seats and a long counter, no bathroom, and a few staff members working. The food is worth though. I had their doughnuts, their avocado toast, their bacon egg and cheese brioche, and also their lattes. All of the items that I ever ordered were delicious. The ladies who work here are kind as well.

    Hot Latte
    Elaine C.

    Great cafe spot for quick coffee and bite. Will say the sandwich was expensive as well as my drink both were ~$11 each but small business and hard times so I'll give it to them. Service is good and very cute vibes. Would definitely come back and try the guava latte next time.

    The food was a tad bland, I would give it a 3.5 if I could. Burrito is smaller than expected equivalent to something you'd get at Tacobell.

They offer a different special for any day of the week, first time around on a Thursday Margaritas special , Tamarind & Mango nice big glass great margaritas, good tasty & nice & strong They start u off with some cake pieces, has a banana bread taste very good. Apps , we tried the Tostones con Birria very good great tasting meat & Chorizo Mac & cheese , also very good. Main dishes , Al pastor tacos & Chicken Burrito were both very good. Next time we stopped by for brunch, we got the bottomless option tried the Sangrita white, good sangrita price wise makes sense assuming u drinking more than 3-4 glasses a person. On the food Carnitas Benedict & short rib hash were both very tasty. For dessert gave the Tres Leches a try not bad, just the right amount of sweet. Another brunch visit & we tried Paloma spritz, good & Mexican coffee, pretty strong in taste. Chicken & waffles topped with bacon, very good chicken good combo dish. & the Lady's enchiladas great taste the enchiladas w the green sauce & cheese on top. Good size restaurant, small bar area towards the back, simple but colorful decor. Service overall has been good, they are attentive. Reasonable prices & u get a decent amount of food.

Everything had great flavor, and the refreshing Jamaica was the perfect drink (on a hot day) to go with the tacos. The service was great too. We were there at an off-peak time so it was quiet with a few other customers so the ambiance was nice. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!

    Mom's in Astoria was excellent for a delicious hearty brunch in a diner-style atmosphere…read more There are tables inside and under an awning on the sidewalk. They also have a temporary shed for the summer, for additional outdoor seating. For my meal, I had a pancake burrito, and it was better than I could have expected. The pancake was so fluffy and tasty, with a hint of crisp on the outside and a nice chewy texture overall. The savory components of the burrito worked surprisingly well with the pancake exterior, making for a medley of sweet, salty, and umami that went really well together in every bite. Our server was excellent, can't say enough about how good the brunch was. I definitely recommend this place!

Drinks: dad-mosa, red sangria, mango margarita and a passionfruit margarita. They cooked the bacon well done(crispy) the way it's suppose to be not that attempt to have it crispy( ifykyk). I wish the drinks were a little stronger but they were good nonetheless. The server was great. The place gave an old school save by the bell vibes very cute. They have happy hour starting at 3pm during the week. The bathrooms are clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We went on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't packed at all. Will def go back to try their desserts.
