    When you are a cafe - you need to know how to make latte, not an ordinary coffee with milk !!! So disappointing !!!

    Love it. Service is excellent. My matcha was delicious. Place is very quiet for a nice talk with friends.

    We love the Balkan style ambiance haha. Felt like I was back home with the relaxing vibes. The girl behind the counter was super sweet & made such a good coffee! There's both indoor & outdoor seating! The gelato was really good, red velvet had to be my fav but the mango was a close second. They had a lot of pastries available, so of course I had to try the rainbow cookies - sadly they were dry which was disappointing but the gelato def made up for it! Will make this one of my go-to cafe's for sure!

    Corner cafe offering coffee, pastries, and gelato. I think this spot is fairly new and clean. Went around 8:30am and we have a few people sitting inside and outside. I mainly stopped by because a nearby cafe was not open. I could see myself bringing a book here if it's not crowded. Cozy and clean vibe. As for the pastries, I saw the egg tart, and it looked disappointing so I did not get it. Glad they had a chai latte, and it was okay. Saw they make it from a powder.

    Gelato

    Delicious and refreshing gelatos Cappuccino latte and espresso, full of rich flavors. Muffins, croissant and many variations of desserts to fulfill your palate. Teodora provided a welcoming smile and helpful customer service. The music and aroma from the coffee was enhancing to the ambience.

    Astoria certainly isn't lacking in choices for coffee shops but it's still nice to see when new ones pop up. With today's soft opening, Caffe Torino, joins the list of great coffee spots in the neighborhood. This coffee shop sits on the quiet corner of 42 Street and 34th Avenue; just a few blocks off the subway. They have a nice set up for outdoor seating that wraps around the corner. The décor inside features white marble floors, white shiplap walls, black framed windows, and gold accents. Not a very large space but it certainly feels serene and airy; a great place to sit and enjoy a cuppa. Today was their trial run and only had limited items available. Drinks (hot and cold) and some pre-packaged pastries for today. Gelato will be offered some time next week, after their official grand opening. I decided to get a cappuccino and a sugar waffle. It was perfect for today's cold weather. I loved that they use Lavazza coffee; one of the top Italian coffee brands. The drink was strong and full of flavor. Smooth and not bitter; it tasted so lovely. I will definitely be back but might wait until they've ironed out their menu. The coffee alone is worth the trip back but I am hoping they will also have better offerings of pastries.

    Wonderful, relatively new cafe in Astoria. The interior is sleek and inviting and there are several tables outside as well. On a nice day, the windows were wide open. I recently tried their gelato -- I had a little scoop of strawberry and hazelnut, both of which were delicious! There were little pieces of hazelnut in the creamy mix. Overall a great little spot to meet friends and neighbors, enjoy gelato, pastries, or coffee, or get some work done. Kind baristas and a breezy ambiance.

    And they are off to a great start -very impressed! We stopped by this new cafe a few weeks ago I learned about their opening through a FB post and we just had to check them out When we arrived, virtually all the seating was taken, and many customers were shipping and consuming teas and coffees. It was late in the afternoon, and we ordered herbal tea and regular coffee for me. Though they do not have many options yet, their signature crepes make them stand out from the regular cafes that open up in the area. Each crepe is filled with fruit and is delicious. The manager behind the counter was friendly and professional. A positive and welcoming attitude goes along way. Finally, it was time to meet the owner and congratulate him too! I will be back!

    Cute little corner cafe with lots of light and marble finishes! The coffee is great and the staff very nice. There is limited seating inside but there are plenty of more outside! Good place for to work as there are lots of outlets to use!

They have a table to pickup preorders so you don't have to wait in the main line. I ordered a dozen for $39. You can select your assortment. Here's my review in order from the best to the least desirable, according to our group. Vanilla custard- the filling was thick and speckled with vanilla beans. It wasn't too sweet. This was the best according to our group. Strawberry filled- this is most traditional and Breads Bakery does a nice job. The jam is homemade. Pistachio- this doughnut was filled with smooth pistachio cream and was topped with a few pieces of pistachio. Not traditional, but they did a good job. Chocolate- the filling tasted like a semisweet or bittersweet cream/custard. Like the others, it was smooth. The vanilla was more popular among our group and I personally didn't love this doughnut. Mango- this was the one that those in my group felt missed the mark. It wasn't cloyingly sweet, so that was good, but the filling didn't do anything for us either. If you're looking for a mango dessert the one at Lysée is a real winner.

When I moved to the UES, I was worried finding a new local roaster. I've had bad experiences where the beans are too oily or something is off that messes with my usually grind size/extraction time. No issues with Oslo's beans. 2. They actually know how to make a proper americano. Every coffee shop takes a standard cup, puts in the espresso shot, and then fills hot water to the brim of the cup. This destroys the flavor of the espresso. You end up with hot water that tastes slightly like coffee. Oslo chooses quality over quantity. They don't fill the water up to the brim, so you have a cup with 2/3 of liquid; however, this is a proper americano. You can taste the difference. At other shops, I just get drip coffee because they don't know what they're doing. Oslo knows what they're doing. That's why I come here.

Unfortunately, it was totally bland and not large at all. The side sauce added nothing and over 30$ with tax/tip. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta and the guazzetto di Pesci. The pasta was good. Reasonable amount of pasta but we would have liked some more chunks of lobster for the price. I thought the sauce was only ok but my girlfriend liked it. The guazzetto di Pesci was only fair. The sauce was lacking flavor. Also a very small bowl of broth with maybe 3 small shrimp and muscles, a few small chunks of fish. and two sad, tiny pieces of bread on the side. Since we were still quite hungry after the meal, we ordered the lotus chocolate caramel dessert. This was the only dish we really liked. kinda hard to mess up gelato though. It came with a hard outer candy shell and a very small cookie center that was sweet and delicious. Overall, an average meal at best that we both felt was lacking in taste and size. Won't return.

They did bring out complimentary bread, which was appreciated, though it felt like something that should be standard rather than a highlight. One item someone in our group wanted -- the octopus burger -- was unfortunately unavailable, which was disappointing, especially given that it was brunch and still relatively early in the day. That said, the dishes we did order were good and well prepared. The space itself is nice: the front functions as a cute coffee shop, while the back has tables for sit-down dining. Because of that setup, the vibe feels more casual, but the menu offers solid options. Overall, it was a good experience, just not a great one -- a decent brunch spot, but nothing that blew us away.
