This place is such a hidden gem and needs to be on everyone's radar!…read more I have been on a mission to try everything on their menu and believe me when I say that everything is just that delicious!! The breakfast croissants are made daily and they do not disappoint. They're buttery, flaky and depending on which one you get, so cheesy! I'm also a sucker for the brownies and cookies because who wouldn't be?! The service is absolutely amazing and always so welcoming when I stop by. I can't say enough good things about The Avenue Cafe!

I found my new coffee spot for whenever I'm in the area now! I had this place bookmarked for a…read morewhile now but because of the cold weather lately and parking being extremely limited in this area, I didn't get a chance to check it out until this week. Jamaica Ave is known to locals of Jamaica Queens as "The Ave" so I thought that naming this place "The Avenue Cafe" was a really nice touch. The Avenue Cafe is definitely a hidden gem. I believe the small number of reviews is primarily due to its location. Tucked away in a food court which could only be accessed through an alley on Jamaica Ave or a side street (160th St), this cafe was not easy to find. Although the food court it is located in is no-frills, The Avenue Cafe actually put effort in establishing an inviting aesthetic that made me feel no different than if I were walking in my usual cafes in the city and I really liked that. The staff were courteous and they make your order quick! Best of all, they take card and Apple Pay (I didn't have cash on me that day and I was aware that just about every stall in that food court is Cash-Only). I only had their cold brew thus far but I'll absolutely be back to try the other items on the menu.

I wanted to like this place more than I currently do…read more Don't' get me wrong - it's still good enough for me to return if I'm already in the area and hungry. But here are the misses: - empanadas aren't that great - bread options also not that great - stop serving fresh juices early in the afternoon - service could be more friendly - needs better dessert options Aside from these drawbacks, the hot dishes are great, as well as their soups - and are definitely among the better options in this side of Jamaica, Queens. Usually there's also plenty of seating, and the area is clean.

Stopped by to pick up a few empanadas, and they were pretty steady for lunch with many dining in. The lovely lady at the cashier was friendly and welcoming. I had a short wait for the cheese empanada and left also with a chicken and beef empanada. They were pretty good, I love Colombian empanadas because they put potato. Of course cheese is always a winner, and out of the meat empanada, I liked the chicken best. Super cute and reasonably priced.

I can't believe, that coming here for lunch so many times, and I did not bother to leave a review…read more I love this cafe. It's like turning on a meditation mode as I stepped in every time. They are a supporter of peace run and Sri Chinmoy Oneness. All the staff is wearing a traditional outfit from India as uniform. Songs and music are playing and allowing customer to have a true relaxation both physically and mentally. The staff here are nice and friendly. I can hardly find a place like that in NYC. I acknowledged my favorite dish, Mozzarella Nirvana with avocado is off the menu, and I have no choice to not study the menu u again. I see that many eggs and omelette options is been added. They also offer daily special with soup and salad. I picked the Lentil soup with Kale this time. The kale added mineral to the originally nutritious lentil soup and it blended really well.the tomatoes tase is well balanced and made my recently weakened gut very happy. The little multigrain bun added satisfaction to the whole meal. I did not regret coming today and I am truly happy physically and mentally. Calvin

This was my second time dining here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it once again…read more After enjoying a delicious meal paired with a fantastic all-jazz performance, I'm already looking forward to coming back. I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

When I walked in there were a lot of people waiting but I overheard the wait was 5 minutes for a party of 2 so it sounds like the table turnover is fast.

So much so that I had to take some of my pancakes home because I couldn't finish them. It's been a few hours and I'm still full. Nice bang for my buck! The staff was friendly and attentive.
