    Our lattes
    Jennifer O.

    I happened to pass by this cafe on Saturday and did a U-turn to stop in. It was huge and I've never seen it before (well I don't frequent Rockaway blvd so I guess that's why ℓoℓ). Anyway, the decor is too cute, it's clean. And after speaking to the staff they say that all proceeds go to fighting injustices of the world. Let's get to the goodies tho. I got a snickerdoodle oatmilk latte o it was DELICIOUS. I got 2 birthday macaroons & a creme brulee which was also good. Everything I had was great and would certainly go back.

    Must try coffee shop on Rockaway. Vast menu with delicious drinks and food. Ample setting which is good as you can sit and enjoy your purchase. Only issue the day I visited is that they seemed short staffed. The very helpful cashier was also cleaning the tables and sometimes serving but through it all she was still pleasant which was great!

    Very comfy and convenient. Food was fresh, hot and tasted like it was made with love. Can't ask for more than that! Coffee was 10/10 flavorful and rich. Service was premium, smiles all around and really felt like we were welcomed. Chai was a tad on the sweeter side but still had a spice bite to it.

    i got The Big B.E.A.C.H Wafflewich + Nutella Latte :)

    Great cafe to come and work. I was able to plug my laptop in, eat breakfast, drink some tea and have my virtual meetings in peace. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating. The food is delicious . They recommended the waffles and it indeed was yummy. I hate the Caramel Oreo frappe- taste sooooo good! Very comfortable place to sit in. I highly recommend.

    Vanilla latte

    One star for the decor and staff being friendly. The tables are cleans and the menu options are very inviting (different flavored lattes), however my food felt cold. Toast was not toasted and I ordered whole wheat toast and was given plain white bread what seemed soaked in butter. The eggs were not very good either. The vanilla latte was just okay, but did not feel super hot just warm.

    Always a go to for good breakfast and amazing coffee and drinks

    Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich

    Bacon egg and cheese on a croissant, FIRE!! Good service. The lady was sweet. Definitely coming back. Cute chill spot as well.

    Strawberry Milk Tea

    The cafe is adorable. Great place for coffee or boba tea. The bagel was good and the service was excellent. Was not thrilled with the Big BEACH sandwich. It was fresh, but lacked avocado and I didn't like the hot honey and the bacon was too raw for me. The sandwich was served with chips, would have been better with a side salad. Good quality but it's a bit pricey. Like another review stated, it's a great local neighborhood spot, I am not local so I will not return.

    Strawberry and Nutella Crepe-delicious!!!

    Ate at this cute little cafe near JFK airport after coming in on a red-eye flight. It's in an old neighborhood within a mixture of businesses. The menu is limited, but the offerings cover many breakfast cravings. My family and I ordered a bagel and scrambled eggs, a veggie omelet and an Eiffel Tower crepe that had strawberries and Nutella. Everyone was happy with their breakfasts. Flavors of the food were good and service was happy and helpful. It was a nice place to stop in after a long flight. Seems to be a favorite among locals.

    What an unexpected surprise coming from this little shop of joy. Traveling for business and needed something that checks every box for my team. Breakfast, coffee and pastries. Deliciously prepared and great presentation. The team was surprised for the amount of flavors in their pancakes, eggs and crepes. And of course I made myself a new lover and coffee connoisseur by trying his first Nutella mocha latte. Will certainly visit when I'm in town again. Top notch little coffee shop.

    I have never been to a buffet like this before, but I will be wishing we had one in Alabama forever…read morenow. The lamb chop was so juicy, the Mac n cheese was amazing, and the oxtail was so tender! You pay by the weight & which meat you pick.

    At 7pm on a Friday, I Dashed 2 salmon meals with 2 sides each & a drink ($68). They called to say…read morethe drink I ordered was sold out, so we agreed to a replacement. The food &drink arrived but it's only 2 pieces of salmon. I complained & received a $8 refund- $2 per side I didn't receive was the explanation. If you can call me to say the drink sold out, why couldn't you also tell me that the sides I ordered were also sold out. I ended up cooking some rice and veggies to go with the salmon. I don't know how a restaurant that is supposed to be open 24hrs runs out of sides at 7pm. Even after that we decided to give another chance the Saturday & walk-in. Its an unorganized buffet style restaurant. Most of the food was not labeled or mislabeled. The last straw with me was they put shrimp in the Mac n cheese and it wasn't labeled. The cashier from the front passing by had to say Oh there's shrimp in the Mac and I said oh TY! (My hubby is allergic and was definitely heading for it so I told him not to). There were 2 girls sitting on a bench (who looked like the cashier's friends) told her, you don't have to tell them. If they have a food allergy they should ask. It's on them. The cashier from the back said it's not labeled so I felt I should tell them. The friend again said, It's up to them to ask I'll never go back bc they are not going to kill my husband! I Do NOT recommended
