She made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. What really stood out was how kind and understanding she was with my mom, especially since my mother has some difficulty speaking English. Cassie took the time to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and make sure everything was exactly how my mom wanted it. Her professionalism and warm personality made my mother feel comfortable and appreciated. The level of customer service she provided was exceptional, and it truly turned the whole process into a pleasant experience. Thank you, Cassie, for going above and beyond!

My hubby had found this little gem last year and we decided to take a little trip this past…read moreweekend. Not a bad drive from mid-Queens, it was about 20-30 minutes out of our way. While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!

I went with a large 3 flavor cup and chose rainbow cookie, cannoli and s'mores. The rainbow cookie was my favorite of the three. And they put a little tiny cone on top which was cute.

The term "Paris Syndrome" describes a psychological state of severe shock experienced by tourists…read more(in particular, first time visitors to Paris) who suffer immense disappointment from unmet expectations. Taste of Paris is not actually that bad. But it is pretty weird. The vibe is less Parisian cafe than hostile architecture. For one thing, there's a hole in the ceiling. It is not small. It's basically an entire missing ceiling tile. Like, there may be some kind of repair project or remodel going on? For another thing, it's rather dark for a coffee shop. It's dimly lit with very little natural light. And the walls seem green screen ready. Jarringly sparse but would make a great Teams background. All that said, the coffee is decent. I ordered off menu. A flat white, no sugar, no syrup. And it was solid. Which, in sum, leaves me at three stars. Two or below if you're drinking in, but maybe four if you're grabbing to go.

Taste of Paris Coffee House (Floral Park) is one of those secret spot places -- a true…read morehole-in-the-wall, diamond in the rough that you'll drive past a hundred times and then wonder how you ever lived without it. Small shop, big payoff -- quick, clean, and the drinks come out looking like they belong in a photoshoot (the can-style iced coffees are a vibe). Gov's take: the Crème Brûlée Latte is the star. Smooth, dessert-like without being sugary, and it keeps that espresso backbone. The iced coffee/cold brew is strong, cold, and actually tastes like coffee (not melted ice and regret). Menu is easy to scan and they've got a solid lineup of flavors, plus grab-and-go energy that's perfect when you're passing through Hillside. Only knock: it's tight inside and parking can be annoying depending on the time. Rating: 4.5/5 -- I'm coming back, and I'm bringing a friend who "doesn't like coffee."

It is not easy to find gluten-free cakes, let me tell you, but this place has them. And for that,…read moremy wife and I are extremely thankful. They cost a pretty penny, but I'm able to present my lovely wife, who has a gluten allergy, with a cake for her birthday every year now. This bakery caters to pretty much every dietary restriction actually. We're just lucky to have such an accommodating place so close to our home. Service is great, staff is friendly. They let you put down a deposit and show you the completed cake before you walk out with it. We've already bought 3. Was pleased with every one. If you're a baked good lover with a food allergy or dietary requirement, definitely check this place out.

Wanted to support this small halal-friendly business because the concept has potential, but the…read moreexperience felt a little underwhelming overall. When I walked in, I only got a quick "hi" and wasn't really acknowledged until after another customer was helped. To be fair, there was only one employee working and she seemed to be doing her best, so this felt more like a management issue than an employee problem. The biggest disappointment was being told they were out of the white/yogurt sauce after I already paid for the momos. That sauce is kind of essential to the dish, so it made the experience feel incomplete. Inventory and communication could definitely be improved. The deal was advertised as 16 it was closer to 18. The atmosphere also felt very empty and quiet. I honestly think this place would benefit from more community events, poetry nights, music, or something to bring more life and energy into the space. I still appreciate what they're trying to do and I do want to support small culturally diverse businesses. There's potential here, but right now the experience feels a bit subpar and unpolished. I'd still come back in the future to see if things improve.

They even have board games for customers, so it's an appropriate spot if you'd like to chill with your friends! I went with my friend and we got the Veggie Momo ($12), the Paneer Momo ($13) and drinks. The Momos are shareable and each order has 8 pcs, along with hot sauce, sweet chili sauce and a yogurt sauce for dips. My favorite dip was the sweet chili sauce. I was pretty excited for the Paneer Momos and they didn't disappoint me. We also got the Iced Passion Fruit Green Tea and the Kulfi Falooda Milk Tea with Boba ($8.85, you need to pay an extra $1 for the Boba). I tried the Kulfi Falooda and it had strong floral flavors that felt a bit overpowering for me. It didn't taste bad and was definitely a new experience. Once the ice melted, it diluted the drink and then tasted better.

So pleased with my experience here! I was so happy to see a rolled ice cream place in long island,…read moreand i was not disappointed. The oreo ice cream was so good and I loved the whipped cream on top. Also, the workers were so nice and caring. They freshly made a batch of 24 cookies for us on the spot!! It took only 15 minutes but i got an amazing deal - 24 cookies for only $24! It was one of the best prices I've seen for freshly based cookies in the New York area. The cookies were so warm and yummy too. There were so many unique flavors of ice cream on the menu, i want to come back for the matcha rolled ice cream. The interior was also really nice- a cute place to hang out with friends, and the place even has a bathroom. There were board games inside like Uno, Jenga, and Bananagrams.

Me and my daughter both tried the Namaste ice cream. I had a small with caramel topping and my daughter had a medium with caramel and slivered almonds. The medium seems like a large. The Namaste is strawberry cheescake flavored. It had an interesting texture with small curds since it was cheesecake flavored. I didn't know we can make and ask for our own flavors until I looked at the reviews of this place after I had ordered. If there is a next time I would choose either a plain strawberry with fresh strawberry topping, or a plain coffee flavor. Customer service was top notch and included a smile . Keep up the great work!

For those who are not aware: Layers is a Pakistani bakeshop chain that is absolutely delicious!…read more The Elmont location is quite small, and more of a grab and go situation, but the variety of flavors is truly unique. Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!

Sam was perfection from the start of the meal to the finish. She had the best vibes and attitude and wore the coolest looking Van's. Her customer service skills outshine many other waitstaff that I've encountered in the past month. Sam is another Great addition to the already amazing team the Witches Brew employs

Long overdue visit to WBCH today with my partner, and it was everything I hoped for. We only got…read morehot drinks - a delicious hot Black Cat with lots of peanut butter, not too sweet, and my partner loved his hot Black Magic - but we are determined to come back soon to try their desserts and lunch items too. We're not vegan, but as vegetarians we love vegan restaurants that have figured out how to make deliciousness out of plant-based foods. As tasty as the drinks were, it's really the vibe that I love. So random to find a place like this in our relatively normie area - maybe we can even find other weirdos like ourselves who also feel at home in a place that celebrates spooky fun like WBCH does.
