It had a relaxing vibe with beautiful plants and flowers throughout the space. At the register, Sandi greeted me.

Totally a fan! It was my first visit with my buddy and fellow Yelper Jo I. The environment and…read moreaesthetic is a much welcomed concept in Queens. Walking in, you see green, lots of it in the form of lush plants and flowers everywhere. There is no over powering scents and the high ceilings do make the space feel open and calm. The counter to order is closer to the rear of the store and there's plenty of cafe style seating and communal seating all around. In warmer months, they put small tables and chairs outside on the sidewalk. The artisanal coffee here is what sets them apart. Bold flavor choices, robust and velvety varieties. Many options to choose from, check out the menu pics. I had the Americano and loved it. We also ordered hot food while hanging out. As they are popular for brunch, Jo and I shared the lemon curd blueberry pancakes as well as the savory salmon lox pancake. We likely over ordered but didn't mind, as we're always open to trying more dishes. The lemon curd blueberry was our favorite. I liked that there was extra lemon curd on the side and the blueberries were fresh. They were lightly dusted with powered sugar and thankfully not bathed in syrup. It was a light and satisfying dish even though it was pancakes. Didn't feel heavy at all. The ice cream was a nice touch so you could consider this as a dessert. The lox and eggs were really good as well. Those pancakes were topped with tomato, greens and avocado. Like a full meal on a plate. So glad we shared everything. I'd totally recommend a dine in experience so you can try the food once it's prepared. We both bought sandwiches to go for our family and those held up well considering it needed to be transported home. I recommend the ham and cheese croissant sandwich.

Often, food outshines any other element during a trip to a cafe or restaurant. When I think back to…read moreour must recent visit here though, I'm reminded again and again how pleasant the staff were. It took us a while to decide on what to buy partly because we were buying also for our friends. Naturally, we were asked relatedly by at least the different staff if we needed help or if we were ready to order. Each time, they seemed genuinely want to help, and made us feel welcome with their smiles and gentle demeanor. For myself, the pistachio muffin was totally satisfying and I confirm they did not slump on the nuts. The crunchy eclair was a BIG hit with our friends, and the rest is kind of a blur but I know we enjoyed everything we tried. We'd go back without hesitation. I hope they keep up the great work.

Definitely one of the best French Bakery in Queens area or even in NYC!! Everything was good!…read more Location: It is located around the corner of 39th avenue and bell boulevard. The restaurant/bakery is big with lot of seating. Great display of cakes, pastries and breads. Street parking is available. Service: the nicest people. Food: all of their cakes, pastries and breads aew amazing. But two of my favorites are: DUKE: definitely a must! Its chocolate cake with I believe a cookie crust inside. It comes in cubes so definitely easier to share. CRUNCHY: this is the very must!! It's chocolate mouse inside with layers of other chocolates. Plus with nuts on it. It's like a ferrero but bigger! Price rating: 7/10. It was not expensive a good cake. I always buy cake here for special occasions or even if I am craving cakes. Visit this, its worth it!

The tables are close enough and small enough to hear what your neighbors are saying to each other, imagine what they think of you? LOL I noticed speaker music was playing a bit louder then the last time I was there. The fact that patrons have to shout over each other while sharing speaker music doesn't help with the ambience of enjoying a delicious cake over an interesting conversation. I ordered something new this time, a delicious lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Why didn't I see that description on my check? Strange. I also visited their website online, and noticed a lot of Stock Ai made photos and videos. I even found the website hard to navigate as well because it wasn't loaded with actual cakes and up to date pricing. So quite honestly the online website wasn't helpful with what they had in the shop. * Perhaps a future improvement between tables might be an above head moveable divider which actually could provide some privacy. Something I guarantee would be way more inviting than the current seating arrangement. The Review Guru Long Island NY

We mentioned to the owner that it was her birthday, and to our surprise, while we were waiting for our drinks, she came over with a macaron topped with a birthday candle. Such a sweet, thoughtful gesture that made our day even more special. This is such a quaint, unique place with a calming, welcoming atmosphere. I absolutely love the Victorian décor and all the beautiful handmade items displayed throughout the shop--I only wish they were for sale! The sandwiches are excellent too. I had them during a previous visit with friends, and they were just as wonderful as I remembered. I can't say enough good things about Camellia Bell. It's truly one of the best places on Bell Boulevard, and a place I'll happily return to again and again. Highly recommended!

I am very picky with coffee because I am a big coffee fanatic and always trying different coffee shops, but I absolutely fell in love here. The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, and has a beautiful antique style. It is a small space, but so cute and inviting. There is a few seats inside and some outdoor seating as well, which makes it really nice to enjoy your drink. The barista was so helpful and informative. Any questions I had, she answered, and it really added to the experience. I ordered the chestnut latte, an iced latte, and the purple yam cookie. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chestnut latte was amazing. I didn't even realize it wasn't coffee at first, but it was made with freshly ground chestnuts and it tasted warm, cozy, and Christmasy. The iced latte was perfect, smooth, and not bitter at all. My coffee tasted sweet and flavorful even before adding any sweetener. The purple yam cookie was also incredible. Everything is baked in-house, which I really appreciate because you can taste the quality. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and I definitely feel like it is worth it. I cannot wait to go back and try the purple yam latte next. This is hands down one of the best coffee experiences I have ever had. I will definitely be coming here more often.

We had a reservation and were seated right away. The service was good, and the seating was comfortable. The restaurant filled up while we were eating, which shows how popular it is. I tried their sushi for the first time and ordered the keizen don bowl. The raw fish was extremely fresh, the assortment was excellent, and the special tea-flavored seasoned rice added a unique touch. The portion was generous, and I left satisfied. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be coming back.

I thought the ramen was just mediocre and the chashu was very hard to chew. The noodles was pretty good. There was a good amount of ikura, king crab, and avocado included. I originally wanted the Sashimi Set but they didn't have uni that day. They would have just subbed it with something else so I didn't think it was worth the $55. I also tried the Tochucha Yuzu Lemonade which was good but not amazing. I didn't know what all the hype was over tochucha because it wasn't very memorable for me.

Very small inside, they have a kiosk to order from or you can order at the register and has two seats to sit right next to the door. Walked in and said hello, but did not receive acknowledgement from the staff. There were several working and it appeared they were busy with online orders (we were the only people in the store at the time). But definitely could improve when it comes to having customers feel welcome upon entering. Ordered off the kiosk; jasmine milk iced matcha and a mango mochi milk tea coming to just over $16 with tax. Got both with 50% sugar (recommended amount for the mango mochi tea). Had music playing while waiting. When the order was ready, one of the staff called the drinks out loud and provided straws to break into the lids with. The jasmine milk tea was refreshing and very floral, not my preferred taste as it was very very floral in flavor. Can definitely taste the matcha though. Mango mochi had chunks of mango in it and good amount of sweetness. I may come back to try their coconut iced matcha, but certainly not running back due to lack of staff attention and okay drinks.

We had their Earl Grey and Pistachio panna cotta. We also had their matcha with drinkable mochi. The panna cotta had good flavor but the texture is not as creamy or smooth as the best panna cotta.

Definitely more interesting in concept than execution.
