    Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese
    Ka C.

    Located between Rego and Forest Hills, Bagel Chef is an unassuming corner bagel place with bagels made in house. I stopped by for my usual everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagel was perfectly toasted with just the right amount of topping where it doesn't cause a cascade of flying debris with each bite. The cream cheese is light and on the fluffier side. Note there are no mini sizes, just standard sized bagels. They also have good coffee (both regular and decaf, hot and iced) and most importantly they take card with no stated minimum! There is some seating inside, and staff are welcoming and friendly. Local bagel spots deserve the hype too, and as much as I'd love to line up for [insert popular bagel joint], this place fills my bagel fix nicely.

    I got the healthy human omelette which was good but was little dry and very thin definitely possibly the thinnest omelette I've had in a long time. It says it's made with 3 eggs but definitely didn't seem that way. The omelette also came with a choice of a bagel on the side, I got the everything bagel which was pretty good and crispy just the way I like it. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Plenty of seating to go around and good amount of food options to choose from.

    For a small spot, they had a lot of options on their menu. Maybe their lunch sandwiches would be better. I wasn't feeling anything fancy so I went with a BEC on a roll. It was okay, it was a pretty thin sandwich. Maybe I'm just used to thick BECs but this one was underwhelming. Staff was friendly. Lots of people coming in and out for pickup orders. There are several tables and bar seats if you choose to eat in. Parking is difficult in the area.

    Talk about going downhill fast. Firstly. Never any salt bagels. Never any mini bagels. Today. No onion. No garlic. Who wants plain bagels all the time? What is going on. And let's talk about quantity. Just a smear of cream cheese not the amount other bagel places put on. Then they have the nerve to charge for extra when they finally give you a decent amount. The other day the charge was 7.75 ish and I got singles back, no coin. Thanks for keeping my change - which I always put in the tip jar anyway. Oh well no tip that day. Unfortunately it is a convenient location but since I can walk about 4 blocks in either direction for salt, onion and garlic bagels, we will go elsewhere from now on.

    Made to perfection! My bagel was toasted just how I liked it. The first, to the last bite, was juicy and delicious. Now that we got that out the way can we talk about the impeccable service at 9 am?! Like the woman at the counter was so bright and attentive. The man who took my payment was kind and funny. I loved it. The open concept and lighting made the place feel warm and welcoming. They also had great Celsius options (IYKYK). Can't wait to go back!

    Over easy Omelette..really?!?

    So there was a private event there recently which I was part of…read more I have been there for a coffee but not for a private event and it was nice! It's easily accessible right by the subway and the LIRR is very close by. Since it was private they ordered their food which was mostly pastries with various flavors/toppings. I wanted savory since it was dinner time so I opted for I think a red pepper pastry which was yummy! My friend actually bought their pastries. One was a mango dessert with white chocolate outer shell and mango mousse. It was good but a bit sweet due to white chocolate and the cream inside was rich and creamy mango flavored. I am watching my sugar intake so just had a bite to try. The other was a pistachio Dubai mousse and oh my! It was amazing! I definitely am returning for this. Also they served chai which I tried a little. And tea but I was afraid to try the tea bc I am very sensitive to caffeine which causes me to have a hard time falling asleep so I opted out. Private event but service wasn't bad. Just wondered why there wasn't water for the guests if they couldn't drink tea/chai.

    I like coming here always friendly staff helpful and kind, the establishment clean…read more I ordered my usal Hibiscus ice tea. I noticed they now have kiosk to order ahead and the have fruit shape pastries and they serve breakfast from 7a-11:45a. Always a pleasure coming here.

    I make a point to take my mom to Prince Tea House every time I'm back in town and they have yet to…read moredisappoint us! The ube souffle? Absolute perfection and made to order, so sip on some hot milk tea out of a beautiful teapot and nom on a perfectly moist scone while you wait 20 minutes for what could be the best dessert of your life. The desserts here are the epitome of "not too sweet" asian treats in the best way possible. I didn't even know I liked scones until I came here, and then I was inspired to bake some of my own (which fell short of the ones here, but of course). Despite it always being crowded, somehow I have always gotten a seat when dining in with no wait. And the customers just keep coming, and the vibe only gets better. The interior is just too cute, and each location has a unique "look" to it but they all scream tea house. Service is nothing short of excellent. Although the menu is on a QR code, it's easy to get the attention of a waitstaff to place your order, and the food and drinks come out quickly. This is a great place to take a date, a friend, a family member, heck - even a place to introduce them to each other.

    I really enjoyed lunch at this place! They've recently rebranded to Austin Street Cafe/Bar & Grill…read more- and they have a sort of diner-esque vibe with a full-service bar ($7 happy hour cocktails!!!) They started us off with a croissant on the house, which was pretty good. Nice attention to detail as it was served with a heart-shaped side of butter. Also part of their happy hour menu are a couple select bar bites. I went for the chicken quesadillas, and it was a hearty portion at their price point. And it had a great flavor - chicken was nice and juicy. Natalie was our server, and was very attentive and friendly throughout our time here. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, Natalie and the manager brought us some cookies on the house to take home. Nothing but praise to be sung about this spot - I hear they're looking into possibly incorporating live music next. Will definitely be back - two thumbs up!

    This place has been renamed "Austin Street coffee and grill" and has an updated menu…read more First off, I want to point out the great customer service from the young man working on a Saturday morning. I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.
