Found this shop on my first day visiting New York from california and it's just a few steps from our airbnb. Nice little place, friendly & fast service on a Saturday morning at 11am. A few tables inside as well as bar style seating along the wall. I got the $6 breakfast special bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich with a coffee but they also have crepes & other stuff... might try a crepe a tomorrow read more

We love this place! We went there 3 times while we were in Astoria. They were conveniently located maybe 30 feet from we were staying. The first day we had their breakfast special, bacon, egg, and cheese on a delicious soft bread. Only $6 for 2 sandwiches and a coffee. Remember though that was a special. They have other specials, every day. The second time I got the tomato, ham, and mayo! It was big sandwich and so delicious! The 3rd time I got a spinach wrap with egg ham and cheese. Again, so good! The owner, I think, is so nice. It's a super quaint spot and maintained pretty busy while we were there. Clean and cozy! read more

Wake Up World to the cutest, tastiest, immaculate coffee, crepe and sandwich shop in the 11102. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an absolute honor to introduce you to the wonderful Wake Cup Astoria. The owner John is so warm, loving, fun, patient and hospitable. I got a chance to enjoy a lovely chat with him. His greeting, welcome and how he takes care of each customer and order is something special. Love the menu boards with an extensive variety of hot and cold coffees, hot sandwiches, rolls, bagels, croissants and salads. There is a great Omelette special as well. The restaurant is spotless. I saw some orders being prepared and served and the egg sandwiches and crepes looked divine. The prices are fantastic. The coffee is great- fresh, hot and strong. Wake Cup Astoria is open from 6:30 am to 5:00 pm M-F and 7:30 am to 4:30 pm on the weekends. I am new to this neighborhood but feel so at home at this establishment. read more

Wake Cup Astoria - Great cup of coffee! Efkharistou!! - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Came here with a friend for a quick lunch while visiting a patient at Mount Sinai. Very convenient that it's down the block! As I walked in, the place was rather small but "cozy". There are some seats to enjoy dine-in; as well as two tables outside. A lot of outlets for those looking for a WFH spot! The desserts caught my eye RIGHT AWAY. They looked so fresh and smelled amazing: however I opted for a savory item. I ordered a fredo cappuccino & a Greek salad with chicken. My friend ordered one of their breakfast sandwiches. I received a sandwich by accident but once I made the guy behind the counter aware, he apologized immediately and stated I keep both items. I thought that was very kind of him, the environment itself was welcoming & I'll definitely be back! **THERE'S A BREAKFAST SPECIAL THAT IS PROMOTED ON THE SIGN OUTSIDE THE CAFE STATING A BACON EGG & CHEESE & A SM COFFEE = $6** read more

Sweet Bacon Crepe: I really enjoyed the sweet and savory combo from the fig jam, bacon, and mozzarella. The crepe was thin and tender. The wait for our crepe was a little over 10 minutes. read more

This spot is brand spanking new and super cute! Even though they are a bit on the tiny side, they have a TON of options to choose from. With delicious caffeinated beverages (I throughly enjoyed my chai tea latte and you KNOW how picky I am with my chai) to sandwiches and crepes. The person behind the counter was very patient with me and recommended the sweet bacon crepe. I much appreciated this suggestion as this was an amazing way to start the day and held me over while I waited for the person I was gonna go to meet. Again, the place is small, but there are spots to sit both inside and outside when weather permits. Downside is there are no restrooms to use. But don't let that stop you from checking out what delicious things they have in house. read more

I walked in one day to a cafe and found out my new crepe location. Wake Cup Astoria has crepes, sandwiches, bagels, and other delicious items. I could tell that they have all kind of delicious tarts, heros, and coffee options. So far, I have had their cappuccino. Strong, but different. I also had the opportunity to have their circular tart with apple inside...oh it's so good. In the window at the counter, they also have Greek pastries with many options inside like spinach, sausage, ham, cheese, etc. Also, there are a myriad of breakfast options: muffins, cheese danish, Nutella croissant, so many decisions to make here. I figured I could come back and try each one if I live to see more days ahead of me. I had to try a crepe. I decided on the sausage crepe with ham, cheese, mushrooms, pickles, and spicy mayo. It sounds like a strange combination, but I love to try new things. Food is never boring for me. And it did not disappoint. I ate this lovely crepe at Athens playground as the beautiful sun dried up all the raindrops earlier. Some things that I also had my eye on (well both my eyes on): bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, and also the salami sandwich (worth the heart attack!) and the cheesecake crepe(now that sounds...oooh mouthwatering!) Along the wall, I observed there are a ton of cold beverage options like sparkling water, bottled water, Snapple, and sodas. If you are Vegetarian, there's yogurt, fruit bowls, and healthy stuff like salads. Indeed, I stopped by one day to have the romaine, and it's light and delicious with its amazing olive oil citrusy dressing. Just simple. Tasty. Hit the spot. Bonus: I noticed they have two tables for outdoor dining and also an L shaped couch inside along with some chairs for indoor dine-in option as well. Bonus squared: The owner and cousin are super nice! They are friendly and greet you as you walk in! It's all good vibes! read more

Ate here today for lunch by myself during my lunch break while working full time and across the street as a teacher assistant at The 30th Avenue School (Q300). I had brought and ate the "wake cup" sandwich with a can of lemon seltzer. It was really good and delicious. The service there was also friendly, courteous and attentive that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose a sandwich to try for the first time. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :) read more

This is such an amazing place! The portions are HUGE, and everything tastes like your grandma made it just for you--so tasty, so fresh, and just the way YOU like it. The owners clearly take pride in their restaurant. Highly recommended! read more

Cute and cozy breakfast spot! This spot opened recently right near my apt and I've passed by a bunch. I finally decided to check it out and support! It was super clean and cute inside, simple cafe vibes. There's a small outdoor seating section as well. There is a large selection of drinks and menu items. I decided to get the BLT to keep it light and they told me it comes on a hero so I asked for it to be on a roll. I assumed that would change the price since it was listed as $6.50 with the hero but I was still charged the full amount :( It was yummy nevertheless but pretty steep for a standard BLT (it did also have a slice of cheese hmm). The couple? that worked the store was really nice and attentive. They seem eager and excited about the store! read more

Wake Cup Astoria - BLT + cheese - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

To be honest I had no idea Wake Cup was even an establishment until randomly walking by a couple weeks ago. The inside aesthetic was extremely inviting so I figured why not pop in for a coffee and pastry. Ended up ordering the Coco Choco Crepe as it combined some of my favorite flavors - chocolate, hazelnut and coconut. The crepe was made right in front of us which adds to the experience. The crepe itself remained light and with enough weight to withstand the Nutella spread, coconut flakes and almonds. It certainly satisfied my sweet tooth for the time being. read more

Very kind staff. Good coffee, and good bagels & muffins. We'd definitely go back on our next trip. Cute place & a few seats to hang for a bit. read more

Excellent crepe. Vege crepe was very healthy, large portion, quick and friendly service.

A new Greek Crepe house comes to Astoria After living in Astoria for nearly 35 years, I am always skeptical when yet another coffee shop opens up in our area! We are over-saturated with too many of them. And I was even more surprised when I learned that it was a Greek crepe café that served sandwiches and a lot of pastries. About ten or so years ago, crepe cafes were popular in Astoria; almost all of them disappeared soon after that. So what was a Greek restaurant offering crepes? This model had failed before. And anyway, crepes are from France. So, I went to try out Wake Cup last month. The café is a little hard to find. If you walk down from the 30 Ave station, it is hidden by a bunch of commercial buildings, and they do not have a bright awning. Only the chalkboard that lists some of their crepes identifies their location from the outside. I've noticed that the low visibility in the awning placement tends to be the norm. The old Bellucci pizzeria has the same issue. What was I going to expect? The café has a few outdoor seating spaces but a lovely lounge with couches around the entrance. Though you get a paper menu, they offer breakfast sandwiches, muffins, bagels, Greek specialties, and their signature crepes. Indeed, there was so much to show that I needed some time. I finally decided to go with the cheesecake crepe, which essentially is and tastes like cheesecake on a crepe. The chef, waitress, and owner were all accommodating and had excellent teamwork and service. I briefly chatted with the owner for a few minutes. He was very nice read more

I thought I already left a review before, but I can't find it. But, these are the best crepes that I've had. Good size, good fillings, and good amount of fillings. Seating is good, it seems to be replaced with more comfortable seats. The owners are welcoming. I had one issue that they helped me resolve I've come alone and with my partner multiple times. I haven't had the coffee, but if it's anything like the crepes, it's likely good as well. I recommend coming for the crepes, at the minimum! read more

Coffee is good, and the customer service is nice. But the food is so-so. Never ask for the tuna here unless you just want a tub of mayo with no actual tuna, and some lettuce and tomato. I threw it away. read more

I am from out of town visiting from North Carolina actually taking care of my aunt in the hospital here in Astoria. I usually eat Crepes at home could not find a place until I come upon this wonderful establishment. The Crepe was delicious the vegetables were so good I am so glad that I found this place I will eat here every day until I do go home. The owners were very pleasant overall fantastic place to be read more

We went for breakfast/brunch. Even though it was fairly busy, the employees were so generous -- helping us get set up at a table (we were 4 adults and a sleeping baby in a stroller). They dealt with our chaotic ordering too. Then the food was reaaaaally good! We had breakfast crepes, avocado toast, and an omelette. Lots of different tea and coffee drinks too which were all amazing. Definitely recommend and we will be back for sure! read more

It does what it does well. Not too frilly but classy and modern at the same time. The ceiling is lined in beautiful finished wood planks - a nice touch! Staff is very friendly and a simple iced coffee with just a dash of skim milk tasted wonderful (this is to comment that the coffee itself is delicious and smooth). Got an egg sandwich with sausage and it was tasty and would love to come back to check out the rest of their options. At 4:30pm, it's a plus to know they're still cranking out eggies! Solid job from the quiet and quaint Wake Cup Astoria. read more

I love this super cute Cafe! I come here every day for the past year or so for my latte. The owner is super friendly and my barista is simply amazing. I'm so happy they are here! read more

I stumbled on this cute eatery looking for a quick bite while my husband decided to get a slice of pizza next door. I had the vegetarian GR Sandwich on Keto bread. The bread was warm and the filling combination was perfect. Friendly staff. Next time I will try the coffee. read more

I don't write many reviews but I'm really enamored with this hidden gem! The breakfast sandwich deal cannot be beat. It always hits the spot and I just love the coffee which is perfectly balanced and smooth. The staff is very friendly and attentive to detail. You can tell that they strive to give the customer the best experience they can. I'll have to try more of the menu! read more

I've ended up going to every iteration of cafe that has existed at this address (even though this is in a really busy area with a lot of foot traffic, there seems to be a new cafe every 2 years)...but I really hope Wake Cup is here to stay! I'm rooting for Wake Cup not only because of its cute pun of a name, but because the owners are really friendly, dedicated, and efficient. I've never actually tried a crepe from their extensive list, but when I need an hour or two to knock out some work with a filling breakfast or lunch, I'll come here. There are 4-5 tables inside, 2 outside, and stools along the wall. Wifi works well. I like getting the breakfast special - you can get a bacon / egg / cheese (on the larger side as far as sandwiches go) and coffee. It does exactly what it needs to, aka wake you up. :) One point of improvement - I prefer a strong, hot black coffee, but I find the coffee here to be scalding - to the point where I taste "burning" and not coffee. Other than that, this is a low-key and cute spot that I'm happy to support! read more

Very nice and cosy spot. Tried their turkey sandwich as part of their lunch special and it was really good!
