The Best Cafs In Astoria Queens

Astoria, Queens, boasts an ethnically diverse community, which is also reflected in its wide range of restaurants and coffee shops. Here are the best cafés where customers can try original drinks and homemade pastries.

1. Tea Plus Cafe

Cafe, Asian

Asian influences abound at Tea Plus Cafe, where visitors can sip on Matchapressos (that’s part matcha and part espresso) alongside homemade green tea mille crêpes. There’s also a cozy space with plush armchairs—an ideal place to have a good conversation or to finish work.

2. Astoria Coffee

Cafe, American

Astoria Coffee bills itself as “your neighborhood coffee shop,” and locals appear to agree. Though its list of roasters is expansive (it features roasters from across the U.S.), the menu at this popular café is small. Expect straightforward drinks such as lattes and Americanos.

3. OK Cafe

Cafe, American

The original creations at OK Cafe are imaginative as they are delicious. The café’s “only found here” food and drink items, which include the Coffee Soda-Pop, Spicy Mexican Mocha, and cold brew popsicle, have earned recommendations from Gothamist, Huffington Post, and Astoria locals.

5. Kinship Coffee Cooperative

Cafe, American

Bring your Williamsburg-based friends to this Astoria coffee shop, where hipsters will feel right at home amongst Kinship Coffee Cooperative’s photo-adorned walls and laptop-packing patrons. The simple coffee drinks here fuel countless conversations on the Williamsburg-versus-Astoria debate and are a point in favor of the latter.

6. Cafe Boulis

Cafe, Greek

In New York City’s Greek capital, even something as simple as coffee and a pastry can be executed with Mediterranean flair. Family-owned Cafe Boulis serves Greek and locally roasted coffee alongside homemade loukoumades (honey-filled fried dough with a choice of toppings), traditional spinach pie, and more authentic Greek grub.

7. Martha’s Country Bakery

Bakery, American

The all-American classics at Martha’s Country Bakery were made to be enjoyed with coffee. Red velvet layer cakes, sour cream apple pie, and vanilla cupcakes pair perfectly with an equally traditional beverage menu featuring American coffee and espresso drinks.
