I had high expectations for this place after reading google reviews. And hyped it up to my sister after seeing Instagram reels about great coffee drinks. so we drove from Bayside to Astoria to get coffees. Sorry to say that it was disappointing. The baristaās are not friendly or attentive at all. And I will think before going back again.
Have gone twice now, and both times have been charged wrong and wrong drink was entered into system. Ironically by the same person both times.

Second time, ordered iced pistachio cream latte. Barista asks how do you want this drink? I answered exactly how itās usually made. Barista-Pistachio milk or syrup? Iām not sure of the question, I would like it however you usually make it, the standard recipe. Ok, proceeds to put ice cubes in a cup with a few pumps of syrup. And leaves the cup on the counter where I wait 7+ minutes for my one cup of iced latte. Grab the baristaās attention Hi, still waiting for my coffee? And sorry, but I think you rung it up wrong. I ordered the pistachio cream latte, not a 16oz iced latte and add pistachio syrup. Barista Oh, ok. You have to come back to the counter and pay the difference for the drink. Ok. I go back to the register where barista proceeds to charge me an extra $.33 for the difference in the drink prices.
But now I feel compelled to let them know this is the second time in a matter of days that theyāve screwed up my orders. And Iām now waiting 10 minutes for an iced latte. After all the back and forth I finally get the drink I ordered. The barista apologized by offering a complimentary pastry. However, I recommend to have a lot of patience and low expectations when...
