This place has great ambiance and spacious seating where you don't feel so cluttered (unlike places like Starbucks).

The café staff are easy to talk to and they are respectful and patient about first timers (like me).

The customer service is a plus too, you don't need to wait long to receive your order.

They also have many real indoor plants that make the café feel very homey.

The furniture is also quite comfortable with many seats and different types of seating arrangements.

There is seating along the 2 windows, a couch corner, bar stool seats, and wall-mounted seats that are arranged with tables and regular chairs.

There are also outlets if you need to keep your devices charged (bring your own chargers).

Now as a lover of lattes that aren't served with coffee (unfortunately I'm not a coffee fan and if you are, keep reading) it is so hard to find a café that just doesn't serve only bland "tea" with hot water for $3.50 but they have other options like lattes for those who prefer tea over coffee.

For the tea based drinks, we ordered the Hojicha Latte with soy milk and an Ube Latte with almond milk (purple colored one - but beware when you drink this it will turn your teeth and lips purple-ish lol).

For the coffee my husband ordered a Cortada with soy milk (which has the same amount of caffeine but in a smaller cup).

The Cortada actually came a bit smaller than I had anticipated so if you're an avid coffee drinker and expect to have a good size cup of joe to last half the day or even for a sitting this may be an option that you may want to wait on.

They have three different types of glazed waffles and although it isn't warm and freshly made, it tastes delicious!

One waffle is drizzled with Nutella and topped with rice crispy cereal, while the other is drizzled with white chocolate and topped with crushed pistachio's, and a regular glazed waffle.

If you are ever passing by the Queens Borough don't forget to stop by this little café!
