"seriously good coffee – you can absolutely taste the quality difference"
First-timers: mention it's your first visit for a Loyalty Card (maybe a free donut)
"the all-around kindness of the staff" (Eater NY)

This tiny Astoria nook pulls serious espresso through a Slayer machine, served by staff so kind they might slip you a complimentary mini donut. Three standing tables inside mean you'll likely take your cortado to the sidewalk bench, swapping neighborhood gossip with regulars who come by first name.

They recommend it:
