Small-ish cafe with indoor and outdoors seatings. You order at the counter and they'll call your name to pick up the food and drinks and. We ordered the: 1. Short rib sandwich: so, so good. The short rib was tender, the arugula cuts through to help wilt the vinegar, which helps cut through the fattiness of the sandwich. 2. Breakfast burrito: my fiancé really enjoyed this one. It was slightly spicy and the pico de gallo added additional level of flavor and freshness to the burrito. For me, it was too much of the same texture, so I think adding the bacon might help with that. 3. Cortana and blood orange hibiscus tea: both good and standard drinks We'll definitely come back to try their other breakfast dishes including the fried chicken sandwich and guava pancakes.

Food: both the burrito and pancakes were delicious. Not 100% sure if the value was worth it but we wanted to try it out. Nothing to complain about. Service: barista was nice and food came out at a reasonable time Ambiance: simple decor throughout the cafe. The tables were unique. There was outdoor seating as well and dog friendly!

Our first time trying afghani breakfast and they made it memorable. I bought the burrito, pink tea and the firni donut. Everything was so delicious . I'd continue to come if I resided in Long Island. Friendly service and the ambiance is clean.

Excuse me - this was a ridiculously good sandwich in a stupidly cute neighborhood cafe. It wasn't hard to find a seat at 1PM on a weekday, but I imagine the lines and wait can get crazy on the weekend. We grabbed a gochujang hot chicken sandwich ($14) and a short rib sandwich ($16). They did not disappoint, with punchy flavors and perfect portion sizes. Could I get a cheaper sandwich elsewhere? Yes, but that's absolutely not the point. ...We did also grab an iced tea, which we wouldn't do again, but only because it was $5 ($4 for the loose leaf tea, +$1 for iced). It was a delicious tea, but not for $5 :( The service is super friendly and the space is sweet. Limited seating inside and outside, so not great for large groups. It's a slightly slower paced spot (which I loved), so just pointing out that it's not for someone trying to make a mad dash to the train yannow.

Friendly service, yummy pancakes, and cute sitting area inside and out. The egg sammie was also delicious, but I forgot to take a picture.

Great place to grab a quick sip and bite but the overcrowding (especially on weekends) has become out of control during peak hours. So please don't be those types of people who lounge around with their laptops or books or with a group of friends when it gets busy - it can get super uncomfortable when a mass amount of people start coming in and scattering all over the small space. I know I've come close to getting clocked in the face by those just loitering around instead of waiting outside. That said, I've come here on several occasions for some nice coffee and a sandwich after the gym. It's ALWAYS on point. Their Short Rib sandwich is honestly my favorite item to get here. It may look small but it is enough to fill you up for a few hours and yes, it is very messy, in case you're wondering :) I always get their cold brew and it's more of a light roast fare, which is to my liking. Their pear and goat cheese danish is also very nice and may be a little odd for those who aren't used to having sweet, tart, salty, and herbally flavors all at once. It's definitely on the pricier side and caters more to the transplanted crowd in Astoria but the prices rightfully reflect their quality. I've been lucky and never really had to wait but I personally wouldn't wait on line, especially when there's other cafes nearby.

Cute little coffee shop with seating inside and out. Got a mocha which was on point and the breakfast Sammie with halal bacon Food came out pretty quick and staff was attentive to wipe tables down quickly when people left to make room for the next.

Cute neighborhood cafe in northern LIC/southern Astoria area. It can get super duper busy on weekends especially closer to noon. Some seating but I wouldn't really plan to find a seat if you're coming with more than 4 people. I did see a couple outlets, but not sure if they have WiFi. Service was kinda slow and seems like one of the cashiers/workers was new so he had trouble getting people the right orders. On a lazy Sunday though this was pretty easy to overlook. The oat milk latte was solid. The filled donut was good although I couldn't quite figure out what the flavors were meant to be. The cardamom croissant though was great. Sticky and sweet exterior with a fluffy/buttery/layered inside. Definitely would come back here as well for some of their more brunch items, too. Overall, a cute neighborhood bakery in an area kinda lacking on coffee shops imo.

We stopped in based on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. It is an all-day halal cafe. On a rainy Sunday morning and it was so crowded. There are only 5- 6 tables for 2 and the line was long. The pistachio donut was so good. It was filled with a pastry cream that had a bit of spice and floral flavor and topped with pistachios. We also had the chocolate croissant... so big, flaky and chocolatey. We split the breakfast burrito with Halal bacon and it was so good. It was stressful waiting for a table, but by the time our food arrived we were able to get a table and enjoy our breakfast. Would highly recommend.

Just moved to the other side of LIC, and my younger brother noticed this cafe not too far from me. We decided to check it out on a Sunday morning and I was not expecting a crowd of people here. Little flower is a small cafe, with limited seating. But the baked goods and breakfast sandwich caught our eyes, especially the halal bacon (beef bacon). I ended up getting a pistachio croissant, and an egg sandwich with the beef bacon. The bread is made in house and was delicious! They also gave a good amount of bacon. The croissant was out of this world good! The pistachio filling was so light , it was delicious. The dirty chai was good, but I have a feeling the pink drink is what I should have gotten. The service was amazing, they were quick and efficient, answered all my questions and gave great recommendations. But just a FYI, it's a bit pricey. Would I stop by again? For the baked goods, absolutely!
