Bagels are always fresh and delicious, friendly staff, excellent service. Quick and convenient. My daughter loves their French Toast/ Rainbow bagels with cream cheese. Btw, they have gluten free bagels that are pretty yummy!

I can't say enough about how great Manducatis Rustica is. We had a large group dinner here and the staff and chef were so accommodating to all dietary needs (I am gluten free and they had plenty of options!). They have a fabulous pre fixe menu with a lot of variety and we were surprised by how much food came with it, we definitely left stuffed! Loved the wine selections as well. The back patio is beautiful. Definitely a must-visit in Long Island City and worth making the visit out from Manhattan. Thanks Gianna and team!

Truly the best cafe and pastry shop in the neighborhood. The various lattes are delicious (I can’t get enough of the osmanthus latte!) and the pastries are such a delight. The gluten-free selection has been so so good (the banana and lemon are out of this world!!!) and the staff is super knowledgeable about cross-contamination and gluten-free ingredients. The back patio is quiet and perfect for getting work done (but my dog loves to play around the patio too!). Absolutely worth the travel from anywhere, but they also have a location in Midtown (I think around Hell’s Kitchen?) that’s just as amazing.

Excellent variety and quality! Exceptional smoked salmon and the bowl with Greek yogurt, fruit, honey and almonds is also worth it! There is also gluten-free bread which makes brunch suitable for everyone!

I can’t eat anything with gluten so I didn’t try their iconic soufflé pancake. But their soft serve and Japanese pudding is the best soft serve in town and OMG the Japanese pudding tastes like the one I had in Tokyo! I’ve been trying to find Japanese pudding in New York and this is the only place I found. Every thing is made in house here, even Soft serve is their own recipe. Spacious, clean, great ambience. It is only 20 minutes from Grand Central with Line 7. Perfect location to get away from the crowds in Manhattan where I can sip on my coffee, read a book and enjoy nice desserts. Highly recommended.

Had the absolute best experience this evening at Jaguar. The owner, chef and bartender were all incredibly friendly and accommodating to my dietary restrictions. For those with a celiac allergy, they have gluten free crepes!! Drinks were absolutely incredible, I got the strawberry mojito and now want to order the entire menu. A jewel has been added to Astoria and we will be back! ✨
