Me and my friends found an amazing hidden gem here in Astoria. Eli's cafe is a small place, with indoor and outdoor seating. The portion size is extremely large, one $12 crepe was split between 3 people and it was a perfect portion. The Kinder Bueno crepe was super yummy!! The owner was extremely nice and even gave us each a free lemonade with our food. 10/10 experience, we are already planning our next visit.

If you a looking for something special in Astoria Eli’s cafe should be the first choice for coffee and snacks. Eli’s cafe is very nice, clean and cozy space in astoria. They have a very large variety of coffee. I love their cappuccino with extra shot in it. The owner is very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. When i entered into the cafe i get all the positive vibes from the ambiance. I’m truly impressed by the service and welcoming experience. Thank you and i will definitely come back again.

This place is a HIDDEN GEM!<br><br>I happened to see this place on my walk and stepped in. The owner is very nice and asked what I was in the mood for. Based on her recommendation, she made me a ham, cheese, and arugula crepe and it was PHENOMENAL!! It was light and flavorful and I ended up eating the whole thing.<br><br>The chai tea is also really good, they don't use any pre made powder, everything is fresh and you can tell.<br><br>This place has a very nice and comfortable vibe as well. I was able to peacefully sit inside and work on my computer. Really huge shoutout to the service, they even made me a hot sauce from scratch since they don't have any (yet).<br><br>I really do recommend going to this place, local or not. Very enjoyable experience!

Thank you! We're here for you anytime!

I was walking by, and saw these adorable little girls sitting in the window. Giggling as they enjoyed their drinks.<br>I heard about this place and decided to check it out. I went inside and the first thing I saw, were two little boys sharing a crepe. I asked them what kind it was, and with their chocolate filled lips, they said a Nutella Kinder Bueno Crepe. Wow!<br>I myself prefer savory Crepes. The owner Eli absolutely sparkles as she tends to her customers. So many regulars coming in & out, as she asked about their families. So warm & friendly. No wonder she has so many regulars. She informed me about some items from the Savory Crepe Menu.<br><br>*The Mediterranean,<br>Which is feta cheese, tomato, black olive spread & arugula.<br>*Ham & Cheese with black olive spread Crepe.<br>Which is the one I chose. It was spectacular, so was the Frappe I ordered. I had never ordered one before, and I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. Highly recommend!

We stumbled upon this charming cafe on our walk to an event and it wow did it surprise us! In summary, Eli’s cafe is a must try! Upon entry, you’re greeted by a warm smile by Eli, the owner, who’s very kind and welcoming. Eli had just finished baking some Spanakopitas (spinach pies) and recommended us to try. We couldn’t say no because they looked really good, so we went ahead and got that with our Freddo Espressos. We noticed immediately that Eli put so much care and love into what she makes, that we knew what we would get will certainly taste good. Eli did not disappoint! Our coffee and drink immediately took me to my days in Greece - fresh, high quality, and made with care. My girlfriend and I loved it and highly encourage others to visit. We will certainly be coming back!

stumbling upon this cafe on my way to another coffee shop and it was so cute and inviting i decided to check it out instead. the barista was so lovely she made my freddo cappuccino with oat milk and cinnamon and even let me try it to make sure i don’t want to add sugar or syrup (it was perfect). i would definitely come back for the amazing coffee, great vibes and service and to try the crepes!

Cute cafè I stumbled upon on my walk to the doctor’s office with my toddler. The bright yellow colors pulled me in. I was desperate for an ice coffee but I didn’t have a lot of time. Eli’s cafe was a sweet find. The wonderful lady who greeted me was warm and inviting. She gave my son a Greek tea biscuit and he loves those! Looking forward to trying something different next time. Give it a try!

BEST iced frappe in Astoria! Eli recommended topping with cinnamon & it was the perfect after-gym pick me up. The pastries looked delicious and fresh and everything was fair priced. Lovely outdoor seating and decor too, adds such nice charm and color to 31st street 💛

I have not tried anything on the menu that I did not love. Eli's coffee is perfectly balanced of bold, strong, and creamy. She makes every drink with love. Stopping at her place is just what you need to start your day and any time of day. The place is so warm, inviting, friendly, and so cozy. Absolutely the best cafe in Astoria!

Response from the owner

Awww that is really sweet of you Sydney i really appreciate your kind words! Much Appreciated 🙏
