This was my first time here and the food was good. I wished they had a bigger array of entree items but the food was good nonetheless. Our server unfortunately I didn't get her name but she has reddish black hair. She has a great sense of humor as I kept asking her for some Jamaican stouts which I knew they didn't have but the look on her face was amusing. The calamari absolutely delicious and tender. I was introduced to Mythos beer and I'll be drinking it from now on.<br><br>The food was good and quite filling. I had the combo platter with wings tenders fries and other items. Upon leaving the restaurant my wife and sister in law stopped by the pastry section with their wide assortment of delicious pastries. I said to the gentleman who I didn't know was was the baker and co-owner of this establishment that if I could I would buy all these pastries. He said because I said that he gave me a complimentary slice of heavenly cheesecake 😋. Then he proceeded to give us another delicious cookie for my sister in law. He won me over with his kindness. My wife and sister in law ended up buying a few slices. He asked me to spread the word and I did already. We were there to celebrate our son's graduation from college. I love the outside setting and ambiance, the music and the staff. Zelda the manager was quite friendly. Definitely will be back if even for the delicious pastries. My other son recommended it to us as he has been there a few times before.

I recently had a private event at The Oasis Cafe in Flushing and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The hostess/manager and entire staff were welcoming, attentive, and incredibly accommodating throughout the event.<br><br>The food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect. The music created a great atmosphere without being too loud, allowing guests to comfortably enjoy conversations. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful and well-maintained, making them ideal for hosting special occasions.<br><br>What stood out most was that we never felt rushed or pressured to leave. The staff ensured everyone was comfortable and able to enjoy the event at a relaxed pace.<br><br>I highly recommend The Oasis Cafe for private events, celebrations, and gatherings of any kind. The combination of outstanding service, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere made for an unforgettable experience.
Oasis Cafe is truly exceptional. I’ve been a loyal customer for years and have consistently been impressed with both their food and service. For my daughter’s birthday, they created a cake that was fresh, beautifully decorated, and made exactly to my specifications—even on short notice. It was light, delicious, and a huge hit with both kids and parents. My daughter and her friends absolutely loved it.<br>What makes Oasis Cafe even more special is the family behind it. From the father to the son and cousin who now run the newer shops, the service has always been warm and excellent. They’ve expanded to several locations across Manhattan, and while Bayside is, I believe, the original, I’ve also visited the Astoria, Gramercy, East Village, and 9th Avenue & 57th Street locations—and every single one has been amazing.<br>Thank you for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable. Oasis Cafe is the one place I always recommend for outstanding cakes and consistently great food.
We celebrated my daughter’s first birthday at Oasis cafe. Evie was so phenomenal! She organized everything for me seamlessly and made the exact cake and cupcakes we wanted for her birthday. The event was so wonderful and the food was SO GOOD! Everyone had an amazing time. Amy was also our server and she was kind, flexible, understanding and provided excellence service. I HIGHLY recommend coming here for any special occasions or even just to grab some brunch or dinner! We will be back again soon! Thank you for everything.
The atmosphere of this place outside is stunning! The desserts look amazing and so many options. I really loved the food, the panini was delicious and so fresh. Highly recommend the truffle fries. Only downside was looking for parking, but to me it was worth it.
This place is a gem. The outdoor area transports you away from Flushing Queens with its thoughtful Mediterranean design and layout (especially in the evening with the warm mood lighting). The cocktails are carefully curated and well made, and the food is quite good. I recommend the steak quesadilla, which is delivered flat pocket style on a large wood board and bursting with flavor. (Think gourmet Crunchwrap without the hard shell)
This café was such a great find! They had so many options when it came to cakes and cheesecakes, along with a nice selection of Italian cookies. It was honestly hard to choose because everything looked so good.<br>The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the place itself was clean and well kept. I ordered the Nutella cake and it was absolutely delicious. The ganache was smooth and creamy, and the cake was perfectly moist and not dry at all. I also tried a bite of the cheesecake my friend ordered, and that was just as amazing.<br>Another thing I liked was that they have both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a parking lot which makes it really convenient. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for great desserts.
I came here for a meeting. The staff was very attentive, the food was delicious and it was a really nice experience.<br><br>Afterwards, I went to the bakery and bought some pastries. The carrot cake and baklava cheesecake were divine. They have so many choices and everything is fresh.<br><br>Parking can be a little tricky but that is how it is in Queens.<br><br>This is a nice restaurant for meetings, date night or dinner with the family. It has a nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. They even lowered the music for our meeting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and come here again.
First time visiting Oasis Cafe, and honestly, we were just passing by and decided to grab a couple of coffees to go. No big expectations at all—just a quick stop. But surprisingly, it turned out to be a much better experience than we expected.<br><br>We ordered two coffees, and right away, the coffee itself stood out. It was very smooth and well-balanced, not bitter, not acidic, and definitely not the kind of coffee that leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. You can tell some care goes into it. It’s the kind of coffee you keep sipping without thinking about it, and before you know it, the cup is empty.<br><br>And I have to mention this specifically—their cups are absolutely gorgeous.<br>This is not your typical plain to-go cup with a basic logo slapped on it. The color, the design, and the overall look are just beautiful. The soft pink cup with the clean, stylish graphics really stands out, and it honestly made the coffee feel even more enjoyable. It’s one of those little details that makes you pause for a second, admire the cup, and maybe even take a photo. Small thing, but it really adds to the experience.<br><br>We didn’t end up ordering any desserts this time, but the display inside seriously caught our attention. Every single pastry looked amazing—beautifully made and very tempting. It’s the kind of dessert case that makes you stand there for a moment thinking, “Maybe just one more thing…” Even though we skipped them this visit, we already decided we have to come back and try them next time.<br><br>Overall, even though this was just a quick coffee stop, everything—from the coffee quality, to the thoughtful cup design, to the overall vibe—made it feel like a place worth revisiting. This definitely isn’t a one-time visit kind of café.<br><br>We’ll absolutely be back, and next time, desserts are not getting skipped.
Always delicious and fresh deserts. We also shared a pizza, had drinks and coffee with to die for baklava cheesecake. We celebrated a friends birthday and friendly waitstaff sang with candle in dessert. Oasis a great place to meet up with friends, small or large groups, very accommodating. During warmer months outside sitting has a nice atmosphere with background music playing. Have been patronizing this establishment for almost 40 years. Desserts, pastries, cookies and cakes beautifully displayed in the front section of establishment, where customers lined to order, coffee and/or sweets to take out. Owner greeted when he made his way to the table area.
Very good service.<br>I ordered Guatemala coffee with too much sugar and then asked them to change and they accommodated me without hesitation.<br>Tons of space here, including outdoor seating area that is nice!
Impromptu find on TikTok for my mother’s birthday. She came into town and wanted to go out for lunch somewhere so my goal was to find a nice outdoor spot. Expectations were definitely exceeded✨✨ it feels like you are in Tulum lol. I wonder what it would be like at night time!? My mother enjoyed it so much that she wants to come back tomorrow. The food is very fresh & flavorful. I am a matcha girl so it was also a treat to find some on the menu 💚Shoutout to Angelo for taking the time to take our photos and talk to us as we were on the way out. Looking forward to dessert tomorrow 😌😌
I've ordered delivery and pickup from this place before. The desserts we got were always out of this world and so was the food. This time we had time to stop by for brunch on a Saturday and had a great experience. The Bloody Mary was good and the eggs Benedict too. My son loved the waffles and chicken. We are coming back for more!
I had an absolutely delightful experience at Oasis Cafe in Flushing! This charming spot is a true gem, with its stunning ambiance that feels like a serene escape. The cafe is adorned with lush trees and greenery, creating a calming, nature-inspired atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. It’s the perfect place to unwind and soak in the beauty of your surroundings.<br>The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm, making me feel so welcome from the moment I walked in. Now, let’s talk about the food! The portions are incredibly generous, and every dish was bursting with flavor. The calamari was perfectly crispy and tender. The chicken Caesar salad was fresh, with a creamy dressing that tied it all together beautifully.the cheesecake was rich, creamy, and with just the right crunch.<br>The quality and quantity of the food, combined with the relaxing vibe, make Oasis Cafe a must-visit. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit.👍✅
We stopped in for coffee and dessert. Excellent selection of pastries, doughnuts, cookies and other baked items. You can order to go or sit in the back for full service. Wait staff was extremely friendly and professional. They have an outside seating area that was not open when we were there, due to the weather. Vibe is of a sophisticated night club, in the back.
