The waffle was delicious!! It was topped with Greek yogurt, granola, fresh berries, and syrup, and it had a really nice texture (soft on the inside, nice crunch on the outside). Cute spot right by the LIC waterfront.
One of my favorite coffee shops in all of NYC. I love the cold brew and the vanilla lattes, and all the pastries are delicious - especially the almond croissants. I’ve had their avocado toast, multiple breakfast sandwiches, and their breakfast burrito, all of which are amazing. The staff is friendly and works super hard during the busy hours as well! But please, for the love of God, stop using the wooden forks and knives. They are by far the worst utensils known to man. Not only is the wood not sharp enough to cut hard bread crust (obviously…), but the fork makes sure that every bite tastes like a popsicle stick.
Wonderful Cafe to hang and relax. Coming in from the cold weather the cafe is so warm!!
Love the minimalist decor and pastries display. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating as weather permits.
Waited on the line and unfortunately got skipped to order. There was two cashiers, one actual the other mobile (on IPad). Sadly, I was unnoticed waiting on line and had to wait for the other cashier.
Ordered a 16 Oz Dark Hot chocolate. It is made out of chocolate chips (not powered) which is great! Tasted very good as well! Would of given 5 stars if it wasn't for the non-acknowledgement on the line.
Amazing lowkey Mediterranean brunch spot with huge portions. I love the sabich bowl (eggplant)! Their coffee is very tasty as well. I’ve brought different groups of friends here and everyone has been extremely happy

Nice location of two that are near each other; right near the park and waterfront! I walked by and smelled fresh pastries being baked and it smelled amazing so I had to stop in in try. I was happy to find this cafe was open late comparatively, into the evening which was exciting. This bakery and cafe is styled so nicely inside! I was really blown away by the atmosphere and the wonderful music selection they had playing. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable to my questions about the products (which you’d be surprised how many people are just showing up and know little about what they’re serving) so that also was nice. I got some pastries and some coffee and the coffee was pretty good. More of a medium with a chalkiness like cafe bustello ; which if you like is the style I got served. I prefer it more dark with less of that grit but it was good. It’s really a nice store to sit in and recharge between moving spaces. My friend got mushroom tarts to take home and raves about them; buys them in the multiples! So definitely would recommend them. Good croissants too and the waffles. It’s a nice spot with also a nice, very stylish, and VERY clean bathroom which is always worth an extra star and worth mentioning. 6/5 for that. Great cafe! Assorted croissants like everything croissant and churro croissant , as well as cake pops too! Check them out!

The food and coffee at this café are top notch. I ordered the Sriracha Breakfast Sandwich (egg, cheese, tomato, mayo, and sriracha on a toasted brioche bun) and it was absolutely incredible. So freaking good. I also had a hot latte which was equally delicious. Excellent quality coffee. I wonder what kind of coffee beans they use?…
It was really crowded when I went on Saturday morning at 11:30am and there was about a 5-10 minute wait to get my food and coffee. Not too bad. There are a few tables inside and also a few outside but all were occupied so I took my food to go.
Staff was very friendly and helpfully answered a few questions I had about the menu.
I’ll definitely be coming back and I’m looking forward to trying everything on their menu.
Black Star is my go to place for coffee and breakfast/brunch items, I love their menu and everything they prepare is super tasty and consistent; I prefer this place than any other brunch restaurants in the area.
Whenever I want to have brunch in Long Island City , I go to Black star Bakery and cafe, because they’re the best. Even though they have indoor and outdoor seating, i just love taking my food and eat it by the waterfront with the perfect view of New York City. My fave in their menu is the the second avocado toast with gluten free bread+ egg. So good! I also like their coffee- they use Oslo coffee roasters which is awesome - so oat milk latter for me.
If you want more food options (bowls, sandwiches, pitas…), I would suggest trying to other branch that is on Vernon street.
The best breakfast burrito in Queens! The lattes are amazing and baked goods. It has a modern minmalist vibe inside. With a large menu and great seating black star is pretty great for a coffee or lunch at the cafe or to go and a walk to the beautiful LIC park.
Great quick brunch place! Went to LIC location because we needed a place that would take less than an hour so we could make a ferry in Gantry Park. They have counter service so it is fast, but the table seating is relaxed and pleasant like a regular restaurant.
I am gluten free and they had bread for any sandwich order. They recommended the Avocado Toast. I’m not a millennial so this was my first try for this item. The gf bread was very good, the avocado was ripe, the poached egg was ideal - fully-cooked white and runny yolk, and the micro-greens added the flavor. Making it dairy-free was not an issue.
My friend liked his burrito a lot too, but it was not gf so I didn’t try it.
The homemade lemonade with mint was just right.
I liked the open, airy feel and the big, southwest facing windows, and the whitewashed interior. Bright and cheerful. Bathroom was tidy.
Staff was nice and helpful and knowledgeable.
Highly recommend.
