    A really, really chill cafe that has alcohol so you and friends can hang out and have the best of the alcoholic and non-alcoholic worlds. Plus food, Jazz, how do you go wrong?

    Great coffee and breakfast pastries. Cozy atmosphere. When you dine in though, you have to be proactive with the waitstaff. They are unlikely to approach you even if you need a refill or the check.

    Beat coffee in Sunnyside/Woodside. If you can catch them early in the morning I recommend getting a croissant (when fresh, beat croissant that I have ever had). Downside to Aubergine is cash only.

    This place will always be called Sexy Squirrel Cafe to me. I miss the old sign out front! Great coffee, sandwiches, and pastries! One of the best in Woodside!

    What a beautiful day today in the city! If you're in the Sunnyside/Woodside area why not stop in for an iced coffee/beer or wine ? Maybe some dessert ? Everyone needs a little ‪#‎MondayMotivation‬! :)

    Sizes are smaller (compared to Starbucks) but it's also cheaper. Plus, you get a free drink for every 10 AND they now offer soy as a milk choice.

    Try the double expresso shot ice coffee and protein bar. It's the ultimate picker upper.

    Amazing food! Only negative is the cash only issue, but definitely not a deal breaker. Scones are to die for.

    Veggie chili's pretty good, though small. Tuna sandwich and salads are my go-to's.

    Though it doesn’t scream “Irish,” this Irish-owned cafe serves scones and Irish tea in addition to sandwiches, salads and quiches.
