absolutely loved Little Flower! such a cute and cozy cafe. i ordered an iced latte with rose and honey and it was delicious, their coffee is amazing. i also got a monstrously large chocolate croissant that i loved. seating is pretty limited when they’re busy (and i went on a saturday so it was very busy) but they have benches outside. staff were really friendly too. i’ll definitely come back!

A nice small cafe with a small but versatile and fun menu. I absolutely loved the breakfast burrito with the halal bacon and the Gochujang Chicken was also very good and had a nice sweetness at the end of each bite. We really wanted to try the Short rib sandwich, but unfortunately they were all out. We also learned that they have a Lumber Jack platter that apparently is great to share, so we'll be trying that next time around.

Charming, bustling, and full of heart. Little Flower Cafe is a gem in Astoria — yes, it gets crowded (for good reason!), but the warm atmosphere and attention to detail make it worth the wait. The interior is both cozy and stylish, with cool tables and thoughtful touches, including a lovely portrait of the owner’s mother that adds a personal, homey feel. The bakery items are truly perfect — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Coffee and tea are top quality, and the staff is always friendly, even during the busiest hours. You can tell this place was created with love and a sense of community. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates great pastries, great people, and a beautifully curated space.

Such a cozy little corner Cafe! I wanted a good breakfast and iced Americano, and ended up ordering the Breakfast Burrito with lamb sausage as well as Raspberry Danish. The burrito really gets elevated when you order it with some protein. The lamb sausage is halal and it is spiced up with delicious earthy flavors. It's worth getting even though it's an added $4. The Danish, however, is my real favorite. The Raspberry jam is delicious and there is soft, creamy cheese inside. The Danish is baked perfectly, balancing the fluffiness and chewiness. Space is tight and there are not too many tables and chairs, but if the weather is as nice as today, outside is just as pleasant as inside. I'll definitely come back to explore more of the menu. Finally, everyone is just so friendly here, it is quite comforting.

The food and coffee here are pretty good. Although, not quite on the Santa Fe level, the breakfast burrito is tasty, and I didn’t have any complaints about the hot chicken sandwich. However, the guava pancakes - even though fluffy, they lack flavor and should be more moist. The portions are also quite small, especially considering the price.

LITTLE FLOWER IS THE BEST CAFE EVERRR! They are so much more than just a cafe though, it's more like a movement or way of life for me at this point LOL. I love their food, their activism, and how they show up for our neighborhood. I have tried various things on their menu and it is all my favorite LOL! I typically get a cold brew and some kind of food. My go to is their guava pancakes and egg sandwich. Their pastries are phenomenal too. You need to do yourself a favor and visit! The staff are the sweetest most genuine people on earth. I love our little chats. Ok this review is already so long-- ILY LF!

Cute little cafe with a variety of choices for food. Highly recommend their guava pancake & Firni doughnut! The smash burger is good if you’re into extremely smashed & crisped meat patties. The pistachio croissant was okay- the filling was very little but there were a lot of whole & crushed pistachios on top of it. Not many non-caffeinated drink options, and a bit disappointed that their ice cocoa was really watered down. Overall a nice hangout spot during spring & summer as the space is very light-filled!

I’ve been meaning to stop by Little Flower Cafe for a while and I’m glad I finally did! We ordered a cardamom latte, turmeric bun, and maple (halal) bacon tart. Everything was realllllly good. The pastries were both super tasty and unique in flavors. I’ll definitely be back to try a firni donut!
