First Cup Cafe

Cozy and bright coffee shop on a busy corner of little Bangladesh. Decided to check them out with bae after yoga class. The shop is nicely decorated with a flower motif, giving heavy date spot vibes. Pastries looked very delicious and almost museum like in the display. I went with a cocunut sandosh latte. As explained to me, sandosh is a Bangali dessert.

I stumbled upon First Cup Cafe during a weekend walk and I'm so glad I did.

Small and beautiful cafe with a good mix of authentic Bengali vibe and classic cafe drinks. Really liked their strawberry matcha latte. Service was great and friendly. They have a good selection of standard drinks but also some refreshers and savory snacks. Happy to have another halal spot in Astoria!

Bangali family owned. Really original flavours with bangali fusion dishes. Very reasonably priced. We got the malai chaa which is just plain Dhaka Chaa, rosh malai latte, chopped cheese and doi fuchka
