This was my first time coming to this establishment. I was really pleased with the decor because everything was very beautiful and unique. I would go back just to admire and take pictures of everything. What I wouldnt go back for is their customer service and one of their specialty coffees, cafe bianco I believe it was called in their menu. The description of the coffee said it has orange, espresso and something else. It sounded interesting, so I asked the girl working behind the cashier if she would recommend it. She had the most uninterested attitude and tone even though she said she recommended all three of their specialty coffees. She also kept looking at me like I was bothering her, even though it wasnt particularly busy in the store when I was there and that was the only question I had asked. I was still curious, so I ordered it anyways even with her bad selling skills. I was severely disappointed with the coffee and I deeply regret wasting my money. The only orange I could taste were from the little orange pieces that they placed at the bottom of the coffee and the one slice of orange they put on the surface of the coffee. It didnt taste like anything special. Sadly, that was the only thing that I ordered since I was low on cash and their crepes looked pretty and delicious, but after this disappointing experience, I just got a bad impression and wont be coming back to try anything else on the menu. The only reason I gave two stars was because of the beautiful decor.

Warning: If you speak to the person, working tonight (she might be a manager or boss tonight), she humiliated me in front of all the customers, saying she " I cant hear you", "forget the house coffee", and "I have no time," when I requested her," may I have decaf house coffee please " ( I had bought a latte earlier from the most kindest, gentle and professional, smiling gentleman earlier). It was not busy, nobody was behind me when I was explained why. It was unclearly the first time, and then the second time, that, there is a decaf bean grinded, that would be used in the espresso machine. I really appreciated this without the insults and hurtful tone, she spoke to me in, despite me speaking to her respectfully politely, initially. I was shocked, felt terrible. She caused others who were sitting to start staring rudely, as "she made a scene." Very intimidating and embarrasing in our cultures! I drove so far to bring someone, to enjoy this beautiful place. It really is the most beautiful cafe for miles! I originally loved it, so I brought, family twice. Others from our local community here, also came. Thats 3 compliments for this experience, despite feeling horrible, disrespected and regretful for coming back. I understand someone "was having a bad day", I just wish I did not have to suffer in this paradise, of cafes (it is sincerely the best looking Cafe or coffee shop anywhere near!!! (4th compliment!)

Not that much of a dessert person oftentimes but I really was won over by the decor..it was really cute and clean atmosphere. I ordered the alfie -- although it was quite tiny and expensive ($11) the overall experience is nice since they open until 12am.. I dont recommend it for people who are really hungry, but if you have a friend that you want to catch up with and where they dont make you leave (except during closing hours), this is the place to go! The alfie crepe was with mushroom, tomato, alfredo sauce and grilled chicken as well as provolone cheese. Fantastic combination, so good thought.. but not executed that well as the alfredo sauce tasted like it came from a jar and it wasnt particularly hot enough. Seats are pretty comfortable and the people are pretty friendly :) Nice place for a coffee break.

I strongly recomend you try crepe. they serve various kind of crepe, you can get suitable one for your taste. I prepfer penny the cheese cake. other impression things is their interiors. the decor is nicley and cool, and seasonally renewed included basic service-free wifi, number of several cozy tables. sometimes (may be weekend night) cafe is very busy crowded, but it shows how much this place popular.

The environment is really comfortable for sure!! Nice idea for using sunlight from the ceiling. If you wanna take a break, this is one of the cafe that I would wanna stay in. Base on representation, taste and service, I think theyre all on average!! The price is reasonable. I was expecting more tastier, better representation and skills. Those are something that needed to improve.

I feel you pay more for the experience than the actual food. While the desserts are good, they arent mind blowing enough to warrant the $3 markup on most of the desserts there. I got the Super Nanny Mary Poppins and it was delicious and also $8.... Bottom line: I took my pictures and Instgramed - Im done lol

The spring decor here is a delight. Their turmeric ginger latte is a tastier version of the golden lattes you can find in some NYC cafes. It wasnt on the menu, but they made it for me upon request. Based on the cold brew maker I saw, looks like theyre getting ready for the cold brew season. Cant wait!

It is a beautiful little cafe. Very festive beautifully and elegantly decorated. Delicious crepes and phoeniminal drinks. Really good noodle shaved ice. The menu is very limited but the quality and taste of everything on it is well worth the small selection. Definately cute date night idea.

Great decor all the time. Plenty of seating. Food is well prepared and presentation is great. Its like a mixture of a restaurant and cafe but not too much of a restaurant feel. When you enter, you grab a menu and go seat yourself. Its more of a self serve place. Cute for dates.

Cafe Bench is a cute little cafe that makes great drinks and food. The seating is very comfortable. They put lots of care into their seasonal decor, which I appreciate. I highly recommend their crepes and desserts. My favorite drink is their affogato (ice cream in espresso).

great creperie in queens, bayside area. The cafe is quite large and seats plenty of customers but at the same time gives off a cozy feel. The food is very good and not too pricey. Its the perfect place for brunch on a weekend in queens.

5 stars based on the fact that everything is very good. Great taste flavor the size of the crepes . 5 stars all the way. HOWEVER they do take a bit long to make the crepes so if your in a hurry you have been warned.

Compared to other Korean owned coffee establishments, their coffee is actually pretty decent. This place has been making crepes for quite a while, not to fond of the savory but the dessert is pretty solid.

Sweet and savory crepes great for a brunch hangout. Their fruit is fresh, coffee is neat and service is fast and friendly. Parking available around the neighborhood too so it is car friendly.

The crepes and popingsoo (shaved ice with fruit) are delicious. The customer service is bad. The staff there are rude and seem to be deaf. Avoid going there on Sundays. Its really packed.
