"Maria’s Moroccan inspired food was homemade, healthy, and delicious. Perfect for a cold winter day. We got a spinach and garlic egg sandwich, Turkish coffee, and a beet/spinach/berry juice. The homemade hot sauce was 🔥. After that we had to get something else, so we sat for a while and followed it up with a couscous plate (squash, sweet potato, eggplant, chickpea, fava, bean, meatball). Everything was so good we got another couscous plate to go + spinach pie + lentil soup & bread (for my sick sister) + her almond flour cookies stuffed with pistachios and dates."

"Had breakfast at Mary's Sunshine Cafe, the food was just fantastic. The egg and Swiss cheese sandwich was so yummy, with fluffy homemade bread, and that special green sauce enhanced the flavor 10x. She also served me with a glass of fresh orange juice, very smooth and refreshing. The place is a hidden gem, a must-do experience in Astoria. I'd definitely go again."

"This small local restaurant is a hidden gem. Maria, the owner and chef, puts her heart into every dish and welcomes you like family. Everything is fresh and delicious, but for me, nothing beats her orange juice—sweet, natural, and freshly squeezed, the best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, perfect for taking a break from the day. Every visit leaves me wanting to come back. Without a doubt, my favorite spot in town. 💛🍊"

"The food is so good, home made bread,everything fresh,the atmosphere it feels like home, Maria is adorable, she gave me a sweet hug ❤️. The green sauce special was delicious ,she told me some details how to make it. Everything is made it with love, I couldn’t ask for more. Definitely recommend this beautiful cafe spot."

"So glad I stopped in this shop! I got avocado toast and an iced coffee, both portions were very generous and well made. The owner Maria’s bread and hot sauce are both home made and truly delicious. She also let me try her lentil soup which is full of flavor and a generous amount of olive oil. Overall 10/10. I can’t wait to stop by next time I’m in NYC:)"
