"My husband and I love DAGNY! Diego makes amazing lattes! Staff is so nice and the environment is so cozy and welcoming."

"I really want to love, support, and patronize this place, but they make it so hard! Let's start with the good. The space is very clean, organized, comfortably furnished, and generally elegant. There are few spaces like it in Astoria. Most other cafes and restaurants around here are small and crowded. The menu is elevated comfort and diner food. The food is consistently good, and there's something for everyone. It's a good spot for brunch, or lunch, or a very early dinner, because they close pretty early, like 5-7, that seems to change often. Now the bad. Every time I have been there, the music is excessively loud, converting an elegant space into a hostile atmosphere. And every time I have asked the waiter or manager to please consider turning it down, especially when there are few other customers, they have deflected in one way or another. One time, a very friendly waiter said it was unfortunately not up to them, and she profusely apologized that the manager would not turn it down. Another time, a male server behind the counter said he would turn it down, but then he did not. My friends and I could not enjoy our conversation over there, the music was so overbearing, so we went back home to hang out. So long story short, 1) great space and 2) solid menu, but 3) excessively loud music creating a hostile atmosphere :-("

"Food is definitely overpriced for what you’re getting. Side salad is just a box of spinach. nothing else. coffee is okay!! syrups taste a little artificial. vegetarian/vegan options could use some help. other than the menu, staff is great! Super kind and nice experience with them."

"The vibes are definitely off in this place. The more recent reviews describing the rude behavior of the staff are accurate. There are separate areas and ordering systems for eating and drinking coffee which is confusing, and they seem angry if you just want to order a coffee? The whole place just felt a bit hostile which is a shame because it looked so cozy online. The coffee itself was mostly lukewarm milk. Had high hopes this could become a regular spot for me, but will not be returning."

"A very beautiful space with cozy sofas, interior and light. The food wasn’t something crazy about: we took potatoes, parsnip soup, and tiramisu latte, they were okay. The place by itself was a little bit dirty on the floor, and some details, as a server that didn’t know that tiramisu includes alcohol in a recipe, and the fact that the same coffee was served in different cups, brought a feeling of mess, however I want to come back for lazy mornings atmosphere. We parked right near the main entrance, however it’s under construction zone now."
