Caffe Torino

“A beautiful spot in a prime location--perfect for locals who can just step downstairs to a corner coffee shop with an open-concept layout, lush greenery, and great aesthetics. There's plenty of seating, even for groups of six, making it ideal for hanging out. The bakery is stacked with options, from pistachio muffins to thick, juicy baklavas. The menu is simple, with average pricing in line with nearby spots. I did try a vanilla iced latte, but it was watered down despite not waiting long--maybe the hot version is better. I also had an affogato; while the gelato wasn't super creamy, it blended nicely with the espresso--definitely worth a try on a hot summer day”

“Caffe Torino in Astoria is a charming cafe with stylish indoor and outdoor seating that creates a cozy, welcoming vibe. The coffee was above average--rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. They also offer a tempting selection of pastries and gelato, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. I didn't try the gelato this time, but it looked delicious, and I'm definitely coming back for it. A solid addition to the Astoria cafe scene with both looks and quality.”

“I stumbled upon this cute little cafe while looking for a place to sit and have a coffee and a bite. The oversized windows were wide open and inviting, so I walked right in. Everything looked delicious, but I settled on a cranberry muffin, which was beautiful. Later in the day, they also make pizza. I enjoyed my time here, having a bit of breakfast while doing a little remote work. It's a great addition to the neighborhood, and they have outdoor seating, too.”
