“Along with the usual espresso and beverage menu, this cafe surprisingly offers a lot of food options (pastries, sandwiches, acai bowls, and salads) which is more than I was expecting for an espresso bar. I got a large Matcha Latte ($5), Blueberry Scone ($?? ), Caramel Donut ($4), and a Banana Bread ($7). The Matcha Latte was creamy and nutty and delicious. It was also such a bargain at five bucks! The Blueberry Scone was tender and flaky. I actually don't know how much I paid for this one as I forgot to grab the receipt when I left. The Caramel Donut was pretty good. It was dipped in icing and topped with (I think) mini caramel balls. It was sweet but not necessarily caramelly, if that makes sense. The Banana Bread was pretty good, moist and sweet. The cafe itself was lovely and I noticed a couple of patrons sitting with their laptops working. And I totally get it- the space was quiet, not too crowded and had great drinks I've mentally added this place to my list of good spots to get some work done without being bothered.”

“Koukla Espresso Bar has become my daily ritual and a true gem in the neighborhood! The moment I cross the street, the barista spots me through the window and begins preparing my favorite Freddo espresso--it feels so personalized! I've indulged in almost all the pastries, each one fresh and absolutely delightful. Today, I treated myself to their pancakes for brunch, and they were irresistibly fresh and fluffy. The atmosphere is always warm, thanks to the super welcoming and friendly owner and staff. Every visit feels like catching up with friends. Highly recommend Koukla for anyone looking for great coffee and a cozy vibe! ”

“Koukla Espresso Bar in Astoria is a total gem! Bright, Mediterranean vibes, friendly staff, and spot-on coffee and brunch. Their espresso is rich and smooth, lattes are creamy perfection, and the omelette (fluffy and packed with flavor) was a highlight alongside delicious avocado toast and flaky pastries. Fresh, high-quality ingredients every time. Cozy spot, great for a relaxed morning. If you want excellent coffee, brunch, and a killer omelette, Koukla is a must! ”
