Cozy and beautiful vibe. Food was delicious and the prices are great. Drinks were very good. Definitely will be going back. Owner gave me a delicious Pineapple cake.
After a friends recommendation, seeing their site, and the reviews I decided to come here for brunch with my friends. I had many assumptions about this place. It was a rainy day and there was perhaps two other tables there, so I assumed it would be a quick and easy service. We were seated fairly quickly and eventually ordered our drinks and food. The server mentioned that they were not selling fried items yesterday morning so I was unable to order fries or empanadas (disappointed but I assumed that since there was limited items on the menu, food service would be a lot quicker). The server who took our order, had his phone out to take our orders so I assumed he would take our orders accurately.All my assumptions were wrong. Instead after all our drinks came out (iced cold brew, honey matcha lemonade, and iced chai latte), our foods took about 20-30 mins to come. When the food actually came, only 2 dishes came out, when I ordered 3 dishes. After waiting 25 mins or so (which was when the server came out to take the order for another customer), we asked him where the third dish was. Apparently there was a miscommunication and he had asked if there was only 2 dishes, when I heard did you order 2 of this one dish (which we did).At this point I was upset at the fact that the server did not accurately take our food orders properly. I felt bad my friends were waiting for me (as their food got cold) so I let them eat ahead. I ended up ordering the dish that was missing, which took another 20 minutes (at that point my friends were basically waiting for me) and they forgot my side of toast. At this point, it was pointless to even ask because it would have probably taken another 20 minutes or so.In terms of the food, it was okay. I ordered the same dish as one of my friends: a bacon, gouda, and avocado omelette, which was pretty simple.My other friend ordered the croque madame (grilled mortadella, sauteed mushroom, and spinach. Mozzarella cheese, bechamel sauce on rustic bread with a fried egg on top). Unfortunately, she had to eat hers cold. I ordered a honey matcha lemonade for myself and it was a bit sour for my liking (hardly tasted the honey)Overall, I found my experience pretty disappointing. I would have understood if this was a busy day with a lot of customers, but it was about 2 tables worth of customers, a rainy day, and limited options for brunch.
Excelent service (Vanessa), plate recommendation was even better than what we expected, their truffle delight pizza was a great and very tasteful dish that worked perfect as appetizer as well. Great job for a small growing place, we’ll totally come back!
This a lovely place. I pass by it on my evening walks. Only got the dessert from them so far. The upside down pineapple cake was fabulous.
Great cocktails! Had a refreshing white sangria on a sunny afternoon, the server was super pleasant and attentive and I can’t wait to go back and try the food! Great spot in the neighborhood!
A wonderful and cozy place in a very nice neighborhood in Queens. I had the paella which was amazing and so was the coffee. I would definitely go again and try one of those cakes
The coffee was super dark roast…dope and niceI liked the music nice jazz they should put a bit of lofi too would make the ambient a bit more chill…but overall I like it
Its a small and comfy space. Alex is super wonderful and attentive to detail. I love going here and you can never go wrong with anything that you order here. Im a huge fan of their venezuelan menu - highly recommend the cheese and guava tequeños.
The food and drink is great. They come in big portion sizes. There is outdoor dining. I took off one star because of the slow service. On the day I came, there was only one staff. The wait was long.This is a good place for brunch, especially good coffee.
It’s a little bistro that I’ve passed countless times on my way home, but today I deviated from routine and stopped in for happy hour (4-6pm). I ordered a mojito ($5) and empanadas ($1 a piece). Can I just tell you how good this was? The mojito was fresh and the empanadas were flavorful. My only regret was not stopping here sooner.
This is a LONG overdue review. This is my ABSOLUTE GO TO place in Sunnyside their menu is perfect, everything is so flavorful you’ll definitely come back for more. My favorite on the menu is the poulet de luxe sandwich!
Although The New Yorker sandwich was really good, I was disgusted by the strawberry lemonade that I ordered. I found a finger nail in it. I knew then that the cook doesn’t wear gloves. I’m really disappointed because I was hoping to come back.
Ive lived in Sunnyside for over a year now down the street from here and I watched this place go from a small cafe to just ridiculously good food. IDK what that chef in the back is doing but it is really something special. You HAVE to try this place. Especially the arepas are top notch.
This place is only good for breakfast. Lunch is not upto par and is expensive, but the breakfast is amazing! This place is also usually dirty, after being there 2 times, tables usually never get wiped down after previous customers have finished and left. Wait time to get your food is extremely longgggg (both times). I happened to try the NY strip steak dish for lunch and the meat was overcooked, stiff and dry (due to it being overcooked). If they hadnt made my second experience so bad, and if they kept the place more clean, I would have given it 5 stars.
The food is fantastic in this small neighborhood restaurant. It has small tapas dishes you can order upon request. Spicy shrimp and various empanadas are highly recommended small plates at this joint. Pastas in general are well prepared with good presentations! You will also have many dessert to choose from. The bread pudding is one of our favorites. Enjoy the cute cocktails while you are there!
Great drinks, fries, and sandwiches! I especially liked the strawberry and honey lemonade! Service was a bit slow, but the outdoor area has heat lamps so that was fine!
Loved our lunch here! They have a unique menu and the specials are definitely worth considering. Service is very friendly, although it can take a while before you get your food.
Since, there is not much outdoor sitting in coffee shop during this time . So, we definitely had to try this place.We ordered a regular coffee and cushion, cushion was the best i ever had . Service and place was great too . Definitely come back again.
Small place with delicate design with relax dining environment. We ordered pasta and croissant w Prosciutto . However, the food is a bit too oily for me. Overall it’s a pleasant experience.
This is a favorite neighborhood place serving sandwiches, salads, baked goods, coffee, and pasta. Please note Petite in the restaurant’s name. It is tiny and run by a female chef owner with a few staff members. If going during peak times, like weekend mornings, expect a very long wait to order to go or eat in. The tiny kitchen can only pump out so much food. Favorites are the Spanish Tortillas; Pumpkin Bread; Mocha Gelee; Mortadella Egg Sandwich; Mushroom Pockets; and Cacio e Pepe
2nd time here in less than a week. Amazing food and drinks. A must go
Good, quality and clean food with decent coffee. Theyre certainly making the most of Covid which is nice for the community. I think just a little less on the unhealthy ingredients would be nice for example we had their Croque Madame sandwich, whilst delicious, just very heavy on the cheese! Also had their salmon creme cheese sandwich, would have preferred a bread option rather than something very heavy on the dough. Worth a try this place for sure!
Cozy, delicious and Sofi! Really enjoyed my green lasagna dish but have to be honest and say that the best part of our meal was the server, Sofi, who is also an artist and has her works (and photo) on the wall. She was so welcoming, warm and friendly, with a lovely, light laughter, lthat I was almost instantly smitten. I dont know if this will be the case for you but even if its not the food sounds, looks and tastes good so you wont be disappointed. V small space but wasnt crowded when we went on a Sunday night. Brunch looks good. If/when I come back to Queens Ill have to try it out.
The food was excellent. Presentation was awesome. My omelet was delicious and her chicken pocket was too. Our drinks were also great.
Cute little spot in the heart of Sunnyside! Nice touch on each one of the items on the menu and not only that, but also the space itself. Small, cozy and good taste are probably the best words to describe it. They serve breakfast/brunch/early lunch so make sure u go in the right timeframe. Amazing coffee(espresso), tasty quiche lorraine and delicious Nutella Croissant. If you are lucky, you will also be able to greet the chef Vanessa❤️ Definetely one of the best in Sunnyside!
Loved the Bucatini Alfredo!! First time that i had it i already knew its gonna be my favorite. The Firefly pizza is a must try! We also had the home fries(which i didnt get to take a picture) and got a choice of spicy avocado or firefly aioli. We couldnt decide what to get so we got both dips and theyre the bomb! Im excited to try all the other stuff on the menu but i feel like im sticking to the Bucatini Alfredo. This place is a hidden gem still yet to be discovered by the people around Sunnyside. This is a very cool spot with such tiny space. The music is relaxing. Perfect combo with the food. The staff is great. Customer service on point. Congratulations, Vannessa on your Grand Opening! People are gonna love you!11/14/2020Love the food here. Quality is still on point 2 yrs after opening, but theres a lack of service lately. There was one day we waited to get seated, but there was no one else waiting other than us. I feel like they were too busy with the seated customers at the moment and forgotten to get us our table. It was terrible there was no communication, they could atleast let us know how long is the wait so were not just standing there. We decided to leave and just grabbed food somewhere else.
Food is ALWAYS amazing - the poulet de luxe sandwich is my fave! Frozen cappuccino is delicious. One thing, its better to pay in cash to avoid extra charges
Such a quaint little place located in Sunnyside, by far it’s the cutest coffee shop in the area with extensive drinks and food menus.
Love FireFly Cafe. My absolute fav salad in the neighborhood. Wonderful food, drinks and dessert. Get the dulce de leche cake! You will not be disappointed
When i want to grab a quick breakfast/brunch i come here, huevos ibericos and bacon gouda & avocado omlettes are my favorite dishes here
Chill vibes; small location that only seats about 12 people making it more of a cool intimate setting. Our waitress offered great service and the food was really good! I recommend the oatmeal breaded chicken sandwich.
The food here is delicious especially the AREPAS VIP menu. The ambiance is wonderful and cozy. The service is stellar and the staff is extremely attentive.
As a vegetarian, the options are somewhat limited, and the vegan burger is underwhelming, but the salads are quite good.
Delicious food and super cute restaurant it’s a little bit small inside and they have cover up little outside seating love this family owned business ! Great energy and vibe Thank you will be back very soon
Great place for brunch. Price seems a bit high but portions are generous and really tasty.
Great new Sunnyside spot! Helping us fill the White Cake/Kitchen void. The Vegetarian Pizza was delicious!
I had a terrible experience. I went to the restaurant one time and was given free food after a mis-communication between the waitress and her mother. But, I saw the waitress, Vanessa, and went to the restaurant the second time and was told that everything was good and that there was no need for any concern. We even talked and chatted about how my friend who gave her free product lost his mother to cancer. All of a sudden, I was to pay for the last meal that I had for free plus my bill that was in front of me—- I was shocked, overwhelmed, and shocked. Initially, I thought she and I were on good terms and then she blurted out “I am not welcome to come to the restaurant anymore,” I felt as though she took advantage of my money, time, and kindness... and, was extremely misleading and disrespectful. I do not recommend anyone to go to a restaurant like “firefly” that has a waitress willing to be abusive in tone and service to a regular customer who may or may not be having a bad day.
Amazing discovered this little treasure a week ago and love it good is amazing very homey and delicious drinks are good great time ! Thank you will be coming often !
A real gem!!! Everything tastes delicious 🤤, my recommendation would be to try the whole menu!
Small beautiful and cozy place, good for a healthy breakfast or brunch. food was good but I wouldnt call it amazing! service was great and people were very friendly.
Fantastic little corner to sit for coffee and food. Very nice atmosphere and the selection of food is very good (fantastic sandwiches, pizzas and cakes!!!) as well as delicious. And the staff is so kind and joyful!!! The best spot in the area!
We came to firefly Restaurant on 43rd Ave in Sunnyside, and I must say I was incredibly pleasantly surprised. The surf and turf burger blew me away. Its incredibly delicious. Along with the Mango Sangria just made it a very memorable late afternoon meal. I recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a tasty delicious burger.
Excellent place for brunch, lunch, dinner. My husband and I come here often and we’re never disappointed. So far we have tried the Margarita Pizza, spinach & cheese empanadas, fries and huevos ibericos. Everything is delicious, and perfectly portioned. And the hot & cold drinks and deserts are to die for! Excellent service and very consistent quality.
Delicious food with nice quiet cozy place. And the owner was very friendly. Will be here soon :)
The food here was some of the best I have had in a long time!
Truly an underrated Gem in Sunnyside. The cilantro sauce with those tasty and delicious empanadas are fantastic.
Great coffee and friendly staff. They have a lot of milk alternative options as well. Looking forward to trying there food soon. Not a ton of seating If you’re planning on going with a large group.
This place is a gem. The food was really good and enjoyable. Were definitely looking forward to coming back. I took off one star because the service is rather slow. But to be fair it was also really busy here! Food and drinks and worthwhile though.
I didnt want to be too rude. But the food was not good enough to make up for the terrible service.35 minutes waiting for a table when they werent busy. While we were waiting a different customer had to find the waiter to remind him of the drinks they had been waiting for. Even after that, they still had to wait 15 more minutes.This was all before we even say down. It took another 30 minutes to get our drinks. They were just ok. We ordered wine after our cocktails, and not 1 but 2 bottles of white wine were warm.I ordered mushroom/mozzarella empanadas and got the bacon ones. Im a vegetarian, so rather than eating it. I let my gf and her friends eat them so they wouldnt go to waste. The main course was, again, just ok.Once we got the bill we had yet more issues, we used a Pulse voucher and the waiter had issues with getting the total correct. After calling his manager he got it straightened out but again..the service was just awful. My friends and I stayed and tried to have a good time. But I cant guarantee that will be back. Perhaps since they live close they may give it another shot.
Food is good but i wish the service was better. I hate to be “that person” but it looks like I’m going to have to. We arrived and waited for a table and there were two waitresses on staff. One waitress was serving food and the other was in the back in full view of us waiting for a table. A table opened but was dirty. We waited about 10 minutes for it to be cleaned and in this time the server in the back sitting down is watching this while the other is serving food. We finally sat and our table was cleaned by the server who was serving the other tables. Another couple came and the waitress comes from the back jumps and cleans their table right away and says “sorry for the wait”. They waited less than a minute. Perhaps we just looked a certain way that she did not want to come and seat us but we got up and started to walk out. Only then did she address us and asked what the problem was. She said she was sorry we felt that way. We replied that its not how we felt, its what happened. Pretty outrageous that they would treat potential customers like this.
Best experience I’ve ever had, had the chance to try their empanadas and there’s one with bacon that there’s no way to explain, ordered a baked bolognese with chicken and there’s an amazing twist on this plate, is a small bistro but with so much potential, I totally recommend this place for lunch/dinner.Note: great background music too.
I loved the food! My mango sangria was delicious. I truly enjoyed our meal. Mom loved her meal! We will be back
We love it ! the service it was great they was so friendly and the food is delicious!! cute and comfortable place I will definitely will back !!
Soothing, warm European feel with tasty food and good wine. I also have had a great burger with an interesting IPA. I just felt comfortable... I am going again tonight.
I don’t normally leave reviews but the vegetarian pizza pie was amazing. Really great food and fast delivery thank you
This is the best pizza I’ve ever had in New York, reminds me of my hometown.. I love it ❤️👏Such a beautiful Bistro, and amazing food.I had The daylight turf pizza 🍕 and it was amazing..! made with fresh mushrooms and real truffle oil u can tell of the beautiful smell, I had Fresh Oysters as well it was just opened and really fresh with Delicious sauce and dressing on the side… I’m sure a hundred percent the burger is great and the Mini empanada too.. they have a delicious Alfredo pasta 🍝 looks so good, and they have great drinks and cocktails and a big bunch of dessert 🍨 Worth a try.🤞Great service, very nice people ,nice music, and I love the simple lights.
I 100% recommend this place , the food is great specially the Poulet de Luxe sandwich was amazing , the chicken was nice and tender and crispy , the fries that comes with it was so good along with the homemade tartar sauce , I liked it because it’s homemade and not pre cooked . Vanessa the owner is very welcoming and sweet , this is a small bistro perfect for date night and brunch with your friends .
Very few times do I write reviews, however this hole in the wall deserves it. The ambiance is peaceful which is hard to find in the middle of everything going on. The food is on POINT! It has flavor and the ingredients are fresh. I ordered a spinach cream soup and a sunnyside salad, the spinach soup isn’t something that comes out of a can you can tell this is something your mom would make at home. The salad for something that’s simple many people can easily mess this up, however even the salad was great perfect portion size and the ingredients were mixed just right! I hope this small business goes very far because they deserve it with their quality food!
Best caramel latte ever and amazing food! A must try in Sunnyside
Delicious Pavlova 😍 and the fruit so sweet and fresh!
Always enjoy the delicious food, but do recommend picking it up. The service unfortunately is slow and now we have to think twice before sitting down. Again, always delicious food and drinks! But just wish they had quicker service or more staff on hand.
Firefly, is my favorite place in the nieghborhood to enjoy bistro-style food that is unique and truly delicious. They have great mixed drinks, Beer, Wine and Sangria. I highly recommend this place whether you are one person or a large group celebrating together. The Arepas are phenomenal. Make sure to try the Capellini, Bucatini, Truffle Delight Pizza and The Empanadas. The burgers are juicy and delicious. Bistecca BBQ and Beef Nero Arosto Sandwich are fantastic. You can’t go wrong with this menu. Even the Salads are above and beyond.Enjoy!
Great spot for a morning coffee or brunch.The food was beautifully prepared, and the service was fast. Nice quiet placement in Sunnyside also a plus.
Amazing place loved the pizza. The sauce was just amazing
From the menu to the decor to the ambiance - one word: classy!One of the finest dining experiences.Menu tip: The margarita pizza is unlike any other!
Very delicious, cozy and cute! Definitely come again! Thank you!
Small place great atmosphere hospitality is amazing there food delicious I will definitely go.back again to.try the reset of there menu
Great petit cafe in the neighborhood. Saw their Yelp reviews and everyone had nice things to say. Decided to try it for myself. Went on a casual Saturday brunch and was impressed.The Food is delicious. Its made with love and the chef pays attention to detail! Will definitely stop back and order some more!
Food is good but some of the staff here is rude over simple matters. I completely get how working in service is hard because so many people are just jerkoffs but it is hard to come back here more often after experiences like that. I like the food and coffee here so much too but Im just not going to come spend money at the place that is rude over simple questions. You can just simply tell us you dont have a table. We werent going to give you a hard time about it.
The food here is WONDERFUL!! The staff is very friendly and hard-working.
We had dinner here and the food was okay.... Thought wed give it another go for brunch and again, it was just okay. The pizza had good toppings but a dense and tough crust... The croque madame was extremely heavy on the cheese, with well overdone eggs.Service was good when it was quiet (Sunday dinner), but very slow when busier (Saturday brunch) even though its a tiny place.One thing that annoyed me... We asked if our dishes came with a side of fries as we just wanted a few, and when the server said no, we ordered some... Turns out one of the meals did come with fries, and we ended up with two many (paid $10 for the extra side). Granted the server seemed new and probably didnt know, it was annoying, and wed rather she checked.
Small place but everything on the menu either looks great or taste great (havent gone through the whole thing). The coffee is great, the baked good are unique and amazing but the staff is incredible. Everyone is so nice and happy to be there which says a lot about the management. This has become my favorite breakfast spot in the area.
Excellent food, presentation is aesthetically appealing, excellent service a wonderful place to celebrate my 71st birthday. Thank you for all your hard work everyday to make it all happen.
As a former chef of many years, I am very wary of leaving negative reviews online. I understand that mixups can happen and, especially in times of Covid, we all need to support local. But a recent experience with Firefly left such a bitter taste that I feel obliged to share.On Sunday 3/14, I ordered a sandwich for pickup through delivery.com. The website initially told me the expected pickup time was 40 mins later. Unfortunately, it took Firefly 20 mins to accept the order, and once they did so, the updated pick up time shifted to a total 60 mins after I placed my order. This seemed like a long time for sandwich and some fries, but I was willing to take part of the blame for ordering through what appeared to be a 3rd party platform.I went into the restaurant 60 mins after placing my order — the time at which I was told the food would be ready — and it quickly became apparent the kitchen hadnt even started making my order. The manager/server told me not to worry and that my order would be ready in 5-7 mins. Because I live around the corner, I asked him to call me when it was ready as I didnt want to get in the way by waiting in their very tight dining area. 7 mins came and went and it ultimately took a total 30 mins extra before the sandwich was finally ready. When I went in to collect the order, the member of staff that I had communicated with made no effort whatsoever to apologize or even acknowledge the 90 minutes (!) it took to make a sandwich — let alone try and make it up in some way.As I mentioned before, I believe it is more important than ever to support local businesses right now. But I dont think that should give restaurants a pass and allow them to provide terrible customer service as in this case. The food I received was quite good, though nothing special, and certainly not the worth the $20 I ended up spending with tip. I will continue to support local but nothing about todays experience made even the slightest case for returning to Firefly.
Good food quality and friendly staff
The service is super slow, we waited an hour to get our food. The food wasn’t good; empanadas were filled with what tasted like canned mushroom soup or pre made mushroom pasta sauce. The entire time they were blasting really sad sad pop songs that just killed the mood.The menu was also different than expected and many items didn’t have a price.
Friendliest staff in Sunnyside! Best chicken in all of NYC, and when they did a set up outside due to covid they had amazing heaters where we didn’t feel uncomfortable in 35 degrees. This place is truly like home
Does not have respect for customers. I use to frequent quite often specifically for the empanadas. I stopped when the owner brought me my order to go, as I waited curbside, she was not wearing a mask or gloves. As I was getting the money out my wallet to pay, she placed my food on the black wooden seat (this was unsanitary). I was appalled! The seat had not been wiped down & exposed to pollution from the cars. She was evidently annoyed having to wait . She did not say thank you. Not wearing a mask, placing my food on the bench, not saying thank you showed her arrogance! I stopped going; and I have taken my money elsewhere. For sometime, the owner wouldnt wear a mask. Ive passed by & have seen her wearing one now. Glad to see she is taking the pandemic serious!Follow-up to Owners Reply: You took the time to reply in an unprofessional manner. Evidently, you do not take constructive criticism well. It was not the 1st time you were not wearing a mask. Even if you were helping out, you should have worn a mask. Your comment solidifies why I should not go back. You should have simply apologized. Your arrogance has caused you to lose a customer; I will not return! I dont need you. You need customers; dont bite the hand that feeds you!
Firefly offers exceptional food, beautiful ambiance and great service. My boyfriend and I have been dining in and out at Firefly for about a year since moving to Sunnyside, it is our Go-To spot! The food is 5-star! While we miss dining in, this restaurant does an amazing job packaging food to-go and it feels as if you are at the restaurant! I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to dining in person again soon!
At the advice of one of their employees, I wont be coming back here anymore.The service was especially slow today with a bad attitude, which isnt unusual here but whatever.Getting right to the point, when the bill came the croque madame was listed at $16 + $2.50 for a brie upgrade which we did not order. When we asked about the server said that the normal price is $18.50 and thats just how the register rang it up. It seemed weird but whatever we paid. When we left we noticed on the menu outside that the price for the item is $14, not even $16!Went back in to complain and she seemed really annoyed, barely said anything, then threw $4 in cash at us (we paid by card). There was no apology, no acknowledgement she lied to our face about the price, and gave us less back than we were overcharged, not even accounting for tax or anything.Like, its not a big difference at that point but how are you going to give back LESS than the amount that you overcharged?? It seemed to annoy her even more when I didnt just accept it so when she took out an extra $1.75 and threw it so carelessly that the change went on the floor, I demanded the tip back because the service and attitude were terrible.At the point the other guy behind the counter muttered dont come back then, and well, you all got your wish!
Waitress was super kind, good food, easy seating accommodations. Sangrias were the best I’ve ever had, highly recommend mango sangria
This is a really cute and quaint cafe with about ten 2-person tables with table service. The chai latte was delicious and the perfect temperature! My partner loved his benedictine, but I was really disappointed in mine. I got the acai bowl and it was watery and the smoothie was flavorless. Tasted like melted ice. It also took a long time to get our check after requesting it twice.
Amazing latte. Food looked and smelled delicious, unfortunately I had already ate when met my friends for a quick chat. Definitely, I will try it next time. ☕🥐🍳
Very good coffee but insane prices. $5.50 for a 16oz. iced coffee is far too much (and not labelled clearly on the menu board). Its nice to have a place like this in the neighborhood, and I havent tried the food yet, but hopefully they adjust prices to more realistic levels.
Extremely wonderful and quaint. Im a huge fan of the soups here.
Best place in Sunnyside, food is amazing and service is great.Highly recommend it.
Delicious!!!!! 100% recommended.
Great food and service. Alexander and Olga are very gracious owners of this establishment. Will be back for another visit.
A little cafe right by an acupuncturists office I was checking out. Menu looks amazing... got to try their spinach torta. Two large slices and a side salad! Delicious. Also their tiny bathroom and its decor was tastefully done.
Five stars - always awesome to see a neighborhood-run shop, and this one is top notch. Great food, great coffee, great service. They even display the works of local artists on the walls! Highly recommended whether you need a good cappuccino or a delicious pastry
Let me tell you something guys... if you are looking for AMAZING food, GREAT SERVICE, and a cozy atmosphere this is the right place!We had a great experience, very nice and multicultural neighborhood to hang out after dinner.Empanadas WOW ! after the first one I got addicted lol... nice concept.Thank you very much chef Vanessa for such warm a great experience.Highly recommended
A bit overpriced, like iced latte is $6.25 + tax!When you ask them a little bit of milk for your coffee, they charge $2 or so. Sometimes service can be super slow. Otherwise it’s a good place to stop by.
Amazing food and great service, very chill and cozy. You can really tell they put a lot of thought in their recipes. So happy to have a spot like this in Sunnyside. Came for brunch and had the croquet madam a la firefly - delicious!Will definitely come back for lunch and dinner as well.Sunnyside es this is a must!
Had a great lunch here! Menu was lovely and food was delicious. The place was small but cozy and interesting. Staff were really helpful too.
Small, cozy place with a unique atmosphere. Sense the family owned feel when you come in. Great to enjoy a dish or come by and chill by the window. Matcha latte is worth the try!
Coffee is solid. Bakery and other small to go food items are very good.Always understaffed, and so there is an wait for basic stuff. Why do they try to be a full service restaurant when they only have 3 tables? Generally needs to do many things to improve.
OMG Im blown away. So delicious. I got the bucatini alfredo❤, mini empanadas, sunnyside salad and my daughter the chix nuggets and fries... all of it is fabulous. Good job!
The food was really delicious especially the pizza the ambience of place was amazing you gotta try the pina colada.
This place would be a five star is some things were adjusted. The food is all very good but the prices are too high for what you get. The regular iced coffee is more expensive than cold brew that you will find at other places in the neighborhood. In addition, I have experienced long wait times.
The coffee and breakfast are incredibly delicious. And their pastries are some of the best I’ve tried in NYC. Personally, their pineapple cake, the Mortadella and Huevos Rancheros blow my mind. Best little coffee shop!
First time and I will be back, great food, waitress Sophia couldnt be nicer, free cupcakes, good background music, very relaxing atmosphere, we spent a good 3hrs there and only left cause they needed the table. A nice addition to Sunnyside.
One of the best omelettes I’ve ever had and definitely the best omelette of 2018. Bacon, Gouda, and avocado with a surprise of caramelized onions. The croissant was like biting in a pastry-butter heaven. 11/10, will be back
This tiny charmer is clean, white, and the walls feature art by locals. It holds a handful of tables, cheek by jowl, so if privacy is what you are after dont expect to find it here. What you will find is a delicious array of simple, and satisfying fare, like the Huevos Rotos with Spanish Artisan Chorizo, hearty Pork Ragu, and their Caprino e Paprika Pizza. They also have a tasty selection of baked goods, and serve a great cup of coffee for times when you just need a quick grab and go. Whatever you have a taste for come in and say hi to the friendly folks at Firefly. Like its namesake, Firefly may be small, but it glows brightly.
Nice environment, great food and drinks!
Good food, friendly staffs, nice place, seatings are comfortable.Pleade hire a exterminator! Clean up the bathroom. Especially in the basement.We found a bug on the table. We didnt say anything but we are not going back.
Very cozy and the food was amazing highly recommend to visit here plus outdoor dining was cute and truly satisfied will visit again.
Bucatini Alfredo no taste so plain just regular bacon supposed to have “pancetta” not a regular bacon , pizza is saggy and wet
Slow service, the server forgot something we ordered. Overpriced menu items for not getting what’s advertised on social media. Very disappointed after the second visit and seeing the same problem occurred.
Firefly welcome to Sunnyside! I just had the ‘The New Yorker’ classic smoked salmon & cream cheese made extraordinarily in a croissant together with tomatoe, avocado & capers! Wonderful combination. Firefly bistro is very clean, friendly service and overall a delightful experience on a Saturday.
Their salad is really good, but I got a 25% off card to use online from them except no coupon code. So when I called asking about this, the guy on the phone had no clue what I was talking about.
Absolutely love this place!! Every single plate is incredible at any time. Beautiful service, Beautiful coffee and the best match latte ever
Great brunch with delicious, fresh ingredients, excellent coffee and friendly service!
Casual, low stress, consistently GREAT food. Fun outdoor seating. Neighborhood fav.
Their prices are very reasonable. Their service is superb. Their food is delectable! Amazing!!!
Our go-to neighborhood spot. Always amazing food, drinks and service. 🍽️🍸👏 Dont miss it.
Staff is so nice and the food is so delicious and ambiance lovely. If I lived in the area I would be a repeat customer.
I must recommend the raspberry lemon cake—it is so divine!
The food is good. The deliveries are fast. I think is just a little overpriced but the quality of their product is really good. Also it has a small sitting area.
Most cozy, warmest, delicious coffee spot in Sunnyside! Great service by kind people. You won’t regret trying it out.
Small space, but delicious food! Great for breakfast, lunch or brunch. Perfect for 2 people to enjoy a nice meal out on the town.
Delicious! We had the shrimp pasta and the Alfredo as well as the butternut squash soup. The bread is unbelievable!
Awesome place! Great food! Friendly and attentive service. Favorite breakfast option is Huevos Rancheros with Crispy Bacon, it’s delicious.
What can I say this place makes one of my favorite pizzas ever!!!!! The Truffle Prosciutto Mushroom HITS THE SPOT EVERY TIME!!!!!
Food are great.Service is very slow.
Very expensive but veryyy good, size portions of delivery are smaller than the ones that you can have going to the place. Definitely one of my favorites place in my neighborhood!! Well Done!!
Horrible service!! Sat waiting for 15 minutes, no one even approached even though I was the only person in the entire restaurant. I gotUp and left.
The sandwich was delicious, but the service was so slow. Probably better for take out.
Please survive covid. I had some drinks and snack outside but I was so cold. Seems like a great place to eat inside.
Do you guys not see the value in social distancing? Curious to see several folks inside, eating and seated within a foot of each other tonight. Let’s follow the guidelines folks.
Lovely little place with great service and awesome food. Def recommended.

Food is great, very intimate setting. Be patient, food and service can take a while but its worth it.
Cute little place with delicious food and friendly staff - loved the cacio e pepe and spinach soup!
Everything was delicious
Fine quality food and nice service. A little pricey and an annoying service charge 3.99% on ALL credit card charges.
The owner is very rude, the chocolate croissant tasteless and over priced. The service takes forever!! Never recommend this place at all!!!
I was hoping for the GF pizza but they were out (on a Monday).
Lovely staff and space. Could be a bit pricey but the food is so good. I go for special occasions
Best artisanal pizza in Queens. Tiny place but nice vibe with great music!
Personal and brilliant service from the owner and the food and drink was excellent too. Very nice little place.
Good place for hang out with friend.Good food too
Drip coffee served as cold brew, bread was stale. When questioned about it, they got defensive.

Mi lugar favorito!! La comida DELICIOSA, el servicio EXCEPCIONAL. Recomiendo este lugar al 100%
This place deserves 10 stars. Arrive for lunch and delicious food. Vanessas attention is exceptional and the tranquility of the environment is the best.PS: I forgot to take the photo before eating the delicious carrot cake😋😋😋
All delicious!Ive been several times and always great. Everything I have always asked to eat was delicious, I also went to snack and it is wonderful.(The photo I put of the pasta had already begun to eat and thats why it looks a bit ugly, sorry)
We loved the place. The delicious food, the dessert, not to mention super divine and the best attention, the owner is a beauty, they attend you personally and super friendly. We have been several times already and we always love all the spectacular food. The super recommended brutal burgers 🥳
If you want to eat an excellent pasta, a divine pizza and an exceptional cake in a super intimate and cozy place, this is the place, everything is incredible 😍😍😍😍😍👍
The food is not bad, but we had the worst service I have ever had in NYC. They took forever to serve us and bring the drinks and food. And then the waitress would come every five minutes to try to clear our plates and drinks and for us to leave. And all this during his celebration of 3 years. We will never return to this place (and we are neighbors).
The Surf and turf hamburger was delicious, the decoration was very cozy.

2022-07-05You can tell the owner is so passionate about what she does. The plates are made with care and love, but more importantly they taste great. All our food was really well seasoned and delicious. My only suggestion would be to make the portion bigger of the chalupa dish. It’s considered “Plato Fuerte” (big/heavy dish) on the menu but it will NOT fill you up at all. But all in all, great experience- and thank you for the free dessert for my sister who graduated!

2022-06-05We ate here for a late lunch in the spring and had the Mini Empanadas, delicious! The chicken Sofrito plus the Spinach ones were amazing. Fresh and tasty. We will be eating here again on our next trip to Queens! Staff was very nice and friendly.

2021-08-22First, I had the almond croissant which was fresh and soft. The almonds on top added a wonderful crunch to the pastry, but the filling was warm and subtly sweet. The size of the croissant is a single serving but you can split it with someone if you’re going to make it part of a larger meal.The empanadas were crispy and flaky, I only ate the chicken empanada. It is served with a sauce on the side, I can’t recall what it is but I added some to make the empanada creamy.The croque madame was a large serving, almost too much. It would have been an easy entree to share. It is covered with cheese that is melted over the fresh bread, and egg. The saltiness of the ham adds to every bite of spinach and crunchy toast.It was my first time trying Huevos Ibéricos and it was just as tasty as the madame. I think the cheese and meat are well balanced in the sandwich, and the cheese is a topping rather than a main ingredient like the Madame. It also comes with curly fries topped with marinara sauce.A refreshing serving of greens and tangy cranberries are what makes the cranberry and apple salad delectable. The walnuts are soft but add plenty of texture to the Parmesan cheese and mixed greens.Overall, I was not disappointed by any one item, but the Madame and Huevos Ibéricos are large servings so keep that in mind. The chef did an excellent job and the service was exemplary.

2021-08-07Delicious and cute neighborhood spot with great outdoor seating! The margarita was a bit sweet for my taste, but they have a great wine and beer collection. Started with Tequenas, which were little breaded cheese sticks - yum! Then had the burger and a veggie pizza. Great friendly service! Will definitely come back!

2021-10-17The staff very courteous and friendly. The Food VERY GOOD!!! HIGHLY recommended😍. We went for brunch looking for pancakes or waffles (because my friend is vegetarian) but, the spinach pancakes it wouldnt be something that I would recommend (I tried once and I didnt like the taste veggie/honey) probably because (for me not a good match) but, oatmeal pancakes with blueberries or peaches (on the sweeter side), also they didnt have a fruit bowl 🤔 the only things I would add to the menu😋. And also I have a question for the costumers in general! When we paid, a service for using the credit card was charged SVC something like that, it is this new?? I didnt remember seen it before at other restaurants🤷. Wasnt that much but, almost 4$ I can bring cash next time a save that amount not? 🙈...Im sorry but, fair is fair. Everyone have been affected by these harsh times 😔💔

2021-11-04Great ambiance, wide wine selection and, of course, Delicious food!! The margherita pizza was fresh and tasteful, topped with a fresh mozzarella Di bufala which gave it a unique touch. A woodside local gem, totally recommended!!
