If you don't order the stuffing, you will be miserable the rest of you life. Do it. Be happy.
Alex BlackApril 7, 2017Not vegan. Everything is made with cheese or egg. You can't really substitute either because cheese is the main theme here.
Sean SmithOctober 5, 2014The grilled cheese here is amazing and their cider/kombucha taps are crazy.
Laura BoutwellMay 26, 2014Such a great place. My only complaint is it's too popular! But deservedly so!- You can't go wrong here. The sangwinches are unbelievable and you absolutely need to get a latte!
Try the Bourganel..I swear it's the closest thing to Butterbeer I've ever tasted. The whole place is choice.
Tomato Soup and Gruyere with Caramelized Onions sandwich make my day much happier. Absolutely love this place.
Joseph BartelsDecember 21, 2014Rancher's eggs is amazing brunch item but highly overpriced. It's closer to a $9 meal, not $14!
James AllenMarch 24, 2012Don't be stuck watching someone else eat the Gouda sandwich. The others are good but that one will still make you very jealous.
Grilled cheese, tomato soup, Ethiopian coffee. Perfect for a rainy winters day.
One of my favorite spots in Astoria, but the music is louder than it needs to be. This ain't no club.- K BOctober 11, 2013Wifi turns off at 5 PM (previously 6 PM) but can be spotty. If you're coming here to utilize it, be sure to ask first whether it is actually working.
k r y s t a lOctober 6, 2011Dip your grilled cheddar & mozzarella in the tomato soup! Definitely my kind of comfort food.
classic mozz and cheddar grilled cheese is the way to go!
President's Day brunch. Discovered the wonderful Eggs & Cheese sandwich today !
Laptop squatters paradise. Electrical outlet for every desk on the left side coming in.
Tucker WMarch 14, 2012Delicious food and beer! Only thing you should know is that it's cash only for the time being.
Nazary NebelukAugust 14, 2014Innovative beer cocktails but if you don't like cheese stay away from the food

JenKuduAugust 25, 2012Queso falls flat! They fry their own tortilla chips which are horribly greasy! Doesn't go well with the Queso that takes on a weird texture and seperates from the beer. Stick to the grilled cheese.
Charles QuirinJuly 26, 2016Beer! More complicated coffees can be a hit or miss but the beans are good.
Wynoami GlasserSeptember 22, 2011Try the Gouda with black bean hummus, jalapeño, and guava jam. Delicious!
AngieJanuary 26, 2013Get the Gouda -- black bean hummus, guava jam, pickled jalapeno on brioche. Cheemazing!
María Del Mar SalgeSeptember 6, 2014The place is awesome but no wifi during the weekends afternoon and the food is ok
Eliza PingJanuary 13, 2012Still a cash only joint, but the coffee is delicious and so are the sandwiches.
- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Late hours. Coffee from Coffee Labs Roasters in Tarrytown, NY. Craft ales. Quality ciders. Fancy grilled cheese and brunch classics. Find all of this in Astoria at the very welcome Queens Kickshaw. Read more
Brian MerzMarch 14, 2012Don't put milk or sugar in your coffee. It is too good and you won't taste it as much
Nick RovisaNovember 14, 2011Gourmet grilled cheese and hard cider. This place should become a Queens staple for years to come.
