When you explore off the beaten path, you often find a gem of a discovery. Astor Bake Shop provides just such an experience for those who search for an authentic cafe in the historic neighborhood of Old-Astoria. Operated by famous restaurateur and chef George McKirdy, Astor Bake Shop is a respite and haven for Queens locals, serving up breakfast and brunch, lunch, and dinner, along with choice beverages of beer and wine.

Although well-known for its decadent cupcakes and pastries, Astor Bake Shop is most proud of its custom blends of coffee, roasted locally by Brooklyn based micro roaster, Stone Street Coffee. The bake shop changes their “featured” coffee biweekly, introducing customers to unique blends and exquisite flavors.

Other beverages include Astor Bake Shop’s signature “gingerade,” iced teas, and salted lemonades. For lunch and dinner, Astor Bake Shop serves an American and European fusion fare, including savory sandwiches, zesty salads, and flavorful burgers. The garlic fries, in particular, have received special accolades from Yelp users in the area.
