KOUKLA ESPRESSO BAR

Along with the usual espresso and beverage menu, this café 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 café 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 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! ☕✨

Amazing brunch spot in the neighborhood. Their espresso martini is perfectly balanced, smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. The coffee quality really stands out, and the brunch menu pairs so well with it. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and great vibes overall. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.

Koukla Espresso Bar is like a trip to a European cafe. Great coffee, croissants, breakfast sandwiches, snd focaccia sandwiches for lunch. I love Aperitvo Hour with a Negroni or glass of wine with some prosciutto and cheese. Great vibe too!

Happy-to-see-you vibe. Great coffee, espresso. Beans roasted in Brooklyn; currently a blend of Guatemala and Columbia—they (the beans) get along. It’s solid, beats the Birch blend in my book. Welcome to the neighborhood, Greece transported meets modern coffee. Play Portes, Plakoto … or just vanilla Backgammon. I can vouch for the Burrata and Omelette. Kalimera!

We’ve been waiting for the opening of this lovely cafe for a month, and we made it to be the second customer! Very spacious, cozy, and elegant decor. We tried the cheese pie and cappuccino, very legit and I look forward to trying the focaccia menu next time 😋

The Oat Banana Latte is delicious! Great balance of flavors. The staff were also very welcoming. I can’t wait to go back for another!

We love this espresso bar, a perfect spot for coffee lovers, offering expertly brewed espresso, lattes. My girlfriend had strawberry matcha latte. We liked Koukla.

Came here on a snowy day. Cappuccino was served in a cute mug albeit not hot enough. A decent croissant. Small space, extensive menu.

Tried Koukla! Saw it pop up recently when I walked past and finally made it today. Barista was very nice, wasn't super busy on a Monday morning. Seems like they have a ton of pastries and things to eat. Wasn't crazy about my latte with hazelnut but I want to go back to try the banana oat latte or a matcha!

Wow, the service was fantastic, and the pastries were even better! It's a new café that just opened up, and I popped in for the first time tonight. I think I even met the owner, a wonderful lady. She was so kind and let me and my friends try a chocolate muffin. I'm giving it a 10/10 and would definitely recommend it! I also tried the turkey avocado sandwich, which was very flavorful. It's a great spot to sit down, grab a coffee or tea, and enjoy a pastry.
