“ First time visiting on a Saturday around 11am, there was a small line but barely a wait and decent amount of seats! The matcha is phenomenal! Got the egg sando and sausage egg and cheese as well. Everything was delicious and so reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back again and again ”
“ Really great cafe on Astoria Blvd! I went on Friday afternoon and it was PACKED. I can see why it’s a popular spot. Nice seating, wifi, great drinks and food. The price is worth it. I got the Strawberry Matcha and Egg Sandwich and they were small but delicious! Other reviewers said they only have food Fri-Sun so I tried my chances on a Friday and was glad to see the menu. I wish they had food on other days of the week though. Only downside is the place is rather small and the tables / bar seats are quite close to each other. There’s no sense of privacy but still plenty of people had their laptops out. ”
“ Verse is a very charming and warm coffee/matcha shop on a somewhat lonely strip of Astoria Blvd. Service is friendly, matcha is good and they actually have great coffee too! WiFi is spotty. Their loyalty reward card is a bonus that keeps me coming back. ”
“ Their strawberry matcha latte with oat milk was delicious! They also have a wide selection of desserts. The store is quiet and peaceful, making it a very relaxing place to be. ”
“ I ordered the Matcha Einspänner and absolutely loved it! The matcha flavor really shines rich, slightly bitter, and nutty just how I like it. It’s perfectly balanced, not too milky or watery. The cream on top adds a subtle sweetness and creamy texture that blends beautifully with the bold matcha underneath. Seriously, one of the best matcha drinks I’ve had. Highly recommend! ”
“ If you're looking for the best coffee in New York, you absolutely have to check this place out! The coffee is simply outstanding, and the food is nothing short of exquisite. The owners are wonderful people who genuinely care about their customers and are incredibly attentive. This spot is the perfect place to grab a coffee or enjoy a meal on the weekends. The atmosphere is fantastic, and it’s exactly what Astoria has been missing. Highly recommend! ”
“ Found this coffee shop randomly on Google maps, and am so glad I did. Great place to study/chat with friends. Wide selection of specialty drinks. I got the honey osmanthus! The egg sando is also super delicious ”
“ Verse is a clean, well-organized cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. The space is cozy and comfortable—many people come here to work on their laptops. Great coffee, tasty bakery options, and light bites available on weekends make it a perfect spot to relax or get work done. ”
