What People Are Saying About Cafe Bar

In Short
The devoted local crowd appreciates the bar's eclectic eats, extensive cocktail selection and funky interior. The mismatched, space-age decor--chrome lighting fixtures, beaded curtains, Lucite chairs--is culled from area flea markets, second-hand stores and even the street, while owner Monica Contantinides encourages her staff to contribute its own aesthetic sensibilities. During the day, the emphasis is on the menu of salads, sandwiches, wraps and crepes, with a Mediterranean flare. At night, it transforms into the bar.

The bartender ruined my experience. He was rude and pretentious. He told me I had to be patient he was busy when he avoided giving me my change for 10 minutes.

I love going here for brunch, especially when the weather is nice enough to allow outdoor seating. The mimosas are fantastic, and I've never been disappointed with a dish here. Sure, the service is a bit slow, but I find that to be the case with most places in Astoria, so it doesn't bother me at all.

I love to come to this place and write. It has a very Bohemian feel, and a cute decor. The menu is good if a little overpriced, and the food does take a while to come out. I like it more as a coffee shop than as a restaurant, but my best friend and I tend to frequent it once and a while brunch. Over all, I'm a fan.
