A new coffee bar opened up in Astoria ^[1], right next to the Ditmars Blvd subway station. Called rather obviously The Coffee Bar ^[2], this spot’s location makes it a good place to stop at on the way to work or on the way home. The place is clean and the staff friendly. Though I haven’t sampled anything there yet other than a tasty bagel sandwich, they have a large menu serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The establishment has plenty of tables, along with adorable black and white pictures that seem to be people drinking espresso in Italy. A nice spot for a morning jolt.
