I grew up in Flushing & love a good dumpling!! 🥟
Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - Flushing
Such a cute spot to grab a crepe if you’re in the area :) Nutella + strawberry was my fave. Also delish affogato.
Cafe Bench | Crêpe Flushing
Not glamorous, but delish. I used to get a rotisserie chicken from here at least weekly with some salsa verde 🤤 They have some indoor seating, but it’s super casual.

Iconic- their sicilian slices are chef’s kiss. I miss living near here all the time 😭

There are a few of these around, but Ralphs is also a staple and usually open only seasonally. I used to loveeee their graham cracker flavor + would get marshmallow on top.

I really miss my queens bagels- this spot was a fave. Lines were super long if you went too late on the weekend.
