Ruben David: I love the redesigned open air concept, the baked goods are great and the Baristas makes better coffee than Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts....
Graphic Agency: Smooth and rich with a light milkiness, Martha goes beyond the standard cup of cocoa, serving up peanut butter, red velvet, and cinnamon-inflected Mexican varieties
David Perell: Loved the Red Velvet Cheesecake. Great place!
Dionne Lutz: skip the cupcakes - their cakes, cheesecakes and mousses are their forte. the red velvet is a must!
Melody Ewing: If it involves anything red velvet (cake, cheesecake, cupcake) it will be delicious. They use a wonderful cream cheese frosting rather than buttercream. Perfect balance of creaminess and sweetness
Marcus Lovingood: If you are in Astoria, this is a must stop. My favorites: Red Velvet Hot Chocolate, Brownie with vanilla ice cream. PERFECTION!

Charles Biletsky: A Forest Hills institution. Fantastic old school ice cream parlor. Home made ice cream and $5 shakes - what more could you ask for?
Serious Eats: As classic as a scoop shop/soda fountain gets. Great milkshakes and ice cream sundaes that load on the toppings; don't skip the hot fudge or homemade whipped cream.
Spencer Vairo: This place is historic and has been open in the neighborhood for generations for good reason. Hot fudge is heaven on earth and is perfect with their homemade vanilla chocolate chip ice cream. Amazing!
John W: I'm always amazed at the quality of the desserts & savory here. Favs include red velvet cupcakes (unique, a must have!), olive & fig breads, macarons (pistachio, coffee), croque monsieurs & pear tart.
