Astoria Cafe With Mushroom Quiche and Turkish Simit From 6 AM
Start early at an Astoria cafe pairing espresso with Turkish-style simit, mushroom quiche, and gluten-free muffins.
🥐 Simit, Quiche and Sweet Bakes
Turkish-style simit and a savory mushroom quiche share the counter at Madame Sousou Cafe, a cozy Astoria cafe on 33rd Street. Espresso has plenty of company, with house-made cakes, rhubarb tarts, and croissants filling out the pastry side.
Regulars point to the gluten-free banana walnut muffin, and the sweet run continues with doughnuts, cookies, and carrot cake. The recently renovated interior, with its quirky decor, works as a neighborhood anchor where people settle in to study or work over a second coffee. Friendly staff keep the room relaxed, and outdoor seating adds another spot for a pause. Prices stay inexpensive.
The cafe opens at 6 AM Monday through Friday and 7 AM on Saturday and Sunday, closing at 8 PM every day at 31-05 33rd St in Queens.
