Restaurants & Food / Esparks Coffee
« on: January 17, 2008, 04:56:52 PM »
I went this morning to Esparks in neighboring Elmhurst. The coffee was pretty good, in the realm of Starbucks, maybe a tad better. A small cup (venti?) was about 1.85. I didn't try any of the baked goods, but, looked like muffins, bagels and some fruit salads. It was the first day, no one was in there. It seems they didn't have any "grand opening" sign or other hoopla, maybe the reason for lack of customers. The decor also looked very Starbucks life, merchandise, etc. Wonder how well they will do in the next few weeks.

Restaurants & Food / Cafe 89

Just curious. Very little has been said anywhere about a reletively new place called cafe 89 on Northern Blvd next to CVS. I've gone in there for breakfast many times, and found it pretty decent. It's always full in the morning as well. I believe the owners are South American, however the menu is very Greek diner/American Style (for a lack of a better way to phrase it) I think they also throw some South American dishes in for diner. Never went there past breakfast though. Interesting because they have the Maya Cafe (formerly known as El Rancho) that has some Mexican style dishes as well as typical diner food in the same basic location. I wonder if that's a trend in the area. I'd also like to say that Maya/El Rancho is another favorite breakfast place for me. I like these combinations. I think it is what makes Jackson Heights very unique.
