I'm pretty sure Esparks is still operating and has possibly even opened up more locations in the past 6 months.  Their website lists locations in Glendale, Rego Park, Ridgewood, Great Neck, Sunnyside, Elmhurst and Manhattan.
There used to be one in Astoria and that one is not listed so apparently that one went the way of the one in Woodside.

This is a quote from chowhoud -
"According to the owner-manager in Woodside, he's independent and bought out Esparks to operate at this location. He's changed the primary coffee he serves. So if you thought as I did that the old coffee tasted burnt, give cafe-escape a shot."
