Astoria Caffe & Wine Bar

Late night spot for drinks or coffee. Very lax and comfortable. Not enough spots like this in Dallas to just converse.

Cozy, quaint cafe. It's a small place but the staff are personable, the food is always great, and the views are so nice if you sit out on the patio.

Love the outside seating. Brunch all day long. Eggplant dip is delicious but small

Great place for wine and cigars on the patio. Staff is super friendly. They sell cigars here which is even better if you forget your own!

Perhaps I need to go back for something else. My sister ordered the small Caesar salad. We asked the guy about the size. He recommended the smaller as it was big. It was about 6 bites. It was sad because she wanted a salad all day. She said the lettuce was not very fresh, and the croutons tasted like those tiny $0.89 croutons from the grocery store. It was most disappointing. They did have a pretty nice selection of cheesecake and cakes and the person behind the counter was nice.

This is a great place for a relaxed lunch. If you're on your lunch break and are short on time, look elsewhere. The management makes sure you're aware that it'll take some time by telling you upfront on the menu. I like the patio, as it's in the shade during lunch. Their unsweet tea is disgusting so I normally get water. The rest of the food is quite good and you can tell they took their time to make it right. I liked their tiramisu as well. I haven't returned here for dinner or wine but I would be absolutely delighted to do so.

Great wine selection. Excellent charcuterie. I will definitely come back here!

Disgusting coffee, very ambitious and polite staff.

If I were to rate against the cake and two coffee drinks I ordered, my review would be one star — BUT the staff tries so hard. It seems like this whole place tries so hard at what they do yet fail miserably (the coffee was so bad we actually laughed at it).

1) Stop serving old cake. If the maraschino on top has lost its moisture, it's old and should not be served with normal fare.
2) The goal of espresso is NOT to be bitter and/or ashy. It seems the baristas may not understand the concept of overextraction and the correct grind (do not max the grind by default).
3) Don't put finely ground coffee on top for decoration of espresso drinks, that is disgusting. Cocoa is the norm and much more palatable.
4) I don't know what you guys are doing, but your iced coffee is very watery. It should come out a deep brown (also known as the color "espresso").

I have been going to this place for the past 3-4 years and normally I love it. However my last stop there left a horrible taste in my mouth. I came in for a raspberry smoothie to go, and before I even made it in the door the waitress outside was extremely rude. I told her I wanted to make a to go order for a raspberry smoothie & I had planned on following her to inside to the register to pay. While we were still outside before she even put in my order she asked me for a card so she could place the order, I looked a little dumbfounded and told her I planned on following her inside to pay. Once my smoothie was ready the guy told me my strawberry smoothie was ready. I told him I had ordered a raspberry smoothie, well the waitress who had taken my order decided she would put in her two cents & she insisted I ordered a strawberry smoothie. No apologie nothing so i told the gentleman not to worry about the raspberry smoothie and I will not be returning. Horrible customer service!!

I went there on a slow night. I was told to sit on a different table because the one I was at its for a group of more than two. It didn't make sense since it was a cold slow night. Later on someone came in and set on that same spot. That person might work there but I didn't appreciate they didn't ask her to move. Beside that incident the hot chocolate was delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy.

My favorite cafe in Addison/North Dallas. Feels more like a restaurant than a coffee shop. Their food is always good (looove the croissant at breakfast) and their drinks come in lovely glasses and mugs. The staff are friendly and helpful. Outdoor seating is lovely and a perfect atmosphere for reading alone or meeting a friend.

Great place for a date, the most comfortable seats around Dallas. Great wine, desserts and a nice neighborhood to walk around in.

My new favorite place!! Great for coffee and cheesecake, or wine with a cheese and meat plate. I need to go back for breakfast. There's a dog friendly patio as well as indoor dining. I've been 3 times and it just keeps getting better :)
