Taste of Paris Coffeehouse

the café au lait here is worth coming to langdale street for on its own. queens has no shortage of places to grab a coffee, but taste of paris coffeehouse has built a genuinely loyal following in this part of new hyde park, which doesn't happen without consistency. you'll find it in a neighborhood that moves at its own pace, far enough from manhattan's churn to feel like a real local spot rather than a pit stop. the french-leaning menu angle gives the drinks a slightly different register than your typical specialty shop, leaning softer and more european in style. if you're in the area on a weekday morning, the café au lait is still the move.
