Came here for brunch on the weekend and the first thing you noticed is how chic and modern the designs are! There's a cafe part where you can order to go and there's seating for just the cafe part. There's also a brunch section where you wait to get seated and the servers are super friendly and attentive to anything you need! We enjoyed our avocado toast and breakfast burrito and my partner got a cappuccino which was perfection! We really enjoyed coming here and plan to come back again! Great place to meet up with someone or just come on your own and get some work done!

Dagny is one of the few cafes on the western side of Astoria near Socrates Park. While I've only been to the takeout side, the cafe space looks spacious and beautiful, and they also host events like live music and movie nights. They are plenty of tables outside so it's nice spot to walk your dog, grab a drink, and then chill outside. The door might be a bit hard to find as it's right next to the Astoria West building entrance. At the coffee counter, the drinks are pretty standard cafe offerings. My go-to is an iced strawberry matcha, which is matcha with a bit of strawberry syrup at the bottom. There are also some pastries such as croissants and lemon loaves.

Nice waterfront view, spacious, polite staff, generous portions. Space for studying, socializing, listening to live jazz, or movie night.

Ordered: 12oz Iced Lavender Matcha (~$6): with oat milk (+75¢) Aya's take: Not many cafes in the area so I found myself at Dagny. Only the grab and go portion was open when I went around 11am on a Saturday. It seems like a decent spot to study or work from if their seating area is open. I'm a sucker for lavender so this Iced Lavender Matcha immediately caught my eye. It was good but nothing out of the ordinary. It was really floral, creamy, lightly sweet, and gave me that mild caffeine kick I wanted. Good try!

Lots of seating! Plenty of outlets! They have wifi! I love this cafe for working! There is so much space and it's literally the perfect working cafe! We got the lavender matcha with oat milk! The staff was kind enough to make it less sweet for us and even gave us the option to add more sweetener if it the sweetness level was too low. I will definitely be coming back in the future!

Ambiance is chill and cozy. Service was good, staff was friendly and helpful. You pick up your order from the counter if you dine in. Coffee tasted rich and was made to my liking. I got the macchiato and my partner got the cappuccino. Wish I could try the almond croissants, but they were out of them when I went.

The ambiance here is really optimal and spacious for getting a little bit of work done. It's a coffee shop and cafe during the day and a bar at night. Definitely a gem of space compared to other coffee shops further down Broadway and Steinway - those will have competition for seats while this space will always have a table, couch space, or seat open. The waiters are attentive and kind, plus they'll deliver food to your seat if you dine in. Also their wifi is pretty speedy so I highly recommend that. Definitely a great space to basically cowork for a few hours of the day and get some delicious food. I got the elote salad which is a lot of corn ... But I LOVE corn and it came out fresh and hot which was perfect. One thing is I do wish there was maybe one other non caffeinated drink option - I think the hibiscus lemongrass drink is the only one that is the closest to having no caffeine. They do also have hot cocoa, though that can be pretty sweet for an afternoon. In the evening the bar vs cafe vibe might have you preferring not to use it as a study space at 10pm but to grab a drink instead. If you're pulling some midnight hours there isn't too much in the area, but this is the latest open place I know of in astoria that has a chill vibe, good space to study, and pretty consistent food and service.
