La Flor

La Flor has been the culinary bridge linking Sunnyside and Woodside for 10 years, and it has lasted for good reason!

La Flor has drawn the attention of Yelping Manhattanites as well as locals looking for quality food and a quaint, neighborhood cafe setting where you could sit for hours if you wanted to.

The most serious reason to venture to La Flor is for the unbelievable banana muffin (which is toasted and you cover it in butter even though it is already delicious and buttery).

(MMMMMMM!!!)

Equally as appetizing are the other breakfast options, including Vanilla Bourbon French Toast ($7.95) and more traditional Mexican fare like Huevos Rancheros ($6.95) and their Puebla Breakfast ($7.95), a scramble of eggs, chorizo and potatoes littered with crispy tortilla chips (and served with red and green house hot sauces!).

They also serve good coffee. I can't say it's thrilling, but it is good (which, in New York, can be thrilling!).

 

Despite breakfast's deliciousness, Lunch and Dinner are quickly becoming my favorite meals at La Flor. Again the menu ranges from traditional salads and sandwiches to tortas, tacos and quesadillas.

(warm brie!)

Most recently we stuffed ourselves with the Warm Brie "Salad" with poached pears and mixed greens ($10.95), the Grilled Salmon Sandwich with pesto mayo ($10.95) and Baked Macaroni and Cheese ($6.95) (disclaimer: Mac n' Cheese in any/all forms is my favorite food of all time).

(mac and cheese... obv)

The Mac and Cheese is really good and you can't really screw up warm brie! The salmon sandwich was really good, but could have been better.

All in all, La Flor is a great excuse to check out the amazing Woodside neighborhood (I think it was named the most diverse place on earth? If not, I will name it so).
