Sanford’s in Astoria is one of those spots that hasn’t changed over the years—and that’s part of its charm. The atmosphere is still cozy, the service friendly, and the food consistently delicious.We had the tuna wrap, tacos, blueberry pancakes, chicken wrap, and avocado rolls. Everything was great—especially the wraps and pancakes, which were packed with flavor and super satisfying. The avocado rolls were just okay, but still a decent start to the meal.If you’re looking for a reliable brunch spot with a solid menu and welcoming vibe, Sanford’s is still one of Astoria’s go-tos. - Jay Benji
