Queens Comfort:
S’more Blondie Brownie
40-09 30TH AVE., ASTORIA
718-728-2350
The mad geniuses at Queens Comfort are
certainly no stranger to weird Astoria food, and
their s’mores entry is proof. Leave your preconceived
notions about brownies at the door —
their S’more Blondie Brownie is different right
from the jump with Oreos and graham crackers
crushed right into the brownie batter itself.
Marshmallows melted into what could almost
be called a roux are poured over completed
brownies, topped with ice-cold vanilla bean
ice cream, and drizzled with caramel.
I’d say the resulting experience brought
me back to childhood, but Queens Comfort’s
decor, a vibrant shrine to toy cars, monsters,
action figures and all things fun, did that the
moment I walked in the place. If nothing else,
the blondie fits right into the nostalgia-bomb.
Queens Comfort’s resident baker, Montana
Barbieri — better known as Donut Diva — handmakes
each and every blondie herself, so be
sure to call ahead to make sure she’s whipping
up a batch the day you go.
