Kakes NYC: A High-End Lounge with Infused American Cuisine in Queens, NY

Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly at the door. The ambiance is that of an old school, high end speak-easy. Dimly lit with open seating. About once an hour they opened the retractable roof to let the smoke out. Their air filtration system must be on point, because there isn't a heavy lingering cannabis fog. The food was tasty and infused but not over the top, so you can enjoy yourself without over indulging. The DJ kept the music upbeat, and they had a rolling specialist making blunts like a hibachi chef up front. This would be a five star lounge with or without the sacred herb. I had a great time.

The food was excellent! My date and I chose the infused menu, and we found ourselves purposely slowing down on eating it because it was so good, but we didn't want to get too inebriated, lol. The music was great, and there were plenty of flower options available. However, charging $10 for a basic lighter is outrageous.

Wow I loved this place ! Came for a birthday dinner and my infused food was 10/10 ! Music was great and ambiance was perfect for taking pictures. Come in expecting to spend $$$ as they are a little pricey but it was worth it. Keep in mind no alcohol is served as drinks are marijuana infused. My server was friendly and helped us pick out our drinks. I left full and laughing uncontrollably

First time here and everything was explained to us upon entry of the place. I met with Nelson while I was waiting for my party and he was one real cool dude. Now the food, we had party cake, quesadillas, Mac and cheese and chopped cheese. Everything was delicious and worth the price. You may not feel it right away but when you stand up?!! Yeah! We sat outside which was open space with patio furniture, a roller that will roll your weed, the dj was doing his thing last night. The vibe was a real chill one and I would definitely return and bring more friends. Y'all ladies go check Nelson' fine ass out!!

Would absolutely come back ! If you want a place that brings the 4/20 feeling! Book that reservation ASAP, totally worth the experience! This place isn't for the weak so be cautious! Get ready for great vibes and loving people

What a cool lounge spot in LIC. Proudly owned by boriquas! Stand up. Hector, the manager is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. They've set up a space that is ideal for those that want to get buzzed, those that don't and it's a private members only lounge so when you come in you know what to expect. They offer day passes . They have both infused and non infused food. Also have a resident roller who sits center stage and rolls cigars filled with weed. They have an outdoor smoking lounge with a retractable roof. Djs on certain days, karaoke on some and other entertainment events too. Food was well made and flavorful. Tried calamari, short ribs and fries, and tacos. This might be the new spot for entertainment.

So am a bit late..... well very late on writing this review.. so am hoping there still a wonder place to visit.. I went to Kakes with another couple. Wanted to try edible CBD don't tell no body . First, they do charge and entrance fee ( does not go towards your meal) $25 per person.. not my favorite thing to do, but I said why not, I'll try this place out. When you get there you have to register and submit your license, a bit annoying but understandable since everyone should be of legal age and for safety reasons. The host that registered us was great. He was super friendly and informative.. I was a little worried because I recall parting back in my day ( don't ask how old I am ) and people were able to smoke in the club... hated coming out smelling like an ashtray. Host told me not to worry they have a great rental system. He was not lying.. He walked us inside and explained the whole place to us. How to air circulation worked and the break down with the food and the CBD content in the dessert. The place was nicely decorated and the dessert were beautifully displayed.. He took us to our sits, which was outside, at the back of the restaurant.. well inside outside, it has a retracting glass roof which was cool.. The space was very cool, gave me grown forks lounge vibes.. they played really good music and there was a roller if you wanted to consume CBD the old fashion way . Waited came to us quickly and took our orders..love when waiters tend to me in an appropriate time of sitting. The food was fabulous.... I was pleasantly surprised, you could not taste the CBD in any of the food.. They did have non-infuse items on the menu for people that chose not to partake in CBD consumption. The menu was so tempting I wanted to order everything, but I settled for trying my others friends picks.. I got a drink called beauty and the beast, which was the cutest set up.. A rose cup infused in a vest covered plate, yes it was like a bong ( you only live once) but once you had enough or was done you just lifted the vest and all the smoke evaporated.. Be aware, they don't serve drinks with alcohol, just mock tails. When we were finishing, the host or maybe owner came out and bought us dessert on the house. They were all infused and delicious.. nothing better than a dessert that will not only hit your sweet teeth but give you a nice biz. Please be aware, when you ingest infuse food, you will not feel the effects for at least an hour. You should definitely go to this place in an Uber so you do not need to drive yourself home. I would definitely go back to this place, the food will have you go to many places with out leaving your sit

This is a super late review but a review that must be done better late than never. I joined for a company outing and was impressed by the professionalism, ambience, and food. There is a bouncer in the front to ensure everyone's safety. The hostess greets and seats you. The front portion is more a chill lounge/bar vibe where you can enjoy a conversation. The back portion has a dj in a huge room with couch seatings in the middle for a big group (we were the big group that night). The food had a nice gourmet like presentation and more importantly tasted delicious! The drinks presentation was fun! One of the drinks was like a contained single rose in a beauty and the beast vibe. How creative! Loved this idea. NYC has elevated the industry and I'm glad to be here to experience all of it 10/10 I do recommend!

This is one of my favorite spots I go in New York. Every time I come up and visit. The customer service is amazing. It gets very busy especially on the weekend. I typically do the late dinner slot and stay till they close. The food is amazing! I have been at least 3-4 times and they have not missed a beat yet. My go to is the Mac and cheese. My friends had the burger and vegan tacos and I even tried the guacamole which was amazing! While the drinks don't have alcohol in them, they are delicious! I typically sit in the back near the dj booth because I love h to e energy of the back. There's a front area as well for a more chill vibe. The pace is very clean and they price Ty themselves in customer service.
