S'mores crepe
Othia S.

Chai wala is a bubble tea and desi snacks spot with a casual and cozy ambiance. About four tables but plenty of seating. They also have a backyard patio for additional seating. Love having a boba spot close to home. This spot has consistency, speed, and seating. Definitely a good place to stop by. I make it a point to come here on rainy days to get hot chai. I came here to do henna on some friends today and the staff were really welcoming and friendly- a plus. I've tried the crepes, good if you're craving crepes- and lots of options. Looking forward to trying some other snacks next time I come.

Love their lamb paratha and crepes. Definitely go back, just a nice place for a quick snack.

Reese's Peanutbutter Milkshake soooooo good!
Jordan T.

The taste of the passion fruit bubble tea was great and the popping bubbles were fresh and tasty too! The place is very clean and the service was friendly. Highly recommended this hidden gem!

Chai boba tea and brown sugar boba tea.
Prya M.

The place is nice with outdoor seating which was good. The service was okay. They were busy, guessing because of social media. But don't believe the hype. My husband had the chai boba tea, it was no where near chai flavor but regular water down tea. He got me the brown sugar boba, again the flavor was blah and packed with sugar. The boba was hard as if it's been sitting all day. I get boba tea or coffee at least once a week and this place can't come near to what good boba tea/coffee should taste like.

Spectaculoos!…read more Spectacular should be spelled Spectaculoos from now on. It just feels cooler to have the "oooos" enunciation at the end doesn't it? This Sunday only Wafel and Dinges truck is just way to dangerous. They should limit you to one of these because it's just way to hard choose just one option. Perhaps the Sunday only option is their way to protect us from those of us with no self control. If that is the case, good thinking W & D! As far as the Wafels, is there anything that Spekuloos (my current sweet addiction) or Nutella is spread on that doesn't taste awesome? Is there anything that fresh cut strawberries and whipped cream can't elevate? Who doesn't like a freshly made, still warm, slightly crunchy Belgium Wafel? You'll want to enjoy promptly right after you get your order it is most delicious the second you get it. Don't wait! The truck has all required utensils right there for you and the box is built in a way that makes it conducive to eat by sliding the Wafel to the edge to bite. However you're on your own to find seating to enjoy which can be somewhat of a challenge in some neighborhoods, where this truck parks including this one. Pro tip: head to the nearby MacDonald park nearby. One final thought, for those diabetics out there, just keep walking, there isn't anything here for you to eat,....

I finally decided to check them out and was literally blown away with their selection of waffles and toppings. I'd ended up getting their Liege waffle with fresh strawberries and bananas as my toppings - total $6. Now that's a deal considering my order was delicious and just enough to share with my mom. It's refreshing to see more food trucks in the Forest Hills areas.

Bubble tea, French crepes and waffles be found and located in southeastern Queens, New York…read more After scanning the menu I decided on the classic Nutella crepe $9.99 which is delicious as it is topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips. There is no annoying banana to taint this classic Nutella crepe. The crepe was swimming in Nutella. I have always been enamored with Nutella and chocolate chips. French crepes with Nutella takes me back to Paris, France of nostalgia for halcyon times. Three stars, as the male server Hars S. speaks rudimentary English for L.E.P. and his words were mostly inaudible to comprehend. He plays music boisterously loud in his native language appearing very distracted with indifference to service customers. There are no seats, no tables, no stools, and no ledge. This is a takeout only business and takeout menus are available for grabs. The takeout menu appears to be designed by a very inexperienced amateur graphic designer who did not graduate graphic design school. I requested a sales receipt which was pulling teeth to obtain it as it for the level of difficulty of this simple task.

Last time I tried their black sesame matcha which was so yummy. I always look forward to the new flavors they come up with which are really crafted with care. They're also one of the few cafes ive seen which offer hojicha- a tea which tastes more nutty and caramel-y. Forest cafe has definitely grown in popularity over the years, so the last few times ive been here it was packed to the brim. Still, the service hasn't suffered at all and they get through customers at a fast pace. I really admire the unwavering attention to detail and upkeep that is put into all aspects of this cafe, from the artful posters and signage, to the new flavors, to the space itself - these things make it such a wonderful gathering place for the community!!

They have a list of year round items & a couple rotating seasonal lattes that you'll have to wait to see on their wall as well. However, It gets extremely busy there -- so if you're wanting to sit and chit chat with a friend, you might find yourself sitting outside or constantly checking for a chair because it gets busyyyyy in here on weekdays despite the abundant seating, while I do love a little coffee & study session, it really sucked that nearly all of the tables inside were taken by customers with laptops! Perhaps it's better on weekends as they have signs that implement no laptops on weekends. Anyways, onto the orders... My sister and I ordered off the seasonal menu and tried the Strawberry latte, Pistachio latte and a Pistachio Waffle. Unfortunately, I just felt like neither of the lattes were really lived up to the hype. The strawberry latte is literally just strawberry jam layered with milk and a shot of espresso & the pistachio drink was not very sweet or pistachio flavor forward, it had a bit of a nutty taste towards the end, but honestly just tasted a majority like milk. I definitely think it could benefit from more pistachio flavoring or some pistachio cream smeared on the side of the cup. Also, not sure if they use two different roasts for the drinks, but the strawberry tastes much more burnt than the other. The pistachio waffle was probably the best part, but even then, you cannot really mess up on a waffle that is smeared with pistachio butter. Not sure if it is house made though. I didn't like it, but my sister really likes this place, so it is definitely a matter of opinions. I would definitely recommend stopping by & trying it out yourself!

The line was out the door, we waited about 10 minutes just for someone to take our order, and then another 35 minutes for our breakfast to arrive. My sister ordered a BACON EGG LETTUCE (without the tomato) and said both her sandwich and the home fries were overly salty. The host wasn't very welcoming and came across as rude, which wasn't a great first impression. On the positive side, our waiter was friendly, attentive, and provided good service despite how busy the restaurant was. With better staffing, faster service, and a friendlier greeting at the front, this could be a much better dining experience.

It's Eid so my sister and I came here to buy 6 bubble teas for the family (Around 5:45) When I ordered it, the cashier laughed in my face sarcastically. I asked her why she laughed and she expressed "cause I'm gonna have to make them now" um hate to break it to you babe but that's your literal job??? I did feel bad since she was the only one behind the counter at the time, so I changed my order from 6 to 4 bubble teas. I sat down with my sister and we watched as 3 other parties ordered and received their drinks while we still waited for ours. After quite the wait, I went to the pickup area to ask if our drinks were ready yet and they were ready, just sitting there for a while. I guess she didn't think to notify us that our drink is ready? I mean she saw us waiting so I don't know why she couldn't let us know. Such blatant disregard for customer's time. Maybe I'm spoiled by the amazing service I get at Chaiwala. I kind of regret going here today because on top of that, one of my bubble teas was filled literally halfway. I get that I ordered a regular size for two of the drinks and maybe they only had large cups but even then, what I received was waaaay less than what the regular cup holds. And this regular sized drink had waaaay less bubble tea than the other regular sized drink I ordered. I don't know if she did that on purpose or out of spite... but it did feel like it. Just look at the pictures I attached and see for yourself. Also, I asked for no ice and it definitely had ice in it. And as if it couldn't get any worse, my brown sugar milk tea was just milk with a tiny amount of brown sugar at the bottom. I defffffinitely did not get what I paid for and it really is disappointing. After such a long wait I didn't want to mention anything, so I took the drinks and left. But looking back, I really should have requested a refund. It was abysmal and I shouldn't have received such horrible products because I'm a paying customer like everyone else! It's astonishing how bad that one cashiers service was, I really think the owner should train his staff on common courtesy, it's not his fault but it's impacting his business. But I will say the other staff members are generally friendly and have great service, so maybe just train this girl. A couple of friends and neighbors here and there have also mentioned moments of off-putting service they experienced here, or similar inconsistencies with the product FYI.
