Very happy there's a cute little Italian coffee shop in the neighbourhood!…read more Very friendly barista and super authentic. They have a limited menu right now but I was told there will be gelato in the summer time. Very fair prices and they even have small snacks!

Il Primo Cafe opened not too long along and as a lover of coffee and all things Italian I had to go…read morecheck it out. An Italian espresso bar is a welcome addition to the neighborhood as there's a real lack of coffee places around. Walking inside, right away I liked the old-school, no frills vibe of Il Primo Cafe. The menu is straightforward, with espresso and milk based drinks like lattes and cappuccinos. I opted for a doppio. They have a few prepackaged sweets including biscotti. There are a couple tables and a bench on the sidewalk outside. It was nice to sit out on a sunny day. I spoke with the owner, Danny, and he is looking to add a pastry case with Italian goodies like rainbow cookies and cannoli, as well as a freezer for gelato during warmer months. I'll be coming back to Il Primo Cafe for my espresso fix and am excited to see what they bring in the future.

This location is good for grab and go, as they have limited seating and it's very busy (props to…read morethe staff for keeping the lines moving pretty quickly). I come in here from time to time to grab a coffee or a pastry (sometimes both) for breakfast on my way into the office (they're conveniently located in front of the subway station). The food is fresh and the quality is great. I have yet to had something that left me disappointed, though I'll admit some items I think are mediocre so I just avoid those items.

The Korean fried chicken- bomb. Sweet potato fries - yummy. Onigiri - so good! And the two teas I had were refreshing. Be warned though than even if you order less sweet, they will be kind of sweet.

Tried their Taiwanese popcorn chicken and Japanese onigiri on my first visit, a hot milk tea on my…read moresecond visit, a matcha cake cream latte on my 3rd visit, and an eel onigiri, tuna onigiri, and ube cake cream latte on my 4th visit. I've now lost count of how many times I've visited Nom Tea! Most of the time, the food and service is good, but occasionally the food comes out too salty. It's not super consistent on the food side, but the drinks have always been wonderful. The only drink I wasn't a fan of was the ube cake cream latte since I think they used powder (it felt powdery and didn't taste like real ube).

Inside is small only a few tables and the air conditioning wasn't very strong. The prices were…read morefair. My daughter and I split the half chicken with two sides. It's enough for two people and it was only $17.50. They have a refrigerator case with drinks like soda, water, or Snapple. The nice lady at the counter took our order and we picked a table. It was crowded and they were doing a good take out business. When the meal was ready, the lady behind the counter brought over the trash with the food. We got kale and broccoli as the two sides. The chicken was seasoned well. It was interesting to see they rubbed under the skin as well as on top. The skin was nice and crispy. The white meat part is a little dry. The dark meat was very good. The best were the two sides. It's hard to not overcook broccoli but it was still crunchy and well seasoned. The kale was also cooked the same way as the broccoli. It had a lot of flavor. After you finish you bring your try up and they do the rest.

Love this spot in the neighborhood for delicious panini sandwiches. I always order the pesto,…read moretomato, and mozzarella panini sandwhich with a side of fries. The panini is so flavorful and delicious and pairs so well with the fries. There's also seats inside for customers and the staff is extremely sweet! Definitely check out their paninis and fries if you're nearby.

I make a point to take my mom to Prince Tea House every time I'm back in town and they have yet to…read moredisappoint us! The ube souffle? Absolute perfection and made to order, so sip on some hot milk tea out of a beautiful teapot and nom on a perfectly moist scone while you wait 20 minutes for what could be the best dessert of your life. The desserts here are the epitome of "not too sweet" asian treats in the best way possible. I didn't even know I liked scones until I came here, and then I was inspired to bake some of my own (which fell short of the ones here, but of course). Despite it always being crowded, somehow I have always gotten a seat when dining in with no wait. And the customers just keep coming, and the vibe only gets better. The interior is just too cute, and each location has a unique "look" to it but they all scream tea house. Service is nothing short of excellent. Although the menu is on a QR code, it's easy to get the attention of a waitstaff to place your order, and the food and drinks come out quickly. This is a great place to take a date, a friend, a family member, heck - even a place to introduce them to each other.

With options like a coconut roiboos tea with coffee, black sesame latte, etc, everything has a fun twist. The drinks are a little small but are super reasonably priced. I got to try the rococo, the pistachio latte, the matcha latte, and the black sesame latte. Each one was really good, not too sweet, and had a strong flavor. The place is very small with no seating, so you have to take the drinks to go. It's a quick order and get out, so not much service here.

As of last week, I finally decided to be lactose free and they said we can't switch out the milk bc it's prebatched which is a tad disappointing. I just think there was too much hype around this place. I will say flushing is more for boba anyways than matcha. I like the green marble counters. Very small to go type of cafe!

I've been coming here in person for a while and have also ordered through Uber Eats many times…read more Their Fresh Taro Tea is my absolute favorite, it's hard to find fresh taro done this well anywhere else. I love that they let you customize it, especially with cheese foam, which makes it even better. The staff is always kind, welcoming, and efficient. Service is quick, but they never make you feel rushed, they take the time to make each drink correctly. One thing I really appreciate is that they recognize returning customers, which adds such a personal touch. If you're a taro lover, I highly recommend trying their Fresh Taro Tea. It's the reason I keep coming back and ordering again and again. Definitely one of my favorite bubble tea spots in Forest Hills!

I really enjoyed lunch at this place! They've recently rebranded to Austin Street Cafe/Bar & Grill…read more- and they have a sort of diner-esque vibe with a full-service bar ($7 happy hour cocktails!!!) They started us off with a croissant on the house, which was pretty good. Nice attention to detail as it was served with a heart-shaped side of butter. Also part of their happy hour menu are a couple select bar bites. I went for the chicken quesadillas, and it was a hearty portion at their price point. And it had a great flavor - chicken was nice and juicy. Natalie was our server, and was very attentive and friendly throughout our time here. And just when we thought it couldn't get better, Natalie and the manager brought us some cookies on the house to take home. Nothing but praise to be sung about this spot - I hear they're looking into possibly incorporating live music next. Will definitely be back - two thumbs up!

This place has been renamed "Austin Street coffee and grill" and has an updated menu…read more First off, I want to point out the great customer service from the young man working on a Saturday morning. I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.
