We had to stop by during their opening week to get Ralph's ices, a favorite of our family! So glad…read morethis location opened up in Forest Hills. Easy to get to and fairly close to 71st Avenue. I can see this place getting packed during hotter weather. It's a small and narrow location. Service was great and friendly. It made us feel very excited to order some ices. Got two pints of our classic favorites: mango and rainbow and it was about $18 and change. A bit cheaper if you pay cash. The ice quality and texture were great. Delicious and hit the spot. I hope they add prices to their menu in the future because it would be really helpful prior to purchasing.

I tried them when they first opened in Forest Hills and it was super busy. Definitely a place that comes in handy during the summertime. Would recommend!

I love a sugar cone with scoops of Pralines 'n Cream and Pistachio Almond but tonight I was inspired by a cute guy ahead of us ordering a cup of Beach Day (whut?) so I ordered that instead. It was PHENOMENAL, so much so that I had to thank that guy as he sat on the park bench adjacent to BR and tell him he inspired me to try something new. We're lucky to have an ice cream shop on Austin Street with delicious stuff: GO!

This makes me very sad. I have enjoyed this store for decades. However, the current owners make…read moreit very unpleasant to be a customer, like it is an imposition on them for us to spend our money here. Twice I have requested a flavor labeled over a full container only to be told that they do not have that flavor. The second time, the person (minimally) helping me would not even tell me what the correct flavor was she just demanded "Do you want it?" It is often hard to discern when the person who is supposed to be helping me is talking to me versus talking to a co-worker. It is hard to imagine anyone making a purchase there and coming away with the impression that they are a valued customer. It is very sad because with some minimal interpersonal skills, I do not see any reason this location could not be very successful. However, it is much easier to push customers away than it is to bring them back.

Prices def went up, but I also filled up a pretty big cup because I hadn't been to this location, or any location for that matter, in some time and I was in need of a comforting treat. Coconut and Mango at my go to's with mango, white chocolate chips, shredded coconut and white chocolate sauce toppings. And let me tell you, their product hasn't changed as it was still quite enjoyable. Finally it's a small location, but kept clean and the staff were sweet. Next time I'll try a smoothie. Have never had one from there before.

They have a microwave to heat up food, but nowhere to sit. They have a kitchen in the back. They have bread and pastries besides typical Japanese ingredients and groceries. The Gyudon was a little salty but was overall good. I'll be back.

The first time I remember coming here was during a day hanging out with my family and friends. We…read moredecided that we wanted to have some sweets after dinner. Since we were in Forest Hills, Queens, and I had never been here, we chose to go to Eddie's. This place is really good, with an extensive menu of desserts ranging from soda floats to banana splits and many other little treats. A sweet lover's paradise. Personally, when it comes to ice cream or sweets, I tend to keep it simple. Give me a good vanilla ice cream scoop and I am a happy person. Give me a great ice cream scoop and I am even happier. Let's just say I left this place very satisfied. I had my basic yet delicious ice cream scoops. Yum. I am currently following a strict diet regimen for one more month, but after that, I will definitely come back for some of their tasty ice cream. My son, wife, and friends were also enjoying their sweets. This is a great place. They have seats, but it gets really busy and there is usually a bit of a wait. Yet that is not a bad thing. It shows how popular the place is. If you are looking for sweets, come check this place out.

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.

I adore this place a lot. The food is neither amazing or great (and a bit pricey) and the coffee is good for what it is (and decently priced), but it's a charmingly quaint place to unwind and relax--definitely an introvert's paradise, which is surprising, given that their location gets some of the most foot traffic on Austin. Don't expect a fancy selection of drinks that you can find at nearby cafes, which is part of their appeal to keep things simple.
