    Stopped by for my birthday treat discount. Got myself a hot pistachio latte. It was delicious and beautiful. Space wasn't crowded or hectic.

    Pretty hip looking coffee place in Forest Hills, with sleek marble-esque interiors and fancy coffee machines. I got their signature azal latte which was pretty pricey ($7 or $8) and was customizable with levels of sweetness. I tasted hints of cardamom and other spices, and overall a decent latte but did not blow my mind. I happened to have ordered right when their high tech machine was in a cleaning cycle so there was a 15ish min wait (I wish they told me this before I ordered) but I presume normally it does not take that long. I think I'll like to give them another try next time and perhaps try the pastries.

    Lack of explanation from the cashier.... :( we needed to wait 30min for drink - a cashier got mad and had attitude. We didn't get treated well. other barista was nice. I don't know if I'm coming back here again.

    Stopped here after trying to go to another cafe across the street (no seats available) - therefore we were like why not try Azal? The only other Yemeni cafe I've been to is Qahwah so was excited to try something new. Looked it up and saw that they just opened the month prior. We walked in and were greeted right away, the place is very spacious / plenty of outlets if you're trying to WFH (the music is loud though so I suggest bringing headphones). Ended up just getting 2 regular iced lattes, they were delicious! The desserts looked pretty tasty as well - looking forward to coming back & trying more items on the menu.

    Very cutesy, been meaning to try this place for so long, but every time I pass it I'm not due for coffee. I ordered the Azal signs coffee and it was delicious. I burned my mouth on the first sip. So keep in mind the coffee is very hottttt. I got it in a to go cup and didn't see any smoke. Once I got to try it I was like wow. I also got the pistachio waffle it was really good. They go heavy on the chocolate and pistachio. The only downside was the wait time. It took longer than expected for a coffee. Coffee was so good I'm definitely coming back. Might do my next order online for pickup. Ambiance was nice, very cute and modern feel.

    Nicely decorated, bright and welcoming with a lot of seating. Good for small or large groups. Closes later than most coffee places in the area. Ordered at the counter and waited for the buzzer to go off to pick up our order. Have been there a few times for hot and cold drinks: My husband and I got the Azal coffee - strong, bold coffee flavor; but both of us got upset stomachs though. Pistachio pleasure was good but sweet, a milkshake consistency with pistachio cream and pistachios. Ginger milk is very gingery, not for me but others liked it. Jubani and Sana'ani, made with coffee husks, tasted like a tea-coffee combination. Can taste flavors from the spices in the Jubani, while Sana'ani is more of a mild coffee. Pastries/dessert items available but haven't tried yet. Prices not labeled so have to ask. Restroom available. Just off Queens Blvd and on 71st Ave so can get there via train or buses. Metered street parking is usually hard to get in the immediate area, unless a little walk is ok.

    I was served by Melissa, and she was so sweet! She recommended the strawberry Mojito combination, and I was pleasantly surprised--it came sealed in a can. I thought it was just a regular purchase, but it was actually freshly made that way and sealed with a can lid, which is such a cool touch. I also added the egg biscuit, and it was absolutely delicious. Other breakfast breads looked so good. I'll have to return to try another. I visited this breakfast nook to join a writers' meet-up group. I met the host and other members, and we spent an hour writing our future bestsellers together. A huge thank you to Azal Coffee for letting us use the Wi-Fi and the comfortable chairs--it made the experience even better. This place is not only great for breakfast, but also a wonderful spot to get creative. Highly recommend! Oh PS love the new tree installation...

    I had been eyeing Azal Coffee's "Coming Soon" signs for months, so I was excited to stop in for their grand opening on June 20th. The location is super convenient, right on Continental Ave between Austin St and Queens Blvd. The space is bright and spacious with plenty of seating. I was able to settle in and get a few hours of work done comfortably. We ordered an iced Azal latte and an iced pistachio latte. The Azal latte had a flavor profile similar to a dirty chai--rich, spiced, and perfectly balanced. The pistachio latte was smooth and nutty, with just the right hint of sweetness (we got both drinks less sweet, which I would highly recommend). They also offer a variety of sweets and baked goods. I tried the pistachio milk cake, which was like tres leches but topped with pistachio cream and crushed pistachios. As a pistachio fan, it hit the spot. I am glad Azal Coffee has added to the diversity of businesses in Forest Hills. It's a great addition to the neighborhood and a welcome new spot for coffee lovers!

    $18 for mini pancakes and a iced latte! A beautiful new space, staff was very friendly, service very slow. The pancakes were a good shareable portion, they were more like donuts. Very tasty, lots of drizzle. I got the crazy mix, which was Nutella, pistachio, and Biscoff. The latte had a light pistachio flavor, very nutty . A little pricey for what it is but worth a try if you're in the area and want something different.

    The coffee is good. It's new, fresh and different from other chains. The cafe is nice for hanging out too. It brings something new to Forest Hills. BUT Don't even think about taking it to go especially on the subway because their cups and plastic lids suck. The covers pop off. If you have hot coffee, you're screwed. You'll burn yourself and the person sitting nearby. If you placed it in your cup holder in stroller like me, it will pop off on the first bump and get your stroller all sticky. The seeds will get all over Don't even try putting it back on, you'll have difficulty doing it. Had to stop a few times to dry my hands and wipe my sticky hands. First visit was a horrible experience.

    The place is beautiful! Very chic and creative menu. The service was fine. I ordered a raspberry pomegranate Mojito and it wasn't worth it. I will try to give them another shot, but it just taste it like artificial raspberry with Sprite. I had a little bit of a lime taste that I appreciate it but there's nothing that I would say to myself "wow I can't wait to get the drink again". I think the spot is a vibe to meet up with friends.

    Happy to have Azal in the neighborhood! I've wanted to try Yemeni coffee for a while, but didn't feel like venturing out to Astoria or downtown Manhattan. Prices are comparable to other cafes in the city/area, but the options are way cooler! They have a lot of different options for Yemeni/Arabic coffees and teas, all perfectly spiced. I also like that you can customize the sweetness without taking away the flavor - I always order mine with no sugar and then add my own. FYI - the Yemeni and Arabic coffee sections on the menu are only available hot (I'll definitely try these once the weather cools down), but there's plenty of other options for iced drinks. So far, I've tried the: - Iced Pistachio Latte - Yummy and sweet, but probably would have been better hot. It's made with pistachio paste, so it's a bit thick to stir and mix completely. - Iced Azal Latte - The Azal spice mix is delicious, very cardamom-y. This was delicious on a hot summer day, but there was a bunch of coffee/spices at the bottom of my cup - this isn't a dealbreaker for me. - Iced Adeni Tea - You can't swap the cream (evaporated milk) for a non-dairy substitute in this one, so I took a bit of a risk here. Definitely worth it, so refreshing and creamy. - Blue Raspberry Mojito - My partner got this and I had a sip. We both found it a little too sweet, but neither of us have much taste for sugar. The flavor was great though, and it probably would have been even better for us with the ice melted. The staff are all very friendly and willing to answer questions when you order. The menus are printed and laminated by the register, but I wish they were posted on the wall or had a few copies elsewhere, since there are a lot of options and it always takes me a while to choose. Once you order, they give you one of those vibrating alert thingies to let you know when it's ready - this is purely a personal preference, but I hate those and hope that they switch to literally any other system. The cafe itself is roomy, with a lot of tables and comfortable chairs. There's always cool Arabic music playing, but not too loud, so you can get work done if you need. They're also open later than most cafes in the area, which is a plus. Overall, I'd give it 4.5 stars for my few minor quibbles. Still, I like this place, and I'm definitely coming back!

    Great coffee! They offer unique Yemeni and Arabic coffee blends and desserts. They also have dubai chocolate.

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.

Warm, cozy, and especially comforting on a cold day.
