I had a cake-tasting party recently, and my friend brought a strawberry tres leches cake from Capy…read more I was blown away by how good it was because I've never been wild about tres leches and didn't even know other variations of tres leches (like strawberry) were possible. All the flavors and textures just tied in so well that it didn't feel overwhelming. The vanilla bread was indeed very spongy and had just the right amount of strawberries decorating it. Even though the fruits were glazed, it wasn't with the kind of glaze that's overbearing and sweet; it was quite neutral (as advertised). The 4 stars is only because I don't think one cake warrants a 5 stars; I need to go and experience the hospitality and other cakes first. Sadly, the strawberry tres leches cake did not win the cake contest.

But when I asked one of the employees for help, he looked me up and down and said, "Wait until it's your turn," in a really rude tone -- even though he wasn't helping anyone at the time. I later asked another staff member if I could speak to the manager, and she told me he was the manager. Honestly, I don't think a manager should be setting that kind of example. The cakes are amazing, but the attitude really ruined the experience.

A 3.5-star boba tea with a 5-star customer service. Firstly, the staff here was exceptionally…read morefriendly and helpful, and that was such contrast with the almost dystopian 'interaction' we often emcounter at chain tea shops. The shop space is a little whimsical but overall warm, bright, and inviting. Parking is on the streets nearby since the shop doesn't have its own, and this makes sense because they are located between residential and business areas of town. About the green tea, as much as I welcome a lemon wedge in my water cup, I could really do without it in my boba tea. But it came with the tea, so there was no getting around the lemon 'contamination.' They apparently have small boba which is fine although I generally prefer bigger boba, and theirs was at least not overcooked and sweetened. I'd consider going back, but I'll say a hard no to lemon in my boba tea.

Crossing off finally from my Queens popular place list to visit . Multiple attempts to come here…read moreand finally find the right time. This classic and favorite dessert spot still has its magic. When we arrived, there was a line on both sides- to sit down and the to go order. Since today is our first visit here but not our friends, we patiently waited for our turn to get a table. Corner table is not bad. We picked one of their best selling items- banana split, 2 scoops of ice cream. Comes with free whipped cream , choice of syrup, rainbow sprinkles a cherry. Extra charge for any added item like any toppings. Price is reasonable for the serving size, it can be shared. The server is ready to give extra cutlery. A glass of water should be asked, not automatically given. There is nothing extraordinary for the taste of the ice cream except the fact that all flavors are home made. The 1930's decors, classic kitchen gadgets, existing old style but refurbished furniture's , is selling popular candies in early 30's and original atm machines version still working are things that make this place extraordinary , an additional things to look forward to and keeping customers coming back. A monopoly Queen's edition board game puts a smile on my face when I find out that they are selling it for a good fee and includes a $20 gift card with it. Right away purchased it. Definitely coming back to try their other popular and hot items. By the way when we are about to leave, there was a long line waiting for seats.

I was a bit disappointed that the ice cream was in lil white container on the side and it seemed like a very generic brand, it didn't taste like quality ice cream. My kids got milkshakes - they were $10 and good size for the price. They liked their shakes. The girl at the counter was very nice and the restaurant was clean.

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.

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.

My budget has been relatively tight so I've been relying on this place just for something light on the wallet to eat and this place has been very dependable. This corner spot has more flavors of ice cream and icees than Baskin Robbins and the Hot Dogs as well as the burgers here are delish and give off a homemade type of feel that is a contrast from your typical fast food burger. The ladies behind the counter are very welcoming and helpful. This has been my small haven for at least once or twice a week and will definitely be a hot spot when Summer fully kicks in.

Martha's is a staple bakery in Queens, now expanded into other boroughs, and they've done…read moreincredibly well over the years maintaining quality and consistency in their desserts. There's usually a line of some length during peak hours and especially around the holidays. You can tell by the sheer volume of baked goods and cakes available in their window displays that they sell a lot daily. This location is on the main drag of the little downtown section of Forest Hills, the baked goods in the front window display connect to a tall and long glass counter along the left side of the store that extends almost to the back. At the back middle and along the right side of the wall there's seating for about two dozen people at small cafe tables. They carry an assortment of traditional cakes (full and sliced), pies, cookies, pastries, cheesecakes, cupcakes, ice cream and coffee/tea drinks. A wide variety of flavors in each, so you're bound to find something sweet to satisfy most here. They are a classic bakery so from what I can tell, they don't carry items that are gluten, dairy or nut free. I've purchased their apple pie, fruit tart, berry napoleon, red velvet and chocolate fudge cakes from this or other locations in the past and they're all solid choices for desserts to share with a larger group, though I find a lot of their cake options to be on the richer side. My most recent encounter with their cakes came in the form of a slice of their seven layer cake $9.95 which is thin layers of yellow cake alternating with chocolate cream mmm pretty tasty, and their caramel cake $9.95 which had a layer of chocolate cake in the middle, sandwiched by caramel cream and white cake on either side. The latter had a pronounced caramel flavor that was enjoyable though a bit too much cream for me. My preference would be for their chocolate cakes over other cake flavors here. Their apple pie is one of my favorite apple pies anywhere tho!
