    Chai Tea
    Siyun Z.

    Very cute neighborhood tea spot that serve south East Asian teas. We came by after dinner for a hot chai tea with milk and it was perfect and strong. The people that work there who I assume were the owners were so kind to explain to us the tea options. I love chai and I also can't have too much sugar so was able to get a regular chai tea with no sugar. Will be back to try other things. Also the pricing is very reasonable for the area.

    Monday pre-lunch lures me for French crepe accompanied with Asian bubble tea. Unfortunately this bubble tea, waffles, creperies business does not offer black herbal grass jelly 凉粉, 仙草粉, 黑凉粉 drink topping and when inquiring the server appeared completely utterly baffled. Dining-in seating is limited and it is quiet for reading a book or work with one's laptop. After scanning the electronic menu affixed to the wall I choose my favorite default French crepe - Strawberry Nutella as I love fresh strawberries and Nutella. It was served on a disposable aluminum pan- oh, egregiously morbid!! Strawberry Nutella crepe $10.95 Freshly made that is very favorable and delicious with fresh strawberries fruit. Medium mango bubble tea $6.25 with mango star jelly topping $0.50 Freshly made with a good consistent flavor that is not high context doused with sugar or any artificial sugar syrup. Nota bene: Credit card fee 3.50% is charge for cash tendered as a hidden price gouging flagrant deception tactic, albeit my payment method was cash. No business cards are available for grabs and neither are takeout menus.

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

    Chai boba tea and brown sugar boba tea.

    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.

    Reese's Peanutbutter Milkshake soooooo good!

    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!

    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 got the "Brussels Wafel" which is basically a rectangular waffle and got unlimited topping for $2 - strawberries, banana, whipped cream, walnuts, and chocolate fudge. It was, in a word, divine. Check out their website or call their hotline to find out what the challenge is to get a free "dinges" - today was to pretend that you were sleepwalking! FYI- Dinges are the toppings! There's also wafels with meat toppings like BBQ Pulled Pork or Bacon and Maple Syrup. I heard the hype from my little sister who always saves her money to get a wafel from the Manhattan truck. I'm really psyched there's one in Forest Hills now. I'm gonna have to pace myself!

The music and elegance of the atmosphere was rejuvenating and relaxing. I was so glad we walked into this beautiful hidden gem on Jamaica Avenue. I couldn't believe that such a place existed here. I felt like I walked into a restaurant in Manhattan. We started with drinks. Kids drinks came in plastic containers while adult drinks came in glass ones. We ordered Diet Coke, Sprite, Mango juice and Strawberry juice. The juices were thirst quenching and hydrating. We had steak and eggs for the 1st time and it was perfectly pink in the center with a crispy, juicy exterior. The potatoes were just right. The Eggs Benedict was just right with the yolk oozing out after you bite into it. The fettuccine Alfredo was sauced just right, not too much or too little. The California Omelette was delicious and done just right. The kids pancake was just the way our kids liked them, with sliced strawberries on top. The strawberries were so yummy, we ordered a side of them just for our kids to munch on. It was smart to give our kids crayons to draw on the paper tablecloth. It kept them busy and helped our family create a happy memory of tic-tac-toe between parents and kids. POP's Cocina & Bar definitely deserves my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval and two thumbs up! Thank you so much for an amazing foodie experience!

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.

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 whole outside smells like urine...just reeks. Inside, you'll wait 10+ minutes to be seated, despite having a reservation and there being multiple empty tables because the hostess is just not there. When you finally do get seated, the hostess just drops the menus on the tables and walks away, doesn't wait for you to be seated, doesn't say "enjoy your meal!" The floor is dirty, the edges of the table have obviously not been wiped down (crusted old food in the cracks) and just a general greasy, unclean vibe. The ambiance is nonexistent- no music aside from a man at the bar watching tiktoks on his phone at full volume. They rush you to put your order in even though it will take like 40 minutes to arrive despite (and I cannot emphasize this enough) the fact that the restaurant is a ghost town. The food sucked, we had 2 meals completely comped, but the bill somehow comes to over $50 with one burger and two non alcoholic drinks because of the 20% service charge. Even after we flagged the awful food (twice!)we still had to wait almost 30 minutes for the manager to come over. This was just terrible and it's obvious the staff does not care and is just going through the motions.

The exposed brick, greenery and neon "Let's Do Brunch" sign give it a fun vibe and make for some great pictures. It was quite busy when we were there, which wasn't surprising given its popularity. Our server, Syriah, was very good. She was friendly, attentive, made recommendations from the menu and even took our group photo for us -- and got a good one! We really appreciated her service. The food was good, although I wouldn't say it was exceptional. I've had better brunch food at other spots, but everything I had was enjoyable and nicely presented. I tried the mimosa flight, which was definitely fun and Instagram-worthy. The drinks were a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but Tropical Sunset was my favorite of the flight. And I have to mention the funniest part of the whole experience: before brunch, my Sorority sister kept texting me, "Let's do brunch." I kept responding, "Okay, WHERE?" She finally had to explain that LET'S DO BRUNCH was the name of the restaurant! So the place had us laughing before we even arrived. Overall, it's a cute, lively neighborhood spot with good food, fun drinks and very good service. I'd definitely recommend it for a casual girls' brunch or get-together -- just expect a crowd because apparently everybody else has decided to "Let's Do Brunch" too.

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.
