My friend and I came here for our hangout for a quick casual meetup for conversations and for quick bites and I loved the ambiance. The pink walls, there was a bookshelf available with books to read and cat photos to gaze upon. There was menus available at the front to take and review and we can sit down as the food is brought to us. It's more so of an Asian menu with bubble tea, green teas/black teas hot and cold options and eats such as salads, banh mi's, Chinese jianbings, sandwiches, and some dim sum like the shrimp dumplings I got. It was 10 for $10 which was a pretty good deal as that is affordable and it was delicious. It came out fast and warm and I finished it quickly with my friend. I also got some fruit green teas and it was the perfect balance of sweet and taste of the teas. My friend got the bacon cheese jianbing (not pictured) and it was bigger than she imagined with a lot of fillings. It was very much worth it and I would come back here again! read more

Comfortable ambiance but keep in mind that you need to buy something for every hour you stay. And everyone in your party must buy something. The chocolate muffin was delicious and cheap. Service is very quick. Cute decor! read more

Very cute place. I've been in here maybe one or two times to take out a coffee. But today I sat and had lunch with my friend. We had good iced tea. They have many flavors. She had the avocado sandwich which was chuck full of avocado. Really nice. And I had the BLT. Taste was good but very little B, L or T on there actually. Lol. The prices were fine and they're very nice behind the counter and we got a seat. And it's a cute place. read more

We often passed by this cute coffee place. Bright and quirky on the inside and out, the drinks were well-made, and the Avocado Sandwich was very fresh. It's crowded and service was mixed, but mostly friendly. The bathroom was pretty rough even for NY standards. Management would do well to attend to that and upgrade. read more

It's a cute small cafe. The food wasn't bad, but I only got a plain bagel with cream cheese and bacon so you can't really mess that up even if you tried lol. My only gripe is the seating. Since it's small, one person can tend to sit in a way that takes up a spot whereby two people can sit. The seating by the window can get really hot on a warm day. read more

Nice neighborhood cafe. Love the iced green teas and the matcha. Good bakery items too. The place seems great for people to work from there. Kind staff. Never tried the food tho . read more

Have been there a few times with mixed reviews for me. Service has always been great. Enjoyed sitting there with our hot beverages. Quiet and relaxing. Iced drinks have tasted watered down. Didn't get it again but when I had jianbing, it was just ok but not the same as we've had from Flushing, Bklyn. Recently, my family had pancakes- have had better, just different toppings on plain pancakes, which were dry/not fluffy ie Fruit pancakes just had fruits; banana chocolate had choc syrup and bananas; cinnamon had cinnamon powder. I always liked their mugs and plates though. Near 71st Continental Ave subway and LIRR Forest Hills stops. Buses nearby too. On busy Austin St with metered street parking, though not easy to get a spot read more

Inside is very cute and inviting, staff friendly! But overall the regular jian bian was bland & dry to me, not much sauce and rose latte was balanced but wasn't anything too special . The rose was chunky and kept getting stuck in the straw so wasn't easy to drink. Overall I will come back to try other items! read more

This used to be my beloved weekend brunch spot, mostly not for the food but for the vibe and the server. Right now, on a non busy Wednesday morning at 9ish, cafe 1/3 full, ordered a fruit pancake (as usual) but it took forever to come! Was on video chat with family from the point I sat down after placing the order, and the screen time indicated it well passed half an hour before my food does finally come! Worse still! The pancakes are not fluffy at all!!!! They are very gooey, hard to cut by their plastic knife , not to say to chew it down! The worst experience I have ever had ! read more

Took my wife for valentines breakfast yesterday, found them on google bye typing in "pink cafe" lol I actually was looking for a different spot but this caught my eyes and we took the drive from our house 30min worth the drive. The coffee and breakfast were delicious and fresh! The location had decent space to sit and eat and place was clean all around. Service was efficient. Only thing I'd would have liked was fresh bananas, this could be solely my opinion, but the bananas did not taste so fresh to me. The artwork on food and beverages were too tier! I'd highly recommend the spot. read more

Nice staff, killer banh mi & cappuccino, banana chocolate pancake looked amazing. Can't wait to make a return visit with kids.

The ambiance was quiet and comfy. They had so much local art and books available for those that decide to dine in. I was looking for a spot with simple sandwiches and breakfast options so I'm really glad I stumbled upon Pink Forest. The service was fast and efficient, no issues whatsoever. The juice was okay, nothing crazy. The sandwich was delicious! I wish I woulda gotten it with cheese like the cashier asked. Probably coming back to try their pancakes if I'm in the area again. read more

Everything was fantastic. It's a cozy place - doesn't feel like a museum, as most coffee shops do. I had a cappuccino with just the right amount of frothiness. The staff catered to me and everyone in the room as if they were family. I recommend. read more

Terrible coffee. Water to coffee ratio is not proportional. Too much water. Pancake is good but for $7 with only two small pieces is way too expensive. They dont ask for names or give numbers when customers are ordering that's why they give wrong orders to customers. Interior decoration could have been better. read more

I really didn't want to write a review about this place being that I only ate here a few times and I only ever ordered their BLT. The BLT is on hero bread and it's amazing except for the fact you only get like 3 pieces of bacon on it. I never been inside so I can't comment on that. Just make sure if you are ordering a BLT you asked for additional bacon. read more

A very nice café with delicious food and good coffee. Perfect to hang and read a bit.

Perfect. Beyond perfect if you ask me. Wish I could rate more for above and beyond service. A hidden gem of Queens. First and foremost.... the service - especially if you're a usual customer. I've been coming to Pink Forest for quite awhile now. They are extremely respectful! There is one girl who works there and knows me very well and even goes to call me by my name, with the respectable title of "Mr." - but everyone who works here are coffee/tea aficionados. They'll be able to recommend something for you if you're not sure what you're after. Secondly - the coffee. And the tea, of course. Way better than Starbucks. Coffee and tea are fresh to order, with options to customize your beverage as you like; hot or cold, flavoring shots, or as custom as you can think of. They also sell bubble tea if you like that. They also sell breakfast and other food - bagels, oatmeal, danishes, etc. and even Jian Bing, which is a Chinese sandwich... a lot of people seem to like that, as most of the time, I see people order those. If you're lucky, they also have little desserts to go with your coffee/tea - typically tiramisu and pie. One time, I had a little fudge bar they make from time to time - but again- if you're lucky. Next; despite this place may seem small... it's actually very cozy. There's a nice little corner table with really comfortable cushions to sit on, right by the window. That's a favorite spot for most people. There's something on the menu for everyone. Food, beverage and dessert. A few other things I'd like to mention are some specialties on the menu: starting with their mojitos (non alcoholic, of course!) - with different options. If you order this, you'll be met with a very refreshing and satisfying flavor - as mentioned prior, you have flavoring options - passion fruit, lychee and one other flavor I don't remember... I think. The other specialty, is the fruit slushies - a perfect treat for those hot summer days. Mango, Passion fruit, lychee, and a few more. Final comments If you plan to come here often, inquire about the stamp card they have... it comes in handy if you do. If you're new to the neighborhood, want good coffee/tea, breakfast, at any time of the day, then come here. You won't regret it. Many thanks to you guys for your years of exceptional service... from one of your #1 customers... ~Mr. Xin read more

It's been a while since I've been back to Pink Forest cafe but as usual they're great. Always look forward to getting a drink from this little cafe whenever I'm in my favorite neighborhood in NYC! read more

I love their jian bings, the atmosphere is very unique, and the lattes are very artfully presented. This is my go-to spot whenever I need to sit down, grab a coffee and get some work done. (They have their own WiFi network too) read more

Cute cafe - a bit pricey for what it is. The iced teas are incredibly sweet. - I had the strawberry green tea and my husband had a lemon iced tea. Both incredibly sweet. The croissants were all prepackaged and wrapped in Saran Wrap. They were decent. There was a weird mix of food on the menu with Vietnamese Banh Mi, Northern Chinese sandwiches, desserts, shrimp dumplings, and prepackaged pastries. I happened to be in the Forest Hills area with friends and didn't have time to wait for other cafes. Cute location, ok pastries but don't expect anything fancy read more

Indoor and outdoor seating is a available. A bit cramped and communal but that's part of its charm. Couples, groups, and singles- all can be found at this good vibe cafe. Prices are reasonable and service is friendly and efficient. WiFi is available. I've only had their cappuccino and brewed coffee and give them a four star rating. Has a very progressive, down to earth, friendly vibe. So far, my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. read more

Fine food and coffee but I had a very bad experience with the staff and thus won't be back. I met some friends who had already ordered their food and drink and were sitting at a table. I sat down to put my stuff down and chat before ordering something at the counter, and no more than a few minutes later, a server approached and VERY RUDELY told me to go up and order at the counter. A gentle reminder would have sufficed. I wish I'd had a better experience here, otherwise I'd go back. read more

I love their Chai tea latte and apple pie- SO good! Service is prompt in this cozy cafe; you can bring your laptop and set up camp for a while. Check out their yummy breakfast and salads too. read more

Super friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and great coffee! Opted for a vanilla oat latte today in this snowy weather and it did not disappoint! What I loved about this latte is that the coffee in it is strong with just the right amount of vanilla for sweetness and who doesn't love their coffee served in cute mugs? If you're ever in the forest hills area, I highly recommend this place...I didn't try any of their food options, but there are plenty of goodies! read more

This place is fairly good! I really loved the glasses the drinks were served in and the portions of the sandwiches were great! The Tofu banh mi was delicious, but the last quarter of the sandwich was just plain bread as the filling wasn't spread out properly to the whole sandwich. The vegetable sandwich wasn't anything exceptional, but nonetheless was good! read more

This cafe is super cute and pink like it's namesake. Not too small, but not too big with the perfect amount of spaced out tables. For the first time I didn't need the Wi-Fi, as I just popped in for a quick pick-me-up. But I did make a mental note that it is available if I ever need a spot to work at. My usual is a chai tea latte...but they were out of chai. I am always shocked when a place runs out of chai, but I guess it's more popular than I thought. I am definitely not a coffee drinker, but I was desperate for something to wake me up since I was super full from lunch and I didn't get much rest the night before. The staff behind the counter recommended the very popular pumpkin spiced latte, and at their recommendation I thought this will be the next best thing. I mean this in the best way possible, but this drink was tolerable. Since I'm not the biggest fan of espresso and ordered it out of pure necessity, I thought the pumpkin spice balanced the espresso well. I'm even more curious as to how their chai is. I hope they get more in soon! read more

Me and my girlfriend decided to try this place after living in the area for a year and a half, once entering the noise level was almost silent. There are like 5 places where you can sit inside and 4 tables outside. This isn't a location for a get together or date since everyone was either reading or doing work. The service is straight forward. Order, pay and they bring you your items. But overall good service for their location. The food and drinks were amazing in my opinion. The pancakes were delicious and probably one of the best out of all the places we visited. I order the BLT but it did have onions which I didn't mind. The plates and glasses were funny and hope people try this place at least once. read more

It's hard to like or not like this place. But ... The draw and appeal lies in two things: it's location (right on Austin Street) and it's coffee house style set up for those of us looking for a spot to set up shop and work on our laptops for a little bit. The lack of appeal lies in it's mediocrity from the food it serves (do not order the dumplings they are god-awful. We spit them up and threw them out after the first few bites.) The coffee is typical coffee house fare that is pretty much found in any number of places in the 'hood. There's nothing standing out about it. I really do like-ish the spot because of it's convenience. But, the tables tend to fill up fast and patrons aren't all that apt to be accommodating for others to sit at the table too. So, a table that should fit six or eight is taken over by two or three. I'll still use it from time to time, but it's not my office out of the office the way I saw it my first time or that I had hoped it would be. read more

I've been here a handful of times, and it's a cute little Café without real Café items. They have a BLT sandwich that contains onions. Weird, not mentioned on their menu, but it was tasty. I've had their mango frozen slush that I dream about. Their cappuccino is mediocre at beat. The staff doesn't really interact with you much when you stay and eat. It's an order and seat yourself kinda place. With no real direction on where to leave your used dishes. It's not bad for a local place to sit and relax with a friend read more

Pink Forest - Cappuccino and BLT - Bubble Tea Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

went here a couple weeks ago and just got around to writing the review, so bear in mind things might have changed. me and my brother went here as it looks pretty cute from the outside and we saw people eating inside the cafe itself. pretty cramped space but most people were there on their laptops. we got two drinks, i got an iced matcha latte and my brother got the ube swirl drink. the price was about 16 dollars after a 15 percent tip, which is very much so on the expensive side, even for a small business. but we said whatever, should be good. only after we paid we noticed there is a substantial up-charge per drink to have it in a to go cup, posted conveniently next to said to go cups on the very side of the register. i'll speak on the matcha because that's what i got. decent size for a large if i remember, but that's about where the nice things end. the matcha was light green and muddy. it was very, very milky and gritty. somehow tasted like nothing and bitter at the same time. probably one of the most heinous tasting matcha's i've ever had. my brother said his drink was also bad, but i didn't want to try it. pretty promising from the outside, a cute, little, cozy pink cafe; but the drinks were absolutely disappointing. maybe the food is better, but i don't want to pay to be disappointed again. read more

I like this place! I felt very comfortable, welcomed and they had good service. Their espresso is top notch! And their prices are lower than the coffee shop across the street...I'll be coming back again for sure. Would recommend! read more

In the passage of my Forest Hills nabe travels I was early for an appointment and to kill time summons a bakery. Pink Forest is an Asian bakery café which my mindset calls for an interim meal as I had no extreme hunger pangs for a full meal. Service is slow to fulfill orders. Seating is minimal. No facilities on the premise. Almond croissant $3.50 Giant size and almond filling was abundant and flaky. It certainly ate my fill for the interim. Iced Japanese green tea $4.50 Served in a large mug of Asian bamboo handle. The green tea was refreshing. Store policy is injustice: "all food and drinks final sale, NO refunds/no returns." read more

I like this place. It's cozy, it's asian, and I guess it's eco-friendly since they serve you drinks in cute, quirky mugs. What more could you want from a neighborhood cafe? A great place to sit with your friends and catch up over coffee, without being rushed out. We each ordered a Jian Bing (I'm all about the good old pork floss!) but each felt that there could have been more flavor, or toppings/sauce. It was also a little expensive for what you get, but the wrap itself is quite large. That won't turn me away though, so continue finding me here for some good ol' tea and coffee in a quirky mug! Now if only they had a bathroom. read more
