I love that they have a seasonal ube flavor option and also a pandan flavor option, but I just wanted the original flavor that day so didn't get to try those yet.

I'm a local for Forest Hills native and I also do enjoy a coffee almost every single day so I was…read morereally excited about this place. I've since it opened given it three separate opportunities to redeem itself, but every single time I get coffee from here I'm extremely disappointed. it's burnt way too hot and just altogether gross tasting. Great location so it's pretty sad that the coffee is just way below average. Actually will never get caught from here again. I've tried to like it so many times- four actually. Now that I think of it, even the iced coffee was shitty, and that's hard to mess up. I think they need to calibrate their espresso machine or simply learn how to make espresso- one of the two. In case it's some of the worst espresso I've had in this neighborhood. Go to the French place on Austin Street. They do it right.

Came a month ago to try again....My husband ordered an iced latte. Sadly it was still as bad as the…read morefirst few times I visited. Really bummed as I genuinely love that there's a cafe here but I think I will need to buy a bottled beverage to come back and come for the ambiance and not the quality of coffee. The latte wasn't cold enough and it tasted once again mostly like milk with some coffee. It was not good :/

Nice little cafe offering brunch and drinks in LIC. I got a Croissant Benedict ($19.50), which had…read moresmoked salmon, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce in a croissant (with a side salad). Although, it was pretty good, I do think the price is a tad on the high end but not too unreasonable considering the smoked salmon. The cafe has a nice seating area including both indoor and covered patio seating. The lady behind the counter / serving the tables was friendly and the service speed was decent. The space is not too big, so there's a cozy vibe. Overall, I think Cafe Coco is a solid choice if you're looking for a casual brunch / coffee spot near the Court Square subway station.

I noticed them a while back but never went in but since I was already on the corner and saw the sign I decided to pop in and check it out. On a weekday afternoon around 3pm it was relatively quiet and fairly cool inside which is nice. There were a lot of interested pieces are artwork adorning the walls and tables and I absolutely loved that part of the ambiance. It's a narrow small cafe but has a fair amount of seating for solo cafe trips or perhaps meeting someone. No large groups indoors. But they did have a backyard outdoor seating which with the summer heat smelled like a dry wood sauna in a really good way. It was a cozy feeling. They had some fans running outdoor too which was considerate. Now for food, my friend got the white chocolate latte while I grabbed the lemon tart (almond flour cake) and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. CC cookie: maybe around a 3.7-4 out of 5. The texture was surprisingly soft and chewy. Like REALLY chewy. It looked like it would have some crunch or crisp to the edges but it was all soft and chewy. If that's your thing you'll love it. I thought the flavor itself is not bad but definitely like my cookies a bit more crispy on the edges. Would go good with milk tart: 4/5 good lemon flavor, more dense than I expected but very moist and delicious. I would definitely get it again because I am biased towards almond flour cakes. Would go great with coffee or tea and is imo a perfect summer treat. Especially slightly chilled. White chocolate coffee: not strong white chocolate flavor, just a standard avg coffee. Not a deal breaker but would not seal the deal as a 5 star cafe unfortunately. I haven't tried the breakfast options so I'll definitely come back for that.

I would go more for the space to work and the aesthetic to see people and not necessarily for the drinks or food. Got the tiramisu latte which was very aesthetic but the coffee was not very strong at all. The fries were also good but again, nothing crazy standout. Prices are OK but I've paid these prices for better coffee.

The lady who runs this place is manipulative and clearly making up prices as she goes. Confirmed by…read morewhat other reviewers have said on Google Maps. None of the prices were on the menu. Tuna sandwich was $18, soup was $18. There were two sizes of soups and she didn't ask which one we wanted and then gave us a huge one, which is clearly another meal's worth. She didn't itemize the charges until we asked and it still sounded wrong. She said "oh I won't charge you for the bread," and we didn't even ask for bread, it just came with the soup. She messed up our orders, we both asked for cheese, and she gave only one of us cheese, and then they were the same made up price. She clearly was messing up other people's orders as well thinking a girl got a coffee when she actually got a smoothie (though I will give her credit that she clarified and did get her the smoothie). When the girl asked for it to go the woman was actually mad about it and it was like the girl had to justify getting it to go. On top of all this the place was kind of dirty and disorganized and it was very difficult to communicate with her. The food was actually pretty good and at first I thought I'd like to come back to try her pastries or something, but there's no way I'm going through all this crap to get them. If her business practices were honest I would come back, but they aren't. I'm not usually one to take issue with service and such--I'll go to the grungiest hole in a wall in the world and love it--but this was messed up. This whole experience made me doubt everything--she claimed the bread was homemade, the mayo was homemade, everything was organic--given everything else I am extremely skeptical of that. I regret not having the bravery to confront her about all this and instead just paying up like a schmuck. Can't believe this place is rated so highly. Just go to the deli next door.

We had fuska (filled with chickpeas and potatoes) with yogurt and with tok pani (tamarind sweet and sour). We also tried almond cookies with chocolate centers for a little sweet treat.

I haven't tried the food but it looked good. Extensive drink menu. I had the Rooh Afza matcha, the rose syrup was nice but not overpowering and the matcha was a nice green color, I definitely felt the caffeine kick! Our group of four stayed for a while to chat so I went up to buy the last banana pudding. The woman working took it in the back to add more fresh banana on top and we all enjoyed splitting it. They have a solid range of desserts and pastries on display. There's $2.50 cucumber tea sandwiches or Lipton tea with lemon if you're looking to be a very cheap date. It's hard for a cafe to compete with the pink chai down the block when I'm going out of my way to come to this part of the neighborhood, but for somewhere to work, read or hang with a friend I would definitely choose First Cup, and I will be back for more banana pudding and another fun latte.
