19 Best Coffee Shops in Forest Hills

“My new favorite spot in forest hills! I tried a brown butter banana matcha latte and it was so delicious! Also had their Nutella croffle which was so good! Will be back to try their other drinks but overall a great spot to hang with friends or have a solo cafe date. It does get pretty busy in there but the line moves quick. There’s also a decent amount of seating.“

“Delightful place to stop for afternoon tea. Discovered their Blue Azul Tea and pistachio cream filled Yemini bread puff! Really delicious and comfortable well lit place to enjoy a bite in the neighborhood. If they expand their menu to include vegan sandwiches they will be perfect!“

“Honestly, if you've heard any hype about this place, believe it. Not only are the staff amazing (yes, all of the staff!) not only are you greeted with warm welcomes but you're immediately greeted with the warm smell of the delicious cookies on hand. We've compared the lineup of cookies to 'other' cookie shops and they don't stand up to Chip City. Our favorites have been the Confetti and Triple Chocolate. My personal fave was the Rainbow cookie so grab when it makes an appearance. And yes, you can check on their site for the week's lineup and plan accordingly. I also want to mention that there is a rewards points system in play of you choose to share your number (they promised me it was only used for points and they don't sell your number- I haven't received any unsolicited texts since signing up). The quickest way to rack up points of buying the Box Sets (3 or 6). Enjoy!

Update: the variety of cookies never stops to amaze me. please, if you're in first hills, stop in and get at least one cookie.“

“I've been a loyal customer at Coffee Shot for about 3 years now & words are not enough to explain how much i love it there! The atmosphere is very calming and luxurious, each and every one of the staff are so caring and attentive of the customers[ Alex makes the most delicious & sweet lattes], and the drinks, pastries & sandwiches are so good. Its a 10/10 for me 😊“

“I really like this Forest Hills Metropolitan Ave location. I met the owner Imran once and stayed in touch; he seems friendly and down to earth.

It’s what one would expect with D & D espresso but it’s consistent & convenient. As a health conscious vegetarian, I appreciate that they have non dessert and non meat food items such as avocado, toast, hash browns, bagels.

The staff here are welcoming, friendly, hard working and professional.
Jahn is always professional, attentive, friendly and a sincere human being.

They have tables and which was helpful for my 78 year old mom (when she was alive) who was able to get here with her walker. (one floor, No stairs, a designated mobility needs table, but no bathrooms)

This location is small but has few tables, chairs plus stools along a long table along the window

I really appreciate seeing folks of all ages from students, families to seniors in our neighborhood visit.

D & D staff Poly and Andalip are also professional, friendly and welcoming and it's incredible that this Dunkin’ Donuts is open in this blizzard today (Sunday, Jan 25, 2026)!

I just picked up espresso and bagels when other stores are closed. Let’s acknowledge how hard this staff works, staying open and working happily even during storms and many holidays. Remember to tip them!

Thank you so much Dunkin’ on Metropolitan Ave Forest Hills, Queens! A++ 5/5 stars!

“5 stars for BRIAN! Brian helped me with a birthday cake, and he was pleasant, and helpful throughout the whole process. His customer service really stood out and made everything so easy. I truly hope he gets the recognition he deserves, thank you, Brian!

*was there ~6pm today!“

“Amazing morning service! Thank you to the AM team for taking on the morning rush with such grace and patience. This was my first time coming in during the morning rush (and after school started). The amount of orders and people waiting were almost out the door. Yet, every member was friendly and fast in getting the orders out. They even apologized for the wait when it's a normal amount to wait given the influx of orders. Thank you for making our mornings better and not getting frustrated with us.“

“I had a wonderful experience at the Dunkin' in Forest Hills. The entire shop is clean, and both the stocks and the condiment counter are neatly arranged. The trash bins are covered and regularly emptied, keeping the area tidy. Walking into this store feels like entering a library because it is so peaceful and quiet. It is the perfect spot for some quality me-time, and I will definitely be coming back.

Key Highlights
Spotless store: Every area is perfectly clean and well-kept.

Organized setup: Condiments and stock items are beautifully arranged.

Tidy trash: Waste bins are properly covered and emptied often.

Calm vibe: The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet like a library.

Final Thoughts
This is by far one of the best locations to enjoy a quiet coffee. I highly recommend it if you need a relaxing break during your day.“
