The spot is not fully vegan, but you have no idea with the amount of pastries to choose from. There are so many cookies, cupcakes, brownies, and cakes. Not to mention three different types of vegan sandwiches, and the soup of the Day. That’s always vegan.

This is the second time I've visited Red Pipes Cafe. There are a variety of breakfast/desert baked goods that look yummy. I personally like the teas on the menu. My friend and I spent over 2 hrs there sitting and chatting and never felt rushed. No one came to ask if we were ready for the bill, etc. The atmosphere is very peaceful. The staff is friendly, efficient and very accommodating. There's lots of interesting stuff on the walls, so be sure to give a second look. It's a great location for remote work. There's music in the background, so those headphones that cancel background noise would be helpful for Zoom meetings and business calls. There's a bathroom. Parking isn't always easy, but I found a spot without difficulty both times. This last time I went around 10:30 a.m. on a weekday. Be sure to keep an eye on your meter though. Check out the menu, and go for the ambiance. It's a great place for a date, or to catch up with an old friend.

Red Pipes Cafe in Forest Hills has one of the most cosmopolitan local NYC “West Village” cafe vibes here in Forest Hills! Red Pipes is such an important part of our community for where Queens residences gather for espresso, coffee, amazing home made soups, sandwiches, salads, avocado toast, vegan (and regular) pies, cakes and desserts.
Owner, Ofer creates such a welcoming, inclusive warm vibes. I really appreciate the art work and decor. There’s actually an inspiring bulletin board with hand written positive jokes and word play (by Gary).
As a full-time professional touring musician I love that they have Thursday open mic and a yearly summer solstice outdoor concert!
My wife, Betina Hershey (runs Garden Players Musical Theater Program for kids) and we lead the band, The Scooches.
We often enjoy breakfast/ brunch and chatting with other folks from our community.
Many Thanks, Ofer and Red Pipes Cafe! We love you! 5/5 stars A+++

I really like their avocado egg croissant sandwich for breakfast and their muffins are delicious. Good standard coffee as well. The music is always on point and the right level of relaxing, great ambience.

I asked for iced coffee with a bit of half and half. I got half and half with lots of ice and a little bit of coffee for $6. The barista was too busy on the phone.

My favorite coffee shop in Forest Hills, so happy they were able to reopen. While their food options have improved I still come here to hang out in the back and catch up with clients

Great neighborhood coffee shop with local art on the walls. I love the atmosphere. I visit all the time, and wrote about half of my first book here. Even thanked Red Pipes in the acknowledgements.
I had the avocado egg croissant on a Sunday morning. The food was not worth the price. It was slightly cold and taste was just average. The atmosphere was decent though. Overall not the best experience in terms of food.

If you step in for a cup of coffee it will come with some crappy singer who imposes his political views on you with an antisemitic favor. The food is mediocre. A very negative experience.

I spent a long time today in this cafe and the owners were so very kind. I had a chocolate muffin and a tea here and they were both very good. One of the owners gave me a free iced coffee which was so generous and the other helped me find a comfortable spot to sit. They were both very sweet and I had a very pleasant time here!

A cozy little café with a very impressive vegan menu. Half of the menu on the wall includes vegan sandwiches and a stew and they also have vegan baked goods. I truly appreciate this, and the sandwich I had was great. This is a pretty quiet place with a comfy atmosphere. The young woman behind the counter was not very helpful or friendly, but the man who showed up later was. Overall, this place is a great spot, especially for someone who wants a thorough vegan menu.
Great staff and even better coffees and teas!
