Adeni tea was great. We got another coffee with some sesame seeds, did not like those. The pastries were decent, got the cheesecake and the honeycomb bread. The aesthetics were nice and they have a bit of outdoor seating too. Would go back for the tea.

Step into the East with this refined coffee house that serves delicate pastries and the aromas of roasted pistachio, cardamom and a gentle hint of earthly sweet Oud. The service is efficient and the employees are courteous. Try their pistachio milk cake and signature coffee.

Had a great early coffee here this morning! It’s super quiet and peaceful inside, and they have tons of seating (a few tables with outlets as well, and they have WiFi for people who want to work here). We also got the Pancake Crazy Mix - very delicious and a nice presentation. Probably a little indulgent for breakfast, but it was a nice treat. The other pastries looked great, too. Just a note that Turkish coffee has very fine grounds in it and is supposed to be that way! The Iced Mowafer that I got didn’t have grounds so if you prefer groundless coffee like I do (and like cardamom), I’d recommend that one.

A charming little café where the beauty of the space matches the richness of the coffee. With sweet treats and soft ambiance, it’s the kind of place where time slows down — perfect for heartfelt conversations and quiet moments of joy.

I just love the ambience! Went there on a first date and they did not disappoint. Always super respectful and their coffee is top notch. They also didn't brake the bank, their prices are way cheaper than your regular run of the mill shops. 5 out of 5 for me.

Azal is an absolute gem! The drinks are incredible — I seriously can’t pick a favorite because they’re all so good. Their fresh juices are especially perfect on a hot summer day — refreshing, flavorful, and exactly what you need to cool down. Also, I have to mention their cup holder trays — they’re way more sturdy and practical than what you get at Starbucks or Dunkin’. It’s such a small detail, but it really stood out. Easy to carry, no spills — super convenient! If you’re looking for a spot that cares about quality and small details — Azal is a must-try.

Great place to sit down and have a drink. The place looks nice and there’s a bathroom available. Staff was super friendly and accommodating being that it was a large group I was with. Black tea was ok, but their signature Azal latte tasted pretty good and wasn’t too sweet. Plenty of pastries available, croissant was good 😊 Adeni chai was also good 8/10 plus they have milk alternatives like oatmilk and almond milk

— Do nott get their Biscoff Latte, it doesn’t taste like biscoff at all it’s jsut bitter coffee, and even when I asked for more sweetener it was still on the bitter side. — I’m not sure about their other pastries but their Hot chocolate was realllyy good would def recommend that. — The interior is really beautiful and aesthetic and the service was very smooth and workers were very polite. Music was a bit too loud tho.

A bit disappointed due to cleanliness of the bathroom. Came here with my husband for the first time and the beautiful decor reminds me of the cafes in most of Eastern Europe. Personally the pistachio and almond croissants had way too much cream filling but still tasty. Pistachio latte was excellent. The only reason why I would give this place a 3 star is because of the filthy bathroom. It was so disgusting it completely turned me off. I don’t think I’ll be going back there again.

The atmosphere is beautiful you can come here like a starbucks and relax. The coffee is not strong and flavorless so if you looking for really good coffee this place needs some improvement. Also the most important part that i wanted to address is, they need to improve how they are washing dishes, it’s very unsanitary that they wash their coffee mugs and tea kettles etc with just a dirty old worn out sponge and dish soap. We need steam and daily sponge changing and/or bleach

Their coffee is not for me, I really didn’t enjoy it…bitter and just yuck. I asked the guy at the counter to exchange it for tea and the tea was equally bad! 🤢 The pastries are okay but definitely not worth $8 each. The service was slow and not good. I would not go back to this cafe.

Forest Hills just got their Yemeni-American style coffee house that is affordable! Azal Coffee has a pretty spacious store and they serve Yemeni-American style sweet delights that look very tempting. The decor is quite chic, giving a modern touch that matches their interesting menu. While it's not the quietest coffee house, you might still find a corner to work on your laptop. During my visit, I tried their Iced Mofawar ($6.49 and I added a splenda), the HoneyComb Bread ($7.99) and 5 pcs of Macarons ($2 each). The Iced Mofawar had very strong cardamom flavors and it was a bit overpowering for me, but the change in taste was evident as it's very different from any American style coffee. The HoneyComb bread was huge but quite dry on the inside vs being moist. My most favorite items were the Macarons, and I got five different flavors to try - I'd highly recommend them! One thing that they could improve on is having the food item names and their prices visible. It was pretty annoying to ask the cashier multiple times "what is this" and "how much is this" and it also wastes both the cashier's and my time. And by the time I asked questions, more customers entered the shop and I felt uncomfortable holding the line.

The coffee we tried here was not to our liking because well, there was very little taste or smell of coffee. I tried the Saudi coffee and it was like turmeric water/a runny soup. I tried my friend’s coffee with sesame seeds and it tested like cardamom, turmeric flavored water with a small hint of coffee. The latte here is really bad too. Tastes like 7/11 coffee with foam and a 1/2 pound of sugar dumped in. If you’re not into Middle Eastern music, don’t come here because they blast it. The second time I came here, the service was very rude as well. M On my second visit, my observation was that if you don’t look Central Asian or Middle Eastern/Arab, you’re treated as throwaway business. Didn’t try the pastries because they looked pre-bought and very generic. The bathroom was filthy even though the dining area itself looked clean.

So now that AZAL is settled in, I went there to buy a snack. Upon entry there was loud arabic music playing over a low quality audio system. Since I did not intend to stay, I went ahead anyway to peruse their products. I selected a spinach danish. The items do not have pricing displayed. Normally I just walk out when I see this, but I was in a hurry and was still hopeful that AZAL would live up to its dazzling interior decor. No such luck. I was charged $8.90 for an item weighing less than 3 ounces (see picture). Three doors down a similar product is priced at about 4 to 5 dollars, standard for NYC including Manhattan. I went to check the menu and price on the AZAL website. No menu, and no list of items available for sale. Also the town name is wrong. This area is not known as Flushing (the post office is a satellite of the main Flushing office). With multiple coffee shops within sight of this place - go elsewhere folks. Let a more useful business come in and provide a service that is actually useful.
