Tip: The fruit pancakes are a hit, especially the banana, strawberry, and blackberry version. Chocolate banana pancakes are less favored due to the use of chocolate syrup instead of chips.

Pink Forest Albans Reviews
I remember commuting to a co-working space on Austin street after my move to long island. Those were fun times. There was this cafe on the corner where I had almond croissants and tofu ban mi sandwiches. Delicious!
Beautiful Vietnamese breakfast nook in Forest Hills, Queens. Delightful and friendly servers. The ambiance is cozy and warm. I arrived at 10:00AM and ordered a vegetable sandwich with chicken, no mayo, honey mustard with a fresh cup of Guatemalan, Ethiopian and Nigerian coffee mixed for a superb blend at the front counter. Wow! Wow! A delightful addition to Queens, New York's classy, up and coming vibrant neighborhood. Enjoy. Good people. They offer classic Vietnamese breakfasts so you are in for a fantastic treat.
I passed by this store today, and when I went in, I found that the interior decoration was very good. I ordered a cup of coffee and a croissant with bacon, cheese, and eggs, ham, avocado, unexpectedly delicious, the price is also good, and the waiter is very nice. I will come here again next time.
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
Such a cute café and great food. Love the fruit pancake (banana, strawberry, blackberry) and their syrup is really sweet and good. Chocolate banana pancake isn't as good since it's chocolate syrup instead of chips. BLT is on a baguette like a bahm mi, pretty standard and good. Bacon Egg and Cheese bagel is great, bagel was so soft and warm with good quality ingredients. Love the fresh fruit drink (strawberry and orange juice).
Adorable little coffee shop Just went there for the first time. Ordered an iced pineapple green tea, which came perfectly sweet and in a pineapple shaped cup, and a ham bahn mi, which was more like bologna but delicious nonetheless. Place is super cute and pink and feels very homey, will absolutely go again.
Really love coming here when I’m in Forest Hills. Today we ordered an iced white mocha, snow coffee, bacon egg cheese croissant and a regular jian bing. I noticed from the several times that I’ve been here, a popular item that is ordered are their pancakes. I’ll have to try it next time. The locals in this area are chill and family friendly. I love stopping by Pink Forest to pick up some breakfast and it can get crowded at times on the weekend…But that’s a good sign! Expect to wait up to 10 mins for your order but it’s not a setback when you know what to expect and for delicious coffee and food. It’s become more popular over the years and always a pleasure stopping by.
This cafe is super adorable and I love the food options tho I didn’t have food this time. I had the snow coffee, which was enjoyable, though the tea taste was much more potent than anticipated. The barista was lovely and helpful. My one note is that the two coffees took a bit long to come out which surprised me. I wasn’t in a rush so was chill, but a person that is on a schedule might feel otherwise.
I had great coffee and a delicious bagel at Pink Forest. The decoration and vibe of the place are both really cute. The people who worked there were super nice and attentive. I went there with my family and I tried a sip of some of their drinks; everything was delicious. Pink Forest is a cute spot with a friendly staff and delicious food.
There isn’t much “forestry” to be found within the Pink Forest cafe; perhaps the name refers instead to the profusion of dishes that fail to register as a cohesive offering. While its heart and soul clearly lie with Asian staples like Jian Bing and Banh Mi sandwiches to be eaten with tea that they claim calms the mind, it is curious that they also offer American fare such as pancakes and the like. It is a capable but a hodgepodge of a cafe, one wonders why they don’t choose a name that exudes its true sentiment—Vietnamese Cafe? Maybe I am mistaking the forest for the trees ? Or whatever that silly expression is !
Cute cafe with nice cozy atmosphere. It’s a little on the disheveled side of cafes but it’s quaint and charming in its own way. They offer regular cafe qrinks as well as boba and teas. They also have food options and treats. It’s a very homey spot. It’s nice to sit by the window and people watch and enjoy the day. They have outdoor seating during the warmer months that are very nice. I enjoyed and recommend a visit when you’re in the area if you are looking for a lowkey place to study or read.
This place has an amazing atmosphere and great food. However, something is up with how they make their coffee. I ordered a single shot americano and it tasted extremely weak - 25% of the strength I am used to. They kindly offered to give me a second shot, but that only improved the strength to 50%. Please reconsider how you are pulling shots on the espresso machine - they are way too weak and take away from the potential of this cafe. FYI this is the third time I have visited. Every time the coffee is weak.
Have been here 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
This place was a disappointment. Been wanting to try out this place for a while. Finally had a chance. The hot chocolate was the worst. It was mostly muddy water. The brownie was good, but it was too small. We waited a little too long for our order. At least they let you use the bathroom while you wait but still.
Waited 40 minutes for a smoothie, an omelette, and a bagel — ridiculous. I ordered a toasted bagel with butter and ham and got half a slice of ham for $2. The bagel was dryer than the Sahara desert, definitely not fresh. Toasted? Not really — just stale and hard. The butter wasn’t spread, just slapped on in chunks. Honestly gross and depressing. If you’re going to offer bagels, at least make sure they aren’t old. Never coming back.
