01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

The menu here showcases Starbucks’ innovative take on beloved coffee classics, infused with trendy flavors that spark curiosity and delight the palate. Notably, the Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato is a true sensory adventure: full-bodied espresso melds flawlessly with creamy milk and toasted coconut syrup, crowned by a luscious ube coconut cold foam and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, delivering a decadent nutty vanilla sweetness with every purple-hued sip.

We were so excited to see Starbucks opening up a new location in Forest Hills with modern and cozier decor even though we are not fans of Starbucks. The staff was friendly, welcoming and served everything quickly which surprised us so much since the overall impression of their service in other locations isn’t too good. We got a cup of hot Latte and it’s delicious & refreshing with reasonable price & portion.

First, I have to give props to Kimberly. She ALWAYS addresses me and other clients with a genuine positive and helpful energy. Her energy and smile coupled with my favorite Dirty Chai w/Oat milk help me push on thru the day and be positive . I also have to acknowledge Victoria for introducing me to the Brown Sugar Oatmilk Cortado—DELICIOUS!! Thank you Kimberly, thank you Victoria and Thank you Starbucks Forest Hills staff. This is the example which others should follow. The grab and go food/snack options are great. The atmosphere is relaxing and the place is spotless clean. Great job people!!

Great location and friendly staff. Came here a few times after opening, and the staff members have been friendly every time. The drinks came out less than 5 minutes (as a fellow Starbucks consumer, we know this matters). Hope this service is kept up like this in the future as well!

I do not order from Starbucks often. In fact the last time I ordered from a Starbucks was more than a year ago. However, I placed an order for a Mocha Cookie Crumble and within minutes it was done and presented to me with a smile. It was absolutely fabulous taste and appearance wise! I received compliments from so many people and recommended them to this wonderful Starbucks!

The place and the staff were nice until they changed the restroom to employees ONLY. Customers are NOT allowed to use the restroom. I’m going to Gregory’s across the street in the future, they have a restroom that customers can use. It’s also funny to see the owner has replied on all 5 star reviews but didn’t say a word on any negative review. It feels like they wouldn’t do anything to improve anyhow. Update: they have their restroom back for customers again. You just need to ask them to open it for you
