"I stopped by this coffee shop and tried the chocolate muffin — wow, it was absolutely amazing! 🍫🔥 Hands down one of the best muffins I’ve ever had. The perfect balance of rich chocolate flavor and soft texture. On top of that, the staff was super nice and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!"

"I don’t want to get down too hard on this place but I can’t tell you how many times I ordered a simple ice coffee and it was different every single time - and not for the better. I spoke to the manager and she was really nice and the drink was ok for a while and then went right back to it either being a complete cream drink or all ice and curdled white filaments at the top w equally awful taste to a week ago where my ice coffee had an awful lemony after taste ?????? Sorry. I’m done. Update : 1/29/26. Look at the photo. I gave them another chance and this what they gave me."

"Loved everything about this cafe! The barista was so so friendly, she took my order fast and I was in and out. It was quite busy but she managed to be efficient. The prices are fair, coffee was delicious, sandwich was healthy and filling. 10000% coming back here for the food, coffee, and especially service!"

"Really nice and cozy cafe. Tasty pastries and robust coffees. The mochas are good and less pricier than other cafe's. I love their ice coffee's too. Really nice decor and comfortable seats..the only downside I see...No music..It REALLY needs some nice mellow music as at times it feels dead....sometimes they put a little speaker but most times I've been there there is none. There is also no foot traffic since it's inside a residential street. I hope they do well....it's my favorite cafe"

"As many have said, there was a painfully long wait for this place to open. The neighborhood watched as construction and decoration completed, yet the final lights on and doors open seemed to take forever. Why the anticipation? Because the Metropolitan edge of one of the top Queen's neighborhoods did not have a real barista centered café. That said, expectations, and the possibilities for disappointment, were quite high. I can now say that Hill's cafe not only fills the void with excellence, but it sets a new standard for a neighborhood cafe. The decor is efficient, comfortable, and pleasing to look at. The staff, given some small forgiveness that all new places are allowed, are very friendly, very skilled, and provide great service. All the drinks we have tried were excellent. John made a fantastic matcha today, sweetened it perfectly, and actually provided table service! There was a young woman a few days ago who made a perfect chai latte. Their assortment of bakery goods, all sourced from their supplier, seems to vary each time, with a few constants, but is presented quite appetizingly, and all that I have sampled (banana bread, a big round croissant, a coconut custard cream donut) were delicious. As I had hoped, Hill's cafe will be a regular stop during my walks through the neighborhood and after my runs in Forest Park."
