Quality First
We source thoughtfully, train consistently, and taste often. If it doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't reach your cup.
The Hill's Cafe
About Us
A calm corner of Forest Hills — marble counters, warm wood, and coffee made with intention.
Our story
Neighborhood coffee, elevated
The Hill's Cafe was created as a gathering place for Forest Hills — a space that feels as considered as an Apple Store and as welcoming as your favorite morning ritual.
We obsess over espresso, bake pastry fresh, and rotate seasonal drinks that taste like the weather outside. Come for the latte; stay for the quiet, bright room and the people who make it feel like home.

Location
107-11 Metropolitan Ave
You'll find us on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills — black frames, warm brick, and a pastry case that greets you at the door.
Open early for espresso runs, open late enough for an afternoon cold brew. We're a pickup-friendly cafe with room to sit, work, and catch up.
Our philosophy
Coffee is a craft. Hospitality is a habit.
We believe a great cafe balances precision and warmth — every cup dialed in, every guest treated like a regular.
Baked Daily
Our pastry partners and in-house bakers work in small batches so what's in the case is always at its best.
Seasonal by Design
Menus evolve with the calendar — floral spring lattes, cozy winter spices, and refreshers when the city heats up.
Community Rooted
Forest Hills is our home. We support local schools, host small events, and love seeing the same faces every morning.
The experience
More than a quick coffee run
What you'll find inside
Marble counters, warm wood accents, and a mirror-lined seating area filled with natural light. It's designed to feel calm — a place to read, work, or catch up with a friend over a Honey Lavender Latte.
Our pastry case sits front and center: croissants with visible layers, almond cream pastries, cookies, and scones that pair perfectly with a cappuccino. On busy mornings, regulars order ahead online and grab their drinks at pickup.
