This is my go to place for Chinese chiffon cake. I usually get it filled with all pineapple. I've had some of their baked goods but not many. Trying to watch the waistline…lol. The workers are nice.

Dragon Bay is your run of the mill Chinese bakery set within the 8th Ave Brooklyn Chinatown community. They have a solid supply of baked goods, mostly fresh, at least the staple stuff like buns, and egg tarts. Beyond that I can't speak for anything else. This is perhaps one of the few places I would stop in as the other bakeries in the area don't appear and or have turned out to be not as fresh than at Dragon Bay. I will keep coming back here and here only if I'm in the area. I suggest you do the same. It's relatively inexpensive, and of course don't forget grabbing a milk tea to go with your goodies.
My husband and I decided to explore the neighborhood after visiting a friend at Maimonides Hospital last Saturday. We walked several blocks and we wanted to try some of the local / authentic foods. After passing a few bakeries we finally decided to enter Dragon Bay Bakery. Their metallic park-bench like seating was filled with happy patrons when we took our seats. We tried a pork bun, a sweet bun with a pineapple like filling, a papaya drink and a coffee. All four were delicious and very fresh. The coffee was made very well without me making any specifications at all. The papaya drink was refreshing, though it took some time to get use to the gummy bear like berries at the bottom. Both buns were great! It was also cool sitting along side of strangers enjoying their foods, too. I like the family style seating.
This is the first Chinese Bakery experience I have ever had and it was lovely. I would love to come back here and try more stuff. The staff were also very friendly and helpful to us when we were the only Latinos there. I really like the place.
Best Chinese bakery chain in Brooklyn!! How do I own a franchise?! I'm
Serious!!
They have everything your heart desires and more! Every Chinese bun filling with sweet Chinese desserts and cookies by the package. They make all sorts of flavored teas and hot drinks. You can custom
order cakes and there is a seating area but it's always crowded.
They know how to make a good cup of cold milk tea. Their prices are ridiculous though. A bread costs up to $1.50 now. DANG! What happened to 8th ave Chinese prices?! Anywho, I really enjoy their red bean bao. That with a cold cup of iced milk tea really hits the spot on a hot summer day.
This bakery is pretty average as far as Chinese bakeries go. I stopped in this Saturday with the bf and we got a Portuguese egg tart, Roast pork bun, and hot dog bun.
All the buns were okay, nothing that blew us away.
The ladies were nicer than usual though, so there's that.
Ah!!!…the smell of delicious Chinese breads and desserts. I love that smell every time I walk into one. Dragon Bay Bakery is a chain bakery all over 8th avenue. Some people say its the best bakery in 8th avenue. I have to say it is a good bakery. Many breads, desserts, and drinks to choose from the menu. Pick anything that your heart chooses. Best of all.. it is CHEAP!!!
Heart decided I wanted:
1. A small cup of hot milk tea. Good balance of milk and tea. Very satisfying drink to warm yourself.
2. A Fried Fish Fillet Bun. Maybe an ordinary fish fillet bun, but it sure is a tasty one.
3. A Char Sui Bun. Delicious roast pork. The sauce was great.
4. 2 Egg Tarts. The crust was soft and flaky. The custard was very smooth and silky. Great!!!
Add that all up…$4.25. Barely broke the bank.
Made my tummy all happy.
What if everything I touched turned to gold? Or an Asian bun? Priorities!
My go to bakery whenever I'm in eight avenue… This place is a chain!
I think Dragon bay Bakery has really good fruit cakes…they do fresh fruits and canned fruit cakes…personally i like fresh fruits…i like my fruits to be fresh and sweet…and this place makes it pretty tastefully… and pastries are pretty good but limited to seating's…since this place is so popular can be overwhelming…always crowed during breakfast and lunch.. For fresh pastries this is the place to go…but the prices are on the high side…offer an assortment individually wrapped….for lunch they also offer those big buns which is like a meal itself….has an egg…meat and vegetables in a steamed bun/fresh baked bun…yumm
