Flushing being a town full of bakeries this one was worth the visit. They have a huge selection of pastries at a very reasonable price. We were able to get 5 different pastries for around $5. I didn't get a bubble tea but from looking at others bubble tea it seems they load it with tapioca which is a big plus to me.
Ny in flushing area, wow this area is like the 626 SGV of California haha cute bakery actually opened late with only limited drinks.
Decent bakery? Not much selection of good drinks but looks like higher quality in drinks than other places. Theres small seating areas if you want to chill.
I think I'm just spoiled by Alhambra's Chinese bakeries and food =/ I expected more from a bakery place in Flushing, guess not. Still decent price I guess, but the freshness isn't there
Why I think this place deserves more stars:
1) They speak Cantonese (and Mandarin). Finally I can speak my native language freely to order a spam and egg sandwich with milk tea!
2) They make your sandwiches right there, fresh, and it's hot and steamy.
3) A spam + egg sandwich + medium milk tea only costs $3.75.
Above average Chinese bakery near Main Street, Flushing. It has a few tables and chairs and is an alright place to get breakfast to stay or to go.
They have a pretty large cake, buns and pastry selection (larger than some of the others in the neighborhood), serve hot and cold drinks, and also cold and hot sandwiches.
Food tastes fresh to me.
Typical Chinese cakes and pastries. Try the Hong Kong style breakfast in the morning, ham with Egg or spam sandwiches served with a nice large cup of Joe, at $3.50 not a bad deal and yummy to boot.
To find Parking is a challenge since the only spots are across the street. Unfortunately, in the last few years parking has become such a chore.
Space that used to be available on Roosevelt ave between Prince and Main street have been lost to The NYC buses and TLC.
This is my go to breakfast place for when I was working in Flushing. Their selection of buns are vast and the service is quick and fast, perfect for on the run in the morning. They are usually busy so the turnaround time for the bun is high, that's why the buns are always fresh here.
I remember when this bakery first opened. The name was really appealing, like it'd have a cute, aromatic atmosphere. But it ended up looking and being like any other Chinese bakery in Flushing. It's not a bad thing. It's just expected. They do have unique items that other bakeries rarely carry, like vegetarian triangle sandwiches and various organic-looking breads.
I really only come for the breakfast special of egg&ham sandwich and coffee/tea. After hearing another customer request egg white only, I've been getting egg white and ham sandwiches for the past 2 years from here. I realized they are delicious not just because the bread is warm and fluffy, but they also use mayonnaise which tastes like soft butter when it's warm.
My aunt bought me a banana with black seseme sponge cake and it was YUM-O! I ate it for breakfast and was totally stuffed. It was just right, not too dry and not too moist!
After reading Queenie W's post, I'm craving for their Egg Omelet w/ Cucumber Sandwich!
