Officially my favorite bakery in Flushing. I returned and tried:…read more + Purple sweet potato bun + Pandan with honey cake + Pandan coconut bun The two buns were the best, but I also really liked the pandan honey cake. You cannot go wrong here.

Was exploring Flushing eateries when I came across the Apollo Bakery. What not to like about the…read moreblack sesame bun? Also the matcha red bean bun that I went on to try?! Not too sweet desserts that go well with tea big time. I like their version of the classic sweet topping bun with a filling. The lightly sweet crumbly cookie-like topping on the fluffy bread-like bun filled with red bean paste was pretty good! I noticed that they also had mini mooncakes of various flavors. Be sure to see what you might want to try at the Apollo Bakery if you happen to be in Flushing. The associate at the bakery was tactful and patient when ringing up my order. A small bakery with some unique desserts.

Decided to stop by this bakery to try out just one thing since I wanted a small snack and it did…read morenot disappoint. I've been seeing a couple of reviews about their taro paste cream puff and knew I had to try it because I love a slightly sweetened dessert and I also really like taro paste. I would definitely go back and get it again another day. The Taro paste is added to the center very generously and the whip cream is nice and light with only a hint of sweetness. On top of this, the bread was not overly heavy and had a nice crunchy top. The service was very quick like any other Chinese bakery. I will be back another day to try more of their items.

Came here to grab some bread, pastries, and drinks for an event nearby. Service was efficient and…read morewe were able to get 15 milk teas and pastries in a timely manner. The ladies kept the line moving while making our milk teas. I tried the scallion bread with pork floss and it was fresh and soft. There is quite a large variety of breads, spongecakes, birthday cakes, pastries, and cookies at Sheng Mary Bakery.

Rainbow Bakery is a wonderful Chinese bakery offering a mixture of modern and traditional…read morepastries!! It is hard to find Chinese baked goods without dairy or egg in it. Red bean buns are my go to since they're vegan, and this one did not disappoint!! I ordered the matcha red bean bun and it was delicious! The sweetness of the red bean with the earthy flavor of the matcha was divine. You can also tell that these are fresh because of the warmth and fluffiness! Like most Chinese bakeries, you have tongs and a tray, and pick your own pastries. The checkout went quick since it wasn't too busy. The staff seemed knowledgeable and helpful to the patrons that needed assistance. The layout is cute and convenient. There isn't seating, but there is a countertop by the window that you can eat at. Overall, I really love this bakery and look forward to returning!

I got the garlic chicken sandwich to try, it was pretty good! I liked that there was a lot of…read moresavory bread/pastries. There's a lot of bakeries who have basic or plain savory breads and a lot more sweet ones. I prefer savory over sweet so this was a nice stop for me. Not sure if it was worth the price compared to going to a nearby food stall, but it was enough to hold me over a couple of hours in the morning. It can get packed and busy in here so it's really more of a grab and go type of bakery.

Maxin Bakery can be accessed from Main Street outside as well as inside Arcadia Mall. This cute yet…read moresmall bakery has a really good assortment of both sweet and savory Chinese baked goods. You will not be disappointed as their baked goods are all individually wrapped and well organized. Under each bakery item, you will see a label written both in Chinese and English that details what it is. Additionally you will find trays and tongs for your use, as you ponder how many delicious items are a must have haha. I for one had many warm and fresh tasting hot dog buns, roast pork buns and a set of sweet Portuguese custard tarts to go. I am a repeat offender here and always look forward to buying a ton. Their baked goods freeze well so I'm able to enjoy them at my leisure. You've got to stop in here when you're in the neighborhood, their baked goods are yum! Lots of sweet as well as savory items to indulge in. Lastly, I always have a large to go hot creamy coffee for the ride home!

This probably is the smallest of the Maxin bakeries, barely 10 feet wide, but is the closest to the…read moreMain St 7 train subway stop for convenience. They have all the baked goods that the bigger stores have, probably made at the one further down on Main St and delivered here in the morning. With the heavy foot traffic through here, I'm sure the baos here turnover rather quickly. I love to have a char siu bao for breakfast at the office in the mornings. A quick 30 sec in the microwave is all you need. Sometimes, I'll have a ham & egg or a 4 petal hot dog & bacon bun for variety. If I'm feeling the sweet tooth, a pineapple, egg custard bao or tart is the way to go.

Been seeing a lot of reviews and videos from @kittycateva of this place about this huge Mochi…read more Since we were in flushing, we decided to check it out. For the filling, you get to choose 2 or 3 fillings, but we got 2 fillings to try out. We got the mango pomelo & strawberry with rice powder for the dusting. They accept cards unless it's $5 but they do not take discovery cards. Super fresh and not overly sweet, which I was surprised by. I never knew there was another food hall in the area and there were a lot of good food stalls. Even good coconut was there too. Next time I need to check out the other stalls

I tried the plain and mango sponge cakes and they were good. Definitely not as good as Kam Hing in…read moreChinatown though, but decent for Queens. The plain could be a little "eggier" for a richer taste. The texture was fine, but the "mango taste" reminded me of artifical mango candy. Both flavors were light and fluffy. I wouldn't get the mango one again, though.

The line moves quickly at this Fay Da location, but the parking lot is very bad. The selection of…read morebaked goods are the classic char siu bao, custard bun, pineapple topping bread, egg tart, sponge cake, raisin braid, coconut flake bread, mochi, etc. The people working here mostly speak Mandarin, but some do understand Cantonese as well. It is usually busy inside of the bakery as well as outside, so it is not an ideal spot if you're looking to sit down or use the restroom while nearby. Good for grab and go.

The iced milk tea however was really bad. It tasted like cheap tea mixed in with a bunch of sugar. The flavor was so bad that we ended up just throwing it out. Service (3/5): Not particularly friendly service but they processed our purchase with minimal issue. We also were using a gift card and had no issues with it. Ambiance (3/5): The store looks outdated and not the cleanest but there is a decent area to sit and eat with a bunch of tables.

The mousse was light and naturally fruit flavored; each pastry had real fresh fruit. The mango was my favorite though the mangos had a bite to them as if it wasn't in season or ripened enough. Still, it was my favorite and I give it full points for flavor and texture. The chocolate exterior gave a good crunch on every bite. The bakery itself is clean and has nice lighting. I would recommend. The cashiers speak primarily Chinese so that's something to take into consideration but they do also speak English. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Light and refreshing fruit teas are here to stay! The honey osmanthus is like nothing I've ever had at other boba tea shops (in a good way) and stood out the most. I would totally get it again, except it is a little on the pricy end so maybe not too often. The shop itself is on a side street and quite lovely inside with lots of seating and huge windows. It was a huge reprieve to be in here away from the snow storms this year and it's a cute place to hang out while sipping on some yummy drinks.

There is a poster for $100 gift cards with a $15 bonus, think you might get an even bigger bonus if you pay with cash. The food: Honey Osmanthus Oolong Tea- The difference in price between the sizes are very minimal so just get the large. I get the large with zero sugar reg ice and this is the quintessential spring drink, it's not too sweet, it has a nice soothing floral flavor, it's not really a fancy drink but something I can picture drinking on a nice hot day. Mango Coconut Sago- I am old enough to remember this being a dessert in Flushing dessert shops but they offer it here in drink form and it works. I love that it is not over the top sweet and I love the overall flavor of this drink, the crushed ice makes for a nice refreshing drink.
