Double Crispy has stepped up their game with so much competition from other bakeries in Chinatown…read more It is really convenient for me because it's halfway between my sister's place and the Grand St subway station and I can pick up cakes, pastries, snacks and drinks to bring to my favorite nieces and nephews. My other sister likes grabbing coffee and milk tea from here; iced in the summer and hot in the winter. I like that most of my favorite buns are self-service on the display tables and I will usually grab some char siu, hot dog and ham & egg baos to snack on or have for breakfast over the whole week. If you like egg tarts, there is usually a whole tray of them that you have to ask for them to wrap up for you. They come in the standard baked style and the sugar torched (bruléed) Portuguese style. Fresh is best but if you have to microwave your bao, eat them quick or they turn into rubber. The Pikachu Pokemon display cake looks really cute and I just might order that for my grand niece's birthday in a few months!

Since it's a small business, I'm guessing it's cash only (I paid with cash). Or there might be a minimum to use credit card. My coconut cream bread cost $2.25. That bread, man. So freakin good! It was warm and coconut to bread ratio was perfect. This bakery reminds me of home in the San Gabriel Valley in LA. This was perfect for breakfast! Quick, simple and you're on your way to continue exploring the city.

I'm happy that this place is so nice and clean, let's see how long that lasts. So far they have an A grade rating which I find refreshing in Chinatown. I went in the afternoon so the buns were no longer warm which I prefer. My favorite bakery down the street closed down (new territory bakery) the street this is second best!

There were no crumbs in their cases and no trash in the public area. The kitchen appears to be mostly metal paneling and the baker was scrubbing the floor. They also pre wrap many of their products in plastic. I'll come earlier to try their pork buns and I'll update my review. Ps. English is rarely spoken here so have some idea of what you want to try beforehand.

Solid bakery goods for cheap!…read more Come here for small, comforting bites of childhood. The cake rolls are tasty but not too sweet -- firm and yet somehow delightfully spongey. They also offer a variety of Asian breads and cookies. The milk teas and coffees are also basic but solid: no hip boba shop or cafe aesthetics here, but the drinks are cheap and get the job done. The gentleman I've encountered here is friendly and works through the line quickly. He's also taken the time to very patiently explain to me what a couple of the items are (some of the signs are in Mandarin). Duo Tian's location on Google Maps / Yelp makes it look like it's on Broome, but it's on Elridge just south of Shu Jiao Fu Zhou. I believe they're cash only, but may need to double check me on this.

Thank goodness some classic Chinatown bakeries remain…read more First tried the mochi balls a few weeks ago and now I'm addicted. They're so delicate, great soft texture, nice balance of tasty/sweet and "not too sweet", and perfect size (about 2-2.5" diameter). $1.50 for two, but I just pay $2. Forgot to take a photo to share before gobbling them . Staff/owners (?) are always very sweet and helpful. Reading other reviews, looking forward to trying other things.

The staff immediately asked if I needed help as I walked in. Once you walk in, there is cooked items such as noodles, curry fishballs, congee and rice noodles. Towards the middle and back of the store is baked goods and bread. There was even moon cake since it's Mid Autumn Festival. There are also hot and cold drinks. I ordered a noodle and a dried shrimp rice noodle. The noodles weren't too oily and had decent flavor. The dried shrimp noodle was good as well and not overpowering with shrimp or scallions. There is a small seating area. Would recommend for breakfast or quick bite.

I am honored to write this review of Cardio Bakery on Yelp - I am a sucker for a nice traditional…read moreCantonese cafe, which has been opened for about 2 months. I found out about this bakery on Instagram through Uncle Big Lau and wanted to come and check it out. The Instagram post talked about the Baker, who has 35+ years of baking experience and the bakery good shows. They look nice and fresh. On the side when you entered, they also have Cheung Fun (my galette!!) and noodles (my other favorite)!! If you're in the area, come and check it out. It's clean and quiet. It's a mix of Cantonese and Mandarin workers in unity. I love seeing that. The customers that come in are a mix of Cantonese and Fijianese under this Manhattan Bridge store. I am excited to come and chill here on my day offs. By the way, the cashiers are so friendly and kind!
