String beans, fish and general tso with lo mein
Sally W.

It's the one and only Chinese bakery near my apartment. Thank goodness for that. I moved from Chinatown to Jackson Heights. I need the occasional Chinese food that is not from a American Chinese place, ick. I need to a place to buy Chinese baos so thank goodness there is Max Bakery by the 7 train as I get off! I need the occasional hot dog bun, ham and egg bun, or Custard/Pineapple bun. They even have the pick "4 choices with soup" for $5 buffet that I am accustomed to in Chinatown. The ham and egg and chicken buns are very tasty here. The staff is very patient to explain what everything is. The bun variety is small but as far as taste goes, Max Bakery is much better than the bakeries by the Roosevelt Avenue subway station. It's too bad that Max Bakery doesn't sell baked roast pork buns or any steamed buns. I hope they expand their inventory to include these items one day. I have no where to buy steamed roast pork buns or steamed chicken buns near me. Sad face. The buffet food has been consistently delicious and fresh. I just wish they had more variety. It's almost all chicken. Kinda boring. choices. They just put up sneeze guards in front of the buffet. I just tried their chicken sandwich which is ground chicken meat that is seasoned and cooked into long patty. It is delicious! I can't wait to go back! Their strongest product is the ham and egg bun and the chicken sandwich. YUM.

Coconut Cream Bun.

Really solid tasting Pineapple buns with a flavorful and nicely crumbly streusel on top. The dough has a nice texture with a slight buttery flavor too. I also bought a coconut cream bun which wasn't as good with the dough being a bit overcooked and dense and the cream was a bit bland.

The storefront on 90th street between Roosevelt and 37th avenue! (It is a bit hidden!)

There was a tray of Tee-Doy decided not to buy any of them because they were all hard. Got 2 of the fish sandwiches and 2 of the chicken sandwiches. The prices for both sandwiches and bun have jumped up since January. I stopped here to get items for family and relatives/friends. Not impressed with their chicken sandwiches for they were hard and there is tendon in one other chicken sandwich has area that was not edible. The quality definitely not what it use to be here. There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

This is one of the busy cafes in Elmhurst that has the most variety of items…read more They offer things such as cakes, Chinese breads, mochi donuts and more. I decided to try their Coconut Pandan cake which was enjoyable except for the jelly they had in the middle. The cake itself was pretty moist and the cream had a nice Pandan flavor. The Portuguese egg tart is what you would expect from one of these bakery's, very basic but it was nice and flaky. The milk tea was also okay, we asked for less sugar so it was not too sweet. We also got the sesame mochi to go and this was delicious! Definitely the best thing I bought from this bakery. The sesame paste was nice and strong but not too gritty and the mochi was super soft. I have to go back to grab another when I get the chance!

We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

This bakery is amazing--everything is made in-house, and it always smells incredible when you walk…read morein. A friend recommended it to me, and I've already ordered two birthday cakes from here. The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!
