Come early to get their pastries and buns for they sell out fast. Sometimes I get here by 4 PM and there are lots of cream buns left which are very popular. The roast pork buns go fast too. This particular Rainbow Cakes & Donuts are know for their cakes. See many people on the line ordering cakes and picking up cakes. Look forward to purchasing one of their cakes in the near future. I truly enjoy their buns and pastries for they are plentiful and so much to select from.

I didn't visit this establishment but I was surprised with a cake from here for my birthday! Ordering process was super simple (according to my mother) and she went the day before to look at their options and place an order for next day pickup. Not sure the exact name of the cake, but it was half chocolate mousse, half chocolate cake. It was DELICIOUSSS. Not too sweet and the cake isn't the typical rich, dense chocolate cake. It is a lighter, spongier cake that balances out the richness of the chocolate mousse and ganache on top. Super happy with this cake! :)

This Rainbow bakery location distinguishes itself from others around the area by offering more modern cake designs and mochi donuts. There are some standard Chinese bakery breads here, but the selection is limited as the focus is more on the sweets here (cake, donuts, swiss rolls, cream puffs, etc.). Food: The mochi donuts have a lightly fried exterior and chewy middle and are pretty good! I love that the flavors aren't overly sweet. So far, I've tried the fruity pebbles, churro, mango, biscotti/coffee, strawberry, and matcha flavors. They were all fresh and tasty. I am amazed at how well they replicated the strawberry Pocky flavor. It tastes exactly like the strawberry Pocky stick! Certain mochi donut flavors sell out quick and I kind of wish there was a way to reserve them in advance. There could be two people taking orders at once and the last donut of a certain flavor could be snatched up by the person behind you because they called it before you did or if their person worked quicker than the one taking your order. It was also unclear if you should order the donuts at the cash register or if you should just call out to a person behind the display counter (I've seen both happen). They have HK milk tea here and it's well made. Their cake slices are pretty good too. Definitely try a few! Ambiance: The bakery is brightly lit and clean. There is a small seating area at the back of the store if you wish to eat in. Location: So glad they opened a location at this spot. It is very convenient to get to as it is steps away from the Grand Ave. subway station and Q58/59 bus stops). Overall: Great bakery to go to if you are looking for some slightly sweet desserts or want to pick up a cake for your next gathering! :)

Very cute bakery with lots of indoor seating. Their breads/pastries are so fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. Unlike most Asian bakeries in the area, they take credit cards. Things to try: black sesame bread, coconut bread, pork bun, matcha cronut. Can't wait to try their cakes next!

Love that another Rainbow bakery franchise opened up in Elmhurst. This location is much bigger compared to the other ones I've been to in Queens, more spacious and there is seating in the back. They have a wide selection of pastries, cakes and buns. I usually go to the one across Queens Blvd, but will most likely be going to this location since it is more convenient.

Many mochi donut options that all look fire!

Queens Pita is a treasure!!!

Usually a bakery is either great on cakes, or has great breads Queens Pita is great at both. Ty he prices are great. My family is lactose intolerant, and so the fact that although there is some dairy, most of their products, including Georgia's and delicious cakes, are lactose free parve. During Passover, their dedicated room has an assortment of the greatest kosher for Passover macaroons, cakes, cookies ever. My husband calls Queens Pita his happy place!

I am by no means a Jewish bakery expert but I was very happy with my visit. I was also very happy…read morewith the level of service I received, I asked someone there for help since I was a newbie and Alissa was more than welcoming and friendly with me, she even gave me a little tour of the bakery and highlighted some of their popular items. I really appreciated how she made me and my friend feel comfortable and welcome at the shop. The food: Meltaway Babka- it's a chocolate babka on steroids! Omg this was so damn good but it was very intense and on the sweet side but man this was so good. Eat this with some tea or coffee to tone it down. This is a must get. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=hYxUn_61aZq8ZQqzDIuMSQ Chocolate Babka- Turns out there are a few different types of chocolate babka here, there was the classic that comes in half a loaf, there is one that comes in a half loaf with some powdered sugar on top, and there was another one that was like a chocolate chocolate babka that came in a circular loaf that looked like cinnamon buns and had more of an intense chocolate flavor. I went with the classic and I was very happy with with the version here. I would easily come back just for this. I thought it was great, not too rich or oily and not too sweet. I thought this was an easy eating babka. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=-IrBczFaxKcUckdikQ-KfA Raspberry Hamantaschen- Turns out previously I only had subpar ones because the one I had here were amazing. The cookie dough part was made so well, it had such a nice texture. It wasn't too dry, not too crumbly, it was made just right. The raspberry part was ok, it tasted like raspberries but the flavor was a but light. Carrot Cake- This was good but kinda plain. The cake part was nice and moist but I felt it needed more flavor. Like it needed more of a carrot flavor or something. I was thinking if they made like a banana walnut bread with the same texture of the cake, it would have been amazing. Mini Black and White Cookies- Thought these were OK. To preface, I don't normally love black and white cookies because they don't even feel like they are cookies but the taste and texture was ok.

I was in the area with my family and stopped by here to get some coffee and doughnuts…read more The attendee at the front, Bicker (sorry if I got it wrong), was super friendly and informative. He was patient with me and my niece trying to decide which delicious doughnut we would want. I got the Iced Glazed Vanilla coffee and it was delicious. Hot chocolate for the kids were good, but since its "real" hot chocolate they thought it tasted weird. Only because its not processed and has real chocolate in it haha. We decided to get the tres Leche, strawberry, blackout, and red velvet. Strawberry one tasted like a Pocky stick, delicious! Tres Leche was a second fave amongst the kids, and then the blackout. Full of flavor and right amount of sweetness. The red velvet was the least favorite as it didn't give much red velvet flavor and was lacking something we couldn't put our finger on it. Overall really good doughnuts and can't wait to try others. The place is in a fancy looking lobby building and across the college. We went on the weekend so it was not as busy during that time. Its a great spot to pick up something.

It was interesting, as I don't think I've ever had a sourdoughnut before. I ended up ordering the brooklyn blackout chocolate donut, which was good, although not quite as indulgent as I was hoping. I might stop by again if I'm in the area to try some of their other donuts.
