Stopped by again (was closed Wednesdays when I first visited) and finally got to try the goodies!…read moreAlthough I didn't have time to find parking for a stay - it's a small cute dessert shop with limited seats. I am a fan of the pandan flavor desserts and bought two that I wanted to try. One being a roll cake and the other layer cake. The pandan roll cake with taro I was told is a specialty that they only have on weekends. It was really flavorful, moist and spongy, just perfectly touched with a dash of sweetness in both the cake and the cream - I personally don't like overly sweet foods, and this is just perfect for me and my mom. I'm equally pleased with the layer cake as well it was very fresh and have that "QQ" texture - deliciously chewy and bouncy. This too, just hit right for me on the gentle sweetness, the pandan flavor keeping the spotlight in this dessert. My mom and I are big fans of these desserts. We just came back trying out others pandan layer cakes in Downtown Flushing and this shop beats them by a large margin. I hope to come back more when we could even though this shop is quite a distance for us.

I only tried the Chinese pastries. They're on the flaky side, so I recommend eating them on an actual tray, a bowl, or with some paper underneath because they're pretty delicate and crumbly. Some of them are spongy, like this cake thing, and others are flaky, like a cookie. I recommend 85° Bakery Café for a quick pit stop. The service is pretty nice, and the ambience is very Chinese. You can't go wrong with that.

(The first reviews of this place on Yelp are dated 2008). Although the prices aren't as inexpensive as they used to be (Cheap eats in NYC are going the way of the Dodo - might as well get used to it!) I still find they remained consistently delicious. Arguably, the chicken buns are the draw here - with a nice sized slab of juicy dark meat chicken tucked in a crispy outside, soft inside pineapple bun dressed with lettuce, tomato and cucumber it is winning combo. These days you will be hard pressed to find a cheaper and better chicken sandwich at $3.75 in NYC. Better to get here early to make sure they have them, also fresher! I asked for a Iced coffee and the default is light and sweet, which is a style I haven't had in while. It hit the spot. I tried the pork floss bun - it was large and tasty. The sponge cake was nice and soft, but friend remarked perhaps not the very best she's had, but good. They have don tat which will do the job, but not a stand out version. This is old school spot that after I walk out with my purchase I feel grateful it is still sticking around serving up goodness!

Flavor is not too strong and the bread is light! Overall, it is not salty with a tad of mayo/lettuce/cucumber slice. Their $2 pineapple buns are not too sweet/salt either. All of their breads are on the fluffy light side! One time, I found a hair on my bun and the ladies let me exchange for a new one. They also gave me a drink for free in return for the mishap. Their ying yang milk tea (they use lipton) is great too! It is a walk from main st 7 train, but if you are around this area, its a must try for easy/quick snack/small meal!

When I think back to…read moreour must recent visit here though, I'm reminded again and again how pleasant the staff were. It took us a while to decide on what to buy partly because we were buying also for our friends. Naturally, we were asked relatedly by at least the different staff if we needed help or if we were ready to order. Each time, they seemed genuinely want to help, and made us feel welcome with their smiles and gentle demeanor. For myself, the pistachio muffin was totally satisfying and I confirm they did not slump on the nuts. The crunchy eclair was a BIG hit with our friends, and the rest is kind of a blur but I know we enjoyed everything we tried. We'd go back without hesitation. I hope they keep up the great work.

Definitely one of the best French Bakery in Queens area or even in NYC!! Everything was good!…read more Location: It is located around the corner of 39th avenue and bell boulevard. The restaurant/bakery is big with lot of seating. Great display of cakes, pastries and breads. Street parking is available. Service: the nicest people. Food: all of their cakes, pastries and breads aew amazing. But two of my favorites are: DUKE: definitely a must! Its chocolate cake with I believe a cookie crust inside. It comes in cubes so definitely easier to share. CRUNCHY: this is the very must!! It's chocolate mouse inside with layers of other chocolates. Plus with nuts on it. It's like a ferrero but bigger! Price rating: 7/10. It was not expensive a good cake. I always buy cake here for special occasions or even if I am craving cakes. Visit this, its worth it!

I love how the pastry itself is very crispy, the dough still has a chew, and the cream filling is nice and light. Compared to Martha's cream that is heavy, dense, and super sweet, I definitely love Lulu's better. Their napoleon and eclair was also delicious, but the lobster tail is definitely the way to go! Glad to see that Lulu's is now in a bigger spot than before with much more seating and space! The staff are also very nice and pretty efficient. Looking forward to coming back again and trying some other pastries and cookies here. There's definitely a wide selection to choose from!

Everyone raves about this pie/cake! Hopefully I'll get to try it next time. This bakery has a lot of old-school Cantonese bakery items, as well as some hot foods. But on this visit, these are the items we tried: -- Individual Sponge cakes ($2): Very good! It's definitely not as eggy as the sponge cakes at Kam Hing in Manhattan Chinatown (The GOAT!!) but this version is much better than the ones at Golden Sponge Cakes in the Golden Mall. They were light & fluffy, and pretty good. I only wish they were more "eggy". -- Rainbow Sponge Cake Roll ($17): Pretty good! This log cake combines 3 flavors: vanilla, matcha & strawberry. Tasty, fresh and visually appealing! Customer service was very friendly, welcoming & helpful! Can't wait to go back for that Boston Cream Pie Cake!!

I walked into a clean, well lit space designed for quick selection rather than lingering, and the display cases were filled with brightly decorated cakes and pastries that looked consistently fresh. The mango based cakes are the most consistent thing here. I tried one and found it light, creamy, and built around fresh fruit rather than overly heavy frosting, which made it easy to finish even after a full meal. The matcha cake also worked well, leaning more milky than bitter, with a soft sponge that held its structure without feeling dry. The pork floss cakes are one of the more interesting savory sweet options, and they came out better than I expected since they did not go overboard on sweetness. The croissants and egg tarts are solid supporting items rather than the main reason to come. The croissant I had was flaky with a noticeable butter layer, and the egg tart was best eaten warm as the custard tightens up when cold. The purple rice desserts are heavier but work if I want something more filling and texturally different from the fruit cakes. Service was generally efficient even when the bakery was busy, and the staff moved through orders quickly. Prices sit a bit higher than older style Flushing bakeries, but the tradeoff is cleaner presentation, more modern flavor combinations, and consistently fresh looking cakes. For a modern bakery stop in Flushing, Shakalaka delivers on quality and visual appeal.

They offer really fun and delicious flavors here with their pastries and cakes. The prices here are also really good. Their bread is also really good. I tried the Japanese crab meat bread, Coconut cream bread, and their egg sandwich which I loved! They tasted delicious and they were also very filling. The ambience is modern and clean. The line moves quickly. However, it can be hard to find a seat here and it can get very busy. It's best to grab your pastries and go. It is also near public transit, and the train. I will come back here again to pick up a cake from here, the prices are good and the flavors are also good. Price:$8.75 Rating: 9/10

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.

When the food arrived it was piping hot we had to wait a bit before eating the fried foods. The salad was a good portion very satisfying, the cod, shrimp fish & chips was kind of disappointing there was only 3 shrimps and 1 piece of cod with fries buried under them. The fried squid was okay, kind of dry, and a takoyaki was pretty good. We got the English breakfast tea which was pretty standard, we also got the fruit tea which was kind of overwhelming I think the mix of fruits was a bit too much so avoid the Prince Passion Fruit Tea. For dessert we got the matcha ice cream, tiramisu, and the trio combo with the red bean ice cream pate de choux, the green tea financier, and the fruit tart. The fruit tart was very tiny and had a unriped mango on it, the green tea financier was pretty good, and the red bean ice cream pate de choux was okay, I think next time we'll just get 3 of the ice cream pate de choux because it's more worth the value. The tiramisu was kind of bland there was no espresso flavor in it. Overall the staff were very friendly and paid close attention to our table to make sure plates were cleared and took attention to when we wanted anything else. The ambiance is pretty nice, and the decor is cute. But next time we will probably avoid the fish & chips, fruit tart, fruit tea and tiramisu. Our bill came up to $100 for 3 people we probably would have spent about the same amount of money at a restaurant with real food, but it was nice how we were able to get small appetizers.
