Taro desserts have my whole heart and the Vanilla Taro slice from Sweet Cakes in Flushing delivered exactly what I needed! The layers were light and fluffy, the taro flavor came through beautifully without being too heavy, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced, not that sugar overload you sometimes get with cake. It was just right. Decadent in the best way possible. read more

For a place called Sweet Cake, everything we tried wasn't very sweet.. and not in a good way of "not too sweet." First, the egg tarts were so bland as if they forgot to add sugar in the recipe. Not sure if it was just an off day or if it normally tastes like that. Next, the matcha croissant was nothing special either. The flavor of the cream was barely matcha flavored, it tasted more floral with a hint of matcha. Texture of the croissant was also just average. The sweet potato mochi bread was the most stand out of the 3. There was a nice sweet potato flavor and the mochi was nice, although overall it was mostly just average as well. Hopefully it was just an off day for their baked goods, the space is relatively small but it was cozy. I could see people getting work done while there. read more

Definitely think the matcha green tea donut stood out in comparison based on was ordered although I liked it all! Plus the oolong tea was nice with the osmanthus undertones which add a sweet floral taste. Spacious bakery with customers working on their laptop as well as people eating together. The Asian-inspired pastries at Sweet Cake are eye-catching with interesting flavor combinations. read more

One of the few bakeries in the area that had such an abundance of black sesame desserts! I was in heaven. I tried the black sesame earl gray cake and it was so soft and moist I got it 2 days in a row. I wish I could have tried the other desserts but did not get the chance to - will definitely make sure to visit again to try the other options! Inside has adequate seating options and kept very clean. read more

Love getting the cakes here as they're not too sweet. I usually opt for the strawberry matcha cake or the taro cake. A full sized cake is like $42. The decorations are super cute, and the flavor is light. The matcha cake doesn't taste much like matcha at all, though, but I couldn't care less. The strawberry part is light and slightly tart. Highly recommended for an Asian taste palette! read more

I definitely like supporting a local business when possible. It's even better when the product and quality is good! The small bakery had some nice surprises. The space is ample with enough seating and nicely decorated as well. The pastries that they have look very modern, but have a traditional essence to them as in Asian bakery... They're still very delicious and not too sweet. My favorite thing that I got was the ube puff. It was flaky like a croissant with a fluffy, creamy filling that was just the right amount of sweet for me. The staff was very friendly and quick on their toes to make sure to get everyone's orders just right and out in time. I would definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

I heard about this place because of a special promotion they were running for their 3rd anniversary. If you spent a certain amount, you could get a raffle ticket and potentially win a Labubu, and the first 5 who do, are able to get a guaranteed one! I figure, I love sweets, and I don't HAVE a labubu yet, so why not right? :3 I came by and got 3 slices of cake (the Strawberry Sweetheart, Double Layer Chocolate Cake, and the Summer Lemon Pistachio) as well as two pastries (Strawberry Danish with Almond Cream and something just called the Grilled Cheese) and was able to play the raffle where I won a free drink, choosing the Lychee Yakult. Aesthetically speaking the cakes are very pretty and the packaging holds up which is nice for when you have to commute back home with them ( I live near Coney Island for reference). Strawberry Sweetheart: I think the balance of strawberry cream to the cake was handled well. A bit more strawberry forward in terms of strawberry than a strawberry shortcake with a hint of rose to it I believe, I detected some floral notes to it, which were understated but present and delightful. ------------------------------------ Double Layer Chocolate Cake: I will say, when something says Double Layer Chocolate Cake, I'm kindddd of expecting it to be a burst of chocolate flavor. This isn't too heavy handed, which I know some people would appreciate, but I'd love for them to pile on the chocolate flavor! ------------------------------------ Summer Lemon and Pistachio: I think the lemon flavor compliments it well, just wish the pistachio was also a bit stronger, it is Summer Lemon and Pistachio after all! The flavor combination is a good pairing though, tart+ citrus with the earthy nuttyiness of pistachio. ------------------------------------ Grilled Cheese: Okay, when I asked about this, they couldn't REALLY tell me more about it which I thought was funny lol. Tastewise, it kind of tastes like a gooier egg tart, one which the center isn't as baked through. It tastes good! And the pastry shell, I will say is very crispy which is a great plus but it didn't really come off as Grilled Cheese haha. ------------------------------------ Strawberry Danish with Almond Cream: Just a well executed strawberry with pastry cream danish. The cream has good flavor and pairs well with the strawberries, and they do their pastry shells VERY well here I've noticed. They're super crispy and not a hint of sogginess to it, even when holding all that cream inside. ------------------------------------ Lychee Yakult- perfect as is. It tastes a bit like yakult+ lychee boba which is great, well balanced and you can taste both flavors which lend to the overall drink. ------------------------------------ The cherry on top was the free Labubu with my purchase ( I ended up getting Loyalty) but overall, the baked goods they make here are quite good. It's a little off the main shopping street in Flushing but not too far. These cakes are basically made for the quintessential Asian who often doesn't like their desserts too sweet. I will say, I'm kind of the antithesis to most Asians though, I have a huge sweet tooth and I would love to see a bit more Western flavor profiles mixed into some of these cakes, whether that's denser cake, sweeter creams, or more out there combinations on top of the pastries they have now! read more

I recently visited @sweetcakenewyork, and I have to say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish and prices are reasonable. I tried the unique Taro Mochi Croissant and it was outstanding. The croissant had a perfect balance of flavors and a flaky, buttery texture that melted in my mouth. Everything tasted fresh and clearly made with care. Matcha Cranberry attracted my attention so I decided to get it. It was fabulous. Everything was delicious and it is hard to pick just one. I love that they have my fave flavors, Matcha, Taro and Ube. This place is a hidden gem (or well-loved local favorite), and I'll absolutely be returning. Whether you're after a quick coffee, a loaf of artisanal bread, or a decadent dessert, @sweetcakenewyork delivers on all fronts.

This is a cute café/bakery on Northern Blvd. right off of Main Street. They have a few tables inside for those who want to dine in. I thought the desserts were a little on the pricey side and I saw one dessert with a price point of $11.99...yikers. Considering, I can get a slice of cake nearby for around $8, it may not be the best value here. I found the service was friendly. Their selection of desserts seemed limited but perhaps it was because of the time of day which I went - around 4:30p. They also didn't have a menu posted up anywhere where I could study their drinks to decide what I wanted. I had to decide the minute I got to the register because that was the only place where they had a menu! The double layer chocolate cream cake was good but the purple cream puff was not my favorite....tasted a bit like matcha cream which is usually a bit too chalky for my liking. One thing I did love was the clear/transparent cake boxes they had for people who bought whole cakes....so nice to be able to see the cute designs of the cakes! read more

Everything is as pretty in person as it appears online! The Taro Vanilla cake nails the "sweet but not too sweet" flavor. Very natural, I would say, and tasty. It is nearly $10, but as I was eating it, it did feel larger than I had anticipated, so I wouldn't mind getting it again or trying another flavor. The Hot White Peach Oolong Tea is a light drink as well. I wish it stays warmer for longer though. The ice definitely cools it all down, but I'm not sure if that's my ordering mistake. The cafe ambience is perfect for a study session or friend catch-up during my Sunday evening visit. The service isn't the most hospitable during my time and the main, if not the only, reason I'm not rating 5 stars. read more

Sweet cake is a very clean and nice cafe. They have big clean tables and also tons of outlets. The girl who helped me was super nice and attentive. She did not rush me and let me explore. It wasn't busy at all, but she was very welcoming. Prices are decent and desserts are delicious. I took off one star because the cake fell apart in transport. The cake is mostly soft cream so it's very easy to fall apart. I loved the way they boxed the cake. Maybe next time I get different cake that's not as delicate. The cake was very good. Their desserts are beautiful and tasty. Not very sweet which I prefer. The creampuff wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The filling tasted more like taro filling than ube. The shell was crunchy but tasteless. Next time I'll probably try their other cakes. read more

I stopped by here on a Saturday evening at around 7 pm and I was absolutely charmed by the place! It was very spacious and quiet, with a few people studying and some chatting. I was greeted by a sweet lady behind the counter and took a look at all the cakes and pastries, which were all very aesthetic and had unique flavors! I bought a sesame basque burnt cheesecake ($~11) and a strawberry yakult cheesecake (~$11). Since I bought two cakes, I was able to get a free smoothie, so I ordered the mango yakult smoothie. I took these all to-go and they provided the cutest bag, which both cakes packaged individually and securely. I tried both cakes when I got home, and really enjoyed the flavors of both! I liked the sesame cream and the mochi bites on the sesame basque cheesecake. The strawberry of the strawberry yakult cheesecake was fresh, and the cake itself was very light, not too sweet. The mango yakult smoothie was also delicious, though it was more of a slush than a smoothie since it was pretty icy. I saw they had an ube cream puff but it was sold out when i was there, so I plan on come back another time to try it! Plus, it seems like a sweet study spot with lots of space and outlets. read more

I was trying to look for a dessert spot, and I saw this. Sweet Cake offers Asian-inspired pastries and drinks, including cheesecakes and bubble tea.

Whether you're hanging with friends or on a date, this is the spot for delicious desserts. read more

Space wise is relatively big for a cafe in Flushing. About three blocks from Main Street/7 train (still not too far away) to say the least. Right across the street from Flushing Town Hall. Best of all, it's a very short walking distance for me from my home to Sweet Cake. Staff will immediately greet you as soon as you've walked through the door. That fridge display of vibrant cakes and delicious cream puffs is just so mesmerizing to look at, wondering to yourself what you should order and chow down. Has quite a lot of seats in the seating area on the side and towards the back where there lies a very clean (I mean spotless restroom) for customers to use. Love that there're plenty of outlets to charge your phones/devices either underneath the seats or on the wall. Ambiance wise is very warm and homey like an outdoor patio with wooden seats and tables. You order at the front and then they call the # on your receipt, sometimes the staff might even bring you the tray of treats to where you're sitting. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. You can sit for hours without being worried that you'll be shooed away. Extremely fast service from very friendly staff. They accept Apple Pay besides credit/debit card and cash. Price wise ranges from moderate to expensive depending on what you decide to get like a sliced or whole cake. I have ordered an iced brown sugar boba milk tea (tried asking for no ice to get my money's worth but then staff said it would have been just milk foam....so no, you can only get it with less ice if you really don't like ice in your drinks...epic fail). Accidentally forgot to adjust the level of sweetness while looking at the delicious cake display, so turns out that I've ordered it with 100% sugar instead of half the amount in the end. It is in a huge plastic disposable cup though, so at least you'll get lots of sips out of the drink. Even without full sugar but because there's the brown sugar syrup, I think it's already sweet enough. I'll have to remember to adjust the sugar along with the ice level when I go back next time. Love their qq-textured boba, it's been cooked to just the right amount of chewiness (not too hard and not too soft or slimy). Also got an ube brown sugar mochi cream puff and a sesame earl grey chiffon sliced cake. Moving on to the taste test, the crust pastry of the cream puff is far too soft for me. In other words, it crumbles up way too easily imo. I didn't even use a lot of pressure (just by holding it gently) and the crust already cracks/falls apart. Therefore, I think it would be a good thing to improve on the texture of the outer crust. However, I truly admire the rich and creamy but not heavy ube filling of the brown sugar cream puff. Additionally, it's not overly sweet either which is a huge plus. The sprinkling of the tiny mochi pieces have added the perfect final touches to the cream puff like a cherry + icing on top. Other than the crumbling texture, everything is great on its own. As for the rectangular sesame earl grey chiffon sliced cake, there's a lot of aromatic sesame flavor in between each of the evenly-layered sesame cream filling. You can see that they've also added edible gold flakes as decor + as the highlight on top of the cake. It's not very overwhelmingly sweet unlike the desserts from typical American bakeries. I feel like all the sweet treats from Sweet Cake would be great to pair off with a cup of coffee for a quick treat, as desserts or for a cheat day breakfast. I mean, you gotta treat yourself once in a while lol. Can totally see myself going back to this cafe more often now from time to time whenever I'm not off to Manhattan and staying in the Flushing area. Sweet Cake is certainly a hidden gem! The sweets are creative, delicious, and visually stunning. Plus, their desserts have that perfect balance of flavors. Definitely a great spot to satisfy your sweet tooth! Until next time! read more

Stopped in for a new year's cake and they had so many to choose from that I was actually overwhelmed. I thought they would have a whole cheesecake with unique flavors but I didnt see any. I opt to get the taro cake. The cake was nicely packaged and came with a cutlery kit. Surprisingly. the cake was very moist and tasty with gold flakes too!. The taro did not taste artificial at all and it actually had chunks of taro. I also liked that it was not too sweet. I will definitely go back and try the black sesame and earl grey cake. read more

I stopped by here on a Friday night around 7pm and it was quiet but very comfortable -- this place has a bomb korean chill playlist going on that I'm enjoying while eating my black sesame basque burnt cheesecake and drinking the jasmine green tea that I ordered. The staff are nice and service was quick. As for the food, the burnt cheesecake is pretty good but not my favorite out of other cheesecakes I've had. However, it's very unique and every bite has a different type of flavor (not only black sesame) and it's been interesting to eat! The jasmine green tea is yummy- I got it hot b/c I wanted something to warm me up, and with sugar at 70% (but 50% probably would've been better for my tastes). There's outlets all over this place and if I lived nearby, it'd be a great place to get together with friends or to do some work from home. Overall a nice vibe from this cafe, and I'd come again if I was in the area! read more

Stopped by Sweet Cake to work and get some dessert after our lunch. The cafe was quiet, spacious, and clean. We ordered their sesame cheesecake and sesame Boba cream puff and it totaled to around $17. The desserts were super unique, infusing asian flavors like sesame and ube. Presentation was nice and service was prompt. We preferred the cream puff over the cheesecake since it was less sweet. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by Sweet Cake for dessert and studying with friends. There are outlets stationed under each table, making it easy to charge while studying. Absolutely a hidden gem of a cafe. read more

Despite its name, the desserts here aren't very sweet which can be a good or bad thing depending on your personal preference. We came around the end of the day on a weekend and it was pretty empty besides one table. We ordered the ube cream puff and slice of ube cake which was nicely presented. For the cream puff, I was pleasantly surprised that the choux was still crisp, but both the puff and cake lacked actual ube flavor. I would come back and give the other desserts a try and revisit the ube later on. If you're dining in, their tray return is hidden out of sight near where the restroom is. Note: They have a $10 credit card minimum. read more

This is a lovely dessert shop with cute Taiwanese style desserts. The staff were friendly and the service was good. We ordered a sesame Boba cream puff ($5.50), strawberry yakult cheesecake ($11.99 - pricey), Taro cheesecake ($8.25) and mango yakult smoothie ($7.25). The desserts weren't overly sweet, which I liked. The only thing I would say is that they were pricey. It's a nice treat to have one in a while. This dessert spot was a 7 minute walk from the restaurant we dined at last Thursday. Thank God for that because after we left this dessert spot, it started pouring and we ran to the car. Lastly, I heard they will be opening a second location in Manhattan soon. I'm looking forward to checking it out. read more

Sweet Cake has been on my radar since its opening, and now I regret not trying this spot earlier. ＊ Sesame Earl Grey Chiffon Cake The sesame flavor really stood out, while you can still taste the earl grey glaze on top throughout every bite. Even though the pricing is aggressive comparing to other bakeries, the slice was so huge that we were already stuffed after eating this cake. ＊ Mixed Fruit Sparkling, Orange and Pineapple Smoothie Don't sleep on their drinks! We were amazed by the refreshing and natural sweetness of fruits. The smoothie had a great balance of orange and pineapple juice. I was sure that they used real fruits because I could drink orange seeds and peels lol. Remember to ask for less sugar! ＊ Strawberry Yakult Cheesecake The cake looked cute and aesthetic. The outside seemed to be simply whipped cream, and the inner was blueberry cheesecake. Perhaps I'm not a fan of cheesecake, I found it quite bland and lacked excitement. The yakult flavor could be tasted in the cream layers but nearly invisible. If they charged $11.99 I wish they could put more strawberries in it. ＊ Ube Mooncake, Cheese Mooncake, Pineapple Cakes We were excited to redeem two pineapple cakes (鳳梨酥). Their owner even treated us extra free ube and cheese mooncakes! I really enjoyed the ube mooncake as it has sweet potato filling sandwiched in between. read more

A decent bakery off the beaten path of Main St. They have a lot of tea, cakes, and pastries to offer. Recently, they blew up on TikTok for the Sesame Boba Cream Puff! I came here late night after dinner and the owner was nice enough to tell us a little bit about the menu. This is what we ordered: + Lychee Green Tea Cheesecake (3/5): This was okay. It tasted similar to an elevated Uncle Tetsu cheesecake, but the lychee and green tea didn't come through in flavor. It was very muted and subtle in taste. I did enjoy the texture though! + Strawberry Moment (4/5): The layers! The flavor! Strong fresh strawberry taste! This was a great slice of cake. Classic combination of strawberries and cream. You really can't go wrong. read more

Quick stop here as we were getting groceries for Christmas day. This was a spot that I had marked down after hearing about it from a friend. We didn't get too much, but we got a milk tea and a black coffee, as well as some pineapple cakes. The service was quick, and the workers were really attentive and answered our questions. The cakes were a gift, so I can't speak to their flavor, but the milk tea was delicious. It had great tea flavor, something that I find so lacking at many other milk tea spots, and they were true to keeping the sugar and ice levels at my preferred choices. The black coffee was really strong, which was coming from someone who regularly drinks multiple black coffees a day, so that's something to keep in mind. Overall, I like this spot and definitely want to come for the desserts! read more

Sweet Cake is a cute dessert cafe in Flushing, Queens, known for its delectable selection of Asian-inspired drinks, cakes, and pastries. We came on a rainy Memorial Monday for their cheesecakes, though, sadly, their cake display was more empty than full. * Ube Brown Sugar Mochi Puff $5.50 I haven't had a cream puff in forever and this sounded really good. I don't know why I thought there would be brown sugar mochi inside, but there wasn't. Either way, it was delicious. The crust was thin, crispy, and crumbly, the mochi soft and chewy, and the cream puff was filled to the brim with light and airy ube cream. Best of all, the ube cream was rich and creamy, yet not at all heavy. * Strawberry Yakult Cheesecake $11.99 If I'm gonna be honest, if there was any Yakult, we sure as hell didn't taste it. That said, the cake was cute and aesthetic. The cheesecake itself seemed to resemble a classic New York-style cheesecake-- with a buttery graham cracker base, rich cream cheese filling, and sweet blueberry jam. Meanwhile, the whipped cream, strawberries, and edible gold leaf appeared to be more for decoration than anything, but I loved the minimalistic touch. * Mixed Berry Smoothie $7.75 * Lychee Yakult $6.25 I didn't try any, but my sister and my partner both agreed that their drinks were fruity and refreshing, albeit a bit too sweet. They did ask for no sugar and half sugar, respectively, though, so maybe ask for even less? read more

If you happen to be walking around near Northern boulevard there is a nice little dessert shop across from the town hall. They specialize in different cakes. The cafe itself has only a few tables that mostly fit around 4 people though the seating will allow for 1 or two more if you want to squeeze in with a large group. However this cafe is mostly frequented by old people drinking their coffee. The cakes that I have tried feature half cheesecakes and cakes like a duo if you wish to call it. The cakes are slightly denser to support both types of cake yet very soft. The frosting is not too sweet and the cakes are not overly frosted. We tried the strawberry and the mango ones and you can tell they use fresh fruits. It comes in a cute box if you do take out and want your cake to go. They also have assorted baked goods on the counter you can also purchase to bring home. The best course of action when coming here is to order a bunch of different slices and share so you can try all of the flavors. It is also pretty quiet here if you want to do some work and not as much foot traffic so you could stay here awhile. read more

Sweet Cake is a cute bakery in Flushing. They have a selection of not-too-sweet, aesthetically pleasing cakes with Asian flavors. They have a really high rating on Google Maps (5 stars and over 500 reviews at the time of this review), and after visiting I can see why: There are signs throughout the store advertising a free gift in exchange for a 5 star Google review. I tried two items, and while they were nice (especially for fans of black sesame) they were nothing to write home about. For the quality, the cheesecake was a bit overpriced, and their "free gift for 5 stars" signs really dampened my enthusiasm. I tried: -Sesame Double Layer Cheesecake ($7.99) - quite light and fluffy upper layer. It's more like a cream cheese mousse than a cheesecake. The bottom layer has a strong sesame flavor. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. It seemed $1-2 overpriced though, especially for the size. -Sesame Boba Cream Puff ($5.25) - I liked that it wasn't too sweet, but I preferred the black sesame cheesecake. The sesame flavor in the cream puff filling is pretty strong, which I liked. The choux itself was ok in my opinion; it reminded me of Chinese almond cookies. The boba they added on top (after order) wasn't sweetened and had a good texture. Service is really friendly, and the shop is clean and has a nice ambience---it would be a great place to work or to hang out with friends. read more

I came here hoping to try the sesame flavoured cream puffs with boba topping because of all the reviews, but because I came here around 7 pm on a Sunday night (1 hr before closing), of course, they had run out. So, not wanting to waste a trip, I ordered a ruby red milk tea with boba and matcha strawberry cake. The bill came out to a total of ~$16. The milk tea tasted as good as other boba tea stores in the area and is reasonably priced at $6 + $0.50 for extra toppings. The cake is decent. It is aesthetically pleasing, but I'm not fond of the taste. While enjoying my dessert in the cafe, someone (baker?/owner?) came by and offered me half of a croissant (new product?/extra product not wanting to sell tomorrow?) for free. It was interesting tasting and also very kind of them to do that. It seemed to be either a strawberry or raspberry glazed croissant. Sorry I can't tell the difference as the taste was very subtle. In terms of vibe, it's a very nice well lit place with some kpop as background music. The staff won't try to push you out so you can relax and do what you want there, whether that be working on a project or chilling with friends. Hopefully, I get to try their sesame flavored cream puff with boba topping next time. read more
