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.

The pastries and breads had a perfect texture, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every item. The staff was friendly and helpful, explaining the different options and making recommendations without being pushy. The bakery itself is clean and welcoming, making it a pleasant place to browse and enjoy treats. Overall, Shinpuru Baking delivers top-quality baked goods and excellent service. I'll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves fresh, tasty pastries.

The lemon tart was quiet nice. It was a good balance of tart, sour and sweet. I like the marshmallow fluff that was toasted on top of it. The raspberry madeline was a sweet butter cookie, crunchy on the edges with some parts being soft. It was okay. We also got tea.

I'm totally a fan! The Mango has a chocolate shell encasing mousse and mango sauce, with mango chunks inside. It's sweet and tangy, very refreshing, and delicious! Orange: A chocolate-coated orange cake with a mousse and jam filling, featuring large orange chunks. Like the mango, it has a sweet and sour flavor. Yuzu: An adorable flower-shaped grapefruit mousse cake. The flowers are made of cream, and the filling includes sweet and sour grapefruit mousse and guava jam. It comes with crispy rice crackers, creating a rich and delicious flavor. Coconut: A coconut mousse cake filled with passion fruit jam and a thin layer of pandan chiffon cake. It's topped with coconut flakes and a chocolate chip cookie , and a -shaped passion fruit jelly chocolate on top. The overall flavor is rich and creamy, perfectly complementing the refreshing passion fruit jam and cake. Every small cake is delicious, not too sweet, and perfect for Chinese tastes. I went around 3 or 4 pm, and they still had plenty of small cakes, constantly restocking. The prices are reasonable, with small cakes around $10 each.
