This bakery is really good! I think they're Chinese?, not Korean, although there may be a lot of Korean influences. The price point is a little higher than other Chinese bakeries in the area, but the portion size is bigger and the quality and freshness is also really good. I feel like the ingredients are higher quality, and the flavors of breads and pastries are unique. Recommendations: - Pumpkin-filled Bao, with a surprise little bottle of mochi inside. The bread feels a little healthier (has more structure), and not like the high-gluten flour versions at other bakeries. - Black Sesame Mochi Bread: I think this is gluten-free, me with rice and tapioca flour. Featured on a local foodies, social media, I can see why she recommended it. - Salted egg Taro Bao: didn't know what to expect, but also very good and comforting. The mashed taro inside tastes homemade & the bit of salted egg made for a nice contrast. - there's the viral pressed croissants, croissant rolls, pineapple & red bean buns, black rice filled buns; multi-grain rolls. So many options to try. - I did buy the croissant shell egg tarts. They were good, but I originally wanted N-isnow egg tarts (sold out) & these weren't as good as them. I think the filling is not that soft (Macaunese-style). - at the counter there's big slices of cake. Saw Durian mille fuelle cake. Seasonal pumpkin latte. Nice branding and well-designed clear bags. The shop is minimal and modern with a few tables and counter seats. Gets pretty busy because of its location on the corner. One complaint is that the staff at the counter seemed very young/immature. Kind of a hanging out attitude & less hospitality-focused. I'm also not sure, but I feel like some of the guys pretend like they can't speak English to make the cash transaction confusing...I can kind of tell.
the garlic ham and cheese is to die for. as well as the corn and ham. all of the pastries i have tried so far have been so fresh and delicious i can't wait to come back after leaving each time.
Needed to get some snacks for a flight and came across Barley Time. The store was spacious, clean, and modern looking. There was a good variety of bread, pastry, and cake to choose from. They also serve drinks. Bought a Corn and Ham, Garlic Ham and Cheese, Crispy Chicken, and Cream Bun. Everything was tasty and fresh. Prices were reasonable. Checking out was efficient, employees were friendly and helpful.
A favorite staple when in the area. Lots of variety, though selection winds down later in the day. Mix of savory and sweet items, but mostly sweet. Less sweet options include purple yam walnut, multigrain, and black sesame. Staff is very hit or miss but not a major issue just checking out at the register.
A small bakery on the corner of Prince Street that's adjacent to the Tangram Mall and across the street from Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. Pretty close to the 7 train. Looks neat and clean when I first go inside. They seem to have a smaller selection of bread and pastries compared to other bakeries in the area. Concept of their bread: it's supposed to be healthier which I do agree because it does taste like not as sweet. Some variety of cake and desserts like the jiggly bear pudding in the glass display cases along with hot/iced drinks (e.g. coffee or fruit teas) to be ordered and made from the LED menu screens. Not much of a line when you go up to pay. Takes both cash and card. Service from staff is alright, but not rude or impatient. They speak mainly Chinese and understand some English. Not much ambiance to feast your eyes on, just your usual standard space with few tables & chairs for customers to sit while eating your baked goods. Definitely a grab-and-go eatery for the most part. Price range is similar to 85° Degrees inside Tangram but less expensive than Paris Baguette. I like how the size of their bread is typically bigger than my face for the price. Bought the following: 1) Oreo Cream Bread 2) Regular Cream Bread 3) Fried Chicken Sandwich Bun 4) Coffee Walnut Bread Oreo Cream Bread (5/5) Overall doesn't taste too sweet even though it's chocolate flavored. Bread texture is very fluffy and soft. Half softened oreo cookies are stacked on the cream in between of the bread as garnish. Regular Cream Bread (5/5) Longish piece of bread with lightly-whipped cream in the center. Doesn't taste too sweet like the Oreo Cream Bread. Good pairing with a cup of coffee. Fried Chicken Sandwich Bun (2.5/5) Chicken is too flimsy and soggy in texture - not crispy & not savory anymore due to being sandwiched in between of the bun for a long period of time. Can't really tell that it's fried chicken either unless comparing it to a pic from online. Coffee Walnut Bread (4/5) Has subtle aroma and flavor of coffee with diced walnut as garnish on top. Taste wise is very pleasant without too much sweetness in general. Would buy any of these breads again with the exception of the chicken option.
This bakery is situated on one of the busiest corners in Flushing on Prince Street where my memories of 66 Taiwanese Restaurant use to reside. It had been several other establishments in between, but now providing baked goods, pastries and beverages for the young crowds living or visiting the area. Due to its prime location, I assume the rent is extremely high. Unfortunately, that is reflected in their pricing, which makes their products on the high end for bakeries in Flushing. The quality is not bad. Everything I had so far was decent. With that said, when I pay their level of prices, I want top notch quality. Comparatively speaking, I prefer 85 Degrees just down the block at similar prices, or Apollo one block in the other direction for cheaper options. Pro Tip: Right before they close nightly at 10:00pm, they have a mystery bag of 5 random items for $6. I have purchased this a couple of times and felt that the deal is well worth it. This deal is now the main reason I still come back to this bakery.
Plenty of baked goods, single slice cakes and drinks! I got the strawberry bread that was shaped as a teddy bear, it was good! Wish we came earlier as they ran out of full sized croissants. Dropping a star because the cashier was a bit aggressive. I barely saw the second cashier as he was hiding behind the signs and the way he tried to grab my attention was kind of rude. He yelled "next" and when I didn't hear him, his coworker yelled it a few times. There could have been a gentler way to go about it. I am sure I am not the only one mesmerized by the glass display while awaiting to be checked out.
It's a small bakery, but it has plenty of variety of breads. Towards the end of the day they start running out quickly. Honestly, the meat breads are pretty good as it has a decent amount of meat to bread ratio for a bakery. I like getting the meat floss breads because I feel like the cream sauce that they have in it goes really well with the meat floss.
Passing through Flushing always gives me heart palpitations. If I want to grab a quick coffee I have to hope there is a parking spot. Otherwise, hasta la vista baby. Luckily, the stars aligned and I found a parking spot next to Barley Time. This is a cute bakery! I walk and I see some unique looking pastries. I decide on a bag of delicate sesame cookies and order a Brown Sugar Boba Tea. The service was quick and efficient. I had my drink, walked back to my car and all is right with the world. Barley Time looks like a popular spot, it was pretty packed during lunchtime.
So many delicious bread choices! They definitely have some bread, we ended up not getting any but everything looked good! Got a grapefruit tea and a rose latte and both were delicious. The tea had great flavor and used real fruit and the rose latte was perfect. It was pretty busy so it took a while for my latte. It's super cute inside too and there's seating if you want to stay and eat your breads. They also have the most beautiful cakes! Really want to try next time!
Motivated by seeing this new-ish storefront, I curiously entered the store on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm and was pleasantly surprised at the breadth of bread, pastry and cake offerings and their bright, clean setup. Being a Chinese bakery their flavors for pastries, breads and fillings leaned Asian, like matcha, red bean, sesame, chestnut, rose, taro and variations of these with cheese. Of course there were also items with coffee, cream, bacon, and more Western profiles. I picked up a "pull-apart bread" $4.25 (that was the label on the tray), and a chopped pecan pineapple-style bun (it had a layer of tender craquelin - as the French call it - on top, no actual pineapple). I was very impressed by the light lamination on the pull apart bread--the top was brushed with a very light coating of sugar syrup, a perfect amount to add a tinge of sweetness while still allowing you to taste the savory butteriness of the bread itself. The pecan pastry $3.75 was lovely too, again a balanced light amount of sweetness, a nicely developed rise of the dough inside, and just buttery enough. Good value for the quality. The bakery is small with only a handful of seats right inside the entrance to the left. Checkout counter is up a couple stairs to the right, above which the menu for drinks and other items are displayed. Also located at the counter in the display case are cakes and some chilled dessert selections. They carried items like mousse and tiramisu, roll cakes, cheesecake and larger cakes (complete or by the slice). The presentation is competitive with other newer Asian bakeries in the area. Would love to come back and try some other items!
Great bakery with similar items as other asian bakeries but more creative combinations/flavours: Matcha, Taro, Coconut, Redbean, Strawberry cream, Custards, Nuts, Garlic, Cheese, Hot dogs, Chicken Sandwich, Pork Floss (Rou Song) Price Ranges from about $2.50-$7.00? for bread-type items. Accepts credit cards, no cash discounts. Would come back =D
During my last visit for pastries, Barley Time was pretty disappointing. So, naturally, I was hesitant to give it another go. But there I was, in Flushing early in the morning with slim pickings (everything else was closed, of course). With limited options, I thought, why not dive into their drinks menu? I took a chance on their Large Cheese Foam Peach Oolong Tea and snagged a passionfruit drink (or dessert) from their open fridge (it looked lonely and in need of a home). To my delight, the Oolong Tea was surprisingly good - not too sweet, with a cheese foam layer that was generous enough to make a dairy farmer proud. The drink was delicious and far cheaper than the exorbitant offerings at Song Tea ($8 for a large). My Barley Time beverage was a mere $5.75 a bargain in comparison. The only negative was their Apple Pay policy - you need to spend a minimum of $10 to use it (I suppose they think my money isn't good enough unless I part with more of it). But, hey, not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. In the future, I'll likely return to Barley Time for drinks since I did enjoy this one. Keeping it a 3 out of 5 stars taking into consideration both the pastries and the drinks.

Barley Time is a Flushing bakery and café that focuses on a mix of pastries, bread items, and tea based drinks, set up more like a quick stop bakery where I pick from display cases rather than a sit down space. I walked into a straightforward layout with shelves of baked goods and a drink counter that stayed busy throughout the day. The croissant style pastries and the egg tart were some of the more commonly ordered items. I tried the croissant egg tart, which stood out as a flaky option that leaned more crisp than soft. Pork floss bread and savory buns are part of the heavier side of the menu, while items like matcha mochi bread and cream based buns lean sweeter and softer in texture. Drinks like rose latte and other milk teas are also available, keeping it closer to a hybrid bakery café setup. I noticed some items felt lighter and fresh out of the case, while others varied more in texture depending on timing. Service at this location was inconsistent. My visit was quick and straightforward, but I have heard from others that some visits involve longer waits or issues with order handling, especially during busy periods. The space itself is functional rather than designed for sitting and lingering, and the focus is more on turnover and takeout orders than extended dining. Pricing sits in line with other Flushing bakeries in the area, with a wide enough selection that people tend to come for specific items rather than a full menu experience. Overall, Barley Time is a convenient Flushing stop if I am looking for a mix of pastries and drinks in one place, especially if I am picking up quick baked items like egg tarts, croissant based pastries, or sweet breads to go. read more

Teddy bear bread for $2.95! Teddy bears are my best friend. After reading the reviews I was lured to attain this bear bread. I scanned the bakery glass encasement and there were many baos and sandwiches. Barley Time baked goods make a good breakfast or before bedtime snack. I did not see any traditional Chinese Cha siu bao 叉燒包, caa1 siu1 baau1 as it is my default bao. However, this visit was specifically not caa1 siu1 baau1. I also hoped for green tea filling buns. My eyes was affixed to the coveted bear bread and it was very enticing. It was very adorably cute that I could not bear to eat it. The bear bread taste good with a strawberry cream filling. The bear bread was intact when bitten. No comment for their boba tea as I did not purchase any. I would surely return for another bear bread and fruit tea with my default topping Chinese herbal grass jelly 涼粉 (loeng4 fan2, liang2 fen3). Customer service is average. I had to request several times for a measly sales receipt which, at first, went to oblivion. Take caution when approaching the cashier as there are steps. The interior is very bright. Barley Time is very assessable via MTA NYC Transit buses and 7 train in Flushing, Queens, NYC. read more
The past two times I've been by, this café bakery has been quite busy which I think is nice. This means the pastries aren't sitting long on the shelf and are fresher. Barley Time is a Chinese bakery that opened last week. This is their second location and the first in Queens. The inside feels spacious with lots of light coming in from the windows. The layout though is kind of odd. The registers and counter for ordering drinks is located up some small steps. So very odd and not very accessible to those in wheelchairs or with strollers. There's a lot of variety of pastries (both sweet and savory) and bread sold here. Some are familiar and some are new to me. Every single pastry that I saw in the counters were individually wrapped and had signage with prices listed in both English and Chinese. I really appreciated this and found it very helpful. We ordered a couple of taro breads, a strawberry bread shaped like a bear and tiny cookies with sunflower seeds. Like with most Asian bakeries, the pastries weren't too sweet. And everything tasted freshly made. They had some very cute looking cakes and a huge menu of drinks. I'll have to try them next time. read more
Cute busy bakery with pretty pastries and desserts. Saw this flat croissant and thought so interesting, really convenient to eat! It wasn't as crispy as regular croissants but flavor is good. Customer service is okay, they were busy so trying to rush but when I was paying my Apple Pay, it wasn't registering on their tap so took some time. read more
This was my first time trying their bread. I got garlic bacon, chicken, ham, lettuce sushi. They were a bit oily in my opinion, but the taste was good. I ate it the next day with my family. The service at the little bakery was okay. During the time I went, it was not too busy. This store is by the corner street, the same block as Tangram Mall. read more

More pricey than other Asian pastry bakeries in Flushing BUT it's worth it!! Hear me out, I haven't found a bakery that sells taro mochi croissants, taro egg custard buns, and taro purple rice (my favorite I tried). They were all so so good, will definitely come back again! FYI $10 credit card minimum read more
New bakery in flushing, stopped by to try some bread and thought they were just ok, the garlic flavored ones are good and the mocha cream. Others were skippable. The pink rose one looked pretty but having boba/tapioca inside felt a bit wired. Interesting to try but I probably won't be back again in the short term. read more
One of the newer bakeries in Flushing. It's a small spot but has some seating area around. I enjoyed their rice flour goods, they were perfectly chewy and I enjoy that texture. I found the red bean filling in the green tea bun with mochi and red bean filling, a little too sweet. Their mini, sweet croissants were the cutest and nice little sweet treat. read more

I am a major fan of this establishment: new and progressive Chinese bakery in downtown Flushing. They have solid pastries; a mix of new and traditional takes. I haven't tried all or most of the pastries so I cannot say if all are delicious but the ones I have tried were usually great. I usually head down here when I crave some small bites for the road and an occasional drink if I need the caffeine. They also sell many bubble tea options. I will agree with others that it's on the pricier end of the local bakeries that Flushing has to offer- most likely due to the location as they are located in the up and coming area of the downtown eats with newer, young businesses. The service is quick and accommodating with a bright clean interior. The trays could be better as they are clunky plastic giving the illusion of "cute" but it seems most customers opt to hold items in their hand and not use the available tongs to grab the pastries...!!! Highly recommend the matcha buns (cheese), pork floss cream buns, and ham and cheese croissant. Indoor dining and takeout available. No bathroom. Accepts cash, card and Applepay with a minimum of $10. Bon appetit! read more

This is currently my favorite bakery in Flushing. This is the second location-other one is located in Brooklyn. They have a good variety of unique pastries, buns and cakes. My daughter's favorite is the bear shaped bun with strawberry cream filling. Other recommendations- taro purple rice bun and matcha cheese bun. Buns and pastries prices vary from $1.75-$3.75. The only downside is the bakery is not stroller friendly. You have to go up a few steps to pay. read more

Had 2 parties and they were simply... phenomenal, one was taro yolk and one was black rice and creme. I could have had 5 of each. Too good read more
Soufflé roll - there was nothing soufflé about this... there's cream with some coconut powder on the outside. The bread is not soft but more on the dry side. Hazelnut cheese bread - more like a mochi texture on the bottom of the bread. Not exactly certain if this really tastes like hazelnut Haven't tried the chicken breads but overall it's very mediocre. Service was not there. No one was there to help but checkout process was fast. Ambiance - relatively clean and a lot of bread selection. There's a sitting area as well. 3/5 read more

I've been waiting forever for this bakery to open! The decor is quite nice but layout is inefficient as registers are up the steps. I have tried a few pasties from here and they were hit or miss. The four pack of egg tart was bland to me but the croissants were pretty good. Recently I ordered a DIY cake for my mothers's bday and it came out looking just like the picture from their catalog. It was definitely on the pricier end but they did have cakes in the display case for less. The layers of sponge cake were moist and the cream on the cake had a subtle milky flavor read more
