We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

A friend told me about Du Bois' black forest cake many years ago and it was good. I got reminded…read moreabout this bakery recently so dropped by one day, got a pecan pastry and inquired about cakes. They have no website/price list but the gentleman there gave me his card and said he can give info upon inquiry (though seeing a list of cake flavors, fillings, prices would be easier for me when ordering). He did say 7" cakes are $21. By the following week, I needed a cake and ordered by phone a Strawberry shortcake - 8" $38, good for up to 14 people...great price. The next size at 10" is $70+. The icing was not too sweet, and the cake/decor reminded me of 90s cakes, which we didn't mind. We liked that the cake was soaked in the strawberry flavor plus the fresh strawberries in the filling (we compared to a couple of other bakery's SS cake - where the strawberry can be tasted in the filling but not really in the cake by itself. The other cakes were more fine in texture though).

They have all usual items - bubble tea, sponge cakes, steamed buns, egg tarts, premade sandwiches, and more. I've had a few items from here and they were all fresh at reasonable prices. I prefer the larger Fay Da bakery chain, which has a much larger overall selection of baked goods. However, I will admit that Rainbow excels at offering non-bakery items. You can get congee, rice noodle rolls, and even a bunch of dim sum items (dumplings, beef balls, siu mai, etc.). You can easily pickup a lunch or dinner from here.

We ordered an ube cake for my grandniece's, niece's & sister's birthday and it was ready for pick up when we arrived except for the "Happy Birthday" which they quickly put on in icing. Location on Queens Blvd is pretty convenient with metered parking in front and free on Sundays.

Soft, fluffy ube chiffon, rolled clean like it trained for this, packed with ube whipped cream. Zero cracks. Zero mercy. Then came the mochi donuts. Pineapple Mochinut -- first bite screams PINEAPPLE. Soft, slightly chewy, creamy frosting, dangerously good. Chocolate Mochi Donut -- solid, rich, did not disappoint. Didn't stop there because I have no self-control: Berry marble cheesecake -- straight-up irresistible. Mille-feuille (Napoleon) -- aka "a thousand layers of don't ask questions." Flaky, buttery, rich... this was the victory lap dessert. Coffee? Top tier. Staff? Attentive, locked in, took care of business. Came for donuts. Left emotionally satisfied. Real men eat dessert.

What really caught my eye was the ham, American cheese on a croissant bread that they carry. There was a hint of spice that got my attention. Didn't know it was spicy until I bit into it. Really tasty and loved how the cheese melted in my mouth with the ham. Going to get more of these! There are many chairs and tables in this location and bright lights so it's a good place to catch up for coffee and pastries! Bathrooms are available here. Very quiet ambience.

But turn the menu over, and you'll find that they're probably the best Indonesian restaurant in Queens right now. The food is excellent and fresh, the service is friendly, and the place is clean and relaxing--a trifecta that is not easy to find. On our last visit, we tried the Smashed/Penyetan tofu and tempeh, which were perfectly prepared and seasoned. You know a chef knows what they're doing when the deep-fried dishes aren't at all greasy or oily. We also had the Indonesian/Malay classic Char Kwe Tiau, a rice-noodle dish, and their Hainan Chicken. We've also enjoyed their Seafood Gravy Noodle, which is much better than what you can find at Tastes Good; the Batagor--fried tofu and fish dumplings served with peanut sauce; and their excellent Gado Gado salad. Their chili sauces and kecap manis appear homemade and are top-notch. This place is a gem!
