The staff is nice, though a line can build up as there's just one person taking the orders. There's a few comfortable seats so you can enjoy your food there without having to take it to go. I find the vibe very chill and relaxed in here, and I almost always get a seat. Arnold Palmer was great and filled to the brim. The baguette with butter was delightful. This is a hidden gem amongst many overrated coffee shops in the area.

You know, we enjoyed both, but didn't get that "blown away" feeling. As far as the food goes, it was good, and we will likely try it again before finish soccer in that area. Service was very friendly and helpful, and the joint is cool! Neat swag if you're in the market. Very Lower East Side vibe. If you're in the area, give it a shot!

It has a modern coffee house aesthetic and feel to a Chinese bakery. I got the red bean bun. I was processed fairly quickly. The bun was okay. I've had better elsewhere but I'm willing to come back and try other items on their menu.

My coffee tasted good, the bun was just okay. I'm used to Almond twist buns to be a bit more buttery and flaky; this bakery makes their almond twist more bread-like. Maybe will give this bakery another try next and purchase something else instead.

Solid bakery - I cannot stay away from their mango nuomici (glutinous rice balls stuffed with…read moremango). It really achieves the perfect balance of the bouncy-to-soft-to-slippery jelly texture. I would say their nuomici are extra QQ for those of you who are in to this type of magical texture. Also, the taste is fantastic! It is one of the best nuomici I've had in Manhattan. Sometimes they fill the nuomici with a mango mousse which is delicious, but you'll know you won the nuomici lottery when your ball is stuffed with fresh, ripe mango! I think they do this when it's mango season or when they can get their hands on quality mangos. Don't listen to the reviews complaining about delivery services and boba. Those are silly things to expect from a bakery! As an aside, I'm not sure why a lot of Americans expect every Asian food establishment to offer American-style boba. This is an absurd expectation that does a huge disservice to the the culinary diversity of our city. **side eyes** If you come here, get the (very affordable) baked goods - buns, cakes, sweet treats and leave happy!

When I visit Chinatown, I love to grab a few of them to bring back home and heat up whenever I feel like eating it. The bread for the buns are always so fluffy and soft. The pork filling is savory, juicy, and full of flavor. The red bean paste is smooth and not too sweet. And prices are definitely affordable.

I'm happy that this place is so nice and clean, let's see how long that lasts. So far they have an A grade rating which I find refreshing in Chinatown. I went in the afternoon so the buns were no longer warm which I prefer. My favorite bakery down the street closed down (new territory bakery) the street this is second best!

There were no crumbs in their cases and no trash in the public area. The kitchen appears to be mostly metal paneling and the baker was scrubbing the floor. They also pre wrap many of their products in plastic. I'll come earlier to try their pork buns and I'll update my review. Ps. English is rarely spoken here so have some idea of what you want to try beforehand.

They also offer a variety of Asian breads and cookies. The milk teas and coffees are also basic but solid: no hip boba shop or cafe aesthetics here, but the drinks are cheap and get the job done. The gentleman I've encountered here is friendly and works through the line quickly. He's also taken the time to very patiently explain to me what a couple of the items are (some of the signs are in Mandarin). Duo Tian's location on Google Maps / Yelp makes it look like it's on Broome, but it's on Elridge just south of Shu Jiao Fu Zhou. I believe they're cash only, but may need to double check me on this.

Not much of a space to sit in and eat and more of a to-go type of a place. There was only one staff member on site, and she seemed a bit overwhelmed with keeping up with the orders. Unfortunately, we just had a meal, so we couldn't try out their Hong Kong-style egg waffles, triangle kimbabs, or their handmade dumplings, so maybe next time? +cute logo +okay drinks
