    Green tea mochi with green bean paste inside--so good!
    Kathleen S.

    Competition in the Chinese bakery market is stiff. The look and goods all seem similar, so how to distinguish between the bad, mediocre, and the good? I've been going to Chinese bakeries my whole life. While I haven't sampled everything at this establishment, I can say that Into-the-stratosphere-and-beyond-amazing are the mochi ball with green bean paste. The sticky rice is so fresh, soft, gooey, and smooth in consistency. To the extent that sticky rice can "melt," this nearly does it. The green bean paste in the middle is perfectly sweet and rich, without being overwhelming. The white mochi with crushed peanuts is good--same spectacular sticky rice--but with a hint of salty and sweet with the nuts. The other flavor offering is mango, which I have yet to try. These soft yet hefty babies are $1.25 each. The coconut pastry and red bean-swirled bun are also good, though less distinguished as the mochi balls. The date cake (nian gao) typically eaten during Chinese New Year was also solid. Prices are similar to other bakeries, but quality really stands out. There is another Dragon Bay bakery about two streets down around 56th Street on 7th Ave. Avoid this one. Similar prices and offerings, but not as fresh. You'll notice fewer patrons there--a sign of less popularity--and the scary B NYC Department of Health rating.

    10" sponge cake filled with pineapples. .

    This is my go to place for Chinese chiffon cake. I usually get it filled with all pineapple. I've had some of their baked goods but not many. Trying to watch the waistline...lol. The workers are nice. If I would need any baked goods or coffee from 8th ave, I would go to this store only, seeing that along 8th avenue, it's filled with Chinese bakeries.

    Ah!!!...the smell of delicious Chinese breads and desserts. I love that smell every time I walk into one. Dragon Bay Bakery is a chain bakery all over 8th avenue. Some people say its the best bakery in 8th avenue. I have to say it is a good bakery. Many breads, desserts, and drinks to choose from the menu. Pick anything that your heart chooses. Best of all.. it is CHEAP!!! Heart decided I wanted: 1. A small cup of hot milk tea. Good balance of milk and tea. Very satisfying drink to warm yourself. 2. A Fried Fish Fillet Bun. Maybe an ordinary fish fillet bun, but it sure is a tasty one. 3. A Char Sui Bun. Delicious roast pork. The sauce was great. 4. 2 Egg Tarts. The crust was soft and flaky. The custard was very smooth and silky. Great!!! Add that all up...$4.25. Barely broke the bank. Made my tummy all happy.

    Good coffee!

    My husband and I decided to explore the neighborhood after visiting a friend at Maimonides Hospital last Saturday. We walked several blocks and we wanted to try some of the local / authentic foods. After passing a few bakeries we finally decided to enter Dragon Bay Bakery. Their metallic park-bench like seating was filled with happy patrons when we took our seats. We tried a pork bun, a sweet bun with a pineapple like filling, a papaya drink and a coffee. All four were delicious and very fresh. The coffee was made very well without me making any specifications at all. The papaya drink was refreshing, though it took some time to get use to the gummy bear like berries at the bottom. Both buns were great! It was also cool sitting along side of strangers enjoying their foods, too. I like the family style seating. This is the first Chinese Bakery experience I have ever had and it was lovely. I would love to come back here and try more stuff. The staff were also very friendly and helpful to us when we were the only Latinos there. I really like the place.

    Stopped here for a snack and drink on a hot summer afternoon. Very glad that I did! I got a Vietnamese cold tea that was sweet, smooth, and very refreshing in the heat. I splurged and got a huge red bean pastry as well. The crust was buttery and flaky, and the red bean paste was addicting. Very cheap overall for a filling meal -$3.75. Will definitely be back to try more of their pastries and drinks!

    Ok so this is the kind of flakiness and sponginess and crust I'm talking about ! Nice !

    Bought the 3D bear cake. Yuck; coffee flavored cream. NOT FOR KIDS!!

    Ordered $188 bday cake for my daughter's 7 old birthday party. It is 3D bear cake. The cake is covered with coffee cream. Are you losing mind? put coffee cream on the child's cake??!!

    I do like some of the desserts here
    Stephanie C.

    I just lovegoing there to get my favorite pastries that was added recently. The coconut bun or lemon jam bun. I also love their tea.

    It is worst fired rice ball stuffed with pork I had ever had. Inside is pure pork fat and sprinkle dry little shrimp grrrr....!

    The PORK BUNS are awesome. They are sweet and flaky on the outside. There is plenty of pork on the inside and overall taste great.

    Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

    I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so…read morebusy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5
