    Red velvet cake with chocolate whipped cream frosting.
    Luisa S.

    I am so happy that my friend suggested this bakery! The man who took my order was so patient and answered all of my questions. I ordered a red velvet cake with chocolate whipped cream frosting. The cake was fresh, light, airy and not too sweet. Will exclusively be ordering from this gem from now on.

    Cousin came home from AZ and wanted strawberry cake from DuBois, so here it is. Still great as always!

    I stopped by this bakery in Du Bois after hearing it's one of the oldest in Queens. It's a no-frills, old-school spot with real neighborhood roots. The guy behind the counter wasn't exactly friendly, but not rude, just very to the point, like someone who's been doing this forever. It's cash only and has a wide variety of baked goods. I got the strawberry shortcake (highly recommended) and a pound of baklava--both were fresh and delicious. Worth a visit if you're in the area and want something classic.

    I ordered a cake from here for my brother's birthday and I was extremely disappointed. I had tried their red velvet cake that a coworker had bought for the office and really enjoyed it but unfortunately did not have the same experience this time. When I first placed the order, the gentleman was very helpful and told me the cake would be ready the next day. When I called a couple of hours later to confirm the order and give them the writing I wanted on the cake, the person who picked up the phone was not friendly at all. He was actually quite rude. He said he did not see the order and he would call me later. Never received a call. Thankfully, the cake was ready at 5pm the next day. When I saw the cake, I did not like the decor at all; I didn't like the flowers and it looked like a sloppy job. The cake was $45 for 20-25 people which was pricey. Now, when it comes to the actual taste of the cake, it was nothing like I was expecting. I ordered a chocolate fudge cake; the cake was dry and flavorless and not fudgy at all. When I think of chocolate fudge cake, I expect a very moist cake with a lot of chocolate fudge. That was not at all what I got. Between the flavor of the cake, the cake presentation and the rude employee over the phone, I will not be ordering from here again.

    I had already eaten one piece before taking this pic of baklava. Good dessert - note the pieces are small. ended up being $7.50 for the box

    I stumbled upon this place after reading about it in the FB group "Eat Something New in Queens" and decided to try the baklava, which was good. This place has been operating since 1957 so it has old-school decor. This place is cash only. I tried the baklava and the chocolate stick. The baklava was good, the chocolate stick was a flaky, dry, crusty thing, so I wouldn't get that again. Apparently this place is known for its strawberry short cake, so I would come back and try that next time!

    I been coming here for decades and nothing has change. Their Pastora are great but my ultimate favorite is the coconut cake with whipped cream. When their is a special occasion I always crave this cake. This isn't a fancy bakery and just think old school. They don't take credit cards but I don't mind because their prices are amazing. For a medium size cake that feeds 10 people is $19, you can't beat those prices.

    My celebratory it's Friyay!!! strawberry shortcake.

    I have heard lots of good things about this bakery and their strawberry shortcake. Took an hour long subway ride there to purchase one and I can definitely say it did not disappoint. Rich creamy whipped cream (not overly sweet) throughout, moist vanilla cake and of course the yummy strawberries. Will be going back again to try their other offerings.

    I've only come here for the baklava and I really like that it's not too sweet. Sadly i feel like the recent times I've had it, it wasn't as great as my first few times. I feel like the bottoms are more soaked with syrup and the most recent time I had it, it would split in half really easily. But it still tastes pretty good. The man who works the counter always seems like he doesn't seem too happy to be working there, but it might be just how he is because the service feels very neutral. He isn't excited to to serve you but also doesn't seem to hate customers. I always get tempted to try other items but I can't resist the baklava when i see it so I always end up getting that. I also don't know what they have because sometimes they seem to have some things, but sometimes I don't see those items at all. I can't tell if they were sold out or they didn't make them that day. But overall, I would still come here for the baklava. They sell them by the pound but I think you would also be able to buy just a piece if asked. I am curious about their other baked goods so hopefully I can try it next time.

    I have frequented this small bakery for decades. Although the pastries aren't the most exciting the cakes are delish. Throughout the years, the strawberry shortcake is consistently good. Three tiers of light yellow cake with jammy filling and fresh whip cream frosting. This cake alone steals the show.

    Thought I'd give this place a try since I wanted to support more small businesses at this time. I called Sunday evening to ask about prices and how to order in advance, etc. The lady I spoke with was nice, told me that the standard 7" strawberry shortcake was $17, and it was $1 for writing and $1 for candles. Two days later, the afternoon before I needed the cake, I called to place the order for pick up the next day. The man I spoke with was abrupt. When I asked to include candles with my order he told me to get some at CVS. I picked up the cake the next day and it looked beautiful. There were piped roses along with the writing. The placement of some of the strawberries were questionable but overall it looked nice enough. In terms of taste, it was a little let down. I had high expectations from reading reviews about people saying it was the best strawberry shortcake they ever had but we thought it was simply mediocre. The cake was bland, the buttercream was delicious, but it was still too heavy. The strawberries didn't taste stale but they weren't fresh either. It tasted better on the second day we ate it. Gave 4 stars to give them the benefit of the doubt. PS. We got our candles from Fay Da (our usual go-to bakery; they include candles, a happy birthday topper, plates, and utensils with every cake order). They don't sell them but were nice enough to provide them to us.

    I love this shop. It is frequented by a lot of us Pakistanis because the owners are Turkish. The pastries are fresh and delicious. Cash only, with gruff service to boot.

    Their strawberry shortcake is amazing, not too sweet and very reasonably priced. Truly a hidden gem in our neighborhood.

I decided to try their Coconut Pandan cake which was enjoyable except for the jelly they had in the middle. The cake itself was pretty moist and the cream had a nice Pandan flavor. The Portuguese egg tart is what you would expect from one of these bakery's, very basic but it was nice and flaky. The milk tea was also okay, we asked for less sugar so it was not too sweet. We also got the sesame mochi to go and this was delicious! Definitely the best thing I bought from this bakery. The sesame paste was nice and strong but not too gritty and the mochi was super soft. I have to go back to grab another when I get the chance!

Not impressed with their chicken sandwiches for they were hard and there is tendon in one other chicken sandwich has area that was not edible. The quality definitely not what it use to be here. There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

Their hot milk tea is a cozy, comforting drink that warms the soul. Fay Da's milk tea may still hold the title for my favorite, but Yi Mei's version is a very close contender. The sponge cake? A pleasant surprise. Despite some folks claiming the bread isn't fresh, I've never really had a negative experience with them. But then again, I only get the sponge cake and I can't differentiate fresh vs not fresh between them (I'll just assume that if it's NOT fresh, I would have been able to tell). For ethnic places like Yi Mei, I don't put much weight on service standards. Comparing them to American restaurants would be like comparing apples to oranges. What truly matters is the authenticity and the food quality, and Yi Mei nails both. So, if you find yourself in the area with a rumbling stomach, swing by Yi Mei Bakery.
