Chinese egg cakes have always been a staple in my household growing up, and I think that when you have something so often it just drives you to become sick of it. That definitely was the case for me with these cakes, and I eventually just avoided them altogether. Nowadays egg cakes are purchased solely for my great grandmother, someone who requires soft foods and has also grown up with eating these cakes. I was so excited to get to try a new bakery -- such a notorious one at that and be able to allow my great grandmother to try some new flavors as well. Immediately when purchasing these cakes you can tell this isn't your standard Chinese bakery. The reason I grew sick of eating these cakes were because it was traditionally just one flavor, but Kam Hing thinks outside the box and has a variety of flavors to choose from! I couldn't help myself and purchased every one, along with an order of Vietnamese coffee to start my day. The flavors of each cake were amazing and definitely shined through with each different cake - there was no mistaking a cake for a different flavor than what it was. I loved the chocolate chip (as it's just the original with a sprinkle of small chocolate pieces) along with the pineapple. My family loved being able to try every flavor and it definitely excited them as it's not something they typically get to eat. The cakes were fresh, many of them warm straight from the oven as I arrived at 8am. The Vietnamese coffee was strong, just how I liked it. Staff speaks both Cantonese and English so it's easy for anyone to come in and place an order. Kam Hing is on my list of places to return to and surprise my family with some treats soon! read more

While the Elite experience only offered three sponge cakes, I ended up getting seven home haha because they were too delicious. My mom's a loyal regular here. I swear there's always sponge cakes from Kam Hing at home almost every week. Their sponge cakes are like a fluffy cloud, with a soft bounce and egg flavor. They are so light that you can easily devour a few without feeling heavy. The owners are the sweetest people on earth. We were told there was a fresh batch of the Original flavor, so of course we grabbed three right away. They were piping hot when we got them. The lightly browned crust was still crispy, while the cake was impossibly moist and soft. Best eaten within minutes! The owner said his personal favorite is Butterscotch, then he gave us one to try for free. Such a heartwarming experience:') I actually never tried their drinks until now--and omg, the green thai tea was a surprise hit! They gave me a less-sweet version without me even asking, and it was bursting with jasmine tea flavor. Definitely getting this again. read more

Upon walking in, the place is a bit shabby. However, the gentleman that assisted me was very pleasant. I asked a few questions about sponge came flavors, he took the time to answer. I chose the ube spongecake, pandan and had chosen the butterscotch. The last one got mixed up, recieved a green cake, maybe matcha or green tea. Ube was tasty, pandan was reminiscent of a butter loaf cake and I don't like green tea or matcha, so that last one not my thing. But all were fluffy and moist Yummm. I paired it with a lychee lemonade. :) one of my all time fave lemonades. Definitely want to go back and try some more flavors! Thank you Katey and Kam hing bakery, for this pleasant experience. read more

Kam Hing Bakery creates & sells specialty spongecakes as well as hot & cold beverages. This location is on Baxter & is a few minutes walk from the Canal St. W/R Train Station. Thanks to Yelp Manhattan & to Kam Hing for giving up Yelpers the opportunity to have some delicious treats. Liz was kind and greeted me w/ a warm smile upon my entering the establishment. Liz explained that 3 spongecakes and a cold beverage can be selected. Following Spongecakes on the memu: Original Strawberry Coconut Green Tea Chocolate Chip Ube Pandan Kam Hing also had a nice selection of coffee, tea, lemonade, etc. Liz explained the various cold drinks options to me including the different types of flavored teas & flavored lemonade drinks. I decided to get Strawberry, Ube & Pandan spongecakes and a Peach/Pineapple Lemonade. Kam Hing keeps the fresh lemons in the lemonade & Liz shared that the jams in the lemonade make them flavorfully sweet. The spongecakes melt in your mouth & taste wonderful...they were so good that I ate them before taking any pictures-lol. The Pineapple/Peach Lemonade was delicious and refreshing and quenched my thirst on the hot-weathered day. Kam Hing is open everyday from 7am-7:30pm. newkamhing.com @newkamhing read more

OMG!!! Absolutely Incredible!!! That is the description of my tastebuds as I took a bite of the pandan sponge cake! They are absolutely de-licious. The various flavors of sponge cake consists of; Original, Green tea, Strawberry, Coconut, Ube, Pandan, Butterscotch, Chocolate chip, and Mochachino. Ube is my favorite flavor in general. The Pandan was my overall favorite sponge cake. Where do I start... love that the sponge cake is perfectly flavored, and sweetened that gives each cake a perfect flavor without being overly sweet. The sponge cakes are fresh just as if they were baked in your Grandmother's kitchen. The coconut flavor sponge cake melts in your mouth, and compliments the coffee. As a coffee lover, I recommend the Viet coffee, very smooth, the texture is creamy, and on a hot summer day the Viet Iced Coffee is perfect. The atmosphere is relaxed, and great to sit to have sponge cake & coffee with a friend. Special thanks to Ms. Lucky who is very kind, and really makes the bakery special. Could not ask for a better experience. Tip: This is a very popular bakery, and flavored sponge cakes sell out quickly. Try to arrive early in the day. OMG!!! Absolutely Incredible!!!

Friendly and efficient service. They had all their flavors available on a Sunday late morning/early afternoon. Half their flavors seem to rotate. The Sponge Cakes all have a brown sugary sweetness, which may result in the boxier shape of the sponge cake compared to the traditional cup shape. The pieces all tore off easily and were light and airy. They also hold up well for a couple days (wrapped and refrigerated). I opted for: Pandan: decent pandan flavor. It has a more custardy mouthfeel. Matcha: toasty matcha flavor. the bitterness of the matcha is balanced by the sugary sweetness. Chocolate Chip: nice hint of sweetness from the mini chocolate chips studded throughout the cake. My favorite because the sweetness matched well together. The Viet Coffee not too sweet. It seems like it's milk not condensed milk, which I like. This also helps balance out the sweetness of the cakes. Big thanks to Katey, Yelp and Kam Hing Bakery for a generous event! read more

Yes, if you want more flavor options, you have to show up earlier than after work. The day I showed up day there were 5 flavors left (3 flavors were sold out): original, green tea, coconut, butterscotch, and cappuccino. The offer is 3 sponge cake and a drink. - I decided on 2 originals and tea with honey. Not a fan of cappuccino flavors, the butterscotch would be too sweet, and coconut is ok though prefer the original. - Tea with honey was great since it quench my thirst. This place never fails and is a staple in the Chinatown community. Thank you Katey, Yelp and Kam Hing for the opportunity! read more

What a hidden gem! Love how this place feels like it's been a neighborhood staple for decades. Also, where else can you find anything in NY for $1.50 now?! The sponge cake is so bouncy and fluffy, I adore the texture and it's not too sweet! The thai tea is also well made because it's not premade - that's how you can tell it's made with quali-tea. Can't wait to come back! read more

When I saw there was another elite week at Kam Hing, I got soooo excited. The team at Kam Hing was so so friendly and their sponge cakes are amazing! I went with a fellow YES so we shared bites and drinks. The Thai Coffee was so delightfully sweet and the hibiscus tea was very refreshing for a hot summer day. We got an "original" fresh out of the oven which we both agreed was definitely the move. We also got the last Butterscotch of the day which was a nice sweet flavor. Chocolate chip was fun too and I'm sure just as good as the original when it's freshly made. Honestly, all flavors were amazing! Big thanks to the team at Kam Hing for the generosity and to Katey/Yelp for coordinating! read more

I was kind of having a tough time looking for this because I thought the location changed for some reason. But knowing that I've been here before, I shouldn't be lost! I saw the sign that Kam Hing Bakery was downstairs because of the down arrow. Then I accidentally went inside an adult day care center and there was a flight of stairs to go down and I was shocked to not see the bakery there. Then I had to head back out and look for it. Then after a few minutes I finally found the exact location sitting inside 118 Baxter Street building in the lobby. This bakery is hiding in the building. The bakery itself has a lot of art work and posters all scattered around. It is a busy bakery and I remember going inside that the Sponge cakes were mostly sold out for most flavors. Original was still the only flavor standing. Today I asked for the strawberry, green tea, and Thai tea and amazingly they still had those flavors in stock. I guess I went there at noon so they got most flavors in stock. They got many tea options and drinks so I got a cold Thai tea. You can taste the Thai tea really well. It is somewhat bitter in this drink with the sugar. A nice bakery though for sponge cakes. I saw the kitchen making lots of sponge cakes sitting on the counter. They are so busy! Thank you Katey and Yelp for this experience. read more

Thank you Yelp for all these summer events!! Heard about Kam Hing before but never got to try until now. Their chiffon cakes are fluffy yet chewy and even better after reheating at home. The original is classic with the slighty sweet egg taste, and probably still is my favorite. The ube is a close second because of its strong flavors. The pandan unfortunately did not have much of a pandan aroma. The viet coffee was solid - sweet and strong. Staff were friendly. Menu was straightforward to navigate. I love the space with tables, chairs, and TV. It feels like a pseudo community center but lots of socializing and chilling amongst the older folks, but also a nice place to take a break for everyone else. Thanks again Kam Hing and Yelp!! read more

Giant thank you to Katey G., the Yelp team, and Kam Hing Bakery for arranging this event! Excited to try Kam Hing Bakery since I've passed its corner of Baxter St. thousands of times while on Canal Street, but the entrance is relatively inconspicuous from there... especially now with the scaffolding. They recommended an Original pound cake, since they are continually made throughout the day, so got one of those. Also, opted for a Pandan and Ube one, along with an unsweetened Green Thai ice tea! Decided to sit down and enjoy it there. Everything was fantastic and all these in-house baked Pound Cakes were soft and delicious, but my favorite was that warm out of the oven, yummy Original! (I'd suggest others try the same, especially if it's super fresh like mine!) Note - If you're looking for additional fun while downtown for this sensational Taiyaki event, check out my review and pics of nearby Jeffrey Deitch's 18 Wooster St. Gallery's absolutely amazing "Carnival" Show!

I love the sponge cakes from Kam Hing Bakery and I'd just brought my dad here when he was visiting recently. He really enjoyed them and I was thinking I should've gotten more, so this was a great opportunity. Thank you to Kam Hing Bakery, Yelp and Katey! I love the original sponge cakes, but decided to try the cappuccino and matcha as well. We were also offered a drink, so I got a small hot honey ginger tea. They have some tables inside, where I sat for a bit to enjoy one of the sponge cakes and my drink. The other two, I brought home to enjoy tomorrow. I like heating them up in my oven toaster for a fresh out of the oven taste. Looking forward to trying the other two. read more

Arrived here a little after 10 am on Sunday. The lady at the counter was very nice and friendly. I asked for Thai Tea which was really tasty! She told me to let her know if I wanted it to be sweeter, but it was just perfect. Sweet but not overly sweet. For sponge cakes, I chose Pandan, Ube, and Pinapple. They all had beautifully bright colors. The pineapple had a great aroma of pineapple as soon as I tore it into two. As Pandan and Ube don't really have noticeable aroma, so I didn't expect them to have any aroma. The sponge cakes were so light and airy, incredibly soft like holding a piece of a cloud in my hand. They all had great flavor, and although light, it was filling. What a great spot to get a little snack that is tasty and filling! Thank you Yelp, Katey, and everyone at Kam Hing Cafe for this tasty event! read more

I've been to Kam Hing a couple times over the last several years- certainly not as often as I would like! I always somehow forget just how good the sponge cakes are. They are so simple, yet are probably one of my favorite bakeries in Chinatown. We were able to select three sponge cakes and a drink. I opted for original, pandan, and green tea. I've only taken a bite of the original and am saving the others as a snack for later, but it's amazing just how light and fluffy these cakes are. And of course the ultimate compliment being that that they're "not too sweet." For my drink, I selected a Thai green tea and they were nice enough to put the drink in my Hydroflask so that it wouldn't completely melt in the heat. If I could rank this experience higher than 5 stars I would! Not only are the cakes amazing, but the customer service here is one of the best. Thank you, Yelp!! read more

Thank you for the Elite Experience to introduce me to this hidden gem! I didn't know sponge cake could be so interesting and flavorful - but what a gem of a fast fix coffee and sweets spot. The key here is definitely do two things really well, and then do them in a variety of ways. Those two things? Sponge Cakes & Coffees. The variety of flavors is unmatched - with a little sign that represents fresh flavors each day. The variety of Asian sweetened coffees and teas is also excellent. I chose the Ube, Coconut, and Thai sponge cakes. I'd definitely get the Ube & Coconut again. The Thai flavor was hard to place, interesting and different, but may not get again. I can see myself bringing friends back to try all the flavors! I ordered the Thai coffee iced- and it was so sweet- maybe made with condensed milk? I didn't ask after I got to take a taste, but it is much like what I've had in Thai with a super sweetness. As a takeout spot- absolutely 5 stars. As an eat-in, it gives diners & dives vibes and the customers who hang out and take up tables for more may not observe restaurant standards you'd hope to see like the whole shirt/shoes observance and keeping feet and shoes off seating areas. The restaurant may or may not be able to control that aspect all the time- but I got the sense it may have gone unaddressed for a long time to reach a comfort level that made me feel like it wasn't comfortable to stay and eat in. read more

Great sponge cakes! I had the pandan, Ube and butterscotch. The butterscotch was my favorite, probably because it was the sweetest. I asked the different between the Thai coffee and the Viet coffee. The Viet is stronger, made with espresso. I chose the Thai coffee and enjoyed it! It was sweet from the condensed milk. I want to assume I was given a large because I poured it into a 24 oz cup I brought with me and it filled it up. They were fairly busy when I went. The family ordering in front of me ordered 19 cakes! Then there were some other Yelpers. read more

This kitsch n rustic interior looks like deep Chinatown but more like south SoHo manhattan. Lots of stylish hipsters passed by. Feels like hidden spot. I arrived at 6 pm Saturday, I could make it but couldn't get Matcha flavor cake that I wanted.. I picked original, coconuts and strawberry.. all three were also sooo yummy. I love this Chinese fluffy sponge cake, their cake was exactly my ideal texture, I'm really really satisfied. The stuff was so kind and friendly. He recommended Vietnamese coffee that one of their popular menu. It's really good match with cakes. Cake was slightly sweet and coffee as well however it used condensed milk.. I'm so obsessed and I found my new favorite stop during SoHo strolling. read more

I'm going to be honest. I would've never encountered this place if not through a yelp event. It's sort of hidden away inside a building. Even more so,I likely wouldn't have entered this place if I did happen to encounter it. Aesthetic wise it's.... Interesting. I think it's purposeful too. Since I don't know too much about the intention of the design, I won't delve into it any further. I got the Vietnamese coffee, which was great ! When I came on Thursday afternoon, they had three flavors of sponge cake available: pandan , sponge, and coffee. All of them have a light and airy taste to it, and I loved the pandan flavor. I think I might come back here again as the prices are very reasonable, and the quality of the food is great. The people running it were so nice too! read more

I didn't eat them right away but I really liked the almond flavored one. Thank you to the bakery and to Yelp for a wonderful treat! So glad I now know about this place. read more

I am a huge Chinatown foodie so I was thrilled that Yelp teamed up with some classic spots for these events. Thank you to Katey G (and welcome back :)) and the nyc Yelp team for organizing! Kam Hing is a classic HK sponge cake bakery that I love. When I came in the afternoon on a holiday they were basically sold out of everything :( but I managed to snag an original and two Ube! I love their sponge cakes- both are super flavorful and moist. The Ube has a nice rich flavor and gorgeous purple color while the classic is simplistic perfection. Also got a Bangkok iced tea (Thai tea with lemon and sugar) which really hit the spot in the hot weather. It's a family-run joint and service is always super friendly and kind. Good amount of seating inside to beat the summer heat! read more

Thanks Katey, Yelp and Kam Hing for this great take-out event! I'm a big fan of Kam Hing and their sponge cakes. It's so fresh and yummy. Staff are so friendly too. My favorite is their original, but I decided to try their other flavors since they have it available. For the 3 flavors I picked ube, pandan and green tea. They were all delicious and tasty. It has a light fluffy consistency and not too sweet. I picked the iced Thai milk tea for the drink upon recommendation since they had quite a few drinks to pick from. This is a drink on the sweeter side, as Thai milk teas usually are. All together, it was a great treat! read more

Thank you to Kam Hing Bakery for this great mid-week treat! The bakery is tucked into a larger office building one block off the main Canal Street. They really do sell out - by 5:30pm there were only about 5 flavors left. I chose the original, coconut, and ube cakes. All were delicious! Real shred of coconut throughout the entire cake. Each sells for $1.25 to $1.50 so a box of these also would make an excellent housewarming or addition to a pot luck meal. I also got the hibiscus iced tea, and really appreciated that you could get it sweetened or unsweetened. Great options to have for those with personal flavor preferences but also menu accessibility for those with medical needs to reduce sugar. read more

Perhaps I took the Yelp event warning that they sell out of flavors too extreme. I arrived at 8am and the greeter was very nice and took my name. I asked for an iced coffee with cream for my beverage. He then packaged 3 original cakes for me and prepared my iced coffee. I'm disappointed I didn't get to try other flavors, so I recommend not coming this early perhaps they hadn't prepared them yet. The iced coffee was good!! the sponge cake was not as fluffy as I've had in other places but it's good! read more

Thank you to the staff and for Katey for this event! I am a huge fan of Kam Hing -- and always will be! The entrance is unassuming, but once you make your way past the scaffolding, you have a super humble, homey and delicious spot for sponge cakes. I love the variety of flavors offered and had the opportunity to sample mango, pandan, and ube! The differences are subtle but delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the nuttiness of the ube sponge cake. Our thai iced tea was also very refreshing and balanced. I love the maximalist decoration -- there is always something fun that catches you eye and makes you chuckle. The service was super fast and friendly as well. Thank you for having me! read more

This cash-only establishment is a staple in Chinatown and known for their soft and fluffy sponge cakes. If not for this Yelp event, however, I likely would've missed it as it's a bit hidden. The staff here was so so friendly and sweet--giving me recommendations on drinks and their sponge cakes. I highly recommend coming earlier in the day as I went at around 3pm and most of their spongecake flavors (except 4) were already sold out by then. I ended up getting their pandan, chocolate chip, and classic sponge cakes as well as their green thai tea drink and everything was delicious. The sponge cakes were probably some of the fluffiest sponge cakes I've ever tried and the green thai tea was sweet and paired well with the cakes. My favorite cake was probably the chocolate but all were delicious. I would love to come back to try some of their other flavors! read more

Definitely would recommend this bakery! I've walked by it several times and have been meaning to check them out - this event gave me the motivation to finally go. I went on Sunday afternoon and it was relatively busy in the store. Service is quick; it took less than 5 mins for me to get to the front of the line. I received a milk tea and three sponge cakes: Pandan, pistachio, and original. There were other flavors as well like chocolate and coconut. I really enjoyed the ones that I got. The cake itself was light, fluffy, and the perfect sweetness. If it were not for this event, the cakes would cost less than $2 each which would be a great value. A great snack for walking around Chinatown! They have several tables for you to enjoy the items and/or drinks after purchasing at the till. read more

Overall: A // 5 stars I am quite pleased to attend another Yelp Elite event, this time at Kam Hing Bakery in Chinatown, NYC -- thanks to @yelpnyc and @newkamhing for the invite! As part of this event, we got to try 1 drink of choice and three sponge cakes, and let me tell you these are some of the fluffiest sponge cakes I've ever had, and they only cost $1.50 each, what a steal! I had both the original and ube flavors (I went late in the day so there were only a few flavors left), and I like how egg-forward the original one tasted, and I also liked that the ube one was just as light, but there was an essence of the purple yam that allowed it to differ from the OG. Great cakes, nice shop owners, highly recommend. Apologies for the low quality photos. Thanks for hosting! Insta/Beli/Yelp/TikTok: @amei_eats read more

I've heard about Kam Hing Bakery and apparently walked by it multiple times due to the scaffolding or going to neighboring cafes or shops which shows that it is a hot spot of foodie destinations in that particular block in that area of Chinatown. For my 3 choices of sponge cakes, I picked Chocolate Banana, Ube, and Green Tea. Paired it with a new drink item which is their Mint Lemonade that is made on the spot with mint and lemon wedges added to the drink. I personally liked that the sponge cakes and drink pairing was not sweet overload and comforting to eat. The texture of the sponge cake was firm when unwrapping but soft when biting into without being too mushy or chewy, it was the perfect snack on the go or sitting down. This is a spot that truly is tucked away but worth finding and sitting down or pack some to share with friends while walking around Chinatown. Please do be patient especially if you order a drink that is made on the spot like the Mint Lemonade. Overall, amazing bakery to get a variety of sponge cake flavors and various drink options with two new items added to their menu. read more

Historically I've had a lovely time at Kam Hing-- LOVE the different flavors of their sponge cakes, and the texture of their cakes are just so unique compared to other sponge cakes I've had. They're slightly dense but somehow still light and fluffy. I loved their coconut sponge cake and the fact that the coconut flavor was strong and also included little coconut pieces. I was disappointed by the ube this time around because I couldn't taste the ube flavor in them despite the beautiful purple color. I also couldn't taste the tea in the Thai Tea; it was definitely more milk forward than anything. I still love Kam Hing for their options and their lovely lovely staff!

Yumm! Great inexpensive option for a quick snack or light breakfast. I'll be honest, I don't think it's the best sponge cake I've tried, but it was still good! It wasnt as big as I expected (as in, it seemed like it might not have rised as much as it should have?) but it was still fluffy! I got the Thai milk tea but I could only taste the cream/condensed milk and not so much the Thai tea flavor. Service is quick! A line formed right after we got there around 11-1130 on a Saturday, and there was not much seating open but it's a pretty big space! read more

So thankful to Yelp Elite for the opportunity to visit Kam Hing. Upon my entrance, it was immediately clear that this bakery in the heart of Chinatown is a community favorite. There was a line the whole time, which was always moving quickly due to the efficiency of the staff. The two women behind the counter were a stand out. They were super kind and accommodating, offering to add more sugar to drinks etc. I stayed to eat and was able to watch their interactions with other guests as well, they were equally as kind and friendly with everyone. They have a lot of cake and drink options here. I ordered strawberry, chocolate chip, and green tea sponge cakes. They were good! Flavor wise, I think I preferred the strawberry, but all of them were very light flavor wise. The texture is awesome as well, the cakes are certainly light and spongey. I also got a hibiscus tea which was fruity and sweet with a little bit of tang from a lemon. There's a really unique atmosphere here. It feels community run and there's a lot of quirky signage and stuffed animals around the seating area. I appreciated the opportunity to try something I wouldn't have otherwise tried! read more
