If the butter rolls weren't so freaking fantastic, I'd be highly suspect that Fay Da really isn't a Chinese-owned bakery. They have a nicely-designed, website which lacks any unfortunate typos and grammar mistakes. The shelves are stocked with breads and pastries covered in consistent, branded packaging and are thoughtfully merchandised. Most good Chinese bakeries brown bag it and you'll be lucky if you can locate the place again, never mind be able to find it in a google search. I stumbled upon Fay Da in Flushing but they have 9 locations between Manhattan and Flushing's C-towns. This is a good thing since I'll need to be able to satisfy my cravings for the butter rolls. I ate a loaf of it which has 7 buns in one sitting. Each bite is super buttery with a hint of sweetness. I also got a loaf of the sweet bread but it's not sweet at all. The awesome butter rolls make up for it so I'll let that slide. I'm going back very soon to sample sponge cakes, baked buns, steamed buns, butter cookies, bubble tea, etc. and pick up another loaf of butter rolls. read more

For fresh Bubble Tea it's $5.00 with sales tax which is ridiculously expensive but worth a splurge. Their traditional Chinese buns are very fresh and very reasonably priced. You can buy lunch for two buns under $5.00. This bakery caters to the Chinese market which is exactly what I'm looking for. read more

Fay Da may offer the cheapest Asian bakery goods in Flushing, but the overall quality also suffers from the dip in cost. I ordered a few of my favorites, one of which being the soft fluffy egg-based cake and I was quite disappointed by the dry, rather than soft texture that assaulted my taste buds and desiccated my oral mucosa...it's a shame, but hey, it was cheap. read more

Stopped in yesterday to bring some treats to my mother who is in the hospital down the road. I have been a happy customer at Fay Da bakeries before, but this was my first time at this location. Bottom line... old food, rude service. First, I was the only person in the bakery but it still took a few minutes for one of the 3 workers behind the counter to pay attention to me for me to pay. Then, the cashier wanted me to exchange the bill I was paying with because it had a 1/4 inch tear. I said the bill was whole, nothing was missing and she had to take it. She then had to discuss it with the 2 other workers they waved it around, looked at it from different angles, and argued in Chinese before begrudgingly accepting it. Again, this was a completely whole $10 bill with a miniscule tear in the middle, probably from being folded too many times. I then asked (3x) if she could please cut the pastries in half and she said yes twice then threw them in the bag whole. When I asked again, she asked me "I don't understand, why do you want to do that?" After explaining that my mother is in the hospital for a few days and probably could not eat a whole pastry she begrudgingly did it. When we got to the hospital, the pastries definitely tasted off. Rancid oil, sour filling. Oddly wet on the cut edges which was probably from the knife cut. I would've walked but I just didn't have the energy to ask for my torn $10 bill back. read more

WHY FAY DA oh WHY are your Bubble Tea prices so high??? For a regular sized Bubble Tea, it's priced around $2.95 a pop, but in regards to flavor, spending the extra $.50 is TOTALLY worth it! The Milk Bubble Tea was nothing less than awesome -they had just the RIGHT amount of ice to keep it cold, but not enough to kill the sweet flavor of the tea. When my family had come here, I ordered a Baby Cheesecake...aside from saying it was probably one of the best things God could have made ONE DOLLAR (no, the Double Cheeseburger and Whopper Jr fall far in comparison), there really isn't much else to say about this piece of heavenly goodness... Other than that, the place is pretty clean, has a rather small seating area in the back, and a pretty shabby bathroom. read more

I'm a Japanese living in Flushing and was looking for the best bakery to satisfy my craving for pastries. I have never tried Chinese or Korean bakeries before so I thought I should give it a try them both, I was told Korean style bakeries are pretty similar to Japanese style. and yes they are pretty similar but I found they have less variation of choice and they are just ok to me. Nothing more than avarage Japanese bakeries. And now Chinese bakeries...omg..they are amazing.I didn't know Chinese pastries taste so great. They have various kind of pastries I have never seen and all look so flattering! No I mean thier pastries are not too much decorated with a lot of chocolaty/honey coated or anything, just being there look simple, but all those names like coconuts/ pinapple/shredded pork/scallion/taro/lemmon kind of buns etc really got my attention .They are all new to me and It was hard to stop myself want to try them all at once!! Now my favorite is cream coconuts bun. I really fell in love with this soft creamy and moisty buns combination with coconut sprinkle..I can easily eat it probably 5 all at once lol. now I have to come back here regularly just for this goody with a nice cup of coffee ...just LOVE it!! read more

Randomly went in to satisfy my egg tart craving and wasn't disappointed!!!!! Much better than the egg tart from New Flushing Bakery which is apprently 'the best egg tart'... FayDa's egg tart is not as buttery or crispy (maybe a little oily) but definitely great for $1!!!!! Would go back instead of walking to New Flushing bakery. read more

They have a good selection of baked goods, from pineapple buns to danishes to bao to mousse cakes. Everything is very fresh and most pastries are around $1-1.25 each. It's your typical Chinatown bakery with solid offerings. My favorites are the pineapple taro bun and coconut danish. Cash only! read more

Yumyumyummyyyy Fay Da is a standard chinese bakery, I've tried a couple different things from here & their pastries are pretty good .. BUT I've recently tried their ice coffee with tapioca and mind was blown. Their coffee is so delicious its the perfect taste of coffee slightly sweet creamy and everything I loveee about coffee, NO POWDER UP IN HERE !!!!! Also, their tapioca is surprisingly decent .. not as good as TenRen of course but its not bad for a bakery. I havent tried their bubble tea yet but maybe I will, but probably not anytime soon since their ice coffee has my taste buds super happy. read more

Love their tuna bun. Visually pleasing and flavorful. It is a tuna salad bun. The flavor is just right, a touch of salt and pepper, simple yet delicious. Got their small hot coffee with milk and two sugars along with the sweet roast pork bun to go. Just the perfect breakfast combo. I decided to just get my coffee here instead of my usual deli since I am running late. Never thought coffee from bakeries would taste good, but it actually had a rich dark roast flavor, enough to wake me up and kick start the day. I got their chestnut birthday cake a couple of years back. Unfortunately, the chestnut tasted a tad sour as if it was about to go bad, but still edible. It was the only time I got a bad cake from them though. Their mango mouse cake is good too. The staffs were very quick, friendly and efficient. It took me no time at all to pay and dash despite the crowd. read more

Fay Da Bakery - Tuna bun 3 - Bakeries Near Me - Flushing, New York

My Favorite place to go for some fresh and delicate Chinese pastry. Huge range to choose from. Inexpensive price. Many chain store in other parts of New York. From Chinatown Manhattan to queens (no shop at Brooklyn) I recommend you to get egg tart (jelly taste and big), Japanese cheese cake, Napoleons, steam buns and Mont Blanc. There were so nice. read more

The Pastries are delicious. It was a bit busy when I came here, but overall I am impressed with the customer service. I don't know much about the asian pasteries, but the workers recommended me some good ones. The melon bread is great with coffee! I like this place better than the other bakeries because their products are affordable. Also, the workers seem very nice. read more

I was hanging around here a while back and because I said I wanted pastries, my friend drove me here. Well, it's Fay Da. It's just like any other Fay Da except this one has a lot more seats and room. As always I try out their buns and custards. It's nothing special but definitely tasty and their buns are on the drier side. I'm happy I got a seat that day because despite the amount of seats they have, I'm assuming their place is always packed. All the workers there are Mandarin-speaking it seems but it doesn't mean their service is not efficient. They help you right away with what you want. One thing that I don't recommend here are their bubble teas. Way way too sweet to be good. Just come here for the buns. read more

This bakery is the worst attitude l've ever seen. A few days ago,I called to book a fresh cake,and the next morning I come get fresh cake. She asked do you have a receipt or serial number?I said no,she did not give me a number.She checked the list,but she doesn't seem to find my reservation.She asked what I want is the cake and she gave me the cake is yesterday stale cake! Ok! And on the phone she said this cake doesn't exceed 20,but now she said this is 24! Ok! That's ok! And I said I need some birthday candles,she just give me 2 candles,I said can you give me more?You know what she said?She said today it isn't your 11th birthday? What the hell!And I need some plate and fork,she said they don't have these. What?! Bakery don't have plate and fork?!!! I swear I will never come to this house a bakery!! read more

Pastries are pretty good and they have great coffee. But, last year I had an odd experience with a cashier and I haven't gone back since. She demanded (she didn't ask, demanded) that I speak Mandarin to her. She said she can only understand Mandarin. I understand a bit of Mandarin but can't speak the language. I was too shocked to say anything. Luckily another staff came to my rescue. To the owner of Fay Da Bakery: Please remind your staff they're working in the US and shouldn't assume everyone speaks Mandarin! read more

I've been going to Fay Da bakeries since I was a in Elementary school (almost 20 years), but this place has big selection of breads, cakes, pastries, drinks and even some selected dim sums for a cheap cheap price. The service was not always good here and most of the staff don't speak English. Just pick up a tray and tongs, and pick up what looks good. The breads and pastries are usually fresh. The cakes and desserts may not be fresh, but you can pre-order a cake to be made fresh. They also have a big selection of smoothies, bubble teas, coffee, milk tea, iced drinks and regular flavored teas. read more

If you don't want to spend as much across the street at Paris Baguette, Fay Da has some pretty sweet options. My favorite sweet thangs are the Egg Custard Tart, Sweet Topping Bun and Choco-Walnut bun. All delicious and the buns are always chewy and doughy, just the way I like it. Their regular breads are good too. If you have their cold ham and egg sandwich in the fridge, you'll see what I'm talking about. Their fresh steamed veggie bun is another wonder that will fill you up for only $1! They have a good variety of smoothies and teas... all relatively inexpensive. read more

I bought an 8" Japanese cheesecake for $15. This cheesecake was absolutely delicious. It's light and fluffy, yet creamy and moist, all at the same time. It's unlike American cheesecakes--it's way better! This cake isn't decorated like the other ones and is rather plain looking but I would rather have Japanese cheesecake over regular spongecake with decorative cream that I wouldn't eat. Plus, all the decorative cakes are around $16 for a 6" vs this $8 for almost the same price. I think if you preorder (which I didn't--have to do 5 days in advance), you can order one with decorations. I asked the workers to write happy birthday and they gave me a little cake topper that said it instead. This place is CASH ONLY (as is most other places in Flushing) and there was no tax on the cake. read more

The taro buns here are the best I've EVER had. So, so delicious. They make really awesome mochi, as well. Huge, gooey, and very filling. You really won't want to have more than one. The only downside is the coconut, but.. with taro filling, who cares what's on the outside?? Their cookies look wonderful, but I have not tried yet... definitely pick up a taro bun. For real. read more

Okay its the battle between Fay Da and Tai Pan for Chinese bakery notoriety, huh? Well, Fay Da hands down has better: (1) taro buns (not so oily) (2) pigs in blanket (yeah, hot dog bun) (3) mochi (4) shredded pork bun. LOTS OF SHREDDED PORK + LOTS OF BUN = LOTS OF FUN. The only issue is that its on the more expensive end of Chinese bakeries....but thats not saying its $$$! read more

Nothing ext-ordinary here, but some good pastries. I needed a pastry fix before leaving flushing, and this was the closest bakery. I had an egg custard that was yummy if nothing special. I have had some better ones in Chinatown. I like a flaky crust, this was not. I also had a Taro pastry, which was pretty good too, but again, nothing amazing. Overall I might stop in again, but I would probably be more inclined to go somewhere else. Still service was friendly, and it was super cheap. Two pastries and a two bottles of water rang up to around $4.50. Cash only. read more

This is one of my go to spots. The things I usually get here are the egg tarts, pineapple crusted tops, paper wrapped sponge, and hot dog. I generally buy these and bring them up to my parents who live about 6 hours away. Never had any issues with the snacks. Quality is there. read more

The pictures, addresses, and reviews for the two Fay Da bakeries on Main Street seem to all be conflicting, so I'm just posting this review to both. I hate to give a 1 star review, but "Eek! Methinks not" is exactly what I think of this place. The service here was pretty bad. My boyfriend & I were ignored as we waited on the line, other people came up to the counter and were served before us. When I asked if I could have something written on the $12 marble cheesecake that we bought, they said no. What kind of bakery doesn't do that? We decided to kill some time as we waited to meet up with friends and sat at one of the tables inside. We watched as the woman working behind the counter spit on the floor. Lovely. Later on when we presented the cake to our friend who was visiting from another country, we discovered that the cake itself was actually the worst part of this whole experience. It was horrible! It tasted sour, like something in it had gone bad. Save yourself the trouble and go to Paris Baguette across the street. It's a little more expensive but at least you know you'll be getting something good. read more

I'm a nit-picky person, and this is a nit-picky review. Reviewing stuff on yelp, it doesn't always have to pertain to what people go to the places for right? For instance, this particular location of Fay Da has great eggtarts, and the size of it is quite large (that's what she said). How I like to start my mornings sometimes is to buy their eggtart and a small container of their unsweetened soy milk. Now, for the nit-picky part of my experience. I cannot stop uttering this sentence in my mind whenever I enter this establishment: "This place is a diaspora for all the lifeless losers around Flushing". I say this, because it's where all the Foxwoods go-ers gather around waiting for the coach bus that'll take them to their haven, or as I like to call it, the bottomless pit. No it does not have a direct effect on the taste of their eggtarts and soymilk, unless of course if you don't consider the mental disgust I get which eventually rides through my nerves to get to my taste buds. These ill-mannered, uneducated, and miseducated breeds are what plague Flushing, and what drives out the motive for all what could have been, a decent tourist spot. read more

The staff in this location has no sense of cleanliness. The cashier handled cash then touched food with the same bare hands without washing or putting on gloves. Disgusting, especially during this time of pandemic. read more

Another good standard Chinese bakery. Now, this one I frequent more than the others due to its location so I will give it one star extra for that alone. I know, what does that mean? It means whatever you make of it, but I think that the consistency I encountered was appreciated. I even bought mooncakes from here and those mooncakes were delicious. Prices are going up all the time, unfortunately. Otherwise... I'm ok with the dollar small 10 oz coffee. read more

I love Asian bakeries! Seriously, the selection is great, the prices are cheap, and the baked goods are delish. Sure, you have to deal with old Chinese people elbowing you for room. Sure, the bathroom may be dirty and gross. But for baked goods it's a great place. I also love the coffees cause they're sweet and cheap. You get to sit here all day if you want. Conveniently located in Flushing. There are more than one Fay Da bakeries and there are many other bakeries so it seems like competition is stiff. Hey, better for the customer! read more

I come to this store every morning to buy breakfast. I come in this Sunday morning when I ask mind I have a bag? The employee rolling her eyes and complained, "I can't give you a bag without buying a lot of bread". Bad service and bad attitude. read more

Great Bakery and Pastry place! During my visits each time to NYC, I always grab something for snack from there and always buy more for next day breakfast! I like 雞尾飽, original pineapple bun, 奶油飽, Napoleon cake just to name a few. This place is always pack during busy times and hard to get a seat if u want to dine in. read more

The ladies aren't very friendly is no smiles and all about business, BUT the place is always clean and the breads and pastries always fresh. I love the scallion roll, the tuna bun and of course the hot dog bun. read more

I got a chaosu bun the other day and was so disappointed with what I got. The bun looked nice and puffy but once I bit into it I saw that there was barely any meat at all. The top was just a thin crust. I find it like a scam, I would've just gotten a plain bun from somewhere else if I knew what this bun was like. 100% would not recommend this bun. read more

Fay Da Bakery - Chaosao bun with no meat whatsoever - Bakeries Near Me - Flushing, New York

This bakery the sales person is not honest. I just want to know if my bag fit the cake. So the lady tell me to pay first. But the cake is not fits so I say I dun want it. I want my money back.and the lady said she can't becox the money already in the cashier. And other lady came and said if they give me the money back than they need to pay for it. WHAT A BULLSHIT. And also forgot to tell all of u.i ask the lady today is 43 degree,can the cake stay out for 2 hours?will it dissolve?she said no. read more

Very rude cashiers! Full on attitude, eager to brush you off and just ruins the whole experience. Food/pastries are also average. You can find better. read more

Fresh bakeries always. Conveniently located at the south side of Flushing downtown. It's life saver on an another cold winter day. read more

Fay Da Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Flushing, New York

Another excellent Cantonese bakery with impressive buns. Its quality is comparable to its competitor, Tai Pan, but the meat in Fay Da's buns is slightly drier. read more

Got a lemon honey drink that was perfectly mixed, light and refreshing. There is a back area with seating if you would like to sit and enjoy a bun and tea but other than that it's your typical flushing bakery bun shop. read more

Worst fayda or bakery I've been to!!! Stopped by before work to grab some goods and saw no tongs available so went to the cashiers to ask, she ignored me so I just followed someone else and grabbed one from the counter. I received a glared in return. Moving on, grabbed my goods went to checkout, paid with a ten dollar bill and exact changes. However, the cashier refused to take my changes !!!??? I don't need more changes she originally plan to give back to me. I pointed out I left my exact changes on the counter top, guess what? I got a dead glared in return. read more

Other reviewers have written about the bubble tea, but in my opinion, this isn't really a cafe for bubble tea. It's a place to get some Chinese pastries or buns as a quick bite to eat in the morning or as an afternoon snack. The ladies that work here take care of your orders quick! I've gotten different varieties of buns here in the morning on my way to work, and I've probably never spent more than two minutes each time I've stopped in. Speed is important on the morning rush to work! Plus, their bun prices can't be beat! I recommend the red bean sweet topping bun. It's my favourite! read more

I visit this Fay Da after doing groceries at Hong Kong. I prefer this one over others just for quick pastries/buns/breads only because its more convenient and not as chaotic. Love love love the red bean bun and the sweet breads. Usually the sweet topping is too much just for my tasting but it easily comes off. Ooh another favorite is the japanese cheese cake-- super moist and fluffy. I'm not one to ask staff "IZ THIS FRE$HHH!?" and nothing I've selected myself has been stale or "day old" tasting. I wouldn't bother getting bubble tea here. Walk down to Roosevelt for Quickly! read more

I would never ever go back to this place. They have horrible customer service and accused us of taking tip money and not paying. We bought 2 bubble teas and she said $2.50 for each one and my friend had given the lady 2 dollars and I gave her 5 dollars to pay the rest off and she did not give me my change back. They did not try to understand us and we asked them to check their camera! They need to learn English! Never go to this place beware! Confusing and not nice at all!!! I would give them 0 stars! :( read more
