    Sweet topping bun and BBQ pork bun
    Clarissa B.

    For those craving the Hong Kong experience of getting fresh baked goods and an egg tart, this is probably the best place in the area to go. It really gives traditional vibes with the plate and grabber tongs. The prices are also what they should be for the pastries which means you can get a good number for the same price of just a couple items at fancier bakeries. I got maybe 6 buns for $15 . The taste has the level of nostalgia I'm looking for and the selection is exactly what I want as well - no major frills but everything is delicious. The cashier is probably the most efficient I've encountered - she wastes no time in packing quickly and moving onto the next person which is amazing for us impatient newyorkers. My pictures only show two buns because I absolutely inhaled four with my fiance then realized maybe I should have taken a picture. They have several locations and I assume the quality is similar at all which makes this a great place for a consistent nostalgic moment.

    A favorite hole in the wall coffee spot when im in the area. Coffee is always hot & they have a selection of sweet cakes & savory breads. Service is fast & Efficient. Usually take my coffee in the nearby parks especially if the weather is nice No seating & no bathroom.

    Chicken sandwich

    I came in here Sunday afternoon forvan afteenoon snack. I saw the samdwich. It looked fresh. The chicken waa well seaaoned but not that crispy since it was cooked already. The bread was soft but not mushy.

    Steamed Pork and Veg Bun ($2.25)
    Heidi M.

    Cheap eats are far and few between in the West Village so this popular Chinese bakery chain is lowkey a godsend. $2.25 for a hearty steamed pork & veggie bao makes the perfect breakfast (or light lunch) especially if you're on a budget. Plenty of sweet baked buns/pastries as well but I'm a savory girlie and there's a decent variety for us too. You can find buns at even lower costs at similar bakeries in Chinatown, but again it's the WV - I'll take what I can get around here. Be sure to have cash if you're spending under $10.

    I serendipitously stumbled upon this Fay Da while exiting the train station on West 4 one day. It was like hitting the jackpot! I know there are a million Chinese bakeries in Chinatown, but I'm just too lazy to make the special trip. They don't have every single thing you may find at a typical Fay Da, but they def have my faves and they're good as always. Super glad I found it and will always stop by when I want Chinese baked goods.

    Great bakery. Delicious onion bun. Excellent coffee. Only 2 seats so take it and leave!

    Outside

    This location of Fay Da had a full selection of their typical items, all labeled extremely clearly as in all Fay Das. Savory items were ok. Prefer classic scallion braid/breads to the green pea and scallion braid, as the peas seemed to dry it out a bit. The plain croissant was ok, had a buildup of butter on the bottom but didn't result in a moist croissant, it was slightly dry.

    We had some work in the Greenwich area and needed before heading to the Gym. This bakery is located right at the entrance of the subway (A, C, D; B, D, F, M). It is easy to miss this gem on the busy street. This little shop is amazing with a wide variety of pastries They also serve coffee and boba milk tea, which make them a perfect place for breakfast or afternoon snacks. The staff was very friendly and always tried to help. They require a purchase of at least 10$ to pay by credit card.

    Fantastic spot for grab and go buns and other items. I tried the roast pork bun, steam pork bun, taro mochi, taro bun and coconut bun. My favorites were the roast pork and coconut - definitely would get those again. Cash only. No seating.

    Pink Lady Cake
    Ava B.

    I chose to get my birthday cake from this place back in October, which is a big decision. You want your cake to be tasty, the right size, and with flavors that can be enjoyed by all... It did not disappoint in the slightest. I ordered the "Pink Lady Cake" mostly because of the cut heart detailing on the size which reminded me of those minimalist Korean lunchbox cakes. I was going for something aesthetic as it was a picnic and we had a lot of other sweet treats. Very light and fluffy cake, almost like air with a perfect strawberry touch. I got the "medium" size which worked out for my group but expect something smaller and rounder than a classic grocery store cake They also have the cutest animal face cakes I want to try, I don't know what occasion I would need them for but like they say it's a want, not a need. Look at them on their website it's so cute Besides the preorder, they have a selection of grab-and-go individually wrapped pastries. Many reviews mention them and while I haven't tried these (even though I was super tempted when I was ordering my cake), I'd say the hidden star are the orderable cakes- I would guess that the taro is really good but I didn't know if everyone in my party liked this flavor. The fresh fruit cake, chocolate mousse cake, and Japanese cheesecake seem like crowd-pleasers Even though the communication was a little off and I was worried something would go wrong, the staff did their job perfectly and the cake was on time. I don't mind having to repeat myself to make sure the details are there as long as it works out in the end Setting: I wish they could expand into new locations because the one by Washington Square Park isn't always the safest. While I was there a person who was staying outside started wandering the store and encroaching on other's space - luckily the staff and customers didn't give them any attention and the situation never escalated

    My egg custard bun. $1.45  ( I got carried away and ate half of it b4 taking a pic) lol!
    Misty D.

    Always my immediate go to for a quick breakfast as I'm headed to work. Conveniently located right above the W. 4th St. subway station, I make a pit stop here before transferring trains. I love coming here for their warm pastries that are made fresh every day. I also love the steam egg creme bun!! I know that this place is carbs galore but I really like that it's affordable and fills me up quickly for a day when I can't be bothered to have a healthy breakfast. The buns are only less than two dollars I believe and the pastries are all less than three dollars! My recommendations: -egg creme bun (be quick in the morning, they run out fast!) -tuna pastry -egg tart I ordered a birthday cake from here as well, which was perfect because it was not too sweet!

    It's better to burn out than to Fay Da way
    Fox E.

    Named after Darth Fay-da, I'm not sure if me finding this bakery (which I took my little tiny Sammi Puffle into, in her little pink carrier) was destiny or just a twist of fayda. It's better to burn out than to Fay Da way, and that's what I found out when I came to this cute little Greenwich Village Bakery. In terms of products, and also some of the customers, this is a lovely little Bakery - and I didn't really want to like it because some of the prices are a little on the high side, and the server was extremely unfriendly to me. But as it happened every bite of the spectacular lemon bread was dreamy and delicious and there is no way I can give them less than five stars considering that they are putting out products as good as 85 Degree Bakery, without being a massive chain. Long may they survive and prosper as one of the top Asian bakeries I've been to in NYC.

I've never been to a yogurt store that makes you pay a set price first before selecting toppings, which also means toppings are limited based on the yogurt size (something I only realized later after looking at a picture I took in the store). The employee who was supposed to help me immediately gave me attitude, as if I was supposed to already know all the "rules" of the store. I said nothing that would have warranted that reaction -- I simply went over to the display. At the register, I scanned my rewards app then couldn't find the card reader to pay. After about 20 seconds, I realized it was sitting on top of a case of water bottles (pictured). The topping limit signage was also placed off to the side of the register where customers wouldn't naturally see it -- it wasn't even on my side and was partially blocked. I only found this out when I went up to the counter after I got my yogurt. While choosing toppings, I asked how many I was allowed, and she responded, "How many toppings do you think you're supposed to choose?" with a noticeably rude tone. When I chose cookie dough as my fourth topping, she only gave me a few pieces, dropped another on the counter (pictured), and ignored it. The cookie dough topping was stale too. I also noticed she did not seem to treat other customers the same way. I eventually went back to the register - I asked her if the yogurt was actually strawberry matcha because it tasted like vanilla. I also asked about her rudeness because I genuinely didn't understand why I was being treated that way for asking simple questions. She said the information was "on the wall," even though it was difficult to see. I actually ended up apologizing earlier because she made me feel like I was burdening her. The only personable thing she said the entire interaction was that I didn't need to apologize, but the tone still felt unfriendly. Two customers sitting nearby ended up leaving without ordering. I understand it was Super Bowl Sunday and she appeared to be working alone, which may have contributed to stress. Still, I left feeling extremely shaken and even spilled yogurt on my jacket afterward. I would not return to this location. I used to come to this location sometimes, but after this experience -- and a previous visit where I ordered a tea and received very little -- I would not return.

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.

They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!
