    Steamed shrimp dumpling
    Eileen H.

    Clean and convenient spot near the R train. Everything's fresh pastries, steamed rolls, and plump shrimp dumplings. I tried the pineapple custard and lemon bao. Fluffy and tasty, but the filling was a bit underwhelming, had to take several bites to even find it (photo proof!). Cakes looked beautiful though, so I'll be back for those. Staff always friendly and fast can you out the door quick. There's two tables and seating. Sometimes customers will be sitting there taking up the tables not buying or eating and that's unfortunate. I wished they had a seating limit policy. So I'll either eat standing by the window or take it to go.

    It's been so long I came here to enjoy a cup of great iced coffee . I used to work around here & it was my go to place to get coffee & cookies. Customer service is really great. Like the decor a lot , lots of seats to relax & enjoy. Bringing back a lot of good memories! Thank you guys for such an awesome experience everytime I come here.

    The food is great! I wanted a cozy spot to place my order and eat while my car was in the shop. The service is very quick. You don't wait long and there's plenty of snacks or drinks to choose from!

    Brown Sugar Milk Tea

    We pass by Gigi's Bakery often on our morning walks with the kids on weekends. Not sure why it took us so long to check out this spot. My husband made a detour on the way home this morning and wanted to check out the drinks here. We initially got 2 large brown sugar bubble teas to go and ended up getting various buns to bring home to our kids. On the car ride home, we scarfed down two buns and they were so good, soft and fresh. In our total order of baked goods, we got a shredded pork bun, a coconut custard, a pineapple bun and 3 hot dogs. The brown sugar bubble tea is REALLY good! I'm not always a fan of the tapioca pearls but the ones from Gigi's are soft with the perfect amount of chewy. Already can't wait for our next morning walk so we can make another stop here.

    I probably walked in when they're about to close door? Not much left at the time. The baked goods are fine. But nothing stands out.

    Top to bottom - ham and cheese, cha siu, coconut

    I haven't actually visited the bakery in person but my sister has bought us some buns from here and both times, they were amazing. I'm sure it's probably because of all the extra butter they layer in there, but I try not to think about it. I've tried the cha siu bao, hot dog bun, scallion bun, and my newly discovered favorite - the ham and cheese bun. She said that each bun is probably about 25 to 50 cents more than a regular Chinese bakery, but the quality is so much better. You really do pay for what you get in this situation. Can't wait to go in person so I can eat with my eyes and probably end up buying more buns than I can actually eat.

    Fruit cake. I was told there was not supposed to be fruit in the first layer.
    Jenny L.

    Poor customer service experience. I ordered what I believed to be a traditional Chinese fruit cake. I was disappointed when I realized that there were only a few small pieces of fruit inside. When I went back to the store to inquire, I was told only one layer was supposed to have fruit. For the price paid there was little fruit, and the fruit on top were not in good condition. I showed the man behind the counter the pictures (attached.) The guy stated that he would talk to the chef. I was not expecting a refund, perhaps a consolidation bun, or at least an apology on behalf of the store. Instead he told me that no other customers ever complained about their cake and that if their quality did not meet my standards that I can go buy a cake elsewhere :(

    Portuguese Egg Tarts
    Ga Hing C.

    Delicious Portuguese egg tarts, not the best I've had, but pretty solid. Very convenient location and great service. I've tried few different types of buns from them and they are good as well. Can't go wrong with this place.

    Assorted pastries
    Brian M.

    With a few improvements I would give them 4 stars. This is a good addition to the neighborhood as there is a need for more small cafe/ bakeries in the area. I gave them 3 stars as I compared them to other Asian bakeries in Chinatown in Manhattan, Eighth and 18 Avenue in Brooklyn. Pros- the store is very clean, new, well displayed has seating for a quick bite and a fairly decent selection. Some prices are very in expensive for their small pastries such as the Portuguese egg tart for only $1.25 each. They were awesome and rivaled the bakeries in Newark and Harrison New Jersey. The staff was friendly and I believe one of the owners stepped in when I placed my order. Cons- $10 minimum on credit cards, not something I would start off with for a new business. Establish your base first then set some guidelines. Some of the prices I found high for an Asian bakery. Some pastries were $4 or more which when you try them such as the double chocolate cake do not have much size or weight to it like Italian bakeries. Communication- there were a few employees helping customers that either did not understand or speak English well. This can hurt a business as I read in other reviews that if you purchase 5 of the Portuguese Egg tarts you get the sixth one free. This was not offered to me, I would have bought the five. The chocolate cake for $2 was a good value although it tasted very salty, almost like I was eating butter off the fork. I purchased a few different items to take out and did not taste everything yet so I will do an update once I try them. All it all it was ok, I was expecting that all the products would be of a higher quality and have better portions for some of their products. Maybe their still ironing things out so I will go back and see if they took any of my suggestions in this review.

    Can you tell I always place an order for a customized cake ? I got mango mousse for my son's 100 day. The topper is also a bath toy, like how cute is that !!

    Came here on New Year Eve to grab some Palmier cookies or Butterfly Cookies. I love their snack size ziplock baggie of these delicious palmier cookies. Yum $5 a bag of these mini cookies is a steal.

    Moldy cake
    Rowena Y.

    I used to like their bakery items but the quality seems to have gone downhill especially with their pastries. This is the second time where I found mold in their chocolate roll cakes. See pictures. There was another time I found a dead bug in one of the pre-sliced bread. Be careful what you order. If you want cake, try ordering a fresh cake from them instead.

    Fifi and I made our way over to Gigi's for some Portuguese egg tarts and lemme tell ya...it melted in my mouth like buttery snow. I could eat a whole box if I could!

    Mia's has become my go-to for when I'm looking for a sweet treat or looking to gift someone some…read moresweet treats. Every item I've tried has been delicious. I keep on returning back for their flan. This time, I tried their fruit napoleon and it definitely hit the spot. Their cookies are also super fresh for gifting to folks or hosting. The spot itself is spacious and the service is wonderful. I like that they have outdoor seating as well for summer nights. It's become a regular spot for us when we're craving a sweet treat!

    There are some places that become part of your family's story, and Mia's Bakery is one of ours…read more We've been coming since the day it opened on Smith Street, and everything we've tried, the rainbow cookies, the tres leches, the cheesecake, has been wonderful. But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.
