Was exploring Flushing eateries when I came across the Apollo Bakery. What not to like about the…read moreblack sesame bun? Also the matcha red bean bun that I went on to try?! Not too sweet desserts that go well with tea big time. I like their version of the classic sweet topping bun with a filling. The lightly sweet crumbly cookie-like topping on the fluffy bread-like bun filled with red bean paste was pretty good! I noticed that they also had mini mooncakes of various flavors. Be sure to see what you might want to try at the Apollo Bakery if you happen to be in Flushing. The associate at the bakery was tactful and patient when ringing up my order. A small bakery with some unique desserts.

I've been seeing a couple of reviews about their taro paste cream puff and knew I had to try it because I love a slightly sweetened dessert and I also really like taro paste. I would definitely go back and get it again another day. The Taro paste is added to the center very generously and the whip cream is nice and light with only a hint of sweetness. On top of this, the bread was not overly heavy and had a nice crunchy top. The service was very quick like any other Chinese bakery. I will be back another day to try more of their items.

Came here to grab some bread, pastries, and drinks for an event nearby. Service was efficient and…read morewe were able to get 15 milk teas and pastries in a timely manner. The ladies kept the line moving while making our milk teas. I tried the scallion bread with pork floss and it was fresh and soft. There is quite a large variety of breads, spongecakes, birthday cakes, pastries, and cookies at Sheng Mary Bakery.

Since I enjoyed the bread, I've gone back several times. Bought a day cake and love it too since it's not too sweet. Service is fast. Looks like your normal Asian bakery but with more variety. You can buy a gift card with some perks.

Baguette Talk offers bakery goods, beverages and soft serve ice cream cones. A soft serve was needed in this hot muggy NY day. We got vanilla and a matcha soft serve. The soft serve was huge. Both were really tasty. Another excellent stop!

Rainbow Bakery is a Chinese bakery in Flushing that operates as a straightforward, affordable stop…read morefor baked buns and light breakfast and lunch items. We walked into a no frills space where the prices are among the lowest we have found for fresh baked goods in the area, with most items running under two dollars. The black sesame and red bean buns are the items most worth seeking out, and they have earned repeat visits from people who plan their trips to Flushing around stopping here. The black sesame in particular has a depth of flavor that the more common sweet bun fillings do not match. We also tried the taro bread, which is soft with a smooth filling, another reliable choice for anyone who enjoys that flavor profile. The potato salad bun is a more unusual option that has developed its own following among regulars. The buns are individually wrapped for freshness, and the overall quality on the baked goods side is consistent and genuinely good for the price. The savory side of the menu covers ham and egg sandwiches, rice rolls, and dim sum options that function as a quick meal rather than a destination dining experience. We found results there more variable, and the baked goods are where the bakery is most dependable. For an affordable, no frills bakery stop in Flushing that delivers on value and a few standout buns, Rainbow Bakery is a reliable choice. We would come back specifically for the black sesame bun and keep our expectations calibrated on the savory side.

I got the garlic chicken sandwich to try, it was pretty good! I liked that there was a lot of…read moresavory bread/pastries. There's a lot of bakeries who have basic or plain savory breads and a lot more sweet ones. I prefer savory over sweet so this was a nice stop for me. Not sure if it was worth the price compared to going to a nearby food stall, but it was enough to hold me over a couple of hours in the morning. It can get packed and busy in here so it's really more of a grab and go type of bakery.

Maxin Bakery is a classic Flushing Chinese bakery focused on affordable baked goods, steamed buns,…read moreand traditional grab and go pastries. I walked into a simple, functional space with shelves and cases filled with buns, cakes, and packaged items meant more for quick pickup than sitting or browsing for long. The roasted pork buns and BBQ style buns were some of the most commonly picked items. I tried one and the bread was soft with a savory filling that leaned slightly sweet depending on the batch. Egg tarts are also part of the regular rotation, along with red bean buns and sponge cakes that stick to a more traditional bakery profile. The steamed buns section was a big part of the appeal here, especially for someone looking for quick, inexpensive food like pork buns or plain buns to take away. Prices are generally low compared to more modern bakeries in Flushing, which was a major reason I stopped in. Service was quick and straightforward, with my order handled fast even during a busy hour. The bakery has a high turnover of items throughout the day, so freshness can vary depending on timing, and selection is best earlier when the trays are more stocked. It is very much a grab and go spot rather than a place designed for dining in or browsing slowly. Overall, Maxin Bakery is a budget friendly Flushing bakery for basic Chinese baked goods and buns, best for quick snacks like pork buns, red bean buns, and egg tarts rather than specialty or dessert focused items.

This probably is the smallest of the Maxin bakeries, barely 10 feet wide, but is the closest to the…read moreMain St 7 train subway stop for convenience. They have all the baked goods that the bigger stores have, probably made at the one further down on Main St and delivered here in the morning. With the heavy foot traffic through here, I'm sure the baos here turnover rather quickly. I love to have a char siu bao for breakfast at the office in the mornings. A quick 30 sec in the microwave is all you need. Sometimes, I'll have a ham & egg or a 4 petal hot dog & bacon bun for variety. If I'm feeling the sweet tooth, a pineapple, egg custard bao or tart is the way to go.

The line moves quickly at this Fay Da location, but the parking lot is very bad. The selection of…read morebaked goods are the classic char siu bao, custard bun, pineapple topping bread, egg tart, sponge cake, raisin braid, coconut flake bread, mochi, etc. The people working here mostly speak Mandarin, but some do understand Cantonese as well. It is usually busy inside of the bakery as well as outside, so it is not an ideal spot if you're looking to sit down or use the restroom while nearby. Good for grab and go.

The iced milk tea however was really bad. It tasted like cheap tea mixed in with a bunch of sugar. The flavor was so bad that we ended up just throwing it out. Service (3/5): Not particularly friendly service but they processed our purchase with minimal issue. We also were using a gift card and had no issues with it. Ambiance (3/5): The store looks outdated and not the cleanest but there is a decent area to sit and eat with a bunch of tables.

They're very soft almost marshmallow like and over a week will get harder. If you prefer that texture great, but I suggest eating them ASAP when they're in the intended condition. My family loves the oreo and strawberry nougat. Can't speak much on the other items since I only go here for one thing. Interior of the bakery is pretty big with seating in the back, although it does have a lot of foot traffic.

This Chinese bakery has been one of my usual spots in Flushing to buy a small sized birthday cake…read more Tried a bunch of them and they have all been great, including the most recently ordered Blueberry Cake and Grape Cake. However, maybe my all time favorite cake was the Mango Pomelo. As for the rest, they have a line of fruit shaped desserts that are quite delicious too. I especially like the Mango. The Coconut was cute looking, but the taste was just okay. Haven't tried the Peach or Banana yet, but plan to at some point. I also enjoy their Black Sesame Bread and a few other pastries. Lastly, not sure how often this situation might come up, but Shakalaka is the only place to get Chinese breads till 10:00pm in the area. Everything else closes before 9:00pm. Bao Pastry and Naisnow are both open past 9:00pm, but neither sell any regular Chinese sandwiches or various breads.

With options like a coconut roiboos tea with coffee, black sesame latte, etc, everything has a fun twist. The drinks are a little small but are super reasonably priced. I got to try the rococo, the pistachio latte, the matcha latte, and the black sesame latte. Each one was really good, not too sweet, and had a strong flavor. The place is very small with no seating, so you have to take the drinks to go. It's a quick order and get out, so not much service here.

As of last week, I finally decided to be lactose free and they said we can't switch out the milk bc it's prebatched which is a tad disappointing.
