I really like Sweets Bakery. It's probably one of my favorite Chinese bakeries in the Flushing…read morearea. It's located in a small strip mall at the intersection of Parsons Blvd and Northern Blvd, so there's limited parking in the tiny lot. The owner of Sweets Bakery is the same owner of Nippon Cha in Bayside, so you will also see Nippon Cha's signature Tochucha tea served on the Sweets menu. What I really like about Sweets is they are open early in the morning at 5:30 a.m., and I like to come at that time for their fresh baked breads, buns and Chinese egg custard pastries! They also have a decent selection of hot cooked dishes. Prices are cheap and quality is pretty consistent!

I only tried the Chinese pastries. They're on the flaky side, so I recommend eating them on an actual tray, a bowl, or with some paper underneath because they're pretty delicate and crumbly. Some of them are spongy, like this cake thing, and others are flaky, like a cookie. I recommend 85° Bakery Café for a quick pit stop. The service is pretty nice, and the ambience is very Chinese. You can't go wrong with that.

For an americanized asian bakery, the pastries, breads, and drinks are affordable.

It is not your usual Chinese bakery because they no longer sell the $1-$2 bakery bread and pastry items. They sell a lot of HK fast food specialties like spam and egg over rice, milk tea, macaroni and soup, and congee. I wold suggest ordering what's on the menu but without any replacements because there are surcharges (for ex. $1 for a slice of cheese. Everything is pretty much pre-made and they just heat it up. The egg sandwiches are made to order though so it is a good breakfast item.

Prices are good though. One of their more talked about items on social media is the Corn Beef and Egg Sandwich. Honestly, too mushy and not my thing. This is not a destination spot, but having it as a neighborhood snack shop is pretty convenient.

I walked into a straightforward layout with shelves of baked goods and a drink counter that stayed busy throughout the day. The croissant style pastries and the egg tart were some of the more commonly ordered items. I tried the croissant egg tart, which stood out as a flaky option that leaned more crisp than soft. Pork floss bread and savory buns are part of the heavier side of the menu, while items like matcha mochi bread and cream based buns lean sweeter and softer in texture. Drinks like rose latte and other milk teas are also available, keeping it closer to a hybrid bakery café setup. I noticed some items felt lighter and fresh out of the case, while others varied more in texture depending on timing. Service at this location was inconsistent. My visit was quick and straightforward, but I have heard from others that some visits involve longer waits or issues with order handling, especially during busy periods. The space itself is functional rather than designed for sitting and lingering, and the focus is more on turnover and takeout orders than extended dining. Pricing sits in line with other Flushing bakeries in the area, with a wide enough selection that people tend to come for specific items rather than a full menu experience. Overall, Barley Time is a convenient Flushing stop if I am looking for a mix of pastries and drinks in one place, especially if I am picking up quick baked items like egg tarts, croissant based pastries, or sweet breads to go.

There seems to be a bakery or two per block all selling sweets and savory baked goods. After visiting a friend, I needed a little something to finish off the evening.

It was just what I needed to fill the hole in my belly. The bread was nice and flakey, and chicken tasty. I might try another place tomorrow!

Food (5/5): Sadly they were out of all the crepe cakes which looked really good. The prices for the menu items were relatively affordable! Shaved Ice with Mango milk (+$1 upgrade for the face): For the pic, we upgraded! The features were edible. The flavoring was tasty! Ice cream with boba: This one was my favorite! The ice cream was rich, creamy/heavy, and coupled well with the boba. The boba was nested below the large scoops of ice cream so a little hard to get to. (I wonder if they make the ice cream in-house as their fridge was stocked with whole milk!) Black sesame with rice balls (hot): This was my least favorite but still good. Forward black sesame taste, more congealed than I would have liked, not sweet at all! With tip, the 3 desserts landed at $50.

Definitely worth a try

Upon first entry, my first impression was feeling warm. It was an open kitchen style and you can feel the heat of the oven. I do like the ease of ordering via self service kiosk. We ordered: Pineapple bun with egg waffle $10.70. I was disappointed to see that it wasn't cooked fresh. They were premade and warmed up in the oven. Egg waffle was crispy but not fresh. Pineapple bun top was not crispy but powder like. For $11 worth of egg waffle, I would expect better quality. Fresh lemon black tea: $6.75. E ordered less ice but still a lot of ice. Lots of fresh lemon flavor but lacking tea flavor. Coconut mango drink $8.75. This was ok. My kids like it. We sat down despite the store temperature was warm. The egg waffle was supposed to be the highlight of the visit but disappointing. Drinks are ok which the same quality can be found in other competitors. Unfortunately we have no plan to return.
