Located inside of Tangram, this food stall is a convenient spot for wheel cakes. I swung by here after dinner to try their red bean and custard wheel cake as well as their strawberry lime sparkling drink. I thought that it was both okay. I wish the wheel cake had a bit more filling and was a bit less bready. I also felt that the drink was very heavy on the syrup and overly sweet.

Great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! Absolutely devoured my money cake! Staff was also very friendly and helpful when helping me choose what flavor I wanted. This is also located in the mall on the upper floor of the food court!

Absolutely the best Imagawayaki filling I've had anywhere, such a light crispy shell and generous portions for filling. Definitely try as many flavors as you can as they are so fun and different. Taro pork floss is probably my favorite but the corn cheese, Ferrero Rocher, Thai tea with boba and red bean were also delicious. Service was friendly but it's hard to order on the electronic screen.

Friendly staff and easy pickup in the Tangram food court! Haven't tried their famous cakes sadly but got their Osmanthus Milk Tea which was quite good. I got lowered sugar (50%), but the drink was still quite sweet so I may go even lower next time. Will have to try their cakes in the future! In terms of ambience, it's located in the food court, so you have to prowl a bit for seating, but is generally a nice spot with restrooms nearby.

This is what we used to eat in Taiwan, so the warm cakes with taro, red beans, and custard bring tears to my eyes. Not too sweet and made fresh. Awesome. Must try.

This little cakes were a pleasant surprise. The top and bottom cake part is crispy and has dare I say a little crunch to it. I thought that one of the fun things here is that you can choose the filling that's inside. I ordered the classic custard one, along with a mango custard cake. The service was very quick, all of about five minutes or so as the attendant prepared the cake batter fresh and cooked it right in front of me. This place is located inside of a small shopping mall and there's ample seating nearby. The cakes were delicious and the custard was perfect consistency, almost like a firm pudding, but not too thick at all. I can't wait to go back and get some more!

Very unique spot in flushing! I picked custard but want to come back to try taro and other flavors. The person making each order repeatedly for hours is amazing. He needs a raise! There a lot of large to go orders and the bubble tea is pre made. I want to try the taro slush when I have the calories! Seems like a family business which is nice!

Potato, cheese and bacon money cake

3.5 stars, interesting concept - freshly made egg batter mini cakes that are circular shaped to resemble money. Like golden coins. They smell and taste good but the fillings can be hit or miss. There are sweet and savory varieties on the menu. But they do not travel as well as I had hoped. I was not going far but as the counter person advised, these needed to be consumed within 30 minutes. I can see why. Two of the three cakes I bought, actually separated before I got to my destination. It literally was not closed. Top and bottom were two separate pieces. I don't think it was supposed to do that. It was my Oreo custard cake. Still good taste wise. - Taro money cake remained intact during transit, it was slightly crispy on the outside (edges) and soft on the inside and towards the center of the cake. The taro was a creamy texture. Very good flavor. - Potato, bacon and cheese was my savory option. It was savory indeed. It was almost a mashed potato center with bits of bacon and cheese. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be smoother or more texture. Either way it was savory. No complaints here. It was fun to try this new version of cake. I'd return to sample other flavors but the pricing is a little steep for the size. It is another novelty idea. But I might stick to waffles or egglets for this price point.

Thought was just okay. The custard I wish was a bit sweeter and the mango more mangoey.

Cute packaging  I got a Oreo custard cake

When I got to the location they didn't have much of a selection at the moment . I ended up going with the Oreo custard cake it was so warm with a nice and soft Oreo inside . Such a great end to a meal we had earlier . First time ever at tangram mall and I loved it just wish there was more stores

I love wheel cakes/imagawayaki and was excited to see this stall opening up. The only other stall that I know of is Bearin Wheel Pie in Landmark Quest Mall. There is a 25% discount with Yelp check in, which they honored. The service was quick and friendly. I did not wait more than 5 minutes for my order to be ready. I wanted to try chicken pesto, but they ran out of all the savory flavors (it was ~5:30 PM on a weekday), and I was informed that they might be switching out the chicken pesto for the chicken corn flavor, so get it while you can! The Matcha Red Bean had a crisp exterior with black sesame on one side, which added some extra flavor. It was packed with filling. The matcha was light in flavor (not even a hint of bitterness), so it was a bit overpowered by the red bean. The Custard with Mini Taro Balls had a decent balance of thick creaminess from the custard and soft bounciness from the mini taro balls. Flavorwise, it was not sweet, though could use more custard flavor. Not my personal preference. I only opted to get this to replace my savor choice since this was marked as a best seller. I do like that the exteriors stayed crisp (I took these home so they were eaten about half an hour later). Overall, the custard-y fillings could use more flavor. I do want to go back to try a savory wheel cake, but the sweet fillings are not for me.

Matcha Custard Wheel Cake: $3.60 ($3.92 with tax). Cut in half. Soft opening price.

BLUF: OK; the better of the two dedicated places to get Taiwanese wheel cakes in Downtown Flushing. Money Cake offers variations on Taiwanese wheel cakes -- pancake-like batter shells shaped into 3-inch diameter wheels, with sweet or savory fillings. We visited Money Cake's stall during their soft opening, when their prices were discounted by 20%. We ordered: - Matcha & Custard ($3.60 soft opening price; $3.92 with tax): lightly flavored, like most Chinese desserts. The custard was lightly sweet, and the matcha didn't seem to have bitter notes. There was a pumpkin (?) seed in the custard / matcha mix. - Potato, Cheese, Bacon ($4.20 soft opening price; $4.57 with tax): this tasted like a knish in wheel cake format, due to the reconstituted potatoes, and was saltier than the other wheel cakes due to the bacon bits. - Matcha & Red Bean ($3.60 soft opening price; $3.92 with tax): this was the most flavorful of the three wheel cakes we tried. Money Cake does a few things better than its competitor Bearin Wheel Pie: 1. Money Cake has smoother custard fillings. 2. Money Cake's wheel cakes use a larger diameter for fillings -- about 3 inches versus about 2.5 inches. 3. Order fulfillment is much quicker, because Money Cake has a larger team. Money Cake's light custard flavors may be amenable to East Asian audiences, but a broader audience might want more flavorful custards. I would like to see the option for a stronger matcha flavor, for example. Overall, it feels like Money Cake falls slightly short of expectations set by the phrase imprinted onto each of its wheel cakes: "一分錢一分貨", meaning "you get what you pay for." Getting a knish might be more cost-effective than getting Money Cake's "Potato, Cheese, Bacon" wheel cake. I'm not sure I would try Money Cake's upcoming pizza series, since it might be cheaper to get an actual slice of pizza.

Soft opening right now, 20% off all wheelie cakes! Prices go up at the grand opening on April 6, when there will be a ribbon cutting. But I heard there may be other discounts. I've tried a few of their flavors at the first day of their soft opening. Unfortunately wasn't impressed. For supposedly upscale wheelie cakes, they need to level it up even more. At $5, regular price, it didn't seem worth it. Flavors were just too muted. Their much touted custard was rather flavorless. I guess it was vanilla but wasn't sure. Nice and creamy but rather bland. Matcha was definitely not for matcha lovers because I could barely taste the distinctive bitter tea flavor. As a matcha lover, I would pass on this. For an upscale wheelie cake, I expected more. The best cake was the old fashioned red bean flavor. Final note: These are probably best eaten right away, while they are still warm and crispy. Hopefully they will fix the flavor profiles of these cakes and make them worthy of continuous visits. If you like their logo. There are t shirts and stuff, available for purchase.

Downtown Flushing, Flushing

I can't believe I've never reviewed Spot. This is one of my favorite dessert places to go. And if…read moreI'm in Flushing you best believe I will be getting something. My absolute favorite is Golden Toast, I say to myself I'm going to try something new and never do because I can't stop getting Golden Toast. I have gotten others but I still go back to Golden Toast. The service is always good. Today I tried the raspberry lemon soda & it was really good.

Flushing has its own rhythm. The horns, the rush of people catching the 7 train, lines forming for…read morelate-night snacks like stinky tofu -- it's busy, loud, and full of life. And tucked right into all of that energy is a little dessert haven that feels like a reward at the end of the day: Spot Dessert Bar. This place holds a lot of nostalgia for me. It brings back high school hangs, college nights, and those spontaneous "let's get dessert" moments that somehow turn into full conversations over something sweet. Recently I brought a friend visiting from New York back here, and it felt like revisiting an old favorite. Yes, it can get crowded. The wait can be a bit long, and the space fills up quickly. But honestly, if you've never waited for a table at Spot, you're missing part of the experience -- standing there with the menu, debating which dessert to try, watching the beautiful plates come out one after another. The menu is playful and creative, full of Asian-inspired desserts that feel thoughtful and a little indulgent. We ordered a trio of churros -- matcha, chocolate, and red velvet -- which were crisp, warm, and perfect for sharing. The Spot Dessert Pot is always a must, layered and comforting with just the right amount of sweetness. But my personal favorite remains the golden toast: thick, buttery honey toast topped with whipped cream and strawberries. It's simple, classic, and somehow unforgettable every single time. You can tell these desserts come from a place of creativity. Iron Chef Ian Kittichai's influence is clear -- these are plated desserts that feel both playful and refined. The ambiance is cozy and modern, a small café that feels like a quiet pocket in the middle of busy Flushing. Soft chatter, people sharing desserts, phones coming out for photos -- it's the kind of place that naturally creates memories. Some places are trendy for a moment. Spot is one of those places that stays with you. A little sweet tooth here goes a very long way.

But, this spot hides a really cozy space to enjoy some desserts with friends. Service here is pretty quick, and kind. I got their soy milk shaved ice and it was so good. The shaved ice was light and it tasted exactly like soy milk (which I love). It also came with cheese foam, ice cream, and mochi. It was the perfect dessert that wasn't too heavy or sweet. Would love to come back to try some of their other items.

Looking for a late night dessert place? This would definitely be the spot to go!…read more Whenever I am in flushing and have a sweet tooth but everything has already started to close, I always find myself at this location. Not only are they opened later than a lot of dessert places that I have found in flushing but their desserts are also great! This time around my friends and I got the Fresh Coconut Pudding with Golden Crisp Rice and it did not disappoint. Firstly, the pudding in itself was not overly sweet but had a strong coconut flavor. The texture was perfect in the sense that the pudding wasn't too hard inside and the golden rice crisp was a delicious finish on top. It added a nice crunch to the bite and also gave like a toasted coconut feel when tasted together with the pudding. The second thing we got was like a durian mango sago. I am a big fan of durian so I really enjoyed this dessert. The durian was perfectly sweet and custard and the mangos were sweet but tangy giving the dessert a little more depth. Although I only got two desserts this time around, I do want to point out that their shaved ice is not something that you should miss out on either. I have had many of the flavors and have never been disappointed. It is super fluffy and milky and just melts as soon as it hits your tongue. It is something that I order majority of the time that I dine in (they have a big variety so I just switch it up). The experience at this dessert shop is always great and since they have a call button for whenever you need a server, it feels a little more intimate and private!
