The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!

This is a staple bakery in Elmhurst that specializes in Strawberry Shortcakes. This bakery has…read morebeen around to more than 40 years and I remember growing up always having this for our family birthday parties. It has actually been a while since I've had it and my friend made a special request specifically for strawberry shortcake for her 50th birthday. Du Bois for the first place that came to mind. Took a quick look online from pics from previous customers and was surprised to see the number of different designs they can do now. I picked this pink flower one that the owner made out of fondant and it was so pretty and exceeded my expectations. There was no additional charge at all. Back in the days....40 years ago, there was one style I remember getting and it was white cream with strawberries. Now there's so many you can pick from. The birthday girl was so happy with the design. I ordered a 20 person cake. There were 2 choices-round or sheet cake. Round is $60 which is what I opted for since I thought it looked prettier and the sheet cake is $50. The round cake actually came out very tall but gorgeous. Harder to cut too since it was taller. The owner was so nice. He custom made the top of the cake box to make sure the cake fit and doesn't get damaged. The fresh cream on the cake is so good. Not too sweet and very light. Perfect with the strawberries. The cake part was moist and yummy. I forgot how much I love this cake. All the nostalgic memories of eating it when I was younger came back. Honestly, I think it's even better than I remember. And the price was so reasonable for such a beautifully decorated cake.

This is a typical Cantonese bakery that has a handful of locations in Queens. I've also been to…read moretheir Jackson Heights location, which is smaller. They have all usual items - bubble tea, sponge cakes, steamed buns, egg tarts, premade sandwiches, and more. I've had a few items from here and they were all fresh at reasonable prices. I prefer the larger Fay Da bakery chain, which has a much larger overall selection of baked goods. However, I will admit that Rainbow excels at offering non-bakery items. You can get congee, rice noodle rolls, and even a bunch of dim sum items (dumplings, beef balls, siu mai, etc.). You can easily pickup a lunch or dinner from here.

Came by this bakery curious to try some Filipino baked goods, honestly I'm not familiar, I've only…read morehad Jollibee a couple times with the general impression that their products tend to be on the sweeter side. Would love any good suggestions! On a weekend early evening around 5pm and they seemed to have most items in stock. From other reviews seems like they're known for their ube cheese pandesal, ube cake, mango cake, pan de coco and pork asada bun. I picked up a torte Cebuana $3.25 and pan de coco $1.50. The former tasted similar to a pound cake in cupcake-like form, sprinkled on top with fine sugar. The latter was a sweet bun with shredded coconut that tasted sweetened with palm sugar. It had a lovely fragrant coconut flavor and was tasty though a tad too sweet for me. The store itself isn't big, a pretty casual set up with seating for maybe 12-15 at cafe tables. The back counter is where baked goodies are displayed, a fridge on the right contains chilled drinks and full-sized cakes which looked made to order. On the left side of the store are some Filipino grocery items on shelves. Staff was friendly and helped answer a couple questions I had about ingredients, (or asked other staff what they didn't know). If I was in the area I'd come back to try a few other items.

She would have given it 5/5 but for me it was alright. I had better pandan cake and it felt like they used too much of the concentrate instead of fresh pandan leaves. You can taste the artificial pandan which I don't like. I would given it 3/5. Overall the presentation of the cakes is what drew me to come back. I would like to try the fruit cake next time.

Didn't stop there because I have no self-control: Berry marble cheesecake -- straight-up irresistible. Mille-feuille (Napoleon) -- aka "a thousand layers of don't ask questions." Flaky, buttery, rich... this was the victory lap dessert. Coffee? Top tier. Staff? Attentive, locked in, took care of business. Came for donuts. Left emotionally satisfied. Real men eat dessert.

We ordered chicken wings, french fries, and pork soup dumplings for our kids. For my husband and me, we enjoyed the pork combo, the crispy watercress salad and Batagor (fried fish cake, fried tofu, fried wontons and fried potato with peanut sauce on the side in case our kids wanted any). Our most memorable and refreshing dish was the Crispy Watercress Salad. Who knew watercress could be fried!?! lol We will definitely be ordering again next time as well as recommending to others. This dish was refreshing and light. Loved every bite! The pork combo was a combination of roast pig, sausage slices, fried slices of fish cake, etc. with rice and soup on the side. Easily the ideal lunch for one person or to share with someone! The Batagor was very fun to eat because it reminded me of fondue but with peanut sauce. I loved dipping the fried fish cake, fried tofu, fried wonton and fried potato in the yummy peanut sauce. This night was delicious and the perfect family dinner for us. With tax and 20% tip, total was about $145 and change. A little steep for family dinner but it was about right considering the raising cost of groceries. We considered it our New Year dinner. Eaton Cafe definitely gets two thumbs up from me and my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval! Happy New Year everyone!

They absolutely ran with it, creating a cake that was way more stunning than I could have imagined. It tasted so good too! Accommodation, service, cake quality, and price all get a solid 5 stars from me. They made the process so easy, and the result was spectacular.
