    Roast pork bun and coffee.
    Emm C.

    Two coffees and a roast pork bun for less than a 2 coffees at Starbucks. I'll take this place any day. Some may think the coffee is weak but I like it smooth like this w no sugar. This is one of a few dwindling chinese or canto bakeries. When I was younger I could down pineapples buns double-fisted but now I just watch more fit people order them. Coffee for me, bun for me pops. Service varies. When I guess the right dialect to use and it matches my server they're nice. When I don't, I get a mean look and the same coffee but often w a side eye of disdain. Average ambiance for a bakery: Get in and get out. This ain't a place to loiter and take up seats for hours. It's small w 3 of the tiniest lowest tables you ll ever see.

    Cheesecake
    Ashli A.

    Cute shop, sweet workers, milk tea and pastry were just okay. This was my first time stopping in Flushing, Queens. In walking by, I just had to stop inside this adorable shop. The walls are lined with pastries that I'm sure are yummy, but I had a taste for something else. I ordered a milk tea that was way too sweet. There was so much syrup and it was impossible to finish. I attached a photo. Then, I ordered the "tom & jerry" cheesecake which is completely adorable and artistic in design, but underwhelming to taste. It didn't really taste like cheesecake. I attached a photo of this as well. Also, they are a "cash only" business. So you either have to have cash or zelle, which I found inconvenient.

    I purchased a wheat bread with healthy oats and seed as toppings. The bread is pretty soft, but not sure if the oats as topping make sense. The flavor of the bread is decent. The bakery had a lot of variety.

    Amazing customer service. Great quality baked goods. I purchased a cake and some baked items for my sister-in-law's birthday. The total came up to $44. This included an 8in rainbow cake and various bakery items. Will be going back.

    I love going to this bakery because they have a lot of items that you don't find in other chinese bakeries. Things like: blueberry walnut chocolate bread (one of my faves), mexican pineapple bun, chocolate pineapple bun (has a nice crust of sugar over the top) and in-season things like for Chinese New Year they were selling peach longevity buns with lotus paste and New Year themed items that were artfully decorated and so cute! However, they do lack sometimes the things that you might go to a chinese bakery for - for that, you may be better off going to Fay Da or something else. They do have pineapple buns though which were just fine (mine was a little dry unfortuantely) Come here and pick up an item you wouldn't think existed in a chinese bakery! The novelty items seem to have better quality than their regular bakery items sometimes. They also have choux buns and other cool things in the display case at the cash register so don't forget to look there. Wishing this place all the success!

    If you frequent Flushing, then it's no surprise to find a bunch of different Chinese bakery options. There are several chains that have been around for quite a while and are staples. Rainbow Bakery is a much more recent addition but now even has 2 locations (this spot opened up first) in Flushing. The shop is pretty unassuming from the front since there are so many stores next to each other on this street but inside the decor is very simple and clean. We started coming here since it was close to another store we frequent and it has now become a regular stop along the way for my family. Bakery breads are great for a quick snack or breakfast, the two pictured are my most frequent buys: a pineapple bun and their hot dog bun with scallions. They have loads of others to choose from and if you go in the morning/early afternoon, you'll see them refilling the front with more from the back so you can tell they're fresh (once they sell out for the day, that's it, so it's best to go earlier too). While it wouldn't be what you'd think of first, don't knock some of their dim sum options. It may not be the same as getting it off of a cart in a restaurant, but they're great supplements to meals when you're busy during the week. We get the spare ribs with black bean sauce and the sticky rice with chicken wrapped in lotus leaf and they're pretty easy to reheat. Avoid the Mexican bun with pork floss (a bit hard and not so tasty) but otherwise be adventurous and try out their other breads! Definitely stop by if you're in the area. A quick snack for a reasonable price.

    Rainbow Bakery was recommended by my friends who are super picky with Hong Kong Style pastries and their favorites were the Red Bean Mochi and Egg Tart. We visited with high expectation but the options were limited on a Sunday afternoon around 3:00pm. Hence, we brought home pastries we didn't really want. Their pastries were overall delicious, so we might visit again to give them a second chance.

    This place is one stop shopping! It's a good place to stock up on lots of dim sum without breaking your bank. They have a bit of everything. Dim sum, congee, soy milk, pastries etc... No need to go to multiple shops for everything. On the menu: Dim Sum: shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp chive dumplings, shumai, beef ball, bean curd roll, sticky rice, turnip cake Little box lunches (hop jiay fon): dishes like black bean spare ribs over rice Steamed chicken bun Big bun (dye bow): combo of pork chicken egg sausage bun Egg yolk buns Chicken bun Famous Guangzhou rice noodle rolls (pork, shrimp beef, or combo of two proteins, or fried dough stick) Cold and hot drinks: soy milk, hot chocolate, purple yam, red bean slush, bubble coffee, HK milk tea, strawberry yakult, etc. Also of course lots of pastries! Dim sum. Prices are cheaper than the main dim sum places. Tried shumai and shrimp dumplings. Good but average. Order dim sum from the cashier on the left. She will take them out of the steam cabinet behind her. Some dim sum like shrimp leek dumpling is fried fresh so there will be a slight wait after ordering it. Pastries I've tried are ok to good, but could use a bit more filling in some. Check out the sweet or savory buns in the refrigerator, sold by the bag. I'll be back to try some other foods. Everything is pretty fresh with a stream of people coming in and out of here.

    Custom cake menu options

    Overall great job. I like that you can order some "dimsum" in the back and they even have hup jai fon. You normally find these in old school Chinese bakeries in Manhattan, Chinatown. Now I know where to get a quick rice dish in a pinch! I also ordered their specialty cakes here. It's not bad but you are subjected to only what they offer... I tried to customize and they said they were not able to work with my vision. Pricing isn't too terrible since cakes are all so expensive now. If there's any room for improvement, I'd say they should put more fresh fruit into their fresh fruit cakes ... it was only a handful.

    The Rainbow Bakery (雲寶餅屋) chain recently added to their Downtown Flushing presence with a new location on Main Street, near Northern Boulevard. Rainbow offers a wide variety of baked goods and drinks, and a basic dim-sum selection. We tried a few buns and cake slices, such as their Matcha Salted Egg Yolk Bun, Red Bean Pineapple Bun, Custard Mille Crêpe Bun, Blueberry Square Cake, and Matcha Red Bean Cake. While some were interesting in concept, many were light in flavor. We tried a few items from Rainbow's dim-sum menu -- beef balls, shrimp dumplings (蝦餃; Ha Gow), pork and shrimp dumplings (燒賣; Siu Mai), and steamed spare ribs. All of these items were noticeably smaller and more modest in execution compared with their equivalents from dim-sum restaurants mere blocks away. Besides breads, buns, and cakes, Rainbow Bakery could be an option for those interested in a basic dim-sum selection, as the prices here recall a time when dim-sum was inexpensive.

    Boston cream cake, Black Forest cake
    Dipali G.

    I tried the cakes: the Black Forest cake and the Boston cream cake and both were very good! The Boston' creme cake was particularly delicious. The garlic bread is good as well! Prices: reasonably priced - $3.50 for each cake slice

    Trying new bakery every time we come to Chinatown. Rainbow bakery is pretty good. Lots options for savory and sweet. Also have cakes and bubble tea!

    This was my first time to try the taro bread here. It was pretty good! The bread was soft enough, taro was so smooth! Have already figured out what to eat next time! Also clean space and friendly service.

A court injunction barred the US operators from using the brand's trademarks, forcing a viral rebrand to "? Tea" in New York. Headquarters' Allegations: According to court documents, the corporate office revoked the operators' trademark rights after claiming: - Unauthorized Expansions: The US operator opened a Los Angeles location without prior corporate approval. - Unapproved Ingredients: The franchise was sourcing ingredients independently, violating strict corporate quality and recipe standards. - Hiding Profits: Headquarters accused the operators of voiding their contract by allegedly hiding store revenues and bypassing royalty payments. The Franchisee's Perspective: The US operators disputed the claims. Before the courts stepped in, franchisees alleged that corporate HQ had attempted to aggressively renegotiate the ownership equity, attempting to slash the operator's share from 80% to 30% after the US locations proved highly lucrative. Current Status & Rebranding: Due to the legal injunction, the affected stores were forced to scrub the name "Molly Tea" from their storefronts, uniforms, and delivery apps. The operator complied by covering up the logos and using hand-drawn question marks on cups, quickly earning the nickname "? Tea" among fans.

The Sun Moon Lake Black Tea - refreshing, cool, and not too sweet. I liked it. Two orders of egg pancakes - for each order of 5 only one flavor, and they told me 10-15min for them, so waited.... 31 minutes. Terrible. The drink I saw was done in less than 5min.... and sat there warming up on the table while they made the egg pancakes. They couldn't just give it to me? -sigh- Also, for whatever reason, they make drinks and put it on the table, but don't have someone consistently checking that the order(s) are done and so some orders literally sat completed and people were waiting around all crowded in the storefront, and finally several got the attention of the staffers in order to show their numbers and point out their drinks were done... left some of the customers pretty unhappy at both the ordering and pickup stage for the lack of someone consistently working. The plastic shield also blocked audio so that made it harder to order because it was hard to hear the staffer clearly. The egg pancakes were ok - custard I felt were better than the taro, but others like the taro more.
