    Come early to get their pastries and buns for they sell out fast. Sometimes I get here by 4 PM and there are lots of cream buns left which are very popular. The roast pork buns go fast too. This particular Rainbow Cakes & Donuts are know for their cakes. See many people on the line ordering cakes and picking up cakes. Look forward to purchasing one of their cakes in the near future. I truly enjoy their buns and pastries for they are plentiful and so much to select from.

    I didn't visit this establishment but I was surprised with a cake from here for my birthday! Ordering process was super simple (according to my mother) and she went the day before to look at their options and place an order for next day pickup. Not sure the exact name of the cake, but it was half chocolate mousse, half chocolate cake. It was DELICIOUSSS. Not too sweet and the cake isn't the typical rich, dense chocolate cake. It is a lighter, spongier cake that balances out the richness of the chocolate mousse and ganache on top. Super happy with this cake! :)

    This Rainbow bakery location distinguishes itself from others around the area by offering more modern cake designs and mochi donuts. There are some standard Chinese bakery breads here, but the selection is limited as the focus is more on the sweets here (cake, donuts, swiss rolls, cream puffs, etc.). Food: The mochi donuts have a lightly fried exterior and chewy middle and are pretty good! I love that the flavors aren't overly sweet. So far, I've tried the fruity pebbles, churro, mango, biscotti/coffee, strawberry, and matcha flavors. They were all fresh and tasty. I am amazed at how well they replicated the strawberry Pocky flavor. It tastes exactly like the strawberry Pocky stick! Certain mochi donut flavors sell out quick and I kind of wish there was a way to reserve them in advance. There could be two people taking orders at once and the last donut of a certain flavor could be snatched up by the person behind you because they called it before you did or if their person worked quicker than the one taking your order. It was also unclear if you should order the donuts at the cash register or if you should just call out to a person behind the display counter (I've seen both happen). They have HK milk tea here and it's well made. Their cake slices are pretty good too. Definitely try a few! Ambiance: The bakery is brightly lit and clean. There is a small seating area at the back of the store if you wish to eat in. Location: So glad they opened a location at this spot. It is very convenient to get to as it is steps away from the Grand Ave. subway station and Q58/59 bus stops). Overall: Great bakery to go to if you are looking for some slightly sweet desserts or want to pick up a cake for your next gathering! :)

    Very cute bakery with lots of indoor seating. Their breads/pastries are so fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. Unlike most Asian bakeries in the area, they take credit cards. Things to try: black sesame bread, coconut bread, pork bun, matcha cronut. Can't wait to try their cakes next!

    Love that another Rainbow bakery franchise opened up in Elmhurst. This location is much bigger compared to the other ones I've been to in Queens, more spacious and there is seating in the back. They have a wide selection of pastries, cakes and buns. I usually go to the one across Queens Blvd, but will most likely be going to this location since it is more convenient.

    Many mochi donut options that all look fire!

However, the staff were also super warm and accommodating, and the quality of the items we got (gluten free vanilla and chocolate cupcakes) was great. The actual cake bases of both types were moist and flavorful. I could've gone with a little less frosting and more cake, but it made for a very aesthetically pleasing topping with the vibrant colors, sprinkles, and glitter. I kept getting strong hints of rose flavor from the pink frosting on the chocolate cupcakes so I'm not sure if they infused it with that. Overall, a great little spot, and really a savior for procrastinators looking for sweet goodies to take to a gathering when other last-minute ideas fall through!

I placed an order through her site and I got an email back the next day and we took it from there. Karen is so sweet and very professional, she contacted me confirming details of delivery the day before and she delivered the cake HERSELF the day of my birthday and gave me instructions on storage until the time of my event. Such amazing service! When I opened the cake I was blown away, it was absolutely perfect. Karen was so attentive to the details I wanted, I have this teddy bear I run an instagram for and she made him as a topper, it was SOOOO CUTE!!! On top of that, the dreamy design on the front of the cake was really beautiful. I ordered the earl grey flavor cake 6" petite, I highly recommend this flavor it was so delicious. Not too sweet and very flavorful, the buttercream was nice and light, slightly aromatic with the scent of tea. I'm SO happy I ordered my birthday cake from Karen, she's made the perfect cake in so many ways and I've fallen in love with her work. Definitely recommend!

    I love their cakes! My current favorite, which can only be found at their Forest Hills location, is…read morethe Dubai cupcake. It's absolutely amazing, and the filling is very generous--it feels like heaven in every bite. Another favorite of mine is the chocolate layer cake: rich, velvety smooth chocolate that isn't overly sweet. The only thing I don't agree with is that they do not clearly tell customers that dining in adds an extra $1 charge to each item. Yes, check your receipt. I'm expected to tip my waitstaff and also pay an extra dollar per item just because I chose to dine in. For example, the cupcake is usually $4.75 to go, but they charged me an extra $1 for dining in. Their cake slices are usually $9.50 to go, but I was charged $10.50. I also tipped 20%, so the added charge felt frustrating, especially since there was no clear notice. When I asked the waitstaff about the $1 charge, she said it was entered that way because I dined in. When I later called about it, the manager simply said, "Next time, just order to go if you don't want to be charged extra." That response was disappointing, especially since there was no visible sign explaining this policy, and their dine-in menu does not show separate pricing. I really think management should fix this to avoid misleading customers. Transparency matters. Don't get me wrong--I would still come back because their cakes are amazing, but from now on, I'll always order everything to go.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 6 Overall: 6 Many people seem to love this place, but it's simply too sweet for me. Over the years, I have tried many of their desserts since it's one of the only decent dessert options around the area. However, it would not be my first choice if I had others. With that said, my whole family and many of my friends all agree that their best item is the Berry Napoleon. That is the one cake that I do enjoy from this shop. We often buy a whole cake for a group gathering or birthdays. As for dining in, there's always a lot of people inside the store and it gets a bit loud. Not my favorite place to relax and chat with my friends. That's why I only buy takeout when I do get the Berry Napoleon. I think I do prefer the Astoria original location more.
