    Roast Durian bread
    Michelle O.

    The shop has cute cakes, and there were lots of different fillings for the breads. There were several tables with cute wooden chairs in the back half of the shop. The restroom is clean and spacious. The roast durian bread was unique looking as it had a toasted top. I picked up the order at 1:55pm on a Thursday, so maybe that's why the bread part was slightly dry. It tasted okay with the durian cream. The Taro paste and mochi egg tart with pudding was different from what I'm used to seeing in Houston, so I decided to give it a try. I ate it later in the day and really didn't enjoy any of it. The shell was thick and had the texture of a pineapple tart. The egg pudding part had a very light flavor profile. The yellow color made me think it'd taste more like egg custard. The taro paste was thick and chunky. The mochi part was thin and runny. It didn't taste like anything. It probably would have tasted better heated. The contrast of thick taro, thin mochi, and delicate egg pudding was too jarring for me. They didn't come together and create a yummy flavor for me. The staff seemed nice.

    Coconut mousse

    The egg custard tart had mochi in it which added a nice bounce to the bite. Flavor was quite good as well and paired nicely with the crust. The coconut mousse was very nice, super creamy and flavorful. Nice treats.

    Soybean milk cake, taro meat floss cake, green grape jasmine cake
    Michelle G.

    I was looking for a place to get cake for a special celebration and saw this online and was so pleased by the exciting flavors they had. The prices were also way more affordable than other bakeries and they had a lot of different sizes, so I was able to try three different cakes. I got the soybean milk cake, green grape jasmine cake, and taro meat floss cake. People absolutely loved the cake and everybody voted for different ones as their favorite, but the overwhelming winner and my personal favorite was the soybean milk cake. Green grape jasmine was my second favorite and the number of second highest who people called it their favorite. Taro meat floss was my least favorite although still good and some people still said that was their favorite. My brother also tried the blueberry yogurt cake and said it was yummy but had a bit much cream and the flavor was more in the cake. Online pickup was pretty easy.

    Since I've discovered Shakalaka, it has been my go to when I'm out of ideas of what cake to get. They have so many unique cake flavors and very nice looking cakes. I love how they so many options for their 4" cakes. Shakalaka is always on my mind. I never really had a bad experience with the flavors. The cakes are premade fresh so it's been a great last minute resource for me.

    Shakalaka bakery I love! I really like the Chinese desserts and sweets here and it's probably one of my favorite bakeries in Flushing. They offer really fun and delicious flavors here with their pastries and cakes. The prices here are also really good. Their bread is also really good. I tried the Japanese crab meat bread, Coconut cream bread, and their egg sandwich which I loved! They tasted delicious and they were also very filling. The ambience is modern and clean. The line moves quickly. However, it can be hard to find a seat here and it can get very busy. It's best to grab your pastries and go. It is also near public transit, and the train. I will come back here again to pick up a cake from here, the prices are good and the flavors are also good. Price:$8.75 Rating: 9/10

    Mango Fruit
    Lucy Y.

    I've been watching so many TikTok's of people in LA eating the fruit pastries and I've vern craving one so bad. I really did not want to go all the way to salswee in the city to get one, so I was so excited that shakalaka carried their mango fruit! It was definitely worth the hype. Such a pretty dessert, amazing crunch factor, and my favorite part was the mango coulis on the inside. It was $12 for a small pastry, but definitely worth the try. I would get it again as a treat!

    I do not have a sweet tooth and usually dislike cakes, especially really creamy ones. With that said, this bakery had perhaps simultaneously the most delicious and most beautiful cake all at once. It looked like something out of the world of Totoro and all his animal buddies. The texture was a perfect balance of soft sweet + crunchy chocolate bits. It was so good that we went to check out the physical store and service / ambiance matched the beauty of the cake.

    Pork floss taro cake
    Annie W.

    A Chinese bakery serving a variety of pastries and cakes! We got the pork floss taro cake. The cake was a sponge like cake - super soft and springy. Inside were layers of taro cream that were not too sweet. The entire cake was covered in a generous portion of pork floss. A delicious unique offering and the flavors melded together perfectly. The line moves quick and be sure to know what you want before you get to the front of the line. Have not tried their other bakery items but would get the cake again!

    The banana, just okay with chocolate filling, but the details are beautiful
    Michelle L.

    The desserts here look beautiful! They have a nice little dining area in the back and a clean bathroom. The staff is very friendly Their milk tea is not bad, but I tried to ask for less sugar and they said they couldn't adjust it. The mango pastry is my favorite and it is worth the high price point. I tried the banana chocolate and although it looked gorgeous, it was just okay. We also tried the coconut one and a pineapple bun. I will be back to try more!

    Mango pomelo 4inch cake $17
    Shelley L.

    This review is solely for their cakes. I first encountered these cakes during my birthday party and I immediately laughed when I saw the name of the birthday. I love catchy names like this. There were two 8 inch taro cake and oreo strawberry cake. Both had great presentation and were beautiful. To top it off, all I kept hearing was "good, not too sweet," which as we know is complete approval for Asian families. I love the abundance of toppings for each cake. They did not skimp on taro filling or oreo and strawberry. We liked it enough that we went back to try a few more of their cakes. One tip is if there is a cake you really want, place the order online. They only have a select number of cakes in store on display and in the fridges behind the counter. I ordered the 4 inch mango pomelo sago cake. It's a very delicate cake. As soon as you rip the plastic off, it starts to sag. This wasn't bad as a cake but it's probably the one cake I wouldn't get again from this bakery. It was $17 for a 4 inch and about $38 for select 8 inch cakes. Prices are good as your typical Paris Baguette and chain bakeries prices are climbing.

    Despite the influx of newcomers, this is still one of my fav bakeries in Flushing. I love the fact creative cake flavor options, not your usual fresh fruit with cream cake that you get in other Chinese bakeries here. There are so many different options. I also love the size, perfect for 2-4 people without worrying about leftovers. The breads here are pretty great, some fun and unique flavors.

    I got all the available fruit mousse pastries and while it was pricey, i really appreciated the detail and flavor of each pastry. The mousse was light and naturally fruit flavored; each pastry had real fresh fruit. The mango was my favorite though the mangos had a bite to them as if it wasn't in season or ripened enough. Still, it was my favorite and I give it full points for flavor and texture. The chocolate exterior gave a good crunch on every bite. The bakery itself is clean and has nice lighting. I would recommend. The cashiers speak primarily Chinese so that's something to take into consideration but they do also speak English. The staff were friendly and efficient.

    Pistachio Christmas tree Cake

    Pistachio Christmas tree cake was delicious. Not too sweet, not too big, and everyone dug into it. It's sooo pretty too. Definitely am interested in trying other bakery items of theirs

    New, fresh, innovation, exciting, entrepreneurial. These are the words that come to mind when I…read morethink about this place with a surprisingly plain name. The lady who I assume is the boss said she had held a pop-up shop about two years prior which blew up, hence what we see here. The selection here was deceptively small compared to chain bakeries, but it didn't take us long recognise how much power the smaller selection packs and, actually, how the selection really is not small at all. The matcha red bean loaf grabbed my attention straight away and didn't disappoint, but their red bean bun was just as impressive, as it's a more bread-y counterpart to the fluffy versions other bakeries typically have. The onioissant is definitely experimental and worked better on the chive bacon cream cheese one than on the pollack roe, which was a bit too much on the salty and fishy side for my liking. Their chocolate horn is at least twice as big as a typical one you'll find at other bakeries and has a rich dark chocolate filling which was a pleasant surprise. Their coffee brioche pastry was another hit, thanks to the strong coffee filling and delicate layers of pastry. There's ample tables and chairs, beverage menu, and I'm sure we'd come hang if we lived closer. I can't wait to go back.

    Been wanting to try this dessert shop/cafe for a while (those viral videos helped). They offer…read moretraditional Cantonese-style desserts & some hot foods in a cute modern cozy cafe setting. I got the ($14) Pandan jelly with Mango & Durian (sago pearls & coconut milk). I ordered it to go thinking the dish would be too big to finish, but it's actually very light and refreshing, and not heavy at all. There were diners there sharing one large shaved ice and I assumed most of the dessert soups would be just as big. But usually Chinese desserts are not overly rich or heavy. The staff said that they could switch out the Durian for extra mango, but they were nice enough to pack a little bit of Durian on the side for me to dry - and no! The whole dessert doesn't smell like durian. Everything was packed extremely well - the liquid was in its own little dispensing pouch. Very nice attention to detail. Pandan is an herby vanilla flavor from Southeast Asian. I think The noodles were made out of rice flour? It was like a soft creamy pudding thick noodle. You can easily scoop into them alongside the mango, coconut milk, sago pearls. Every part of the dessert was very fresh and not too sweet! Had to control the late night snack, and save the rest for the next day. Don't think this kept well, there was a lot of liquid that seeped out of the tapioca pearls or noodles (delicious pandan flavor still!)? But it still wasn't too stiff the next day. Excited to try as other items like the ginger, milk, pudding, but I think I made an excellent choice with this dish, and the price point seemed high at first, but each ingredient to be made fresh on the same day. I'll be back! Curious about the hot café foods too.

    I tried the durian mango coconut pudding, the taro with mochi dessert, and the ginger pudding and…read morethey were all bangers! Flavor profiles were hitting in all directions I didn't know which one to pick as my favorite! Durian mango coconut pudding - Durian wasn't overpowering at all and the mango shined in this dessert. The mango was nice and sweet, yet tart, soft and not at all unripe. The durian bits were creamy and custard-y, while the coconut pudding served as the perfect base for the dessert. Light and smooth Taro with mochi dessert- This was a taro sweet soup and had the consistency as black sesame soup. The taro was potent and the aroma was very prominent. The mochi was nice and soft, yet chewy. I was not expecting to like this one as much as I did. Ginger pudding - Utterly delicious. The ginger flavor and taste was insanely strong and the pudding was jiggly soft. Not too sweet and almost tasted spicy in a sense from the ginger. Super solid pudding. I'd come back just to get this again honestly.
