Love getting boxes of these for my family and for any gatherings. They're sizable and can easily be cut in half and shared, but I can also easily devour a whole one myself.

Stopped by for an afternoon sweet tooth fix, as this was nearby. I was excited to try their mango…read morecoconut sticky rice drink, since the one on 8th ave tasted great. This location was a disappointment. The mango they used specifically on this day, tasted very old , it had no mango taste and tasted a little foul. ($7 wasted). The egg tart was hot and fresh but their 8th ave location is definitely better. This location is bigger, with a lot more seating. An area in the back if you want to get some work done also.

Also bought a crab meat sandwich. Total was $5.25. Paid $6.00 I was too in a rush to stuff my bread in my bag and walked away without looking at my change. After stuffing it away, I was short changed. Only noticed I had gotten $0.25 back. I know ... it's only $.50 but it's still my hard earned $0.50. No receipt was given. Couldn't even argue for $0.50 back. There was no excuse to short change anyone. It was not busy and nor was there a line. Definitely count your change before you leave.

This chain of Chinese bakeries are famous for their egg tarts. Though the custard is plentiful and…read morevery creamy, I just can't appreciate their crust. Overall, a decent egg tarts, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have them. If I'm in the neighborhood, which is more rare nowadays, I'll likely stop in for one.

Mine: sesame ball, red bean and custard pineapple buns, crispy hotdog, scallion hotdog, red bean paste bun, triangle cake, fish sandwich. Expect subtle sweetness on most of the other pastries, but no sparing of quality. Their cakes aren't quite my style (I'm looking at you, "tiramisu"), but their caffeine-based bevs are wonderful and should also be sampled.

This is a new cafe(?) that opened recently. I saw it pop up on social media. I was just in the…read morefront area so I don't know if there's seating or something else in the back. The front area is half of a small bakery with a smallish display of various desserts and cakes. There's many different 4 inch cakes of different flavors ranging from $10-$15. They're so cutely decorated too! I would love to try them sometimes. Hopefully the taste matches their appearance. I came specifically for their drinks. They're from the brand Neaves that is located in the same storefront. I ordered off Fantuan and tried their pomelo avocado and kale drink. I want to preface by saying that I probably should've tried the drinks in their original form (100% sweetness) but in my attempt to be healthy, I opted for 30% and 0%. While I thought it was an okay amount of sweetness. It definitely made the drink go from a sweet treat to a health drink. My friend on the other hand, thought it was not sweet enough. Honestly would it taste better with more sugar? Probably. I'll say you can go 50% and up. Maybe even try the full 100% sugar. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my kale drink - it was blended with kale, mango, chia seeds, and barley. The barley actually made an interesting topping with its texture. The avocado pomelo was just ok but maybe with extra sweetness it would be ok.

This is a new business that just opened up this past week. We stopped by as we were curious. Upon…read morefirst entering it looks small and seems like a take out spot but as you walk further in they have seating. They have a self service machine ir you can order in person. The staff was friendly and super helpful. They serve teas, pastries, skewers, open face sandwiches and so many fun items. They also tmhave the option to do karaoke ($20 pp for 1 hr) and you can even use the space for a small party if needed. I got a few items and was given a few as promotional for their opening. Strawberry Matcha 4' Cake ($10) 5/5 delicious and worth the price. It has fresh strawberries and a sweet matcha flavor Blueberry cup cake ($4 received as a promotional for spending a certain amount) 5/5 surprising. I didnt expect the boba in the middle of the breading but it was such a good surprise. The cake is light and not crazy sugary which makes it easy to eat. Lemon Green Tea ($4 promotional was BOGO) a classic drink and they mash the lemon and lime so you can get all the flavors. 4.5/5 could have been a bit sweeter Beef skewers (2 for $5) 4/5 good but needs a little more seasoning Saugage skewers (2 for $5) 4/5 wish it was a spicy saugage but still good.

We got a frozen mango coconut and frozen watermelon coconut which tasted good, but wasn't frozen. It just had little pieces of ice in it. Would I have it again if I was in the area? Yeah, but probably would try other stuff. It was packed inside, but even though there were a lot of people, you can still hear the people on your table. It's not loud like some places are.

Didn't taste well either, clearly not fresh and disappointing compared to last time with the same exact order. Also tried something new: the ovaltine toast. It was alarmingly small and didn't have as much flavor as was hoping. The place was also not crowded late at night but the server seemed annoyed/bothered when we requested to sit on the couches and coincidentally a bigger table for 4 when we had 2 even though we had bags. Overall the food quality definitely decreased and service not as welcoming. Definitely still a solid place for classic HK dessert but definitely with well deserved competition in the area.

I've been coming here for cakes as a long time customer. I didn't even know their name is"Best…read moreBakery." Definitely not the best for their bread since it is very competitive in 8 Avenue the mini Chinatown. What is good and has me coming back is their Chestnut birthday cake. As for Chinese cream cakes the chestnut flavor is my favorite and in "Best Bakery" they make it very fresh and I can't find any other bakery with the same taste, not even Dragon Bay Bakery, the more popular chain bakery in this community. From childhood until my late teen years I have been getting their cakes. The smallest size is 6" I believe and also order in advance for it to be freshly made. Also making it into a certain shape will be charged extra. Personally I do not like anything else from here other than their cakes. They are just like any other bakery but with not as much choices and they do have cakes too but the times I have gotten it wasn't as impressive as the preorder cakes.

Light, eggy, creamy--all the components I strive for in an egg tart. Coming here from now on for those egg tarts!
