    Love getting the cakes here as they're not too sweet. I usually opt for the strawberry matcha cake or the taro cake. A full sized cake is like $42. The decorations are super cute, and the flavor is light. The matcha cake doesn't taste much like matcha at all, though, but I couldn't care less. The strawberry part is light and slightly tart. Highly recommended for an Asian taste palette!

    Popped in Friday night after a bike ride to flushing and had a delicious lychee yakult and my friend loved the ube croissant. Would love to try the Labubu raffle if you spend over $35! The staff was great and very helpful. Spacious area.

    Sweet Cake has the most beautiful cakes, delicate egg tarts, and a dreamy variety of pastries - everything looks almost too good to eat. From the flaky layers to the rich, colorful details, every bite is a little piece of heaven. Spend $35 & enter to win a Labubu! Follow me @foodie.elite on IG and Tiktok for more.

    I definitely like supporting a local business when possible. It's even better when the product and quality is good! The small bakery had some nice surprises. The space is ample with enough seating and nicely decorated as well. The pastries that they have look very modern, but have a traditional essence to them as in Asian bakery... They're still very delicious and not too sweet. My favorite thing that I got was the ube puff. It was flaky like a croissant with a fluffy, creamy filling that was just the right amount of sweet for me. The staff was very friendly and quick on their toes to make sure to get everyone's orders just right and out in time. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

    Good - nice seating area. Friendly servers. Nice looking bakery items. Acceptable - quality of cake and drinks are decent but have had better and worse. Need improvement- bakery selection Went to meet a friend. No pressure to leave so can hang out a bit. Hot drinks can be a bit hotter.

    I heard about this place because of a special promotion they were running for their 3rd anniversary. If you spent a certain amount, you could get a raffle ticket and potentially win a Labubu, and the first 5 who do, are able to get a guaranteed one! I figure, I love sweets, and I don't HAVE a labubu yet, so why not right? :3 I came by and got 3 slices of cake (the Strawberry Sweetheart, Double Layer Chocolate Cake, and the Summer Lemon Pistachio) as well as two pastries (Strawberry Danish with Almond Cream and something just called the Grilled Cheese) and was able to play the raffle where I won a free drink, choosing the Lychee Yakult. Aesthetically speaking the cakes are very pretty and the packaging holds up which is nice for when you have to commute back home with them ( I live near Coney Island for reference). Strawberry Sweetheart: I think the balance of strawberry cream to the cake was handled well. A bit more strawberry forward in terms of strawberry than a strawberry shortcake with a hint of rose to it I believe, I detected some floral notes to it, which were understated but present and delightful. ------------------------------------ Double Layer Chocolate Cake: I will say, when something says Double Layer Chocolate Cake, I'm kindddd of expecting it to be a burst of chocolate flavor. This isn't too heavy handed, which I know some people would appreciate, but I'd love for them to pile on the chocolate flavor! ------------------------------------ Summer Lemon and Pistachio: I think the lemon flavor compliments it well, just wish the pistachio was also a bit stronger, it is Summer Lemon and Pistachio after all! The flavor combination is a good pairing though, tart+ citrus with the earthy nuttyiness of pistachio. ------------------------------------ Grilled Cheese: Okay, when I asked about this, they couldn't REALLY tell me more about it which I thought was funny lol. Tastewise, it kind of tastes like a gooier egg tart, one which the center isn't as baked through. It tastes good! And the pastry shell, I will say is very crispy which is a great plus but it didn't really come off as Grilled Cheese haha. ------------------------------------ Strawberry Danish with Almond Cream: Just a well executed strawberry with pastry cream danish. The cream has good flavor and pairs well with the strawberries, and they do their pastry shells VERY well here I've noticed. They're super crispy and not a hint of sogginess to it, even when holding all that cream inside. ------------------------------------ Lychee Yakult- perfect as is. It tastes a bit like yakult+ lychee boba which is great, well balanced and you can taste both flavors which lend to the overall drink. ------------------------------------ The cherry on top was the free Labubu with my purchase ( I ended up getting Loyalty) but overall, the baked goods they make here are quite good. It's a little off the main shopping street in Flushing but not too far. These cakes are basically made for the quintessential Asian who often doesn't like their desserts too sweet. I will say, I'm kind of the antithesis to most Asians though, I have a huge sweet tooth and I would love to see a bit more Western flavor profiles mixed into some of these cakes, whether that's denser cake, sweeter creams, or more out there combinations on top of the pastries they have now!

    I recently visited @sweetcakenewyork, and I have to say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish and prices are reasonable. I tried the unique Taro Mochi Croissant and it was outstanding. The croissant had a perfect balance of flavors and a flaky, buttery texture that melted in my mouth. Everything tasted fresh and clearly made with care. Matcha Cranberry attracted my attention so I decided to get it. It was fabulous. Everything was delicious and it is hard to pick just one. I love that they have my fave flavors, Matcha, Taro and Ube. This place is a hidden gem (or well-loved local favorite), and I'll absolutely be returning. Whether you're after a quick coffee, a loaf of artisanal bread, or a decadent dessert, @sweetcakenewyork delivers on all fronts.

    This is a cute café/bakery on Northern Blvd. right off of Main Street. They have a few tables inside for those who want to dine in. I thought the desserts were a little on the pricey side and I saw one dessert with a price point of $11.99...yikers. Considering, I can get a slice of cake nearby for around $8, it may not be the best value here. I found the service was friendly. Their selection of desserts seemed limited but perhaps it was because of the time of day which I went - around 4:30p. They also didn't have a menu posted up anywhere where I could study their drinks to decide what I wanted. I had to decide the minute I got to the register because that was the only place where they had a menu! The double layer chocolate cream cake was good but the purple cream puff was not my favorite....tasted a bit like matcha cream which is usually a bit too chalky for my liking. One thing I did love was the clear/transparent cake boxes they had for people who bought whole cakes....so nice to be able to see the cute designs of the cakes!

    Taro Vanilla Cake and Hot White Peach Oolong Milk Tea
    Will N.

    Everything is as pretty in person as it appears online! The Taro Vanilla cake nails the "sweet but not too sweet" flavor. Very natural, I would say, and tasty. It is nearly $10, but as I was eating it, it did feel larger than I had anticipated, so I wouldn't mind getting it again or trying another flavor. The Hot White Peach Oolong Tea is a light drink as well. I wish it stays warmer for longer though. The ice definitely cools it all down, but I'm not sure if that's my ordering mistake. The cafe ambience is perfect for a study session or friend catch-up during my Sunday evening visit. The service isn't the most hospitable during my time and the main, if not the only, reason I'm not rating 5 stars.

    Boba ube cream puff
    Linda W.

    Sweet cake is a very clean and nice cafe. They have big clean tables and also tons of outlets. The girl who helped me was super nice and attentive. She did not rush me and let me explore. It wasn't busy at all, but she was very welcoming. Prices are decent and desserts are delicious. I took off one star because the cake fell apart in transport. The cake is mostly soft cream so it's very easy to fall apart. I loved the way they boxed the cake. Maybe next time I get different cake that's not as delicate. The cake was very good. Their desserts are beautiful and tasty. Not very sweet which I prefer. The creampuff wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The filling tasted more like taro filling than ube. The shell was crunchy but tasteless. Next time I'll probably try their other cakes.

    Been coming back to get their cakes. Probably the best in flushing! It's a Taiwanese owned bakery with the lots of delicious baked goods, gotta try their egg tarts. You would be surprised.

    Ube Brown Sugar Mochi Cream Puff
    Lonnie K.

    Space wise is relatively big for a cafe in Flushing. About three blocks from Main Street/7 train (still not too far away) to say the least. Right across the street from Flushing Town Hall. Best of all, it's a very short walking distance for me from my home to Sweet Cake. Staff will immediately greet you as soon as you've walked through the door. That fridge display of vibrant cakes and delicious cream puffs is just so mesmerizing to look at, wondering to yourself what you should order and chow down. Has quite a lot of seats in the seating area on the side and towards the back where there lies a very clean (I mean spotless restroom) for customers to use. Love that there're plenty of outlets to charge your phones/devices either underneath the seats or on the wall. Ambiance wise is very warm and homey like an outdoor patio with wooden seats and tables. You order at the front and then they call the # on your receipt, sometimes the staff might even bring you the tray of treats to where you're sitting. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. You can sit for hours without being worried that you'll be shooed away. Extremely fast service from very friendly staff. They accept Apple Pay besides credit/debit card and cash. Price wise ranges from moderate to expensive depending on what you decide to get like a sliced or whole cake. I have ordered an iced brown sugar boba milk tea (tried asking for no ice to get my money's worth but then staff said it would have been just milk foam....so no, you can only get it with less ice if you really don't like ice in your drinks...epic fail). Accidentally forgot to adjust the level of sweetness while looking at the delicious cake display, so turns out that I've ordered it with 100% sugar instead of half the amount in the end. It is in a huge plastic disposable cup though, so at least you'll get lots of sips out of the drink. Even without full sugar but because there's the brown sugar syrup, I think it's already sweet enough. I'll have to remember to adjust the sugar along with the ice level when I go back next time. Love their qq-textured boba, it's been cooked to just the right amount of chewiness (not too hard and not too soft or slimy). Also got an ube brown sugar mochi cream puff and a sesame earl grey chiffon sliced cake. Moving on to the taste test, the crust pastry of the cream puff is far too soft for me. In other words, it crumbles up way too easily imo. I didn't even use a lot of pressure (just by holding it gently) and the crust already cracks/falls apart. Therefore, I think it would be a good thing to improve on the texture of the outer crust. However, I truly admire the rich and creamy but not heavy ube filling of the brown sugar cream puff. Additionally, it's not overly sweet either which is a huge plus. The sprinkling of the tiny mochi pieces have added the perfect final touches to the cream puff like a cherry + icing on top. Other than the crumbling texture, everything is great on its own. As for the rectangular sesame earl grey chiffon sliced cake, there's a lot of aromatic sesame flavor in between each of the evenly-layered sesame cream filling. You can see that they've also added edible gold flakes as decor + as the highlight on top of the cake. It's not very overwhelmingly sweet unlike the desserts from typical American bakeries. I feel like all the sweet treats from Sweet Cake would be great to pair off with a cup of coffee for a quick treat, as desserts or for a cheat day breakfast. I mean, you gotta treat yourself once in a while lol. Can totally see myself going back to this cafe more often now from time to time whenever I'm not off to Manhattan and staying in the Flushing area. Sweet Cake is certainly a hidden gem! The sweets are creative, delicious, and visually stunning. Plus, their desserts have that perfect balance of flavors. Definitely a great spot to satisfy your sweet tooth! Until next time!

    I stopped by here on a Saturday evening at around 7 pm and I was absolutely charmed by the place! It was very spacious and quiet, with a few people studying and some chatting. I was greeted by a sweet lady behind the counter and took a look at all the cakes and pastries, which were all very aesthetic and had unique flavors! I bought a sesame basque burnt cheesecake ($~11) and a strawberry yakult cheesecake (~$11). Since I bought two cakes, I was able to get a free smoothie, so I ordered the mango yakult smoothie. I took these all to-go and they provided the cutest bag, which both cakes packaged individually and securely. I tried both cakes when I got home, and really enjoyed the flavors of both! I liked the sesame cream and the mochi bites on the sesame basque cheesecake. The strawberry of the strawberry yakult cheesecake was fresh, and the cake itself was very light, not too sweet. The mango yakult smoothie was also delicious, though it was more of a slush than a smoothie since it was pretty icy. I saw they had an ube cream puff but it was sold out when i was there, so I plan on come back another time to try it! Plus, it seems like a sweet study spot with lots of space and outlets.

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.

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.

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.
