Love that there's a Win Son in Manhattan now! Ive been wanting to try this bakery for the longest time. I stopped in as a post dinner treat and there was still a decent selection of baked goods. I really liked both pasties I tried, super tasty. Highly recommend! read more

Win Son is so good. There is lots of seating both inside and outside. Service was quick and they bring your food to your table. We got the bec scallion pancake and the mochi donut. The sauce they give along with the scallion pancake is really good too. Also love the ambiance at this bakery. Lots of plants inside with the aesthetic of an Asian bodega. Will be returning! read more

Win Son Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

This place is pretty viral online, so I was really excited to try it out. Unfortunately, it came in way below my expectations. The inside of the bakery is cute with a good amount of seating. There was no line when I arrived on a Thursday around noon, so I ordered right away. However, it took me a long time to get my food, and several customers that came in after me got their food before me. When my bacon, egg, and cheese scallion pancake finally arrived, I was disappointed. Firstly, the scallion pancake was slightly soggy rather than crispy like I would have expected. Due to the floppiness, the sandwich started to fall apart. The best part of the sandwich was the dipping sauce that came on the side. Without the sauce, the sandwich wasn't very flavorful. I probably won't be back to this East Village location, but I might go give the original in Brooklyn a try. read more

Win Son is a unique fusion Taiwanese cafe, with a big selection of both savory and sweet pastries. The egg and cheese scallion pancake was so good, it's fresh and crispy. I also loved the sauce that came with it. The fan tuan was also really good, with pork floss and egg inside. It's mostly self-service, with lots of tables. It can get crowded, but people come and go pretty fast. It's very casual inside. read more

Checked out the new location of this bakery in the East Village after being a regular at their original Williamsburg shop. The new spot has the same cool menu, but I think the Williamsburg location edges out a bit in execution. Tried the Millet Mochi Donut here, which is definitely the standout--unique texture and really different from your typical mochi donut. The Red Rice donut is a staple I've had before; good, but not as memorable as the millet one and doesn't stand out much compared to other donuts in NYC. My favorite bakery item has to be the Pine Nut Sun Cookie. Even though it's not mind-blowing at first bite, I honestly just keep reaching for it and snacking without even realizing as I chat--kind of addictive! The vanilla cream bun, however, was underwhelming. Prices are on the higher side, but that feels fair given the creative flavors and limited options for this style of bakery in the city. Popular in Brooklyn and seems to be picking up in the East Village, too. We could easily find a table for our group of five in the afternoon, but there are definitely times when you'll see a line out the door read more

The chicken sandwich is the truth. Food came out relatively quickly, they bring you the food and there's an area with cups/utensils/water pitchers. It's a bit pricey for what it is but I fully enjoyed the sandwich, the spice was delicious and reminded me of a pho. The fries were solid, crispy with a nice little sprinkle of spice. I think I would return as a splurge or another date. Ambience is beautiful with lots of plants around read more

This place is really busy! The food is great though, the scallion pancake was overrated but the rice ball (Fan than) and soy milk is really underrated. The prices are very reasonable and there are a lot of seating. Note: you have to order and wait in line to be seated. It's not like a regular cafe where you just sit when you see free seating. I'd come back again for brunch. read more

The red rice donut is heaven. Mochi donut is great. Pork fan tuan was great, the scallop BEC is overrated imo. Good coffee. Lots of seating at this location and beautiful interior. read more

Love this spot. Go to order is bacon egg and cheese scallion pancake - it's really filling. I usually only eat half and save the rest for later or split with a friend. The sauce they give you is addicting. The fan tuan is also incredible. Plenty of indoor seating. read more

Been wanting to try for a long time. Came on a Wednesday for lunch and didn't have to wait in line. Ordered the scallion pancake egg and cheese and enjoyed it! Wish it had some more veggies or something but it was delish and the sauce was amazing. Yum, I def need to come back and try the pastries. Definitely greasy which I didn't love but yummy and unique. read more

It was my first time at this location. I went to the brooklyn location a few months ago and was so happy they were opening up in Manhattan. My friend and I had breakfast here. I told my friend we had to get the Bacon, egg and cheese on a scallion pancake. Sooo good! the place has seating indoors and it is clean. The tables are on the small side and a bit close together. I will be back again for more BEC sandwiches! The service was good and the staff were friendly. read more

I love Taiwanese food so this review is biased. I can see the hype around this place. The chicken sando was so good and the scallion pancake is so different than what I expected it to be but so so good. It's thick. It's cheesy. It's meaty if you want it to be. Both were great but if I had to pick, I would choose the chicken sandwich. read more

Heard SO much hype around this place and I decided to check it out once I realized they opened a store in Manhattan! I ordered 3 of their most famous dishes for delivery, so I can't comment on service or ambiance. - BEC scallion pancake: 5/10 (I had so much hope for this sandwich but.... It was just plain greasy and soggy and heavyyyyy. The sauce added to the heaviness of the dish, but at least it cut through the oil taste and made the sandwich more flavorful. It was so oily that I could still taste the oil throughout the day. Would it have been better if I had eaten it fresh, in store?) - Mochi donut: 7/10 (I liked the chewy mochi texture. But as someone who has had a lot of mochi donuts in Asia, I'd say this donut is just ok. Not too sweet, and you can really taste the rice flavor.) - Fan tuan: 5/10 (I don't know if it's because I didn't eat it right away, but the pork inside the rice roll extremely hard. Also it wasn't that flavorful-- I could mostly taste the rice and egg.) Overall, I was pretty disappointed. Hopefully the experience in-store in the Brooklyn location is better, but the delivery experience in the East Village location was not it. read more

Came here to pick up a quick brunch. Had the Double Smashburger which was ok but I liked the Fried chicken sandwich so much better. But the true winner was the Custard Toast. Omgggg I could eat like 5 of these! It's an absolute must have! If you pass by just get it! You will not be disappointed!!!! read more

Winson Bakery has been on our list of places to visit for a while, so on a day off one Thursday we decided to drop by. There was a line, but lucky for us it was not out the door. There is seating, but you need to order and get a number before you can find a table. We ordered take out. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Scallion Pancake ($16) - I thought this was okay. I wish there was a more prominent scallion pancake flavor, but that sauce they pair it with is delicious! San Beiji Choppd Cheese Scallion Pancake ($21) - This one comes with fries and similarly I couldn't taste enough of the scallion pancake flavor. However, the chopped cheese was so good. Pork Fan Tuan ($7) -- I enjoyed the different textures of the fan tuan. Stickiness of the rice, flaky savory pork floss, and crispiness of the Chinese fried doughnut. Lu Rou Bao $11) - The exterior was like a croquette and there was a good amount of filling the somewhat justify the price. My partner enjoyed this more than I did. I think the filling was a little too mild in flavor and I just prefer the traditional Lu Rou over rice. Winson has become a go to spot if I'm craving fan tuan or a San Beiji Choppd Cheese Scallion Pancake. read more

I understand the hype. My boyfriend wanted another NY bagel for brunch, but I convinced him to try Win Son and we loved their take on the BEC. Pricey, but big enough to share. They were also running a promo so we tried the custard toast which was surprisingly delicious. It definitely gets busy on the weekends, but we came at around 10 and found seating. read more

Win Son caught my eyes on insta a few years ago, and I'm so glad I remembered they had opened a Manhattan location when I was near Union Square. I really liked their sun filled, open, and natural feeling space. Service was wonderful--order at the counter and plop down where you'd like. Plenty of space inside + they have a small sitting area outside as well. Their entrance is accessible. I thought I would order the bacon egg and cheese scallion pancake I had been salivating over social media for years, but as it was evening time, I decided I wanted something less breakfast. After asking for recs at the register, I went with the "xia" (shrimp) scallion pancake. And man oh man, that thing was HEARTY and plump. I had been warned. It was packed to the brim with shrimp and complemented nicely by the havarti cheese and notes of ginger. Crispy shell, warm, 10/10 comforting. Please note the menu says "deluxe" and so I assumed it may have been accompanied by the fries I was seeing on some plates. It was not. For $19 you get a massive scallion pancake that's perfect for sharing with another shrimp lover. I felt like a champ eating about 75% of it. That said, I would have loved something to go along with it. There was sooo much shrimp in there, that something light, like a salad, would have broken up the monotonous bite a bit and made the dish feel less heavy. Baked good looked well crafted. Selection wasn't huge at the time I went (after 7p) but not getting the last toffee chocolate chip cookie still haunts me and I want to go back for it. Also want to try their drinks. A good first visit. Next time will bring friends to share and try more items! read more

I'm a fan of Win Son because it combines familiar flavors in interesting ways! I've been to their Williamsburg location as well as their prior Manhattan pop-up location several times. So glad that they opened a permanent location in Manhattan! The jiu cai chives scallion pancake is by far my favorite item on the menu so far. The hype is all around the BEC but yall are sleeping on this savory gem!! The chives and vermicelli are well-seasoned in a soy-base sauces and it actually works with the melty havarti cheese! The scallion pancake is able to soak up all the sauce and pack all the flavors together. I also got to try their shrimp burger. While the shrimp patty featured fresh and juicy shrimp, I felt like the burger itself lacked a "central" flavor profile. The mayo-base sauce temporized the tartness from the pickled veggies. I wish I had some extra chili oil to add another layer. The sanbeiji chop'd cheese reminded me of the three cup chicken I grew up eating, but I wasn't expecting minced chicken (even though it was in the name lol). The chicken bits were on the drier side for me so I wished there was some extra sauce. Loved the basil leaves and spices tho! The space itself is cute with a good amount of seating and natural lighting. I appreciated how the menu was very clearly displayed and how food came out at a reasonable time. Next time, I look forward to trying the jujube or five spice latte and other savory/sweet snacks! read more

This is the only place I've ever had a fried egg added on Fantuan, which already makes it stand out. The scallion pancake with shrimp patty was pretty good--crispy, savory, and well balanced. The dojang was nicely frothed, which was a great touch and added extra depth to the flavor. Definitely worth trying if you're ordering from here. read more

Unique take on Taiwanese food. I got the BEC scallion pancake, which was very good and honestly tastes SO good as leftovers after it cools down a bit. The havarti cheese slaps. Wasn't a big fan of the fan tuan flavors :( they're also super small. Loved the red rice donut, such a unique fermented flavor. I'd definitely come back to check out more of the menu read more

Top line: decent but over priced for what it is. Note: this review is for delivery only. We ordered the scallion pancake (BEC), two bakery items, and the rice roll. Overall the pancake was good but didn't warrant the price. In taiwan, this is considered street food for $6 each. It was slightly greasy but most Likely better when it's fresh and hot. Its shelf life is prob around 20 minutes before it becomes a bit soggy. The donuts were very mid and the date cake was a bit too sweet. Overall, I would get everything fresh and not for delivery. May try it again in the future if I am in the area. read more

So it was good but waaaaay over hyped. The fan Tuan lacked flavor but was cool. The BEC was really good but super oily. I didn't feel great after eating it. I want to try the original location but this felt really watered down from other spots of I've had with similar foods. Maybe I need to try it again! read more

There has been so much discourse on Win Son, both good and bad, on social media that I really didn't know what to expect walking in but I had fan tuan on the mind and had to try it. It didn't disappoint! It was so delicious between the cruller, the meat floss, and the pickled vegetables. Sweet, savory, chewy, crispy, all in one. So satisfying. I could eat this every day for breakfast. The millet mochi donut was also excellent. It was still warm and had a wonderful glutinous texture. The atmosphere is very bright and trendy. I appreciated how much seating was available on a weekday morning. I definitely want to come back and try one of the milkshakes and the rest of the menu, as it all looked so good. read more

We've only ever gotten takeout but it's a favorite spot for us! As a gluten-free girlie, I love that I can have the breakfast sandwiches with a mochi bun. INCREDIBLE. Though I will say very heavy. Can't usually eat it in one sitting but by the afternoon it's all gone! Love the millet mochi donut too... My wife likes the scallion pancakes but her favorite is the pork fan tuan! read more

The beloved Win Son bakery is finally in Manhattan! I loved the Williamsburg location so I was very excited to visit their new one in the East Village. The space is bigger with lots of seating available when I came around 6 pm on a Sunday. You order and pay at the register and then they give you a number to take to your table, and will bring out your food when it's ready. I got the pork fan tuan and red rice donut. I LOVED the pork fan tuan. It was the perfect combination of textured and flavors and I highly recommend trying that one. The red rice donut was interesting--I found it denser than most donuts but it was still delicious. I'll be back next time I'm in the mood for the scallion BEC. read more

I came here right when it owned at 8am on a weekend, and there was no line. The staff was nice, and I thought it was very considerate they have pitchers of tap water and glasses. The scallion pancakes are very tasty and worth the trip. They're also a good size for the cost. read more

The food was good overall. The scallion pancake is worth it, the smash burger is small and not really worth it. I like the black sesame latte as well. My friend said the pastry is alright, nothing to rave about. The line is long so expect a 20-30 minute wait. They are getting three stars because of their table system. You get a table based on luck. If when you order, there is table available, you'll get one. If there is no table available, they will make your order takeout. My order was takeout but the two people after me got a table which makes no sense. What if I want the option to wait and get a table? The system seems unfair, they need to revisit this as soon as possible. I suspect they get a lot of complaints. I eventually got a table after speaking with the manager. read more

This place has great food and drink, and a really cool theme. My only complaint--I came in on a weekday morning, and they were truly BLASTING music. Which is odd, because 6/10 customers seated had noise canceling headphones on, and were trying to read or journal. I get the music during the dinner/bar hours, but wayyyyy too loud for a cafe in the mornings. read more

Win Son has a buzz about it! And rightly so. My dad and I shared the BEC (bacon egg and cheese) scallion pancake with the perfect dipping sauce. My dad's favorite was the millet mochi donut and I loved the pork fan tuan. The sweet soy pork is flossy and the perfect textural crunch with the you-tiao in a rice roll w an egg! I wish I bought more fan tuan to-go for city searching snacks later in the day! The line/table ordering makes sense and set a great vibe for a mid-day bite. I highly recommend the Apple Sidra soda if you've never tried it- grand pairing with the bec. The line moves fast enough, try Win Son! read more

Ate at Winson Bakery in their LES location for lunch today! This Taiwanese cafe is decorated very simply in matte, neutral colors. It gives off a casual and uplifting vibe with the bright sunlight shining through the windows. There are a few seats and tables, so it may be hard to find a seat right away being it is very busy. Ambiance rate: 6.5/10. My boyfriend and I ordered... 1. BEC Scallion Pancake: This dish had good flavor and a generous amount of bacon. The scallion pancake was also very soft and delicious. Rate 8/10. 2. Jiucai Scallion Pancake: This dish was extremely tasty and had an exquisite flavor! All the ingredients mixed well together in this pancake. With all the fillings, the pancake was messy to eat being it didn't stay put together too well. Rate 9.5/10. 3. Fan Tuan w/ Pork: This small bite was amazing! The pork had a wonderful taste, and was super crunchy. Plus, the egg and rice was wrapped very well, making it easy to eat! Rate 10/10. 5. Big Chicken Box: This box contained 3 pieces of chicken and fries. The chicken was generously doused in a delicious sauce (imperial glaze). It was also perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The Five Spice + Cayenne Fries had a great, spicy flavor to it. Although it could've been crispier, they were still good. Overall rate: 9/10. The staff were friendly and helpful. The service was slightly slow; it took about 30 minutes for our food to be ready. Service/staff rate: 7.5/10. Overall, I am so thrilled I was able to enjoy this scrumptious Taiwanese cuisine, and I would definitely come back here again! read more

Came in on a rainy day for a light lunch since there was no line. I usually see a line out the store. There was a short line at the register when I walked in but moved fairly quick. There is a sign to order before seating. I wasn't too hungry so got the fan tuan. You can either order with tofu or pork floss. The cashier then rings you up and gives you a number placard where you can go seat yourself. Water and food are bought to your table. The fan tuan was good, the crueller was crispy. I loved that they had egg inside which I've not seen before. Very tasty. Seating was packed but turns around pretty quick. Have to come hungrier next time to try more of the menu and drinks! read more
