I work at the hospital one block away so I buy breakfast at this bakery almost everyday. The buns come out fresh and hot around 6:45 each morning, however, I usually come earlier that. The guy told me to come back later for the buns. One day he actually made the buns earlier for me. Buns, cakes, and pastries are all so yummy. The stuff here are very different from your typical Chinese bakery (it's Taiwanese). Cakes are light and fluffy, buns are flavorful. Although they do have a smaller selection than most bakeries, overall, it's the taste and quality that really matters. One con would be that the coffee is not as strong as I would like, but not a deal breaker. There are so few chairs in there and no real tables for you to eat on. Lines can get long and the bakery is very small. read more

Im disappointed! Ive always recommended this place to family and friends. Saying that their cake is light, fluffy, and fresh. But recently I got a green tea cake and you can definitely taste that it is a day old cake. Probably cause I got the cake during morning hours (10:30am) but still...dont damage your rep with keeping those day old cakes and selling it for regular price. Now i have to ask when the cake was actually made before purchasing. Btw the boston creme pie is not shown on the menu or in the photos cause it was in a cooling rack in the back but its $17 if anyone is interested. read more

Great cakes, exceptionally tasty whipped cream! Also available in individual slices and wide variety of Taiwanese pastries.

Across the street from NYHQ now NYPresby Queens. It is on Main street and if you are driving, good luck with street parking but definitely worth it to stop in here. This Taiwanese bakery is the best! I grew up celebrating with these made-to-order fruit in the middle fluffy melt in your mouth pound cake birthday cakes because the cakes that are displayed for purchase do not come with the fruit in the middle. You have to ask for them and the baker will gladly assemble one to your liking while you wait outside. They have been around for YEARSSSS...and their selections fly off their shelves. It's a small place but a real hit among the neighborhood. The cakes come in different sizes and flavors but the more popular flavors (strawberry, green tea, and taro) sell out quickly. If you give them a call a few hours before closing, they may accommodate and bake a fresh cake for you to pick up before closing. And they also take special requests and make cakes for larger groups which often happen with Asian family gatherings. These guys are known for their airy pound cakes, flaky pastries and cream pies. The cakes are squishy and soft with just the right amount of cream filling and cream frosting. The pastries are pretty awesome, but the cookies not so much. These "traditional' cakes are faves among the older generation of Asians because its not too sweet and each bite almost melts in your mouth. Although it is very common for Asian households to have several cakes at an event, I used to resent having one of these cakes at every single gathering but now....it brings back memories and I sometimes crave the strawberry with fruit cakes. read more

My husband LOVES this authentic Taiwanese bakery. The chicken rolls are our fave and we love the pineapple cakes (as close to the real thing as we've found so far). We love it so much that we ordered our wedding cake from Yeh's! The order process is super easy and they only need a weeks notice. Being the type A bride that I am, I ordered about 3-4 weeks in advance with Vicky at the bakery. They are cash only and you need to provide your own flowers for décor the morning of or the day prior. Delivery to LIC from Flushing was an additional $40. We wanted a rustic yet simple cake and decided to order a sample version for my mother's birthday since Yeh's had never created such a cake. We were satisfied with how it turned out and proceeded to order a 3 layer (chocolate and vanilla) cake plus an additional sheet cake to feed 150 guests. We paid $350 plus $40 for delivery for an all in cost of $390. The day of delivery was quick and because their frosting is whipped cream, it had to be refrigerated until cake cutting time. The cake was amazing, light and not super sweet. And the design turned out better than we imagined. Super happy and definitely a repeat customer :) read more

Cakes are awesome. Their version is boston creme pie is like chinese pound cake with whipped creme. I wonder what it would taste like with some chocolate over it. The green tea and strawberry cakes are good too. Order for birthdays and special occasions. The only down part is cash only. They also make birthday buns. read more

Green tea cake is so heavenly! I asked why it was more expensive than the other flavors and was told that they actually import the Green Tea Powder from Japan! Ordered one on Thanksgiving Day and it was so fresh and delicious! I also love their strawberry cake! They come in a roll size, too. Not incredibly expensive at all. Best Chinese/Taiwanese Style bakery in Flushing, hands down. The shop always looks the same and is incredibly clean for something that's been there for so long. You can see straight into the kitchen and this bakery's standard of cleanliness is significantly higher than, say, TaiPan Bakery. read more

This is the place to go to buy a cake if you're going to a party or dinner filled with old Asian people. A 100% no frills place, but don't expect the cakes here to be cheap either. A 10" Green Tea cake with fruits will cost you $45. Considering what kind of ingredients are used to make that cake, they are charging a hefty penny for it! I must also say, the past few times I've been here, the quality of the cake has taken a dip. The cakes were a bit dry and did not have the same texture as it did from a few years back. read more

I have revisited Red Leaf Bakery for this review to speak about their lovely mooncakes. I strayed from Yi Mei Fang this year as I wasn't hearing any raves from family who had previously bought mooncakes a few days before and that fortified my decision to try Red Leaf Bakery this year. I'm so glad I did, as the mooncakes are heavenly bodies and are absolutely the stars of the show. The mung bean with fried shallots and pork sung filling is fragrant, sweet and savory and everything good encased into a flaky white pastry that is actually made of 2 different types of dough, water dough and oil dough. These are larger than the Taiwanese ones with flat tops, and printed with a pink design to mark the different fillings in the mooncakes. The Taiwanese mooncakes with yolk centers are divine too. They are smaller in size and they too are flaky, the crust slightly harder and either filled with red bean or lotus paste. They are round in shape and yellow with a shiny coating of egg wash. They also have mooncakes filled with prune and date filling, which I did not try. I got one Cantonese mooncake for $5.00, because that's all they had, and I wanted to try it. They even excel in that as it was delicious. Even though mine was yolk-less, the golden brown coating was soft and tasty, and the lotus bean paste was fresh and fragrant. It isn't overly sweet but it is rich. One box of Taiwanese mooncakes with twelve pieces costs $27.00. I will definitely be back next year. A word of warning, either come early or place your orders for mooncakes over the phone. They start taking orders as early as two weeks before the mid-autumn moon festival. They recommend you call to find out. They have an order form but it is written only in Chinese. You can describe what types of mooncakes you want. Most of the girls understand English. Also bring a huge, long shopping bag to carry the goodies away as they don't seem to have bags that fit these long boxes. Lastly, because they are a small bakery, all the manpower is centered on making mooncakes, so you will have to live without some of their regular baked items as the shelves and ovens are all occupied with everything mooncake. I am convinced that Red Leaf Bakery can do no wrong. read more

I am absolutely in love with there Boston cream sponge cake. I have tried there Cantonese and moon cakes they are underwhelming. Do not recommend otherwise there cakes are on point and not too sweet read more

After many years of coming here, I still love it. I've tried green tea but my favorite is still strawberry. I also love their Boston Pie when I'm in the mood for something different. It's just as light and equally delicious as their cakes. If it's a holiday you might want to reserve in advance. I walked in for for a cake on Mother's Day and the line was out the door, down the block. read more

There's something about this Bakery that makes it stand above the rest of the ubiquitous Chinese bakeries that dot Queens--and that something is their Green Tea Cake. A Cake so popular that to guarantee one, you must pre-order it. Although the filling and icing is fairly standard amongst all Chinese bakeries, the sponge cake is a wonder to behold. So fluffy and elegant, the cake is enough to make you question whether you want to return to American-style cakes ever again. A close runner for 1st, the Strawberry cake has the same consistency and angelic flavor. Both are cakes that warrant the attention this bakery has continued to receive! read more

I love the cakes here! They've been raising their price a lot tho over the years, I usually get the green tea or strawberry cake, their boston cream pie is also pretty good. I think the best part about their cake is the cream, it's so light and fluffy and not overly sweet, perfect for my liking. read more

Have loved Yeh's for years. Their cakes are so light and airy and their whip cream is to die for. Their Boston cake is so good as well. I know some of the older generation will only eat moon cake from Yeh's, so that's saying something. read more

Probably one of the Best Chinese Bakeries in NYC!! Their Green Tea Cake is the best in town!!! Spot on! Super light, super fluffy not too sweet, balanced amount of cream and a dust of perfection! Each bite is like taking a bite of Heaven! Exquisite flavors and texture. I know there's tons of other items that people are raving about from here, but I can't help but get their Green Tea Cake every time I'm here. Don't miss this place, try it out soon...it's absolutely worth taking the trip! read more

This place is cash only and they sell out of stuff quickly. Go early if you can. I have two favorites in this place...the strawberry cake and the boston crème pie. NOT your traditional American style cake. These cakes are Chinese style made - the cake is light and airy. Very fluffy and the cream is super fresh. I haven't tried much else in here because I don't get to frequent often but apparently this place has a cult following. Like I said, go early or forget it. Things fly off the shelves and don't bother trying to buy it at close to closing time. You'll be lucky to find anything left (cake wise). They do sell traditional buns, egg tarts, and cakes like other Chinese bakeries so that is likely what they will have left. read more

Affordable, delicious, wonderful customer service. Will buy future cakes here! The bread was very fresh too!

Growing up being exposed to more of an asian palate, my sister recommended me to try the sweets here. Everything is really good! Light, fluffy, and easy to eat. The boston cream pie was my favorite! read more

I've been here a few times and usually stop in when I'm in the area. I saw the rave reviews on yelp and tested the waters. The green tea is to die for, its light and fluffy and not too sweet.I am not a pie fan so I didn't even bother trying their infamous Boston creme pie. I did try the strawberry cake and it was okay. They also have this drink called guava juice in the can that is really good. Its definitely a spot to check out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

It really doesn't get any better than this. Way more than just your typical "chinese bakery." They deliver some quality cakes at some pretty low prices. I've had the green tea cake here multiple times and every time was just as good as the last. Consistently delicious cakes - great flavor that's not too over powering and the cake itself is light and fluffy. I've also had the boston cream pie and it's starting to grow on me and become my favorite cake. Even lighter and fluffier than the green tea cake and not overly sweet. The cream in the center is delicious and there's a good ratio of cake : cream. If you need a cake that'll satisfy everyone and not break the bank, you've found the right place. Yeh's Bakery is delicious and unbelievably cheap! read more

Their cakes are the best. They are light, fluffy, not overly sweet. Green tea cake is incredible. Perfect for a special occasion. Cash only.

I've hunted all over flushing for the best asian cakes and over the years I never cease to go back to Yeh's cakes. Light fluffy but with flavor! The owner specializes in cookies and cakes and pastries such as the little sponge cakes or the tai yan bing (sun pastry) or lau pau bing (wife pastry). the bread is just ok but you go there for the desserts definitely! as a taiwanese, i love this taiwanese owned shop ^_^ read more

Nice little pit stop if you're ever around the area. Everything is light on sugar so the sweetness is just right. Staff was friendly and everyone was encouraging safety precautions. I really enjoyed my stop here and will definitely come back again soon read more

Got the Boston cream pie and the taste is consistently delicious and fresh! However the price tag of $17 per pie is outrageously expensive comparing to $9 when we first started buying! We now have to think it over prior to committing buying! Just sad! read more

I went to my dear friend's bridal shower yesterday and had a slice of the strawberry cake with the fruits, OMG!!!! I have not stop thinking about this cake! I've never had Chinese cake before and was pleasantly surprised. It was not overly sweet and the fruits were perfectly balanced. So, guess what???? I will be ordering this cake for my birthday! Yeh's Bakery isn't too far from where I work and I may pick a cake up for Christmas!!! Thanks Karen for introducing me to your wonderfully sweet culture read more

These small delightful puffs are packed with curry flavor! I always feel like they could use some more beef, but I'm a fan of an overstuffed puff. The curry flavor is very pronlunced on these. You definitely won't be disappointed. read more

I came here because of reviews on Yelp. I was expecting a fancier bakery but this place looked sort of dingy and small on the inside--I am used to the lit bakeries in Philly I guess. I came here specifically looking for sun cakes (tai yang bing). I've had the famous elusive ones from Taiwan and was trying to find them in the US. Most pastries marketed as sun cakes I've had weren't even close. They were either filled with red bean paste or some yellow gummy paste! Red Leaf seems to have the closest you can get to sun cakes on the East coast. It's filled with honey like it's suppose to be (Red Leaf actually labels them as honey cakes in English). The outer shell is a too dry and too thick compared to the authentic sun cakes from Taiwan so still not the same. One thing I highly recommend is their wife cakes (lao po bing). It is filled with winter melon paste of some kind. These are the best wife cakes I've ever had! Again most other bakeries fill them with red bean paste of some kind. I also tried their handmade moon cakes. They were so very expensive for such a small pastry and super hard and brittle! They crumbled a bunch when bit like a graham cracker. The only one that was worth it was the one filled with egg and curry meat. Trust me, I tried them all. Despite the moon cakes being a let down I recommend this place and will come back and buy a bunch of wife cakes next time I go to Flushing. Bought $60 worth of pastries here last time and my family finished it all in like 4 days. read more

I've been coming to Yeh's for years! In fact, my family regularly shleps to Flushing from Manhattan and Brookly for their cakes. They are hands down our favorite Chinese bakery. The cakes they turn out are unique and unmatched by any other bakery in Flushing, Chinatown or Brooklyn. I personally love their Boston Cream Pie which is lite and airy. Both the sponge cake and the cream is delicious! My family also loves the rainbow cake and the regular sponge cake with the flaky crust You really can't go wrong here! read more

Are you thinking of fluffy, melts in your mouth type cakes? Yep. You got the right place. That's really all I'm gonna say... And that my friend got the strawberry cake and it was so freaking good. I want more. read more

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Yeh's because my mom used to buy us the Boston Cream Pie from here about ten years ago. The fact that this place is still around in a relatively low foot traffic area attests to how good they are. It's a small place but the cakes! $12 for a Boston Cream is definitely worth it. The crispy pound cake is also worthy of consideration. read more

Tried this place based on reviews I had to, Boston cream pie was phenomenally delicious, the green tea cake wasn't a fan of but the service was excellent the ladies behind the counter couldn't be more friendlier, def recommend this spot, tried other pastries and they're delicious. read more

Love love love their cakes, their cream is so fluffy and the cake is so moist and soft. I prefer them over any other Asian bakery birthday cakes. The prices are reasonable as well. We go out of our way to make a trip to the bakery all the time. We also get their Boston cream pie all the time as well if no occasion for birthday cakes read more

Alright. So when it comes to dessert, I generally program myself to respond to 2 categories - either I like them with a thick, rich mouth-feel (like a really good pasteis de nata, a flan or some creme brulee, maybe a crispy kougn amman served with some good black coffee), or I prefer something light and airy, like a mille feuille, a decent glass of melon sorbet (a shot of midori would be nice), or even an excellent angel food cake with some fruit on the side. Sometimes a craving for the latter brings me to Yeh's. Yeh's Bakery is in a part of Flushing called Queensborough Hill. The Q44 bus run near the area, and neighborhood businesses are frequented by car owning suburbanites who would rather grab lunch in the area and not get into fistfights dealing with Downtown Flushing traffic. It's like a mini-Taipei/Hong Kong - ever since the Mainlanders became dominant on Main & Kissena, the Cantonese/Taiwanese moved out to the boonies to escape the FOB insanity. The food choices in the immediate area reflects this - there are 2 Hong Kong style Shanghaiese joints in the area, 2 Hong Kong style diners, a very good Taiwanese joint (Main Street Imperial Taiwanese Gourmet), and 2 Dim-sum palaces around that area (Lake Pavilion recently re-opened after an electrical fire). It's natural to expect Yeh's to be here, Taiwanese bakery and all. So what's the big deal - they are all Chinese, right? No - there are distinctive styles in Chinese bakeries based upon the owners' origin. They are likely to steal ideas from each other and/or execute each other's offerings (often with surprising or disappointing results), but you can tell them apart. There's the ones with Malaysian roots like Little House Cafe in Corona - you'll get Curry Puffs, Kaya (coconut custard) toasts, Coconut & Pandan cakes, and etc. You have the Hong Kong style with the Pearl Delta Portuguese/British colonial influences, such as Taipan Bakery or Morning Glory in Rego Park. They'll do Brit-style milk breads, egg tarts (a local derivative of the Portuguese Pasteis de Nata), cocktail buns (milk custard filled buns sold during breakfast time in HK diners), or pineapple (bolo) buns - No pineapples but they have a crispy yellow streusel top that looks somewhat (not quite) like the outside of a pineapple. You might run into Bakeries with Northern Chinese roots, which features large steamed buns, and traditional mochi-like pastries. Then you have the Taiwanese like Yi Mei Fong (recently shut down due to the fire on Main/Roosevelt - that places goes back to the late 70s), and this fine establishment. So, what makes it Taiwanese? Well, Taiwan was a former Japanese colonial subject, and prior to that, it was considered backwaters for adventurers from the nearby Jiangsu and Fujian provinces of China, and all this left indelible marks on their food-ways. From the local sugar industry came brown sugar for the Sun cakes (太陽餅). From the fruit plantations came the guavas (芭樂) for juices and pineapples for pineapple short cakes 鳳梨酥 (although nowadays, unless you buy it from a gourmet bakery like Sunnyhills (微熱山丘), the standard stuff is wax gourd and pineapple flavoring with a disappointing shortening crust). From the Japanese, a love for green tea (which the Taiwanese grow in their plantations) and mochi (麻糬). Then there's the mooncakes stuffed with candied winter melon and nuts (台灣月餅), or herbal jelly (仙草) that goes into drinks. You see signs of that all over Yeh's (Yeh being the Taiwanese Wade-Giles transliteration for the Chinese surname 葉 (or Ye in Pinyin) - the drinks fridge will have HeySong Sarsaparilla (黑松沙士), Apple Sidra, herbal Jelly in cane juice, or guava juice. What about the pastries? You'll definitely see their version of mochi, moon cakes, the sun cakes, the wife cakes, and their own pineapple shortcake (it's a tad disappointing). They also have turnovers with curried beef and chicken, but their claim to fame was their light-and-fluffy Boston cream pies. So what's a common complaint that the Chinese have against American style cakes and desserts? It's too sweet, too heavy, and too dense. While I have a sweet tooth and don't mind a good pineapple upside down cake from Lord's Bakery in Flatbush - I do like something that reminds me of a good angel's food cake, a light Chiffon that is seasoned with a sweeter, whipped cream frosting. Something that doesn't weigh me down and can go well with some chilled fruit - which is what their Boston Cream pie really is - a chiffon disk with plenty of light and airy whipped cream in the middle, and dusted with confectioner's sugar on top, available both as a slice, or as an entire pie. Light, refreshing and delicate. So delicate, in fact, that the owner will warn you in Mandarin to keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve. As if it'll get a chance to do that. Half of a typical slice will be gone before I walk out the door. read more

I've never really liked chinese cakes in the past and I now know why ...it's because it wasn't from Yeh's. The green tea birthday cake was really good! not too sweet and the fruits were very fresh. I also tried the Boston cream pie and for a person who usually does not like cream I sure ate a lot of it! They had a small selection of cookies that I'm dying to try~ the almond cookie looked really good! Try the Chicken puff, or chicken Pie -- savery yummy goodness! Just lovely! read more

This is my spot for birthday cakes. Because Chinese people dont like ice cream cakes as much and they are too sugary sweet. And those tradional cakes in other chinese bakerys are played out and boring. Yehs cakes are amazingly moist and just enough sweetness that all ages are satisfied. Ive been getting cakes from here for years and yehs cakes are grandma and grandpa approved! Get the green tea cake, mmMMm read more

Soft, moist, subtle, and wonderful green tea cake roll. I was sold after my neighbor presented this wonderful creation to my parents as a thank-you gift. Upon seeing the name of the store, I insisted that we get another one for ourselves after finishing the first roll, a day and a half later. I always get the green tea cake roll. And green tea birthday cakes. (Can you tell that I like green tea flavored desserts?) The birthday cake, at ~$25 is much cheaper than a cake of similar size from a fancy Korean bakery (I forget the exact size). And it's always been great. The texture is perfectly fluffy and spongy, and the flavor light and refreshing. Though I wouldn't mind them putting more matcha powder to enhance the green tea flavor. My younger brother doesn't have a big sweet tooth (yea not sure where he came from..) but would accept their chocolate cake roll as bribe. I mean, gift. The texture does become less than perfect after a couple of days in the fridge, so it's best to consume within a couple of days. What a great excuse to just eat the whole thing by yourself? It's for the cake ;P read more

This is the go to place for the best green tea cake in new york city hands down. Never disappoint even at the busiest times when u did not order in advance they still manage to fulfill your order. I support small business like we all should during this difficult time during covid. The staff was even kind enough to give me a call when my cake was ready for pick up at a last minutes notice to drop by to pick up a cake. Price for the cake was on par with competition if not a little more but hope they dont raise the price so we can continue to support them. Kuddos to Yehs bakery! read more

My girlfriend and I were waiting on our phones next door and noticed how appealing the pastries looked here as we passed by. We checked out Yelp before we went in because everything looked good and we were full from our lunch. We tried out the rainbow sponge cake and the green tea roll. Big fan of matcha, the green tea roll hit the spot! The workers were friendly here too, major plus in customer service! Coming by again when we visit again! read more

Delayed post** Had this place bookmarked for awhile and for my recent visit to New York prior to covid, I finally got to try the goodies from Yeh's. I visited with several friends, so I luckily got to try a lot of things. We ordered the sponge cakes, boston cream pie's, assorted cookies, and scallion bread. WOW. Everything was tasty, but I really liked the scallion bread and boston cream pie the most.  Everything was just so balanced well with the perfect amount of sweetness and breading.  I'm a sucker for asian bakeries because of this, since generally they don't make things too sweet.  EVERYTHING tastes as good as it looks here! Yeh's does not disappoint! read more
