I decided to try their Coconut Pandan cake which was enjoyable except for the jelly they had in the middle. The cake itself was pretty moist and the cream had a nice Pandan flavor. The Portuguese egg tart is what you would expect from one of these bakery's, very basic but it was nice and flaky. The milk tea was also okay, we asked for less sugar so it was not too sweet. We also got the sesame mochi to go and this was delicious! Definitely the best thing I bought from this bakery. The sesame paste was nice and strong but not too gritty and the mochi was super soft. I have to go back to grab another when I get the chance!

There was a tray of Tee-Doy decided not to buy any of them because they were all hard. Got 2 of the fish sandwiches and 2 of the chicken sandwiches. The prices for both sandwiches and bun have jumped up since January. I stopped here to get items for family and relatives/friends. Not impressed with their chicken sandwiches for they were hard and there is tendon in one other chicken sandwich has area that was not edible. The quality definitely not what it use to be here. There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

I love Lety's Bakery & I'm glad it has been in Jackson Heights for a while & many years to come…read more The employees there are always very sweet & everything I've had there was great, some more than others of course (like the flan & rainbow cookies stand out more than other things to me). Everything I've tried so far has been fresh as well. The one important thing to note though is that the flan cheesecake is amazing (who even came up with that haha) & I do think the textures do mix well BUT only when eaten fresh. In short, do not take the flan cheesecake to go as it does not travel well at all, even if it's for a short distance. Simply enjoy it inside the cafe instead :).

This was one of the better old-school neighborhood Italian bakeries I've been to in recent years…read more This little stretch of 37th Avenue often feels nostalgic to me, with stationary and 99 cent stores, Jahn's, and bakeries like this. It reminds me of what Hudson Street was like in the 90s. We shared some of the jam-filled heart-shaped cookies and the rainbow cookies. The rainbow cookies had a pleasant aroma from the raspberry jam and a good subtle taste of marzipan in the cake layers. I wouldn't have minded a slightly denser chocolate coating on top.

We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!

This is a typical Cantonese bakery that has a handful of locations in Queens. I've also been to…read moretheir Jackson Heights location, which is smaller. They have all usual items - bubble tea, sponge cakes, steamed buns, egg tarts, premade sandwiches, and more. I've had a few items from here and they were all fresh at reasonable prices. I prefer the larger Fay Da bakery chain, which has a much larger overall selection of baked goods. However, I will admit that Rainbow excels at offering non-bakery items. You can get congee, rice noodle rolls, and even a bunch of dim sum items (dumplings, beef balls, siu mai, etc.). You can easily pickup a lunch or dinner from here.

Soft, fluffy ube chiffon, rolled clean like it trained for this, packed with ube whipped cream. Zero cracks. Zero mercy. Then came the mochi donuts. Pineapple Mochinut -- first bite screams PINEAPPLE. Soft, slightly chewy, creamy frosting, dangerously good. Chocolate Mochi Donut -- solid, rich, did not disappoint. Didn't stop there because I have no self-control: Berry marble cheesecake -- straight-up irresistible. Mille-feuille (Napoleon) -- aka "a thousand layers of don't ask questions." Flaky, buttery, rich... this was the victory lap dessert. Coffee? Top tier. Staff? Attentive, locked in, took care of business. Came for donuts. Left emotionally satisfied. Real men eat dessert.

She would have given it 5/5 but for me it was alright. I had better pandan cake and it felt like they used too much of the concentrate instead of fresh pandan leaves. You can taste the artificial pandan which I don't like. I would given it 3/5. Overall the presentation of the cakes is what drew me to come back. I would like to try the fruit cake next time.

It's charming inside and quintessentially Queens - walking in, you get a sense that this was a family-started business. The pandesal was yummy, authentic, fluffy and hit the mark when I was having the craving. The worker was super nice, too and there are a few tables for you and a few friends to sit around and eat the goodies. There's a fridge full of cakes and other desserts, too. I think you could probably preorder a cake if you're an ube fan and get it for your birthday or other special event. I'm happy they're here and would love them see more things on the menu - maybe I missed it but would love to try a halo halo here. I would love to know when to get the buns the freshest as well/what their baking schedule is!

What is good about 88 Bakery & Cafe is that there is an area where you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee (I like their coffee) and I get the bun with corn with bits of ham swimming in mayo (white cream). It's cool to sit and watch customers come into the store like the neighborhood traffic guard taking a break after walking in the brutal heat to check his phone.

The bright yellow of the mango and the purple of the ube are unique, as well as the exotic flavors. The cake itself is light and sweet without being cloyingly sweet and the cream is not as heavy as American or Italian style bakeries. We also ordered their Filipino style empanadas with different meat fillings, 2 each of chicken, pork & beef. If you buy 6, you get a bonus empanada, but they threw in 2 extra ones this time! Each meat flavor comes in a slightly different shape to tell them apart. They are baked and not fried like some other meat pies, so the crust is more pie-dough-like instead of crispy or flaky layered. The chicken empanada is just like a handheld pot pie and tastes exactly like one, too!
