Bakery is a franchise and this branch recently opened at this Park Slope location- with extra seating space in the back for a with cozy decor that would invite customers to stay just a little longer to enjoy a relaxed morning meal.

The pastry was pretty good but not amazing. It was fresh for sure. The pastry and the filling were pretty good, but I didn't like the frosting. It was a sticky consistency and somewhat weird tasting. Never tasted anything like that on a French pastry. It was a nice experience and I'd go back to try other things and maybe the coffee.

It was busy when I went in around 10a. It must be popular with locals. They had one of my favorite types of buns; the red bean paste bun. It looked good and it was $1.50. It was yummy. I didn't know who to ask to check out. Eventually one of the ladies behind the counter took my order. I paid and left.

I occasionally stop by for their dim sum, fresh rice rolls, congee, egg tarts, and their rice balls. Everything is generally fresh and satisfying for a casual meal or snack. They also take phone orders, and you can pick up your food at the window, which is convenient. Just be aware that service moves at its own pace. The staff can come off as rude or abrupt, so if you prefer attentive or warm service, this place might not be for you. There are very limited seating inside, more of a grab and go kind of place. Cash only. Overall, it's a reliable bakery in the area for a quick and affordable bite. They can get busy, and lines may form during peak hours.

The shop may be is small but very neat and well stacked with goodies. This is what an authentic Italian bakery should look like! They do have a small selection of butter cookies and about three varieties of rugelach. I wish there were more flavors of rugelach. The prices are a lot more affordable than Veniero's and much better tasting too. I am unsure why they don't allow photos and videos. Their bake shop looks amazing despite it's size. It looks better than most Brooklyn Italian bakeries. The other thing I wish is that there were names and prices to the pastries. It was a bit surprising to me that the clerks had no idea of the names of some of the pastries. I had to show them pictures. The woman who helped me had no idea what was in the pastries and the name of them. I think the people who work there should be better informed! This might be my new fave bakery!

Plus their baked goods are delicious! Two stand outs are the black sesame Swiss rolls and the durian cream puffs. It's been a year since my last review, and I think they improved the black sesame flavor. A full Swiss roll was $28 and so worth it. The durian cream puffs has a chunk of durian in it and the choux was crisp. Durian cream puffs sell out often. The chestnut mini cake is super cute, and honestly, it's hard to find chestnut flavored things here anymore. If I had to label this bakery anything, it would be the Chinese bakery that has all the nostalgic flavors with modern takes. Most Chinese bakeries by here don't do black sesame, durian or chestnut anymore. And this place does it well, and they're nice. NOTE: to order, they prefer WeChat. My ordering snafu happened bc I tried calling and there was a language miscommunication between WeChat/text messaging. WeChat is the easiest way to place orders.

We ordered a custom cake for my niece's 12th birthday, and it was honestly one of the best custom cakes I've ever had. Most custom cakes tend to have a denser, tougher sponge, but this one was incredibly fluffy, bouncy, and perfectly balanced, most importantly not too sweet. The texture reminded me of the amazing cakes I've had in China, and I haven't found anything like it here until now. We also tried their fresh mochi filled with whipped cream and mango, it was so light and melts in your mouth! The mochi skin had just the right chew and reminded me of the fresh mochi I had in Taiwan. Even their mini hot dog bun was super tasty! Every item we tried was a hit. I'll definitely be back here!

Staff is usually fast and friendly so it's a quick in and out, and a few times I've come late in the day for rice rolls and they've made a fresh one for me if I'm willing to wait. They have a good variety of buns and dim sum, plus some homemade specialty items like put jai go and zhong zi. I like their pineapple buns, the custard one is always sold out by the afternoon so I'll get the red bean bun instead. They also mentioned they can do cake orders with a few hours notice if they're not too busy. I haven't tried their drinks yet since I'm always there for the baked goods. There's two tables inside and they're almost always taken by local seniors enjoying their tea time. Super convenient spot right by the 18th Ave D train to grab a drink or bite.
