iCafe

Nice to find CNY cakes that are low in sugar and without preservatives. I tried the coconut milk mush gao and red bean cake. They taste good.

Pastries and buns are good, particularly the crispy cha siu buns and crispy taro buns. Their sponge cake used to be very fluffy and soft. Now, the cake is not as much soft and fluffy.The pastries and buns were used to be cheaper than other bakery shops. Now, noT cheap any more BUT they are still pretty competitive in terms of quality.The menu has been simplified, some items would only be ordered in advance such as mochi.Maybe the shop becoming popular, I feel that the owner/cashier sometimes appears rude and cold to random customers.

iCafe is a nice little bakery and cafe located in a side street in chinatown. The inside is fairly clean with a more modern aesthetic. They have some booth seating for those who want to enjoy some bread and a hot drink while taking a break.They have a nice assortment of classic Chinese bakery staples. Everything is made well and you can't really go wrong with anything here. If wanted, you can also request for them to heat it up a bit if you plan to eat it soon. They also have an interesting assortment of sticky rice choices to bring home and prepare. Each one is quite unique and worth a try.

Dropped in to pick up some buns and got a bag of almond cookies. These are the best cookies I've ever had. Better than the ones sold in LA Chinatown.

Reasonably priced bakery located in Chinatown. They accept credit cards including Amex. Clean bakery with tables and seating inside. We got 2 bubble milk teas, egg tart and green onion bun which came out to $13.50. The 2 ladies working the counter were friendly too, answering and helping the other customers.

This is the year tradition for NY, organic radish and taro cakes. Their Chinese organic Tamale also very tasty and many choices even vegetarian. Fresh ingredients and great service.

Bad values on the Chinese tamales. Small size compared to others but more than 30% more expensive. The meat is not fatty enough, the salty egg yolk used packaged one. Dry, not oily nor crumbly. Biggest issue is they didn't use 五香粉 to marinate. So, I won't be going back. On the side note, I bought a bun and HK milk tea. Milk tea is really bad. And the bun is not worth it.

"They want the tech people." You want the people that care about the food in USA. You want them to be nice. You haven't been here with your nice parents from China. You are insensitive. You are not a real person. You are eating this food from about 100 places. Chinese buns and Chinese snacks...thanks..thanks for your efforts and service..thank u for your attempt to share life in the world..and not be real person..and eat food..and thank you for being from China..Thanks for the war on humanity!

Stopped by for a quick bite, and this bakery did not disappoint. This is a bakery many "locals" come to. Many were seniors who just hung out and read newspapers and chatted with each other. They didn't have a large variety of baked goods, but what they did have were delicious.

Excellent CNY cakes like turnip cake and 年糕！This is my go-to bakery in Chinatown. They take cash and credit cards.
