贝肯庄LIC

The Taro latte was a new experience and I’m glad I tried it! It’s bright fruity and obviously a fun purple color.

This is a cute little bakery. It’s a chain, but don’t let that fool you. Bake Culture has a huge selection of sweet and savory baked goods. I tried several items, and they were all delicious and fresh. There is plenty of space to eat in, and it is exceptionally clean. This was my first time at a Tawainese bakery, and I highly recommend it!

The Bowery location is my favorite. The egg tarts are what attracted me in the first place and then discovered so much more. I also have to compliment the staff, especially one who's name is Miracle. She is always so helpful and friendly. I really like the 3 for $10 special. This place can be addictive so be warned. 😂 Also, when you buy a pastry you can get a coffee for $1.00. Great deal

After our Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, I insisted we hunt for mooncakes even though most bakeries were probably closed. That's how I wound up at Bake Culture, where we gorged on the perfectly made (though pricey) Purple Taro and Red Bean mini-Mooncakes. The Condensed Milk Bun was a disappointment--not enough filling, but the classic Coconut Bun was perfect. While Chinese/Taiwanese bakeries abound here, Bake Culture edges out in my memory by being open late enough to make a good post-dinner dessert spot. Also gotta love the seat backs that are shaped like croissants and baguettes.

A break from the craziness of Chinatown! Calm music, wooden and minimalistic decoration. Simple place. Love the croissant 🥐 and baguette 🥖 seat rests inside the bakery. They offer 3 pastries x $10! Good deal! I haven’t ate yet what I bought but I like it so far. They have a good variety of sweet and salty pastries. Also boba 🧋 drinks.
