Maxin Bakery

I come to Maxin Bakery all the time - for a quick breakfast, to take with me for lunch, or to save for the next day. Everything is big, fluffy, and at a great price! Here, you'll find traditional Chinese bakery goods like pineapple buns (I like to pop mine in the toaster when I get home for its crust to get crispy), coconut cream buns, almond twists, and savory steamed baos. Their passion fruit with jelly drink is a great cheap alternative to bubble tea and is light and refreshing. Everything I've tried here was delicious!

Came into Flushing this afternoon and was craving a Chinese red bean bun. I walked into adorable Maxin Bakery to find out if they had any red beans buns. They did and the friendly woman at the bakery showed me where the red bean buns were located. I bought one red bean bun and it was only $1.85. Brought it back home and was so impressed with the taste, a soft bun filled with red bean paste. Every bite was so amazing. I wanted to save some of my red bean bun for the following but I couldn't because it was so delicious. Maxim Bakery makes the best red bean buns in NYC.

One of my favorite Chinese bakeries in the world (not just Flushing). Prices are great, food even greater. Of course taste is subjective. My favorite is a sweet corn danish for $1.90 as of this posting. Opens at 7am most days. They're ready a few minutes before. If you don't speak their language either be very patient and be ready for some "rude" customer service (it's NOT rude) or use Google Translate. Don't be that non-local who blames non English speakers for being "unfriendly". If you're visiting New York City, and Googled "best Chinese bakery" this place is one of the best anywhere.

chicken steamed bao bun $1.80 yummy for the price,, i will return

This used to be one of my favorite spots, but of recent, it’s been one horrible experience, after the other. I bought a little over $30 worth of pastries and when I got home 20mins later and checked my pastries, they were all sour and had mold on them. I called several times to inquire on a refund, with them cutting my calls off abruptly, multiple times. I will no longer be going here, because molding and expired pastries seems to be a multiple occurring situation. Highly disappointed in them.
