Yeh’s Bakery

Love love love their Boston cream pie! Their cream is delicious and their little pineapple cake tastes homemade. If you had pineapple cake from cha tai in Taiwan you’ll definitely want to try Yeh’s out. It’s the closest thing like the ones from Taiwan. ;)

Love love the boston cream pie! Definitely worth the drive for it in my opinion. It’s so moist and fluffy and the cream, which I normally don’t eat, was delciious. I tried the curry puff, chicken roll, vanilla cake roll, and scallion bun but I wouldn’t get any of that again except the scallion roll, which was also delicious! It’s super salty and also has egg in it. Yum!

This place is cash only and they sell out of stuff quickly. Go early if you can.
I have two favorites in this place… the strawberry cake and the boston crème pie. NOT your traditional American style cake. These cakes are Chinese style made — the cake is light and airy. Very fluffy and the cream is super fresh. I haven’t tried much else in here because I don’t get to frequent often but apparently this place has a cult following. Like I said, go early or forget it. Things fly off the shelves and don’t bother trying to buy it at close to closing time. You’ll be lucky to find anything left (cake wise). They do sell traditional buns, egg tarts, and cakes like other Chinese bakeries so that is likely what they will have left.

Can I just say, that this is my favorite Chinese bakery in all of NYC?
I started coming here years ago when the Boston Crème pie was only $ 9? $ 10? Prices have since risen, but it’s ok, because I will always buy the Boston Crème pie!
The cake is moist and fluffy and the cream is heavenly. It’s just the right amount of sweetness that makes you want more!
I’ve tried other cakes here which is still delicious, but the Boston Crème will always be my favorite!
If you ever want to order a cake here for a special occasion, they can have it ready for you in minutes and will customize it for the occasion.

In the words of Lil Jon, this bakery is «Yeh, Yeeeeh! Ohhhkaaay!»
Yeh’s is a tiny hole-​in-​the-​wall bakery in the chipper Chinese community (aka Main Street) of Flushing, NY. The bakery is famous for their version of a Boston Cream Pie. It’s 75% less sweet, 26% lighter, 43% more spongy, and 100% more Asian than the classic American (umm… Boston) version typically lathered in chocolate and stuffed with custard.
The cakes at Yeh’s Bakery are much like you … light, soft, and fluffy. Unlike you, they are also near weightless with a lot less sugar. Yeh’s cakes also use real fresh whipped cream … which I do recommend for you, too.
And now, some old school Usher to take us out …
Yeh (yeh), Shorty got fluffy dough and said come to Yeh’s Bakery
Yeh (yeh), Lite cake quickly ate up, I forgot she sold me
Yeh (yeh), Coconut and Boston used to be the best cream pies
Yeh (yeh), Next thing I knew, I was all up in Flushing screaming:
Yeh, yeh, yeh! Yeh, yeh! Yeh!
Yeh, yeh, yeh! Yeh, yeh! Yeh!

Their fresh cream chocolate cake and fresh cream taro vanilla cake are must haves. The cakes we bough were very moist with excellent fresh cream.

The lightest, fluffiest, airy-​est Boston Crème Pie you’ll ever have in your entire life. I don’t know what the secret is, but Yeh’s has this recipe down pat. It’s like an angel food cake collided with cotton candy, except with only a subtle hint of sweetness. That’s probably the best part, is that there is only a tiny bit of sweet needed to make this dessert excellent and delicate. Love it so much. It replaces birthday cake in our family.

I absolutely love the cakes sold here. They start at 20 bucks for a nice sized cake. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and not crazy about super sweet cakes. These are perfect. They’re served cold and are kind of spongy. It’s hard for me to eat a whole slice of your typical cake but these are an exception. Bring Cash!

The green tea taro cake is still expensive. BUT…
their Boston Cream Pie!!! Whoa!!! That was pretty amazing.
Boston Cream: don’t picture your usual Boston cream. Instead imagine thicker whipped cream that not overly sweet but has just the enough sweetness. The cake is your simple sponge cake.
It’s simple and just yummy.

Please update the most recent cake price on Unilocal and both your website:))) thanks! Nvm, so I actually went there and take a picture feel free…

Soft, moist, subtle, and wonderful green tea cake roll. I was sold after my neighbor presented this wonderful creation to my parents as a thank-​you gift. Upon seeing the name of the store, I insisted that we get another one for ourselves after finishing the first roll, a day and a half later.
I always get the green tea cake roll. And green tea birthday cakes. (Can you tell that I like green tea flavored desserts?) The birthday cake, at ~$ 25 is much cheaper than a cake of similar size from a fancy Korean bakery (I forget the exact size). And it’s always been great. The texture is perfectly fluffy and spongy, and the flavor light and refreshing. Though I wouldn’t mind them putting more matcha powder to enhance the green tea flavor.
My younger brother doesn’t have a big sweet tooth (yea not sure where he came from.) but would accept their chocolate cake roll as bribe. I mean, gift.
The texture does become less than perfect after a couple of days in the fridge, so it’s best to consume within a couple of days. What a great excuse to just eat the whole thing by yourself? It’s for the cake ;P

Yeh’s bakery has the most wondeful light and fluffy cakes. Seriously unbelievably good.

Their cakes are so moist, fluffy, and delightful! They’re not too sweet, nor are they too dry unlike other bakeries. I’ve had their chocolate, vanilla, chestnut, and Boston crème pie cakes. My favorite one out of all of them is the chocolate. I also like their curry beef puffs because they have just the right amount of flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive. Candles are an extra charge, so I usually don’t get them. The prices are standard for the quality! I’ve never tried their breads, which are approximately $ 1-​$ 2. The place is a little farther from the main part of Flushing, but the trip is worth it!

Still my favorite bakery that I would walk all the way to the other side of Flushing to go get! It’s worth the trip. I got the Boston crème pie and some curry pastries/​chicken roll this time. The pastries are always fresh and piping hot and the cake is always like heaven. The whipped cream is their major appeal as it is so light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The Boston crème pie is a good sized cake and is very satisfying. Would love to try their other products some day that I have not already tried. The customer service is also very good and professional! My place to go anytime we need cake!

Hands down, the best Chinese style cakes I’ve ever had. And have I had a lot in nearly 3 decades of birthdays and holidays. Light. Fluffy. Airy. No one ever passes on a slice. It’s not in a convenient spot, but I gladly make the trip out there. Strawberry is the best in my opinion, but the green tea is good too.

I’ve been to Paris, Tokyo, Rome, these are still some of the best cakes I’ve had. There’s nothing fancy looking about the cakes or the store but don’t let that fool you. These are some of the most delicious and spongy cakes. The green tea cake is amazing, especially right out of the fridge. On par with Lady M’s green tea crêpe cakes. The cake is NOT a lie!

Love Yeh’s Bakery! I love the Taro cake! I love how light and fluffy the Taro cake is. I went to many bakeries and ordered taro, but their taro cakes are too heavy and too thick. I like Yeh’s because it has small bits of taro and yet it’s light and fluffy. The cream is also very light and lightly sweetened. I usually get the taro for my parents birthday because of the lightly sweeten factor. I also got their mooncake once. It was the salty/​sweet one. Being a person that loves the mixture of salty and sweet, the mooncake was great for me, And it was. Very delicious. You can see how much business they make by the amount of workers they have each time I go there.

This is my spot for cakes. Love these cakes. Its nothing fancy, but man are they good. Always moist and great tasting. Best Green Tea cake out there.

Ive been getting cakes from Yeh since I was 2 years old– its been more than 20 years! I drive all the way from Staten Island to get a cake from here for special occasions. If only they delivered to NJ, i would have gotten my wedding cake from them!

They have the most amazing Boston cream pie! It is so light and perfected on the sweetness level. A whole pie cost $ 16, and can feed 3 – 4 people! My favorite dessert go to spot.

Softest, fluffiest cakes ever. Green tea and strawberry flavor are both worthy of trying if you’re a first timer. Even their Boston cakes are delicious.
My favorite combo (which you need to preorder) is the strawberry cake with fresh banana filling.
Their whipped cream is always on point and that’s probably the winning factor to their cakes!
Service is a plus.

The cake literally melts in your mouth! The cream is one of a kind! Green tea and strawberry cakes taste awesome! Getting a customize cake takes about 1 – 2 hour, sometimes! I remember ordering a cake during Lunar New Year, they were basically sold out, so remember to order early!
This is basically a pick up bakery, no sit ins! The price is decently fair! This is where we get most of the cakes from! The last time I went, you will need to pay for candles, so make sure you bring your own!

This is the place to go to buy a cake if you’re going to a party or dinner filled with old Asian people.
A 100% no frills place, but don’t expect the cakes here to be cheap either. A 10″ Green Tea cake with fruits will cost you $ 45. Considering what kind of ingredients are used to make that cake, they are charging a hefty penny for it!
I must also say, the past few times I’ve been here, the quality of the cake has taken a dip. The cakes were a bit dry and did not have the same texture as it did from a few years back.

Friend got me a box of Taiwanese treat from Yeh’s and I must say I was fairly impressed.
I tried the moon cake with mung bean & pork, sesame cake with peanut /​nut filling, old wife’s cake, and pineapple cake. All are made with real ingredient and authentic style of Taiwanese pastry. The quality was superb and I can’t wait to go to Yeh’s to try something else.

If there was one cake I could eat for the rest of my life, it would be a cake from Yeh’s.
Highly recommend the strawberry Boston Pie if you want something casual but delicious. If you want a formal cake, you can get it in strawberry too, but know it comes with a light fluffy icing and fruit on top.
On a whim, I decided to try their curry puffs too and they are AMAZING. Definitely get a couple of those.

My family have been buying cakes here for ages! If you’ve grown up eating sponge cakes this is not the usual. There is no fruit in the middle. I repeat THERE IS NO FRUIT IN THE MIDDLE! That was one of the main reasons why I never liked sponge cakes growing up.
There are a few flavors of sponge cakes such as green tea, strawberry and plain (vanilla?) My personal favorite include the green tea and the strawberry. The cake itself is light, fluffy and super flavorful. The cream that they use is light and airy, it wont make you feel terrible. The price of the cakes are somewhat expensive but can feed a large amount of people for parties so definitely worth it.
The Boston cream pies are a great value! It’s around 10ish dollars for a pie. It’s basically just a plain sponge cake with cream in the middle. It’s simple and just perfect. I have to say I could probably eat at least ¹⁄₃ of this pie without feeling bad and I would gladly lick my fork clean.

I was incredulous the first time I took a bite from a cake from Yeh’s. I didn’t know how it was possible for a bakery to create such a delicious, light, fluffy cake that wasn’t overbearingly sweet! From then on, I was hooked. This is the first place I suggest when someone needs a birthday cake. I’ve tried several flavors but I think my favorite is plain old vanilla. Taro is good, but overpriced (extra charge for this flavor). Green tea wasn’t too impressive.
The cakes look unassumingly plain, yet are wonderfully tasty. They also sell other pastries but their selection is limited. I’m also a fan of their curry dumplings at $ 1.50 a piece.

In a sea of Asian bakeries Yeh’s bakery stands out since they specialize and is known locally for creating fluffy and airy cakes. The cakes are literally «weightless» not overly dense and sweet and covered in powdered sugar and filled with a light and delicious whipped cream. The other pastries are pretty good as well but the review will concentrate on the cakes since this is what they are famous for.
The Boston cream pie or cake as some call it is one of the signature cakes here. At first glance the cake looks pretty unimpressive sitting in a 9 inch aluminum pan void of any decorations. It literally resembles a super oversized muffin and visually unappealing, but as they say «The proof is in the pudding» The cake is filled with a light and delicious whip cream. If only they can package that whip cream in a «reddi wip» type of can. I would be doing double shots of this stuff all day!
The cakes are really good and simple in design. No fancy or bold accents on the cakes or decorative fondant, just a tasty cake. Even the boxes they place the cakes in are plain white with the Yeh bakery logo stamped in red ink. No fancy ribbons or bows will adorn your cake box as you leave this bakery.
The bakery is small with no seating and the fridge and layout is dated, but the cakes are AWESOME! You can place an order for a birthday or anniversary cake and the flavors range from vanilla, strawberry, green tea, taro, chocolate and chestnut. Fruit toppings are an extra charge. I have had all the flavors of cakes in the past and they are all delicious! The cakes are not cheap or extremely expensive, but you do get the feeling you are paying a little too much since the cakes are so light when you pick them up.
Parking is difficult since the hospital is nearby and the meter spaces are limited on Main street but you may find parking spaces around the side streets. So if anyone ever asks you if you want cake just shout out «YEH!!» Hopefully they’ll get the idea on where to go.

Was in the area and needed to buy a cake. I searched a few places and eventually ended up at Yeh’s bakery. It’s true; don’t judge a book by its cover!!!
The place is kind of run down and very small. It’s not the cleanest and is take-​out only (no place to sit). The staff is friendly and fast. They have a small dessert selection and a case just for cakes and their Boston cream pies. The cakes all look exactly the same on the outside (white frosting with fruit decorations, typical Chinese cake) but you have a choice of vanilla, strawberry, chocolate or green tea flavor. I went with the Green Tea.
When we cut into the cake, we found a beautiful deep green color. The cake was delicious! It was airy and moist with lots of green tea /​matcha flavor. It’s not overly sweet, so everyone went for seconds! I am definitely interested in trying the three other flavors and the boston cream pie (fatty, I know). It’s not the prettiest or most decorative cake but the flavor and taste is there, the price is also really reasonable.
P. S. cash only (there is a Chase next door)!

The pastries and cakes here are extremely fluffy, soft, and moist. MUST be the special ingredients they use!
It is as if I am eating clouds with vegetables — very light and not overly sweet!
This is as surprisingly delicious as it sounds!
Their baked goods are one-​of-​a-​kind.
I have to really thank my friend, Xue, for introducing this special bakery to me! =)
Heard they make wedding cakes here too. I bet it tates wonderful!
#smiles
Note: I have yet to try their specialties, Boston Pie and Green Tea Roll!

So I bought a Boston cream pie today as a Thanksgiving dessert and was utterly disappointed. I don’t understand why it is named what it is. First of all, this is not a pie it is cake. Second of all, there is nothing Boston cream about it. It is just a lighter and fluffier version of a typical Chinese yellow cake and filled with whipped cream in the middle. I mean, it tastes okay and all but seriously what the hype is all about I do not understand. Thus I must drop my original 4 stars rating due to this so-​called «pie.»
Stick with the green tea cake!
