Daronghua Bakery — Restaurant in New York

With two bakeries sitting side by side, it's not easy to stand out, but Daronghua manages to do just that by staying true to its roots.

This spot leans heavily into classic Chinese flavors such as taro, durian, mango, red bean, and more, offering a delicious variety of cakes and traditional desserts that prioritize comforting, nostalgic taste over flashy presentation.

The cakes have a homemade feel in the best way, with a more traditional appearance than those at the neighboring bakery and an unmistakably Asian-style texture and flavor.

They also serve a variety of steamed bao, traditional buns, and a nice selection of classic Asian drinks made on the spot. It is clearly not your average hip bubble tea shop.

The ladies that work there are nice, it’s typically not busy or crowded however they do have rush hours. They have indoor seating and have been coming up with new pastries to sell. I haven’t tried any of the newer pastries, I have only bought the basics and I haven’t had...

Everyone complaining about attitude but come on… they are NOT discriminating against anyone ,stop being so sensitive…. there is a language barrier and different cultural norms which is also what makes the food so attractive. So don’t come here for a conversation if you don’t speak the language, come for the amazing sweet buns and cheap prices. Also, i Asked the woman behind the counter for a recommendation in a few simple English words and she was more than happy to go around and point out what she liked. The world does not revolve around you, stop complaining and ruining their business with your...
