New Cameron Bakery — Restaurant in New York

Right after a long morning waiting in line of a federal government building I was deeply craving the taste of a pastry from a Chinese bakery. So I was strolling through canal st and surrounding avenues until I came across this very small establishment. This isn’t a place where you’d sit and study(lounge) but you are presented with a wide varieties of baked goods and hot foods.

I was quite upset with her attitude and I left after I paid. I hope their customer service will improve. If not, I don’t even want to go back again. Despite their buns are fresh, the interior of the place is not pleasant and...

New Cameron Bakery has the charm of an old-school bakery and is conveniently located near the uptown 6 train, making it easy to grab something on the go. The staff was helpful and fluent in English, and transactions were quick. They have a $5 minimum charge for credit cards and accept Apple Pay. The coconut buns were delicious and was consistent to the other bakeries. They had a large selection of steam buns and Lunar New Year edible things available.

An area for improvement could be offering a samples of steam buns in 1 pack.

Overall, my experience was positive, and I would definitely...
