What an extraordinary hidden NOOK on an early SUNDAY MORNING when every coffee shop in the area at 630AM is closed.I pass through Queens a lot and even go out of my way for this place for a decent, inexpensive cup of coffee ☕️ ? $1.50. Always rich tasting smooth and ? HOT?.You wouldn't know to find this bakery without a road map because it is squished between two stores, but there it IS!!!, in plain sight. The pastries are always fresh and delicious. There are NO TABLES to sit and enjoy the ambiance, but with a little creative injuinity and there are small parks with benches within walking distance (in yellow circled, included picture) and a metered parking lot also within a few feet of the Bakery. I totally GET why this place is WAY CHEAPER than STARBUCKS OR DUNKIN?, it is smaller in size but between the TASTE AND COST to me it is worth it ?.THANKFULLY they also stick with good old AMERICAN "CASH ONLY" and not digital pay.??I wouldn't either, we don't need it!Don't be intimidated by the Asian writing on the door as if the Bakery only caters to Asians?, it doesn't ??*(I INCLUDED PHOTOS AND VIDEO OF THE DESERT "CREAM BUN" IN MY REVIEW)DaveLong Island NYParking: Paid parking lot just down the street next to the church difficult to get a spot.

Past by this small bakery and wanted to pick up a few cakes/buns on my way home. Many Yelpers raved about this bakery, particularly the Sesame creme roll cake. Bought myself one of the roll cake for to try- and liked it. The sesame cake was soft and has a light sesame flavor; creme filling isn't too heavy nor sweet- makes the cake that much more tasty. It is pricey for a small slice of cake (3.75). This popular cake slice sells out fast- it was mid-day and I got the last one. The milk tea drink tasted okay.

Old school Asian bakery - they are the best in flushing. Best quality baked goods. Been coming here for years and they're the best.

Ideally would give 4.5 stars but since that’s not an option, give 5 stars.Ordered several buns and refrigerated bao buns. The bakery buns were pretty good. The bao buns were meat and veggie. We asked for 2 bags of meat buns and were given one meat and one veggie. That knocks service down to 4 stars.One bakery bun with hot dog was meh. Stick with the regular bakery buns.

Place to get your basic Taiwanese baked goods. We usually order moon cakes from the store every year. It is more of a hole in the wall no frills bakery. Prices are reasonable!

I stumbled upon Apollo Bakery on a day trip to Flushing. Even though I had already ate a pastry from a chain bakery on the main block, I always want to try small mom and pop type establishments especially if I'm all the way in a particular hood so I popped in out of curiosity. As soon you walk in the delicious smell of baked goods hits you. The space is very cozy and not designed for sitting around like the other chain bakeries in the neighborhood. I got the chocolatey cake type dessert and it was delicious. Afterwards I looked at the other rave reviews and kind of wished I didn't get a pastry from the chain spot so that I have more of an appetite to try more things there. Oh well, I will definitely make sure to try more pastries from Apollo Bakery the next time I'm in Flushing. The service was fairly quick and friendly.

Peach longevity steamed bun ? $2.50It has a very unique shape and color, making it perfect for a special event. I brought them for my friend's gender reveal party.I only wish it had a thinner bun and more black bean filling. The filling is so good!Peach steamed bunsMust be ordered one day in advance and costs $2.50 each. It's a steamed bun with very finely ground red beans, and the red beans are so delicious that I want to eat a lot, but there's a little bit of them. It may not be of very good quality, but its unique shape makes it good enough to take to any event. Everyone is amazed

Expensive, expensive! My friend bought taro toast for 9 yuan a few days ago and it was 9.50 today! And the attitude is not that bad! I just like this old-fashioned flavor, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent any money on me!

My friend got married and she gave these out to her guests during her wedding. It has a sweet filling that reminds me of pineapple cake. It's basically a giant pineapple cake pastry, delicious ! I heard that customer service was great too.
Very authentic flavors. The taro cake is my favorite.

Amazing Taiwanese bakery!Probably one of the best bakeries in flushing! Hands down! The breads from here has an amazing texture! It's springy, moist and most of all tender! What's most special is that they sell "su（酥）" which is a moon cake like type of flakey pastry with different types of fillings like green bean, red bean and even salted egg yolk!You'll always see a line here so be sure to go early because most of the good breads sell out before noon!

If you are craving for traditional Taiwanese meat ball, leaf wrapped rice ball or savory rice cake - "Saturday morning after 9:30 AM", they do sell out fast.
