Reviews
Came here after seeing the signs of best sponge cake in town and decided to give a try. Walking in you have to go straight past the door and will see the shop (with another door).
The sponge cakes are $1.00 for the original and $1.25 for flavoured sponge cakes (such as pandan, ube, coconut and more). The sponge cakes are freshly made and a good snack size. They also serve coffee, lemon tea and other drinks at a reasonable price.
Highly recommend giving this place a quick try if you’re in the Chinatown area.
Came in on a Saturday morning for sponge cake and coffee. The flavors were incredible! Ube, pineapple, and strawberry were some of my favorites. If you tie the bags shut, they stay fresh for another day. I also really enjoyed their Vietnamese coffee (I asked for it less sweet and darker). The woman behind the counter was very kind! $1 for original, $1.25 for flavored. They cost less if you purchase a dozen.
Kam Hing lives up to its name. It’s THE BEST sponge cake I’ve ever had.
Fluffy, just the right amount of sweetness, and you’ll never be satisfied with just one.
And I might be bias since I’ve had these decades ago (they used to be across the street). It always warms my heart to see that they upgraded from a hole-in-the-wall shop to the lovely, cozy bakery they have today. I hope they continue to keep their recipe and stay open for business for generations to come!
And thank you for keeping the prices so reasonable so the local community can still afford delicious sponge cakes.
5/3/22: I ordered a dozen sponge cakes for $10. A dozen is so many so I freeze the leftovers and warm them up in the microwave (50secs from frozen) and then eat with a generous amount of salted butter. Here are my ratings:
4.75*:
Original
Matcha
Ube
Coconut
4.5*
Chocolate Chip
4.25*:
Butterscotch
Pumpkin Spice
I always love coming here whenever I am in the area. Their sponge cakes are always so soft, fluffy, and delicious. They have different flavors which makes it hard to choose, I was particular to chocolate chip, but you could always choose to leave with at least a dozen.
Walked here to get a quick breakfast. The sponge cake was very delicious along with the coffee. The lady who took my order was very sweet and explained the menu items to me. Highly recommended this spot for a morning treat and a great start to your day!
best spongecakes ever! extremely moist and fluffy interior, reminiscent of biting into a soft cloud. the graphics inside of the store are super cute! and contrary to another review, the vibes are not rundown and are very akin to the business being run by hardworking immigrant families (a very no frills place). amazing customer service, everyone is swift yet kind as well. every time i come here, i make sure to buy boxes worth of cakes to carry with me back home, as i am not a native new yorker. best deal ever that you can get to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling disgustingly gross after!
A very unassuming cafe/bakery on a side street in chinatown. I always stop by here whenever I'm in the area to put up some of their sponge cakes. I grew up having these and I don't see them available in many places anymore. I'm glad they still continue to offer them. The original is $1 and the flavored ones are $1.25. The staff here are always very kind and welcoming. The cakes don't look like much but they are really delicious. Soft and fluffy and not very sweet.
