Bake Culture

Conveniently located just off the ferry, this place has a huge variety of baked goods (the croissant crisp and and red bean pastry we tried were both delicious!) and great drinks (sugar level can be adjusted, so our drinks weren’t sweet but very refreshing instead). The place is a little too big to fee cozy but does have outdoor seating with beautiful view of the city skyline.

This place is the only reason why I take the long route back home from Staten Island. They always have such a gigantic, diverse, and interesting selection of pastries/bubble tea that gets continuously updated and it's rare that anything that you pick will miss. Price for breakfast is also dirt cheap compared to other options nearby. Customer service is also great. I've going here for over 4 years now and the counter person has always been sweet.

The drinks are honestly the best I’ve ever had so flavorful, refreshing, and perfectly made every time. Their pastries are just as incredible, always fresh and baked to perfection. On top of the amazing food and drinks, the service is outstanding. The owner is so kind, welcoming, and truly cares about every customer’s experience. You can feel the warmth the moment you walk in, and it makes the whole visit even better. Between the delicious menu and the amazing service, this shop has become my go-to spot. Highly recommend to anyone who loves quality Milk tea and pastries!

Something happened to the jasmine milk teas but they taste like medicine. This used to be my most favorite place but they clearly changed the recipe this year and I wanted to throw up for the taste. Will not order again. To the owner: It has a horrible taste, you should drink it. I’ve tried jasmine milk tea almost at over 100 bubble tea locations, this is not an upgrade. I changed my rating due to your immediately response so I appreciate that. Other stuff is good but I’m just sad your drinks are not the same.

The baked goods were fresh, ready to go, and tasted wonderful! There is tsaôcaa on the drinks menu. There's usually a crowd but the orders are done within a few minutes so the wait isn't too long. It's a great place to sit down and eat with a view of the Manhattan skyline across the bay.
