Taiwanese wheel cakes (車輪餅) are not a thing in most areas of the country but in places like Flushing, it can be a tasty reality. Formally Happy Wheelie Cakes (#1), they rebranded to an equally cheeky name in Bearin Wheel Pie during the pandemic. It has since remained one of the more well-known stalls at Landmark Quest Mall.
There is little to no seating here, so it's takeout or nothing. They do accept phone orders, but there is something especially satisfying about the process of watching the staff pour batter into the mold, hearing the sizzle, and then seeing the cakes take shape. Their custom machine is definitely one of a kind.
As for the wheel cakes themselves, they're an ideal snack on the go. Everyone has a favorite, but I personally enjoy the red bean filling but the everyone has a preference. I personally enjoy the red bean flavor as well as the black sesame. For double fillings, it'll be an extra messy, and nearly $5. I usually try to combine this place with Joe's Rice Roll as my dessert option.
The woman running the stall is Taiwanese and extremely friendly. It's a cash only biz and the price gets marginally cheaper if one buys multiple wheelies at a time. Lastly, if the wheel cakes aren't your thing, shoot for the fresh milk mochi.
