Fay Da Bakery

It's a great bakery if you know what to get! I am a huge fan of their sandwiches (costs less than $3 and you get an amazing crispy protein sandwich)! The value is hard to beat! Also their cakes are less sweet than the other bakery alternatives. Accepts card if you spend $10+. It's all fresh and marks the time some dishes come out throughout the day! Location is alright - has limited seating away from prying eyes, but for the price, I'm not complaining.

The shop has a wide area. But there are few chairs. And not very clean. Delicious snacks, good value if compared to the price. But the milk tea isn't that good. The tea bag has not yet dissolved. The taste is still not very good.

This is hands down the best regular brewed coffee I have had in New York—and it was only $2.35 for a large coffee. I don't take sugar in my coffee either so I know the quality is definitely appropriately sourced, and roasted and harvested with great care and attention. Their bakery items looked amazing and were presented beautifully, though I didn't buy any food while I was there (I bet they have tasty pork buns). The interior was very clean and welcoming, and the lady who served me was so kind, efficient, and made my coffee perfect! Thank you so much❤️

I requested one of the workers to change their gloves after I saw her touching the door's locks from the floor(her gloves where contaminated). And she didn't want to do it pretending she didn't understand me, I repeat it to worker next to her and she just ignored my request, that was a violation of sanitation of food protection, this workers don't have proper training to handle food. I left disgusted wondering what else they do when we are no looking handling food. I have buy before in this bakery no anymore.

Fay Da Bakery has very good products. The sweet items aren't overly sweet. The savory items are good also. I enjoy their Tuna Bun. The place is clean and the prices are affordable. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is that if you're looking for friendly service, you're not going to get it here. I understand we all have bad days but the unfriendliness here is consistent. Have gone back since my first review. The products are still good. I tried a new item the other day, The Pineapple Roll, and it was 😋. However the unfriendliness has remained the same. The ladies act like they're forced to work there. If the products weren't so good, I would never go back again. I should clarify that my review is only based on the Fay Da Bakery on 60th street. The address is in one of the pics I posted.

Fay Da Bakery makes excellent products. The sweets aren't too sugary, which is ideal for me. The establishment is well-kept, and the rates are reasonable. The two female employees were quite kind and accommodating. Pastries, veggie and meat buns, and cakes are all delicious. Drinks that are both cold and hot, as well as space to dine. Breakfast or lunch, this sandwiches are a must-try. Their bubble tea is something I enjoy drinking.

Delicious food and good prices. Great location. Wish I lived closer. Would buy those coconut buns every day.

Still one of my favorite Asian bakery chains, and happy to have this in the area when I visit. The pastries are still affordable and the staff are always professional. I highly recommend getting pastries in the AM. I feel after 3pm, the selection will be limited.

Freshly baked breads and cakes for excellent prices. The smoothies are really good as well.

We love coming here after making a trip to see my aunt on the weekends! This location is conveniently located right down the block from the 61st street woodside station on the 7 train. I was quite surprised by how much stuff they still had available on a Sunday afternoon. I am a sucker for their sponge cake, Japanese cheese cake (sadly they were sold out) and green tea Combos. I always pick up a number of sweets as you can never go wrong. They have sweet breads as well as savory ones. And if you're not in a mood for either they also have a display full of cakes and tiramisu. I love love love this place! It really is addicting ... trust me!

We visited this bakery on a Saturday afternoon after a long walk. As expected, we were hungry for snacks and this place really hit the spot. All the buns and little cakes/pastries were around $1-$3 each which is amazing for NYC! We literally grabbed an armful. I saw some sliced bread loaves for around $4 too. Also, I tried the soymilk they were selling on a whim, and I had a choice for it to be sweetened or unsweetened (I chose sweetened). Though I've definitely had better buns/pastries and soymilk before, everything was still good especially for the price. They have a decent sized seating area for customers too, and it was pretty clean. The employees were all nice and respectful as well. This is a great place to grab a quick breakfast or snack!

Super fresh baked goods. Ugh I'm hooked. Friendly staff. Super delicious. And ambiance is on point.

I was looking for a cake for Mother's Day. I really wanted a sponge cake since I don't find them as sweet as other cakes and my mom has some health issues and too much sugar isn't good for her. I came in a week before I needed the cake and they took my order. I got the mango cake and it was delicious. Everyone was raving about how great and light the cake was. It had plenty of fresh pineapple which only made it better. I will definitely be back to order more cakes from this place. FYI it's cash for sales under $10

Is it just me or all Fay Das the same? Not sure how to rate this place because everything I've tried tastes the same as every other Fay Da. 4 stars for consistency. Their cakes are usually very light and soft. I also really like their single serve portions because this girl has no chill when it comes to cake.

Fayda has become my go-to bakery for birthday cakes! I really love their mango mousse cake, it's light and not too sweet which suits the taste buds of my parents and grandparents. You can also ask them to write a message on it (if there's room for it), don't forget to ask for complimentary candles! I also always get their curry beef puff (which rose to even greater popularity thanks to Worth It).

I've been to this place several times, usually when I'm coming off or on the train at woodside. I am an avid fan of pineapple buns. The best time to eat them are when they are fresh, I like going in the morning. Remember to bring cash. I'll be honest they are not the best pineapple buns but there good when you can't go to Flushing or Chinatown. Service is always good here and I can't complain. 4/5 stars good

Compared to the bakery in Jackson Heights, this one was smaller. When I entered, there were some people buying. Some of the items that are made for breakfast were already sold out. The people where speak Mandarin. While there, there was a person asking about security. Since this place is next to the LIRR, this place would see more business.

My friends and I visited Fay Da as our first stop on a Queens food crawl. I had just finished an 8 mile run in the morning, so I was looking to absolutely FEAST. My friend told me about Fay Da and I was excited to visit. The first thing that I noticed when I walked into Fay Da was jus how cheap everything is. Buns were around 1-2 dollars, which was an absolute steal. Especially in the capital of overpriced that is New York City, it was nice to buy pastries that didn't break the bank. My friend and I shared a roast pork bun and a beef curry pastry, and both were delicious. We only ended up paying around 3 dollars total, and both of the pastries absolutely hit the spot. I had literally no complaints about Fay Da, and I would totally recommend Fay Da to anyone looking to find some cheap baked goods that still are quite tasty.

They seem to have fallen off the conveyor belt of baked goods and drink services. I went inside this chilled morning and after having learned that 99% if not all of their baked goods have lard in them, I stopped eating their foods but continued to consume their drinks. Today I ordered a hot green tea with a little honey and lemon. The woman behind the counter messed up entering the order a few times. Kept repeating iced instead of hot. I figured it was an off day for her. Turns out it's an off day for the whole shop. Finally after she got it right, and payment of $3.50 she handed me my drink with a cardboard sleeve on it and it strangely didn't feel hot but I was in a hurry. When I got to the station platform, I noticed a little black thing on the inner rim of the cup cover. I tried to drag it out with my fingers but it wouldn't budge. I thought it was a bug and then decided maybe it wasn't. I should have stuck to my instincts. I opened the lid and stuck it down in place. I saw the lemon floating on top and noticed there was no steam thus my hot tea was not hot. It wasn't even lukewarm. After I took my first two sips I noticed something floating around above the lemon. Ew!! It's a roach and I have the picture to prove it. They say no refunds or exchanges on the placard in their shop but this definitely deserves a cash refund and no exchanges. I'm already on the train out to work. But I hope they see this review and my recent uploaded photos and make some dire changes. Happy eats!

Street parking is a must here, this place is located at a easy enough to find parking area so its all good, but also they are right next to the train station exit. CASH ONLY******* CASH ONLY!!! They only take cash here so be prepared, also they do not have an ATM here so keep that in mind. Here you will find a bunch of awesome little pastries and buns, I love particularly the CHEESE TWIST and the TUNA BUN. also they here have coffee, tea and Bubba tea. Amazing. I do love this bakery a lot. they have a lot of cakes for all occasions as well. give it a try on their baked goods you will love it as much as I do.

I was really pleased with this place. Everything was very clean. There's only 5 people allowed in at a time and the most important thing to remember is they are cash only and do NOT have an ATM. You walk in a take a plate and tongs and then grab what you want and bring it up to the cash register so the worker can bag it for you. We absolutely loved everything. We got the roast pork and egg custard steamed buns, roast pork triangle, egg tart, sesame ball, milk cream bread, and bubble tea. Overall everything was super good especially the steamed buns. Definitely will come back

A really solid Asian bakery, the price is very reasonable and the baked goods are fresh and tasty. We had the green onion twist bread, steamed bun and both were flavorful and affordable.

Cash only, great place to grab Chinese baked goods in queens. Love their mango moose cake!

Very nice bakery in Woodside! Cheap, affordable and good! Bubble tea is a must! Location: It's near 61st St. train stop. The interior is huge, with good amount of seating and bread display. Cake display is good as well. You have to pick your breads and pay at the counter. Service: They are nice and always smile, language barrier is not a problem. :) Food: I always get the bubble tea here. Try the TARO, HONEY GREEN TEA and MILK TEA! They are all good! Boba is a good amount! The breads are good as well, I like the TUNA bread! Price rating: 3 out of 10. Very cheap and affordable. Try everything but don't forget to get bubble tea! Taro and honey green tea!

I've always loved getting their fresh fruit and cream cake for birthdays and am glad that there is one in the neighborhood. The cakes are light and fluffy without being overly sweet. A personalized message and candles are included for free. The staff of most chinese bakeries is limited in English but the ladies here are fluent. They are very friendly and the food is cheap and good. When you come in pick up a tray and tongs and pile on what you want. They also sell steamed buns at the counter which are also good. There is a seating area in the back with 5 small tables.

I had such horrible customer service experience tonight. I went in and purchased a bunch of pastries and when I got to the counter, I asked for a "coffee milk tea" under the "tapioca drinks". While we were paying, they placed the drink on the counter and basically threw the straw towards my way. Then, I noticed there were no "bubbles/tapioca" on my coffee milk tea. I asked "there's no tapioca in here?" And they said "NO!" And I replied saying I asked for the coffee milk tea with the tapioca. They said "there's no more tapioca!" I asked why they didn't let me know and they just said no tapioca. I said I wanted to get my money back and they said no. I know it's something little but it's the principle of it. They didn't want to accommodate and they didn't inform me that there was no tapioca. So I basically just paid for an iced coffee type of drink. And they didn't even offer to either exchange the fact there's no tapioca to grass jelly or even change my drink choice. And they were laughing when I walked out. Such HORRIBLE experience. I am so disappointed because I've never experienced such horrible customer service from the times I've purchased from Fay Da Bakery. Whoever was the 2 workers working around 6-6:30pm at the WOODSIDE location, they were not friendly at all.

Authentic Chinese bakery that offers a nice selection of unique types of savory, or sweet yummy sandwiches, buns, pastries, cookies and cakes. I think that their roast pork puffs are one of my favorite pastries. They are warm delicate flaky pastry filled with roast pork. If you are looking for something really quick and filling this is the place to go. You definitely have to get their early during the day to get fresh food and as the day goes by their selection becomes very slim pickings. Coffee and buns can really be very satisfying.

I bought a small Chinese melon cake this evening , it was not fresh and I had to throw it away after one bite as it tasted horrible. It is the worse Chinese melon cake I have ever eaten. Sad ..Maybe it is the pandemic , it is hard for the store to keep its food quality.

I love this bakery. All the buns are so soft and delicious. I like that things are not too sweet but great for when I Have a sweet tooth. They have both savory and sweet buns, so I definitely recommend. You could get breakfast and lunch here. They have a huge variety of treats and drinks. I love that it's inexpensive as well.

It's a Chinese bakery with lots of cakes and various breads; you can get a loaf of bread, a hot dog in a roll, sesame balls, sandwiches, they even have some pork/veggie/chicken steamed buns. You can get coffee, tea, bubble tea, soy milk, a shot of cold matcha in a can. There are some tables and chairs if you want to causally enjoy your snack/lunch/dinner. Cash only. And I don't think they will ever change that, although when they initially opened they told me they would. I like getting the fried fish sandwich. It's not hot, just slightly warm. They put some tartar sauce on it that gives it a tad of that relishy sweetness. The bread is soft and there's lettuce; it's just my go to comfort food when I feel like I want those cheap, fulfilling carbs. I also like the sesame balls. Slightly sweet and crispy on the outside, covered in those nutty little sesame seeds, and evenly textured and springy on the inside. I can also recommend the loaf of wheat or raisin bread, the walnut and chocolate bread, matcha cheesecake, even the hot dog in the bun is a guilty, dirty, cheap pleasure of mine. I'm not a fan of sponge cakes from Chinese bakeries, but some of the cakes look pretty appetizing. Prices are nice and low. I'm not 100% sure about the quality (I'm sure it's all enriched bleached flour and maybe semi real meat). It's not an American bakery, so the taste is definitely different, but you gotta respect it for what it is.

My go-to bakery in the local neighborhood. I was so happy when Fayda opened up in Woodside- they sell fresh bread and delicious cakes. Need a quick breakfast? Grab an egg tart, coconut tart, pork floss bun or a scallion pea twist (if you like green onions, this is the one). Pair it with a coffee milk tea (it is sweetened). Affordable breakfast right there! Celebrating a birthday or an occasion? Pick up an already made cake or go in to order a custom cake, they start at around 30$. The cake is spongy, the frosting is light and whipped. From the display case, their rolled caked and baby cheesecakes are my fave! Their "pullman" bread (white bread) is awesome to buy for home, toast it and add some butter or jam- delicious. They are cash only, and be mindful about the # of people in the store. They say 5 but it's not strictly enforced. The shop is spacious and people do stay apart from each other so it all comes down to us! Stay safe

This is one of the cutest newer additions to Woodside. I would have to travel to Flushing to get pastries and now having this down the street is a true delight! This is a Cash Only establishment but the baked goods, cake and pastries are delicious! I got their coconut bubble tea with jelly -yum! Also, their sponge cakes are soooo fluffy and melt in your mouth. The mango mousse cake and chocolate mousse cake is light which I love! Great bakery with affordable prices!

walked past this place on a grocery run and had to stop in and take a look at the asian breads they offered. great prices on everything, they've even got a rotating wire rack of curry puffs and chasu puffs...that sold it for me. staff is quick but not exceptionally rude and they take CASH ONLY! a little bit of seating tucked away in the back and they sell tap drinks too. bought a bunch of their melty center mooncakes and will try them out! cool fillings such as matcha and durian and melty custard and traditional fillings like mixed nut and egg yolk too.

This is my favorite Asian bakery in Woodside (so far lol). This place is pretty new to the neighborhood and therefore very clean. There are a good amount of fresh baked goods to choose from as well as other assortments such as cookies & bread that are pre packaged. At the counter, they also have more choices such as roast pork buns, chicken buns etc along with coffee and bubble tea! Fay Da is quite affordable with each item averaging about $1.50. Most of the time, I'll get about 4-5 baked goods and 2 coffees which add up to about $10 or so. I've only been here early in the morning on weekends so far when it's quite slow and everything is super fresh. Not sure how busy it gets throughout the day. The customer service is so-so at the counter. They can sometimes be a little short with you. Also, one downside is no bathroom ugh!

Randomly, walked by today as it's located next to H.F. Dollar & Up grocery store up from the 61st station. Time of Visit: 4-5 pm Wait: None Price: 4 items for $6.20 Service: Eh. Items ordered: Denmark twist - Japanese cheesecake slice - Scallion & Green Pea twist - Chocolate Walnut Bun. Would I return: yes Notes: - Check your tongs before you grab them. This Asian style bakery concept might be new to many folks in the area, as majority of the people were returning their tongs back to the front after they've used them. Perhaps a little sign would be needed. **UPDATE: They got a sign!** -They also do hot pastries by the cashier -CASH ONLY Positive Points: - They have Japanese cheesecake! - They have a few pastries I don't usually see (scallion & green peas?!?) Pretty good btw. - Good price - Great location - seems like a good place to get a little something in the morning. Why the 4 out of 5 ? -I wish they didn't squish my twist into a small baggie. All my items were tossed into their own little plastic bags and then all tossed into one big plastic bag. Perhaps, I'm just a fan of presentation. I can't say "it's as good as it gets" but I can see myself going back should my craving for Japanese Cheesecakes get out of hand.

So happy they had opened a Fay Da in Woodside. I've been coming here pretty often since their opening. My go-tos are the hot dog buns, tiramisu (in the refrigerated section), egg tarts, red bean smoothies, and coffee milk tea with less sugar. The staff at this Fay Da are extremely friendly and nice. Most of them speak fluent English, unlike other Fay Da's. Because the Mid Autumn Festival is coming soon, I've seen their shelves lined with moon cakes! So awesome.

Love, love, love this place. I'm happy found it. My husband and I used to go to flushing for the bakeries now we have one right here in Woodside a short walk away. The food is excellent - always fresh, the place is clean and the employees are friendly and helpful. My favorites there are the hot dog rolls and the egg custard steamed buns. The cakes are amazing too. The Valentine's cake I got was perfect. Melt in your mouth chocolate outside, light and fluffy inside and a nice little piece of "I love you chocolate" on top. Definitely worth every penny.

I stopped by after walking pass this establishment while waiting for my daughters dental appointment. My intention was to get a strong cup of coffee but once I stepped in I was curious to try a bun. The place is new it seems and very clean. I ended up getting a coffee and bun with lemon. It was really good, airy and light. Customer service was great too. Definitely will stop by to try their bubble tea next time.

Leaving a review after visiting this place regularly for the past two years. The stuff is really hit or miss, especially the items inside the heated case. I've purchased heated items from inside the case (specifically the lotus leaf wrap) and multiple times it was rancid (spoiled). The individual cakes inside the case were also stale on multiple occasions (freshness depends on how long the tray was out). I understand that the store's items are not fresh every day but selling stale or rancid items to save on food cost is a health hazard. On top of that, prices have increased but quality has gone down.

Cakes and pastries and sweets oh my! One of my fav neighborhood bakeries and not just for their goodies but they are reasonably priced too. They are also Conveniently located by the 61st street train station. They sell their yummy cakes by the slice too! as well as hot and cold drinks and other Asian pastry desserts. If your sweet tooth is kicking in and you're in the neighborhood make sure to stop in and try their tiramisu cake!

Relatively new location of this popular Chinese bakery chain. As a result, it is super clean. Same great selection of meat and veggie buns, rolls, breads, cakes and hot and cold coffee or tea drinks. However, with this being one of their smaller locations, the selection is actually smaller than others. There is also barely any seating as a result as well. Quality is still good though.

Great service and fresh baked pastries made everyday. Cash only! I purchased a cake for a friends birthday. They provided plates, candles a "Happy Birthday" sign, cake cutter and forks all for $20. The cake was delicious and had fresh fruit on top.

Delicious buns and coffee. Cash only FYI. I recommend the taro bun, chocolate walnut bun, or the coconut cream bun. They also have savory buns, steamed buns, and bubble tea. Great breakfast to grab before a train ride. I love their buns!!!!!!! :)

Just came for a coffee here, but they have a selection of pastries and baked good as well. The seating area is small. The selection of pastries & baked goods don't seem to be as big as the Chinatown stores but that could be just my passing impression. The staff spoke English and Chinese.

I really enjoy this place. Unlike rainbow cafe bakery, they have steamed veggie buns, two of those can be a meal. I've tried there hot dog bun, steamed custard bun, steamed chicken bun. This is like any other fay da and they are always well stocked. Only complaint is that they don't really accommodate eating inside because there is only three measly tables with chairs. Not sure who design the store, but there are definitely better layouts they could have chosen. Not really a place you can sit and eat and enjoy the space. Might as well be just a store front with a window you can just grab food and go.

Looking for a quick bite to eat with only 5 minutes to go before my train. picked up a tuna roll which was this cylindrical bread with a scoop of tuna baked into it. I've never had anything like it. Surprisingly good, and filling. I also had a chocolate cinnamon bun for dessert that was really good too. Less than $2 each! Next time I plan to do a better job of exploring the neighborhood. Reminded me of an episode of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. Rest In Peace, Tony

Brand spankin' new location of one of NYC's most widespread, reliable Chinese bakery chains. I was surprised to see them open since the Chinese community isn't as concentrated in Woodside as others. Prices are identical to the Flushing location, but this one still has that "Grand Opening!" sparkle before it develops the accumulated grossness of people squatting at the tables for hours. All the buns are fresh and neatly arranged, cakes in their display case definitely looked fresher than the condensation-blurred case at the Flushing location. We got a small mango mousse cake - always a tasty, light, cute go-to from Fay Da. The manager (?), an attentive, friendly Asian American guy, assured me that the cakes were all made fresh that morning or the night before. It was indeed very fresh and exactly what we were looking for. Classic buns to get would be roast pork bun (with a dark, smooth, glossy top) and pineapple bun (crackly, streusel-like yellow top) - but I'm likelier to go for the hot, pillowy steamed buns with different fillings in the heated cases near the counter. Same price, twice the happiness, especially as it gets colder! I love Chinese bakeries and am actually overjoyed that Woodside finally has a couple (another just opened steps away: https://www.yelp.com/biz/woodside-rainbow-bakery-woodside). My mornings standing on the 7 train platform right above Fay Da now smell delicious.

It was nice to see this place and not be in the city. I didn't expect to come across it so it was a welcomed surprise. Although I wasn't looking for sweets, I could not avoid the temptation. I went with a sugared doughnut, raisin and cheese bread and my weakness the Napoleon (sliced). I have to say that the pastry did not satisfy me and were not as enjoyable as the Chinatown location. The Napoleon especially was disappointing, somewhat dry and lacking that unique taste. The staff was nice and the bubble tea was very good. Sucked there was no bathroom. Overall, I would go back another time if I am in the area to give it that second try.

Cute little place. They have a lot of pastries for cheap - I will have to try one next time. I had a taro bubble tea. Unfortunately it was overly milky (if that's a thing) and didn't really taste like taro tea at all. The medium was $3.50 which is on par. Cash only.

This Fay Da has the friendliest service I've ever encountered, it's almost a little weird, but definitely appreciate it. Chinese establishments aren't really known for their service, but this spot has some really friendly cashiers. Prices have gone up since it opened, but it's understandable because minimum wage did jump by $2, and by the rules of inflation, everything else goes up. Most items stay under $2 though, which is still pretty amazing, so I can't really complain about that. They have the Garlic bun here unlike the other places in Queens, which is nice because it's one of my favorites! I wish it had more garlic though. They also have a little bit more variety of cakes here than in Flushing, namely the Mocha Truffle and the Pink strawberry cake which is really cute.

So this is maybe just because it's a weekend, but I thought the hotdog bun was really dry? Is that just me? The breads smelled great but I was disappointed with the dry hot dog bun. The store is pretty big and not too crowded for the location. Parking is right in front so good to just drop by the place to pick up some breakfast and such. Pricier than the smaller private bakeries. Overall, meh but when you're hungry, go for itx

Fresh!! Unique style baked goods. They have amazingly moist Japanese cheesecakes available for only $20! (10 inches) or great dinner time desserts, like their vanilla roll ($12). With a mixture of savory, and pastry offerings - something for everyone. The staff is efficient and fast, which helps a lot as their stores tend to be located directly next to bus stops and trains, (which draws the commuter crowd, that wait inside until bus/train arrives, due to bad rain/winds). The Normandy cheesecake is my favorite offering they have, tied with the sweet topping bun!!!!!! Wow

Stopped by here while waiting for the train. Cute bakery with really good buns. Prices are fair and the selection is pretty large. I wish there was a bit more cheese and meat in the bun I got but still good. Unfortunately this place is cash only so be prepared. If you are in the area I'd stop by.

We stop and Fay Da every chance we get! Have been to this one (Woodside), Chinatown, and both places in Flushing and all have been very good and priced reasonably! Have the best sesame balls and taro cakes i've ever had. Stuffed buns and egg pastries are good as well. Recommend stopping in next time you are near one!

Best steamed buns in the game. Quality is unbeatable, you can smell the freshly baked bunz as soon as you walk in. Stop in at the right time and you can catch them still warm from the oven.

So far so good!!!!!!!! I've been coming here with my mother since it opened. The staff is super friendly - very consistent customer service I must add, and I don't know why but that's a rarity in Queens. We always get their tasty little coffee and the Japanese style cheesecake which never disappoints, very fluffy and yummy. I haven't tried their other offerings so I can't vouch for them, maybe in the future if I ever feel more adventurous. We love the location, it's right by the 61ST Woodside station. My mom usually gets a cheesecake slice before hopping on the 7 train to go to work.

Just bought a curry beef and chicken puff and hands down chicken was over the top delicious. Swallowed it so fast could not take a pic. I promise to take one nxt time.

I love Fay Da bakery! Been going to the one in flushing before this one. Their baked goods are fresh and tasty as usual. You can't stop after one bite. Prices are mediocre. Atmosphere is cute, small and neat! Thanks for opening one here!
