BreadZone

Service is super bad! I ordered mix sauce noodle and asked for extra sauce and they won’t give it to me. Ask me to use soy sauce! Won’t go back again.

This place is pretty clean & efficient. I prefer to go here than to the other Chinese bakeries on 86^th st… just get a better feeling about this store.
There is a variety of treats to choose from, & they’ve recently expanded their hot foods selection. I always get the white noodles – they come with lots of crunchy veggies & pieces of ham. Great for breakfast or lunch & they give you a HEAPING portion for only $ 2.
Service is not impeccable, and they skimp on sauces, but for the cheap price on the food, I’ll deal with it. Thumbs up!

The buns and cakes at BreadZone lack an authentic taste that I prefer. Almost all of their buns have this harder shell and on the inside, it’s not as soft as the buns should be. In a way, it seems like they’re stale. i would not recommend their egg tarts and peanut mochi. Their egg tart custard is too solid and the crust is not flaky like it should be. The mochi itself wasn’t very flavorful and the texture was just off. The peanuts didn’t stick to the mochi as it should have. The only reason why I’m not giving this place a ¹⁄₅ is because their service is alright, depending on who is taking your order. However, their cheesecake looked very appetizing, as well as their mousse cakes. Once I try them, I will update this review.

If I can’t decide what I want to east for breakfast, this is my to go spot. I always get the beef rice roll with egg. This is the only place that I know you can add an egg.
There ramen noodle soup is pretty good. I’m a RAMEN LOVER, their grill chicken is super yummy and their broth is like just right for me (its not too salty or bland).
IF YOU ORDER A LOT OF FOOD FROM THERE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THEY GIVE YOU EVERYTHING. THERE WERE FEW TIMES WHEN THEY FORGOT A BUN OR A DISH.

I come here for breakfast most of the time. I really enjoy their chow mei fun ($ 2), their fried rice ($ 2), their chicken macaroni ($ 2), and their ha cherng ($ 3). Their food is tasty as well as their cold milk tea; it’s refreshing to drink on a hot summers day.

decent sticky rice, If I wake up and put the vaporizer down early enough, i will update my review on their take out dim sum. stupidly I went in the afternoon and missed it. traffic block. not worth the trip unless its GOOO

This bakery has opened for a few years already. While I don’t come to this bakery very much, it’s quite spacious compared to other bakeries along 86^th street and Bay Parkway. The staff here are very friendly, nice, and helpful.
I recently came here for a large coffee and they made it just right and tasted really good. I may just come back here again for a coffee.
I tried their cakes before and it’s okay, but not excellent.

With about 4 different Chinese bakeries available in a 2 block radius, you’d have to really stand out in order to be successful, which BreadZone does… but only barely. BreadZone’s strength lies in their diverse selection of snacks, lunch items, and packaged breads making it a «one stop shop» for the locals, as opposed to the specialty shops in the area. The dark décor gives off a coffeehouse vibe for those who order their hot drinks (coffee, milk tea, HK milk tea, etc.) and enjoy a small pastry such as their egg tarts, tea cakes, or buns (lovingly known as «baos»). From morning until afternoon, they offer lunch items such as rice noodle rolls, sticky rice in banana leaf, spring rolls, and rice combos at cheap prices, which you can grab on the go before making hopping onto the D train for your early commute. My personal favorites are their $ 1.75 fish filet sandwich (fried tilapia with lettuce and tomato in a baked bun), egg tarts (nothing fancy, simply made on a cookie crust), Malaysian cakes, and dried shrimp and chive rice rolls.
All in all, it’s a good place that offers classic Chinese bakery fare at inexpensive prices. Totally worth your time if you don’t feel like paying $ 10+ for a roast beef on baguette with rosemary aioli along with your fair-​trade dark roast.

Inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Pastries/​breads tend to be really dry and the drinks overly milky or sweet. The staff is a little off-​putting, they often mess up orders and i am constantly being ordered to «sit! sit!» while waiting at the counter for my drink, when i can’t sit because it is often very crowded and all the tables are full. I got a ginger latte and it was like drinking one of those Hot Tamale candies in liquid form, very bizarre and not that enjoyable. wouldn’t recommend.

This is one of the pricier bakeries around the neighborhood, but its certainly cleaner. The bread is larger too. I tried the hot dog, ham and egg, and raisin baos. It’s a bit dry. My favorite would be the ham and egg bao. For the hot food, I tried the congee and the rice noodles. The congee tastes very flavorful and clean. The milk tea is too sweet! Ask for less sugar.

I come here about once every month or so for their Hong Kong style milk tea, which is pretty yummy. However, their dim sum and other food selection is typically not that good. I have consistently been disappointed by almost everything that I’ve eaten there… had dumplings where the skin was super dried out, noodles that have been very unflavorful with little meat, and fried buns that had almost no meat inside… the one thing that I do like there, which I haven’t seen very often, is the steamed turnip cake.
I have not tried the steamed buns or baked goods, so it is possible they are yummier.
Service, I do think is a little bit better than at other Chinese bakeries, meaning that they are pleasant and tend to not ignore you when you are waiting on line. :)

++this would be the ‘quickest dim sum’, without waiting for carts or limited at hours of service;
+ shrimp rice noodle
+scallion pancake
and had coffee
–small tables
–the staff behind the counter don’t manage the people sitting and therefore nobody gets up, you’ll see someone with a newspaper just sitting there and look as if they are sitting at home… it’s RUDE.
Hence, takeout would be best.
I like to try again, the desserts looked good.

When i first saw the name i assumed it was a regular bakery, but to my suprise it’s an Asian bakery.
They sell all types of Asian baked goods such as hot dogbuns, red beanbuns, and other goodies. They also sell some dim dum, but choices are limited. They do sell coffee and several types of teas.
The store is pretty clean but not the bathroom. They have Alot of tables which are usually full with old people, not just asians, many times i can’t find a seat.
It’s a good place to get a snack and some coffee. The food could be better tasting, but it’s a bread zone. Prices are very good, not at all pricey.

Came here twice when I moved to the neighborhood. I think bread zone is one of the cleaner bakery shops that has seats available. Their bakeries are pretty huge. I came here and got both different kind of red bean paste buns. They are both warm and delicious as if they just made it fresh. I think I prefer this bakery compare to most of the bakeries I had in Manhattan.
Cheap + clean. and there is always seats.

taishanese soft cakes !! Enough said :)
This place is pretty much your go to chinese bakery with reasonable prices. For once, the names of their food are accurate and there aren’t any spelling errors. As for the atmosphere and interior, it’s definitely better than the hole — in — a — wall across the street. It feels more welcoming to customers of all ages whereas the one across the street seems to only cater to old folks…
Aside from baked buns and pastries they also serve dim sum and hot savory foods, so you can get your rice rolls and wontons along with your pineapple buns and sponge cake.

I go to bread zone all the time and yet it’s kinda funny how I’ve never reviewed this place until now. Breadzone has a variety of foods to chose from ranging from baked buns to noodle and rice dishes to chicken or beef combo lunch boxes. They have it all for an extremely affordable price. $ 7 can get you a really good lunch here. You should drop by this place if you’re feeling hungry. The décor is fancier than most Asian bakeries and on certain days, it’s a place filled with local Asian grandmas and grandpas. This place is cheap and filling, just the way I like it. They also make a great cold milk tea since it’s summer and all.

Ive been coming here since theyve opened and I have to say most everything is delicious. Ive also had the chance to purchase 2 cakes here, a large one to feed over 50 people and a smaller one for just 8 people and they were both beautifully decorated, fresh and delicious! My favorite bun is definitely the taro. They also make seasonal foods like turnip dumpling soup, congee (ingrediants based on season currently its dried vegetable) They also have a great cup of coffee, not ash tray wash like many other chinese bakeries. for dim sum try the sparerib over rice noodle, and the veg. dumplings are tasty too. im surprised there are less than a handful of reviews on this place as its really good and one of the better bakeries on 86^th st.
they now offer noodle soups and lunch special rice dishes. I have yet to try, but Ive seen the empty bowls piled up by the tray return counter and ive seen many people scarfing it down. It definitely looks good when i see people stuffing their face and not looking up.

BreadZone feels different to me than other Chinese bakeries — they’re more clean & modern-​looking with their interior. Prices are still about the same (which I LOVE) & everything they offer is usually offered at other Chinese bakeries as well. They just do it much better though. Ordered myself an iced HK-​style tea & it was so perfectly savory, really hit the spot.
On top of the goodies they sell, the ladies & staff members are so NICE & helpful. It’s definitely a sweet upgrade from the typical Chinese bakery. Will see you again soon, BreadZone :).

BreadZone tries to remove the typical image of Chinese bakery, replacing it with a new fresh one.
This place is modern-​looking, not like the traditional chinese bakery (décor). Good looking. Bright colors. And got a website when it was launched. Packaging is nice too. Each individual baked bread is wrapped with BreadZone’s own bag (not like the regular white bag), and it has the logo on it too! You can reseal it if you don’t finish it right away. thats good! This place also have a digital menu behind the cashier, then a big tv on the wall.
Food-​wise, B to B+, not wonderfully great, not terribly bad. Some bread/​pastry are cool, like that pizza. Then the cakes, looking nice, alot of them are mousse. For the typical Chinese breakfast (chow mein, chow fen, congee, etc), I still prefer the traditional bakery. You don’t get much chow fen/​mein here.
Tried their bubble tea. Forget it, go to Quickly. Tapioca = mushy :(and obviously, the drink is just made from powder (you see the jars on the racks lol)
Overall, its a nice place to chill and chat.

One day, my boyfriend and I were strolling around 86^th Street in Brooklyn, NY. We felt semi-​hungry and wanted to eat a snack. We saw a BreadZone Bakery which recently grand opened so we went straight inside. The bakery looks very well organized; pastries and cashier on the left side while the seating area is on the right. The interior is pretty modern with menus shown in actual TVs. The first thing that I looked for on the menu was HK Milktea and yes, they DO have it! Then I saw my favorite Egg Custard which I gotta get too. Oh goodie, this bakery had exactly what I wanted.
There is no doubt that I loved the hot cup of HK Milktea, especially the bittertaste, along with the delicious Egg Custard!
My only complaint was that they have limited pastry selections but this bakery is definitely a great place for people who like to eat a little and chit-​chat a little.
