M & W Bakery

Just like another branch on East Broadway, this bakery is a tiny long strip with limited seating. Yet a much better resemblance is that they offer two for one on bakeries such as egg tarts, triangular cakes, and sandwiches over the weekends. You probably think, there must be a catch. Well yeah, a small catch is that the egg tarts are not deep hence there’s not much filling. Nevertheless they are decent. The cakes are of decent sizes and tastes are standard. Service is quick and staff is friendly. One small disgruntle was that they don’t have green tea cakes as they advertise.

Decent pineapple bun, and very good HK style milk tea. I like how they add a combination of bubbles and grass jelly. I ask for mine without sugar because the bubbles are already sweet.

I was a fan of the warm pineapple bun here, and would come back for some taro buns and egg tarts if hankering.

Another new bakery shop appears in the heart of Chinatown on Bayard St. Looks like a new extension of M & W Bakery from E. Broadway. I decided to check it out and tried the following:
1) 2 Egg Tarts for $ 1.00 — The crust was soft and flaky, and the egg custard cream was creamy and not overly sweet. Pretty good egg tarts.
2) 1 bag of 8 Taro buns for $ 4.00 — This is new to me and not usually seen on any other bakery shops. The bun texture was soft and the taro paste was smooth, lightly sweetened and moist. You could taste the real taro ingredient. I like this bun a lot and is a must try for taro lover.
It may seem the shop has limited choices due to small space but what they offer are good quality. I will be back for more.

Still need a lot of things to improve.
Staffs were friendly, there were only two ladies but there were a lot of customers so I think they would need more workers. It’s a very narrow bakery, I think they should take out the 3 chairs that is there for the customers. It’s so small that you wouldn’t want to be crowded with people coming in and out of the store. There were not much space to stand and wait to be next. There is a little step that my friend kind of tripped on as she walked out of the store. I think they should fix this before someone really falls.
We got a lemon tea and a milk tea. both small and hot. We came to realized there were no sugar in our milk tea… the hot milk tea uses the teley tea bags so this is a plus for me. I dislike lipton teabags. I also got an egg slice cake. it’s standard. I would buy it again.
Location, I think it’s a GREAT idea to have a bakery here because there isn’t one on this block. And it’s much closer to me then other bakeries and I love drinking milk tea every morning.
They have 20% off for grand opening!!! this is definitely a plus!
