This is a hole in the wall with the most amazing sponge cakes. We tried original and Ube and both are so good and so cheap.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem Worth Finding!
Kam Hing Coffee Shop is truly a hidden hole-in-the-wall treasure! We stopped by and were blown away by their incredible sponge cakes – we tried the coconut and strawberry flavors, and both were light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious.
What made the experience even better was the staff. They went out of their way to modify our teas since we’re lactose intolerant, and the result was perfect – flavorful, refreshing, and just right.
This place has that cozy, authentic charm that’s hard to find. Amazing food, warm service, and unbeatable sponge cakes – definitely worth a visit!

I've been coming here since I was a kid, but not frequent. Now, I try to go at least once a week. My favorite pairing here is an iced milk tea and sponge cake. It's now my go-to spot to get milk tea.

Kam Hing Bakery/Raspberry Hibiscus Tea: While waiting in line, I had trouble reading the menu on account of multiple racy posters blocking my view. I ordered this drink as a consolation because my original choice was sold out. The tea was very refreshing and sweet; it surprisingly surpassed my expectations by a long shot!

I’ve tried nearly every flavor at Kam Hing, but nothing beats the original—especially when it is fresh out of the oven.
My mom’s a loyal regular here. I swear there’s always sponge cakes from Kam Hing at home almost every week.
Their sponge cakes are like a fluffy cloud, with a soft bounce and egg flavor. They are so light that you can easily devour a few without feeling heavy.
(1) Original 原味 Got super lucky and caught a fresh batch of the OG, so of course we grabbed three right away. They were piping hot when we got them. The lightly browned crust was still crispy, while the cake was impossibly moist and soft. Best eaten within minutes!
(2) Ube 紫薯 - My go-to. You can actually taste the ube in this one.
(3) Coconut 椰子 - Mixed with coconut bits for texture.
(4) Pandan 斑蘭 - The pandan flavor is super faint, so I skip it most times.
(5) Butterscotch 奶油糖果 - The owner’s personal pick! He gave us one to try It’s sweet and caramel-y like a soft candy cake.
(6) Green Tea 綠茶 - It tastes mild and grassy like chinese green tea, but still pleasant.
(7) Pistachio 開心果 - Limited flavor. My second favorite. The pistachio flavor doesn’t taste artificial at all. Very nutty.
＊Green Thai Tea I actually never tried their drinks until now—and omg, it was a surprise hit! They gave me a less-sweet version without me even asking, and it was bursting with jasmine tea flavor. Definitely getting this again
indeed this is one of the best sponge cakes. Be sure to bring cash. Also took Horlicks Milk. Tasted mostly like water. Not sure if it is because I did not take sugar or because there was less horlicks. But the cake is great.

This cash-only establishment is a staple in Chinatown and known for their soft and fluffy sponge cakes. It's a bit hidden, but has seating on the inside, where you can enjoy your food and drinks. The staff here was so so friendly and sweet--giving me recommendations on drinks and their sponge cakes. I highly recommend coming earlier in the day as I went at around 3pm and most of their spongecake flavors (except 4) were already sold out by then.
I ended up getting their pandan, chocolate chip, and classic sponge cakes as well as their green thai tea drink and everything was delicious. The sponge cakes were probably some of the fluffiest sponge cakes I've ever tried and the green thai tea was sweet and paired well with the cakes. My favorite cake was probably the chocolate but all were delicious. I would love to come back to try some of their other flavors!

Visited on the last day of my trip to New York and was craving a sweet treat to end the journey. The staff were lovely and prepared my order quickly—an iced yinyang (tea and coffee) and an iced lemon tea. We also ordered the original and pandan cakes, which were light and fluffy. Hopefully, I’ll get to visit again!

Super cute and small shop. They have original and flavors - I went at the end of the day and they had original, chocolate, and banana chocolate left. Ube is the first to sell out. The banana chocolate was delicious! 1.50 each.

$1.25 for plain, $1.50 for flavored I had the ube, pandan, and rose lychee (which had a strong, but not unpleasant, artificial rose flavor). I liked the ube the most. The sponge cake is denser and chewier than other sponge cakes I've eaten at Chinese bakeries, a very addicting texture. The place has a surprising amount of seating.
