Spongies Cafe Reviews
OMG...this IS the best sponge cake you'll have in NYC. I've had my fair share looking for one that compares to the original Kam Hing. The owner apprenticed with the original Kam Hing owner and finally opened his own cafe! Can't go wrong with the original flavor but the pandan coconut is sooooo goood! it's my new fav! This is my new go to place for sponge cakes!

Spongies Cafe is a cozy bakery known for its light, fluffy, and delicious sponge pastries, considered by many to be the best in Chinatown. The cafe offers a variety of flavors, including unique twists on traditional flavors such as black sesame, red velvet, and pandan spongies, as well as refreshing drinks like blue moon lemonade. Customers have noted good portion sizes at reasonable prices, with options like $1.50 spongies, making it a perfect on-the-go snack. The cafe has received praise for its Asian-inspired flavors, such as sesame, matcha, and purple yam, which are soft, moist, and not too sweet, catering to an Asian palate. The owner is described as incredibly kind and accommodating, making it an excellent small coffee and cake place where customers can enjoy delightful sponge cake, especially the coconut flavor, alongside a cup of coffee or matcha, all at an affordable price. The atmosphere may be busy and full, but customers appreciate the friendly service and often return daily for their favorite treats. Spongies Cafe is truly a hidden gem, perfect for anyone looking for light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet sponge cakes at an incredible value.
