4 Best Bakeries near Rego Park

“I stumbled across this place after reading something online. Up until my visit, I had never had any food from Uzbekistan and that needed to change!

Because Austin Street is interrupted near this location getting here, or away from here, can be a little tricky. It's no big deal, but I wanted to mention it. Just follow GPS and grab any open parking spot when you get close. If taking the subway, it's a few short blocks from Queens Boulevard.

I arrived after 1pm, so I went with the Samsa's. They usually have lamb, beef, and pumpkin, but they were out of lamb. I tried a pumpkin ($3) and beef ($5) and both were very good. Neither was piping hot, but instead warm. The pumpkin had a hint of sweetness while the beef was savory. They both were more moist than I expected.

This is a bakery, not a cafe. As others have stated, it's a retail storefront, there isn't any seating. The gentleman who rang me up offered me a seat on a chair in the corner, which I was happy to take.

I picked up two more of each to take home, but I'm pretty sure eating them fresh is better. I think a microwave oven will ruin some of the flakiness of the pastry.

When I was there, all of the sweet baked goods were brought in from other kosher bakeries.

I'm looking forward to returning and trying the lamb and hopefully something else that's made on premises.“

“I had guests visiting from out of state, so we decided to check out the local restaurants. We ordered fried dumplings, lagman, chicken kebab, avocado salad, home-made bread, and a pot of tea. It was insanely delicious—we ate until we were stuffed. And we paid just $40 for dinner for the three of us! In the reviews, people say they’ve been coming here for years. Looks like this is now my favorite spot, too.“

“I have been here many times, they have delicious breakfast treats, all freshly made and reasonably priced. Sandwiches, cheese on toast and fresh cakes and bread are also available, and tea, coffee etc. Quite a few 2-person tables, so you can sit down and enjoy your food“

It is small & a little cramped, but it is clean & the service is polite & friendly. It is a relatively popular place.
The meals have improved significantly in quality & taste, the combo platters are a good buy! The bubble teas are as well for the variety in flavors (for a non boba place that is also an independent mom & pop shop) & reasonable sizes. I have tried only a few of the pastries; but the pineapple buns are decent in taste & price, generous in size (could have more filling tho), & it seems the muffins are popular, hoping to try one myself!“
