QQ Cafe & Bakery

Good food at a reasonable price. Place is very small
5 tables only. If you have a big party. You can forget it.

I highly recommend the small plates like pan fried dumplings, steamed vegetarian dumplings, and scallion beef pancakes. The entrees such as beef noodle soup and spicy noodles are mediocre and BAD, respectively.
I’d come here for some delicious appetizers and small plates tho!
tldr: decent local eats with good small plates and mediocre-​to-​bad entrees

Not too many tables here to begin with. Guy at the register decided to give our table to another party even though we were here first claiming they were there first. We ordered as soon as we walked in. Maybe it’s because we don’t speak the same dialect like the other party did. No apology was offered of course. Just the usual Chinese confrontational approach when we questioned him about it (mind you, I’m Chinese as well). Food is okay.

I really like the coffee and croissants here!
They need to make more bread, they always run out of a bunch of stuff by midday.
It’s a good place to have a seat and enjoy a nice cup of coffee without being bothered.
My only real complaint is the older lady behind the register with the glasses… Why is she always so rude?!

My favorite is the spicy beef noodle there in the past. It’s a perfect combination. I tried scallion pancake, fried dumplings and shredded beef with pepper today. All came out good. The only thing I don’t like the place is that the dining room gets cold in the winter which made my dishes cold really quickly.

This is a great spot for snack, bakeries and Taiwanese style combinations rice and noodles. Overall, fresh bakeries with good variety. Eating area is considerably spacious in comparison with other Asian café. My favorite is the deep fried pork chop on rice and I always order Tea egg on the side.

QQ is usually packed by 7AM and are usually busy until 9/​10AM. Service is pretty good as they try to be as quick as possible and they are not rude. This is not just a bakery as they also serve cooked foods (noodles, rice etc.). The bread display is pretty clean and neat, and they have a seating area inside.
The breads are not bad, usually pretty fresh. One must try bun is the taro bun, which I have not seen at other Asian bakeries. It is this white bun with purple swirls on it and the inside is filled with taro. It is soft and sweet, but not overly sweet. Just perfect. The cooked food is not bad, there are many many choices. The only negative is that sometimes there is too much oil (but that’s the same for all Chinese noodles).
For a quick in and out bakery, this place is good.

This review is just for the Beef Noodle Soup! It’s authentic and the broth is just right. It’s actually a Café but I do not try their bakeries. May be next time!

I’m pretty much only reviewing this place based on the yogurt, but it’s delicious– it’s not like the watery crap that is Yoplait or any other American yogurt. Greeks stole it from Northern Asians (Mongol/​Xinjiang/​Tibet, etc.) and it’s amazing. It’s exactly like the yogurt I had when I was little and I’m so glad there’s something remotely close to it.
It just makes me happy man.

Love their Taiwanese beeg noodle soup. The meat are tender together with sour veggie, tea egg and rich beef broth. It’s spicy too if you like hot food. I not so impressed with thier bakeries though.

I’ve been in a few times and their mochi is excellent; they carry green tea and peanut. It’s gooey and rolled in coconut, which I really like, but they don’t offer a non-​coconut option. Good cookies, too. I’ll be trying it again soon.

this bakery is definitley a little more pricy than the other ones [tai-​pan, fay da] in flushing. i come here occasionally when i’m too lazy to walk for another 2 blocks to tai-​pan. they also dont have as many selections at tai-​pan or fay da

I’ve only been to this bakery once so far and I’m sure the appropriate review will be posted within the next 2 visits.
Some notes…
This bakery sits on the ground floor of a semi-​medium residential complex residing right on top of it.
The place was packed by 7am.
Packed by Asians.
The displays of FRESH baked goods were on full presentation and everything looked clean.
In another life I must have been a food inspector because I meticulously chose through a bunch of baked goods to sort out the best displayed ones that would be ingested by me after purchase.
YAY ME for attention to detail.
The service at ANY Chinese bakery during the wee early mornings can be expected as non-​friendly but I didn’t mind this.
Neither should you.
Not everyone is a morning person, and I’m sure I am DEFINITELY not that person neither.
You do get a free Chinese newspaper with I’m assuming a minimum purchase of $ 5 worth of edible goods.
This only is a bonus if you can READ Chinese (I unfortunately can not).
I did grab it anyway for the mom which could double as a rain shield for me since I was not armed with an umbrella that day in case it rained.
It also serves as a fly swatter, portable seat protector (on the subway/​buses) and maybe even a toilet cover for those days you need to sit down and handle your business.
None of which applied to be that day but in NYC… YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.
Are they better than Fay Da Bakery?
I don’t think so but I will have to see if they are consistent first.
Are they better than Tai Pan Bakery?
Could be.
Are they better than any baked goods that are served at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Mcdonald’s, Subway, and others (just in case I missed a few names)?
You can bet on it.

Of the bakeries in Flushing, the sweet snacks here are my favorite. Love love love their honey cake: a spread of honey sandwiched between infinitely thin layers of sponge cake. Surprisingly not too sweet. It can be found on the counter next to the register. I also adore their cream puffs, which are filled with fluffy whipped cream instead of heavy custard. The pastry is airy, every-​so-​slightly salty to compliment the sugary filling.
Aside from the classic breads and pastries, QQ Café also serves more «modern» and «healthy» options made from whole wheat. I admit I’m not much of a fan of their mad scientist creations. One time I tried a black sesame bun filled with sweet mochi (rice cakes), which defied all rules of complimentary flavors and texture. I’m confused about how they were able to bake/​embed those mochi in that bread.
Cash only. Don’t expect service with a smile, but since it’s mostly self-​serve, you shouldn’t have many issues even if Chinese isn’t your first language.

One of the very best in Flushing.
My friend introduced me to this café last week. At first glance, it seems like a normal Chinese bakery but their enormous menu puts them ahead of the other cafes in Flushing.
I got a coffee, pineapple bun, and a beef noodle. The coffee was subpar and the bun tasted fine. Their beef noodle was very good. It tasted fresh, noodles were well done, beef was tender, and soup was savory.
All in all, it was a good experience. I will coming here again.

Pretty Good!
I’m happy too eat here… although I don’t know what I’m eating. I cannot speak Chinese and am at a disadvantage communicating. I usually like what I get.
They are known for their breakfasts… Pork Buns, Scallion Bread and a Rice Noodle, Egg & Choi Pancake are all really good.
They are also known for their beef soup. I like it, but I’m only comparing it to Happy Beef Noodle in Flushing (they are closed now :() So I’m not an authority on Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. Wish I was an authority.
I also like their Egg Tarts, Yummy!
The sandwiches can be really good or really challenging, but mostly good. They sell lots of them for lunch.

Pro: They have great beef noodles soups!
Con: Their birthday fruit cakes are not the best. I bought one there before and it lacked moisture. It was very dry and taste like pound cake.
Tips: Very hard to find street parking around the area. It’s mostly metered parking. 25 cents for 15 minutes only. Cash only. No credit card accepted

I went here and bought a large coffee, 2 small pineapple buns, and a chicken sandwich.
The coffee made my friend run to the bathroom.
The pineapple buns were not good. They weren’t crispy and tasted like plastic.
The chicken sandwich DID taste good, but it did not agree with my stomach.

I’ve traveled across the nation in search of a yummy Chinese beef noodle soup and I finally found it here! Took me only 10 years ~_​~ This beef noodle soup definitely reminds me of what I used to get in Taiwan. Yes there are better ones out there but this flavor is one of my fav. ones I haven’t had in a long time. The place was hot and no a/​c but the noodle soup was still worth it. The bowl was huge and decently priced.

A local friend brought me here to try noodles and dumplings, a relatively recent find for her as well. From the outside and when you initially walk in, it looks like a Chinese bakery. But behind the big left-​side counter, there is an impressive menu with photos of tons of food items also on offer. Lots of small tables on the right side, with a row lined all the way up to the back. Casual, quick eats atmosphere.
We ordered a beef noodle and fried dumplings. Excellent value, just a few dollars apiece. Took a surprisingly long time to prepare; these are my friend’s regular items and she notes the wait time is usual. When we did get them and settled down with some condiments to sample, I was pleased to find they were quite well-​made and tasty. The beef noodle soup, an enormous bowl filled with thick, toothsome noodles, tender beef chunks, pickled relish, loads of chopped cilantro and scallions, and a slow-​cooked hard-​boiled egg. Delicious broth. Fantastic bowl of noodle soup. Those fried dumplings were just as good. Thin, pliant skin, crisp fried on one side, long and filled with pork and chives. Yum for those.
Really great beef noodle soup and fried pork/​chive dumplings. Great for cheap and filling eats. Why can’t this quality of take-​out be in my neighborhood?
