Savoy Bakery

Food
— Corn Muffin: Was delicious. Brought back memories of the corn bread that I enjoyed as a kid.
— Walnut Cupcake: Not really a cupcake but that’s what they labeled it. More of a muffin. It was yummy and each bite had at least one walnut in it.
Experience
Came here today because my friends were raving about how good their food is and I was also in dire need of food so I could get through work.
The ladies working behind the counter was less than helpful. I asked one of them what was in a particular bread and she just waved me off and told me to read the sign and then resume her conversation with the other lady. If I could understand, then I wouldn’t ask you. –_​–
The ladies working there also made me feel really uncomfortable. From the moment I walked in, their eyes were following my every move. I just wanted to see what you were offering, geez.
Their food was good so I’ll definitely be coming back. Maybe this time I’ll order to go instead of sitting in.
Their items might seem cheap but it is pretty pricey if you compare it to the size of the item.

Please keep in mind that this place has been bought over or remodeled recently. This location was closed for some time during the past year. I’m sure this is the reason the prices are exaggerated now. I came in this bakery this morning bought a drink and asked for a cup of ice. Needless to say the cashier wanted to charge me $ 1 for the ice. She pointed to a sign which states that they charge 25 cents for each additional item that you ask for, napkins included! This is outrageous and just greedy! I will not be stopping by this bakery again. They’re prices are ridiculous charging $ 2.25 for a small iced coffee. There are so many bakeries in this area similar to this one their iced coffee is $ 1.25. That’s a dollar difference. Come on! I don’t mind paying a little more for quality, but I refuse to pay more when their is clearly no difference in other bakeries I’ve been to.

I never used to go there until they moved near my station. Now I have to get a cup of coffee from them every morning. The staff is friendly and nice. I am glad they moved.

They open 6:60 am M-​Sa and 8 am on Sundays. Needless to say, their baked stuffs are fresher and tastier soon after they open. I tried pork bun, chestnut bread, and Neutella toast. They were all good. I recommend to go to this place early.

I came here one afternoon for a quick bite. It is extremely close to the D train 9^th avenue station. I ended purchasing the ham, tomato, egg sandwich. It was alright. It costs $ 1.50 which is a great deal. I also got a small, hot coffee, and it was a dollar. The prices a bit higher than in the other Chinese bakeries closer to Bensonhurst. I wish they had a bathroom and more seating. There are a handful of metal stools and a small counter with a window view.

This is right on my way to the train, so it’s a natural choice for breakfast. My boyfriend and I typically get a couple pork buns and I get a small coffee. ($ 3) The pork buns are just the slightest bit sweet and completely delicious. The coffee comes with milk in it and I usually drink it black, but I enjoy theirs quite a bit. The staff is very nice. You should try it!

There’s not really much to say about this Asian bakery on the corner of 39^th — it’s a really short walk from the hotel that we stayed in, and has awesome desserts. Even more awesome bubble tea.
LoML bought a slice of Japanese cheesecake at the counter person’s recommendation, as well as a slice of tiramisu. And I decided to try a bubble tea (mainly because I can’t seem to find a decent place in Baltimore to get it — we don’t have any kind of Asian enclave there. Which sucks. But anyway…). Horlick bubble tea — I’ve never heard of horlick, but hey, I got it simply for the name. It sounds dirty. (Hey, I have a dirty mind…)
We liked the Japanese cheesecake. It’s a LOT more airy and light, with a lot less sugar — it doesn’t sit in your stomach like a lead weight. I sure wish we could get that at home.
LoML says the tiramisu was good and compares to the one that he makes at home, though he did say that the coca powder topping was a little too much for his personal taste. All you have to do is blow it off, though — so, no big deal.
The horlick tea was… wow, it was interesting. It’s basically a milk tea with little… licorice-​tasting bubbles in it, that’s the best description I can come up with, and even that really doesn’t suffice. You’d have to try this for yourself, I think. It was delicious, though — I wasn’t used to the taste at first, but the more I drank of it, the better it became.
I wish we could take them home with us, because Baltimore is in desperate need of GOOD Asian cuisine. This is really good Asian cuisine.
God, we’re going to miss New York…

The walnut bun or roll or whatever it is, is one of the best bakery items I think I’ve ever had anywhere. Done. And. Done.

We got a pork bun, a cream cheese danish and a coconut-​filled thing — all for $ 3.15! As I had actually asked for 2 danishes, and only got one… the price made more sense, in retrospect. Note to self: check the bag before I leave.
That mix-​up aside — the pastries are amazing! So soft, sweet and yummy. Great place for a weekend breakfast treat.

Never coming here again.
The woman overcharged me for my drinks when the menu is clearly priced right in front of me. I asked about the price difference, but she was very adamant about what I had to pay. Alright, I’m not one to argue so I just pay for it… but they just lost a customer for life.
My drink was supposed to be a Lychee smoothie, but it didn’t have enough ice so it was a very runny smoothie. It was very sweet, but just poorly made.
It is unfortunate that I won’t be going back, because they have good egg tarts here too. Oh well, these chinese bakeries are a dime a dozen so no love lost here.

They now have Banh Mi for $ 3.75. You have a choice of Chicken or Pork. I normally go to Ba Xuyen, but the weather made me stay closer. The sandwich was really good. They told me to call them next time to place and order so it would be ready when I come by.

Delicious desserts and coffee, clean place, friendly staff for not speaking much english.
The cakes could be more delicious I guess but that’s okay because they’re cheap and served immediatley.

All I am going to say that I have been on the prowl of late, I have been consuming a lot of Coconut Crème rolls.
Well a Coconut Crème roll is a finely baked egg brushed roll split down the middle with this fine crème that’s is piped into its soft and fluffy interior.
The top of this roll is covered with some shredded coconut and with a slight sweetness. That’s one thing I love about Chinese bakery’s. They don’t kill their food with sugar.
They just kill me with their simplicity. Shit I need a Coconut Crème roll about now.

As far as bakeries go, this Savoy Bakery branch is pretty average. However, it’s all about location. The surrounding area is either very industrial or very residential. If you’re in a rush to catch a train there really isn’t any alternative. They have bubble tea, cakes, baked buns… the usual Chinese baked goods. The old lady that works behind the counter is really sweet and she brings back good memories of my grandmother. That alone is worth my daily $ 1.90 for breakfast…
