Egg Custard Buns and Mango Sago in Downtown Flushing
A Queens favorite for fresh, affordable sweet buns—especially black sesame and red bean—and mango sago desserts.
Why this stop works ✨
Rainbow Bakery sits on Main Street in the thick of downtown Flushing, a Chinese bakery stocked deep with breads, cookies, cakes, pastries, and pies. The counter moves fast, and the prices keep it easy to grab a whole bag.
The sweet buns are the reason to stop, especially the black sesame and red bean, both soft and fresh out of the case. Look past them for specialties like egg yolk custard buns and a cup of coconut milk with sago. Prices low enough to try five things at once are what keep the Flushing regulars loyal.
At 3.7 stars across 107 reviews, this reads as a dependable everyday bakery rather than a destination splurge. Come in the morning when the buns are freshest, mix a box of sweet and savory, and add a mango sago to eat on the walk.
