Hong Bao Cafe

This long-standing neighborhood spot sits directly across from the N train station, making it a quick stop for inexpensive, daily bakes. Beyond Chinese bakery staples like lemon buns, it offers a broader selection of breads than typical Asian bakeries. The egg tarts are built with a flaky crust and generous filling, and the iced coffee holds its own against the Starbucks and Dunkin' sharing the same block. Expect uncomplicated service and budget-friendly prices.
