Kam Hing Coffee Shop
4.6 (759)bakery
A cozy Chinatown spot beloved for its exceptionally light, fluffy Chinese sponge cakes and warm family hospitality.
Description



Family-owned since 1984, this no-frills legacy spot is famous for sponge cakes that are moist and taste almost like a melting custard, without being mushy. Beyond the original recipe, the bakery rotates through flavors like green tea, chocolate chip, and coconut. The counter also turns out egg tarts, coconut tarts, and Bangkok tea. Inside, the surprisingly spacious room retains its old-school charm and a steady crowd of neighborhood locals.
