Stopped in here because the display is amazing. Place is clean and smells so yummy. Quick service great teamwork. Cakes are the cutest and had to get one for home. I got the a festive new year cake (strawberry shortcake) and not only was it beautiful but it was light and not overly sweet. Found my cake spot!!

2 large coffee (pretty good coffee at that) and a really good cream bun for $7.50. Starbucks should stay on strike for good.

stopped at this Chinatown bakery for some much needed calories after a day of to-do's and still the rest of the day to get even more done downtown. the cafe is fairly spacious--a selection of cakes and pastries behind glass display and a number of sweet as well as savory buns, rolls, and sandwiches for easy-grab-n-go meal. there's seating in the back of the cafe. Audrey's also serves a variety of coffee, tea, and juice drinks. there's a nice variety of sandwiches which it made it hard to choose. ended up going with a chicken sandwich--a fried breaded chicken patty with lettuce, tomatoes, and a sauce sandwiches between a soft roll. fresh flavors. it looked good and tasted good. tbh, i am glad i got a sandwich (not some junk food calories) as it was relatively a quick bite to eat as i made my way through the rest of my errands. the service was quick and pleasant. would definitely stop by here again for a quick meal and/or a coffee. not every good meal has to be a long affair but can be short and sweet..err, savory in this case.

I stumbled upon this bakery and they had a large assortment of baked goodies. I love that there was seating at the back, and this bakery is a great spot to loiter. I tried this unique bread with egg, lettuce, pork floss, and ham inside which really stood out to me. I haven't tried anything like this and was blown away by how good it tasted. This was a great spot, and the staff also made my drink pretty quick.

I come here on some weekends for their baked buns which are freshest in the morning. Avoid going first thing in the morning when they open, not much of a selection will be available. Plus, they also have a location on Canal St they supply in the morning. Pre-Covid mostly all the buns were not wrapped before going in the case. This was not ideal because there were times the staff had to ask customers not to touch the food with their bare hands. Now everything is wrapped but there are still people that grab with their hands then change their mind and put it back. But this place has always looked clean unlike the more traditional bakeries in Chinatown. The buns here are a mix of traditional and modern. From time to time, they introduce new offerings to keep things fresh. There is one in particular that I will not try again, the chicken pizza. Instead of using tomato sauce they use ketchup and it's sickly sweet. There's also a more American offering that's been around since they opened, a sausage, egg & cheese bun. Just not a fan of the mayo they add. Their coffee is serviceable, but the flavor isn't the same as the other shops in the area. Other than that, most of their baked buns are pretty solid. Their nut buns are a good choice if you don't want anything too sweet or salty.

Chinatown bakeries have definitely expanded in sweets options last time I've visited. This place has been around for a long time and it took the last day of my Invisalign treatment to realize this place existed near my dentist's office. Loved how spacious and clean this place is. All the cake slices, puddings, and rolls are fresh here. Plenty of seating in this bakery and very clean. Was a pitstop before going back to my dentist and was craving for a milk tea small size. The size was cute but I was shocked there was a small size close to the same size of an espresso shot. Order the medium size if you want a basic 10oz sized drink. Wished I could've tried the cakes here as they seem so decadent and delicious. Lots of customers came here because of the various sweets options. It's not in the central areas of Chinatown so many customers were willing to make the extensive walking trip here. Next time I'll be back for the matcha green tea cake slice. Mark my words Audrey bakery.
