Forget everything you think you know about sponge cake . Kam Hing has the best in the city . Get 'em warm for just $.70. Disclaimer: you'll house four or five of these bad boys in one sitting. Read more

Serious Eats

Hole in the wall coffee shop you could easily skip except for the fragrant and ethereally light sponge cake , easily the best in Chinatown and a steal at 70 cents each.

Jess Naldo

Sponge cakes are FOR REAL. Ordered original & green tea for ONLY $1.70 and I already can't wait to try the coconut ! Sneaky hole in the wall so it's easy to pass this quick & cheap snack ... But don't!

Christina Chin

Hole in the wall place easily missed. Cheap good hk style milk tea and sponge cakes . Some seats available inside but feels like ur eating in storage area. Lol

ZenFoodster

Forget the BBQ Pork Bun , curry fish balls , rice noodles & the rest. Stick to their authentic HK-Style Milk Tea + famous SPONGE CAKE (plain, green tea , strawberry , etc) which are BEST in C’town!

Karen

Their sponge cakes are amazing, especially the green tea one. They sell out quickly, so make it your first stop in Chinatown.

Kimmie Ohh

Get their HK style milk tea & pair it with their sponge cakes !

Luciefer

Sponge cake ! They have plain, green tea , coconut , strawberry and white chocolate flavors as well . Haven't tried the strawberry or white chocolate , plain is still my favorite so far.

Omer Zach

Amazing and cheap sponge cake . Coffee comes pre-sweetened and with cream.

Patricia Lee

Great place for a small cup of Asian style sweet coffee and of course the sponge cake ! Always get the flavor they recommend :)

New Kam Hing has mastered the art of sponge cake . It’s light, fluffy, and still warm. Dip a piece in your cup of coffee for maximum flavor. Read more

Original sponge cake and a milk tea and you'll still have change for 2 local calls!

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

The cakes are really good, definitely try if in neighborhood . Original or chocolate chips

Daphne Howe

Best sponge cake I've had! And cheap too. Best eaten with hot milk tea & the Spanish dude behind the counter understands and speaks Canto!

Lauren Lee

One of the best sponge cakes in Chinatown. Get more than 1 coconut sponge cake if/when they have it!

Alex Robertson

75 cents for sponge cakes . always a fun place to sit for a while. Delicious Vietnamese coffee

Sonia S

Conflicted. Fluffy cakes are classic but bakeries were exposed to using plasticizers to keep baked goods fresh. This place might be using them; mom went overboard 1 time, burped w/strong plastic smell

Angela Kuzmenka

Unbelievable sponge cakes . Super fresh and light. New location so much bigger and nicer

Tabitha Johnson

Delicious sponge cake . Get one that's freshly made . It's yummier warm.

Michelle Lau

Their vietnamese coffee tastes like the real deal I had in Hanoi. Love it!

Patrick Baskin

Great lunch special for under $6 with a ton of food

Kimmie Ohh

Good cheap eats! I always get their sponge cakes !

Nedy Lutfi

My only comment - is it just me or are they more spongy than before (if that makes any sense)?Still super good though. Will make a trip to this place everytime we're in NY.

Sahil Kathawala

Thai Iced was awesome! A little watered-down, but I like it that way.

Green Tea flavored sponge cakes are softer, sweeter and cost $1.
