Open for over a century, Eastern Bakery is Chinatown’s oldest Chinese bakery. It's also the only place in the city—outside of Yasukochi’s Sweet Stop—where you should get coffee crunch cake, a yellow sponge cake layered with mocha whipped cream, and studded with toffee to give it that titular crunch. Even better, perhaps, are the mooncakes. Eastern Bakery sells the Mid-Autumn Festival pastries year-round. And while many other bakeries and shops import their mooncakes, Eastern Bakery goes through the painstaking process of grinding the lotus seeds to make the trademark velvety, dense filling. The other items in the display case are solid, like the sesame balls and char siu bao, but if you’re looking for egg tarts, you’re better off going to Golden Gate Bakery down the street, which was opened by the same owner. Note that this spot is takeout- and cash-only, though you can preorder cakes and mooncakes via email and pay using Zelle.
