Blossom Bakery - Broad Channel

Nice little place! Popped in to grab breakfast- a dozen assorted buns- for my friends while staying nearby, and while I only got to try the sugar donut thus far (tasty! everyone seemed to enjoy everything they had. For 1.10 a bun you can't go wrong, excellent value. The coffee was quite decent as well, even black, which is always nice. The woman working the register was very friendly, in a genuinely kind sort of way (I know that's a rather odd thing to say in a Yelp review but it took the edge off a rocky morning , and helpful as well. The help amounted to a couple of suggestions and tips for telling the buns apart without biting into them, nothing major but very much appreciated. It is cash only, and they don't have an ATM, but there are many scattered nearby, of course, so you'll make do. There was a small line as I pulled around the block on Sunday morning but it moved quickly and I waited almost no time at all. I'm leaving Brooklyn tonight but I would definitely go here again if I had the chance!

A good place to grab breakfast on the way to the 9th avenue train station. The inside is very small and they have a small display of breads. If you want the steamed bread you have to ask for them as theyre inside a steaming oven to be kept warm.

This is the ONLY bakery I would go to in the morning en route to work.

Steamed buns here are excellent. Pork and veggie, roast pork, Chinese sausage, or get the Dai Bao (Big Bun) that has all that plus egg. They make the dough in the back, and the owners are friendly.

Fantastic buns! They had run out of pork buns, but the staff suggested I try the big buns instead. I ordered two, and they were perfectly steamed and tasted amazing. I will definitely return to sample some more varieties.
