We stopped here and grabbed three delicious spongies (green tea, chocolate, and confetti) that we paired with the best Thai milk tea I've had in a long time! The Spongie's were light, fluffy, and delicious! The servers were friendly and efficient. The ambiance is old school/vintage and cozy, perfect for a late fall evening with friends!

Spongies Cafe has been a staple in Chinatown for years, and it's one of my favorite cozy spots to grab a treat. The staff is always so friendly and quick to serve, which makes the experience even better. Heads-up, there's no restroom here, so plan accordingly. I always come here for the sponge cakes and drinks. My go to flavors are pandan coconut, purple yam, and original. The pandan coconut is my favorite, you can really taste the flavor, and it's so good. All the cakes are light, fluffy, and perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. As for drinks, the Chrysanthemum tea is super refreshing on a hot day, and the Vietnamese coffee is strong and hits the spot. The milk tea was a little too sweet for me, but if you like sweeter drinks, it might be perfect for you. If you're in Chinatown and looking for a quick, delicious breakfast, Spongies is a must-try!

I'm happy that I can give them a much better rating after revisiting. I came back because a friend really wanted to try it and wow, their sponges were much better! You can tell their sponges are fresh and made with quality ingredients. Their coconut Pandan is amazing! An excellent flavor balance and sweetness. I think this is my favorite here. The ube is still just okay to me. I wish it had a stronger flavor. The ginger lemon is good! I taste fresh ginger, almost like those delicious ginger candies. My brain does pause with this though because I drink ginger lemon tea often enough, so it's confused that it's tasting this in a non tea form. All their sponges are light, fluffy, fresh, and taste like they're natural and high quality. Inside is a cute cafe vibe to relax in and the service is great. The Thai iced tea is good, albeit on the creamier side. It's good, but I prefer it to be less creamy and stronger tea flavor. I'd be happy to come back!

A nice change to the typical sponge cake (that you can get across the street funny enough). A large variety of flavors and very quick service. Overall the staff is very nice, once I came near closing and they were more than welcoming for us to grad some sponge cakes while they were closing. I love how their flavors change seasonally and every visit has a new set of things to try. They also have some drinks (I loved their iced tea) and a small seating section outside. Sometimes it's too crowded to sit down at the 4-5 mini tables they have outside, but overall the shop is a cute little spot that I love to stop by to quickly grab some sponge cakes, each visit lasting less than a minute. My personal favorite is the pandan sponge cake which normally is always there on the menu. I would wish for the sponge cake wrappers to be labeled or something similar as when I grab 4-5 I have a hard time which cake is what without tearing it open and attempting to guess based on taste. Each sponge cake is delightful and less than 2 dollars, a nice dessert for each meal. There is a minimal 5 dollar charge for credit cards, so bring cash if you only want one or two. Once I did get a pumpkin spice sponge cake and the inside wasn't fully cooked, I found myself eating raw batter and did have to throw it away, but outside of that one negative experience I look forward to trying new flavors here.

Love their sponge cakes, if you like some cakes, you will too Smiling polite and helpful staff, great sponge, and really cute little shop.

Modern twist on a traditional sponge cake. Unique flavors like black sesame, purple yam, pandan and seasonal ones like pumpkin spice. Not too sweet. Perfectly paired with a hot drink, melt in your melt fluffiness. $1.25 per sponge cake or cheaper per cake when purchasing a dozen. Quick and friendly service. To-go style perfect for parties, snack, breakfast They also last about a week in the fridge or longer when frozen. Fun fact: in Cantonese, the direct translation to English is "paper wrapped cake."

Their sponge cakes are definitely the OG stuff. This is also the flavor of how I learned to make sponge cakes online and what I would get in Hong Kong. Their other flavors are also good. I got a pandan coconut it one today and it was amazing. The service was quick and there's a small seating area so that was nice.

Absolutely amazing! For $1.25 you get a nicely sized flavored sponge cake that is fresh and delicious! I tried the banana chocolate chip one and loved that it wasn't too sweet. The flavor itself is not super strong but again for $1.25 it's amazing. The place itself is tiny but there's a bit of seating inside and outside. Service is nice and quick! There was just a few people in line on a Tuesday late afternoon. Just know that for card payments you need to buy at least $5 worth, otherwise it's cash only.

The pandan coconut is my favorite, but we've thoroughly enjoyed all flavors from Spongies! A must stop every time we're in the area. My husband loves the blueberry flavored sponge cake but they don't always have it. We've also really liked the red velvet, banana chocolate chip and the chocolate with the sprinkles on top (my kids' all-time fav!). Small but a nice little spot with a couple tables inside. I always see at least one or two people inside each time I visit and get at least 5 cakes when I don't have cash on hand - $5 minimum credit charge. Service has always been quick and the people behind the counter are nice.
