Their matcha basque cheesecake is absolutely amazing, probably the best I've had to date. Not too sweet, creamy, smooth interior, caramelized exterior.Good service, nice atmosphere, no eat-in options.At almost $30 USD per SLICE... It's unfathomably pricey, but so, very delicious.

Food is way overpriced, and doesn’t taste very good (below average in my opinion). Please don’t waste your money and buy dessert from somewhere else.

Expensive basque molten cake (5/5), but it was so so good. It was filled with like a molten mousse filling that was super moist and flavorful. Sometimes these cheesecakes tend to be dry but this was was silky smooth, super rich, and had great flavor. This is my fav basque cheesecake in the city. But the price

Not worth the price. The drink portions was outrageously overpriced for such a small portion. The black sesame latte left a bitter taste in my mouth and did not taste like sesame at all. The basque matcha lava cheesecake were shockingly small, barely enough to satisfy a craving, let alone justify the unreasonable price. It felt like I was being robbed in broad daylight. The workers also failed to provide me basic utensils. There are plenty of other cafes in New York City where you can enjoy patisseries. Save you money and your appetite.

The spring limited edition desserts include:? Cing Tuan (4pc)：The mochi exterior is soft, sticky, and delicate, with a clever combination of salty egg yolk and pork floss filling, blending sweet, salty, and savory flavors .? Coconut Milk Panna Cotta Roll：Soft cake wrapped around cream and a chunky coconut milk pudding – tender, smooth, delicate, and not too sweet.The signature dessert‼️? Black Sesame Lava Cream Crepes Roll：Biting into it feels like biting into a cloud – it's just so, so soft and delicate‼️ You'll fall in love with it instantly, especially with the surprise of a sesame lava filling – no wonder it's so popular online.? Taro and Mochi Parfait：The dessert of choice for taro lovers‼️A thick layer of taro paste paired with cream and the infinitely stretchy, soft, and sticky mochi.I truly regret not coming to try it earlier～must-try‼️Osmanthus Oolong Basque Lava Cake?:The enticing aroma of osmanthus combined with the unique flavor of oolong tea is special – with a caramel outside and a moist, dense, silky inside.Jasmine Latte?:Freshly made coffee sprayed with a bit of jasmine perfume – just one sniff is utterly intoxicating. For me～who chooses jasmine flavored everything in life, having a Jasmine Latte is truly satisfying.Black Sesame Latte?:It combines traditional Chinese flavors with modern Western tastes, with the richness of coffee and the aroma of black sesame – drinking a hot one is both warming and comforting.

I don’t understand why people gave bad reviews just because it’s too expensive for them, I guess that’s just the case for all expensive places especially restaurants. How much do you pay for high quality cream cheese or matcha powder these days from the supermarket? Staff are very friendly even when I showed up outside of their business hours, they brought me in and packed what’s available for me when they heard I made a trip just to come here. I do recommend this place if you are aiming to get top level cakes.

Love it! This place is very Asian, hope I don't offend anyone if I said it's Taiwan fusion, because it's the first thought that pops to my mind when I took a bite of the Qing Tuan (chewy rice cake 粿 texture with salted egg yolk and meat floss), it's a taste that most of the Taiwanese will appreciate. Then I had the Taro vitellus custard profiterole, it's a fancy name for cream puff (sorry), the taro is not too sweet, the salted egg yolk cream, sweet and savory, perfect balance. Why the seaweed? I don't know, for the look?! I also bought the Black Sesame lava cream crepes roll. The drink is very small, probably 8oz for hot tea and 12oz for cold coffee. I had orange americano, it's a full cup of orange juice with coffee, and a candy orange slice on top (or just a dried slice orange??) the coffee is good by itself, but if you stir it up, the citrusy of the juice and the bitterness of the coffee is ideal for a warm afternoon walk in the city. It's a bit pricy, but unlike the other traditional pastries (croissant) or Asian roasted pork bun, try this place instead.

friendly grab and go asian pastry place. they have many cute deserts that are very innovated. great drinks option too. there's no place to sit in the store you can only just grab and go.the black sesame crepe is great. not too sweet but a bit bitter. the chestnut mont blanc didnt meet my expectation, it's very cake like taste but not much chestnut flavor.

Yelp check in got me a jasmin milk jelly , which i think it's light and really delicious.

The store is very small and can only accommodate 4 customers. The boozy tiramisu didn't taste the taste of wine at all, and the portion was very small and not worth the price. The black sesame roll is very sweet and doesn't taste good. This store spends too much energy on promotion rather than making desserts.

The quality control is really disgusting bro... I swear I am a durian lover. The sponge cake was like a rag soaked in vomit in the mud. The texture of the durian pulp, soymilk powder and cream mixed together left a sand-like feeling in my mouth, and the taste was so disgusting that I just finished one bite. If I think about it again, I will have uncontrollable nausea and vomiting... I spent 20 dollars to eat one bite and throw it away. If I eat more, I will definitely get food poisoning???
Cute bakery with very intriguing and delicious items. Not much room to sit so it's more of a grab and go, but you might get lucky for a seat like we did. Staff is incredibly nice. We got the black sesame crepes with lava cream - wow! Texture is soft and pillowy, and the sweetness level was PERFECTION. AKA, not too sweet hehe :) A bit pricey but would recommend visiting at least once!
