The best rugelach around. This was outstanding. They have great flavors to pick from. Could have eaten a dozen. Really great!!!

The cutest bakery in the city. The apricot rugelach is flaky and the perfect level of sweet. Grab a couple to take home because you’ll want more the next day.

Was super super excited to walk in to lees baked goods today. After seeing it on YouTube and the excitement went from 100-0 because of the cashier that was there today . She didn’t even say hello to me and my family she basically made me feel like she didn’t even want to speak to us .

This is a must visit in harlem. Delicious rugelach that is warm and gooey when you get it. I love the apricot flavoring personally. The cookies are a crispy variety, like a tate's bakery and excellent flavor. I reccomend the fudge pecan cookie. This place is most famous for the rugelach but all the treats are amazing if you want to try an authentic black and white cookie that is very fresh. This is not a Cafe, with coffee and bathroom, it is just a bakery with a little store front to buy baked good. No bathroom, minimal sitting, but ideal for grabbing a treat and walking around.

Lee Lee's is one of those rare NYC mom and pop businesses which stays on your mind long after you leave the city. It's great to see it is still a thriving operation which has weathered storms of all kinds. I really miss being able to take a 10 minute or so walk and get apricot and raspberry rugelach. This is definitely the best rugelach I've ever tasted. Service is great, and the shop itself is memorable. This is not only a great Harlem landmark and business, but also one of the best small businesses in New York City.

Must stop in Harlem know for New York’s best Rugelach. The apple pie is Alison amazing.
OMG so freaking good! Such a nice little gem in the Harlem. We visited on the last day of our trip, and we definitely regret not buying a bunch more Rugelachs than we did!

Deliciousness and homemade! I walked here from the Harlem Metro North Station and it was more than with it. Especially that fabulous sweet potato pie! I am looking forward to returning soon but it will have to wait a while for me to work off what I put on from all this deliciousness!

This bakery smells like home and is decorated very cute. Since the moment I got to Harlem I have been eyeing Lee Lee's Baked Goods and tonight, I finally got to try! I passed by on the way home and noticed their open sign so I ran in. I was greeted with warmth and smells of baked goods that brought happy memories back into my mind. The owner, Mr. Lee, came out to greet us and helped us with our transaction. Me. Lee is an extremely sweet man and he offered us samples of a warm apple cinnamon rugelach which was super delicious. (And when I say he was sweet I MEAN it! Now that I am writing this review, I am noticing that the bakery actually closed way before we got there. So not only did he bless me with great treats, he did not kick me out even though it was time for him to go home.) Overall, I enjoyed my conversation with Mr. Lee as much as I enjoyed the baked goods. I wanted to buy everything in the bakery! I ended up leaving with red velvet cake, chocolate almond rugelaches, walnut chocolate cookies, and a raspberry shortbread cookie. Since my sublet is only 1 minute away, the moment I got home I tried every single thing I bought. My verdict is that this bakery is a MUST GO TO! The baked goods quite literally have changed my life. I wish I could have Lee Lee's around the corner from me forever! I am hoping to make another trip before I head back to CA, but, good news is that they ship! If you are traveling to New York or are from New York or even just passing through, I would 1000000% plan a trip to Harlem to visit Lee Lee's! (P.S: Mr. Lee: I love your business card. The post card is a BRILLIANT concept.)

Adorable bakery with delicious sweets! I am not a fan of rugelach but I just LOVE his chocolate ones. Everyone that I bring some to say that they are the best they've ever tasted. Love his sweet potato pie too!
