Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The matcha cake does taste like matcha and the brown sugar is simply delish."
  • "Best cream puff and dessert in NYC! 🧡"
  • "The desserts were not too sweet but were still very flavorful."
  • "Their seasonal Lavender Lemonade was very refreshing."
  • "The cream puffs are must tries, they are amazingly delicate and delicious."
  • "Everything I ordered was amazing."
  • "The milk tea cloud mousse I got today was also good❤️ although tiny little things can be improved but didn’t bother me at all. The milk tea flavor was suuuper strong!"

Cons:

  • "The crust to cream ratio was way too small and the cream was not particularly tasty."
  • "I would not recommend to try croissants ( so oily and fried. No good at all)."
  • "I felt that there was too much mousse relative to cake, which only comprised a very small portion of the volume."
  • "Not bad, but the lavender taste was not really there for me on this visit."
  • "The drink was pretty simple and wasn't too sweet, so it got easily drowned out by all the desserts."
  • "Cream filling was good, but shell was dry and crumbly."
  • "Their desserts are absolutely stunning and adorable but the flavors are hit or miss."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "Regardless, service was fast and we were lucky to find a seat inside the cafe."

  • "Service was fast and friendly."
  • "The service was excellent, all the staff are friendly and take care of your order with dedication."

Cons:

  • "Visited for the second and last time a few weeks ago. 4 staff members were just chatting away behind the counter and barely greeted us."
  • "The wait took a while, but the restaurant disclaimed please be patient due to understaffing."
  • "One of the male staff members making drinks were rude."
  • "However, the little visitors post a big challenge to the cleanliness of the food."
  • "If you come during a busy time, be prepared to wait a bit!"
  • "Really busy and crowded in the weekend. The employees' service can become mediocre with so many people."
  • "It’s the customer service that a little slow… I waited for my small latte more than five minutes."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "I will say my only critique is that the food is a little on the pricey end, but they’re crafted so well that I can look all the way past that."
  • "Price also good!"
  • "Slightly expensive but you do have to take into account all the hard work they have to do to make this work of art!"
  • "A bit pricey, but definitely worth a try."
  • "Can be a little pricey for the experience but good."
  • "The cream puffs are about 5 dollars each and 6 dollars for the more premium flavors (the ones with toppings) which is fair to me."
  • "Good pricing for being located in New York."

Cons:

  • "It wasn't until after the fact that I found out it was $5 for a rinky dink macaron!"
  • "It's just super pricey if you're buying food."
  • "Desserts were cute but okay tasting, I got the milk tea cloud cake ($14), definitely overpriced."
  • "The only thing is the pastry was 13.50. I'm only mentioning it because on the menu it said 7. So it caught me off guard."
  • "Overrated for the cream puff pastry."
  • "Some of their desserts are too pricey and I’m not a fan of the drinks (too sweet)."
  • "Very cute on everything, very pricey on cakes."

Ambiance and Space

Pros:

  • "Space is small and cozy, pretty packed as they have only a few tables."
  • "This place is small but full with people. BUT I’d like to say it was the best puff I’ve ever tried. It’s sweet but not that sugary."
  • "One of the cutest desserts and 🍵 tea spot in midtown."
  • "What a cute little store! Pastries are amazing! Not only delicious, but adorable too!"
  • "Overall amazing taste and a beautiful ambiance!"
  • "The atmosphere is really nice and I love how the llama is the location icon."
  • "The ambience inside was very cute and calm."

Cons:

  • "Overall I would probably not come to this cafe again because while the desserts aesthetics are amazing and make for great pictures, the flavors, textures, and compositional balance do not live up to the aesthetics."
  • "Unfortunately, this place has very limited seats, so you might have to stay in the standing area until others to leave or just eat somewhere else outside the store."
  • "Seatings are limited so this is probably a take out place, especially since there’s so much people."
  • "I’m assuming it’s because of the location but seating is very limited."
  • "The only negative comment about this place is that the location is small and during busy times, you may not find a place to sit."
  • "The space is pretty small and crowded, so don’t expect 100% success in finding seats."
  • "Given how popular it is, it seems difficult to find a seat at peak times."
