This is a very small dessert and drink spot with no seating except a few chairs outside. It's definitely more of a grab and go vibe. I tried a few of their matcha drinks and this time I just got a standard Iced Matcha Latte. They don't whisk the matcha. They use a hand blender/frother, which isn't as authentic but it still was alright. There weren't clumps of powder so it still did the job. It wasn't the best matcha I've had, but it's decent enough.
Ando features some of the tastiest and prettiest desserts I've ever witnessed, but it is very expensive. My best friend sent me a delivery order from here with a Basque Cheesecake Sampler ($36) and Matcha Tiramisu ($15), which was such a sweet surprise. Not only was it packaged well, it was presented so beautifully. The floral decors are such a nice touch. I really liked the cheesecake sampler since it gave you a small slice of 4 flavors for those who like variety like me. It came with an original, matcha, oolong, and yuzu. The flavors are prominent with the creamy and dense texture of the basque cheesecake, which did not disappoint. But the real star here was the matcha tiramisu in my opinion. I ended up finishing this entire thing within minutes because I just couldn't stop. It's light and airy with some nice crunchy toppings. It's a very nice spot to get a gift because of how pretty and tasty it is. I just find it too pricey otherwise.
Finally made it out to Ando Patisserie - took me a while because I had heard that it's a little pricy for what they give you and I kind of have to agree. I like that it's a french-chinese fusion and their flavor combinations are interesting and familiar to me, a Chinese-American, but I'm not sure i'm running back to spend the same amount of $$ for what we got. I got an osmanthus flavored basque cheesecake with cream on top which is cool and I do like osmanthus, the flavor of which it certainly honored, and the texture smooth. I think the palate of the desserts certainly leans towards the Chinese palate, including the texture palate despite utilizing some French techniques. I'm more 50-50 on my preference. The staff were helpful and they do have a drink menu too. It's a smallll space inside with maybe one or two tables.
A small Chinese French fusion bakery. Their selection is rather small and a bit expensive, but they do a good job combining simple dim sum classics with modern Western baking. There's not really anywhere to sit inside, so it's better as a grab-and-go dessert spot. Ordered the black sesame crepe cake, which was packaged well. It was light, fluffy and moist, not too sweet. Probably wouldn't return due to prices but it's worth a try.
This is a super small coffee shop with super limited seating options to enjoy your drinks and pastries. It is a more grab and go place. I was very interested in trying the orange espresso since it has been all over social media. It's pretty much orange juice with espresso and an orange garnish. It tasted interesting but I did not enjoy it much. When I took my first sip, I asked the barista is there pineapple in here as it tasted like it. She said deff no. I may come back here if I find myself in the area again to try just a regular latte or cappuccino. It was also a bit slow and there was no one else here. She was just multi tasking while making my drink.
We stepped in here a few weeks ago because I caught a glimpse of the black sesame crepe roll online and just HAD to have it. I have developed a huge liking for asian inspired flavors like black sesame and pandan over the years and really wanted to experience this creation. The shop is really small and has some sitting room but it's probably best to take your order to go as the space can get pretty cramped. Service was quick and efficient. The crepe roll comes with a little packet of crunchy accoutrements that you sprinkle over the top. I appreciated the added textural element of these, as the crepe roll itself is quite soft and pillowy in contrast. The dusting on top tastes predominantly of brown sugar. I like that the crepe roll was filled generously with cream, and getting to the gooey black sesame "lava" was exciting, but I did wish for more black sesame element. It was a bit heavy on the whipped cream. Also I know Asian desserts are notorious for not being too sweet which is why I love them, but this creation could use a little bit more sugar. Not a lot, just a little bit more. My friend's strawberry cloud cake was soft and spongey and generous with the filling but kind of one dimensional in taste and also not sweet enough. I also found this place excessively overpriced for what they're offering. We paid $46 for two desserts and a latte which I think is insane. Unfortunately I think the hype is not really worth the quality of the desserts here, and that they should work to refine their products more before charging such astronomical prices.
Stumbled upon Ando and ordered their sesame crepe and chestnut cake. The chestnut cake was a bit sweeter for my liking but my boyfriend loved it. We both loved the sesame crepe. It wasn't too sweet and even had sesame cream in the center. Soo good when topped with the peanut powder as well. Highly recommend their sesame crepe!
On our dessert crawl through the East Village, this became our final stop! At first we saw an extremely long line, but turns out everyone was there for the specialty bread and we can order in a separate line for other items. The staff recommended a few items and they were all hits! The crowd favorite was definitely the yuzu basque cheesecake, which went eaten in a snap! Will definitely be back to try more!
AMBIANCE: 7.5/10 -cute interior w a mew by the window -very limited seating SERVICE: 10/10 -cashier was very nice and accommodating, no complaints FOOD -osmanthus oolong basque cheesecake, 8/10: good texture overall with a creamier center! not mind-blowingly good but solid -boba egg tart, 8.75/10: had boba on top and cream had tangible tea flavor! consistency of tart was good, boba was pretty good and stayed soft for a long time -jasmine panna cotta: didn't try but friend liked it :)
We went yesterday evening because there weren't a lot of dessert options still open after 8PM. I wasn't expecting much to be leftover as it was late, and the case/menu looked maybe half empty. The girl who helped us was nice, but she said they still had a decent amount of desserts available. Ironically, every dessert we and the couple after us asked about were out. I had wanted to try some of their oolong osmanthus basque lava cheesecake, but they only had one slice of the matcha cheesecake left so I decided to give it a chance. The worker pulled out the box from under the counter after I paid. For $16 + tax, it was a very small slice. It's a tiny space with few small tables/stools inside and outside, so we sat at a wobbly table in the corner. As something called a matcha basque lava cheesecake, the only things it delivered based on the name were matcha and cheese. From the first bite to the last, it was overwhelmingly dry and dense. Even the middle portion that should be more undercooked and lava-like was the same dry texture, and the cream on top did not help much at all. It felt like eating a block of dry cream cheese, and the only flavor that came through was the earthy taste of culinary-grade matcha. There was no caramelized flavor from the crust like a normal basque cheesecake, which could have been due to the overpowering matcha and cheese masking it. I am thankful afterwards that the piece was small because it was so dense and heavy. Do yourselves a favor and skip their expensive cheesecakes (if you can even call it that) because whatever I paid for was not worth it.
Quick dessert stop at Ando. I got the popular option - Basque oolong cheesecake. It came in a cute box..the presentation was minimal but cool. The girl at the counter took it out from somewhere below the register and surprised me with it ready to go. I went to the park to enjoy it. It was really good! A little dry as Basque cheesecake tends to be so definitely need to enjoy with a hot drink. The cream on top is light and fluffy. I'd definitely want to try more from Ando! Yum
Delicious pastry shop with Asian inspired flavors. Yuzu lemon cheesecake didn't feel too heavy and was delicious Oolong pana cotta was amazing and the tea flavoring was apparent. I really liked it
Pretty good black sesame latte.. came for the Buy1get1free.. not too sweet which is perfect

This is closer to 3.5 stars than 4 stars, honestly. I was very excited to try the basque cheesecakes from here, but I didn't expect the cheesecakes and other menu items to be soo expensive. I get that rent in the city is not cheap, but this shop doesn't offer anything else besides the food. There's only 2 seats by the window, and even then, it's very cramped seating, so it's not really like you could sit down to enjoy the food/ambiance. I think I would be more ok with the priciness if it tasted spectacular or the portions were big, but the cheesecake was neither. I got the $29 cheesecake platter so I could try 4 flavors at once. Having just tried Lamoone not too long ago, which also offers basque cheesecakes with Asian flavors and SAMPLES, I think Ando is just ok when it comes to the cheesecakes. Yuzu and original were the superior flavors while matcha and oolong were alright. I'm not tempted to go back again for them like I am for Lamoone, though. The slices of cheesecake that were included in the platter were half the size of a regular slice of cheesecake from say, The Cheesecake Factory, so $29/4=$7.25 for a tiny slice is kind of absurd. I got to try their jasmine pana cotta, and that was unexpectedly really good. The jasmine flavor really came through and the texture of the pana cotta was perfect. There was only one person working in the front and at least one person in the back when I went with my friend, who also ordered the same thing as me and a drink. And only one other customer bought something from here while we were here. Yet, it took about 15 minutes for our desserts to be ready. read more

This place is very tiny. Around 4-5 spots of seating. Was late and we came to try some dessert but the coffee aroma smelled really good. Unsure how big the kitchen is in the back, but we got the earl gray egg tarts. Definitely a cute place to stop by and pick up read more
Super cute small bakery with limited seating outside. Perfect place for a small dessert and quick coffee to take with you to the park. Prices are on the tas pricier end but would go again. Flavor profiles are also fantastic. read more
Ando Patisserie sells Asian inspired assortment of basque cheesecakes and roll cakes with a couple other dessert options. The store itself is really just a counter with 2 seats at the window and 3 small metal tables along the sidewalk; if you've got more than 2 people and the weather is less than stellar, I'd definitely grab my items to go. Overall, I'd say the flavors here are creative, but the prices are steep for the serving size and it didn't blow my mind. Osmanthus Oolong Basque Cheesecake (3.75/5): The flavor of the oolong really comes through without being bitter, but the texture is only smooth in the very center. The edges felt like they were cooked a bit too quickly turning a bit dry and crumbly. Jasmine Panna Cotta (4/5): They hand these out for free for reviews and for a free dessert, it's surprisingly solid. Texture is luscious and creamy, plus the flavor of the jasmine is super fragrant. read more

I was looking for a good pastry/dessert place in East Village and came across Ando. The place was very tiny with about 3 chairs inside, so don't expect to sit here and dine in. We got the earl grey custard tart and the oolong basque lava cake. The basque lava cake was delicious, but the price was absolutely atrocious at $15. The earl grey custard tart was nothing too special and the crust was bland and a bit dry, but the custard part was fine. Not sure if it's coming back considering the ridiculous price point, but it's worth checking out once. The service was also questionable because the girl at the counter didn't acknowledge us when we came in, and she also looked like she did not want to be there. read more
Stumbled upon this quaint little cafe and it was great and surprised us! We got the Jasmine coffee latte and it was a great blend of Jasmine and coffee. We also got the special yuzu lemon basque cake which we really liked, it wasn't too sweet nor too tangy and perfect for the summer. Unfortunately it's a really small place with only 2 seats inside and some outdoor seating so we wish there was more seating but otherwise will be back to try their other desserts!! read more

Really cute little place with Asian inspired bakery items and drinks! It's more of a grab and go place with some seating outside on nice days. My friend and I split an order of the Earl Grey Tarts, which was honestly really delicious. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did, but I thought the flavors in it were really layered, and the different textures of the custard with the flaky crust and the chewy boba worked so well together. Plus, the earl grey flavor really shines. I do think $13 for two tarts is a bit steep, or feels steep, but when you get it the tart is similar to a thick slice of cake and was definitely larger and more filling than I thought it would be. Super interested in maybe trying the corn latte next time! read more
I only got one pastry from them as a last minute birthday treat, but the cake that was packaged wasn't the one I asked for despite it being good. The place itself is a small minimalist storefront with a variety of Asian pastries and desserts. The service is nice but careless. I ordered the pineapple pandan cake but was given the strawberry cake. While the strawberry cake was nice, fluffy and not too sweet, I'm not a fan of buying a pastry for $15 when I can make it at home. Pandan, on the other hand, is harder to source making the high price tag slightly justified. If I come back again, I'll probably ask for a more complex dessert and see if my opinion changes. And check to make sure I get the right pastry. read more

I really wanted to try the parfait and other desserts, but they weren't ready, so I picked the Jasmine Guava Cake Roll ($13 plus tax and credit card surcharge). Slices of white peach (crisp and slightly sweet) sat on top of the pink/purple rolled cake filled with whipped cream and plump green grape. I liked the peach so much that I decided to buy a fresh one from the grocery store next time I saw them. Overall, it was not too sweet and similar to a sponge cake. The shop is pretty small and had the cake slices sitting behind a small glass front display case. They do have a credit card surcharge. read more

This place is very quaint and has a rich and delicious basque cheesecake. The oolong flavor definitely comes through. It is pricey for what it's worth but I will say that it's much heavier than I expected for a small piece. The jasmine panna cotta is light and has an interesting aftertaste. read more
Great experience so far with the customer service. The associate was very attentive and patient while I made my selections. He gave me recommendations and the experience of the store overall was superb. Will update once I get a chance to try my goodies! read more
Oy came here for my birthday with a group of six friends before realizing this was a take-out only spot! It's a tiny storefront with maaaybe 4 seats total and best for to-go orders. The staff is nice and friendly, but the prices on their desserts were crazy. One small slice of basque cheesecake was $16! We inquired if a full cake would be better value and were told it's effectively the same as paying for individual slices... I'll give them credit for having creative flavors. I tried the osmanthus oolong cheesecake which was good but nothing crazy special, particularly for the price. Food is packaged well. read more
Located in East Village, this Asian fusion cafe has lots of unique pastries and a calm ambiance. Came here on a summer afternoon, and there were a few tables inside available for seating. We ordered the Milk Seal Pudding, which was next to other unique animal-themed pastries. The service was prompt since the pastry was in the display case. read more
Small shop but lots of choices!! Limited seating inside but there are some outside as well. Black Sesame anything here is amazing!! The black sesame latte hot was better than cold. You taste the real sesame flavor while the cold seems to be lost. The basque lava cake was more like a cheesecake. There was no flow of cream but it was smooth texture with each bite. The oolong flavor was coming out strong in flavor, you taste the tea and not just cream. Very good! Would come back to try the other flavors. Sesame lava cream crepe roll was cold, i thought it would warm. It's a sticky texture like mochi but not chewy. There's creme in between each layer. This is just okay. read more

It's a cute and small pantry shop. I tried their Chinese new year limited red velvet cake for the first time and it was really yummy! The jasmine pudding is also really good and has a strong tea flavor. Very refreshing and highly recommended! read more
Cute little cafe with specialty pastries, the decorations are really cute and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Love that they have a big variety of menu items. There's also a few seats inside if you want to sit down and enjoy in there. Definitely a cute place to visit and check out for specialty Asian desserts. Highly recommend! read more
My experience was overall very good. I had high expectations coming here since it's been on my list for a while now. Boozy tiramisu - soooooo good. you can actually taste and feel the alcohol in it, while also tasting the tiramisu part of it. it was DELICIOUS. But I think there was some plastic in my piece; maybe like a plastic wrap? I did not say anything about it though. Otherwise, it was very good. probably my favorite of all we tried. Black sesame lava cream roll - very very sesame-y, not too sweet, and super melt-in-your-mouth soft. I was pleasantly surprised. really enjoyed this one! probably my 2nd fav. Earl grey custard tarts - could definitely tell the earl grey was in there. it was good but too small. I wish they would make it attest double the size. you do get 2 tarts per order but I felt like it was more of the pastry than the earl grey custard itself. Pistachio raspberry roll - very good, not too sweet at all, and creamy. I honestly couldn't taste the pistachio in it. I liked this one but it was probably my least fav just because it was nothing that special that I was hoping for. delicious but the others just wow'd me better. Other than everything being good, it was also very expensive (we paid about $65 for 4 deserts) and the staff wasn't that nice. We were a group of 6 people sharing 4 desserts so we asked for a few more forks and the staff was not trying to give us more forks... So they're a bit stingy on their utensils I guess. But despite this, it's probably my new fav dessert spot in nyc. I will definitely come here when I am craving dessert and want to treat myself. read more
What a nice spot! Unique, cute desserts and happy to support a small business. We tried the basque cheesecakes and the mont blanc chestnut cake. Everything was so nicely presented, and delicious (and not overly sweet)! I would suggest taking to go, as there is not much seating. They also have special flavors, so be sure to ask at the register! read more

Excellent service from Henry--he gave this old gal a lil' sugar in her late-night latte. Soothing, relaxing music played while I waited for the order. Life is good. Hopefully, it won't cause limb loss. Thanks again, Ando, for the tasty treats. Xoxo, Mo D. read more
