    25 pack cupcakes
    Jake Z.

    My gf and I had the 25 variety cupcake set from Baked by Melissa. We really like the different flavors and the moistness of the cupcakes. The bite sized chunks makes it easy to eat without the guilt of consuming a single full sized cupcake. My only issue is that I wished there was more variety in taste because at some point all of the cupcakes started to taste the exact same. Similarly, it would be great if the 25 pack came with more different types - I'm obviously not asking for 25 unique ones but maybe 10-12 would be better than just 7 (which is what I counted). Overall, I probably won't be trying this place again but I do recommend it to others as it is definitely worth trying out!

    The location we went to in SoHo was really a small store front! And it is "cashless"- you can only use your credit card. I have mixed feelings about that- but I get kit- for safety sake and processing- it's way easier not to have cash. My daughter loves these little cupcakes so I let her buy them. Also at this kiosk you can't buy one- you either have to get 3 or 6 etc. I'm sure they want to make it worth their while to have the person use credit cards! It's definitely a cute thing - try it!

    Pre-packaged All-star 6-pack

    This location is a tiny stand/counter that customers walk up to for purchases to-go. There is no indoor space for customers. Due to the set up at this store, they only sell pre-packaged sets of cupcakes. You can't choose your own mix of cupcakes. I haven't had Baked by Melissa in a long time & got an all-stars pack. Cupcakes are very bright colors (lots of food coloring) and flavors were just ok on most of them. Because they are pre-packed, they were a little gummy/sticky from the moisture trapped in the plastic container so I didn't love the texture.

    Cute! But kinda pricey for how big they are

    This place was recommended by a friend. We stopped by there on the way to dinner. It was a cute little shop. There's no where to go inside, pretty much just a window to walk up to and order, like a food stand or food truck. There was no line when we went, which was convenient because you do order on the sidewalk and it would've sucked to be in people's way. We split a box of 6. I got red velvet and matcha. They were super cute in a little packaging, like you bought them like that. 3 stars because the cakes are really small. I guess that's the novelty of it, but I feel like you can't really savor something that is smaller than an Oreo. You pop one in your mouth, say it's good, but don't get a second taste. In addition to being itty bitty, they come out to $1 each, which isn't the best deal for something that small. I think they were really cute, fun and unique treat, but probably a one time thing.

    Cutest little stand matched with tiny bite sized cupcakes. They look like mini muffin tops with different flavors. The flavors though aren't just flavors though, they have little decorations and flavored frosting, filling. It's a bite sized party in your mouth! I only had 2 so far but I think I should try a new one each time I'm in Soho!

    Love these mini cupcakes! They were very easy to eat! However, they did tend to be too sweet.

    Sugar Cookie & Tye-Dye
    Michelle L.

    I had the Baked By Melissa cupcakes a few years ago when I visited New York so when I saw this tiny window store in Soho I thought it looked like a nice treat. I ordered a Sugar Cookie cupcake and a Tye Dye cupcake. It was $2. I knew these were tiny but I think they've gotten tinier. It's basically $1 a bite here. I use the term bite loosely because I think some people would consider these cupcakes less than 1 bite. Two of them is less of a treat and more of a tease. Yes, they are cute and taste good but they are really tiny.

    This is the new location across the street from the old Baked by Melissa. I thought they were closed, scared me! Baked by Melissa offers the world smallest cup cakes in bite sizes and apparently is one major attractions in NYC. They have so many different flavors and they are so delicate and cute. Now they also offer gluten free options and macarons. Baked by Melissa's cupcakes are pretty but also super rich and delicious. They are not cheap, $1 per cupcake, comes in 1/3/6/12/25. It's $20 for 25 cupcakes. As they're so small, I guess eating one won't ruin anyone's diet. Therefore, I recommend. I also like this location in SoHo because I wasn't hard to find a parking. I was there around 8 on a weekday and found a parking around the corner right away.

    The new muffin collection
    Julie M.

    This place really fell off. It was a cool concept when it came out and now they are trying to do to much and charging too much for it. The cupcakes are good but every bite is $1 which is just got worth it. These cupcakes really aren't that special. Now they're doing muffins. I thought it was a cool idea and I went to get a sampler box which they took out of the freezer so I couldn't even eat them right away. When they finally defrosted I tried all of them and a few were dry but the others were good. Still nothing special for the money they are charging. Wouldn't get them again.

    Mini cupcakes! The left is a graham cupcake, the middle was a special cannoli cupcake, and the right was chocolate velvet! Yum

I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety!

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
