    Jasmine Matchapudding tiramisu
    Raven Q.

    So the tiramisu spot is Cafe 2BY2, and I believe they do serve food, but honestly, we didn't go for food. We went there for one reason and one reason only: tiramisu. My mom knows I love tiramisu, and she had been wanting to take me because they have so many different flavors. Of course they have the original, but they also have pandan coconut, passion fruit, matcha, lychee, and a bunch of other flavors. And yes, I did post a picture of that display case because it is so cute and looks amazing. The whole spot is really cute and quaint. Definitely one of those places where you can sit in, chill, do some work, and just enjoy yourself. I love anything cutesy, honestly, so I was already sold. For drinks, my mom got the Dalgona coffee, and I got the pink guava latte. Both were really good. The coffee was made really well -- smooth, balanced, and just really enjoyable. Now for the star of the show: the tiramisu. Baby... that tiramisu is a HIT. I got the jasmine matcha pudding tiramisu, and my mom got the pandan coconut. Mine was so light and fluffy. You could taste both the jasmine and the matcha, but neither flavor was overpowering. Sometimes matcha desserts can feel too earthy or heavy, but this was perfectly balanced. It gave exactly what it needed to give. My mom's pandan coconut was really good too. You could definitely taste the coconut, and it was just really smooth and well done. One thing I thought was super cool is they actually have this little menu book that breaks down each layer of the tiramisu and explains what's in it. I meant to take a picture of it because I thought that was such a thoughtful touch. And what I loved most was how light everything felt. You know how sometimes you eat dessert and immediately feel heavy and lowkey guilty after? None of that here. It was light, airy, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling like too much. You could actually savor it and enjoy all the different flavors without it being overwhelming. They also have a full coffee and tea menu, so there are definitely more drinks I want to go back and try. And yes -- they take cash, which y'all already know I appreciate because cash is becoming rare these days. The service was really great too. The young lady working there was super sweet and really helpful with explaining everything and helping us choose. Overall, I loved it. I'm a tiramisu girl through and through, and they absolutely got my vote. We're definitely going back, and next time I'm probably grabbing extra tiramisu to go because it was that good.

    Pandan Coconut
    Christy C H.

    I can't wait to come back and try more flavors! We ordered the Pandan Coconut and the Sea Salt Caramel Tiramisu. They were both really good. The flavors were rich and creamy but not overly heavy. I was really tempted to get the sweet and savory Tiramisu with taro and pork floss, but I had to save it for next time because we were having dinner afterward. The service was pretty quick and we also got two mango pomelo drinks. My friends really enjoyed it but my husband and I would have preferred it to be a little sweeter. The atmosphere was also very comfortable. If you're meeting up and catching up with friends, it's a great spot to hang out and enjoy some treats. Even though the space doesn't seem that big, it still felt comfortable. There was enough privacy that you didn't feel like people would overhear your conversation.

    Taro Mochi tiramisu
    Ange C.

    We got here about an hour before closing so a lot of flavors were sold out, but it's ok because I grabbed the taro mochi to go. I wasn't sure what to expect and was curious how the mochi would hold up. I ate it the following day and I absolutely loved the contrast in texture with the lady fingers and the mochi. So great. I wanted more mochi honestly. This piece did not last long

    earl grey chestnut tiramisu
    Ashlee L.

    This was a nice wfh cafe in East Village! They have tables and wifi and it was really clean inside. I think they specialize in tiramisu because they had sooo many flavors of it and some were pretty unique too. I tried a slice of their earl grey chestnut, and it was really yummy! The earl grey flavor was strong, but I couldn't really taste the chestnut that well. Not complaining though because the tea flavored tiramisu was amazing. Slice is HUGEE, perfect for sharing. Just a little bit too sweet for me personally.

    Seating area

    You're able to tell it's a cute cafe from the outside. From the cute characters on the windows, to the curated tables and chairs and wall decor. It was hard to pick one tiramisu for my first time! I was between the matcha and Pandan Coconut tiramisu. I'm not a coffee fan and this is a great way to try different alternatives to the classic version. The slices were nice clean cuts and the boxes they're placed in are very cute. Since I got two slices they placed mine in a box that fits two, but even the solo boxes are cute. It's dressed up in a way that the treat would make a nice gift. The strawberry matcha had real strawberry bits in it, and the size was great for the price. There's a self order kiosk, but service was smooth and quick considering it's one person.

    Tiramisu flavor selection

    This cafe was a pretty nice spot to sit and chat while enjoying some tiramisu cakes with Asian flavors. Ordering was done by the giant tablet by their register or you can find a table and order via QR code. They even bring the dishes straight to your table which is pretty nice. The menu consists mostly of tiramisu cakes and other desserts but they also serve savory dishes like pasta and snacks (french fries, Japanese street food). We tried only 2 cakes because they were quite pricey at $15 per slice. The taro tiramisu. The mango tiramisu was my favorite because of how well the mango flavor paired with the sweet cream and the lady finger layers. The mango on top wasn't too sweet since it's not mango season right now. The taro tiramisu had the taro flavor concentrated in the bottom mochi layer so that the flavor wouldn't be too overwhelming. One piece is enough to share since it's quite a big piece but if you've got a sweet tooth, one piece is the perfect portion.

    A cute little tiramisu-themed cafe in the East Village area! Although execution didn't quite live up expectations/the hype, I still enjoyed their desserts. I wish there was a multi-flavor flight option because I was struggling to decide between multiple flavors but ultimately ended up picking 3. My favorite was the pork floss one because I love a sweet-savory combo. I was surprised at how generous they were with the pork floss and how well it complemented the cream. Definitely reminded me of the Ando dessert but without the mochi component. The matcha one was a little disappointing because the matcha flavors weren't prominent at all, and if anything localized to the top where the powder was. Wish the cake component was more moist. The chestnut earl grey was better than I thought! The earl grey tea flavors weren't too prominent but present and contrasted with the nutty and sweet chestnut flavors. I wish the tea to chestnut ratio was higher. The store has a good amount of seating in the back but take-out is also very convenient. Staff members were a little awkward but we got our tiramisus packed in no time.

    Love this concept. Was in the city for a few days, and this was on my list of places to go. Sadly, I was running behind and didn't have time to sit in the restaurant and enjoy, so got two pieces to go. The Mango Passionfruit and Peach Lychee. Both were amazing and the Lychee was my favorite. I will say, these travel OK on a plane...but would probably be best at the location or eaten shortly after. Both were light and flavorful and I'm sad I live soooo far that I can't go back to try other flavors. The restaurant was quaint with several seating areas and the display case nicely showed all the options. If you're looking for a unique delicious dessert, try this place!

    Mango passion fruit and peach lychee
    Maris C.

    We ordered takeout and got the mango passion fruit and peach lychee tiramisu. Both flavors were lacking a bit as I couldn't taste the distinct flavor of the passion fruit or peach. But there were real mango and lychee pieces which I liked. The tiramisu was creamy, soft and moist. Overall I enjoyed it but don't think it's worth $15 a piece. A great way to treat yourself which is what I did to celebrate the end of school forever. The ambience and decor of the cafe was cute and a nice place for a girls outing. When you walk in you can order from the kiosk at the front and can see the display of all the varieties. It was hard to choose as I would have been interested in trying all of the fruity and Asian flavors.

    MANGO STICKY RICE TIRAMISU - $13.95
    Tu-Anh N.

    WHEN: Sun @4:30pm Met up with friends and wanted some sweets since we all had just had lunch. Although this place appeared busy, we lucked out with 2 tables that seated 2, pushing it next to each other. With the QR code provided at the tables, you place your orders with your phone, and within 10 minutes, they bring out your order! Here's what I had: PEACH LYCHEE TIRAMISU - $13.95 I think they ran out of peach because all I saw was lychee, which was still all pretty good! Though I woul not call this tiramisu since the caked part (ladyfingers) doesn't seem to be dipped in espresso. So it was like having a very light and creamy cake that was not too sweet, but still very delicious! MANGO STICKY RICE TIRAMISU - $13.95 My friend ordered this and I was able to have a taste and it was pretty good! The cake part was green, and you actually taste the sticky rice flavor. They used fresh mango chunks and a mango sauce--overall yummy! Sure, it is a bit on the pricier side, but it was a nice break from being out in the rain. I enjoyed everything I ate here.

    The cutest cafe with amazing decor and ambiance, so aesthetic. The cakes were such a unique idea and flavor I wanted to try them all. Got the peach lychee cake which although the lychee tasted quite bad/unfresh, the cake tasted amazing with good light subtle flavor and creaminess and freshness. The pistachio berry cake was likewise amazing although more berry than pistachio flavor. The mango pomelo $10 was a hit for my friend who loved mango as there were mango fibers in it. The pink guava milk tea $7 had lots of tiny guava pieces which wasn't desired by me or my friend but the drink did grow on us. Overall it was good but not the place we'd likely come back as it does run a bit pricey/not as worth/lived than some other places I'd frequent. Also, the service was quite slow and server looked like she genuinely hated her job/life which wasn't too pleasant to witness/be served by.

    Pandan coconut. Mango sticky. Dubai Chocolate.
    Jenn H.

    This place is cute. I like the interior although it was cold inside. I love that they specialize in tiramisu and that they have so many different types to offer. I went with my friends and we all ordered something different. The pandan coconut one was my favorite - very light and fluffy (it's also the one I ordered lol). The mango sticky was ok, and the Dubai chocolate was my least favorite. The matcha latte was very good too. Not overly matcha'd which was nice. You order from the QR code at the table and they serve to the table if you decide to stay. Very easy. Very simple. Overall this place was nice. I might go back again for the matcha, but not for tiramisu. It wasn't worth going back to be honest but it was a cute novelty for the moment.

    I saw this cafe near union square and decided to stop by. The place looks very nice and it was quiet. Some people were there on their laptop to do some work. This place has different tiramisu and I got the strawberry one and also the salted caramel tiramisu. The salted caramel tiramisu was my favorite. I also got fried chicken and rice. They give a generous portion for the food and I was able to share with my friend. The food was delicious. Its a nice cafe and plan to go back there.

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. 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.

I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

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! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.
