Basics done well - this, to me, is what L'ami is. We've been to one or two other locations, also inside H Mart stores, and this location has a smaller selection overall. What they do have are of good quality. The red bean bun was as good as I expected it to be, with the acknowledgment that I prefer whole red bean fillings. The mini chocolatines also fit that description, with the flaky pastry and decent chocolate fillings that aren't overly sweet. There are tables and chairs where you can hang out, and staff at checkout was friendly. read more

We decided to get delivery from this bakery as there was a bundle offer on Uber Eats. We got the Spinach & Feta Danish (they gave us the pizza??), the Sweet Rice Donut, and the Twist. The twist was by far the best item. It was not too oily or doughy, had the right amount of sugar, etc. The Sweet Rice Donut, however, was drenched in oil, and every bite we took oozed out with more oil, making it really tough to eat. The Pizza or whatever flavor they gave us instead of the Danish was not that great, both cold and warm, and it was something that we overall did not enjoy. I think you're better off going to any one of the other Asian bakeries. read more

L'AMI Bakery & Cafe - Twisted Donut, Danish, & Sweet Rice Donut - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Been to L'AMI Bakery & Cafe numerous times. Staff is friendly and helpful. I like getting a cup of coffee and a sweet rice donut. After shopping at HMart I came back and got 2 more of the sweet rice donut and 2 of the Red Bean Bun. I will definitely come back and get more coffee and the sweet rice donut. Why? Brings back memories of my grandmother making sweet rice donuts. Sitting in chair at home watching for the sweet rice donut being fried and trying to grab them once they piping hot on the tray. Waited a while for them to cool down just to bite into the crispy dough with a sweet gooey treat inside. There are always specials at L'AMI Bakery & Cafe. Bun and donuts for $1.95. How to find this place. Located all the way on the opposite side (other end) of the Food Hall Entrance. Walk past the checkout counters and towards the end you will see L'AMI Bakery. Lots of seats and tables to enjoy your sweet treats. Check out the other eateries too. read more

Discovered this cute little bakery while shopping at HMart, and I'm so glad we stopped by! L'Ami Bakery Cafe is small but has a great selection of pastries that all looked fresh and tempting. So far, we've only tried the croissants, but they did not disappoint. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. The strawberry and cream-filled croissant was a huge hit -- my kids absolutely loved it. Personally, I enjoyed the round/ball shaped dough pastries with fillings. I tried the sesame bean filling and the matcha cream, and both were delicious. Fair warning though -- be careful when you bite into them. I wasn't expecting the filling to burst out the first time, but honestly, that just means they don't skimp at all on the filling. Another great tip: pastries are 20% off starting at 6 pm, so if you're in the area around that time, it's a perfect opportunity to grab a bunch. They also bake fresh daily, which really shows in the quality. Definitely worth a stop if you're near HMart and craving fresh, tasty pastries! read more

L'AMI Bakery & Cafe - Soybean and matcha cream sweet rice donuts - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Inside the H-Mart in Long Island City is this Korean bakery serving pastries, cakes, macarons, and beverages. We got to try a few different items and they were all very good. It seems they specialize in castella cakes, so we bought two. My family and I enjoyed Berry Berry Castella for its nice refreshing strawberry cake flavor and all the berries, while the Cream Cheese Cloud Castella was fluffier with its sponge cake-like texture. However, though expensive at nearly $4, I think the mocha bread was our group consensus for favorite item of the tasting. read more

The earl Grey cake slice was moist and the flavor of the tea came through in the cream. Would get this again. We also ordered a matcha daisy cake for a birthday which came with a knife and candles. This was good too - matcha cake with vanilla cream, but I appreciated the earl Grey more. I've also separately tried their mammoth bread and soboro red bean which were good. The mammoth bread has chestnuts and multiple types of bean pastes I think which I like more than other combinations of mammoth bread. read more

Visited L'ami during the food court promotional event, and while I haven't tackled their cakes yet (PS: they look delicious), I did try their macarons previously. Those macarons were so sweet that I practically felt a cavity forming with each bite. I had sugar fatigue halfway through my single macaron (not a good sign). But hey, I've heard rave reviews about their cakes. Apparently, they're the stuff of legends. So, I'm going to give them a shot next time and hope I don't end up in a sugar coma. 3 stars for now. read more

Was very surprised to see, at the end of the day, this branch literally tosses the leftover baked goods into the trash. When questioned, they explained that, because they do not use preservatives in their items, that they cannot sell past today. Also, they offer a 30% discount for an hour before closing. In my opinion, bag them up and donate them somewhere, but who am I to judge? read more

Charming little bakery inside H-mart. Ordered the Earl Grey cake for a birthday celebration. The cake was moist with a natural Earl Grey tea flavor. Everyone enjoyed its light and refreshing taste. Will definitely return to try other offerings. read more

I bought macarons for L and L liked it, but L doesn't really have discernible taste, but I took a bite of it and thought it was a little bit too sweet for my taste. But staff was nice and place seems clean. read more

Ate here today for dessert after eating at KimGaNae. I had brought and ate the chocolate tiramisu and it was really good and sweet. Again, since it was newly opened, I got a 30% discount as well and it was worth it. The service there was also attentive, friendly and super fast and quick. I couldn't agree more! Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :D read more

Their breads are delicious, soft and fluffy. They have pastries and cakes too. They also have hot and iced drinks, mostly coffee and tea. This bakery was there when HMart LIC opened, but now it's nicely decorated and look like an official bakery inside of HMart. You can use the food court seatings. They have 30% off until June 6th. Will have to try the cakes for a special occasion next time. This cafe opens at 9am daily. read more

New clean bakery located in the Hmart at northern Blvd as part of their food court. They have a lot of variety of pastries, cakes, breads and drinks. Everything is nicely presented/decorated and packaged that is typical of a Korean French inspired bakery. However this also means their prices are also higher. They are offering a 30 percent discount until beginning of June. I tried their cream bread and it was soft fluffy and very delicious. Normal price is 7.50. read more

A fancy Korean inspired French bakery inside the supermarket to meet a sweet tooth need or a caffeinated moment. Staff is friendly but sadly by 2pm, some pastries are in bad shape. My favorite croissant pan bread is all broken, but because this is the only bakery in nyc that I could find this version, I had to settle for a damage product. Poor handling skills? Wished it was discounted instead. At nearly $5, I want to at least get in a good shape. read more

Beautiful cakes and pastries LAmi is our new friend! We ordered a chocolate mousse cake to celebrate a birthday and it was absolutely wonderful. So delicious and the rich, dark cocoa made it extra special. Such a lovely presentation. Bonus was they gave us candles, a Happy Birthday decor and a serving knife for free. Price of the cake was great, as we got the 30% discount. This gem of a bakery will surely become our go-to for celebrations. read more

The puppy cake is both adorable and scrumptious. I love the packaged custard buns too.
