    Oh my god smells soooo good
    Rebecca S.

    I've been a long time customer and fan of Lee Lee's for many years. Mr. Lee lee is always so warm and welcoming when you walk in, greeting you so kindly. It always smells DELICIOUS! You can't go wrong with anything you order but you MUST get a selection of rugelach. The other cookies are also delicious, as is the pound cakes and sliced cakes. If you are lucky enough to visit when there are blueberry cheesecake slices available- you must get a slice! So light and airy but also flavorful and still decadent. Always a great experience at Lee Lee's!

    My mom and I were in the area celebrating get birthday and she wanted a slice of cake to go. I checked Yelp and saw the great reviews from this spot. It's a small bakery that's more of a take out spot. The staff was very friendly. As soon as you walk in the yummy smells embrace you. They had a few slices of cakes available on the side. Inside their main case was variety of cookies, pies and other baked goods. My mother saw the customer in front of us picking up two big sweet potato pies and opted for a smaller version of the pie. She complained about the price even though she wasn't paying for it, talking about i could've made this myself. lol We get to her house and she can't put the pie down. She raved about the pie and said it was very delicious and she regrets not getting the bigger one. lol I will definitely check out this bakery again to satisfy my sweet tooth.

    Lee Lee's Baked Goods of Harlem has the best rugelach pastries I have ever eaten. They truly are the King of Excellent Rugelach pastries. Rugelach are often served on Jewish holidays like Hanukkah and Shavuot, though of course they can be made anytime throughout the year. Jewish families typically serve them during Rosh Hashanah, when sweet foods are made to signify a sweet new year. The hospitality of at Lee Lee's reminds me of Southern charm, you will feel at home. From the moment you enter the bakery. Apricot rugelach's are my favorites here. Don't take my word for it, give them a try. My initial visit, I double parked. On one of many visits. I placed my order ahead, had exact change, and the staff was kind enough to bring the order to my car. They are really the best.

    Lee Lee's Yummy Rugelach Fudge Cookies Plus Delicious Apricot and Raspberry Rugelach

    Since moving to this neighborhood, regularly walked by Lee Lee's Baked Goods, which his signage touts his Rugelach. After the passing of my Grandmom, who baked her own, had not really gone for rugelach. In fact, the only one I ventured to try over the years was Washington Heights' Carrot Top's Carrot variety, which was quite good but wasn't anything traditional. For dinner at a friend's, had to pick up our dessert and thought it would be a good opportunity to finally try them out. So glad I did! Lee Lee's case was filled with small pies and other baked goods, including Hamentaschen, their three Rugelach varieties (Raspberry, Apricot, Chocolate), and Rugelach Fudge Cookies - made from rugelach dough. The owner Mr. Lee (a.k.a. Lee-Lee) was out front, but came in when I was reviewing the selection and offered me a sample Rugelach. I chose the Chocolate, which was topped with chocolate as well. Yum! For my friends, I brought Lee Lee's Peach Pie, Raspberry and Apricot Rugelach, and those Rugelach Fudge Cookies. Everything was awesome, but especially enjoyed the cookie!!! Definitely plan on picking up something baked and sweet from Lee Lee's again and recommend you try it out too!

    Small shop with reasonably priced baked goods. I popped in and it was quick and easy to pick up small apple pie. I took it home for dessert and warmed it up with vanilla ice cream. They also have a peach one I might try another day. Apple pie gave me 4 good quarter servings and was very flavorful and crumbly and just sweet enough.

    Such a gem! Really delightful store owner Mr. lee! Upon walking in to the establishment we were greater with smiles and the air smelled of freshly baking goods! Such nostalgia! I wanted to try everything he had. I settled on apricot rugelach because I heard soo much about it and am grateful that I did. The first bite into it and it shows the ingredients he uses are top notch. It reminded of my old classmates grandmothers homemade rugelach. Soooo good! I definitely will be a repeat customer and will order for special occasions! A+++

    Lee lee's IS LEGENDARY. So first thing you should know is Lee Lee runs the register and is lovely. The second is that his rugelach is incredible. I got the chocolate rugelach which was a classic rugelach (with cinnamon, nuts etc) but with an even sweeter addition. I also picked up a black and white cookie which was one of the best I have had in the city.

    Are there vegan options?

    I'm not 100% sure but I doubt it since it's a very no frills bakery. It's very small and the only make a few items

    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.

    Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. 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.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

We got the Ube Crepe Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake. The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.
