I am someone who really likes carbs so as soon as I found out there was a new bakery that opened up that sold unique breads, I knew I had to try it out. I enjoyed everything that I got this day. I do not fully remember the names but I will be back to try more of their pastries in the future. Starting off, the egg tart. It was so crispy and flaky with a nice creamy middle. Then we got a garlic cream cheese bread which was very nice. One thing to be wary about though is that most of the filling is in the middle and can get overpowering. Maybe try to spread it more evenly through the cracks yourself before eating it. Then we got a bread with black rice and cram in the middle. The bread itself was super fluffy and the middle was not too sweet but had a nice chewy texture which my sister and I both enjoyed. And last but not least, we got a bread that that a salted egg mochi with pork floss. It sounded extremely weird and like something that could work or would be gross so we knew we had to try it. Somehow, they made it work perfectly! It was my fiancés favorite out of everything that we picked. This is definitely the top bakery for me currently and I will be back soon to try more items.

Drinks were good but the baked goods could use improvement. I bought a bag of the custard toast and it looked nothing like the picture displayed. In the picture, the center of the toast was filled with custard. However, when I cut the toast open, there was barely any custard in the toast :(

Hmm based on initial impressions I'm not entirely convinced though I only tried one drink so I'm open to trying some other items and updating this review when I do. Storefront is fairly generic though quite open and spacious with seating and standing room for about 20 at curvy metallic bar-height tables. Looks like originally when they opened there were patches of wheat placed around these tables though they've since been removed. Baked goods are placed on shelves along the left side of the store. On the right along the wall there are digital kiosks for ordering however most people went directly up to the counter to order. I didn't notice the digital touch screens until I turned around and faced the front of the store. Seeing other Yelp friends' posts, the baked goods are fairly unique, in terms of flavor profile and technique, they're not your average Chinese bakery buns. That being said they're also more than twice your average Chinese bakery prices, so I did have some sticker shock. However compared to non-Asian bakeries that charge around the same prices or more, I suppose it's in the realm of reality in this mid-town neighborhood. Their custard tarts $6.49 are popular signature bakery item which I may try on my next visit. The black sesame and milk crumble sweet bun $6.79 and salted egg yolk mochi pork floss bun $6.99 intrigued me also. Staff was cordial and helpful when I had questions and my order took about 5 minutes to prepare. For my drink I got the red date ginger milk $5.95. What was great is that they served it steaming hot, but I didn't taste the red date flavor, it was sweetish but not distinguishable. The ginger flavor was also on the light side. I'd probably stick to regular teas and milk tea flavors next time. They carry alt milks too.

Ordered the brown sugar boba and tiramisu tart. The drink was OK. I loved the texture of the boba - chewy and soft. But the standout to me was the tiramisu tart. It was a tiramisu combined with an egg tart, two of my favorite desserts and wow it was so good! Service was also super fast.

Overall: 3.6/5 I was browsing their menu when the pastry selection caught my eye, so we stopped by and picked up the matcha taro bun ($7.49) and the salted egg yolk mochi pork bun ($6.99). These buns are soft and huge, great for snacking throughout the day or sharing. The salted egg yolk mochi pork bun was super underwhelming though. The filling to bread ratio was off, there wasn't a lot of pork floss, and I couldn't really taste the salted egg yolk at all. The matcha taro bun on the other hand was delicious. The taro paste was so good and paired really well with the matcha. A great dessert to satisfy my sweet tooth after dinner.

There were people sitting/hanging out in the store when I arrived (I think there was some sort of pop up or event happening), but there were not a lot of people in line to order. You get a tray and grab your own breads along the wall, and then can order extra things at the counter when you pay. The breads were all pretty large and on the denser side. The egg tart was good!

Originally found in Shanghai, this is one of the many bubble tea chains that have come over from China. I have been to this spot a handful of times, and they are always pretty crowded. The place has a good location, being close enough to Bryant Park but not too close, and far enough from Herald Square that you don't get the K-Town crowd. As expected, the workers here seemed overwhelmed the first time I was here, but they improved on subsequent visits. The first time, I didn't bother with tea and bought a pastry instead. I got the $6.99 Luigi Pistachio "Mini," with a full-sized version for $11.99. There is also a "Mario" version made with walnuts instead of pistachios. The small oat loaf had sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and pistachios embedded in it and was filled with pistachio cream. The bread had a pillowy, slightly chewy texture, with pistachio and the two seeds adding a bit of texture and some sweetness. There wasn't that much cream inside, but what was there was well-flavored. It was tasty overall, very lightly sweet, as is typical for Asian desserts, and would be a good option if you want a less buttery version of the pistachio croissants you find everywhere. The other times I've been here, I ordered drinks. I'm generally not someone who loves most bubble teas, as I prefer my drinks less sweet and with more tea flavor. The Oolong Breeze I once ordered was a bit above average. It was better than your generic spots like Vivi or Kung Fu, and it smelled nicely fragrant. The other time, I had an Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea, as it was cold out. The cup was a bit awkward to puncture, but I eventually got into it, and the flavor was alright. I prefer the osmanthus flavor from some other spots, as I found there was a bit too much milk. It was alright overall. This place is pretty solid. It's not the best at anything, but it's above average and certainly beats most spots in the surrounding area.

I got their Matcha dirty bun and their Matcha Taro Bun - both were huge especially the Matcha Taro Bun! There is a large table in the middle with seating around so I would say there is plenty of space to sit and enjoy. I got their stuff to go because it seems like most of it is prepackaged in foam containers and plastic bags anyway so figured it will travel well and it did. The Matcha dirty bun is indeed named appropriately; the powder will go everywhere if you aren't careful with your bite. I guess hold your breath when taking a bite to avoid inhaling the matcha lol. The Matcha Taro Bun was huge - definitely couldn't have finished it by myself. The bread was soft and had a nice chew to it. The bread was not too sweet but had a slight natural sweetness due to the raisins and read bean paste throughout the bread. The filling in the middle is the best part - lots of delicious taro! The person at the counter was very helpful and friendly.

Lelecha's Valentine's rose series is actually worth trying. The hot rose milk tea was my favorite -- comforting, floral, and not overly sweet. Great on a freezing day. The sparkling rose drink was lighter and had jelly inside, which was fun. Bakery items were solid too. The spicy pork floss bagel had real heat, and the matcha dirty bun was packed with matcha cream and powder (definitely shareable). Black sesame swirl bun is better heated. Nice casual stop for tea and pastries. Weekend crowds are real.

Went there on a Tuesday night and unfortunately, many of their items were sold out. I was able to pick up one plain and one butter caramel egg tarts, and a garlic cheese buns. I also ordered their jasmine breeze, which I didn't particularly liked because it tasted very bland. The tea flavor was not enough for me even though I already requested less ice and there was too much milk. All the other items, I got them to go and tried them the next day. The egg tarts were decent. The crust was flaky and the center was creamy. I honestly couldn't taste too much of a difference between the plain and butter caramel. The size was great and I guess it's because they have to justify the cost but I definitely prefer Portuguese egg tarts over this. To my surprise, I really enjoyed their garlic cheese bun. I reheated it a little, enough for it to be warm but not hot enough to for the cream to completely melt. The bread was soft and pillowy, extremely garlic and fragrant and had just the right about of creaminess and sweetness to balance out the flavors. As for the shop itself, there's a counter in the middle that splits and store in half with some stools for you to sit. The counter was quite dirty and no one was cleaning it up. There's also a lot of people that appears to be working behind the counter but I waited for quite some time to order even though there's only 1 person in front of me. And after she was done ordering, the person working the cashier just stood around and waited awhile before she took my order. They also seemed a little disorganized. My order number on the screen still says it's being prepared when my drink was already done waiting for me to pick it up. Overall, the flavors seem interesting but not enough when there's so much competition in the city. Nothing really stood out and nothing you couldn't find elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.

The tea is so fragrant! The jasmine and oolong tea were both very good. The butter caramel egg tart was amazing even though I ate it later, when it wasn't fresh anymore. It was so creamy inside and the laminated layers were so crispy. I'd love to come back and try more of the menu. The staff were kind, and they made the drinks quickly. There is a bit of seating inside, but the store interior is very small.

I visited this bakery because my friend works quite close to them. I got a couple of items from them but only remembered to take pictures of one of them. I think I got the matcha dirty bun? It was fine, it was very bready but also had a strong matcha flavor. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I also took home the spicy pork floss bagel, which was very spicy. I also took home a pork floss bun with a mochi and egg inside and it was fine. I steamed the bun when I ate it the next day and the mochi melted into a nice custardy interior. Place is... meh. My friend ordered the same pork floss bun with the mochi and egg but asked them to reheat it. Not sure what happened, maybe my friend should have stayed standing there but they basically reheated it and then left it there until my friend went back to the front to check on it about ten minutes later. It was literally just sitting in the microwave. On the screen, it said that her order was still being prepared and neither of us heard them call her order number. When I paid for my items, they were also very busy and didn't acknowledge me for a few minutes even though I was ready to pay. We went during lunchtime so they were also getting online orders, but it was a little odd that they didn't even say "sorry give me a moment." I was studiously ignored and had to stand and wait like a shmuck for maybe five minutes.

I came in at around six in the afternoon and most of the pastries were gone. I expected the pastries to be freshly made but they were packaged and kind of looked nothing like the pictures the bun tasted good and the drink was alright. Staff was friendly though

I was very excited to try out this bakery and ordered 4 items to try! The inside is cool with a hyper realistic display of the pastries in the middle and you can pick out the actual pastries from cases in the wall on the left side. You pay at the register and they pack up your items for you there. One thing to consider is there's no seating inside so we took our pastries to nearby Bryant Park to enjoy. We went Sunday morning one hour after opening and many pastries were already sold out. We ordered the Garlic Pretzel Bagel and Butter Caramel Egg Tart. The bagel was small, tasted okay, but nothing special. The egg tart was huge and so tasty! We were told they restocked some items every few hours so we came back later that day and tried the Matcha Dirty Bun and Salted Egg Taro Bun. The dirty bun was a huge cream puff and messy to eat. The bun was yummy and had good flavor. Overall we still weren't able to try some of the items we wanted to. It was pricey but the egg tart and salted egg taro bun were worth it. I do want to come back and give some other pastries a try. read more

Rarely do I give 5 stars for rating because I always feel that there can be improvements. I just tried their butter croissant and to me it's perfection! It's a light and flaky square shaped croissant base with the perfect cream that's a blend between egg custard and crème brûlée. If you're a fan of Chinese custard tarts and crème brûlées, this is the product for you!!! It's not crazy sweet or too stiff. This is my newest favorite dessert! Add a nice coffee or tea and you're in yummy peace read more

Warmed my stomach (and my heart) with the Red Date Ginger Milk and Tremella & Pear Herbal Tea. Both chock full of the kind of Chinese ingredients and flavors I grew up with--and I love how uncompromisingly Chinese they are even as many Chinese beverage ingredients have become mainstream--and both deliciously satisfying. My only complaint was that the Red Date wasn't piping hot like the Tremella. If it had been, I'm pretty sure it could cure any respiratory ailment. We also split the large, square, decadent Butter Caramel Egg Tart. And let's just say, I didn't want to share it. Ha. No photos because I was a gluttonous little piglet and consumed it all before phoning. read more

Service was quick but the drink selection hadn't been that interesting. The peach strawberry tea was their popular / recommended drink, and I got it with 30% sugar and still found it overwhelmingly sweet. They did have some baked goods that looked yummy and pretty special. I think I'd try one of those next time and skip the drink. Ambiance was nice and the baked goods presentation was pretty interesting. Note that there is not seating inside of the cafe. read more

Cute drink spot. There's plenty of indoor seedings and they have plenty of Breads and other treats. I love like their mochi items and like that gluteness Rice items. But that's pretty much all I get from here or the only reason I would come here. The service is fast they have self-organ kiosk and they have a lot of other snacks and treats. But I only come here cuz it's convenient. If there was a Molly Tea and the area I would definitely be visiting Molly Tea. But because this place is kind of convenient to the D train I visit here else I will be going to HeyTea which is nearby. read more

Mehhhh probably would not come here again. Kind of chaotic inside with no clear direction on where the line is. I got the strawberry jasmine drink, honeydew coconut drink, and tiramisu pastry. For both drinks, the fruit overpowered the taste so much where you aren't able to taste the jasmine/coconut. Weirdly enough, the honeydew drink has the fruit cut in an awkward thickness where you can't comfortably just swallow but it's also too thin to chew The best thing was probably the tiramisu pastry. No complaints on that They also had samples of their bagels and cream pastries inside but TBH they did not have much taste and were very mushy. Kind of just tasted like a blob of sugar with no actual distinct flavor Nothing really wow'd me so unlikely to come again, but cool to check out read more

I went to Lelecha on grand opening day and was surprised at how quick the service was despite how crowded the store was. Not only do they sell boba, which includes both fruit teas and milk teas, but they also have a bakery section where you can order sweet or savory freshly baked buns with various fillings. I ordered the Chunky Strawberry Peach tea. The tea was nice, refreshing, and you could taste the fresh fruit in the drink. They also let you adjust the sugar and ice levels like other boba places. I also split a Matcha Taro Red Bean bun with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by the fluffy texture of the bread and how much filling there was. All of the staff were super nice and quick to help. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Heard about this viral Chinese bakery opening in Manhattan and finally got my hands on their baked goods!! My friend brought them to our party but I wasn't quick enough to get pics before they quickly consumed. The Spicy Pork Jerky & Floss Bagel was probably my favorite because it brought back many childhood memories of eating pork floss buns. I liked how they packed a good amount of pork floss inside the bagel while retaining the chewiness and airiness of a bagel. I liked how the chewy jerky provided textural contrast and how it was tad spicy on the outside. The Garlic Cheese Bun indeed radiated a strong garlic aroma which I enjoyed! I thought the cream cheese part would be really heavy but it was lighter than expected. The Dirty Bun did a great job of making the top layer kinda crispy with a soft chocolate custard on the inside. The cocoa powder on top confers this chocolate bitterness that balanced other sweet flavors of the bread and custard. The black sesame & milk crumble swirl bun reminded me of the Cantonese cocktail bun but with more sesame embedded into the bread and black sesame filling. I enjoyed it cause it again brought back childhood memories but also loved how it wasn't too sweet despite a packed filling. I look forward to checking out their other pastries and drinks!! read more

I came , I saw, I ate. This new Asian bakery and Bubble Tea spot flew under my radar for over a month because my at the new office changed my walking street pattern and I don't normally pass the block this place is on. From the odd ball selection I could not tell that the place is Chinese. They have Butter Caramel Tart, Dirty Bun, Tiramisu Tart, Garlic Cheese Bun, Mario Walnut or Coffee Crumble Loafs, Spicy Pork Floss Bagel, Luigi Pistachio Loaf. Matcha Taro Bun. and more. I got the Garlic Cheese Bun, Tiramisu Tart, and Buttery Cream Bread. They all of them tastes real good, and the cream cheese fillings were all fresh. The aroma alone from the Garlic Cheese Bun will hit you 10 feet away. I advise you to take a breath mint or just gargle with mouthwash if you do the Garlic Cheese Bun. The three items I went for cost me a $20 , but I know I will be back for more it was that good. read more

We arrived an hour before closing and luckily there wasn't a line. I was craving boba and stumbled upon this place from TikTok! I ordered the taro mochi black Ceylon with 30% sweetness and less ice. The drink was made quickly and it was so delicious! The mochi was warm and chewy with real taro chunks mixed into it. The black ceylon tea wasn't too strong but definitely woke me up. The decor inside was quite interesting with limited seating. Next time I would like to try their dirty buns! read more

I've been super excited to try Lelecha but ended up being disappointed. I got the Chunky Strawberry Peach Tea and it was super icy and crunchy and not blended up well. I've seen some people say it's better than hey tea, but I definitely disagree. The bread looked tasty but when I went to grab some there were a bunch of fruit flies flying all over and landing on some of the breads. Even though it's in a case, it's not very tightly sealed and don't close all the way, so it wasn't helping to protect the bread much. I did get one bread - the garlic cream cheese bagel and that was pretty tasty! They also had the bread decorated for Halloween which was cute. I probably wouldn't come back again besides maybe for the bread (but definitely look out for any fruit flies!!) read more

I walked by this place a few weeks ago and was very intrigued so I finally made by way back. There's not much seating in the store, but there are a few stools (~4-5) for those dining in. The bread and pastries look amazing - they have a display on the counter where you can take a look at the cross-section of the products before you buy. It was hard to choose but we got the tiramisu tart, which is a tiramisu on top of a custard tart, and the matcha taro bun. Both were really good and very hefty - they were definitely on the rich / sweeter side so we ate a bit and packed the rest to go. I also got the golden rice mochi oolong milk tea, which I loved. Not many places have mochi as a topping for milk tea, and this one had the added texture of rice mochi (i.e. there were pieces of rice embedded in the mochi) which I hadn't had before. The oolong flavor also came through and it wasn't too sweet (I got 30% sugar). Would love to come back to try their other drinks and desserts! read more

I got the caramel butter egg tart and the golden rice mochi oolong with the cheese luoluo, but they forgot the cheese luoluo :( The egg tart was bigger than I thought. I'd say it's 50% larger than a regular egg tart. It came with a lot of custard, which I liked. The rice mochi was very rice heavy. There were lots of rice grains and little mochi. I probably wouldn't get this again. The milk tea was pretty standard. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come to this place specifically. I would get it if I'm in the area and is craving milk tea. read more

Saw this place on Insta and we were around the area so we decided to make a short trip here. When you're inside, it looked very fancy and not a typical bun/pastry place. There was a long swirly mirror table in the middle that displayed the pastries that they have. When you walk in, to your left there are the pastries, behind some sliding glass. If you're familiar with some of the Asian bakeries, you basically grab a plastic tray put some wax paper on it and pick up your metal tongs. From there you go through the glass and see what you want! Like I said before, it's not that typical even the selections so don't expect boring selections or CHEAP selections. They are NOT cheap at all. One pastry can go up to 7-8 dollars. But it's new and our first time so we tried to get a few selections. I really wanted to try the soft cream cheese garlic bread but we also got a cameral egg tart, the dirty buns (both matcha and chocolate) and the chicken avocado bread/bun. As we went to get checked out, it was a little confusing. There were some people standing around for their drinks and yeah make sure you don't drop your items! We didn't get any drinks but we found out Lelecha Wonder was also known for their drinks...oh well. We took these babies home!! After lunch tho cause we were hungryyyy and we wanted real food. Anyways - we tried the garlic cream cheese and I loved it! I only had a quarter cause we had some other items. I will tell you this, I had some for 2 more days and it was still good. Yes, the first day was better but it was still good. I will deff come to get this again. Another thing I would deff get is that caramel egg tart. I will be honest, I thought it would be like any other egg tart, how special could it be? Well...I was wrong! I admit it! and it's fine! It looks dense when you cut it in half but it's actually so light when you bite into it. I shared everything with my boyfriend but I sure as hell wished we got one each. The crust was flakey and the center was soft, jiggly and not overly sweet either! The chicken avocado wasn't too bad, deff a good savory choice if you aren't into sweets. The chicken isn't drink and flavorful enough. Now the dirty buns ; the matcha was alright. I don't really taste any sweetness and I honestly hate the heavy dusting of the matcha powder on time. The chocolate one is a different story - you see this big boy and think it'll be overly maybe it'll be too much cholate. NOPE! It's soft and has like light chocolate flavor that you won't regret and get diabetes! (I think...) So yeah, I'll go again to get the top two favorite - the garlic cream cheese and egg tart. I would like to try the other items we didn't try AND a drink. read more

The egg tart was huge and filled with bouncy (not jiggly cuz it's thicc) custard. It was definitely one of the best egg tarts I've had. However, I ordered the basque cheese version and didn't think that it was any different from the regular version. The matcha dirty bun was coated in matcha power and filled with custard cream. I really liked these two and will return to try out the other interesting flavors. read more

The matcha is honestly very inconsistent, sometimes it's perfect and sometimes it's milky. Jasmine is pretty good but I think it could be stronger. Their paistries are decent. The Tiramisue is good but I wish it had a stronger coffee flavor. Very creamy and the cake is not soggy at all. The tiramisu tart is so good though would highly reccomend. the Dirty bun is good as well I like the chocolate crunchy top, but tbh it's nothing special. Service is good and quick. I really liek the interior though very futuristic and fun. read more

But on to the burger - good lord were those onions piping hot lol, but very very tasty and added a nice element of sweetness to the burger. The smashburger patties were nicely cooked - though I did find the patties didn't really have the crispy lacing, perhaps of the added moisture from the onions; with a great video of the griddle and kitchen, it did seem like the classic smash burgers did have that crispy look. Either way, the burger was still very satisfying and I'm glad I came by. I'll definitely have to come in for the classic smash and compare!

I recently stopped by Lelecha and it's such a fun spot if you're into bubble tea and Asian-inspired pastries. The space is bright, modern, and perfect for a quick dessert or drink break in the city. Everything looked so good in the display case it was honestly hard to choose. The drinks were super refreshing and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. I also loved that they have unique flavors you don't usually see at typical bubble tea shops. The pastries were fresh and fluffy, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the presentation. It's more of a grab-and-go spot than somewhere to sit for a long time, but definitely worth stopping by if you're nearby and craving something sweet or a good boba. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks and baked goods! read more

I got the honeydew coconut bliss which was 11/10 amazing. I would adjust the sweetness though it is on the sweeter side. We also got the citrus burst tea which was so refreshing. I highly recommend this place. read more

LeLe Tea in New York is a hidden gem! Their drinks are not only beautifully presented but also full of flavor. The cheese foam tea is smooth and rich, and the fruit teas are super refreshing. The staff is friendly, the vibe is cozy, and it's a perfect place to relax or catch up with friends. read more
