The minimalistic space was nice to just sit down and have a dessert. The staff had an English accent which was interesting. We enjoyed looking at various desserts and trying some of them. The desserts were mostly not that sweet, and light in flavors. The pear dessert was amazing and elegant. Would love to try other chocolate desserts next time. I also enjoyed the tea selection! read more

Finally tried this bakery/cafe that everyone's been raving about! The interiors were clean, and the ordering room upstairs resembled a minimalistic museum, which I found very cute. I got takeout since I didn't get to make a reservation. On the day I went, the popular corn mousse cake was already sold out, so I ordered the lysee mousse cake, apple-yuja tart, set of 3 lysee cake collection, and iced lysee signature latte. The pastries and drink were good, so I'll admit that they are definitely a unique find in the city. However, you can expect to make a dent in your wallet with their price tags. I spent a total of about $85 on all the items, as I was planning on sharing these with my family who was visiting for the weekend. I asked for four sets of disposable utensils, and when I received them, I was then told that they normally only give a maximum of two sets. I was surprised to hear that off-putting remark because I had just bought and spent so much on their desserts, yet I was still told that they were giving me more than the maximum allowed sets of disposable utensils. Overall, I had an average experience and although it was worth a first try, I would probably not return unless a friend really convinced me to. read more

We tried their signature menu which includes the Corn, Lysée, Kouign Amann, and the Seasonal Tart. The presentation of each pastry was actually beautiful and they all tasted amazing. The Corn really stood out because I was kinda skeptical at first about how it would taste..but the mousse and crunchy sable inside actually paired perfectly together. You can make reservations for the downstairs seating area, ordering from their Signature Menu or A la carte, and for takeout, you can go to their second floor to browse all the pastries, which are displayed out on a long table. The interior is super aesthetic and minimalistic -- it was such a cute experience!! read more

I have gotten desserts here and recently came in with my girlfriends for brunch. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I love the aesthetic of the restaurant and how everything is presented. The brunch was quite filling and they have lots of drink options :) my favorite is definitely the smoked salmon sandwich on the brunch menu. Their house made granola is really delicious as well, they do sell them in a jar! Overall this is a really cute place for brunch, can't wait to be back to try their desserts! read more

One of the best dessert experiences I had in the city! I came to Lysee on Valentine's Day. In festive spirit, we ordered the Valentine's prix fixe menu ($79), which was pricey for dessert but definitely worth the experience. Food: The prix fixe menu consisted of the following. 1. Pink Lady mocktail- this drink had a subtle fruity taste to it. It wasn't too sweet, which paired well with the rounds of desserts that came afterwards. 2. Heart for two- this was my favorite thing! It tasted so good and complex - the vanilla cream was perfectly fluffy with a slight pepper taste that added a just the right amount of savory kick (though that sounds a tad weird). The chocolatey sable on the bottom added a nice crunchy texture. 3. Teddy couple - while this looked extremely cute, it was not my favorite thing flavorwise. It tasted a bit dry 4. rose- very cute, rich chocolate flavor. Service/Ambience: This cafe was decorated with modern design. The place was clean and the servers were extremely helpful and sweet. I will definitely be coming back to try out their popular staples (corn, lysee, vic etc). Be aware that its pretty pricey for dessert but I think its worth every once in a while. read more

Meh. I was unimpressed. We ordered the corn cake and the lysée - two desserts which texturally were much too similar. They had the same light and fluffy mousse exterior with a crunchy base. As someone who has had both Asian-inspired desserts and French desserts, this one missed the mark for me. It was far too sweet and there just weren't enough flavors being added in the mix to create something truly memorable. Sure, the corn cake had a nice presentation to it, but I'd rather go to Dominique Ansel or Sweet Rehab for something that is also more exciting to taste. Overall, the flavors fell flat and the cakes also immediately started perspiring the moment we stepped outside (as pictured). read more

The desserts are gorgeous! I really enjoy their Lysee dessert - but it can be pretty rich so best for sharing. I also tried their black sesame caramel shortbread cookie (it was the experimental flavor of the month), which had a pretty strong unique flavor - not my favorite. The last dessert I ordered was the seasonal fig tart - it was pretty creamy and had a slight metallic flavor? Each item was $16-$17 a piece so this store is on the pricier side. I'm glad that they have a portion of the store for takeout because their sit-down section is really small and reservations get booked out FAST. I would like to come back to try the corn in the future. read more

Let me tell you... if art was the form of dessert it would be LYSÉE! For Pete's sake, it had its own gallery upstairs where each dessert was presented beautifully. If you don't have a reservation, forget about it. But you can always do takeout for select products! Our server, the desserts, and the overall experience was amazing. Came here with a reservation for our 5-year anniversary. Had to order the lysée and corn for sure because we were told these would be sold out by 2 PM usually. Besides that decided to throw in petit jardin because while you are here, you better overdose on sugar! For drinks, we ordered the lysée signature latte and the white duke. The teas you automatically get refills as servers are always walking around. The Lysée - creamy, the corn - corny, and the petit jardin - citrusy! The perfect trio to balance each other out with each bite. They were even nice enough to provide a candle on the lysée because we told them we were celebrating our anniversary. Not a moment went by when our server didn't ask about our experience or refill our tea and water. Definitely pricey but I left happy and full on three desserts. Will definitely have to come back to try everything else on the menu!! read more

Lysee was my first stop in NYC coming from Boston, and it was certainly an experience. We went upstairs for takeout (looks like there's minimal seating downstairs with a reservation), and were greeted with a museum-style gallery of pastries. We went on a Friday afternoon and it seems like everything was in stock. I was shell-shocked by literally all of the prices (I'm used to fancy pastries being less than $10), but nevertheless got a sampling of items. We got the Lysee and VIC desserts and the pear juice and signature latte. The Lysee ($17, 4/5) was very aesthetic with many different textures. The toasted rice flavor was strong and I liked the light cream. It was a little bit too sweet, but would probably go well with an unsweetened coffee or tea. To me, it wasn't worth the money, but I'm glad I got to try their signature dessert. The VIC ($15, 3.5/5) was pretty one-note -- just rich chocolate in a couple of different levels of softness. There was nothing wrong with it but it didn't have anything distinguishing itself from other chocolate desserts, and I wouldn't get this again. The latte ($8, 4/5) was good, very smooth, good temperature, didn't have a bitter aftertaste. There was a toasted rice flavor that made it taste it nice and nutty. But the serving size was pretty small for the price. The pear juice ($12, 4/5) was pure pear juice served in a reusable glass bottle. I thought I was ordering a yuja pear juice but it turned out to just be pear? It was fine. Overall this was a very aesthetically-pleasing elevated Korean-inspired dessert experience. It didn't hit the notes for me (I prefer fruitier and/or lighter flavors), but I'm sure people who like these flavors would love these desserts. read more

This is a dream for a dessert lover. There is usually a waiting line outside, took me around 15 min to get in. You either have an option to take out or dine in and enjoy the experience.

Cool one time experience dessert spot. My friends and I got the Lysée, Corn, and Fig Tart to try. All three of them were super pretty in presentation but sad that they melt quickly if you are trying to do take out especially on a summer day!! The Lysée and the Corn seem to melt the quickest since they are like mousse cakes. My favorite is the corn. The leaves of the corn taste like matcha and the content of the corn desert taste really refreshing in a way. Overall it's quite overpriced for desserts but worth the one time experience!! read more

I made an "a la carte" reservation for a mid-afternoon. It wasn't too busy, but service was still a little slow. That said, everything was beautiful and delicious. The corn cake was our favorite in terms of taste and appearance. I'd say it tasted like corn flakes but that seems so banal a description. We also tried a tart, a brioche (the cream filling was outstanding), and the chocolate cake. I am a huge fan of most all chocolate cakes and that this one was my least favorite dish was really a testament to how exquisite and interesting the other flavors and textures were. read more

I did take out from the second floor. It is hard to choose from all the stunning options but needed to get that corn on the cob beauty. Is it corny? Yes. It's got a creamy slightly corn tasting exterior with a crunchy cereal-esque chestnut-ish center "trunk". I give it 5 stars for its look. The banana choco cookie reminds me of a crumbl cookie w a purposely undrecooked center. I told myself I need to go back for the Madeline and teddy bear chocolate cookie looking thing. I vote for its artistic and creative caliber. read more

Dessert lovers haven! Not a lot to see in terms of the space but no worries because desserts are the stars of the show. Came in with my brother for a signature prix-fixe experience which comes with four dessert treats and of course, you have the option to add in...which we did! We added the V.I.C (very important chocolate cake) and finished almost everything between the two of us. Super tough to pick a favorite. The flavors were all light and delicate, not overpowering in sweetness, which I appreciated. I also had a latte and wish I would have opted for a tea instead. Normally, I am a coffee and dessert person but since the flavors were lighter, I think a tea would have been more complementary. Have already recommended to friends who have plans to visit the city soon! read more

5 out of 5, without a ounce of doubt. They have a wide range of desserts, something for everyone. The dessert are also a bit on expensive side but the quality of top notch and the creativity is to. They have two floors, bottom for dine in with 5-6 tables and upstair for take out. The decor is beautiful and upstair has an amazing display of all the desserts and while you wait in line you can appreciate them all without being rush staring at a menu. We order the lysee gateaux , lysee cake collection and individual lysee and corn. All of them is so different but so good. There is so much more I want to go back and try. I wish they have a 3-5 course dessert sit in so we can sample everything. I'll be backkkk for sure !!! read more

When I ate at Jungsik many moons ago, I fell in love with the desserts crafted by the talented Pastry Chef Eunji Lee. Her baby banana dessert was a signature at Jungsik for years. And as an Asian American and Francophile, I especially enjoyed her incorporation of Asian flavors using French techniques. Therefore when I heard she left to open her own pastry shop Lysée, I had to make a stop to check it out when I visited New York. Lysée is a two-level pastry boutique. The first level is a dine-in cafe with a private dining nook and a demonstration counter. The space is airy, bright, and elegant. Upstairs is the showroom, where pastries, cakes, tarts, and sweets are displayed all day. The menu is divided into collections of patisserie, viennoiserie, gâteaux de voyage, and homemade drinks. Patisserie currently includes: Lysée (signature mousse cake in the shape of the shop's logo); Corn (signature corn mousse cake); Flatiron (a Saint Honoré choux dessert); Petit Jardin (pineapple-Thai basil-coconut-calamansi cream tart); V.I.C. (chocolate layered cake); and Pluot Tart (seasonal plum tart with oolong cremeux). Patisserie items range from $15-18. Viennoiserie currently includes: Full Moon (croissant filled with homemade hazelnut and chocolate spread); Corn Brioche (French soft milk bread with corn cremeux); and Kouign Amann. Items range from $6.50-6.90. Gâteaux de Voyage currently includes: Lysée Cake Collection; Lysée Gâteaux Collection; Yuja Cake; Marble Cake; Chocolate Shortbread Box; Experimental Shortbread Box; Pecan Financier; Teddy Bear Duo; Milk Chocolate Banana Cookie; and Lysée Granola. Items in this collection range from $5-40. Finally, the homemade drinks currently include Lysée Signature Latte ($8), Herbed Calamansi Juice ($10), and Lysée Signature Brown Rice Milk ($9). The menu also has a few tea selections, coffee (sourced from Coffee Project NY), and some specialty drinks like Sejak green tea, Balhyo black tea, Magnolia brown rice green tea, and burdock root. My friend and I came around 2:30pm and were luckily the first in line at the time. We were quoted for a 20-minute wait, but it was actually only a 10-minute wait. We ordered the Petit Jardin, V.I.C., and Plutot Tart, and we each ordered a Signature Brown Rice Milk. Unfortunately, Lysée and Corn were both sold out by then. If you're keen to try those two (the most popular items in the Patisserie Collection), be sure to come earlier when they open at noon. I've heard and seen long lines right before they open, but you are guaranteed to secure the more requested items if you go earlier in the day. Each patisserie is made with such imagination, artistry, and tastefulness. I loved the V.I.C. or Very Important Chocolate Cake. It's their version of a chocolate layered cake but rather than a traditionally heavy chocolate cake, this one is composed of delicate layers of dark chocolate sponge cake, chocolate mousse, and a caramel seasoned with Timut peppercorns. I also loved the Petit Jardin, as the flavors of pineapple and Thai basil really pop. Even the homemade brown rice milk was delicious with its toasty notes of brown rice infused milk, vanilla bean, and sea salt. The playfulness and ingenuity of Chef Eunji Lee come through in every single pastry, cake, and tart she creates. I find that these pastries and desserts have a certain whimsical and refined quality that is unmatched elsewhere. Highly, highly recommend a stop at this beautiful Flatiron shop. read more

Came here after seeing a friend of mine post photos of the beautiful desserts and gallery. The service was great - just as you would expect at a luxury cafe. We ordered the Corn mousse and signature Lysee cake. I preferred the corn more because of its unique taste! The Lysee cake was great too - not too sweet. My husband ordered an herbal tea and it was ok. In terms of value for money I think the desserts were fairly priced but drinks were a tad bit expensive for my taste. read more

Unbelievable food, drinks, and experience. The service is fantastic! Everyone is so attentive and polite. Chef Eunji is a genius with her flavours and everything we had was delicious. My favourites were the Corn and the Lysée. The Corn had an incredible corn flavour which most places won't do. It smacks you in the face with sweet corn and I loved it. Also has great textures. The Lysée had an incredible burnt flavour from the brown rice. It is absolutely amazing and was my overall favourite of the night. Also had incredible textures!!! I highly recommend this spot and I'm so excited that it's here to stay. read more

Came to pick up a VIC for a VIP as a bday treat. The showroom is minimalist in its style and is set up to highlight the individual cakes - all of which look exquisite. The VIC was a wonderful cake, but was maybe 4-5 bites in its size. I appreciate that a lot goes into the baking process here, but that doesn't mean that the almost $20 price tag (once tax & tip are added) doesn't hurt. read more

Wow!!!! Truly an incredible experience that is worth every penny. The corn cake is a must-try!!! This pastry is not only adorable but also DELICIOUS!!! The cake melts in your mouth and has a unique corn taste. I don't even like corn but I LOVED THIS CAKE!!!! 11/10 would recommend :) TIP: Be sure to arrive to Lysée early to ensure you can try out one of these cakes! They often run out later in the day even though they limit it to 1 per customer. read more

Everything is so well designed, from the flavors in each pastry to the way they are showcased. You can either take the pastries to go or sit down in the cafe on the first level. The sit down experience requires a reservation that can be tough to get. Though pricy, the pastries and drinks I've tried have been creative and top notch. The Lysee: My favorite! I'm not sure I can do a great job of describing the different flavors, but it carries the same name as the shop for a reason. Corn: Iconic. I'm obsessed with how closely it resembles the actual thing. VIC: Dark and decadent Fig Tart: I believe this one is seasonal. Good but not my favorite Flatiron: good but also not my favorite Jujube Cookies: The shortbread was buttery soft, and the filling was uniquely pleasant. Lysee Signature Milk: Love love love this! Calamansi: Refreshing and pairs well with the sweet pastries One small complaint is that the pastries tend to have crunchy bottoms that can be difficult to cut through with the provided utensils, making it hard to get every component in a single bite. Overall, I love Lysee and can't wait to make my way through their entire menu. read more

Saw a bunch of photos online about this place so came to check it out. I didn't make a reservation to eat there so I went upstairs and did takeout. The upstairs has their cute museum type display of the desserts they offer. I ordered the Lysee, Corn, and Fig. I enjoyed the experience of all of them, but will say the corn was my favorite, it had a bit of a crunch to it that made it more unique. This place definitely is on the upper end of aesthetic desserts and I thoroughly enjoyed that (hence the photos) as well. The takeout boxes they use are also super cute. read more

If you are looking for luxury high quality mini desserts this is the spot!! We arrived 2pm and it was packed!! We were seated in 15-20 minutes and the host was so sweet !! This spot is immaculate and very well thought out. Every tiny detail is an embodiment of elegance. The walls , the tiny rock passage leading to the stairs, the display, the brass looking silverware. I mean it just a dream. We had one of each pastry. The star of the show for was the choux. I usually don't like choux but this was divine. The textures where so fun, it hit every note. It was light airy and beautiful. Reminded me of an Argentinian dessert with a twist. It was absolutely wonderful!! The chocolate cake was a bit underwhelming, great chocolate quality and cake was tasty but it wasn't wooow. The corn was super disappointing as it tasted like not much of anything. The mousse was just the best texture of fluffy and light airy textures. The bottom seemed liked a granola it was eh overall. The petit jardín was phenomenal!! The bright flavors were balanced between a bright citrus and a buttery crust. It's palate cleanser and a must have!! The lysee was the rice mousse and it was so enjoyable. It was one of our favorites. We also had a hot tea which was such a refresher. We tried the bottled toasted rice milk and loved it but it was a bit heavy on the salt. We even saw the chef and she greeted us and spoke with us.she was so welcoming and kind. Overall this was the best NYC luxe pastries we've ever had. read more

Beautiful desserts. The place is austere in design. Small dining room downstairs. Stark stairway to small retail area upstairs. The line outside makes it clear this place is experiencing a popularity streak at the moment. Staff was friendly and professional in monitoring the line. We went immediately upstairs to order. There, the offerings are laid out like an exhibit in a modern art museum. Got a sample of the offerings and enjoyed them on the way to the airport. Wished we had more time to sit and enjoy the food there. Found everything neat and interesting. Delicate flavors with unique twists. This would be just the sort of thing to bring to a dinner party as the end of a fine meal. read more

It's giving Musée du Louvre, but make it edible. @lysee.nyc is a new pastry boutique by chef @eunji.leeee in Flatiron. Combining cultural influences - French, Korean, and NYC - Lee invites visitors to experience her gallery of confections with meticulously-crafted patisseries, viennoiseries, and gateaux. Divided into two levels, the ground floor serves as a cute café where you can order in and eat. If you don't care to dine-in, you can always order to-go and "tour" the dessert gallery upstairs, where each sculptural treat is beautifully displayed. The patisseries here are pretty mousse-forward, which I found to be a bit repetitive in succession, so I'd recommend just getting the Corn Mousse Cake--it does indeed have the juice--which was my personal favorite and one of their viennoiseries (read: baked goods) for textural variety. -------- IG: @dinelikeaduchess read more

I heard rave reviews about Lysee ever since it opened, and it met my (very) high expectations. I visited on Day 1 of my NYC trip, so I wasn't able to haul any goodies back home due to conflict with when they were open. It's located in a two-story shop. The first floor is for dine-in customers. The second floor has a stunning gallery of all the delicious desserts. I loved that they offered a few boxes set. You could spend a pretty penny here! I ate way too much sugar that day, so stuck to the less pricy goodies to try- dark chocolate buckwheat cookie and coco-passion brioche. I am so glad that I decided to get the cookie b/c the customer before me ordered a big bag full of desserts and seemed really excited about the cookie. Omg it was delicious. I ate it bites of it for the next couple of days and it was still incredible. The coco-passion brioche was amazing too. If you like cream puffs, it's a must try. The packaging was beautiful, too. read more

Lysee creates delicate Asian-inspired desserts at a price point you'd expect from a high-end or Michelin star restaurant. I'm happy to report that the hype is real. After coming here twice, I'm convinced that it deserves 5 stars. FYI that they run out of their signature Lysee and Corn by 2 or 3 pm on weekdays. LOVED: 1/ Pluot Tart (Seasonal, $17) - 5/5. This stone fruit tart was an explosion of flavor in my mouth and extremely refreshing. We had this as part of indoor dining, and it is one of my favorite desserts this summer. I really liked how delicate the tart was too - it was wafer-like! 2/ Flatiron ($17) - 4.5/5. Beautiful creamy dessert. My bf loved it even though we had it several hours after we left the store. 3/ Signature Brown Rice Drink ($9) - 4.5/ 5. I don't know how they transformed brown rice into this delicious milk but it's amazing. My bf and I fought over the last bottle. 4/ Corn Brioche ($6.70) - 4/5. Reminds me of a Chinatown baked item, but way better! PASS: 5/ Teddy Bear Duo ($14) - 2/5. I have a huge sweet tooth, but these cute teddies were WAY too sweet. My friend and I could not finish either of them. STILL HAVE NOT TRIED: Lysee or Corn since we came at 3 and 4 pm both days. Better luck next time ;). Also shoutout to Madeline for being a great hostess - she's so kind! read more

I'm such a sucker for cute cafes and desserts, so I definitely had to drop by Lysee. We went on a Sunday around 3pm and got really lucky getting a seat. I recommend making reservations before coming if you want to order, chill, and take pictures. The service was amazing. Janet was so attentive, kind, and extemely helpful!! We ordered the corn, lysee, and the signature lysee latte. I had pretty low expectations, but both cakes were pretty good. I read so many good reviews about the lysee signature latte, so I was excited to try it but it was pretty disappointing. Definitely a one time experience since it's pretty expensive. read more

I came to Lysee to try the popular corn mousse cake with a friend. While aesthetically very impressive, I found the cake itself to be a bit underwhelming tastewise. I personally prefer cakes with less frosting and more sponge cake, which is why I didn't love this dessert. I did really like the sticky toffee filling but just wish there was more of it! Given all the hype behind the corn cake and its extravagant price ($18), I was expecting to be blown away but left feeling a bit unsatisfied. I would still recommend checking out Lysee at least once for the experience- they have many aesthetic desserts and the service was excellent! read more

I've been eyeing this place for a while. So glad I finally made it during open hours! Definitely will be back to try more. Lysee - 5/5 so beautiful and I liked it much more than I thought it would. Looks so clean and perfect, almost like it would taste bland but it's very full of flavor and taste, the texture inside compared to outside is a big contrast and makes a filling experience to eat. Corn - 4.5/5 also liked much more than I thought I would. A little flavor of corn but mostly sweet. Very cute Petit Jardín - 4/5 was good, like a standard tart. Very neat presentation. A little on the sour side but a nice difference from the other sweeter ones Pear tart - 3/5 was a bit disappointed with this one given all the good ratings. I love Korean pear but I feel like the tart didn't do it justice. Hard to describe, I would have rather just had a tart or just the pear read more

I was so excited to try the cute desserts at Lysée, and was happy to see that there was no wait around 4pm on a Thursday when I went with my friends. I loved seeing how the desserts were beautifully displayed on the second floor of this cafe. When we went, there was no more waiter service and it was self-serve. We got the pastries in boxes and took them downstairs to dine-in. Out of the desserts we tried, the Flatiron was voted the best amongst all of us. It was perfectly flakey and slightly creamy. The V.I.C. was a great dark chocolate dessert, and it was not too sweet. The teddy bear duo is cute but the taste was alright. For three sweets and drinks, it came out to $78, which is a bit pricey.

The team behind Lysee definitely intends to build a unique, high-end dessert experience here: with an outright display of the dessert offering, it's not an omakase style like Chikalicious; meanwhile it differentiates from Dominique Ansel Workshop that it draws visitors' attention to every single piece as edible artwork, in what seems like a palatable exhibition. Yeap, as suggested by its slogan, Lysee does have a gallery of the chef's offering on the upper floor of this two-story establishment. We came during the grand opening on June 28 but of course there was already a moderate line waiting to order to go. The dine in on the first floor - walk-in only for now - surprisingly doesn't have a wait. We then sat down for the delicious marble cake, which is also quite pretty in anI understated fashion. I shouldn't neglect to mention the special selection of Korean tea (green, black, and non caffeinated burdock root tea). I'm eager to return to try the specialty drinks such as the seasonal herbed calamari juice, and the signature brown rice. read more
