I wanted to try something different in Chinatown not the usual egg tarts or Portuguese ones you find at most Chinese bakeries. Pinklady draws inspiration from Japan and offers a unique twist that caught me by surprise. It's a small storefront with just a few chairs, but what they lack in space they make up for in seriously impressive cheese tarts. I'm not usually a fan of cheesecake or anything too cheesy, so I walked in with low expectations... and walked out a fan. The tarts aren't overly sweet, which lets the flavors shine. The ube had a smooth, nutty richness, and the matcha had a mellow, earthy edge without being too bitter. I actually enjoyed them even more after leaving them in the fridge overnight--the crust turned extra crisp, and the texture held up beautifully. I also tried the black sesame tart, which had that deep, roasted flavor I love. The classic was solid and comforting, and the lemon had just the right amount of brightness. I brought the ube cheesecake to my office and paired it with coffee. Everyone devoured it in seconds. It was gone faster than you can say "cheesecake." If you're into trying something different, Pinklady is a quiet gem and a welcome addition to Chinatown. read more

Very delicious streets. We ordered 3 drinks, 3 tarts, a 6 pack of macarons, and 2 ice cream mochi - all for roughly $48 (?). Not bad!!!! Very delicious and flavorful items. Service was quite reasonable given all the items we ordered. Highly recommend the sparkling strawberry lychee drink with lychee boba. They accept both card and cash. read more

Pinklady Cheese Tart - Cute! - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious cheese tarts! I used to work around this area and would come by whenever I needed a sweet treat. The other day I was on a mini food crawl with my sisters and when we walked by I decided they NEEDED to try this. They were as good as I remembered them to be! I used to get them when they were freshly baked since I'd come earlier but on this day they were cold as it was around 6pm. Cold or hot they are delicious either way and so small you will not feel guilty after having this sweet treat :) read more

Cute location/decor. Very small, like most dessert places in this area. The strawberry green tea was great, not too sweet and didn't taste super artificial. The pastries were both really good and well thought out. I love the strawberry jam at the bottom of the strawberry milkshake tart. read more

Pinklady Cheese Tart - Strawberry Green Tea Two Cheese Tarts - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious Japanese cheese tarts. 2 for $6, I opted for ube and matcha to try my first time. Loved the ube one as it really allowed the cheesy flavor of the tart to shine through, whereas the matcha overpowered it a bit more. Both were super tasty, the crust of this tart is light, sweet, and sugar cookie-esque, I absolutely loved it. Can't wait to come back and try their other flavors, as well as their basque cheesecake! read more

Actually only got coffee here, might try a cheese tart if I'm in the area.. coffee was strong. Pretty good with milk and sugar. Small place but didn't have to wait too long.. read more

Small storefront for take-out only. Honestly I'm not the biggest cheese tart fan so I came in with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. There is a $5 minimum for card payments so I opted to get two tarts for $7: ube & matcha. I feel that it is reasonably priced. The tarts aren't too sweet which helps bring out the flavors more. Even after refrigerating overnight, they still tasted good. I would come back to try the other flavors! read more

very nice & light pastry dessert, the filling was perfect and wasn't heavy at all. Fairly priced at $5 each and they had a nice selection of Asian flavors (ube, black sesame, matcha, etc) read more

Picked these up for a party and they were a total hit! Definitely a little pricey but I got 2 extra tarts when I ordered 10 for a little under $40 so I think it was worth it. They have a lot of different flavors and I think they each tasted very distinct but tasty in its own way. My favorites were black sesame and the ube. The filling wasn't overly rich like typical cheesecake and the texture was soft and fluffy. read more

Absolutely loved these cheese tarts! The filling is so creamy and soft while the pastry tart is rich and perfect in thickness. Got the strawberry shortcake and ube flavors to go and it was one of my favorite bites while in NYC. Service was quick and friendly. There's a very small seating area, but I'd recommend getting them to go so you can share them with others too. read more

This was an accidental find... after a quick brunch at Cha Kee... wander pass this tiny shop... and decided to pick up some tarts.... Honestly, deep down I knew no shop in NYC would make as good as the tarts in Osaka (Pablo!)... but this one gave it a good shot. Wasn't mind blowing good... it was decent tho. The ube flavor was very mild... black sesame was ok, the matcha one was good (per the teenager)... would I buy again, probably not... read more

Love their cheese tarts they are all so cute and the flavors are just on point!! For the black sesame it just screams black sesame, you can def taste the matcha. I like how you can mix and match your set. We got a set of 6: Original Matcha (I'm typically a matcha girly but I think I like the other flavors more) Black Sesame Ube Lemon ( I just love lemony desserts) Strawberry Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the flavors. Def check them out, whenever you're in Chinatown! read more

Texture was great, and the ube flavor was truthfully my favorite. The classic was also delicious. Not a fan of the matcha and lemon flavors from the free samples that I tried, but would come back for these two! read more

Tiny little shop. I ordered the plain and Ube, which they have noted as their most popular. It cost $8+ for the 2 (there's a $5 credit card minimum). They are fairly tiny. Not really knowing what to expect of their flavor, I found they taste like cheesecake. The Ube didn't really have a distinguishable flavor though. read more

I am closer to a rating of ;.5 but rounded up because the tarts were even better than I expected. These fluffy little cheese tarts have all the right flavors and textures going for them. I came specifically for the ube flavor but saw a 2 tart special and decided to also get black sesame - and I'm glad I did! Dare I say I may have enjoyed the black sesame a touch more?? The tarts were so fluffy, and the crust balanced it out very well. What I really enjoyed was that they aren't too sweet. The spot is a very small in-and-out, no frills sorta place so I would only do takeout. Solid dessert pickup spot!! read more

Stumbled into Pinklady and how lucky am I to find this place? We were the first ones here in the morning and were a bit worried that the tarts would not be as fresh because they had just opened the doors and it was going to be remnants from the day before but they didn't disappoint whatsoever. - Original - I appreciate how silky the filling is and that the cheese flavor really comes through. Sometimes I feel like cheese tarts can be too heavy on the crust and then it feels like you're just eating a cookie but I did not have a problem with this one at all. - Black Sesame - I love that they have so many unique flavors including this one and it was delicious! I love how both the black sesame flavor and cheese flavor came through. The crust was a bit softer here but still didn't feel overwhelming in comparison to the filling. Definitely one of New York's best kept secrets and will definitely come back again. read more

So I'm just realizing when I hit the capture button, I didn't hit the caption button. So I'm missing pics of the Ube Cheesecake Tart and Ube Burnt Basque Cheesecake. I would give those both solid a high 4 low 5/5. As for the Ube Cold Brew I'd say a low 4/5. Still pretty good. They were friendly and got the stuff out pretty quick. It's a cute little shop but def do not go inside with a big group. There won't be space for you. read more

Pinklady Cheese Tart - UBE Cold Brew - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

Holy moly! These are some of the most delicious things I've ever eaten! Pinklady was just down the street from my hotel and I came here a few times to try different cheese tart flavors. They are heavenly little tarts filled with different fillings that aren't too sweet and just the right size for a sweet snack. The cheese is light, yet creamy and the crust is just dense and buttery enough. The tarts are definitely on the pricier side, but worth it if you're looking for a little treat. read more

I hate to give this a low rating but I wasn't fond of these cheese tarts. I got lemon and blueberry; while the flavors were good and not too sweet, the crust was really hard and dry. There was no wait which was nice and the staff was kind too, but I wouldn't come back ): read more

Came in for a quick water before work, ended up getting a UBE cold brew and a quick original cheese tart. A little treat to myself. Took a bite then, had to get back in line and pick up a 12 pack for my friends at work. And you know what? toss in a Basque cheese cake too. And oh man it didn't last the ride to work, it just was too good. Will come again. read more

This spot is super cute and the options were good but very expensive in my opinion. Ube was definitely my favorite, the flavor was so rich, the inside of the tart had a mousse like consistency & every bite was delicious. The strawberry shortcake was wayy too sweet, it reminded me of strawberry nesquick milk, the original was good but it just tasted like normal cheesecake to me, nothing special and I probably would pass on the lemon and black sesame flavors if I went back. read more

I've been wanting to try this place, and I finally did. I just wanted to try everything! My favorite was the lemon and ube. The lemon kind of reminded me of a lemon meringue. I had high expectations for the black sesame since in most pastries, its flavor is strong. However, in this instance...I don't feel like it was there. Shocking. The strawberry was too artificial for me. The original just tasted like a normal cheesecake. The Matcha was alright. Not a fan, but it was alright. I would come back again, but only for 2 flavors. read more

Delicious cheese tarts in a variety of different flavors that it's hard to just limit yourself to 2 or 3 cause you wanna try them all. The place is a bit small and probably fits 6 customers inside at best so if there's a line, you're most likely waiting outside. Service is relatively quick and they serve you the tarts cold (or room temperature) but there are instructions all over that showcase the different ways to eat them. We ate ours as is at one of the two tables available there. We got the ube, original and black sesame. The flavors were crazy good and rich...not too sweet where you feel like you're eating candy but not too bland where all you taste is emptiness. The crust is not like what you'd expect a typical egg tart to be. Eaten as is, the crust is not soft and flaky but like the bottom crust of a pie...that's most likely where putting these in the oven will elevate these cheese tarts to a whole other level...if you choose to do so. Regardless though these are meant to be enjoyed in several different ways and I thoroughly enjoyed them as they were. I'd return to this place to try out the other flavors and maybe try out a different method to eat them aka warm and crusty. They are pricey at over $3 each so choose wisely if you don't aim to break the bank in one shot. read more

First off, mind blown that these are made very uniformly especially considering how delicate the filling is lol (perfect dome shape!). Pretty presentation for sure. Another thing I like about the tarts is the buttery crust (shortbread-cookie-like). In terms of the not-so-great, the taste of the fillings kinda falls flat. The filling has like a sour cream base taste to it and it pretty much overshadows what, I think, should be the main flavor of the filling (a.k.a. I didn't really taste much of the ube, sesame, or matcha in the respective tarts). I mean, if I look at the tarts as just tarts that have whipped, colored, sour-cream-cheesecakey fillings then they're fine lol. Was expecting something else though. read more

Love this place! Will definitely be back again for lunch. I had this place bookmarked for a week now and we stumbled up this place yesterday and it did not disappoint. Original cheese tart - recommended by our cashier and it was the BEST. Matcha cheese tart - you can definitely taste the matcha :) Sweet strawberry yogurt smoothie - it was perfect. I love it! UPDATE: Took away a star to bring it down to a 4 because after my first visit on a Saturday, I started to come during the weekdays and the smoothies during the weekdays were watery... at first I thought it was just Purple Rice (meh) but then when I reordered sweet strawberry during the weekday and it was also watery... read more

Delightfully delicious cheese tarts with a variety of flavors in the heart of Chinatown. You can get one for $3.20, 6 for $17.90, or even 12 for $32. ORIGINAL CHEESE - This is my favorite and absolute best! Light and creamy and not overly sweet. You can't go wrong with grabbing a couple of these. UBE CHEESE - Amazing ube flavor and still not overly sweet. MATCHA CHEESE - Great matcha flavor again without being overpowering BLACK SESAME CHEESE - A little underwhelming. I did not get the black sesame flavor. ORIGINAL CHEESE WITH BLUEBERRY - Original cheese tart with a dollop of blueberry compote. This was underwhelming as well as the blueberry did nothing for the cheese tart. I would stick with the original cheese. You can enjoy these in 4 ways - hot (filled with oozy molten lava cheese yum), room temp (fluffy cheese mousse), cold (tastes like cheesecake), and reheat in the microwave for the fresh out of the oven. read more

Affordable and tasty cheese tarts! My friend and I split 3 cheese tarts and they made for a great snack. Our favorite was the matcha followed by the ube. The black sesame flavor was a little muted, maybe from being overpowered by the heavy cheese flavor. The store itself is very tiny with only 2 tables. We ate our tarts at a table but it's definitely not a place to linger or hang out. read more

My friends and I went to NYC to pig out and this was one of the places on our list. I'm glad I tried but I don't know if it was my favorite dessert while in the city. The cheese tart filling was light and airy. However, the pastry was a little too hard and dry. I think the dessert would have been more enjoyable if they use a softer pastry. read more

Pinklady Cheese Tart - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

Good place for sweet treats if you are nearby/couple blocks away, nothing to go out of your way for. Location/Ambience: 4/5 : Cute decor and pop/colors: Yellow dominant color palete and oriented for social media posting. It creates an appeal of people just quick drop by, take picture and post and get out and roam. Food: 4/5 : Tarts were good but expectations overshadow it. Selections were good enough. I had strawberry and matcha, nothing to go crazy about. Staff: 5/5 Because of whatever hype or trend or marketing it has, there was a lot of people at the time of visit and the staff were doing pretty well handling the queue and customer inquiries. Price: 4/5: TBH a little pricey for the taste and quantity. Accessibility/Layout 3/5: Its squeezed in between stores. I didn't notice it until I saw the sign cause its bright shining yellow, contrasting the rest of the block of stores. Seating is basically for 5 people in a space of two wingspans wide. People tend to stay inside waiting for their orders so it becomes like the train during rush hour. read more

Small counter and table space inside with DELICIOUS cheese tarts! I split a 6 box order with friends and got the ube cheese tart which was really delicious! Tried the black sesame as well which was the best one, though lemon is also very refreshing. Service was fast and nice. The tarts are $7 for 2, kind of expensive to come back to often, but a great treat! read more

PinkLady Cheese Tart was near the restaurant my friends and I went to lunch. As we passed by before lunch, we made a mental note to go back afterwards. The business is extremely tiny with barely space make an order and two small tables inside and one table outside. The tart case was full when we came during lunch area. They had six flavors to choose from. We went with a box of 4 Cheese Tarts ($11.76). They rang me up and I paid before the placed my cheese tarts in a box. We opted for an ube, cheese cake with blueberry filling, black sesame and matcha. Of all of those I ate the cheese cake with blueberry filling tart. I feel they have you at the cuteness look.The tart crust was a hard shortbread cookie that could have been more soft and crumbly for my liking and the filling was soft and not set. I like a more set baked cheese cake taste over the no bake or barely baked style cheesecake softness. Nice interesting experiment and a cute photo for the memories but I wouldn't really come back for anymore even if I lived nearby. read more

Highly checking out Pinklady Cheese Tart if you enjoy these type of desserts. Little small shop with one small table in the place. There were a few flavors of cheese tart to choose from and I decided to pick the ube and the original with blueberry. Both were delicious, light and flavor wasn't over powering. The crust was perfect and wasn't hard to bite into. Would be nice if Orlando had a place like this! read more
