Could it be that there is another location in New York City? Yes!! There is! I was on my way to Hey Tea when I discovered that this beautiful bakery that rooted and bloomed in the Flat Iron District opened another location. I went around the middle of the afternoon and every single table was occupied. I looked at the display of gorgeous and beautifully thought out pastries and decided to get the mushroom and cheese pastry. It was absolutely delicious. Baked and beautiful layers with a crispy exterior and an airy soft interior filled with cooked mushrooms and topped with a crispy cheese, this croissant filled me up for hours to come. I wanted to get a lot more things, but I only got one this time around. They are well known for the beautiful realistic, fruit desserts. They look like actual fruits until you cut them up. While the prices are high for such small items, the prices they ask for are well deserved due to the quality and time dedicated to making the art. From what many friends have told me they are all delicious. There is also a wonderful menu of drinks featuring ones like black sesame latte and matcha lattes. I will be back to try them all! read more

This place was so yummy! My boyfriend took me here as a surprise right after Robert... and omg so good! So good, that we ordered an additional time to try out the other options. We started off with the mango and mushroom and both were very delightful and not overly sweet! You can taste the delicious fruits in them and it was very fun to crack the shells. The second time, my boyfriend chose a yuzu, cloud, and pumpkin. All were so delicious and taste as described. I would say, as a chocolate fein, I especially enjoyed the cloud. Perfect combination of chocolate mousse and hazelnut. Definitely give this place a try! Highly recommend. Service was speedy and helpful. read more

There's a lot of these fancy dessert shops that blow up thanks to social media, but this spot is the real deal. The craftsmanship behind the dessert itself is phenomenal and the dessert itself tastes incredible. Once they sell out, they're done for the day, so you know they make fresh batches the day of and not from the day before. Each dessert is about $10 a pop give or take. I have so far tried the Mango and the Yuzu. Looking forward to trying out the other dessert options in the future. read more

Came here because my kids wanted to try the viral fruit pastries. There was a line on a Wednesday evening that took 20 minutes to get through. We got a cloud, mango, banana, and coconut. The mango and cloud pastries tasted the best. The mango one cost $11.95 though. They are not that big and pretty delicate, but do look cool. Some seating inside, but crowded. read more

I wanna say the desserts were very delicious. About the strawberry tart, the strawberries were fresh and sweet, the custard beneath was rich and sweet, the pastry was flaky and buttery. There was decent crispness but it had a feel that suggested it had been sitting on the counter for a while. The mouse was creamy and rich too. Not much of a passion fruit fan but it was pretty good. The experience was alright. Place was a bit chilly, table was a bit dirty, coffee was served 10 mins later than everything else. This place uses a fast casual approach to dining which I can appreciate but the overall experience was alright. read more

My wife went to the restroom and left me unattended with her tart brulee. This was like the girl who leaves their German shepherd alone with an entire cooked turkey on camera to see what happens....the girls got a mango and a cloud. The mango was a thing of beauty to behold. After a bold leap of faith to cut into it, it was cold and tangy and scrumptious. The cloud was devoured within 2" and by report was "really good, tastes like a Ferrero rocher!" The tart brûlée top fractured like shattered plate glass. The first bite was surprising with a pineapple and mango crunch. Delicious. read more

I came here on a weekend afternoon. I waited about 15 minutes to order and then another 5 minutes to get the pastry. There's seating for about 20 people inside, but it's pretty crowded and chaotic. The tables are very small. I personally would not eat in the crowded location. I walked 20 city blocks with the pastries, and the packaging was such that they traveled perfectly. All the pastries look beautiful. I was unsure if they would taste as good as they look, but they honestly did. They were very well-made. read more

I stopped by this location for the first time and was honestly so impressed. The space is super clean and the vibe just feels right -- calm, welcoming, and put together. You can tell the management and staff care about the details! I tried the Oats Black Sesame Cake, Strawberry Cake, and Tiramisu. If I had to rank them by sweetness... 1) Tiramisu (sweetest) 2) Strawberry 3) Oats Black Sesame None of them were too much at all. Everything was nicely balanced and flavorful. It really just comes down to personal preference. My order was for a special occasion, so I had a lot of questions/requests (probably more than most customers ), and SCOTT was incredibly patient and kind the entire time. It was early on a Saturday morning, and he still took his time with me and answered everything without making me feel rushed. That meant a lot. He was respectful, helpful, and just genuinely pleasant to talk to. Great looking desserts will bring people in the first time, but great tasting desserts with impeccable service like that makes you want to go back! I'll definitely be returning! THANK YOU! read more

Had to try this popular shop and the selection of pastries and cakes were definitely so appealing. The lines were long but moved fast. I tried their cloud cake which was delicious, such a soft chocolate mousse with a nutty filling center and cake bottom for around $10. The major con of this place is service. At first glance the server seemed really tired and misunderstand of the cake we wanted, to go or take out, receipt needed etc even though all of it was already clarified they still mixed it up which was weird but understandable. However, the service is also so slow, had to wait nearly 30 minutes for them to put a small cake in a box which was absurd, the cake was right there. They also ignore customers when I asked the status. They even eventually skipped my order number moving onto others and turns out they got the number wrong , not sure how, but our order was the box sitting right there that they called the wrong number for and skipped over. All of which I haven't experienced at any other place before, perhaps an off day for them. Would still come back maybe to try something else though! All seems delicious! read more

The fruit shaped dessert wasn't bad but you pretty much have to eat it when you get it. If you're traveling with them, they're not sturdy at all. By the time I got them home, 30 mins or so, the dessert half melted and was destroyed. Tasted fine but familiar; I wasn't blown away. And the fact that it broke and the contents melted out took away from the experience. Especially for $12 a dessert, they are pretty small (think the size of a standard pill bottle- and some are smaller than that but the same price). read more

It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped.

Salswee is such a beautiful bakery with a modern, elegant atmosphere. The pastry display alone is enough to make you stop and stare, everything is beautifully crafted and almost too pretty to eat. They have an impressive variety of pastries, cakes, and fruit-shaped desserts that look like little works of art. We got peach, yuzo and the one I can't wait to try... Mango!! We also got a coffee on the side to take the experience to the next level. Lol The staffs were friendly and patient while we decided what to order, and the bakery was clean and well-organized. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, (reason why only 4 stars) the quality, presentation, and overall experience make it worth treating yourself once in a while.

If you're a fan of beautifully made pastries, specialty desserts, or just want a café that's perfect for photos and a sweet treat, Salswee is definitely worth a visit.

So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk.

The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi.

So Caprese sandwich, cherry pastry and seltzer water for under 20 in the city? Great value imo Thinking of the br is the year of terminator and the year of xmen series ending.

The coffee was honestly very disappointing. It tasted artificial and, to me, almost like dirty dishwater. I really couldn't finish it. The pastries and desserts looked beautiful, and the ambiance is definitely lovely, but for the price and reputation, I expected much better quality--especially when it comes to the coffee. Hopefully, it was just an off day, but based on my experience, I wouldn't rush back.

Incredibly friendly staff and awesome selection. We got a few things. It was not crowded when we…read morewent in - around 9pm on a Saturday. So very quiet atmosphere. No line. The "funky" chocolate croissant was amazing. As was the chocolate cake. The chocolate chip cookie made it 3 for 3! Highly recommend!!

Everything here looks amazing and taste awesome. The croissant rolls were buttery, soft on the inside with the right amount of crisp on the outside. So many selections to choose from. I will definitely go back for more. A clean cafe with friendly staff also made the visit enjoyable.

My favorite part was the matcha ice cream, which was exceptional in taste. Next time, I'll definitely just get the matcha ice cream in a cone or cup by itself.

4/5 Matcha soft serve latte $8ish- matcha latte itself is excellent, really good quality matcha,…read moreonly thing I didn't like is the soft serve is vanilla since it flavors down the matcha & makes it too sweet, wish the soft serve was matcha as well 5/5 yuzu black tea frappe $9.68- amazing, really good yuzu flavor & scent, love anything citrus, yuzu is def 1 of my fave citruses, just wish it was less sweet but great nonetheless 4/5 matcha gateau chocolate parfait $15.70- the pudding contains gelatin, so they gave me vanilla ice cream instead, wish they'd given me more matcha ice cream instead cuz the vanilla is too sweet & undermines the matcha on the bottom, also another cake layer in between wuda been great, the matcha cake is really good

Decided to finally try these cheese tarts and I wanted to like them a lot more than I do. We walked…read moreout with a box of 3 - black sesame, matcha, and an ube. To be fair, the tart shell is super buttery and the filling is velvety in texture, reminiscent of a creme brûlée.... BUT the flavors were just very bland. With the exception of the black sesame that had some black sesame flavor, the ube and matcha tasted pretty much the same. The flavors were simply not bold enough, and the butteriness overpowers everything, including the tang of the cheese. We also got an iced matcha with ube foam (asked for milk base instead of water base) and it was just meh! The matcha was powdery and the ube foam didn't taste like much. The barista also forgot to ask whether I wanted it sweetened so the first sip was quite bitter with little tea flavor. All in all, I had it, I tried it, and will probably not get it again.

Fluffy Fluffy…read more Japenese Souffle Pancakes Fluffy Fluffy Cafe & Bar in NYC is a popular brunch spot known for its signature Japanese soufflé pancakes, which are light, jiggelly, served with fresh fruit and cream. Besides pancakes, the menu features American and Japanese brunch items like croffles, croissant-waffles, eggs benedict, and breakfast sandwiches. The cafe offers a modern and photo-friendly place for your Instagram or Facebook post, making it both for sweet and savory cravings. This is about is close to what you can find in Japan, in fact, I believe there is a Fluffy Fluffy in Tokyo that we walked to in the rain and closed early

While it was still large, you can see in the photo it's rather deflated. And not warm. I'm sure they make it fresh at some point though, and I'm sure it's much better then. This is okay if you've never had a Japanese-style pancake before, but if you've had one before, I'd recommend other places instead.

So good! Who knew?…read more From the moment we walked in the staff behind the counter was incredibly friendly and polite. It was 105 outside and we just needed to have a cool drink. Well, $40 later... The menu is original, the creamy drinks with coffee are spectacular, seriously. Just delicious. And the waffle/croissant (croffle) was honestly out of this world. Sweet, flaky, and with a tiramisu topping I almost lost my mind. Thank goodness the portions are on the smaller side, otherwise, you're in 2k calories easy! Anywho, don't wait until it's 105 heat, go anytime. You'll enjoy it.

If you're after a cutesy retro cafe vibe, this is it…read more Gogojang cafe is in midtown close ish to moma so I decided to stop by before heading there to cool down with a beverage and a snack. I was a bit cautious because if you do the decor wrong the vibe could come off tacky and the food and drinks mediocre but they delivered. Decor was on point with kitschy girly pop vibes and great for photos. They even sold some retro snacks which went with their name which means roller skating cafe in Korean. Service is pretty minimal and ordering can be a bit confusing since they both seemed to take kiosk and counter orders. No clear signage but I guess you figure it out soon enough. I ordered a yuzu matcha, butter tteok, and a box of retro caramel (good but didn't count it towards my review since it's not store made) The drink was refreshing and citrusy with the right amount of sweetness. I loved that the butter tteok came warm with a combo of original and chocolate flavors in cute heart shell shapes. I was too excited to try them and forgot to get pictures (oops!) but guess that's a testament that they were good. Overall, would recommend!
