    The grand opening from a while back
    Glenn C.

    Note- I don't trust the opinions of anyone who toasts bagels, as a toasted bagel is bread in the shape of a bagel. Sorry, but not sorry for being a bagel snob. In the sea of terrible bagels around this part of Midtown East, outside of the decent enough but pricey Ess-A, this new bagel place is a little bit of heaven, or should I say Utopia. All terrible jokes aside, this is a very tasty bagel place with good prices. The plain bagels are $2, which beats Ess-A by a lot. It's also my preference, being soft and chewy on the inside while having a good crust on the outside, without being too hard. The best sign for a good bagel, IMO, is that even a slightly cool bagel is still good quality, and even a bagel I got here that wasn't warm was still tasty. They put plenty of cream cheese, and it was decently enough priced at $4.50. This is also the first cinnamon raisin bagel I have had since Best Bagel further south in Midtown West, which tastes primarily of raisin and not cinnamon, which is my definite preference. The sesame is also great. I haven't tried their other sandwiches, but I'll go back here again when I am in the mood.

    Like some other NYC bagel companies, Utopia is still growing its footprint in NY. A Midtown East (Third Avenue) location recently opened, and it's taking up some large real estate, possibly in anticipation of large crowds like Ess-a-Bagel gets from locals and tourists. They also bake on premises which takes a lot of space. I'll admit, when Utopia opened a location on 34/Lex, it took me a couple of visits before I became a fan! Sometimes their bagels are on the smaller size but they always have great crunch and taste. I usually order pretty simply, with cream cheese (or flavored cream cheese), but their breakfast sandwiches like the Cheech (sausage, egg, cheese, hash brown & avocado) or The Scotty (nova, white fist, tomato onion capers) are on my radar. Congrats to the team on another opening!

    Brand new to midtown east! Been waiting for this to open for like an entire year and they finally opened last week or so. Huge lunch menu was nice to see. Got a quick toasted garlic bagel with low fat scallion cream cheese today for to-go and it was fabulous. Inside the store was immaculate, clean and very spacious. Staff was nice and seemed to have everything in order. Will be back to try a sandwich for lunch but overall a great addition to the neighborhood!

    I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

    This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

    I believe Seoul Sweets is currently the only spot in NYC specializing in ssal cakes (korean rice…read moreflour cake), and I love how light and not too sweet it is. Made with rice flour and egg whites, it is so airy, and literally feels like cutting through a cloud. Plus, it's gluten-free! A perfect little cake for a small celebration They also make the prettiest korean dessert sets, alongside bingsu, dubai chewy cookies, and einspanner. They're seriously always keeping up with the trends! *Black Sesame Ssal Cake $16.5 ** My top pick. The black sesame layer on top was the richest. Super nutty without being too heavy. The sponge and cream cheese had a subtle black sesame flavor. It reminded me of the cream in their black sesame einspanner. *Mugwort Ssal Cake $16.5 * This one was surprisingly rich. The mugwort had a strong earthy, herby flavor, while the plain cream cheese layer helped cut through the richness. *Mango Ssal Cake $16.5 This was a bit of a miss to me as there wasn't any mango-flavored sponge or mango puree inside. It was just a plain rice flour cake with a few slices of fresh mango on top. Though I could really taste the mild, clean rice flavor in this one. *Da-On Sang Set $26 ** A must-order if it's your first time here! The mochi was super soft, and the strawberry was so ripe and sweet. The yak-gwa and joo-ak were chewy, sticky, and just sweet enough, especially paired with the tea that came with the set. *Black Sesame Einspanner $8.5 *Mugwort Einspanner $8.5 The cream was lighter compared to other einspanners I've had. The mugwort one was bursting with earthy flavor. Definitely try it if you're a mugwort fan. The black sesame was alright. I personally wish it was a little richer.

    This review is based on a takeout order…read more Was gifted a box of desserts from here and they were so delish! The box had juak, yakgwa, and injeolmi. All of them tasted authentic (I'm Korean) and well executed. Also tried the black sesame cake which was amazing. The desserts here reminded me of rice cake bakeries/cafes in Korea so it's pretty legit. Sad I haven't made it to their store yet but it looks beautiful based on pictures. I'd love to go try their desserts in store one day!
