Là Lá Bakeshop

Let's start with the durian coffee. Oh my god... perfectly sweet and so delicious. Really good and strong coffee.The durian cake gave me a foodgasm. Not sure if it's perfectly sweet or it's so light that it mask the sweetness. Without being said, leave me alone so i can finish this cake. And then come back the next day to get another one.

I shared the Coconut Pandan Sticky Rice Cake and it was delicious! The cake had a bunch of layers which gave nice textures. The Pandan flavoring was subtle but the perfect amount to taste throughout the dessert!$15.79 is a hefty price for one mini cake but I think it's worth trying at least once!

5/5 Pandan Sticky Rice Tiramisu -- absolutely lived up to the hype! The pandan flavor was perfectly subtly floral with vanilla notes, sticky rice had a great chew, cream layer was ideal, not too sweet silky smooth! Highly recommend!We also got a latte (not pictured) -- impressed with that as well! Well balanced, aromatic, strong and smooth.Note there is only a small bench and two small tables in terms of seating. We came very late on a weeknight, and they were sold out of many other roll cakes we wanted to try but will definitely return!

They have such unique asian flavored desserts here. I love the modern twist on all their desserts. I do have to point out that this place is tiny so don't expect to find a spot to sit to enjoy your dessert. It is definitely and to go spot. We got lucky and found a little spot in the store to enjoy our desserts, but we had a hard time eating it since we were so cramped. It's okay though because we ended up getting a big order to take back to our hotel! My favorite thing I tried was the pandan sticky rice. The pandan flavor was strong and it had a delicious sticky rice at the bottom of the dessert. Every bite was perfect!

Ooh La La this bakeshop and coffee shop is so delicious! With Asian inspired lava buns and drinks, you have to come by here if you're looking for something unique. I had the garlic cream cheese bun which was a little on the sweeter side but it was a nice treat paired with my pandan coffee. The coffee here is strong but so delicious.

New favorite bakery in the East Village.Their sticky rice cake desserts are delicious but my favorite is their durian cake. They don't shy away from the durian flavor and like many Asian bakeries, I didn't find it too sweet. Additionally, their durian latte is also one of the best I had in NY.The buns are not my favorite though. I also find that their salted egg flavors weren't as salted enough.

If you're a fan of unique and bold flavors, this Asian-inspired cafe and dessert spot is a must-visit! Their cakes and cream puffs are anything but ordinary, with an array of flavors that are both inventive and satisfying. As someone who loves pandan, I can confidently say their coconut pandan cake is absolutely divine. The pandan coffee is also a treat for anyone who appreciates that signature, aromatic flavor. Clearly, I'm all about the pandan, and this place really nails it!I did try the pistachio cream puff as well, and while it was good, it didn't quite wow me in the same way as the pandan cake. It's still a solid choice, but not as exciting as some of the other flavors on the menu. Their best seller also seems to be anything salted egg yolk, so if that's something that you like, there are many offerings that contain salted egg.The staff is friendly and efficient, making the experience all the more enjoyable. One thing to keep in mind is the tight space as seating is limited, so you'll want to plan ahead or be ready to take your treats to go. If you're into trying something new and flavorful, this place is definitely worth checking out!

My friend found this spot and bought so many things to try! We got the matcha lava bun, creme brulee lava bun, salted egg lava bun. For mini cakes, we got the pistachio, tiramisu, matcha, durian. I was very impressed by everything! For the lava buns, how did they even make it so soft and fluffy?!? I was amazed after my first bite into it. My favorite was the matcha for sure. As for the creme brulee and salted egg, I've actually never been a fan of both things but I was curious about how it would taste in the lava buns. But anyways still don't like them. The mini cakes. Loved every single one that we ordered. I can eat it everyday! Prefect texture and perfect taste. Flavor is prominent so you know what you are eating, but not over powering. Not too sweet. And super soft.

A super cute bakery! There's not much seating, just a small bench in the front corner and two tables, maybe fits 4-5 people? Delicious coffee and bakery! I asked the cashier and it's a chain from Vietnam! The coffee is very strong Vietnamese coffee and with the Pandan cream foam, super flavorful cream!I got the coconut Pandan sticky rice and holy- it's has such flavorful coconut cream and the sticky rice was so flavorful! It is pretty pricey, $16 for it but shared between two people it's very filling and worth it :)

My friends and I were thinking to meet at 10AM for this store's grand opening on Sunday. We both got there 15 minutes earlier and another customer joined us 1 minute later. We watched the employees set up the display case as they got ready to open for the day. One of the employees gave us a small cup of hot tea to keep us warm.It would have been easier if a menu was available online or paper or screen so we could have pre-selected the item we wanted. This would have been easier for the employees and us so we didn't have so much pressure knowing there was a long line behind us. I ordered:Scallion Sausage Bun - savory - this was my favorite. Butter Garlic Cream Cheese Bun - loved the garlic flavored.Matcha Bun - definitely has a lot of matcha flavor. Taro, Pistacho, Salty Egg Bun - which were good. Coconut Pandan Sticky Rice - the toasted coconut flakes on top enhanced the layers of cake and sticky rice cream.Tiramisu - was on point with the strong Vietnamese coffee.Coffees: Traditional Vietnamese Coffee and Coconut Coffee were strong, which was good.Think we tried too many creamy items that we are creamed out by the end of the meal. Go try for yourself.
