    When you have a special spot near home it's hard to share. This cozy cafe has so much decadent deserts I want to visit every day. The employees are patient with my taking photos and asking questions all the time. There is a small comfortable counter. Very small!! A table in the back. Narrow space getting in and out. It's best to go early or take out. They are open seven days a week from 6am to 9:30 pm. Hard working business. You can order cakes or select one on the spot. They have cupcakes, cookies, cannoli, cheesecake. I thought I died and went to heaven... Check out my photos and their web site. If you're up early you may run in to me some morning. I admit I haven't made a special cake order. I would forget the negative reviews and try for yourself. It's all good to me! M

    I come to this bakery every morning to get my usual coffee and toasted buttered bread or bacon egg and cheese. Everything tastes delicious. The service is alright. They're really busy in the morning so the wait is a bit long at times. The only thing that irks me is that one of the employees/server ALWAYS messes up my order. I get it, it's busy, you have a lot of orders to get to.. but it's every time. I call in advance so when I arrive I'll just have to pick up my order and be on the go. I hate having to wait for my order to be done all over again. Or the fact that it was never being started on to begin with.

    Exceptional service and great prices at this East Harlem gem! Got a custom cake for my brother's birthday in 48 hours (I did give them more notice). Long story short the cake was a huge hit! Exactly how I wanted. The best part it was moist and delicious (we chose vanilla buttercream!)

    Tres Leche sweet 16 cake My daughter and all  LOVED our cake.  Just need to remind them /the Leche to pour on the servings.

    Best cake tres leche All flavors I have ordered Custard Vanilla butter cream And the chocolate cake

    Pineapple cake

    Everything look deliciously fresh, however the coffee and pineapple cake were slightly stale. I did go there late, but it is still no excuse for anything being stale. I bought a few items but only remembered to take picture of the. The 3 leches cake tasted pretty good, but it's kind of hard to mess up when it's soaking in sweat sweet milk. It's is quite conveniently close to Mt Sinai Hospital, so its worth stopping in if visiting someone.

    Oreo cake.

    3.5 I guess.... The cakes are a hit or miss...the first cake I bought, it was excellent. The 2nd cake I bought..it was kind of dry, like if it was over baked... Also their cake selection varies...I was hoping to pick up an 8" Oreo cake but there were none available. I guess I should have ordered it. Also, if you order it, it's a little more expensive...(just 3$ more for the 8") The workers do take their time working...

    OMG!!!! They met all of my expectations and they blew my mind with this beautiful, gorgeous cake!!!! Thank YOU a million times!!! First time ordering a cake from this bakery and I first read all of the yelp reviews & I am NOT disappointed with my cake. The staff was very friendly and patient with me when I went in to order the cake. The cake was very DELICIOUS and not overly sweet. All of my guests complimented my cake and loved it! Will continue to order my cakes here for future special occasions.

    This bakery ruined my daughter's Sweet Sixteen by messing up her cake. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!

    After my last post I decided to stop by the bakery in the hopes of finding the manager. He wasn't there, as usual, but I was greeted by Alicia who after hearing what happened to me and noticing how upset I was, gave me a credit for half the price of the cake. It didn't make up for the frustration and aggravation, but all I wanted was for them to make it right and, because their cakes are so fresh and flavorful, I accepted the credit. Problem solved.

    Cute little spot to grab an espresso and a fresh cannoli or slice of cheesecake. Great addition to the neighborhood! Also, breakfast until 3pm with fruit smoothies and pancakes... So delicious!

    A pinch of blue food coloring.

    I was looking for an inexpensive tiramisu cake for my sister's birthday and I found this bakery shop, which is called Bakery on 3rd. When I went inside, the place looks like a bit empty, but it needs to have that typical bakery shop quality. there are less selections of pastries in this bakery shop like cookies, slices of chocolate carrot, and red velvet cakes, slices of cheesecakes, Flan, Tres Leches, and pudding. However, They don't have Cannoli and it saids Cannoli on the chalkboard menu, WTH!!. Then, their cakes, it looks like they tried so hard to have that Cake Boss type, but it's too amateurish in my POV. I was looking for a tiramisu cake, but they don't have that. Wha wha whaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!. It only haves chocolate, vanilla, pineapple, and red velvet. This bakery shop is ok but it's not like Maison Kayser and Martha's bakery. It has poor selections of pastries and their cakes look messed up even the ambient of this bakery shop haves less character.

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

    Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

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.

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.
