    earl grey chestnut tiramisu
    Ashlee L.

    This was a nice wfh cafe in East Village! They have tables and wifi and it was really clean inside. I think they specialize in tiramisu because they had sooo many flavors of it and some were pretty unique too. I tried a slice of their earl grey chestnut, and it was really yummy! The earl grey flavor was strong, but I couldn't really taste the chestnut that well. Not complaining though because the tea flavored tiramisu was amazing. Slice is HUGEE, perfect for sharing. Just a little bit too sweet for me personally.

    The cutest cafe with amazing decor and ambiance, so aesthetic. The cakes were such a unique idea and flavor I wanted to try them all. Got the peach lychee cake which although the lychee tasted quite bad/unfresh, the cake tasted amazing with good light subtle flavor and creaminess and freshness. The pistachio berry cake was likewise amazing although more berry than pistachio flavor. The mango pomelo $10 was a hit for my friend who loved mango as there were mango fibers in it. The pink guava milk tea $7 had lots of tiny guava pieces which wasn't desired by me or my friend but the drink did grow on us. Overall it was good but not the place we'd likely come back as it does run a bit pricey/not as worth/lived than some other places I'd frequent. Also, the service was quite slow and server looked like she genuinely hated her job/life which wasn't too pleasant to witness/be served by.

    This cafe was a pretty nice spot to sit and chat while enjoying some tiramisu cakes with Asian flavors. Ordering was done by the giant tablet by their register or you can find a table and order via QR code. They even bring the dishes straight to your table which is pretty nice. The menu consists mostly of tiramisu cakes and other desserts but they also serve savory dishes like pasta and snacks (french fries, Japanese street food). We tried only 2 cakes because they were quite pricey at $15 per slice. The taro tiramisu. The mango tiramisu was my favorite because of how well the mango flavor paired with the sweet cream and the lady finger layers. The mango on top wasn't too sweet since it's not mango season right now. The taro tiramisu had the taro flavor concentrated in the bottom mochi layer so that the flavor wouldn't be too overwhelming. One piece is enough to share since it's quite a big piece but if you've got a sweet tooth, one piece is the perfect portion.

    Love this concept. Was in the city for a few days, and this was on my list of places to go. Sadly, I was running behind and didn't have time to sit in the restaurant and enjoy, so got two pieces to go. The Mango Passionfruit and Peach Lychee. Both were amazing and the Lychee was my favorite. I will say, these travel OK on a plane...but would probably be best at the location or eaten shortly after. Both were light and flavorful and I'm sad I live soooo far that I can't go back to try other flavors. The restaurant was quaint with several seating areas and the display case nicely showed all the options. If you're looking for a unique delicious dessert, try this place!

    I saw this cafe near union square and decided to stop by. The place looks very nice and it was quiet. Some people were there on their laptop to do some work. This place has different tiramisu and I got the strawberry one and also the salted caramel tiramisu. The salted caramel tiramisu was my favorite. I also got fried chicken and rice. They give a generous portion for the food and I was able to share with my friend. The food was delicious. Its a nice cafe and plan to go back there.

    Mango passion fruit and peach lychee
    Maris C.

    We ordered takeout and got the mango passion fruit and peach lychee tiramisu. Both flavors were lacking a bit as I couldn't taste the distinct flavor of the passion fruit or peach. But there were real mango and lychee pieces which I liked. The tiramisu was creamy, soft and moist. Overall I enjoyed it but don't think it's worth $15 a piece. A great way to treat yourself which is what I did to celebrate the end of school forever. The ambience and decor of the cafe was cute and a nice place for a girls outing. When you walk in you can order from the kiosk at the front and can see the display of all the varieties. It was hard to choose as I would have been interested in trying all of the fruity and Asian flavors.

    I been waiting to try this place since my last visit in NY. Finally, i got the chance to try it but a little disappointed even the tiramisu are beautifully presented. I ordered the peach lychee and sesame soybean. I expected to be less sweet since it was Asian inspired, They used sponge cake inside, it was soft but a little dried. It doesn't worth it, it cost $32 not including tips.

    MANGO STICKY RICE TIRAMISU - $13.95
    Tu-Anh N.

    WHEN: Sun @4:30pm Met up with friends and wanted some sweets since we all had just had lunch. Although this place appeared busy, we lucked out with 2 tables that seated 2, pushing it next to each other. With the QR code provided at the tables, you place your orders with your phone, and within 10 minutes, they bring out your order! Here's what I had: PEACH LYCHEE TIRAMISU - $13.95 I think they ran out of peach because all I saw was lychee, which was still all pretty good! Though I woul not call this tiramisu since the caked part (ladyfingers) doesn't seem to be dipped in espresso. So it was like having a very light and creamy cake that was not too sweet, but still very delicious! MANGO STICKY RICE TIRAMISU - $13.95 My friend ordered this and I was able to have a taste and it was pretty good! The cake part was green, and you actually taste the sticky rice flavor. They used fresh mango chunks and a mango sauce--overall yummy! Sure, it is a bit on the pricier side, but it was a nice break from being out in the rain. I enjoyed everything I ate here.

    Pandan coconut. Mango sticky. Dubai Chocolate.
    Jenn H.

    This place is cute. I like the interior although it was cold inside. I love that they specialize in tiramisu and that they have so many different types to offer. I went with my friends and we all ordered something different. The pandan coconut one was my favorite - very light and fluffy (it's also the one I ordered lol). The mango sticky was ok, and the Dubai chocolate was my least favorite. The matcha latte was very good too. Not overly matcha'd which was nice. You order from the QR code at the table and they serve to the table if you decide to stay. Very easy. Very simple. Overall this place was nice. I might go back again for the matcha, but not for tiramisu. It wasn't worth going back to be honest but it was a cute novelty for the moment.

    Coconut pandan tiramisu
    Chris P.

    My coworkers and I decided to try the tiramisu Cafe after our happy hour meal at Marufuku Ramen. Service was quick and ambiance was bright and welcoming. There were a variety of tiramisus to choose from. I tried the coconut pandan and the portion was generous yet too sweet where I could not finish it. I also got the fruit tea which was pricey but necessary to counter the sweet heaviness of the dessert. Definitely worth trying once. I'd go back with a group. It would be great if they sell a sampler pack of all their flavors, great for potluck.

    Matcha Coconut Cloud
    Miranda M.

    I just happen to be in the neighborhood and craving a Matcha so I decided to check this place out. It's honestly so cute and I am so excited to have found this little café! You order at the counter either with the barista or you can order ahead or on a screen. You'll find that there are many tiramisu options as that's their specialty, however, they also have different lattes, teas and even savory things to eat such as spaghetti. I did not really understand what was in the Matcha drinks, but decided to order an iced coconut cloud Matcha. I wish the menu items had descriptions in English below, as I did not realize that this drink would be made with coconut water, but on the bright side it was refreshing! You do have to use your straw to properly mix the Matcha foam at the top into your drink, which ended up making a pretty big mess. There are plenty of places to sit, a restroom, and free Wi-Fi. The staff was also kind as well. I am absolutely going to return here and try one of their tiramisus!!

    This place has cute indoors and ample of seating. I liked the quiet atmosphere and even noticed most people doing quiet activities like studying or reading. Ordering is really easy, you can seat at a table and order desserts and drinks with your phone. However, there is also staff at the counter if you want to order with them. My only disappointment is that they advertise their desserts as "tiramisu" when they are really not. They resemble more sponge cakes than tiramisu because they are not made with ladyfingers (they use cake instead) and I can taste they use heavy whipped cream instead of the traditional tiramisu recipe that uses whipped eggs. I ordered the earl grey "tiramisu" and left most of it because it wasn't to my liking. However, I had a taste of my friend's mango "tiramisu" and that one was more yummy. However, if you like me are searching for flavored tiramisu, maybe try a different bakery for that.

    Food: The tiramisu here was underwhelming. We tried the taro mochi, chestnut, and chocolate. All three didn't taste like anything special. It was simply cake with some cream. There's nothing that made me want to come back to this place. The tiramisu wasn't bad, but for the price of $14 each, I would have expected something a bit more. Service: Service was very average and a bit odd. The cashier told us if we're dining in, we could sit down and order using the QR code on the table. After we sat down, the same staff member come over to our table and told us that we need to order and pay up in front. Ambiance: The cafe itself is very nice and a comfortable place to hang out in. The place is bright and feels cozy. A nice place to enjoy your cake and do some work or hang out with friends! Overall, I wouldn't recommend this cafe, but it's a nice place to hang out in if that's what you're looking for.

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
