Tiramisu latte -- soooo good
Constance L.

Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, and of course, delicious drinks. The tiramisu latte was absolutely fantastic, and I love the touch of the ladyfinger on top -- dipped into the latte and whipped cream, it made for a super tasty mini dessert! The cream, once incorporated into the latte, gave the drink the perfect amount of sweetness and a super velvety, luscious mouthfeel. The entire drink was decadent without ever getting too sweet or overwhelming. Interior doesn't have tooo much seating, but the varied set up makes it perfect for a solo outing, catch up with friends, or productive working session. Also shoutout to whoever made the playlist -- right up my alley with the sweet, melancholy pop. Perfect mood for a rainy summer afternoon.

Such a cute and delicious female-owned coffee shop! The interior is so calm and moody, and I would definitely sit in here and work one day. I LOVE their strawberry match latte, and they had a fire chocolate croissant too. I'm pretty picky about matcha, and the two times I ordered their matcha latte, the matcha was really well blended and the drink was very balanced. I will definitely come back and try their other drinks!

Cafe is cozy and tucked away. You will walk in and be greeted with smiles. I saw the sign so I had to get the Tiramisu Matcha 10/10. Croissants are flaky but definitely just focus on their drinks.

Iced Matcha Tiramisu Latte (~$10)

Ordered: Iced Matcha Tiramisu Latte (~$10) Aya's take: My eyes lit up after seeing they had an Iced Matcha Tiramisu Latte and I immediately made my way over. This drink is actually not on the menu but the barista knew what I wanted, and maybe it's because people would be alarmed seeing the cost. It's definitely a creative and indulgent drink that I personally wouldn't get often but I liked that it was rich, creamy, and just slightly bitter from the matcha. The ladyfinger was a nice touch but would've been even better if it was soaked in matcha for added flavor and texture. It's more of a dessert beverage than a typical matcha but good try nonetheless!

A super cute cafe addition to Chelsea! There's a decent amount of seating inside and the tables are perfect for either chatting or working. There's free wifi, outlets, and a bathroom as well. We stopped by on a weekday afternoon and while there were some people chatting, the cafe was pretty quiet and peaceful. There was only one lady working behind the counter when I went, so service could be a bit slow (looks like they're trying to hire). I got the tiramisu latte ($7 but I had to switch to oat milk which came out to $9.25). The cream is thick and sweet, and I like the addition of the ladyfinger on top. I've had a few tiramisu lattes at this point and this one was really solid. Overall love the vibe and love the drinks - would definitely come back!

This place is absolutely amazing and I need everyone to visit. I went for their tiramisu latte and it was utter perfection. They don't add any extra syrups, and the cream on top isn't too sweet, and it settles into the coffee quite nicely, adding a subtle sweetness. The lady finger on top was also such a cute addition. I still can't believe it's only $7. The owner is so sweet and welcoming, and she offered us free scones, which were very light, fluffy, and yummy. The barista is also very nice and knowledgeable about coffee, and gave us a free matcha cream latte (which was also very good). Interior is very cozy and has a minimalistic + chic vibe, love the decor and how the light filters into the coffee shop.

New coffee shop in Chelsea! COFFEE: I got a regular drip coffee ($4.50) that I enjoyed. My boyfriend is a sucker for sugary lattes and he got the Tiramisu latte ($7?). We think it's topped with marshmallow fluff and whipped cream mixture -- it's super thick and sweet. He was a fan, but referred to it as "sugary nonsense" (in a good way). Note that it's iced only, so maybe not the most appropriate for today in the 30s, but the cafe is warm inside! AMBIANCE: A+! Super cute coffee shop aesthetic with modern furniture, open space, and plants. Several tables available and many people on laptops. SERVICE: They were a little slow because I think they are short staffed (a sign on their door says they're hiring), which makes sense because they only just opened. The two women working while I were here were nice. BATHROOM: Clean! Had a good poop experience. OVERALL: Pumped for a cute new coffee shop in my neighborhood! Will be back!

Stopped in while visiting Chelsea, after a walk on the High Line (just a short walk from the high line). The server was friendly and my drink was made quickly. There's plenty of seating, nice comfy chairs and a type of seat for every occasion. The latte was good, kept me fueled through a busy travel day.

Berry croffle

A lot of seating. Very aesthetic decoration! I ordered the tiramisu latte and it was the perfect ratio of sweetness and bitterness. The espresso was not too strong which I loved. The lady finger was the perfect snack with the drink! The croffle was so warm. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Service was also very nice and lovely!

Drip Coffee
Gloria Z.

Extremely beautiful cafe with space to work. It feels like a nice escape from the city. The coffee is delicious (even the drip!) and the cardamom bun was also very good. I love the decorations here and they also advertise art. A nice cozy cafe that feels like a hidden gem for now since it's relatively new and not crowded. I hope it stays peaceful even if it becomes more successful!

Kathy W.

An aesthetic and well-lit place to read, work, or chat! I like that they even set up the space for these different occasions with their furniture. I ordered an herbal tea to read and it felt restful for a Saturday afternoon. Despite the foot traffic, I still found a seat right away. I would definitely come back and try their signature drinks next time.

Tiramisu cold brew

I randomly found this spot while walking to the High Line. Great service, amazing ambiance, and delicious coffee!

Amazing marcha yuzu and tiramisu drink. Lovely interiors, furniture, service, with original art cards and books. Highly recommend !

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.
