Chai latte and yuzu matcha tonic
Michelle S.

Meh. Milk and cinnamon action. Cashier must've been having a bad day or sumn but I felt a Mr. Debby downer vibe. Pls don't do that around my whimsyyyy

Tiramisu Matcha
Oscar L.

Got the tiramisu matcha latte and it was a bit too sweet and creamy. Service was pretty good. The vibes inside are fantastic and definitely a great spot to study or do some work.

Came here with a run club and even though we weren't as large of a group, because the cafe is quite intimate / small, it was very evident we took up the majority of the space. I've seen that their Tiramisu Latte is popular, so I ordered that with oat milk and a cardamom bun on the side. The drink itself was a dessert - a ladyfinger dangling over the cup with cream on the bottom, the cup was primarily ice which was my main source of disappointment. The cardamom bun reminded me of LaCabra, so that lifted my mood a bit. I'd be back to try their other cafe drinks, but would caution the Tiramisu Latte isn't an ideal drink for the morning.

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!

Iced Matcha Tiramisu Latte (~$10)
Aya E.

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!

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.

Went to try the matcha tiramisu and it was very good and creamy!! Just love the cream on top with the ladyfinger so delicious!!

Friendly and quick service! I came here 2 days in a row and found them to be a great local cafe. The strawberry matcha was superior to the tiramisu matcha but both were delicious.

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.

We had thLychee martinis & Dreams of Amalfi Hazelnut bar, crème brûlée (we topped itwith melted chocolate from the cheesecake), and Dubai chocolate cheesecake On the pricier side, but worth it for the ambiance, service, and flavors.

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.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.
