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.

I spontaneously went here on a night out and may have stumbled across the BEST asian gelato place…read moreever. The flavors I ordered were tiramisu and berries and cream, but there were also a lot of fruit flavors you usually wouldnt see at other stores like lychee, ube and coconut. I didnt order them, but I was able to sample it and they are all so good and strong!! The workers are really nice and patient when customers are picking flavors out. It can get long since its usually 1-2 workers, but its also a gelato place, so I get they wouldnt have so many employees at once. The space itself is small, so expect to find a spot outside to eat but there are benches along the windows.

Great unique flavors!!…read more I got the Kaya Pandan and the pineapple Thai basil which were two of my favorites from the ones I taste tested. They also had Dalgona coffee, Ube, lychee, matcha Kit Kat. All were super solid and I would come back for them! The service was fine - they give 3 free samples per person. The inside is super crowded so not a lot of sitting space and hard to maneuver.

To be fair, the tart shell is super buttery and the filling is velvety in texture, reminiscent of a creme brûlée.... BUT the flavors were just very bland. With the exception of the black sesame that had some black sesame flavor, the ube and matcha tasted pretty much the same. The flavors were simply not bold enough, and the butteriness overpowers everything, including the tang of the cheese. We also got an iced matcha with ube foam (asked for milk base instead of water base) and it was just meh! The matcha was powdery and the ube foam didn't taste like much. The barista also forgot to ask whether I wanted it sweetened so the first sip was quite bitter with little tea flavor. All in all, I had it, I tried it, and will probably not get it again.

The place has been completely redone since then with a brand new interior and still looks fairly new, in addition to being very spacious. The food was excellent too. From previous reviews, it appears most people come here for the ramen, which are about $19 a bowl. My friends and I tried the tonkotsu ramen, shoyu ramen, and a butadon (pork rice bowl). Everything was delicious and flavorful. However, four stars is an accurate assessment. I've had better tasting ramen with a more flavorful broth, and a larger portion with more meat at slightly lower prices. The food is good but not the best either.

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.

My Mrs got me a Black Forest cake from here as a birthday surprise and it was ooooohhhh sooooo freaking delicious!!!! We also got an almond torte for later and I can't decide which I love more. So much for any new year resolution. I can't wait to try something else 3/20/16 So I called up to see if he could do a Lego themed birthday cake for my nephew who's big day was on March 17th. He said sure no problem. Man am I glad I called. Cake was delivered by frenchy himself and it was absolutely amazing!!!!! My nephew and the crowd were stunned!!!! They couldn't believe it! They wanted to start taking off the Lego bricks before the party even started. The cake was a hit! Both aesthetically and taste wise. The cake was moist and there wasn't too much frosting inbetween the layers and the Lego bricks were actually chocolate not fondant!!!! Who else do I know that's having a birthday...? I just want to order stuff to see what else he can create! Thank you Frenchy!!!!! 5/10/16 A friend of mine wanted to get a birthday cake for my Mrs and I since our birthdays are a day apart. It was for a little gathering and I recommended frenchy's to him. Sunday evening we arrived at the venue and there was frenchy setting up our cake! He made this magnificent 3 tiered pillow cake!!!! The bottom was chocolate with a ganache filling, the middle vanilla and cream filling and the top was a fruit cake. Was it wrong to suggest we do the cake first? Probably, but as the birthday girls, we insisted! Each tier tasted just as delicious as it looked! Thank you frenchy for an amazing cake!!!! read more

I tried the Classic Carrot Cake with Nuts & Raisins and the Pineapple Layer Cake. The carrot cake was warmly spiced, dense and packed with flavor in a way that genuinely tastes like it came straight out of someone's grandmother's recipe book. But the Pineapple Layer Cake was the one that really won me over. Incredibly moist with a natural, fragrant pineapple flavor woven through every layer and finished with delicate coconut shavings on top.

There was this one guy who was there ordering a cake for his son's graduation. His son only requested to have Lloyd's carrot cake for his graduation and moving out of the city party. Out of all the bakeries and cakes in NYC, this soon to be college kid wanted Lloyd's...it makes sense. The employees went through all of the different cake sizes as I watched attentively at each cake being presented...I may have been drooling, who knows. I always dream of just buying an entire cake, just me and the cake, but alas, I got a carrot cake slice as well as a carrot cake cupcake and red velvet cupcake. It wasn't just for me...my pastry chef to be son was with me, so it was really nice to share in tasting carrot cake from this legendary bakery. First reaction of the carrot cake slice, it is super moist...and perhaps I could eat an entire cake. We agreed that every aspect of the cake was absolutely delicious. It was light whereas most carrot cakes feel dense, it was perfectly sweet, whereas most carrot cakes are either too sweet or not sweet enough. The frosting complimented the cake wonderfully too, which I love. It was just perfection and each bite made you want to have another. The red velvet cupcake was a winner as well. I made a sandwich of it with the cream cheese frosting in the middle and we were very happy. Seating is nice, the shop is spacious and clean, there are areas to charge. It is a nice set up. I still think the best thing about Lloyd's are the people who work there, but the carrot cake, oh that lovely moist and light, give me a hundred, carrot cake, is a very close second. Ahh, how I would love another slice right at this very moment...
