    3 cream puffs for $10, milk cream puff is the best! Wow tart is interesting too, softer cream and a bit salty/cheesy like cream cheese flavor pistachio, cookies and cream and ube cream puffs are good to try too! sign up for text with your phone and get $5 off! Pretty good deal :)

    Placed my order using their kiosk machine which was on the sidewalk for their bouncy cheesecake and cream puffs. I was not disappointed! Their cheesecake is light and literally melts in your mouth and their cream puffs are AMAZING! I'll definitely return for their cream puffs. Please note: This place provides efficient service.

    Cream puffs - buy 3 for $10 and save
    Jahnavi U.

    My friends and I were in the mood for dessert after having dinner nearby. I was drawn to this place after I saw that they sold cream puffs. It's pickup only here which was fine. This store is located on 32nd street between 5th and Madison Ave. I took advantage of the 3 for $10 deal and bought ube, pistachio and cookies n cream puffs. They weren't overly sweet which I liked. My favorites were ube and cookies n cream. The Pistachio one was lightly flavored. The service was great. They were fast and helpful. I'm looking forward to going back and buying more. I decibel recommend all to check out this place.

    UBE Cream Puffs
    Josh B.

    This place was so good. It's just a counter. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. They will help you at the window. They have these cream puffs just in the fridge and they are FILLED. The outside is like a nice almost donut like shell that is tastier than typical choux dough. The Ube cream is fantastic. Light, creamy, and filled to the brim. So good

    The cheesecake and cream puffs were delicious. We wanted something not too sweet and not ice cream, these desserts hit the spot. The location is a hole in the wall so you have to pay attention otherwise you'll miss it. You order outside and they will provide the order through the window. It is right next to the ice cream store.

    Bouncy Cheesecake
    April L.

    Wooow, we got the original cheesecake and it was sooo yummy! It was not too sweet (in the best way) and it was also deliciously soft and moist. There was still a nice firmness to the texture of the cake that made it quite a sensation. The cheesecake flavor is quite subtle which I like compared to American cheesecake and it tastes a little eggy as well. I would best describe it as a cross between american cheese cake and Asian sponge cake (both which are yummy and when combined together, is double the yummies) There is not sit down as this is an order-only location. You order through the window and they give you your order very quickly. You also get to see the bakers making all the cheesecakes and different desserts. They had many other things on the menu and I will definitely try to come back to experience other items on the menu.

    Ube Bouncy
    Vivienne C.

    I have not had Japanese bouncy cheesecakes in America so I was very surprised to have found this cake while looking for dessert places in Koreatown. Came right before they closed and they still had some cake options left. The only thing is that they are take-out only so you will need to find some other place to sit. We ordered the Ube Bouncy which is their classic cake but only with ube flavor. I can't say that the ube flavor was particularly prominent, but I really appreciated the consistency of the cake as it was both dense and very light with a lot of moisture which I really appreciate. It reminded me of the cakes you get in Taiwan which made me sad as the last time I went to Taiwan I forgot to eat it. Overall, would recommend and come back to Keki although I wish the ube flavor was more prominent.

    Yuzu Glazing Cheesecake
    Kat J.

    Obsessed with this place! I always make a point to pick up something when I am in the area. No other cheesecakes measure up, my absolute favorite is the yuzu glazed cheesecake. Not only is it delicious, it is also beautiful. The cream puffs are also very delicious, I haven't had a bad flavor yet. Service is super fast and prompt. It's just a window, there isn't a place to sit. I am already planning my next visit

    By far one of the best Japanese cheesecakes in the city! It's light, fluffy, bouncy (as advertised), and most importantly, won't break your wallet. The freshly made cheesecakes always come out piping hot, so be ready to enjoy some on the spot, or save some for later when it tastes delicious chilled as well. The only recent disappointment was that the Wow tarts have been discontinued. That was my favorite item on the menu, so I'm hoping they return very soon!

    Ordered a bunch of cream puffs and cheesecakes for a friend baby shower. they ran out of cookies and cream but the milk and pistachio flavor were a hit. Everyone enjoyed the bouncy cheesecake as well!

    You will actually forget beard papa once you try a bite of the best cream puff of your entire life at Keki. My friend is obsessed with the original so she got three for $10 and we shared one cream puff which was literal heaven on earth. The cream puff melts in your mouth, isn't cloyingly sweet, and the actual bread around it was done perfectly.

    Happy Birthday Des!

    Purple I've bouncy cake. So good that's it's become a tradition. Any time there is a birthday - UBE BOUNCY CAKE! so much so that when it was my partner's birthday, 2 people brought the cake to Karaoke. It's fun to decorate too :)

    What's the business hours during covid?

    Wednesday - Sunday 12PM-7PM

    Do they sell the cheesecAke by the slice?

    No. But they do have cream puffs. You can try that first.

    Do they do birthday cakes?

    They are like soft cheese cakes Just put candles on top

    Hi! I'm traveling to NYC and planning to take one home after my trip. How long does the bouncy cake last (if not putting it in the fridge after buying to keep the texture as it is)? Thanks!

    A few hours. I'd say 3-4 hours.

    Will cakes be good if purchased 1 day ahead?

    Yes it will be good. If you purchase the cheesecake you can leave in fridge and take it out a few hours before eating to let it "defrost"

    Can you get cake by the slice here?

    Yes, although they ran out of their other items fast. And i believe not all of them are per slice.

    I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

    Bread treats were decent not too different from other bakeries. The fruit and mushroom cakes were…read moredelicious, I enjoyed a lot more than I expected. Not too sweet and a good balance. Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before. The inside doesn't have many tables and it was pretty busy when I went, so I wouldn't expect to get a seat every time you come here.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!!

The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
