Dessert items in their display case were from $5.50-$9. Some looked too cute to eat. Tried their houjicha creme brulee - good texture, not strong tea flavor though. Yuzu matcha iced drink lacked the taste of both ingredients, diluted. Latte was ok. On busy Steinway St so not far from the train. Metered street parking if driving.
Matcha Tiramisu: Sweet and nice matcha flavor. Liked how spongy the cake is. Coconut Pudding Cat: Hard but has a subtle coconut flavor Ice Chiffon Cake: Not much of a taste, hard and not too sweet. Service staff was nice and place is small with few seating.
Strawberry & cream cake tasted exactly like what I wanted. Very simple and straightforward. The oolong cheesecake didn't have a strong oolong flavor. The tiramisu was a bit dryer than what I expected, but I still enjoyed it! Everything was not too sweet :)
I came in and thought their mango mousse was really interesting as it was shaped in the form of a bear! I really enjoyed it, and I would have expected it to be really sweet, but it was actually not too bad!
Came in for tea and had a Hojicha latte. Nutty and a little strong in caffeine for 9pm! I would love to come back for dessert. Staff was extremely kind and considerate, especially considering it was end of day.
5 stars for the strawberry matcha and for great service! I already knew Meadow Dessert had the highest quality matcha in the neighborhood which is why I was so happy when they reopened in their own storefront on Steinway, but the seasonal strawberry matcha latte blew me away. The strawberry cream is so good, sweet enough to stand up to the earthiness of the matcha but not overpower it. Since it's a good matcha powder you can feel the caffeine boost. The price is in line with any other fancy matcha latte in the city but you can be sure they won't serve you a cup of vaguely green milk. I've only done takeout but they've done a good job utilizing the small space inside for seating. There is a loyalty program when you pay.
Absolutely hated this little cafe. Everything was off from the cakes to the service. On top of that a family let their child slobber all over the adjacent table. What a horrible experience. I will not be back.
Been wanting to try out this dessert place for awhile and it did not disappoint. They specialize in tea flavored desserts which is totally up my alley. Came here on a Thursday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. Ordered their coconut milk pudding, oolong tea cheesecake, hojicha crème brûlée, strawberry fruit sandwich and egg sandwich. Their sandwiches were delicious. The bread was soft and pillowy. Their egg sandwich was fresh and creamy. My kids devoured the strawberry fruit sandwich so I cannot comment on it but they raved about it. The coconut milk pudding was cute and jiggly. Had a nice hint of coconut taste and I liked how it was paired with crumbled graham crackers and dried strawberry bits to add more flavor and textures. Their oolong tea cheesecake was creamy and I liked how the texture was not too soft. It also had just the right amount of tea flavor. The hojicha crème brûlée was my favorite. The custard was creamy and the tea flavor was intense as you can see the finely grind tea leaves at the bottom. The carmalized sugar had just the right amount so it didn't make it too sweet or too overpowering. We also ordered their hojicha latte, strawberry matcha and earl gray. You can tell they use quality tea leaves to brew the tea as the flavors were bold and earthy. The strawberry matcha was refreshing and the dried strawberry bits added some sweetness and texture. It's a small cafe with 4 small tables for you to enjoy their treats. But it's comfortable and the staff was super friendly and took the time to explain everything to us. It was a great experience and we would definitely be back.
I was near the area and saw this cute dessert spot. Ordered two cakes for pickup : earl grey cheesecake and kumquat cheesecake. I ordered via the online portal which was easy to use and included a 3% credit card surcharge (I don't know if there's still a surcharge if you purchased in store). The online order was easy to use and pickup was fast too. The cake slices were a lot smaller than I expected. They felt like half or 2/3 of a regular cake slice. I originally thought the prices were very affordable but looking at the small size, I think they're a little bit pricy. The kumquat matcha basque cheesecake was not bad. The citrus flavor was a good touch. I did not enjoy the earl grey cheesecake. It had a weird aftertaste and some bites didn't taste like earl grey. We didn't end up finishing the earl grey cheesecake. Both cakes were a little heavy too but not too sweet. Overall: I thought the cakes were just okay, cute shop shared with an omakase place. Not sure if I'll try other desserts from this shop.
This is their soft opening. So cute but... I wish there was more taste and flavor to the desserts. The desserts we ordered were definitely not on the sweet side, which can be a good thing if you are diabetic. But it would have been a tad better if there was just a bit more sweetness.
Super cute yummy desserts! If you must try only one get the mango mouse bear but be warned it is so cute you won't want to eat it.
The sesame basque cheesecake (not even released to the full menu yet) was absolutely divine since I seldom have a black sesame dessert that encompasses the flavor in each fiber! The caramel lava cheesecake was also great and the toasting was cool to witness The chai latte is brewed in house and great recommendation for having it cold (apparently half and half did not go well with it and whole/oat milk were better and announced, which was wonderful). The service was flawless and wish I had another stomach for more Elegant and sleek display case also featured to help further improve the atmosphere.
Went out on a random Tuesday day and thankfully seating inside wasn't too packed . Friendly and attentive staff . Me and my friends all got the strawberry matcha . Matcha was strong in flavor but strawberry flavor made the whole drink sour . The desserts were sooo soo good tho! We all loved the black sesame cheesecake , wasn't too sweet and perfect nutty sesame flavor . The mango bear was also very good and not too sweet! Cute for photos ! Lastly we got the matcha tiramisu which was also very delicious , not overly sweet. The desserts were all very tasty and it was super super cute ! Would come back to try other desserts!
I've had my eye on this place for years - should have come here sooner. Black sesame basque cheesecake: my favorite of the 4 I tried. This is actually cheesecake rather than the lighter Japanese version, with a strong black sesame flavor. Hojicha creme brulee: this came as part of a promotion, and the taste is strong. They do brulee the top on the spot and my sugar top got a little too burnt. Oolong tea cheesecake: still good, would get this again still. Lighter flavor but the floral flavor does come out at the end of a bite. Coconut milk jelly: the lightest of the flavor but still sweet and flavorful enough to come through. There's a dusting of graham crackers and strawberry jelly to complement. We also got a hot matcha jasmine latte but it was actually cold. It seems like it normally comes iced and perhaps they have no way of warming up the jasmine part. There's a points program and tons of promotions that rotate. There have also been different desserts that rotate so I'll have to keep coming back to try more. They have a lunch special too where you can get a drink or dessert for less cost. read more
4/5 mango smoothie $7.50- sweet, tastes like mango lassi 3/5 spicy shrimp onigiri $3.50- needs more shrimp, esp towards the top & middle 5/5 Hojicha crème brûlée $5.50- can't taste the Hojicha but was told cuz it's naturally very light, besides the caremelized top, the cream wasn't too sweet, excellent otherwise, best crème brûlée I've ever had Didn't try their oolong tea cheesecake cuz I know the oolong flavor is very light which apparently is naturally so but would like to try some day read more
Small, self service cafe with tea drinks and cute Asian styled desserts. We had the tiramisu and the coconut kitty pudding. Both were good and lightly sweet. The kitty pudding is so cute and jiggly but the flavor is very mild. The strawberry sauce definitely helps. read more

Really great customer service!!! And I loved the strawberry matcha and jasmine matcha latte!! I enjoyed how they used fresh homemade strawberry syrup in the strawberry matcha latte it was perfect!! read more
Oh wow. This hidden spot always pulled me in thanks to their small sign in the front of the store. I decided to surprise my husband with matcha tiramisu as a welcome home treat. The matcha tiramisu was heavenly, it wasn't too over powering or bitter, it was perfectly balanced with bitter and sweet and light. The matcha latte oat iced was pretty good, but if you are use to sweet matcha ask to put sugar in it. The mango mousse bear was so creamy and flavorful; and nevertheless, so cute!! I can't wait to try what else they have on the menu. Beautiful desserts, you won't regret it :) read more
I think I just found the cutest dessert spot in Astoria, Queens. They are operating inside of Koyo so to get your hands on these delicious desserts, you have to order for pick up or delivery! Each dessert is made fresh daily so get there early before they sell out! I ordered all of their most popular items and was super impressed. My favorites were the iced chiffon cake and earl grey tea cheesecake. They were all not too sweet; the ultimate Asian compliment. read more

I discovered this place when it had just opened a few months ago but never got around to reviewing it. It is located in a Japanese restaurant but their hours are from 11-6 while the sushi restaurant operates after that. It's not set for dine in during the day so your only options are to order in person , order it on line for pick up or delivery. The first time I came here I got the stinking cute coconut kitty which was refreshing and so affordable compared to other places (I'm looking at you Anjelly). However the owner informed me the kitty is too delicate for travel in the summer months so my second time here we opted for the mango mouse bear and the kumquat green tea cheese cake. My favorite was the mango bear not only cuz of the cuteness factor but for the brightness of the mango flavor. The kumquat cheese cake honestly was good but I felt like the kumquat overpowers the green tea so I felt the green tea was really only there for color contrast rather than compliment the kumquat. The bear is on the pricier side for 9 dollars but it's a nice cute and delicious treat. read more

Delicious desserts that are the perfect level of sweetness (not too sweet). I got the mousse bear (so cute!) and the matcha tiramisu. Both were really good and melts in your mouth. Service was very good, I placed the order online and picked it up. Only downside is the desserts are a bit on the pricier side ($10 each after tax). read more
