My son enjoyed every one of the 4 visits we made here during our 2 day trip to NYC. The mushroom pastry was a favorite.
Four and half stars. Alright we love the fruit pastry trend. The mango so good. The flavors are just right but it is super messy and fragile to eat. The pistachio I have had better elsewhere. We wouldn't order the pistachio again but we would certainly order the mango again!
Glad the line was short and the ordering process was smooth. The storefront could be a bit more organized, as the small seating area on the side can get crowded. I highly recommend their Mont Blanc mini cake. If you're a chestnut lover, you can't go wrong with it. It's not overly sweet and has light, delicate cake layers. The yuzu and mango cakes were also delicious. I've tried their sesame cake before, and it's another great option if you prefer something light and less sweet.
Late to review but a friend and I stopped by in March for a sweet treat when we were visiting from out of town. We walked in around 1 pm on a Sunday and the place was full but not packed. Their desserts looked so beautiful and pristine; it was hard to choose which ones we wanted to try. We ended up getting two of the hyper-realistic mousse cakes: the pear and the yuzu. I also got the sesame latte. Both the mousse cakes were amazing. There were so many components to each of them. The flavors and textures were such an experience to have all together. The sesame latte was really good too with such a fragrant flavor. I would definitely come back to try their other cakes!
I finally tried every black sesame item from this viral asian-french patisserie in NYC. Everyone knows Salswee for the cute fruit-shaped cakes, but I honestly think people are sleeping on their black sesame menu. I was pleasantly surprised by how rich and nutty all the black sesame flavors were, and that's high praise coming from me because I grew up eating a lot of black sesame desserts in Asia. ＊Black Sesame Mochi Cake $18.99 I got this mini whole cake for my birthday. Perfect size for a small household (around 3 to 4 slices). I just wish the chiffon had a stronger black sesame flavor, and I would've loved even more mochi and black sesame lava inside. ＊Black Sesame Puff Square $6.95 HUGE and such a good value for the size. It's a croissant cube with black sesame butter swirled all throughout the loaf. The inside pulled apart easily like fluffy milk bread, while the outside stayed crispy and buttery like a croissant. I could not stop tearing off piece after piece. ＊Black Sesame Latte $6.99 The black sesame latte was SO GOOD I got it twice in one week. It had this super nutty black sesame cream foam over a black sesame milk base, and I could actually taste both the rich sesame flavor and the coffee.
Update to my review from a couple months ago--I came back to pick up a mini cake and a fruit trompe-l'œil mousse dessert and I was disappointed.... ...in how long the lines were! A surge in recent popularity meant on a Saturday afternoon around 4pm there was a line of 30ish people waiting inside to order. So much for my original plans to be in and out in 10-15 minutes! It took about 45 minutes in total--about 30 min waiting to order then 15 min waiting for the order. What I wasn't disappointed in was the execution of the cakes, the Ferrero Rocher cake $22.95 had a chocolate shell with bits of hazelnut in the shell and also in the center of the cake. The cake texture was fluffy and light, in line with Asian sponge cakes, and a whipped cream with a hint of hazelnut flavor. I wouldn't have minded if the cake flavor was a little stronger. The orange trompe-l'œil $10.95 was a feat! How they injected the liquid filling inside while maintaining the delicate shell with a perfect replica of an orange peel textured exterior--exemplifies a study in food physics for me. Not only did it look like a juicy citrus fruit, it tasted like one, and when you cut into it--kinda looked like you'd just squeezed a fresh one too. Gorgeous and delicious! I'll be back to try a some other fruits!
I'm not the biggest desserts person, so I fully expected to be underwhelmed by these desserts. Especially because I feel like everyone always says it's overhyped. I just wanted to try it for the novelty, but I actually loved these so much! It is on the pricier side, but it was nice for a big group of us to just share a bunch and get like a bite from each. It is really hard to split because they're so delicate, but we managed. I personally liked the blueberry the best, but the pear and mango were also really delicious. They really captured the natural flavor of all the fruits!
My bf's mom and cousin stopped in to grab us a few treats. Ordered: *Garlic Butter Croissant - warmed up *Pistachio Cube *Coconut Flake Bun *Blueberry dessert *Mango dessert - mango shaped *Coconut dessert I didn't try many as I wasn't feeling sweets but they all got rave reviews. The garlic butter croissant was SO GOOD, though, and (unexpectedly to me) filled with a rich, buttery cream. Prices were sooo reasonable for the quality and delicate nature of these desserts.
Swung by on a Sunday around 11 and there was really a small line of people. The display case for savory pastries was full but the sweet pastries were almost half empty (they seemed to be in the middle of replenishing it as I left). I ordered the orange, mango and mushroom suisse. There was a bit of a wait for the orders but it wasn't too bad. The cakes were secure in mini boxes and everything was packed into a nice paper tote bag for take out. The desserts were very delicate upon first glance but also easy to break apart (so things got a bit messy). The orange dessert had a more mellow and lighter flavor compared to the mango one. It had a orange mandarin jam center covered with a vanilla cream layer. I didn't really care too much for the chocolate rice crisp bottom layer. The leaves were maybe peppermint though if it was mint then that would make the whole dish edible. The mango dessert was sweeter than the orange one. The mango jam filling was sweet and had a few pieces of mango that were a bit sour but didn't take away from the overall sweet mango flavor. The cream covering the jam must've also been mango flavored. I really liked the mushroom suisse! I reheated it in the microwave for a bit before eating it. I loved the crispy exterior as it contrasted well with the softness of the puff pastry middle. The mushroom filling was also tasty as it reminded me a bit of cream of mushroom soup. I'll be giving their other savory pastries a try during my next visit. FYI, if posting on socials for the complimentary pastry, do so before ordering.
Dropped by on whim to satisfy my sweet tooth. The pastries are the definition of aesthetic, with each one tasting similarly like their depiction. We got the mango pastry, which was not overly sweet but retained a hint of mango flavor. Service was quick and efficient. Location is easily accessible via the subway.
I've been to Salswee a good handful of times now and have tasted at least 10 different cakes/pastries. Every single dessert I've tried has been a hit, literally you can't go wrong with any of them! Their craft is so special and it's like a surprise in every bite. I love their mini cakes that are perfect for a small group of 4 to share. Their pastries are sweeter than the cakes so if you are looking for a balanced, not-too-sweet cake. This is where it's at!
Omg I wish I had more stomach to eat more! The mousse cakes are so pretty and bursting with flavor. The yuzu was amazing. I would love to try one for the other cakes too like the mango sticky pudding. The pastries were fantastic as well like the black sesame block. Crispy exterior that holds its shape and wonderfully moist and soft inside. I tried the traffic light drink and it was delicious and the layers were nice on the eyes. Highly recommend!!
The line up was insane, we waited about 30 minutes order and then another 30 minutes to receive our order... we went in and he later afternoon mid-March. The treats were delicious and from speaking to people in the shop, they also had really good things to say about their drinks. I would visit again if it wasn't as busy.

the traffic light matcha was great! mango cold foam paired well with strawberry jam -- it's the perfect summer drink i have tried their blueberry cake and it's also really good! soft cream and cake, not too sweet, balanced flavours! service was so good -- the staff are always so friendly and helpful! read more
The Pistachio (9/10) was my favorite. It had layers of crunchy texture, syrup, and mousse that all worked really well together. The Mango (8.5/10) was refreshing with mango pieces inside, a sweet syrup layer, and a light mousse, but after biting into it it was falling apart. The Black Truffle Suisse (9/10) had the perfect crispy exterior with a delicious truffle cream filling. It tasted like it had been sitting out for a little while, but I still really enjoyed the flavor. read more

That was a fun treat. Took the kids just to spoil them with something sweet and their desserts are definitely memory making for sure. We all shared a few different things and I think we all had different favorites. The fruits are dazzling, but the cloud really stood out to me. The texture was really nice and not messy like the fruits. If I could do it again, I'd like to try more treats that had more chocolate! read more

Great bakery with traditional beautiful baked goods plus "illusion" entremet in various fruit shapes. Worth the price for these unique treats. I loved the mango and Parmesan / mushroom croissant I had. Fast , friendly , helpful service and there's a code on your receipt for the clean bathroom which is welcome in this area of midtown. Yummy! We'll be back! read more

Salswee truly elevates the cafe experience with their Japanese-inspired pastries. I love the evolution of their menu, compared to a year ago when it was mostly puff pastries, the new dessert selection is much more impressive. This location def has more seating, though I really wish they would turn up the heat! It was freezing inside, which made it a bit hard to fully relax. What we got: Yuzu (4.25/5): A delicate hint of yuzu; I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. Mango (4.5/5): My favorite! The fresh mango flavor paired perfectly with the passionfruit read more

I am not a birthday cake person. Never really have been. I will take a slice to be polite and move on, but I have never been the guy who gets excited about cake. Salswee changed that. My wife got me a birthday cake from Salswee and I ate the whole thing. Not out of obligation. Not to be nice. Because it was genuinely that good. The cake was light in a way that most cakes are not. Fluffy texture, almost delicate, nothing dense or heavy about it. Inside there were mango pieces throughout and the top was finished with sliced fresh mango and a cream frosting that did not overpower anything. Every component worked together without any one element taking over. What got me most was how I felt after eating it. You know that heavy, bloated feeling you get after a slice of traditional birthday cake? That did not happen here. I finished the whole cake and felt completely fine. That alone says something about what they are working with. If you are in the area and you want something that actually delivers on flavor without wrecking you afterward, Salswee is absolutely worth trying. One of the best birthday cakes I have ever had and I did not even think I liked birthday cake. read more
Cute cafe to work in! Service was quick and friendly and the display made everything appetizing! They also list ingredients and are honest since I couldn't eat the gelatin based sweets. My friend enjoyed her coffee and mango dessert. I thought the coconut tea had too much coconut water and so the butterfly pea taste was completely lost. It was a little too sweet for my taste too. The strawberry tart was good and nice filling! It's a cute cafe but with the taste of the food, not worth the hype. It's definitely one of those instagram places read more
Salswee: A Must-Try Dessert Oasis Near Penn Station! Salswee is an amazing new dessert place, conveniently located within walking distance (10 mins) of NY Penn Station. It's the perfect spot for a sweet break. We tried a variety of their offerings--the banana, orange, hazelnut, and the pain au chocolat--but the mango dessert was the absolute best: creamy, layered texture, perfectly cold and refreshing! We also grabbed a cappuccino with a pump of caramel, and it was creamy and delicious. Their staff are friendly and we were helped by a young man Dhruv. The ambiance is modern and place is very clean. They have seating available, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy your treat. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

This was interesting! The shop is very tiny but everything was tasty? Being totally honest, I have no idea what I ate lol but it was yummy! The blueberry pastry thing was a mousse and jam or something? read more
My friend recommended this place to me and I had to try it out. Right off the bat, the fruit desserts were so cute. Everything looked beautiful. I got the orange and the black sesame cube. The sesame cube was cool looking but it was a little dry. I would not recommend ordering it. The orange dessert on the other hand was so delicious. The crunchy coating was so thin. Once you bite into it the filling comes oozing out which was satisfying. Highly recommend ordering the fruit dessert or cakes. read more
Not only were these absolutely stunning they were also so delicious. Very fresh and amazing. I got the mushroom, Yuzu, and the mango and each of them were delicious. My favorite was probably either the mushroom or mango but the yuzu was still so good I'm glad I got it. A very nice small cafe- don't try to come sit inside with more than two people though. Service was great! Lovely place! read more

The desserts here are delicious, with a light sweetness that's not overwhelming. The fruit fillings are fragrant, fresh, and very enjoyable. The drinks are also well-balanced and nicely flavored. I highly recommend trying the pear and mango pastries, as well as the butterfly pea coconut drink -- all beautifully made and just as good as they look. They offer a variety of desserts, including baked goods, and the presentation is stunning. There is seating available, though it can get quite busy, so you may need to wait for a table. Overall, definitely worth it. read more

Stopped by Salswee and had such a great experience! I ordered the Blue Coconut drink. It was made with coconut, butterfly pea flower, and a dairy foam and it was incredibly refreshing. Lightly sweet, creamy, and such a pretty blue color. For dessert, I got the Mango, which is the adorable dessert shaped like a real mango. The flavor was amazing -- rich, fruity, and super smooth, with that perfect mango sweetness and passionfruit mousse. The staff was really helpful, and the whole shop has a cute, welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more
Absolutely delicious! Located off Broadway close to the West 38th Street. This was my daughters favorite place to visit in our time in New York. The Mango pastry was a perfect balance of texture and flavor. The service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was essential for a great time! Seating can be limited if you desire to dine-in. Overall, a new bookmarked favorite of ours and will definitely be back on our next visit! Enjoy! read more
I got to try this bakery for my birthday as it has been swirling around social media. There was a long line and I got there maybe an hour after it opened so keep that in mind if you are going on the weekend. You may not get a seat but with some of these treats, I think it's Important to have a seat and enjoy. We got a bunch of different treats to try and I was excited to dig in. I think the cloud pastry was my favorite since it was more chocolatey. The mush room, orange, and cloud have a lot of different flavors and textures inside so it's definitely an experience. Visually and also through taste. I love the mushroom next, it reminded ne of a strawberry shortcake. This is not a place that I dream about going back to. Yes it's good but I think I was expecting to keep wanting to go back because it was so good. I would still try it out read more
