We struggled to hold our order down to just four things because we kinda wanted to try every blessed thing in that display case. And even though I went in search of pistachio croissants after discovering such things exist at Angelina Bakery in Times Square on our last visit, the pistachio cube and cold foam latte were great but exactly what they said they were. But that almond croissant. I love an almond croissant (and will happily sub in a bear claw if that's as close as I can get)... this went far beyond. We split it apart to share and the filling didn't stay, it was gooey, oozing out like you want the best sticky buns to do. Warm and absolutely perfect. And the mango. We knew the artifice desserts were a thing, but we still didn't quite know how that would play out. It looked perfectly like regular fruit, but crack it open and it had mousse and gelee and sponge cake... wow. Was it twice the cost of the regular desserts? y Yes, and still I want to go back and try all the other ones in the case -- Yelp says try the mushroom?! read more

I'd had Salswee's chestnut cake before and it was delicious. This time, I passed by their branch near Bryant Park and saw some incredibly delicate, minimalist Korean-style desserts. I was instantly drawn to them and bought four! The mango and orange look exactly like emojis--so cute! I initially bought them just for their looks, but the taste was even better than I expected. I'm totally a fan! The Mango has a chocolate shell encasing mousse and mango sauce, with mango chunks inside. It's sweet and tangy, very refreshing, and delicious! Orange: A chocolate-coated orange cake with a mousse and jam filling, featuring large orange chunks. Like the mango, it has a sweet and sour flavor. Yuzu: An adorable flower-shaped grapefruit mousse cake. The flowers are made of cream, and the filling includes sweet and sour grapefruit mousse and guava jam. It comes with crispy rice crackers, creating a rich and delicious flavor. Coconut: A coconut mousse cake filled with passion fruit jam and a thin layer of pandan chiffon cake. It's topped with coconut flakes and a chocolate chip cookie , and a -shaped passion fruit jelly chocolate on top. The overall flavor is rich and creamy, perfectly complementing the refreshing passion fruit jam and cake. Every small cake is delicious, not too sweet, and perfect for Chinese tastes. I went around 3 or 4 pm, and they still had plenty of small cakes, constantly restocking. The prices are reasonable, with small cakes around $10 each. The shop has a nice ambiance, making it a great place for afternoon tea with friends. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I had to write a review because Salswee Desserts are truly worth the hype! I will wait in any line for this. The fruit-shaped desserts are absolutely amazing--so creative and delicious. My best friend and I shared the mushroom, banana, and guava desserts, and every single one was incredible. The mushroom was my personal favorite! Everything was smooth, fresh, and perfectly made. It's the perfect spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. Can't wait to come back already. Love this location and the whole experience! read more

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. read more

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.

Great bakery with traditional beautiful baked goods plus "illusion" entremet in various fruit shapes. Worth the price for these unique treats.

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!! 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

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

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.

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.

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

Could it be that there is another location in New York City? Yes!! There is! I was on my way to Hey Tea when I discovered that this beautiful bakery that rooted and bloomed in the Flat Iron District opened another location. I went around the middle of the afternoon and every single table was occupied. I looked at the display of gorgeous and beautifully thought out pastries and decided to get the mushroom and cheese pastry. It was absolutely delicious. Baked and beautiful layers with a crispy exterior and an airy soft interior filled with cooked mushrooms and topped with a crispy cheese, this croissant filled me up for hours to come. I wanted to get a lot more things, but I only got one this time around. They are well known for the beautiful realistic, fruit desserts. They look like actual fruits until you cut them up. While the prices are high for such small items, the prices they ask for are well deserved due to the quality and time dedicated to making the art. From what many friends have told me they are all delicious. There is also a wonderful menu of drinks featuring ones like black sesame latte and matcha lattes. I will be back to try them all! read more

My wife went to the restroom and left me unattended with her tart brulee. This was like the girl who leaves their German shepherd alone with an entire cooked turkey on camera to see what happens....the girls got a mango and a cloud. The mango was a thing of beauty to behold. After a bold leap of faith to cut into it, it was cold and tangy and scrumptious. The cloud was devoured within 2" and by report was "really good, tastes like a Ferrero rocher!" The tart brûlée top fractured like shattered plate glass. The first bite was surprising with a pineapple and mango crunch. Delicious. read more
