I wasn't even remotely in the market for dessert but then I walked by and the Cookie Odyssey sign basically said, "Hey you. Yeah, you." I told myself I'd just browse... and then they offered me a sample. Game over! These cookies strike that elite balance of chewy on the inside with just a little crust on the outside. I was instantly sold. Huge fan, zero regrets, and I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone in the UES looking to indulge in some solid cookies. Banana Chocolate Chunk Cookie (5/5) - Apparently their bestseller, and I totally see why. Imagine moist banana bread that decided to glow up and become a chocolate chunk cookie. Unreal. Do yourself a favor and try this one! Peanut Butter Cup / Reese's Pieces Cookie (5/5) - A no-brainer win for chocolate and peanut butter lovers. Overall, this place hits!

I walk by all the time and finally gave into my chocolate chip craving and stopped by for some cookies. It's super tiny inside - one table. The counter with the cookies is small too. I got 3 mini cookies for $5.99: - triple chocolate: not as chocolatey as other ones surprisingly - banana chocolate: the banana just added a different texture to the cookie - I didn't mind it! - original chocolate chip: just what I was craving - it hit the spot

Ithica

I stopped in wanting to try a couple different cookies. I went mid morning with the idea that there would be ample supplies. Unfortunately, the best sellers were not available. Probably best for my body lol. I got The Ithica which had chocolate chips and walnuts. It was amazing. It was nice and soft and almost cookie dough which I love. Lots of chocolate chips and walnuts made it quite enjoyable. A bit messy so be careful and not the largest cookie, but an S tier cookie nonetheless. Wish I could have tried more, but glad I got the one.

The establishment is small but there is a small area to eat. The display of cookies looked amazing. There was a sampler dish to try some of the cookies. We opted for the Oreo which was just cooked (around 9p) surprised to find out they were still baking stuff so late at night. The cookie is massive, generous on the toppings, not too sweet. It is more on the soft side rather than crunchy. It is thick.

I have to say this is the first place I have been to in a long time that they cookies are so good. So fresh and really good. Def a place to good.

Friend brought us here after dinner and wow the cookies are good. Order the original and your taste buds will thank you, one of the best cookies I've ever had. The balance of sweet, chocolate, butter, and all good things in a cookie just wow. We also tried the banana and chocolate. Those were good but paled in comparison to the original. Employee was super nice and seemed genuinely excited that we were there for cookies (as were we).

Delicious cookies.Crispy edges, moist chocolatey center. Buttery, warm and the perfect size. All around great cookie.

This cookie store just opened in the area. There is no seating really to enjoy your cookies or coffee. There is a small bench by the window. It is super cute and very clean. The person working when I went was very nice and explained to me all the different cookies they had today. I unfortunately, can't eat any due to my allergies. I did see on social media the vanilla Iced fredo cappuccino that looked really good. So, I figured I would get one and try it for myself. YUM! It's delicious and refreshing. They ask if you want cinnamon on top too. Will definitely be back to try more of their coffee drinks.

Checked out The Cookie Odyssey at their new UES location! The Odyssey was probably my favorite out of the three and the Chocolate Coconut my second. I appreciated how their cookies were crunchy on the outside with a chewy interior overall. The ratio of cookie to topping was also nicely done. I did find them a little too sweet for my taste and the cookie part was more "cakey" when I prefer my cookies to have more of a chew. The store itself doesn't have a lot of space but I do find the bench top space very cute, especially under the neon lights. Staff were polite and were offering free samples. Curious to try other flavors and to compare how the smaller ones taste to the regular sized cookies!

So good! The banana cookie and dark/white chocolate chip cookies were so good!!! The banana was very light in flavor, but the other was very rich and chocolately! Perfectly soft middle.

Delicious cookie experience. A warm inviting smell and a small store (apparently their first location was in FiDi). Allegedly the oldest cookie shop in NYC. Best part is that there a mini versions of each cookie so if you're not in the mood for a sweet overload and want to try a few flavors, you can do it all by yourself in one go! I love that there is a banana flavor with real banana slices and fresh samples to try. There is coffee and milk on the menu (including skim) so I could have a proper cookies and milk experience. This is a great spot when you want something more substantial than the Subway's cookies next to the counter and not as intense as Levain or Chip City and you don't have to trek downtown and find a signature one at a specialty coffee shop or bakery. Will come back! Really appreciated how helpful and kind the staff was as well.

Chocolate banana cookie

I am so glad they came to the upper east side! They have both mini and larger cookies available. I tried the chocolate chip banana cookie and was super impressed by both the size and texture. There were different types of chocolate in the cookie which really made for a very delicious bite. Would definitely go again to try different flavors

Ordered mini cookies from this shop for an office celebration. An account I follow on Instagram tagged them which is how I found out about them - their website is pretty bare bones and there is no way to order directly from their website - let alone even see the menu. I corresponded with the shop via email and was able to place my order directly through them as opposed to a third party. The mini cookies were buy 8 get 2 free, so i decided to order 6 orders of 8, ending up in 60 cookies. They have 6 core flavors and a seasonal vegan pumpkin pie cookie at the moment. I decided to try all of them! The order arrived early and was packaged very nicely. They have cute long boxes that fit 10 mini cookies perfectly. The cyclops with the banana was by far everyone's favorite. I really enjoyed the triple chocolate chunk. The pecan pie shortbread was really tasty too. The pumpkin pie one felt more cakey than a cookie and was pretty big for a 'mini.' All of the cookies were enjoyed, except the Circe - the chocolate ginger snap. That cookie was inedible. Straight up ginger just all over the cookie. I feel like they could take that cookie off the menu and replace it was something else much better! I'd definitely order from this place again though.

Amavi is a great place to celebrate a birthday if you like a loud, DJ spinning, hookah smoking, over priced Mediterranean restaurant, this is the place for you.

We had thLychee martinis & Dreams of Amalfi Hazelnut bar, crème brûlée (we topped itwith melted chocolate from the cheesecake), and Dubai chocolate cheesecake On the pricier side, but worth it for the ambiance, service, and flavors.

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.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. 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.
