Dessert bars are not a new thing in NYC, but finding a very good one can be difficult. This one comes from Chef Eunji Lee, who comes from renowned Jungsik. My partner did see the chef in the kitchen when we were there. We were able to make a reservation for this several weeks in advance surprisingly without any hassle. When you walk in, there is a floor level section and an upper level section.
Patisserie Fouet is another one of those Japanese French style dessert places where they also have a prix fixe (3 desserts).
The yuzu jelly was ok. It is not like the panna cotta pictures on Yelp. It tasted like one of those raindrops that had some yuzu flavors in it. I didn’t care too much for it.
The yuzu sugar sugar came with yuzu mousse, green tea sponge cake, Japanese yam, and black sesame ice cream. The red shell was made from a candy cane type of stickiness. I wasn’t too crazy over this because it sticks to your teeth. The black sesame was definitely one of the stars for this.
This place is known for the dessert chef featured on Cake Boss. To be quite honest, I’ve never watched it, so I don’t know what to expect.
We got chocolate cannoli, plain cannoli, some red velvet cake thing, and lobster tail. To be honest, the lobster tail was actually quite good and was my favorite of everything. The lobster tail’s pastry thin crust was flaky but not brittle. It tasted like a delicate thin but sturdy crust of a pastel I had at Aldea. The filling was good and not too sweet. The cannolis, to be honest, I could do without. They were actually quite sweet, so I don’t really recommend that as much as the lobster tail if you had to pick one. Lastly, the red velvet cake looking thing was not very good. There wasn’t much cake in it. And if there was, it was blended with all the cream inside.
The cookie dough here is pretty sweet.
Tried multiple flavors, but all of them are all pretty sweet. I also used some of the batter and baked some cookies. They turned out ok, though no different than if you to were make regular cookies. One scoop by the way makes about 5 ok sized cookies.
Honestly, I thought the one of the better things to get was not the dough itself, but the ice cream sandwich. It’s 2 cookie doughs with DO ice cream smashed in between. The ice cream was a nice counter balance to the super sweetness of the cookie dough.
This was in a small mall, and it was pretty good. We got the eclairs and apple flan.
These are super tiny one bite mini cupcakes. Pretty good though the flavor profiles aren’t that different from each other.
I like the gelato here. A bit expensive but good.
Desserts are pretty good, but I don’t get why there is always a line here.
The milk tea was just ok.
The donuts were good.
Interesting desserts and pretty good. In the summer, they have burrata frozen yogurt as well as some type of watermelon frosty thing.
They’re also known for the Cronut, but it can be bought at the Spring location.
Amazingly good albeit super expensive for a dessert tasting menu. Six courses plus wine pairing for $150+. Geez.
