Flower-topped cakes, cookies, vegan options, and espresso
"Known for flower-topped mini cakes, the shop exemplifies the trend of elevating a single, visually distinctive pastry by giving it full attention instead of a broad pastry case." - Liz Provencher
"This tiny shop in the East Village from Lucie Franc de Ferriere is one of those viral places to get a piece of cake. There is usually a line snaking out of the front door of the store, which can only comfortably fit five or six people inside at a time. The majestically tall, flower-topped cakes are the signature and the thing you should definitely try on a first visit. She also makes great cookies, raspberry cheesecake brownies, and just a good old-fashioned slice of chocolate cake with salted dark chocolate and espresso buttercream." - Mike Chau
"Lucie Franc de Ferriere started her Instagram bakery during the pandemic, making floral-flourished sweets — odes to French countryside upbringing. In January, she opened her first brick-and-mortar that has garnered lines down the block for her moist mini chocolate cakes wrapped up in boxes that make them feel like presents." - Eater Staff, Melissa McCart
"Since it opened in early 2023 in the East Village after social-media success, From Lucie has drawn people who enjoy the feeling of exclusivity that lines create, which the owner Lucie Franc de Ferriere appreciates for the free marketing, but I noticed those same lines also add stress for staff and impatience among customers, so they've tried time-saving measures like pre-boxing cakes; lately wait times have eased and the customer base is growing more organically." - Emma Orlow
"What began as a cake pop-up has become a bakery where Lucie Franc de Ferriere covers her cakes in flowers as an ode to the French countryside where she grew up." - Emma Orlow
