LELECHA

I absolutely love this bakery! Everything is freshly baked. The interior design of this bakery is modern and stylish. Their Asian-style soft breads and Euro-style crusty loaves are perfectly balanced. It’s a great place to grab a coffee and pastry.

Certainly! Here's a more polished and politically correct rephrasing: --- Located just a short walk from our hotel, this modern and stylish Asian bakery offers a variety of freshly baked breads and pastries, as well as a selection of fruit and milk teas. We decided to try two of their most popular beverages: the honeydew coconut refresher and the mango smoothie. Both were enjoyable, but the honeydew stood out as our favorite. One of the great features is the ability to customize the sweetness level of the drinks. I opted for a lower sweetness level, which still resulted in a refreshingly sweet beverage—perfect for the hot weather. Although we did experience a brief wait of about 15 minutes due to the high volume of customers, the service and quality made it worthwhile. It’s definitely a great spot to visit if you’re looking for a cool and refreshing treat.

Went there during their grand opening. The staff are so friendly and considerate. The line was pretty long, and they are offering umbrella for shade and water/samples to try. Taste is phenomenal, and with very nice vibe in there. Would revisit soon!

No more lines for this bakery. Everything we got was super good and fresh. Loved the caramel egg tart and the dirty chocolate bun. Drinks are yummy and a good price, highly recommend the melon coconut. They also have super cute packaging. Glad this chain came to NY.

absolutely loved this bakery! Everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. The croissants were perfectly flaky, the sourdough had a great crust and chewy center, and the pastries were not overly sweet — just right. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the whole place had a warm, cozy atmosphere. You can tell they really care about quality. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I tried 2 drinks, the fresh coconut drink with jelly and citrus burst tea. They were both really yummy and refreshing! I cannot wait to come again! I need to try their pastries next time because they sold out when I came today during the evening. Really cute shop! Most importantly, the workers are really sweet and nice! Cannot wait to come back soon!!!

Newly opened not so many people yet!! The store is cute with display of all breads available. Some drinks are buy one get one free! If you purchase more than $30 they will give you a free tote bag. What a wonderful experience being here. Breads are awesome and drinks are delicious.

Many options of different bread with different toppings and fillings. They look beautiful and also taste well! They also have a lot of boba tea and drinks. It’s a good choice for an afternoon tea! Highly recommend trying all the breads! Will definitely try again next time for new drinks and breads!

Cute store! Great food! They have amazing fruit tea and also great service! Will definitely recommend to friends and come again

The shop is super cute! I got the strawberry peach chunky tea smoothie with zero sugar and it's super refreshing

Love it! Friendly service and nice yummy bread! people are nice and the bread is so good! Come back!

Rarely do I give 5 stars for rating because I always feel that there can be improvements. I just tried their butter croissant and to me it's perfection! It's a light and flaky square shaped croissant base with the perfect cream that's a blend between egg custard and crème brûlée. If you're a fan of Chinese custard tarts and crème brûlées, this is the product for you!!! It's not crazy sweet or too stiff. This is my newest favorite dessert! Add a nice coffee or tea and you're in yummy peace

Service was quick but the drink selection hadn't been that interesting. The peach strawberry tea was their popular / recommended drink, and I got it with 30% sugar and still found it overwhelmingly sweet. They did have some baked goods that looked yummy and pretty special. I think I'd try one of those next time and skip the drink. Ambiance was nice and the baked goods presentation was pretty interesting. Note that there is not seating inside of the cafe.

Okay, my friend from Asia sent me this post regarding this place and so it peaked my curiosity and decided to ask A to pick up my order for me, since it's near the vicinity of errand day. I put in four drinks, yes, I know, but hey I wanted to try all these different flavours and two pastries. I find their drinks to be a lot more reasonably price than other places. I swear bubble tea shouldn't be costing $10! Iced Mango Sago Pomelo - good Mango Coconut Bliss Smoothie - good Oolong Breeze with Bubbles - not sure why, but it was really hard to get the bubbles out of this drink. I thought this was okay. I usually get no sugar, but this tea didn't taste good to me without sugar. Supreme Taro Milk - good Dirty Bun and Garlic Cheese Bun - they forgot both pastries, so whomp whomp, can't provide opinion regarding it. I do appreciate the bag is insulated, so that's a plus, but yeah, really wish they didn't forget my pastries!

Came for the matcha dirty bun, got that and the garlic cream cheese and would 100% come back for garlic cream cheese bun - you can smell the aroma the second you walk in! The matcha dirty bun has basically 0 sugar and for someone who doesn't like sweets to be that sweet, this tasted like no sugar to me unfortunately! Not salty not sweet and matcha can have a bitter note especially when dusted on top. The bun is also not nearly as fluffy as the garlic cream cheese bun. Tip: the middle section is a display of options, don't pick those up as they're not for purchase. No seating but there are plenty of seats at Bryant Park nearby! Have to come back to try the tiramisu and drinks!

Mehhhh probably would not come here again. Kind of chaotic inside with no clear direction on where the line is. I got the strawberry jasmine drink, honeydew coconut drink, and tiramisu pastry. For both drinks, the fruit overpowered the taste so much where you aren't able to taste the jasmine/coconut. Weirdly enough, the honeydew drink has the fruit cut in an awkward thickness where you can't comfortably just swallow but it's also too thin to chew The best thing was probably the tiramisu pastry. No complaints on that They also had samples of their bagels and cream pastries inside but TBH they did not have much taste and were very mushy. Kind of just tasted like a blob of sugar with no actual distinct flavor Nothing really wow'd me so unlikely to come again, but cool to check out

I went to Lelecha on grand opening day and was surprised at how quick the service was despite how crowded the store was. Not only do they sell boba, which includes both fruit teas and milk teas, but they also have a bakery section where you can order sweet or savory freshly baked buns with various fillings. I ordered the Chunky Strawberry Peach tea. The tea was nice, refreshing, and you could taste the fresh fruit in the drink. They also let you adjust the sugar and ice levels like other boba places. I also split a Matcha Taro Red Bean bun with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by the fluffy texture of the bread and how much filling there was. All of the staff were super nice and quick to help. Will definitely be coming back!

Saw this place on Insta and we were around the area so we decided to make a short trip here. When you're inside, it looked very fancy and not a typical bun/pastry place. There was a long swirly mirror table in the middle that displayed the pastries that they have. When you walk in, to your left there are the pastries, behind some sliding glass. If you're familiar with some of the Asian bakeries, you basically grab a plastic tray put some wax paper on it and pick up your metal tongs. From there you go through the glass and see what you want! Like I said before, it's not that typical even the selections so don't expect boring selections or CHEAP selections. They are NOT cheap at all. One pastry can go up to 7-8 dollars. But it's new and our first time so we tried to get a few selections. I really wanted to try the soft cream cheese garlic bread but we also got a cameral egg tart, the dirty buns (both matcha and chocolate) and the chicken avocado bread/bun. As we went to get checked out, it was a little confusing. There were some people standing around for their drinks and yeah make sure you don't drop your items! We didn't get any drinks but we found out Lelecha Wonder was also known for their drinks...oh well. We took these babies home!! After lunch tho cause we were hungryyyy and we wanted real food. Anyways - we tried the garlic cream cheese and I loved it! I only had a quarter cause we had some other items. I will tell you this, I had some for 2 more days and it was still good. Yes, the first day was better but it was still good. I will deff come to get this again. Another thing I would deff get is that caramel egg tart. I will be honest, I thought it would be like any other egg tart, how special could it be? Well...I was wrong! I admit it! and it's fine! It looks dense when you cut it in half but it's actually so light when you bite into it. I shared everything with my boyfriend but I sure as hell wished we got one each. The crust was flakey and the center was soft, jiggly and not overly sweet either! The chicken avocado wasn't too bad, deff a good savory choice if you aren't into sweets. The chicken isn't drink and flavorful enough. Now the dirty buns ; the matcha was alright. I don't really taste any sweetness and I honestly hate the heavy dusting of the matcha powder on time. The chocolate one is a different story - you see this big boy and think it'll be overly maybe it'll be too much cholate. NOPE! It's soft and has like light chocolate flavor that you won't regret and get diabetes! (I think...) So yeah, I'll go again to get the top two favorite - the garlic cream cheese and egg tart. I would like to try the other items we didn't try AND a drink.

Came here a week or two for the first time because I saw a new place to get boba. Lovely interior with a wide array of options. Friendly staff that welcomes you in and answers any questions you might have. I will be going back.

Lovely to see this bakery open in nyc. Drinks are very refreshing and breads are delicious as usual

Popular chinese bakery / boba shop now in NYC! Lines are very long but they have such a great variety of options and Asian flavors such as garlic cream cheese bread, fancy egg tarts and matcha bread. Glad there's a new Asian option to bring variety to the coffee shops in the Bryant Park area.

Nice food and environment. Really like their taro bun there. Will try next time. And the service is very good. They pack the bun for you.

Went there during their grand opening. The staff are so friendly and considerate. The line was pretty long, and they are offering umbrella for shade and water/samples to try. Taste is phenomenal, and with very nice vibe in there. Would revisit soon!

Big variety of sweets and refreshing drinks-- can toggle sweetness and ice level. Got the chunky strawb peach tea and it was really refreshing! Super cute aesthetic, good service

Matcha dirty buns were just bland... (bad, tbh). The whole thing is a weird combination of: a wrong texture (too hard & dry) of the bun body + a small scoop of flavorless creamy filling not sweet or savory + some dust of green tea powder on top which seems to be redundant for the rough bun body and doesn't elevate its flavor. I'm not sure what the recipe wants to showcase, but all the above mentioned just didn't work when you put it together. It feels the bakery tries too hard wanting to make it like special, but it tastes bad unfortunately. I honestly don't know what the hype these buns is about. Some suggestions to Lelecha: For the creamy filling and dust of green tea powder, they will go well on a more delicate or softer texture of the bun, puff, bread, or cake body. Also you definitely need to add favors in both the bun and the filling. If it's supposed to be a sweet bun, increase the sweetness flavor profile. It will go well with the green tea powder that's slightly bitter.

Came for the matcha dirty bun, butter caramel tart and honeydew coconut bliss, such enjoyable pastries 10/10. Would definitely be my go to breakfast spot for a quick meal.

Chinese chain now open in NYC with great pastries and tea/fruit drinks at pretty reasonable prices for the location. Pastries are self-served. Fun wheat-themed interior decoration too

Love their drinks! Always fresh and flavorful. Definitely my go-to tea spot. Their bakery looks really fresh and good! Need to try!

Great service and drinks were refreshing. Love the aesthetics. Pastries all look so good.

Nice place, yummy food with great services. Everyone was so nice and helpful!! Good samples and smells amazing.

My third time visiting here! Their egg tart is the best!! Hope they have more new items soon :)

Their baked goods are amazing. The walnut pastry was perfectly crunchy and not too sweet, and the egg tart had that rich, caramelized top I love. The drinks are absolutely refreshing!

Great ambience, unique selection of pastries and the drinks were so refreshing especially in this New York heat! You can also adjust the level of sweetness to the boba which I appreciate

Very disorganized. Ordered the strawberry peach tea BOGO and an oolong. They didn't originally realize it was the BOGO promotion and said they'd make it anyway but it would take time. Instead of BOGO the strawberry, gave me two of the oolong which is the cheaper drink. Tea itself is very ordinary

Efficient service and great selection of drinks and pastries! I got the grape smoothie.

The bakery looks cute and delicious. Staff are friendly. We also ordered tea and grape smoothie, all delicious.

LeLeCha never disappoints! The drinks are super fresh and tasty, especially the fruit teas. Great service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious and freshly baked breads -- you should definitely give them a try!

i got the caramel tart, avocado chicken bread and the strawberry peach chunky tea!! highly recommend them all

love their pastries. so happy to see they open in the US. i've been a fan. cool ambiance and layout.
