Là Lá Bakeshop
73 2nd Ave, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Là Lá Bakeshop is a late-opening Southeast Asian bakery that's earned serious Instagram fame for its viral longan jasmine cake and creative house-made pastries like salted egg yolk buns and pandan cream coffee drinks. Beyond the Instagram-worthy sweets, the cozy spot wins hearts with genuinely attentive service and an adventurous menu that spans everything from durian to taro sticky rice, making each visit feel like a small culinary discovery rather than a routine coffee run.”

I rarely publicly share my thoughts, but Là Lá Bakeshop not only has wonderful cake (we had their viral longan jasmine cake for NYE 2025) but also incredible service - after a small mishap, they quickly went above and beyond to prepare their new tangerine jasmine cake in time for my baby sister’s birthday! I highly recommend trying their cakes; they’re fresh and light, with great flavor and texture! Looking forwards to whatever new great cake they come up with next! 😋😊
I came here by follow from instagram, I have longan jasmine tea cake and cream from coffee with pandan , its were so good . I love both. And also have interesting menu as durian , taro sticky rice and coconut pandan sticky rice as well , I would try next time. For the bun also has various choices as well. Scallion sausage / butter, garlic cream / salted egg lava / matcha / taro . Efc . All looks yummy!!! Just a small shop with minimal decoration, staff were nice. Recommend!!
I tried their mini cakes before and it so delicious , so I came back for the buns. The salted egg is amazing. Soft bun, creamy filling. Really satisfying and would come back again.
They were doing BOGO 50% off, that was a surprise! The cream cheese garlic bun was good, but the pork floss salted egg yolk did not live up to the hype! There was no egg yolk taste, and the pork floss needs more flavor and salt…. The ube cake powder on top was too much, but the durian one has a little hint of real durian. But it’s not worth that price!
Got the salted egg yolk pork floss bun. It was good but not mind blowing. I was slightly disappointed - wish the salted egg yolk was more flavorful and bun was warmer. Service was great tho. Lovely staff and customer service.
