ANDO patisserie

Ando Patisserie is a small desserts shop located right outside the NYU campus, serving various Asian desserts. The inside doesn't have much seating (only 1 seat) but there is a lot of seating on the outside on the street. Staff is friendly, though seemed a bit overworked as there was only 1 in the front of house. The food did come out quite quickly though. There is quite a lot of options available at the place, though we decided to try the earl grey egg tarts. The egg tarts had a dusting of cocoa powder and also boba on top, with a decent amount of earl grey filling. Since we were here for a trip, we decided to wait until the next day to eat it, as we were told it would be ok if we did. However, it didn't seem to travel well. The cocoa dusting basically fell off most of the pastry, and the boba got cold and hard that it wasn't really that good. The egg tart itself was good, though a bit heavy on the cream. The rest of the pastries look good, but would probably be better eaten fresh and not overnight.

Love the calm vibes and the pastries look very good. Love the Asian flavor beverages they make like sesame. The jasmine pannacotta was soooo fragrant.

This is my favorite dessert shop 🥰The atmosphere feels upscale, and their creations are always innovative. They update their menu based on seasonal ingredients, and you can really taste the care and craftsmanship in every dessert. I can never walk by without stopping to buy something - highly recommended!

Came here for the lava seasame crepe roll and it did not disappoint. The crunchy flakes on top added texture to a creamy and most importantly, not to sweet, crepe roll. It’s so soft and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming here just for this. Will definitely be back to try every single one of these beautiful and unique treats.

Pricey for dessert but oh so good. Tried the oolong Basque cheesecake and it's decadent. Has a hint of Earl Grey Tea taste. Glad to have ran into it serendipitously
