Eleni’s New York

Cupcakes bakery always catch my attentions, always somehow. So why not give it a try. Since the last time I was in nyc I tried the cute mini cupcakes «baked by Melissa» and wasn’t too impressed by it. So since I’m already waiting to eat I was wandering around the Chelsea market and stumbled upon this place. Got in line and waited to be helped I seriously had to repeat myself about three time to the female cashier that I wanted to buy cupcakes. She just kept saying what? What? Then thought I asked her if it was cupcakes. I didn’t asked her if it’s cupcakes? Obviously, I know what it is. But whatever, it didn’t bother me. I got my cupcakes afterward, then as she was ringing me up I asked her about the 1 $ off for Oreo cupcake since I did get one she just said she never heard of it. If she never heard of it, then why is it on there ?
Anywho, I got home and tried one. I’m not too impressed with the texture and icing either. Not the best cupcake I’ve ever had. It was just okay. The best cupcakes I’ve had so far is DC cupcakes from Boston. Ma. After customer service here today I don’t think I’ll come back here again.

Cupcake happy hour is an amazing deal, but the prices are expensive otherwise. Cupcake flavored change frequently.

Eleni’s is located inside of Chelsea Market. The store is adorable. They have so many cute decorated cookies and lots of New York inspired cookies. My only problem is the price. $ 3.25−10 for one cookie? Also the cookie I got was a bit stale and hard… :-(
The chocolate covered cheesecake cupcake was so good! I paid around $ 4 (not too bad for New York, i guess) but the cupcake is a little small. I wish they were a little bigger. Maybe I’m used to Sprinkles cupcakes in Texas and everything is bigger in Texas, am I right? lol
My review is more like a 3.5. The staff here is really friendly and everyone had a smile on their face. Ooooo and if you check in Unilocal they’ll take off $ 1 off of a cupcake! I recommend coming during their happy hour for their cheaper prices (6−8pm for 40% off).

Ordered 15 custom cupcakes with a photo in the icing yesterday at 12pm and they were ready for pick-​up at Chelsea Market this morning. Stuart and James put together our order and were super patient and helpful over the phone.
The cupcakes were a big hit with our team because the photo we chose was so hi-​res that every hilarious detail we included could be seen clearly. They were perfect!
The ladies at the counter who gave our order to us had a great sense of humor and were super sweet. Highly recommend this place!

My boyfriend and I were on our way to BK for a game night. My boyfriend works in the area and we needed a last minute ‘something’ to bring with us. I had suggested dough, but my boyfriend was like, let’s try Eleni’s. I’m always up for trying new things and I’m pretty sure my boyfriend is set to try every bakery, doughnuttery, cupcakery, etc in the tri-​state area, it would make sense he’d want to try Eleni’s.
When we walked in, it was sort of dead, so we wondered around for a bit checking out all the different cookies. While they are super cute, it was also a little pricey. It’s hand iced cookies, it’s chelsea market, touristy area, I get it. Then, one of the girls mentioned to us in like 10 minutes, 6 o’clock, it’s cupcake happy hour! 40% off for everything behind the counter. Discount you say? But I have to wait 10 minutes? I think I can handle that. We picked out our cupcakes, and I noticed a sign, they were working with a new system for the register. Okay, so we were patient… checking out seemed to be giving the girls trouble.
Get in the car, and I notice the receipt has an additional charge on it. Like an additional box of cupcakes charge. Like I said, I get it, it was a new system they were working with. I called the store, spoke with giuseppe. He was super nice and spent a lot of time calling me back to work out the additional charge — which I will add, has been worked out, thank you. Customer service is definitely on point.
The cupcakes themselves were a little dry for my taste, but it could have been the time of day. But the frosting was perfect. I’m not usually a fan of frosting because it’s WAY too sweet, but this was perfect. We got:
Black and White
Red Velvet
Salted Caramel
Mint Chocolate Chip
Apple Crumble
Chocolate Ganache
Cheesecake
Oreo
Boston Cream
We’ll be going back, but during cupcake happy hour.

Eleni’s is my go to Happy Place. I can list a 1000 reasons why to go to Eleni’s. You cannot leave that place in a bad mood. I love the cookies and the cupcakes I think are awesome. Maybe the other people did get them on an off day. I am lucky to work near here!!!
And I will say this: Whenever I order online to have gifts sent to people or clients, I get RAVE reviews. Everyone loves them. And doubly cool is the products are Kosher and Nut Free so you can send to kids. The box sets are off the charts amazing/​cool.

My friend is allergic to nuts so obviously Eleni’s became our go-​to cupcake shop. We usually go during happy hour so it’s really cheap for a pack of 4 cupcakes.
My Favorites Are: Chocolate Cheesecake, Salted Caramel, Mint Chocolate, Coffeecake and Chocolate flourless. Simply amazing.

I just had the flourless chocolate cupcake with cream cheese frosting! Everything here is delicious from the cookies to the cupcakes I love it here and we came for happy hour cupcakes for 40%off from 6:30 — 8:30= heaven!!!

Their desserts are just so adorable! I couldn’t resist stopping by here to get something before leaving. I didn’t get the cupcakes since I wasn’t planning to go home anytime soon and the cookies would last longer. I got three cookies, one dinosaur and 2 hippos. The two hippos I shared with my boyfriend and I. I gave the dinosaur to my friend. We all gobbled up the cookies really fast. If I’m in the city next time, I will definitely try my best to stop by here again to bring back for my family to try. Thanks for the yummy experience Eleni’s New York!

The Chelsea Market is adorable. When we made it down to Eleni’s, there was absolutely no way we could pass it up. It was so stinking cute and vibrant.
Almost everything was sugar cookies. But y’all. The presentation. Those cookies were some of the cutest I have ever seen. They had so many different themes and occasions! I’m pretty sure you could request just about anything and they’d be up for the challenge.
The one thing that made me kind of sad was that I didnt see one chocolate chip cookie. BUT then I saw the cupcakes, and those were all KINDS of chocolate!
Check-​in right now and you get a dollar off the Oreo cupcake! Which I happened to get. Although as people have said they do have a happy hour discount behind the window!
The staff was so kind and even gave me a little coupon for online orders! I will say I gave this place three stars because I wasn’t too blown away with the taste (a little dry), but the presentation was over the top :)!

I love love love their 40% off everything behind the glass after 6:30pm deal however I wasn’t impressed with their cupcakes. The red velvet was not moist and I didn’t really enjoy the frosting. I love the different designs of their cookies though.

I loved elenis. I think their cupcakes are far better than magnolias. I had the chocolate with white frosting and I am normally not a fan of frosting but this one is so light and fluffy and yummy. Perfect if you don’t like frosting that is too sweet or heavy. Will be back whenever I’m at chelsea market.
Edit — they are normally great cupcakes but one day I did get a sub par cupcake. Maybe it was an off day or they sold me a stale one who knows.

You can get Eleni’s at LGA and JFK now but something is just so special about visiting the shop in real life. Cookies are cutely frosted (Dino cookie anybody?) but honestly the cookies are about average.
I’d recommend the crispy butterscotch cookie for something uniquely Eleni’s.

This place is very pricey for what you get. The cupcakes aren’t amazing as say, Molly’s or Georgetown, but there is a silver lining!
Hold off until 6pm and come for the «Happy Hour» when everything is 40% off. That’s right, those overpriced cupcakes and cookies will satisfy your sweet tooth cravings.
Everyone that works there has always been super accommodating and friendly when I’ve stopped in.

Loin de la grisaille et du fog qui venait couvrir la «Big Apple», le Chelsea Market, tout comme peut l’être le Farmer’s Market de l’autre côté du pays à L.A., est une de ces haltes incontournables qui rompt avec le ‘Mall traditionnel’ impersonnel et dépourvu de charme.
Oui mais voilà, même si le cadre y est, le goût n’y est pas…
On né pourra pas reprocher le manqué de choix à cette boutique, qui avec ses nombreux Cupcakes aux milles et une couleurs, oblige tout passant à saisir l’instant de cette charmante Bakery aux saveurs colorées.
Une fois laissé tenté par un des biscuits, présentés et proposés en dégustation, on se dit qu’on né peut pas s’arrêter en si bon chemin. On parcourt alors de long en large l’interminable vitrine et arrête alors son choix sur le «Special one».
Une fois passé en caisse et attablé dans la galerie, on se dit que c’est cher payé pour autant de crème.
Pas vraiment fan du produit à la base, je m’attendais néanmoins à un Cupcake moins lourd et moins riche en matière grasse, avec un biscuit qui se singulariserait et le différencierait de ceux habituellement goûtés.
Je vous recommande vivement de vous pavaner aux détours des nombreuses boutiques du Chelsea Market et de cette boutique.
Les allergiques à la crème, privilégiez un café ou un jus d’orange pressé!

I live in West Chelsea, so I had walked by Eleni’s a ton of times without going in as I thought the cupcakes looked too manufactured & fake to be good and too expensive as well ($ 3.95 each).
Until one day after work, I noticed the 6pm-​8pm «Cupcake Happy Hour» sign — you get 40% off, plus another 10% off your next purchase with your receipt. So, at a $ 2 price, I decided to try the cupcakes, and honestly, I wasn’t disappointed.
I like that the frosting isn’t overly sweet and the cake not dry like Magnolia. Billy’s Bakery is my favorite, but I think Eleni’s might be a close tie for me… But Only During Happy Hour, because I do agree with other Unilocalers who think that Eleni’s is pricey.
My favorites are the Lemon (doesn’t sound like it would be good, but it is) and the Boston Cream.

Yum! Cupcakes are on the pricier side, $ 2.95 if my memory is correct, but they are adorable and delicious. For the salted caramel cupcake, the cake is moist, the cream is not too sweet and just the way I like it – the only thing is that the cream is a laid on a bit too thick, but I just whipped off the extra cream with a napkin.
The red velvet whoopie pie was deliiccccious, it was $ 4 and held up well overnight (yeah I like to take my time). Service was super sweet and friendly, if you bring in your receipt from any purchase to your next time at Eleni’s, they give you a 10% off discount! It doesn’t expire, either!
The iced cookies taste great and can be fun gifts for anyone. Would definitely go back for my sweet tooth and for gifts!

located in chealsea market by 9ave/​15^st
when you walk in, located left side. you can find right away!
cute stuff
i think after6pm, cookies are on sale. how many %? about 40% as i remember

Tourist trap in Chelsea Market.
The cupcakes and cookies are WAY over-​priced and looks like a kid decorated them. Seriously, look at the pictures yourself, it’s absolutely rubbish. They had wedding ones, baby ones, Easter ones, etc. They come individually for sale, or packed in boxes to give as gifts. I would be ashamed to give these as gifts to be honest. I just can’t get over the price per cookie, where’s the WOW factor to justify the price tag people?

En plein Chelsea Market, Eleni’s vous forcera à la halte ! Avec sa vitrine aux couleurs acidulés et à ses créations complètement originales, impossible de pas s’arrêter pour prendre des photos et immortaliser tout ça: des layer cake, des ces robes poupées absolument impressionnantes, des gâteaux Disney sur 3 voire 4 étages… Ces gâteaux sont complètement fous.
Et puis bon, tout ça nous donne envie, on a pas pris de petit déj, et on avait envie de changer un peu des pancakes et des classiques Starbucks. Du coup, on entre pour un cupcake et un café frappé!
Les prix sont un peu plus cher que la moyenne des cupcakes que j’avais pu voir, mais rien non plus de trop choquant. Le café frappé m’a beaucoup plu, le cupcake en revanche un peu moins. Bön, déjà, c’est de la crème au beurre écœurante (#beurk), et le gâteau un peu sec. Bön, ça passé quand même hein, mais j’avoue que j’ai connu meilleur petit déj.
Allez-​y quand même parce que les gâteaux sont vraiment jolis (et aussi parce que Chelsea Market c’est trop bien)!

BAKE SALE WHEN THE JOINT CLOSES AT 9PM. Buy you some cupcakes. Buy you some holiday-​themed cookies that have black frosting on them that turns your teeth blue after eating and your poop green the next day (sorry all y’all delicate Eleni’s Ny Cookies Unilocal readers out there, but it’s true. Make some black frosting at home and find out if you don’t believe me).
The sugar cookies are great. The coffee cake cupcakes are to die for. What a sugary dream.

2.9 stars.
Very cute and fancy store with delightfully well-​decorated and well-​packaged cookies. However, CRAZY pricey. Like $$$$$. CHA-​ching!
I got the box of chocolate chip cookies so that I could bring it back to LA with me. The flavor is quite good but the crispy texture does not really make it taste «homemade» as is advertised on the box.
Overall, pretty average cookie for a wonky price. But maybe the other singly packaged cookies are better? I will never know… I think this cookie shop is only suitable for fancy special occasion gifts.

Très bon cookies ! En plein Chelsea market un peu cher mais ça vaut le déplacement!!!

Nichts für Diabetiker!
Mein persönlicher Geschmack waren die Cupcakes leider nicht. Ist sicherlich Gewöhnungssache, aber mir wars zu süß und die jeweiligen Geschmacksrichtungen waren nicht so stark ausgeprägt.
