Lady M Cake Boutique

Never had a crêpe cake before. My coworker actually recommended this place to me during my visit in New York, and I was not disappointed. Though the outstanding pricing of the cakes humored me ($ 8 a slice), I just know I had to try one of their cakes regardless of pricing. This place is a small cake shop offering the option to dine in or order ahead. I ordered a slice of the green tea mille crêpe cake. It’s very light and fluffy with a strong matcha taste to it. Not bad for my first experience with a crêpe cake. Good quality for a cake.

Best mille crepes! I’ve tried many flavors but the classic vanilla really is the best. Green tea and strawberry is also fantastic.
There aren’t that many tables in here but if you pick up a slice and take a walk to the park, it’s lovely and you’ll probably enjoy it more!

This Lady M location is actually my favorite. The Bryant Park location is so incredibly crowded that this one is my go-​to spot (especially since I work just down the block from it). I love all of Lady M’s cakes; however, it really depends on the mood. Matcha mille crêpe is good, but I do feel that it is a little on the heavier side. It is a bit bitter and the taste lingers which may contribute to the «heavy» when compared to their Signature. I am a big fan of their Signature as well as the Lemon. The Lemon mille crêpe is light, and tastes somehow like a cheesecake (Which I also very much love). The strawberry cake (not mille crêpe) was delicious and light. The checkered cake is also very delicious! They all were moist and not too sweet. Honestly, you really can’t go too wrong with Lady M cakes.

Everyone raves about their green tea but their original is the best in my opinion. If you want to avoid the long lines for the table service, get it to-​go and enjoy it at Bryant Park! :)

Very good, not heavy cake. Highly recommended… Not the usual cake! The layers are so thin and the cream between so delicious. I tried the vanilla one and the green tea. Looking forward to try the chocolate one. The vanilla is so confirming and the green tea is so refreshing.
Do yourself a favor and try it :)

While they are known for their crêpe cakes (my favorite is the green tea) — don’t be afraid to branch out and try the other pastries! They have the lightest, fluffiest cake I have ever tasted and the frosting is never too sweet. The checkers cake and strawberry shortcake are so delicious that I always want to purchase extra slices for later.
Yes, it is pricey at around $ 8/​slice, but totally a worthwhile indulgence. This location has table service but be aware that 18% gratuity is automatically added to your tab. Just stay in the line and someone will take down your name/​quote a wait time. We only waited about 10 minutes on a Sunday afternoon with 4 parties in front of us.

The Mille Crêpe is the best! Smooth and so delicious. I like their white decorating as well but the service’s unfriendly which is not good.

Place so tiny we missed it the first time and had to circle back to find it. Automatic 18% gratuity if you sit down and the place is tiny. The crêpe cakes are just a novelty. Yes it’s labor intensive but I prefer real cake texture better than crepes so these weren’t my favorite. Flavors were nice though, not overly sweet and the cream sure was light & fluffy. The chestnut cake and strawberry Mille feuille were much better in my opinion. If the weather’s nice I recommend taking your precious cakes to go to enjoy in Central Park.

$ 8 a slice and they automatically add an 18% gratuity tip if you choose to dine in. So I suggest only sitting down if you’re with tourists or really have nowhere to eat the delicious crêpe cake. Or pull a Blair Waldorf and eat it on the Met steps lol
I’ve tried all of Lady M’s desserts and the green tea crêpe cake is definitely my favorite. Trust me, it’s worth the hype. Not too sweet, just enough cream, beautiful layers, it’s light but not so light that you don’t taste the green tea. So good!

Stopped here to pick up some dessert for the family.
My favorite is the green tea crêpe followed by lemon version. My favorite characteristic is how light the desserts are. Although I took my order to go I revoked this place for a sit down date if you can but note it gets crowded so I would recommend getting a table in the back away from the line the can wrap out the door.

A really little shop — tables are small circles that are really only meant to seat two, but we managed three (with very, very limited room). Service was attentive but a little fast; I would have appreciated being able to feel more relaxed.
Savories were good, but not great for the price and size, tea was good but $ 8 for a small pot (fills about two cups) is a little steep, but the cakes were really, really lovely. We tried the original Mille crêpe, the famous green tea, and the strawberry shortcake. The original Mille was nice because of the slight crust on the top layer, as well as being just sweet enough to still feel light. The green tea was delicious, but I still think I preferred the original. The strawberry shortcake was also very light with great, light cream — I don’t even like strawberry shortcake and I really liked it.
Everyone really enjoyed everything, but we’ll probably come back only for dessert next time.

— Tried these cakes and they were all tasty and light: Checkers (favorite one out of these three), Tarte au Citron, and the Lady M Mille Crepes

Delicious cakes! Not too much variety but those they have are very good. The price is on the higher side, with a slice of cake costs about 7 – 8 dollars, but I think it’s worth for the quality and matches the classiness of this place.
Try the Mont Blanc, which is a cup cake covered with rich cream and chestnut purée, topped with candied chestnut. Very tasty with just the right amount of sweetness for you to really taste the chestnut. One bite and I die and go to heaven and come back to have more. Hands down among the best Mont Blac I have ever tasted.
The Signature Mille Crêpe is made of layers of handmade crêpe and pastry cream. Very light and you can tell this is made with exquisite details. Although still good, this tastes a bit bland, especially if you have this right after the rich Mont Blanc. I would recommend having this with a stronger taste drink.
The Checkered cake looks interesting. Vanilla and chocolate sponge cake patterned into checkerboard then covered with chocolate ganache. In a whole wide world, this is delicious but pale in comparison with the unique Mille Crêpe and Mont Blanc.
Have the cakes with thick and rich Moccachino. There are only a handful of small tables that sits 2, or at most 3 if the store is not crowded and enjoy life with every bites and sips. It’s worth it.

Beautiful atmosphere to indulge your sweet tooth! I keep hearing about Lady M and just happened by this location accidentally.
Inside you will find lovely fresh flowers, a peaceful atmosphere and table service. The table service increases the cost. You can purchase whole cakes or order a slice. The average cost for a slice is between $ 5 – 9.00.
After I inquired about the ingredients I decided to pass today. My allergies couldn’t take it. The employee was very gracious explaining the ingredients in detail so I would be sure not to overdose on something that might cause a problem.
I have friends to entertain at times. I’m sure this would be a great place to share a sweet experience. I’ll come back and try one of the little chocolate treats!
In the mean time please enjoy! Let me know what you think!

It was 2^nd visit today.
I wanted to try this fluffy cake once more
so ordered 6 slices.
But today i have a disappointment.
Not the taste of delicate cake but because of their cheap portion… if they price the cake $ 8 a piece and called themselves cake boutique, they must present cake w better attitude. Perfect size, appropriate slice. The ladies work there all of them.
Like if they r trying to cut slices as less as they can… As consumer i didn’t want to come back again… The slices were just not enough to say satisfied.

A fancy, expensive dessert bakery. Upon entering the café, I thought this place is too fancy for me. The place was immaculate. The café has an all white theme. The counter has perfectly arranged desserts on display. All the while, the staff is carefully cutting cakes or wrapping up desserts and just working away seamlessly. Then I took a bite of the green tea mille crêpe and ignored those thoughts.
The cake is as delicious as it looks. I’m a fan of the flavor of green tea. I find it refreshing. I enjoy a dessert that is sweet but too sweet. The pastry cream filling was so creamy. There was a lot of cream, but each layer was spread thinly, so it wasn’t too heavy.
At $ 8 a slice, it is indeed expensive. But isn’t that how much dessert at most restaurants cost nowadays? I have seen crêpe cakes in other dessert places for around the same price, if not a $ 1 less.
In my mind, I justified the cost thinking this is a very time-​consuming cake to make. You would have to cook each crêpe at a time, maintaining a consistent shape and size. Then you have to layer the crepes, add filling, and repeat. Then decorate it, all the while being careful with your movements so as not to damage the delicate crepes. Finally you must be extra careful cutting the cake so as not to deflate it and ruin all that hard work.
We also got a coffee & tea, which was served with simple syrup on the side. A nice touch as I appreciate being able to control the sweetness.
As much as I enjoyed it, I did not enjoy the 18% dine-​in fee or mandated gratuity. I mean I can understand if a restaurant is serving a large party or a private event. I would have been more enticed to tip if they didn’t force you to do so, just for sitting at a small table. Considering the cake is already on the pricey side, adding a somewhat hidden fee is just ridiculous. They could have at least made this fee more transparent before a customer sits down at a table. Once we left, it became so clear to me why so many people ordered their desserts to go and sat outside to eat it.
With that being said, I still liked the cake, just not the pretentious gratuity fee.

Was on my way to the Met when I realized there’s a Lady M between the 6 train and the museum. I was so excited! Heard so much about the mille crêpe cakes, and it was time for a snack anyways.
Treated myself to the green tea mille crêpe cake and a cup of coffee. Amazingly delicious. You really must make a point to go to one of the locations when in New York. This one in particular is nestled into the residential area of UES, so it’s not too bustling. But because the Lady M name has become quite well-​known with tourists, there can be a wait for a table if you want to eat your purchase (s) inside.
Definitely will keep coming back to Lady M for my #treatyourself occasions!

I think this place might be my new obsession!
I was skeptical about trying this place at first, because of how pricey it is. You get a small slice of cake for $ 8. But they are famous for their Mille crêpe cakes so I decided to try the matcha green tea flavor. I wasn’t expected much, but I was blown away of how good it was! You can truly taste the matcha & the crepes in there & the texture of the cream was light & airy. It was so good, I was trying to eat it slowly just so I don’t finish it all. It had just the right amount of sweetness but not overpoweringly sweet that you’ll feel like you’ll get cavities. They also have other flavors such as vanilla & chocolate. I didn’t try them but the next time I’m back I definitely will!
It was a tiny bakery inside but you were able to dine in. The décor was all white which made it look really cute & classy. Keep in mind that if you choose to dine in, your table will get charged 18% gratuity no matter how big or small your party is.
Customer service was great! When we finished our cakes & paid, my friends & I just sat at our table chatting & they were in no way rushing us to leave & we sat for quite a while as well!

Was able to partake in some Strawberry Mille Fuelli, and it was devine… Light fluffy yet crunchy, not too sweet. This isn’t run of the mill stuff here price wise, but then again, eating this everyday would have dire consequences to your bathroom scale.
Check them out when you want something special!

Let me raise my pinky as I sip on tea and nibble at some dainty desserts!
This is definitely the place to go if you want a darlingly cute or classy experience for cake. I was just visiting the city for the weekend, and thank goodness I have friends who know what they’re doing, because they introduced me to some of the best cake ever at Lady M! It’s often difficult for me to find delicate cakes that aren’t too sweet or heavy, but Lady M hit the balance just right for me. I especially loved the green tea mille cake (classic, I’m sure), but seriously everything looked so good (pull out your cameras to win some Instagram hearts easily here!).
The only caveat is the steep price for what it is (um, technically mostly sugar and butter and flour???). I have to admit though, those crêpe cakes look like it might require some legit manual labor/​artistic flair so perhaps that’s part of the cost. But hey, don’t we all deserve a little bit of a splurge in treating ourselves sometimes? At least that’s going to be my rationale for coming back at the next opportunity! ;)

Très bon mais cher. Le cheesecake est très bon. Nous avons aussi goûté le gâteau de crêpes au chocolat: excellent! Comptez 8 $ la part de gâteau!

Je suis tjrs le sympa fans de mocha! J’enlevé une étoile à cause de ce chéri prix…
