🍰 NYC's Hype-Worthy Dessert Spot? | Ando

A tiny, minimally-seated bakery in NYC, Ando draws crowds for its Instagrammable Asian-inspired treats. We visited on a quiet afternoon and tried two of their most talked-about items — with mixed results. 🍵 Matcha Basque Cheesecake ($15) Smooth, rich, and pleasant — but not extraordinary. Similar quality to many local bakeries. 🍠 Salted Egg Yolk & Taro Puff ($16 for 3) Disappointingly mild in flavor, with a heavy, cloying filling. Even as a sweets-lover, I found half a puff overwhelming. Cute for a photo, but the taste doesn’t quite match the hype. If I return, it’ll be for the pork floss cakes or taro boxes — but expectations will be low. 📍 Ando – NYC 💰 $10–$20 per item #AndoNYC #NYCDesserts #AsianBakery #Overhyped #NYCEats #NotWorthIt #NYCFoodie #SweetTooth #NYCBakeries #ManageExpectations #NYCDining
