Keki Modern Cakes

I’ve always loved the bouncy cheesecake and cream puffs from Let’s Bounce – Powered By Keki! Their flavors are consistently delicious, and the Valentine’s Day limited-edition heart-shaped red velvet cake was such a treat. They also participated in a street festival we produced in August at Columbus Park, and I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin and Ajay—truly the nicest people. Their energy and kindness matched the joy their desserts bring. Highly recommend both the sweets and the team behind them!

Small bakery located in Chinatown! Smells amazing as soon as you walk in. They even have a kiosk for you to order ahead. I got the original and forgot to take a picture :( But it was soo good and warm!

Fun spot in Chinatown serving fluffy Japanese-style cheesecakes and cute, bouncy desserts. The cheesecakes are light, jiggly, and perfectly sweet. Service is friendly and fast, and the shop feels cheerful and modern—great for a quick treat or dessert stop after a meal.

A must have every single time I am in NYC for either work or just visiting family. Anyone that comes to visit me know they can get rides from me if they bring me one of their Ube Cheesecake 🤭 Closest Japanese Cheesecake you will find in the USA in comparison to the ones in Japan! Their Cream Puffs are amazing as well. Their dessert aren’t overly too sweet like most places. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Worth the Awkward Wait: The Fluffiest Cheesecake You'll Ever Eat Giving Keki Modern Cake 4 stars is a testament to the sheer, undeniable quality of their famous fluffy cheesecake. This is a classic example of a product being so phenomenal it forces you to overlook significant flaws in the customer experience—but those flaws are certainly present. Let's start with the star: the cheesecake. It is an absolute revelation. The texture is unlike anything else—incredibly light, airy, and bouncy, almost like a soufflé. It’s often served warm, boasting a perfect balance of creamy cheese flavor without being overly sweet or heavy. It truly melts in your mouth and is easily a five-star dessert, justifying the high price tag on quality alone. This cake is genuinely a must-try for any dessert lover. However, the in-store experience is where Keki severely falls short. The space itself is small and poor-looking, lacking the appeal you'd expect from a shop selling a premium product. More critically, the service needs major improvements. Upon entering the tiny store, two counter employees proceeded to completely ignore us. There was no greeting, no eye contact, and the silence was so awkward that I had to ask if the store was even open. For such a pricy product, customers deserve a minimum level of basic hospitality. Ultimately, the quality of the legendary jiggly cheesecake carries the weight and earns Keki four stars. You should absolutely go for the cake, but be prepared for a quick, uninviting, and disappointingly cold interaction. Management needs to immediately address staff training and storefront presentation to match the excellence of what they serve. No room to dine in, no coffee, tee or anything other than few items!
