From Lucie

"This tiny shop in the East Village from Lucie Franc de Ferriere is one of those “viral” places to get a piece of cake. There is usually a line snaking out of the front door of the store, which can only comfortably fit five or six people inside at a time. The majestically tall and flower-topped cakes are her signature and the thing you should definitely try on a first visit. She also makes great cookies, raspberry cheesecake brownies, and just a good old-fashioned slice of chocolate cake with salted dark chocolate and espresso buttercream." - Mike Chau

"Lucie Franc de Ferriere started her Instagram bakery during the pandemic, making floral-flourished sweets — odes to French countryside upbringing. In January, she opened her first brick-and-mortar that has garnered lines down the block for her moist mini chocolate cakes wrapped up in boxes that make them feel like presents." - Eater Staff, Melissa McCart

"Lucie Franc de Ferriere, who opened From Lucie in the East Village in early 2023 after pandemic-born social media success, said some people genuinely like lines because it makes them feel a part of something." - Emma Orlow

"The flower-covered cakes at From Lucie achieved cult status the moment this little East Village bakery opened its doors. Like seemingly everyone else in New York City, we’re fans. Stepping into the shop feels like walking inside a watercolor painting of a bakery in the French countryside. The cakes here are so aesthetically pleasing, you half expect them to have gallery representation, and they’re also really delicious. The most popular options are by-the-slice sheet cakes and adorable mini round layer cakes, but we highly recommend trying the impossibly light and delicate Victoria sponge if they have it. You will have to wait in line, but it’s worth it." - Carina Finn

"From Lucie, a cake pop-up known for its seasonally changing designs that incorporate fresh flowers, is putting down roots with a bakery in the East Village." - Emma Orlow
