Step into Lady M, a chic dessert haven where delicate mille crêpe cakes melt in your mouth, served amid a striking white backdrop—perfect for a sweet escape.
"We’re incapable of walking by a Lady M without stopping in. Even if we manage to take a few steps past the entrance, we eventually turn around and give in to the gravitational pull of this dessert shop. Yes, they have a few “regular” cakes, but the mille crêpe cakes are Lady M’s real draw. They’re made with 20 super-thin crêpes stacked on top of each other with pastry cream spread between each one. We prefer the OG signature version, but there are a bunch of other flavors like green tea and butter pecan." - bryan kim, will hartman, hannah albertine, kenny yang
"A small shop with an icy white ambiance and no seating, the bakery chain pairs a French and Japanese sensibility and is known for its signature mille crepes." - Eater Staff
"We’re incapable of walking by a Lady M without stopping in. Even if we manage to take a few steps past the entrance, we eventually turn around and give in to the gravitational pull of this dessert shop. Yes, they have “regular” cakes like a vanilla-chocolate one that looks like a checkerboard when you cut it open. But the mille crêpe cakes are the real draw. They’re made with 20 super thin crêpes stacked on top of each other with pastry cream spread between each one. We prefer the OG signature version, but there are a bunch of other flavors like green tea and butter pecan. There’s nowhere to sit at this Rock Center location, so you might as well get a whole cake to go. It’s straight-up mean to eat a slice in front of someone without having one for them." - Kenny Yang
"Lady M is famous for the richness of its pastries. A slice of plain cheesecake was particularly highlighted as a paragon of the New York style, creamy with a slight tang. The passion fruit version of the matcha mille-feuille was also delightful." - Eater Staff
"Even those who are not big on dessert can appreciate the paper-thin layered crêpe cakes that made Lady M. Confections so famous—not too sweet, and with a delicate consistency that literally melts in your mouth. The interiors of all nine international locations are kept strictly stark-white, with the cakes displayed like precious jewels on tiny podiums: there’s the Checkers cake, a chocolate gâteau, tarts, and so much more. While the original outpost is on the UES, the two Midtown boutiques are a blessing when a 3pm sugar craving kicks in. "
