Tucked away at 47 8th Avenue in the West Village, AnnTremet Cake has become a social media sensation and local favorite since its founding in 2018. This charming boutique bakery specializes in what might be the most photogenic desserts in all of NYC – their signature mirror-glazed mousse cakes that transform simple ingredients into edible works of art. The name itself comes from the French word “entremet,” meaning mirror-glazed cake, cleverly combined with founder Annabelle’s name.

The star attraction that’s put AnnTremet on the map is undoubtedly their viral bunny cheesecake – an adorable spherical creation that has customers lining up and earning “an 8 out of 10 for having a tangy light flavor underneath all that beauty.” But the bakery’s artistry extends well beyond their signature bunny, with a rainbow of “colorful delights to entice you,” each one showcasing precise French pastry techniques with modern flavor combinations like matcha-yuzu and chocolate-hazelnut.

What truly sets AnnTremet apart is their commitment to quality ingredients. Their desserts are crafted with “low-sugar recipes and natural ingredients” that let the flavors shine without overwhelming sweetness. Beyond just grabbing a cake to go, many visitors now come for their increasingly popular afternoon tea experience, where “beautifully crafted pastries” are paired with “wonderful teas” in a cozy setting.

While the small space means reservations are essential for afternoon tea, the friendly staff and meticulous attention to detail make AnnTremet Cake a must-visit destination for anyone seeking both visual spectacle and genuine flavor in their dessert experience.
