Had the most wonderful Thai Tea Passionfruit cake at this bakery... I liked it so much that I asked to get a slice to go for my girlfriend. The staff was so kind, they decorated the slice for me! I brought it back home to her and she said it was the best tasting and most beautiful cake she's ever had, and I couldn't agree more!

Stopped by after shopping at Whole Foods 4 blocks away on a Saturday afternoon. Very trendy yet laid back bakery serving unique flavors but when I went, looks like a lot of things were sold out. We ordered: - A perfectly cozy and light lavender matcha - Americano (nothing special) - Moist with crunchy edges Date Walnut cookie (loved this) - Mocha cake (taste like heavy fudge with tiramisu cream. Recommend sharing this slice with others as its very dense and heavy for a single serving) Staff are very friendly. Nice vibes all around and will return to try other cakes and cookies.

My bridal party ordered the thai passion fruit cake here and it was stunning. With colorful flowers placed on top of the frosting, it went perfectly well with the garden themed party they had planned. The cake was as delicious as it looked, not too sweet with a surprisingly strong thai tea flavor. The passion fruit curd in between the cakes' layers were a nice complement and was tart and sweet. I think the curd could be a touch less sweet, but otherwise it was a cake to remember with its unique flavor combinations. Definitely will be back to try other flavors when I'm in the area :)

This was my second time ordering a custom cake from ByClio, and I was impressed with the way the team handled a technical issue that resulted in my order/receipt not showing up in their queue. When I showed up on my pickup day, they realized the issue but were still able to problem solve and get me a cake on that same day. They were able to decorate the cake as I had requested in my order and just use one of the monthly cakes as a base rather than creating a custom cake from scratch. That was an option presented to me, which was fine with me. Everyone was really kind, and I appreciate how helpful they were. The cake was Matcha Frosting, Thai Tea, and Passionfruit Curd. I asked for ombre green icing and minimalistic box cake-inspired decoration, which the team absolutely nailed. The passionfruit curd was definitely the star of the show and made the cake summer-y. The Thai tea and matcha were subtle flavors in comparison but were still present. The cake by itself is not moist, but eaten with the curd, the texture balances out perfectly. I did wish the matcha taste was more present; the frosting also had a slight tinge of sourness that reminded me of yogurt (but others I shared the cake with didn't seem to taste it).

Oh my god. I wish this place were closer to my home so I could come here every week to work and EAT CAKE. The cakes rotate so you never know what'll be in the case for the day but I'm so glad the mocha cake was available the day I came because it was beautiful. I adore the sprinkling of cacao powder atop and the cream to cake ratio. It was slightly reminiscent of tiramisu but with a deep chocolate flavor. So good. The barfi brownie took me by surprise with how spot on the taste of the barfi was, almost identical what you'd find in a south Asian sweet shop. The Turkish coffee cookie wasn't my favorite because of how thin, crumbly and hard it was. I think I would've preferred something a little thicker and chewier but flavor wise it packed a punch. There's free WiFi and plenty of seating. You can see the bakers at work behind the counter which is super cute. I'll definitely be back!

My gf got me the mocha tiramisu cake I would take a picture but it's aesthetic enough to post. But honestly I've had ByClio's cake 2x now and I'm never disappointed. Clio and her team just revolutionized cakes in my opinion. The way they bring together unique and rare flavors and when you take that first bite it just melts and harmonizes perfectly on your taste buds. Truly amazing . Service is also great they were so nice I heard there was a mixup in the orders and they were able to help my gf with a new cake with discount and a slice on the house which I ate . If you're interested in a unique cake experience come to byclio and get you some. You deserve it.

I had heard great things about this bakery on the net and from my friend who had visited for the weekend. We made this our mission one rainy, fall Saturday morning and make the 45 minutes train ride one way to taste the goodness that is ByClio. I'm here to say that this is one of the few times that a long train ride was absolutely worth the trip. ByClio is situated in an industrial building, with swatches of bright décor and kind staff. There is plenty of seating, and it is very quiet - which makes it perfect for a slow weekend morning. We were greeted with lovely cakes decorated with flowers and fruit-fillings. I settled for a fenugreek plum and basil cake which was light, pleasantly sweet, with a hint of savory flavoring from the basil. Hands down one of the best cakes I've ever had.

Probably the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen in my life - but the cakes are more than just for show - they are absolutely delicious! They have a cute little shop where you can enjoy some cake/pastries and have some coffee in Gowanus, just south of Whole Foods on 4th Avenue. The slices are definitely on the pricier side, but to me they are totally worth it. In addition to their normal shop, they also do custom cake orders. I ordered one for a friend for birthday, and the whole process was great! She asks you what flavors you want / don't want, and you are presented with a variety of options and can pick one. Ended up settling on a strawberry milk cake with blackberry filling and raspberry frosting, with matcha dust - the cake came out beautifully, and delicious to boot! If you are a cake lover, or want to get a real nice cake for a friend, ByClio is where it's at!

This cafe was discovered by my friend, and I can speak for my group when I say we had a great time! The cafe was located in an area you wouldn't expect a cute cafe to be found, but these usually are the best gems! The factory pipes on the ceiling highlighted this, but they add to the unique look. There was seating on both sides of the store, and everything you see on display is the menu. The cakes are seasonal, so expect fun new ones not shown in photos! The Umbers ($15) was the group favorite. It had a primarily coffee taste, with a fun brownie cookie bottom, although it was hard to fork through compared to the rest of the layers. The kumquat added a unique taste to it, although it tasted bitter to me by itself. The Thai Tea Passion ($12) was too sweet for me. It did have an authentic thai tea taste with some passion fruit icing as a layer. I thought the Matcha Made in Heaven ($12) was simply going to be Matcha, so I quite enjoyed the strawberry filling inside, along with a tart lemon infused in the cake. At first, I was skeptical. Pretty cakes almost usually never taste good. But these cakes proved me wrong in not only tasting of quality, but they also offered a unique blend of flavors in each cake. We also stayed at the cafe for a while without an uncomfortable feel to leave. If you're looking for fun cakes that taste just as good as they look, come check ByClio out!

IBy Clio & from Lucie both create high design confections too pretty to eat and at restaurant prices. By Clio has a magically large open space to enjoy those creations in the hip Gowanus hood. Ate: Lemon berry cake $12 Tandoori masala cookie $3.50 The cake with edible flowers was divine & the cookie had a complex flavor profile. If there were more chocolate creations on the menu By Clio is the more inviting spot for a sit down sweet.
