Description
Pronounced LEE-ZAY, the shop formats its confections like gallery displays, serving a menu of viennoiserie, patisserie, and gâteaux de voyage. The flavor profiles are delicate and well-balanced, featuring unique pairings like the sujungwa latte and strawberry matcha cookies. However, the experience carries a high price point, and some guests note mixed service and underwhelming tea options.
