LÀ LÁ Bakeshop bringing Vietnamese desserts to 2nd Avenue

Photos by Steven 

LÀ LÁ Bakeshop, a Toronto-based Vietnamese bakery, is opening its first NYC outpost at 73 Second Ave. between Fourth Street and Fifth Street. 

We spotted a small sign on the door and tracked down the owners, who confirmed the arrival later this fall.
The Bakeshop, described as "a modern Vietnamese bakery for all," specializes in "nostalgic Asian desserts." 

Per its website:
We're coming to the East Village this Fall ... And we can't wait to introduce you to the Salted Egg Pork Floss Cake — the best cake you've never heard of. (Somehow, the Vietnamese have managed to keep it a secret for this long.) We know, we know, it sounds bizarre, but you might just love it. 
You can follow the opening news via Instagram. 

The cafe-bakery Cinnamon Girl quietly closed here last year after 18 months.

    This is very exciting. I peeped their bakeries in Google Maps and have my eye on the salted egg croissants.

    Hello,

    This is Tung, owner of LÀ LÁ Bakeshop NYC. Thank you very much for the post. We are wrapping up renos at the moment (our new facade is up and signage will be going on soon!). Hopefully we could open our doors soon in October! Our team is very excited to bring a taste of Vietnam to East Village and NYC!
