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.
