Eunji Lee, the owner of Lysee, a pastry shop in Manhattan's Flatiron district, infuses her Korean heritage with French pastry training, viewing her creations as edible art. Her café features limited seating but a significant portion of the space dedicated to displaying pastries as museum pieces, reflecting her belief in the artistic value of desserts. While 70% of her revenue comes from take-out, Lee's reputation as a pastry chef, including awards from her tenure at Jungsik, drives interest in her innovative creations.
“Pastry is an edible art,” says Eunji Lee, emphasizing her desire for each pastry to be a unique creative masterpiece rather than mass produced.
The space at Lysee is designed to showcase desserts like art, reflecting Lee's philosophy that pastries deserve respect and should be displayed beautifully.
