What to know
Chim Chim opened to fill a gap in New York’s dessert scene: a place that honors Southeast Asian desserts beyond the usual tropes. The founders combined family recipes and bakery technique to elevate flavors like pandan, gula melaka, and coconut into refined pastries and beverages. In a compact Gramercy storefront, the bakeshop makes those flavors accessible to curious locals and longtime émigrés alike, creating a small but meaningful cultural exchange through food.
