1. Doughnut Plant
New York, NY 10002
(212) 505-3700
Categories:
Donuts,
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
I kind of don't want to post this review. 666 reviews is so fitting--so much pleasure surely must be the devil's work.
Any time people tell me they're visiting New York, Doughnut Plant is one of the first places I tell them to go to. The first time I…More »
2. Kee's Chocolates
New York, NY 10012
(212) 334-3284
Category:
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: South Village
I had a boutique chocolate phase two years ago, which I haven't recovered from (I am still a total chocolate snob). Before I lived here, I would have my friend, whose boyfriend at the time lived in the city, bring me back chocolates from different…More »
3. ChikaLicious Dessert Bar
New York, NY 10003
(212) 995-9511
Categories:
Desserts,
Coffee & Tea,
Wine Bars
Neighbourhood: East Village
I've walked by this place in the past several times in the past, but it seemed so small, it was a little intimidating. If I don't know what's up, then the percentage of people who don't know what's going on to those who do is much higher in a smaller…More »
4. Momofuku Milk Bar
New York, NY 10003
(347) 577-9504
Categories:
Bakeries,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: East Village
The first time I visited Milk Bar was on a Saturday night, possibly after I'd met up with a friend for early dinner. Though I'd eaten, I saw Milk Bar and thought, "Behold! Salty dessert, also known as Anna's way of justifying eating something after a…More »
5. The Treats Truck
I was a little obsessed with The Treats Truck. I used to check the schedule on a weekly basis, but it was never where I was. I mean, I could have taken the subway, but isn't that the whole point of a traveling Truck (with a capital T, yes)? That the…More »
6. Insomnia Cookies
New York, NY 10011
(212) 228-2373
Categories:
Food Delivery Services,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Greenwich Village
Cookie delivery? Yes, please. You mean you don't deliver to Midtown? It's only fifty or so blocks....
Things that have a gimmick usually lack in quality, but the cookies were delicious. The Chocolate Chunk had a decent ratio of chunks to dough (I am…More »
7. Richart Design Et Chocolat - CLOSED
New York, NY 10022
(212) 371-9369
Categories:
Candy Stores,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Midtown East
Richart was one of my chocolate destinations when I visited New York two years ago, so I was sad to see that it had closed. My birthday trip was all about the chocolate, and Richart didn't have my favorite chocolates. However, the extravagance in…More »
8. Milk & Cookies
These cookies are a little bit better than homemade. Although chocolate chips made the cookie look like it had a mild case of hyperpigmentation, the ratio of chocolate chip to cookie is low compared to other places, such as Jacques Torres and…More »
9. Jacques Torres Chocolate
New York, NY 10014
(212) 414-2462
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Desserts,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: South Village
Before I moved to New York, I had a friend who visited her boyfriend in New York fairly regularly. I had her bring me back a box of chocolate from a different boutique every trip. Jacques Torres's chocolates were some of the more enjoyable ones for…More »
10. La Maison du Macaron
New York, NY 10011
(212) 243-2757
Although the cashier wasn't all that helpful when I was choosing macaroons ("What flavors do you have?" "It's on the menu." "Hmm, I'll have a fleur de sel." "We don't have that." "Okay, I'll have...the praline." "We don't have any caramel flavors."…More »
11. Levain Bakery
I love the edges of the cookie, which are crisp and slightly chewy. The innards are great in a slightly raw and gooey way. It also gets bonus points for having chocolate chunks that are easily separated from the cookie bits (I love chocolate chip…More »
12. DeLuscious Cookies & Milk
Los Angeles, CA 90038
(323) 460-2370
For the past couple of days, I have been suffering from some degree of gastrointestinal distress. I would have some really vivid dreams, wake up to a crazy tummyache, then prepare breakfast, which would entail sinking my teeth into these expensive…More »
13. Buttercup Bake Shop
New York, NY 10022
(212) 350-4144
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Midtown East
It was slightly chilly when I stepped into Buttercup Bake Shop--with a name like that, that would make a great opening line for a movie. I went around 5pm, and there was only one person in front of me. I asked the counter person about her favorites,…More »
14. Ruby Et Violette
Ruby et Violette is a cafe that's open till 10pm. There are three white cafe tables, so, in theory, you could hang out.
I had a s'mores and a dulce de leche cookie. The dulce de leche wasn't caramel-y enough; in fact, I don't think I got enough…More »
15. Varsano's Chocolate
New York, NY 10014
(212) 352-1171
Categories:
Chocolatiers and Shops,
Candy Stores
Neighbourhood: West Village
The man behind the counter--I think it was Marc Varsano--was so helpful and sweet, I really wanted to give this four stars, but I really only give four stars if I really like, and not kinda like, the stuff on offer.
I'm a bit of a chocolate snob, so…More »
16. BabyCakes NYC
New York, NY 10002
(212) 677-5047
Categories:
Bakeries,
Vegan,
Gluten-Free
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
I am a former vegan trying to get back on track. Perhaps I would have liked the cupcake more if I hadn't been stuffing my face with butter and egg-laced, decidedly non-vegan baked goods for the past week (part of the "trying" to get back on track…More »
17. Wafels & Dinges
Waffles--er, wafels--don't excite me, but if they did, this might get four stars. I got the mini-wafelini, which comes with a strawberry (cute!). It seems to be tiny, but I wound up at Whole Foods later, and holy bojangles. Something of that size is…More »
18. The City Bakery
New York, NY 10011
(212) 366-1414
Categories:
Bakeries,
Chocolatiers and Shops
Neighbourhood: Flatiron
I came here to try the much raved about chocolate chip cookie.
The chocolate chips don't stand out and every bite of the cookie yields an overwhelming taste of something oily--vegetable oil? Not buttery like a cookie should be, but artificial tasting.…More »
19. Grandaisy Bakery
The potato pizza was crisp and flat--only pretty good. I got the pizza pugliese (bianca dough with whole grape tomatoes), because they just pulled it from the oven. It was warm and the tomatoes burst into warm juices, but the bread wasn't flavorful.…More »
20. Billy's Bakery
I would give Billy's Bakery two stars, except all the great reviews are making me doubt myself (I've been neglecting my daily affirmations), I love alliteration, and the shop is pretty darned cute.
The chocolate chip cookie tasted like a packaged…More »
21. Baked
Blast you, Yelp! Now, every time I walk into a bakery, I have to eat at least three things. Thinking of the calories is just being selfish when I should be thinking of providing a balanced review on Yelp. I was disappointed to see that the brownies…More »
22. DessertTruck
New York, NY 10020
(212) 228-0701
Categories:
Desserts,
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: East Village
I came to the dessert truck with high expectations, having heard about the culinary training one of the founders had. Aside from the novelty of it being a truck--and I think we're all so used to trucks now, so no big deal--all I can say is, eh.…More »
23. Magnolia Bakery
There was the hype, but from reading the reviews on here, I knew not to have high expectations. I only went in because I was afraid Beard Papa's would be closed (it was). A preemptive sweet strike, if you will.
The storefront is cute. The cashier had…More »
