Lower Manhattan/ Soho/ Chinatown
A lot of great recs for a late night craving too, all in Manhattan, NYC! I’m an avid goer to these places, they have a lot of variety and are kid friendly! Enjoy 🤩
Definitely a must have when in NYC! On the affordable end and perfect if you want to cater sweets for a party! I love getting their dipped waffle cones 🤤
Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices
Small spot but their Dubai chocolate sundae is amazing. It has a good amount of pistachios and some other fillings which compliment the taste really well 🤩
Sweet Graffiti
Probably the best croissants I’ve had in NYC! A little on the pricey side but worth it! Love their ube eclairs too 🤤
Supermoon Bakehouse
Although this is a restaurant/ diner their banana bread is really good and it comes with espresso mascarpone, one of my favorites in the city 😆
Two Hands
Definitely a must have when you’re in NYC, pretty popular tourist spot but it’s worth it, I personally love their strawberry and raspberry lemon cheesecake! 🤩
Eileen's Special Cheesecake
I get their mango rice pudding cake all the time, perfect texture and flavor 🔥
SALSWEE
Definitely on the pricey side but super aesthetic place with 🔥 chocolate cake, it’s my go to everytime I visit!
Lysée
Super trendy and busy dessert bar, but totally worth the wait; Their golden toast is my favorite!
Perfect spot for when your sweet tooth is calling at night! 🤤
Spot Dessert Bar
Definitely a-must-visit when in Chinatown! They have really unique items on their menus I love getting their Oreo croffles (croissant waffles) 🤩
Smoove Ice Cream
K-Town
A lot of good spots in K-town, but I frequent these often, super touristy area so will definitely be crowded any day of the week but worth it!
Pricey spot but worth it if you’re new to NYC and looking for a trendy and aesthetic spot! Their hot chocolate and tiramisu are amazing! 🤩
Prince Tea House Ktown | Dessert Spot at Fifth Ave
A lot of options in here but nice spot for getting bubble tea at “Kung Fu Tea” or a red bean pastry at “Delimanjoo”
Food Gallery 32
On the more affordable side with quick service despite being a busy spot! Their donuts were my favorite 🤩
Grace Street Coffee & Desserts
Midtown
Busy area but good spots for a quick bite! Both really kid friendly too
Really cute bakery in midtown - a little on the pricey side due to location but worth it if you need a quick drink or snack, especially if you have kiddies with you! I liked their earl grey tea with the yuzu fruit tart 🤩
Bibble & Sip
I love their Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie which is different from their regular apple pie, and their Carrot Cake, second to Lloyd’s carrot cake in my opinion! 🤤
Little Pie Company
Harlem
Harlem has gems!!! Definitely worth the travel ~~
Perfect spot for delicious carrot cake! Generous slices with variety - nuts and raisins are available! I also like their red velvet and coffee cake too 🤤
