I must've found this place on a social media ad, because I couldn't tell you how your girl here from the Bay Area would've came across Mini Melanie out in Brooklyn. What I can tell you though is that I'm so happy I discovered them! I wanted to get the best of all worlds, so I got the Signature Mix of cake truffles. I was very pleased with the quality of the packaging and condition of the truffles upon arrival. The truffles were packed with 3 blocks of ice, and the box with the truffles still felt cold to the touch despite traveling across the country for 3 days. None of the truffles were broken or melted, but I went ahead and stuck them in the fridge before trying them. The instructions in the box advised to store them in the fridge anyway. I have to be honest: I've had ganache filled truffles, which are pretty basic as they come, but not cake ones. Although I can't compare Mini Melanie's cake truffles to another brand, I will go as far as saying that these cake truffles have set the bar really high for me. They were excellent! The cake was super moist, and I loved how each truffle tasted from its unique filling. The chocolate coating had a nice bite to it as well. My favorites were s'mores, red velvet cake, key lime pie and cookie dough, and yet you can't go wrong with any of the flavors in the signature mix.

Valentine's Day Cookie Catering

I got the chance to try some of Mini Melanie's sugar cookies because my apartment lounge was giving them out to celebrate Valentine's Day. I've never particularly been in love with sugar cookies, and the number of times I've had the type that are super cutely decorated are less than a handful. But I really loved these ones! They weren't too sweet, and I thought the actual cookie itself was the perfect balance of both crunchy and soft. The designs they had for Valentine's Day were on point and of course, appropriate for the holiday!

This is how it is presented once you open the box they shipped it in

Wow!! I am blown away at how quick and easy it was to look at all the items available to order and to actually make an order. Unfortunately, I made my order way too quickly without double checking the small details, and I wrote the wrong address for the goodies to be mailed to. I immediately contacted someone on chat and Diana (not a robot) was able to help me within seconds. I got a confirmation on email that the address was changed and minutes later I saw that they made a ticket with fedex to expedite the shipping process. Yes!!! I love how they're getting the ball rolling and keeping me in the loop with every correction and matter. I am a new customer from Texas (I found out about this company through rue la la.) Based on my wonderful experience I will happily do business with this company again for shipping delicious treats to family and friends nationwide. The cookies and the truffles tasted amazing and the items did not ruin in transit!

Signature Cake Truffles

I tried mini melanie for the first time over the holidays, since I love trying out new boutique dessert shops, and the desserts here were simply mind-blowing! I ordered holiday cake pops, coquito (Puerto Rican eggnog) cake truffles, and signature cake truffles. Each of these desserts were so gooey, soft, chocolatey, flavorful yet not too overwhelmingly sweet, and overall just perfect! The desserts were so beautifully decorated too, especially the ones with a marbled or glittery appearance. These cake-based desserts can be stored for up to 3-weeks in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. I'm absolutely in love with mini melanie and can't wait to order from here again! Their desserts make perfect gifts for birthdays, holidays, and any other special occasion. According to their website, this shop sells mini cakes as well, but sadly, those cakes are only available for pick-up orders from their shop in Brooklyn. If I'm ever in the area, I'm definitely swinging by!

I can't express how much I appreciate Mini Melanie, living out in Chicago, Illinois I wanted to send a friend a birthday gift in NYC and I'm glad I found the perfect place. Mini Melanie were on top of my needs, answered every question I had and made sure my delivery was made the day of his birthday. I've attached a pic of his birthday delivery, the hand written note and the perfect packaging. Thank you, Mini Melanie, I look forward to doing business with you again. Not to mention that I'm in NYC often and will rave about your business.

Beautiful packaging. Sent via FedEx

Most delicious cake truffles I have ever had . Blows Momofuku Milk Bar out of the WATER!!! My favorites were the Kate( key lime) , Zoe (party cake). And the one with the marshmellow fluff. I wouls steer away from the gluten free- they taste more gooey/ like straight sugar because its gluten free. Oh the red velvet cake is incredible as well wow.

Awesome petit fours! Sometimes the chocolate coating is a bit much for me, but the balance between the coating and the cake was perfect on these.

Hard as a rock, be careful with your teeth

I don't know how that place got these 5 star reviews. We bought a cookie pie size of a very thick cookie for 12$ a pieces, I wouldn't pay even 4$ for something like this. It was hard as a rock, taste was just ok. Worse 12$ spent

Oh. My. GOD! Mini Melanie is everything you want in custom confections, and more! Mini Melanie provided the desserts for my bridal shower and they were nothing short of fantastic. I had an almond cake with vanilla buttercream that was the talk of the party! I'm not much of a cake person, but this cake was pleasantly sweet with a great cake to frosting ratio. The cake truffles were out of this world, and the mini cupcakes and tarts were perfect for those who wanted to mingle and snack! I will be placing an order from Mini Melanie in August for a cake for my groom! :)

Hair in the holiday pastries.

See all

We ordered one strawberry and one strawberry banana crêpe. They were filled with strawberries and bananas, and the outside was drizzled with glorious Nutella, which is a hazelnut chocolate sauce . The texture of the crêpes were absolutely perfect and that was the part I was most craving. I also loved the Nutella part. The banana and strawberry not so much as to me that didn't really have much of a taste, but maybe that was because the rest of it was super flavorful and over powered the fruit. All good and definitely satisfied my crêpe craving, but next time I would stop by to enjoy their desserts in person. The Kunafa looks particularly wonderful and has definitely peaked my curiosity.

Having a dessert spot in the neighborhood that is open late night and is serving flavors of our culture is nothing short of a dream come true. Not so great for my weight loss goals, though haha. Thank you, Moose. I came in here, and the place was absolutely buzzing, with groups of people enjoying their late night desserts- a testament to how much we needed this spot to just open and thrive and exist. I don't personally like cream Kenafa so I haven't really tried anything off their menu yet, but the Dubai chocolate crêpe is really calling out my name, and I am just going to bite the bullet and try it one of these days. I did go in to sample their Dubai chocolate. As a chocoholic, I am on a low-key search for the best Dubai chocolate bar in the city. This bar did not disappoint. The filling to chocolate ratio was perfect. However, I do feel that there is an over balance of crispy kanafa in the filling. I think it could use more pistachio cream and be a little on the runnier side. Can't wait to come back and try that crêpe. Until I am able to make that trip back, do stop in and enjoy a sweet treat in this cute little dessert shop. It's also Palestinian owned so you know you are supporting the right people and the right cause while satisfying that sweet tooth craving. What more could a customer ask for?

It's more than an amazing store with an incredible selection of candy, It's charming, friendly and has a magical quality. Eugene is so friendly, ready to help with a smile and made me feel welcome. It was so hard to choose, I wanted everything. Eugene's has his very own candy creations (now my mouth is watering). "Freaks" are Eugene's version of Nerd's but so much better! He makes them in several flavors, and they are amazing! Who knew I would like chocolate covered cornflakes? I am a chocolate lover but I would never have thought of this combo. They are melt in your mouth while, being crispy at the same time. There is a large selection of gummies in so many varieties and flavors. I felt like I went back in time with many childhood candies that I haven't seen in years. I didn't know that candy waxed lips, fangs and mustaches still existed. I totally had to buy my dad Mary Jane's, such a classic candy. I most definitely will be back. Thank you Eugene!

The Freaks (Eugene's homemade version of Nerds) are a must try. The citrus flavors (grapefruit,…read moreorange, lemon, and lime) are flavored with essential oils and the grapefruit ones taste like a super packed version of my favorite grapefruit gummies. They're bigger and crunchier than the original Nerds, honestly better in every way. After my first trip, I was back within the week for more. For chocolate lovers, there are a plethora of chocolate covered candies and cereals. My go to are the matcha white chocolate covered Frosted Flakes.

While placing my order, I was briefly distracted by a phone call and accidentally said "white chocolate" instead of "milk chocolate." As soon as I realized the mistake--and knowing I'm allergic to white chocolate--I politely asked the sales associate if she could make it milk chocolate instead. I hadn't touched the cup, and it wasn't even handed to me yet. She looked at me as if I was asking for something unreasonable and told me I would have to pay for a whole new cup because it was "company policy." I asked to speak with a manager, hoping for some understanding, but what I got was a shockingly rude woman who immediately began raising her voice at me. She bluntly repeated that she would not make a new cup, even though I never picked up the original one and couldn't drink it due to my allergy. The unprofessionalism and lack of basic customer service were unbelievable. I was so frustrated and disappointed that I walked out and left the drink behind without receiving a refund or even an apology. I will never be returning to this Prince Soho location. The store manager was extremely rude, and the way the situation was handled was completely unacceptable. This used to be one of my favorite places, but after this experience, I'm done.

We went last week on a weekday, so there were plenty of tables available. The decor is so pretty, if Disneyland had a chocolate cafe, this is what it would look like.

I decided on the Belle Classic, where you can choose any large drink and 2 madeleines or macarons for $15+. I ordered the earl grey tea and the macarons of the day were chocolate and caramel. I wasn't aware that you couldn't choose the macarons, but both were delicious so I was fine with the selection. Our server was outstanding as well. They gave us samples of the hot chocolate and iced chocolate to try. Surprisingly, we both liked the iced chocolate more, even though I generally prefer hot drinks.
