What an adorable and colorful shop! While working in the New York office, I stopped by this…read morelocation during a break. I needed an afternoon pick-me-up, and a coworker wanted a sweat treat. What I Ordered: - Affogato: Delicious espresso with your choice of gelato, so I went with stracciatella. Additionally, I was asked if I wanted whipped cream which I said yes. Wow, this easily was the best gelato I've ever had! My mouth is watering thinking back to having this week. Be sure to check out this location and treat yourself to an affogato - yum!

What a cute little spot! Bauli has been around for about a year now. Situated in the flatiron…read moredistrict near Union Square Park, which is a great location. I spoke with the owner who gave me a brief history of the origins of their business. Bauli is the last name of the Italian owner and creator of these adorable little Minuto pastries. The inside has such cute eye appeal with bright pastels. It's kept tidy and clean. A cute little purple vespa sits at the entrance. Their theme is a purple lavender --my favorite --which is probably why this appealed to me visually. There's plenty of seating inside and at the back is a rotating wall of "fun-facts" about minuto Bauli. I highly recommend checking that out. The company also does wholesale with future collabs in certain retails/grocers. All their minuto bread is made fresh daily and it is cut down longitudinally in the middle and stuffed which creamy filling of your choosing. I tried the hazelnut and dark chocolate fillings, which were exquisite. I love pistachio but it was too sweet of an after-taste. Then you also get toppings of your choosing for each little loaf. I got the crushed pistachios and hazelnuts. Then sprinkled with some powder sugar. You can order sets of 2,4, or 6 loaves in a box to go. The pastry cream flavor is a classic and I wanted to take it with me but it is better refrigerated or eaten promptly. They also have savory snacks like margarita pizza and salame piccante, as well as ham-and-cheese croissant in case you want lunch before a sweet treat. I do recommend checking out this adorable little spot where the team seems dedicated to their Italian pastry.

Digging the retro cop diner vibe and theme here! It's very small inside, with only about 7 for bar…read moreseating. The cashier, Antoinette, kindly gave us an extra two doughnuts for the road after we ordered a 12 pack. There are only three flavors (cinnamon sugar, OG sour cream, and a "featured" flavor, which for us was red velvet), and they don't sell individual doughnuts (the smallest size was a 3-pack, which isn't actually good value). The doughnuts are very small, but delicious and best eaten fresh and warm. They're more like cakes than donuts, definitely melt-in-your-mouth gooey, and extremely addictive (although you may not like them if you don't like a cake batter consistency). I personally love all 3 doughnuts and I'm glad there were no cops here because my ordering only a 12-pack was a crime! (Okay, that joke itself was a crime, but please try this place, and you won't be disappointed.)

Finally checked this place out on a weeknight closer to closing. There was one other person in the…read moreshop and ordering is easy enough as the menu is straightforward. The person behind the kiosk was super kind. I tried a few of the flavors, but I think the original ended up being my favorite. The mini donuts were made fresh, and were still warm when I was enjoying them, and nicely sweet, and melt in your mouth. Really good, and a great place to check out for fresh donuts, not something you can easily find. They melt in your mouth like confectionery, and are perfectly bite size. One order comes with six, I believe. I would definitely come back to this place, and hope this place continues to see success. I see from time to time that they do collaborations for special flavors, so they have something to keep you coming back. Keep it up Cops!

But what I cannot hate is the quality of everything I have tried here. The bread and cultured butter is everything I want in an afternoon snack. The quiche is phenomenally delicate.

So good and the perfect amount of dessert when you want something a little sweet but don't want a calorie bomb. pair that with a drip coffee and you got a winning post-running reward on a breezy Fall day. lines move pretty slow because the counter is a one-person show, the bakery has a steady flow of neighborhood patrons, and the customers are paralyzed by the variety of baked items. i tend to avoid lines that are more than two people deep. just found out that the baguettes are baked fresh throughout the day, so no need to get there early morning to get a super fresh one. Le Fournil is definitely an East Village must-visit.

I audibly exclaimed at the deliciousness of the creation right in the middle of the store in front of God and everyone. I am not ashamed. The people deserve to know. Odysseus did not travel back for Penelope, but for these cake truffles. Hercules did not perform his labors to atone for familial strife, but to budget for the calories ingested in what the lost portion of the myth must have only recorded as a bacchanalian rampage of Empire Cake red velvet cake truffles. Napoleon must have thought the recipe for these cake truffles was hidden in Russia, and Tsar Alexander I must have believed he was defending it. The black and white cookies are also fantastic. In fact, they're what initially drew me in. Many of the other pastries are quite good, and even as I write this, I have a pickup order pending for several other pastries to share with friends and family. (Sadly you cannot order the cake truffles online!) But I cannot hide my devotion to the red velvet cake truffles. Last time I went, I literally bought out the entire remaining stock. I even made them check the back. I plan to buy more when I go to pick up that order. 5/5 will go back to cake church again.

We stumbled upon Charlotte Patisserie, which was open till 8 and we were pleasantly surprised by the selection of desserts there as well as the amazing staff who served us.

Even though we arrived close to 7:30p, the staff didn't seem bothered by the last minute guests, and actually even poured us a generous glass for the Rose for us to enjoy.
