LIC review with photos of most of their other desserts (same review here:) https://www.yelp.com/biz/spot-dessert-bar-long-island-city?hrid=vq5ObhHRGj3L4Jcnu_0-_Q I've been to multiple locations of this fancy Asian dessert bar and my review is essentially the same for all of them though there are some key differences between them. The main thing is of course that the Flushing one and especially the East Village one are much more crowded than the Long Island City one so if you're looking to share some desserts and chat; I might recommend going to their LIC location but I presume if you're looking at this review, you'd likely be going to a place in Flushing so whatever. The photos are separated by location but you'll see a copy and paste for the other spots outside of this part. Short review: In terms of their normal menu, my preference here is likely the Matcha Lava and Milky Puff with the Golden Toast and Harvest being alright. The latter is just a bit too pricey compared to the more composed desserts here. In terms of seasonal fall/autumn stuff, the Eye Of The Dragon and Autumn Trifle are both excellent and we didn't try the Jjan Hae or Kabocha Pie which is the current seasonal vegan option. The omakase is an excellent deal if you're going with five others which comes with 5 desserts, 3 pastries, and a fancy fruity green tea. If you're going to get a pastry, the Matcha Lava cookie is excellent with the Caramel Miso being alright and their Pasteis De Nata are both overpriced and terrible. As the prices match per dessert ($14.45,) I'm not listing them. Otherwise this is in order of preference with S before the dessert name meaning seasonal/not always available. Excellent: Matcha Lava- Warm dark chocolate cake filled with matcha ganache, served with matcha green tea ice cream. Good quality chocolate mixed with the semi bitter matcha. It's both well presented and also taste delicious. (S) Eye Of The Dragon- Sticky longan pudding cake, soaked in palm sugar caramel sauce served with condensed milk ice cream. There was plenty of longan flavor which I would describe as a almost musky lychee and the cake was also on the sweet end. This was balanced by the palm sugar caramel poured at the table which had a slight bitterness. Very good: (S) Autumn Yuzu Trifle- Layered lemon chiffon cake, soaked in verbena tea, poached red wine pear and homemade mascarpone cream. The dessert (at least in LIC) was composed at the table which was a nice touch. There was plenty of lemon flavor though not nearly enough yuzu for my liking. I wasn't overly sour though with the mascarpone adding some richness. The cake was delicate and the red wine pears both topped and also found inside had juiciness. Excellent. Milky Puff- Warm puff pastry, brûlée bananas, white chocolate honey comb, corn flakes, served with condensed milk ice cream. Not too sweet with a good mix of textures. The banana is probably the best part of it with a good crisp and sweetness. Good: The Harvest- Layers of berries, soft cheesecake, oreo crumbs, earl grey milk tea served with raspberry sorbet. This has the best presentation of all the desserts and might be worth it just for this. However, I find the flavors a little bit bland compared to the other things here. Golden Toast- Warm crispy honey buttered toast, strawberries, served with condensed milk ice cream Just an amped up version of this HK classic. The texture of the toast is nice and the strawberries are fresh but there's other spots for this exact dessert and either a bigger portion or much less. Others/Pastries: Matcha Lava Cookie: Excellent. Good texture Caramel Miso: Couldn't taste the miso but good texture and not as sweet as expected Pasteis De Nata: Terrible texture with a bad custard. Worst thing here. In short, the average dessert here is probably a mid/low 3 while the seasonal stuff was a low/mid 4 and the pastries are a mid 3 outside of the prices. 3.6-3.8 for all spots with this one being the lowest as it's just too crowded and the seats are too close. Still good though I prefer the other locations. read more

I went there last week my friend got a Thai iced tea and I had the matcha affogato. THATS ALL we ordered that day. Yes we had it to STAY. Then today I go and the waitress tells me I have to order a desert and cookies don't count. This is the stupidest thing ever. Today my friend and I ordered a Thai ice tea and a regular affogato and two cookies. The waitress said just this one time next time you have to order a dessert. This lowers the quality of the place because apparently you cant sit down and order whatever on the menu... you have to get one of their main desserts. It's giving poor customer service. If im PAYING and TIPPiNG I want to be able to order what I want off the menu and get service. Not be told I can't sit if im not ordering a main dessert. But im ordering cookies and coffee and teas and paying. It really gives POOR customer service and makes me not want to go back it really made it a very unenjoyable experience. SO FUCKING STUPID. If you go here make sure you order dessert otherwise they may not serve you. Lmaooo read more

I love spot! I also get the golden toast and the rose milk tea. Smetimes i get the harvet as well. The toast is so good and sweet and pairs well with the cold ice cream! Its one of my go tos but the price did go up to 15 dollars. The harvet is like a cheesecake but oreo flavored with berries! Theres some seating but not that many tables and the service isnt too bad itself! read more

I think the novelty and the presentation of these desserts are charming. However, with ordering the miso semifreddo, I was expecting a much more developed flavor that expresses the miso for a harmony of sweet and salty. I felt like the dessert we ordered was a bit bland, and the mounting expectations of the presentation were ultimately dulled by the taste itself. Service here was really attentive (maybe also because the place was nearly empty), so we were able to appreciate the experience still. read more

Spot Dessert Bar - Miso Semifreddo - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

3.5 / 5.0 - My friend and I were in Flushing for the afternoon and decided to stop by Spot Dessert Bar for a tea break. I'd had the flagship location in East Village bookmarked for a while, but this was my first time. It's not a large cafe, but fortunately, there was one table open when we arrived, so we were seated right away. You order and pay on the app. To order, you need to register yourself on the Apollo app, which was bothersome--you can't just order as a "guest;" you need to become a member. Additional note: There is a one dessert minimum. After we ordered, they brought out our dessert and drinks pretty quickly. We ordered: - The Harvest ($14.45+) - Hot Honey Yuzu Tea ($4.95+) The Harvest was such a cute dessert. It looked like an actual plant, but the "dirt" was made with Oreo crumbs and inside the planter was also berries and soft cheesecake, which was delicious. The earl grey milk and raspberry sorbet was a nice touch as well. The Hot Honey Yuzu Tea was good, too. Note: They do not have tea spoons, so you need to use a large spoon to stir. Based on their ordering system and the dessert prices, this wouldn't be my first choice for tea time, but if you're looking for a unique, tasty dessert, it's worth a try. read more

It was great, I really appreciated the service. However, the 15 dollar desert was quite literally just ice.

We've been going at this location for years. The dessert tapas are so rich and flavorful. Either share or get one of these wonderful creations for yourself - you won't be disappointed. Can't go wrong with the classics "Golden Toast," "Milky Puff," and "Cookie Camp!" There are plenty to choose from their beverages. Also, take advantage of their promos where you can save and enjoy at the same time. The staff - always warm and welcoming. Expect to wait in line on the weekends. The interior is small but can seat even a large group. The restaurant is clean. There is a municipal parking and hotel parking a block away. I hope that they'll open Spot here in Long Island. People from the suburbs will welcome this place like they've embraced Bubble Tea! read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 9 for a party of 2 and it was pretty popular! The space itself is a little small but we were lucky that a party was leaving as we put our name down. We waited around 10 minutes or less and it was nice that they will have your phone number to text you. We ordered the matcha lava cake - okay like $14 dollars for a tiny slice. Okay it's cute, pretty decadent but they also have a deal of like 3 desserts for like $35? I did like that they have seasonal desserts but was bummed I couldn't try their parfait. I think it's a cute spot for people to sit down and hang out and eat but the desserts were a little indulgent so maybe a bigger party to try them all? read more

this place was delicious, the golden toast is a must try. the harvest was good i'm just not a huge raspberry fan. the passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly was delicious and the boba was so fresh and soft. service was great very friendly and helped me order. it's a small place. there's a dumpling place right next to it i ate there and came here for dessert a perfect date read more

We went to spot for dessert and order the Halloween special and seasonal. The chai was a hit strange. Wasn't overly sweet but just wasn't for me. The coffee ice cream was good tho. And for the Halloween special the chocolate didn't pair well with the chestnut. The golden toast was amazing tho. I highly recommend getting the toast. Very crispy but soft inside and the ice cream pairs so well together. read more

This is the place for dessert lovers! It's open late so it's perfect for an after dinner date night. I get the harvest dessert every time! I tried the golden toast, which was okay because it just tastes like bread. The only downfall is this place is extremely tiny so there will be a wait majority of the times. But i'll still give it five stars because the desserts taste good and they're creative with the plating. read more

Spot Dessert Bar - Harvest dessert - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

SPOT is the quintessential New York City dessert spot if you have not been to any others yet. It is like the stepping stone to greater giants. They do change their menu sometimes but very infrequently as most of the menu items are classics such as the French toast and the matcha chocolate lava cake. My old favorite used to the deconstructed cheesecake but they have not had that in a while. I think that was even before the Queens location opened. Needless to say the desserts are and have always been very aesthetically please and have the sweetness to keep you up at night. A little extra sweet for me but it's no bother since it's expected! I really liked their chocolate pot dessert. The lava cake I know is very popular but for me it's always been too sweet. I like more subtle tastes. But you still can't go wrong with any of the dishes especially if you're out with friends or on a date. read more

I've always enjoyed the atmosphere at Spot Desert and have visited multiple times, but after my recent experience, I won't be returning. My friends and I joined the waitlist online while walking to the location, and we received a notification that our table was ready. When I arrived and politely mentioned we had a reservation, the host responded rudely, insisting they don't take reservations. Her colleague intervened, confirmed our table, and told her not to be mean to customers--only for her to argue back in front of us. Later, the same colleague came to our table--not to take our order, but to "apologize" and then proceeded to tell me I was loud when I walked in. I was shocked and explained that the music in the restaurant was loud, but he continued defending his coworker and implying I was in the wrong. The whole exchange was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Instead of de-escalating the situation, he made it worse. I ended up walking out. I used to enjoy coming here, but this experience was disappointing and embarrassing. A little empathy and better communication would have gone a long way. read more

I think their desserts are pretty well made but a bit on the pricy side. The seasonal items are priced around 14 bucks for a small portion. I do like their cookies tho which are reasonably priced for the warm and crunchy outside with gooey filling. The dessert is also a bit too sweet for my liking. Service is quick. The seatings are limited inside but overall nice ambiance. read more

Been here several times and the desserts remain a constant. The presentation is phenomenal and delicious. They had enough space to fit a group of 6 and 2 kids and it was nice and quiet enough to hold a conversation. We got the omakase dessert, 5 desserts, some pastries and tea. Great to just nibble on and catch up with friends! read more

Food/Drinks: When I say the food was delicious, I mean the food was delicious! We started with the Golden Toast ($14.45), which was just decalate. The crust of the toast was nice and crisp, and the insides were fluffy. We couldn't explain it, but it reminded us of something we had in our childhood. The toast with the ice cream had a nice balance of savory from the crust and sweet from the ice cream. We then also ordered the Harvest ($14.45), Pasteis De Nata ($7.00), and a Nutella Cookie ($4.45). The Harvest has amazing layers of texture, and the Earl Grey Milk Tea poured on top enhanced the flavors. I loved discovering the different layers of cheesecake, chiffon cake, and strawberries. The sorbet also reminded us of ring pops. The pasteis de nata has a nice rich flavor, and the cookie was chocolatey to the max. Overall, great food, and would come again! Service: The staff immediately greets you upon entering and makes sure to greet you as you leave. They used an app ordering system which was efficient and would be best for introverts. Plus, the app has reduced pricing, so take advantage of that. read more

The desserts are so aesthetically cute but it's so overrated. We got their summer seasonal desserts (the normal ones would probably be better..???) and they were really not that good. Service was good though. They explained what each dessert was as when it was brought over to us. Seating arrangements are cramped. read more

Brought my niece here to try since she hasn't tried. We got about 6 things to try. The aesthetic is cute for the dessert but besides that there's nothing else. Flavor wise it just tastes like sugar and that's it. Never coming back here again. I always hate going to a place that looks better than it taste. read more

A go-to dessert spot when nothing else comes to mind. You always know exactly what to expect with these desserts and they always hit the spot to satisfy my sweet tooth. I love how aesthetic they are and sometimes they may look small, but they definitely fill you up! I've tried all the signature desserts, most of the cookies and some of the ice creams. The seasonal desserts are always fun to try and my absolute favorite (that I still dream about) is the pear!! These desserts definitely add up in price very quickly and do not have the same taste or presentation effect when ordered to-go. Would recommend eating in or not at all. Many of the Spot locations are also on the small side so you may feel a little cramped or need to wait for seats. read more

I ordered from here because we went to the one in the city many moons ago. My hubby has a sweet tooth so I wanted to surprise him. I placed an order for the Milky Puff, Golden Toast, and the Miso Caramel Cookie. Unfortunately this was a totally miss. We didn't care for the desserts. The only thing that was ok was the Miso Caramel Cookie. It was soft and chewy. read more

Spot Dessert Bar - 10/10 got this without pretzels Def recommend to try the cookie camp and golden toast! - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

The golden toast was delicious and the dessert quality is really up there for a casual-looking dessert spot, but the prices are quite steep for such small portions. I don't know if I'd pay $17 (after tax and tip) again for golden toast, maybe would try other stuff on the menu if someone I was with really wanted to come though. Sweetness was a little much for my personal preference but not as severe as American desserts haha. My partner and I came at 8:30pm on a Friday night and tables were almost all full but we got a spot right away when we walked in. Service is solid too. read more

Absolutely loved Spot Dessert Bar! I got the Golden Toast and it was delicious. The right amount of sweetness complimented with the ice cream and strawberries. The service was phenomenal!

In terms of the location itself, it's pretty tight in there but they are very quick and it is a very lively atmosphere! I definitely recommend! read more

Spot Dessert Bar - Golden Toast with Ice Cream - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

Welcome Diabetes! Spot is very sweet by asian standards, but okay by western standards. Otherwise, that first sugar hit - you may want to check your A1C level afterwards. I have found that Spot Dessert is best shared with a group of friends. More friends the better. The difficult with the location in Flushing is that there is limited spacing. There can be a wait to get it. Getting dessert in Flushing after dinner can be a bit challenging. There are a few spots but they all have limited space. I have found the staff to be friendly. I tried to do my best upon finishing my dessert to depart so the next patron can enjoy. read more

Creative, Brilliant and Accessible Desserts! A place you don't need to spend $100 a night for great desserts. We actually got 3 desserts for $34 (which is a great deal in NYC) People may get bored of this place but I don't! My favorite is Matcha Lava Cake! The combination of matcha and chocolate is top notch. Not only the flavors, but the dish also delivers a sensible experience of hot, melting chocolate lava and cold ice cream. It's like heaven and earth! The other desserts are also on the point! Hot crispy toasties dipping in whipped cream and ice cream is a classic. And the harvest was my friend's favorite! It's yogurt with cookies crumbles with wise flavor combinations. The service was great! We didn't take more 2 minutes to get the table. The space might get a little small. So it's perfect for a small party from 2 to 4 read more

The lava cake was excellent. I had take so I didn't get sit down and enjoy myself. But they were pleasant and on time with my order.

Spot is great! It is also open late, so it is a great place to go either as a destination or as an after dinner spot. The menu does change seasonally, and it is nice that they switch it up. Matcha Lava is a classic! I am often just suspicious of people who just get stand alone cookies. read more

I tried a wide variety of dishes at Spot and each one of them delivered. I had the toast, the milky puff, the miso caramel cookie, and the matcha chocolate cookie. My favorite was the toast and the miso caramel cookie as they are very decadent and the textures were satisfying. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Alongside that, the service was amazing. The staff were very attentive and helpful, making room for my party of 12 when the restaurant was fully packed. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy and makes for a great late night hangout spot. Overall, a great dessert spot with many unique options. read more

Spot Dessert Bar has delicious, distinctive desserts that I personally have not had anywhere else in the world. After my first visit, I believe it is fair to say this is my favorite dessert spot in all of New York City. My wife and I wanted to order more than we had because the menu had so many rare, never-before-had desserts but we settled on Golden Toast, Milky Puff, and a Mango Passion Fruit Soda. I'd gladly get them all again but I think my favorite of the three was the Golden Toast. read more

Last week, we dropped by this place during our food crawl in Flushing. After hearing about this place from a NYC foodie, we decided to try it out. We got the matcha lava cake and the harvest. The matcha lava cake was the star of the show! The cake consisted of a dark chocolate cake infused with matcha powder, chocolate pearls, and cookie crumbs and came with a side of matcha ice cream. It's not to be missed! The harvest was definitely IG-able since it was shaped like a little plant(unfortunately the orange pot is not edible). You can pour earl grey milk tea over the "dirt" which was really oreo cookie crumbs. Underneath the cookie crumbs, there were strawberries, whipped cheesecake, and whipped cream. The presentation was beautiful but the taste was meh. read more

When I went to this spot, the server angela immediately took us to a table next to the bathroom that's away from the general seating of the restaurant. I noticed that every time I came people of color were placed over on this side bathroom table while the other tables all line the restaurant and white or Asian people are placed there. The place was half empty when we came so I asked the server if she could kindly let us sit at another table and she scoffed and said they weren't clean. They were all spotless and another person in my group said he saw her clean the table to the right while we were walking in... so she sat us to the table she cleaned reluctantly. We got 4 desserts 3 cookies among the 4 of us and they were all delicious. But we were so thirsty and even though the place was 70% empty Angela avoided eye contact and we just wanted water the whole time. Towards the end a male waiter smiled at our table so I asked for water and he was shocked that Angela didn't bring us any for 30 mins or check in on us. It felt like we were hated and put near the bathroom for the color of our skin and it is really hurtful to do to another human. I wanted to see if it was only my experience but as you can see there are many people who shared the same experience including this lady who brought her daughter here. I ordered delivery because I didn't want to go back since this experience reduced me to tears and the lava cake was a mess sadly read more
