A trip or summer in New York City isn’t complete without trying a fair share of desserts, particularly cupcakes. If you’re ever in the city and want to satisfy your sweet tooth, don’t miss out on these spots for cakes and cupcakes:
1. Lady M Confections
If having a slice or two of Lady M’s mille crêpes isn’t on your bucket list, then you need to add it right away. Essentially a cake comprised of layers of thin, delicate crêpes and light cream, you really can’t go wrong with any of the flavors, particularly the green tea and the signature.
2. Georgetown Cupcake
This Washington, D.C. bakery is now in New York City (as well as many other cities), which means you’re probably never too far away from these delicious cupcakes. These cupcakes are relatively small in size and come in multiple daily and seasonal flavors, making it necessary to come back to try them all. Chocolate lovers: don’t miss out on the chocolate ganache.
3. Baked by Melissa
You really can’t go wrong with any of these bite-sized cupcakes. The box of 25 is the best deal and lets you try a variety in flavors. Beware: you may just end up eating that entire box in one sitting, if you’re not careful.
4. Magnolia Bakery
This New York City staple is well-known for its banana pudding and solid roster of cupcake flavors. In the Bloomingdales flagship area? Check out the exclusive Bloomingdales cupcake.
Honorable (Non-Cake?) Mention: Momofuku Milk Bar
Sure, they have those cake truffles, but the true highlights at Momofuku Milk Bar are the cereal milk soft serve and the crack pie. Trying these life-changing desserts at least once is a must during your NYC visit!
