Who doesn’t love some appetite-satiating sweets and treats? Here are some places in NYC with delectable desserts you need to try the next time you visit!

1. Baked By Melissa

The perfect place for cupcake and macaron enthusiasts! Baked By Melissa has mini, bite-sized cupcakes and macarons in plenty of fun colors and yummy flavors! It started small as a pop-up in SoHo and is now a nationwide shipping brand. The sweets are perfect to send as gifts to near and dear ones, and as a bonus, they come with adorable multi-color packaging!

2. Taiyaki NYC

Ice cream in fish-shaped cones? Yessir! Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese fish-shaped cake that is usually filled with red bean paste. At Taiyaki NYC, you get to try these cakes filled with soft serve in delicious flavors like Black Sesame and Matcha. It is perfect if you want to have a little treat while walking around in Chinatown!

3. Rice to Riches

As the name suggests, this place has mouth-watering rice pudding! With a wide range of flavors like cookie dough, caramel, and panna cotta, Rice to Riches is sure to satiate your sweet tooth! Be sure to take a look around the store for creative and hilarious quotes! Pro tip: Consider having this on an empty stomach; these bowls are filling!

4. Bibble and Sip

Look no further for scrumptious crème puffs and more! Bibble and Sip is an adorable store with a cute alpaca theme throughout the place! With too-cute-to-eat desserts, Bibble and Sip offers many treats like creme puffs, tarts, and cakes all shaped like cute alpacas, pigs (the Lychee Berry is my favorite!), and clouds! Check this place out for some cutesy, yummy desserts and oh-so-refreshing coffee!

5. Lady M

Crepe Cake Cravings? I gotchu! Lady M has the creamiest, yummiest, most satisfying crepe cakes you will ever taste (my personal favorite is the Green Tea cake!)! Over 20 silky-smooth layers of utter bliss! These cakes will melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more!
