Alejandro MestaAugust 7, 2014The chili dog was great but it's big enough to feed 2... Save some space for dessert
Ryan ZolaApril 8, 2014Le Burger Extravagant is perfect in every way. Totally worth the $295.00 price tag.
Pam HarneyJanuary 3, 2016Wait was ridiculously long at just about two hours. If you can, plan ahead and call to make a ressie. We killed time at Dylan's candy shop and Bloomies so it worked out.
Jesse BelkinMarch 20, 2016Friendly, understanding staff. Great knowledge of their extremely large menu.
Sean CSWApril 24, 2011FroZen hot chocolate for 2 is just nice ! But remember to have it AFTER your main course, or it will spoil your appetite. Cheers from Singapore !! YNWA !!
Maryam KhooryJune 20, 2012The reason why everyone says the frozen hot choc its cause they never tried the frozen peanut butter hot choc which is waaaaaay better, trust me!
Nancy Lara-RepettoJune 23, 2013Come with a large appetite for the cold delicious ice cream that is made to perfection
FoodSherpas.comAugust 21, 2011Surely a dessert essential for a New York trip. One must try the frozen hot chocolate or it's sister dessert, the peanut butter frozen hot chocolate.
Tariq AhmadDecember 20, 2011Best dessert spot in the city. Extremely long wait all the time, but completely worth it. Insanity Sundae is awesome.
Amy RobertsSeptember 26, 2014Yum!! We are ready for some well renowned Serendipity FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE!! ❤️
Michael HaaralaMarch 12, 2017Frozen hot chocolate was amazing -- but the apple pie and chocolate cake were flavorless.
Brian CarterMarch 4, 2014Portions are big! Split your meal and your frrrozen hot chocolate. Or at least split your meal.
Anna DJune 7, 2019We had a great server but beware of hostess Debbie. She tells you it will be 5 minutes but it’s more like 50 minutes. She doesn’t know how to manage walk-ins and reservations at the same time.
CNovember 9, 2015This was on my must do list, and I finally did. Food was delicious and I consider this dessert heaven.
Get there for desserts and especially the Hot Frrrrrozen Chocolate!
Maegan HuttonOctober 29, 2015Frozen hot chocolate is a bit of a disappointment and the wait can be a bit long. Food is relatively worth it.
Stacy AdamJune 28, 2010The frozen hot chocolate was good, but the omelette was AMAZING! Get there before they open to get in line if you are lucky, you'll get seated or at least have a shorter wait.- Katrina PeraltaSeptember 4, 2013A must visit in NYC and you MUST try the frozen hot chocolate. Good for sharing.
Palmitoleic :DAugust 14, 2014Serendipity's Peanut Butter Frrrozen Hot Chocolate. However, this is the worst dessert cafe I've ever tried in NY. We've tried 4 desserts everythg so sweet. It's too bad, terrible, nothing delicious.
HannyJanuary 21, 2013Great dessert. A portion to share. But, long wait to get a table! Can be up to 1.5 hrs.
Chung HoàngSeptember 15, 2014I didn't have to wait in line because I was alone. There is a single seat table upstair that seems to be always available for lone-goers.
BollareSeptember 30, 2011Perfect for date night! Stop by this cute and cozy restaurant in midtown for their famous frozen hot chocolate. —Paulina
Meg McDMarch 13, 2014Sand Tart Sundae is Amazing! Definitely not advertised enough for how good it is!
Noelia P-RSeptember 24, 2015... I think it's called 'Tiffanys': espresso with whipped cream...!!! It was PERFECT!!!!
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011They may have highlighted it with pink and white paint, but Serendipity 3 flaunts the original, 110-year-old moulding of the building they occupy.
Dona HFebruary 18, 2015I didn't try the food here, I just had the amazing Frozen Hot Chocolate and it was spectacular!
Elia ClementeAugust 13, 2017They don't have high chairs, only booster seats. If you can bring your own do so, otherwise you have to improvise with a sweater.
Ashton WhiteNovember 13, 2012Sit in the table down stairs next to the funky mirror across from the ladies bathroom.. The waiter said Justin Bieber sat there last thanksgiving! Ha:)
Go for the peanut butter pie sundae...actually called the "Can't Say No" sundae...it's out of this world and my favorite dessert of all time. From anywhere. Ever.- Ariel JimenezOctober 14, 2013Really good. Def make RSVPs. Really recommend it. Frozen hot choco the best.
Rie SadlerAugust 12, 2014Best frozen hot chocolate in the city! Try the peanut butter and chocolate!
CompassApril 24, 2014Come to the famed sweets parlor for a Frozen Hot Chocolate, and a trip down memory lane.
__TR3VAugust 11, 2012try the Cinnamon Fudge Sundae: apple pie (warm), cinnamon ice cream, caramel topping w/ whipped cream #perfection
Neil BhatiyaSeptember 25, 2011Make a reservation, as this is a definite tourist attraction. Leave room for dessert (the meals are OK but only a precursor to the frozen hot chocolate)
Fordcast TourAugust 22, 2011Make sure to order the iced hot chocolate! It is incredible and cant be found anywhere else in the city!
Natalie Abou Zaki IsmailJanuary 18, 2015The peanut butter tart was really good. But didn't really enjoy the frozen hot chocolate.
Jennifer LantzMay 10, 2013Oh my god... Their Frrrozen Hot Chocolate has sent me straight to heaven! :)
Rose PerezJuly 13, 2019I got the humble pie. Taste like they literally took peanut butter mixed in a bit of cream on a graham cracker crust.I expect to get to taste better. strawberry Sunday average at best! over priced not
Brittany HamptonJuly 25, 2011the young chicken was a little dry but VERY good... share with a friend though, the picture was taken after I'd already eaten half!
Certainly StrangeDecember 17, 2013One of the co-founders, Stephen, was in signing books. A little history, several recipes and a splash of celebrity.
aj (andrea jo)September 19, 2010Split the specialty sundaes! They're enormous. The apple pie sundae beat out the Broadway chocolate sundae at our table for better mix of flavors.
