    For that serious chocolate craving get the Chocolate Forest. Rich, dense chocolate mousse cake with a gooey centre.

    I don't know or care if they are Asian inspired, but this place is the best desserts in NY and I've had a lot. The harvest and the mango thing were amazeballs.

    A NYC treasure that tops more well-known dessert places. Pichet changes the menu seasonally, so the awesome rice pudding was no longer there, but every tapas item is always a phenomenal surprise.

    You may have to wait a while but remedy that with a lot of chocolate green tea lava cake. Be prepared to use your fork as a weapon because who needs enemies when your friends ravage your plate, right?

    Interesting desserts in this low-key spot. Be prepared for a wait, even on weekdays. They have a "dessert per person" minimum.

    Delicious dessert tapas! If you're lucky, you will spot the elusive unicorn ... organic, flourless, vegan red velvet cake. Do not share this.

    Wood tables and good lighting make this is the best Spot location. The one in Ktown feels like a rowdy cafeteria.

    Chocolate Forest - baked, dehydrated, and blended green-tea powder with chocolate, cookies-and-cream, and green tea. Looks like moss

    Dessert omakase is a little of an over-kill, but do get the Chocolate Lava and Kabocha Brulee Cake.

    Deserts very over the top Japanese style. Only downside is you can not switch the ice cream flavors that come with your desert

    Move over cupcakes! Macarons are here to stay. Gently crunchy on the outside and light as air inside, these colorful meringue cookies are the toast of New York, and nobody makes them quite like Spot. Read more
