Amanda CrawfordAugust 21, 2016I stopped here to pick up something yummy for my friend's bday. Everything looked so good! I got her a little set of 4 cake pops. The manager and staff were very nice and I'll definitely be back.
Carolina MirandaMay 14, 2012Black & whites and hamantaschen are the headliners here, but don't overlook the scrumptious butter cookies -- covered in almonds or filled with raspberry jam. These are WHOA NELLY good.
Alyssa B.January 17, 2022The only shop that convinced me to finally try the black and white cookie after living in NYC for so long
Paige CApril 10, 2021So fresh and delicious. The sprinkle cookies are my favorite. Tempted to try everything on the menu.
Cara DSeptember 4, 2013Salted caramel cake is the best thing I've ever had! Red velvet black and whites are also amazing!! Can't go wrong with anything here!
Serious EatsAugust 10, 2013Black and white cookies, chocolate-y babka, and other classic New York desserts.- Serious EatsAugust 1, 2013The black and white cookies here are a step above most of the selection in New York.
M. Silver AssociatesFebruary 2, 2012Black & White Cookies! You might think you've had a black and white cookie, but we challenge you, have you really had a good one? Thick and spongey, more like portable, hand-sized cake than a cookie.
Best black-and-white and frosted black-and-white red velvet cookies in Manhattan
Their schnecken are incredible. You don't know what schnecken are??? Well. Time to go to Greenberg!
ToryBurchMay 5, 2011The bakery of choice on the Upper East Side. Come here for birthday cakes, as well as black-and-white brownies and cookies.
Ben GaspariniOctober 6, 2016Mini black and whites were good. Hard to tell what pastry options they even had though.
NearSay NYCJanuary 18, 2012Black and white cookies are a must. We also recommend the chocolate brownies.
