Amazing brick oven bread – definitely try the chocolate or prosciutto. The sugary cookies with the raspberry filling are divine.
Old-school pastry shop serving an incredibly rich and dense Italian cheesecake. The pastries are equally divine – which is why there’s a line out the door.
Mini Choco-Banana Cupcake: Miniature stuffed cupcakes will give you all the flavor but a little less of the guilt.
Baba Rum Pastry: A sponge thats soaked in a rum flavored syrup filled with custard, cannoli cream or plain.
You must have the monstrous Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie…if it can still be called a cookie.
They have a vast custom cake menu that allows you to pick and choose the type of cake, filling and frosting you would like. The red velvet with cream cheese frosting is the way to go. Read more.
You pick your flavor of ice cream and they make the ice cream sandwich in front of your eyes. Or choose your cookie and they bake your cookies while you wait.
Coconut Almond Nutella Macaroon: Many say that macaroons are the new cupcakes. When you taste this awesome East Village delight you might understand why.
Chocolate Sorbet: New York Magazine described this as 'more like a refreshingly cold ganache, a looser pot de crème, or an artisanal Fudgsicle'. Absolutely incredible!
Find them at the Brooklyn Flea or at locations around the city. You must try the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate!
This place might just have the best bagels in New York. And really nice staff too. Seriously, go check it out!
It's not quite Paris, but the macarons here are some of the city's finest. Try the jasmine green tea or the salted caramel.
Try the pretzel croissant, perfect mix of sweet and salty! And their chocolate chip cookies are second to none! They have a good salad bar too if you need to be healthy.
They are incredibly kind! On premise bakery with a simple selection of breads and wonderful homemade spreads. They'll be expanding soon to muffins and baked "donuts"
If you haven't been the the Maison Ladurée in Paris, this is a must. If you have been, this is still a must. At $2.75 per macaron, feel free to splurge. We recommend the salted caramel.
If you're in the mood for pizza, get it. It's great here. But what we really come for is the panini dolce, a big sandwich cookie. They are simply unreal.
What's that smell? Ah, it's Soutine's just baking some cakes and pastries! Their croissants are as good as it gets, don't leave without getting the pain au chocolat.
Established in 1921, closed in 1986 to favor NJ locations, reopened in 2007 by the same Italian family. Much of the fixtures are original, but it's marred by a flat-screen TV.
Established 1902 and continuously family owned and operated with some remodeling. The coal oven was originally in the basement, but moved upstairs in the 1950s.
Established 1904 as Caffe Pugliese, continuously family owned and operated. The storefront has been remodeled somewhat.
Established 1891. A Little Italy institution. Long counters, wood cabinets, a green pressed-tin ceiling, and inch-wide black and white hexagonal floor tiles with an array of classic Italian pastries.
Try the delicate cassis macaron, two almond-based meringues encasing a luscious cream filling that’s brightened with tart cassis. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Best Mini Doughnut: Stuffed with sweet, seed-speckled raspberry jelly. The lovely little crunch as you break through the powdered sugar poof is pure bliss. Read more.
Best Bomboloni: The one filled with vanilla pastry cream is our favorite, but the chunky caramelized apple and raspberry are excellent as well. Read more.
Best Jam Doughnut: Lightly dusted in powdered sugar, this baby oozes an excellent sweet-tart housemade raspberry jam, hugged by a yeasty, even-crumbed interior. Read more.
All Around Good: An all-around reliable classic coffee/doughnut shop. There's not too many places like this left in NYC, and the prices are unbelievable: a dozen doughnuts for just $4.50. Read more.
The greatest cannoli you can imagine is at Villabate Alba, which has been around for over 80 years and is located a block from where I used to live, says Suzanne Corso, author of Brooklyn Story. Read more.

Fluffy, tasty baked goods here, perfect to stop in for breakfast or lunch. We recommend the French baguettine and the almond brioche toast. Yum!
Their frosting rocks and for 3 bucks a pop, the cupcakes are well worth it. They also offer a cupcake class which is awesome if you're like us and not a great baker.
Best cheesecake ever. Strawberry. Omg. I die. I've been thinking about this for 2 days straight. Must go back.
Sandra Lee, of Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, recommends the classic cookie company, Eleni's for their cupcakes and artistically decorated sugar cookies. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more.
