Aysem Ertopuz-DeoblerDecember 27, 2012it's no Christmas in NYC without a visit to Serendipity cafe. Superb hot chocolate....
KNovember 27, 2010Best known for the frozen hot chocolate but their other desserts are also amazing!
Majeela KeeganSeptember 29, 2013The food is absolutely horrid, service sucks, desserts are good, but it's not really worth all the money you pay.

Public Art FundNovember 2, 2011The sweet spot where Andy Warhol went regularly before he became well known and paid for dinner with drawings.
AmandaSeptember 6, 2010Serendip & Tiffany are my favorite specialty coffees! The dessert is all to die for...
TariqueMarch 3, 2012Have a frozen hot chocolate. Mention Tarique when you order and it'll be on the house!
Blakeley AinsworthJanuary 4, 2012Back again! This time here right when it opens so we can finally get a frozen hot chocolate!!
Denise HendersonJune 28, 2010I could eat here every night, have them seat you in the back its a little better then out front.
Keri Langkowsky GonzalezDecember 11, 2011The chili is amazing!!! but the burger brought my son to tears
MikeyMarch 4, 2014Don't even try the coffee, it's horrible. Frozen Hot Chocolate is an interesting experience, you'll like it if you like overly sweet desserts.
Andreea OdangiuJune 13, 2013Unimpressed... I really wanted to like this place. Tried the frozen hot chocolate - I would never have it again. Maybe other stuff on the menu is better...but I probably won't be back.
Gerilyn ManagoDecember 11, 2012The Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is nothing special. Topped with something that looks like but doesn't taste like whipped cream, it's like a bad attempt at a chocolate shake. #Overrated
Sara PDecember 7, 2010Host was a total ass. Take a pic of the front door & say you've been. If you venture inside, you might get more attitude than you bargained for!
Andrew SmithAugust 15, 2011Rainy day, Monday at 11:20, waited 10 minutes in line for it to open then sat a party of six with no reservations.
Emily RyanAugust 22, 2011A NYC CLASSIC. Frozen Hot Chocolate. DONE. Then, go home and watch the movie "Serendipity."
Meir SadanJune 24, 2013Summer Bries "samdwich" was okay, Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is an overglorified instant chocolate drink.
Kate IpJune 30, 2013Just come here for dessert. The frozen hot chocolate is good, but the hot dishes aren't that good.- NabeelJanuary 11, 2012Come here for dessert only. Huge portions. Late night usually has the shortest lines.
Clare ShepardMay 28, 2012It should be illegal to be eating frozen hot chocolate that tastes this good at this time of day :P
Yoly R.S.January 27, 2011Omg!!!!! You cannot come here and NOT TRY THE FROZEN HOT CHOCOLATE!!!!! Yummmm...i wish there was a Serendipity3 in LA!!!!
Sandra FoytMay 14, 2011Dylan's takes reservations, but they recommend doing so two weeks in advance.
sydney grossDecember 24, 2011order frozen hot chocolate, pink ice, or forbidden broadway sunday #heaven
Sarah AlshreefAugust 27, 2015The worst hostess/ receptionist in the world ,she is DISGUSTING, RUDE, SARCASTIC and CONDESCENDING. If you decide to go, stay away from her because she will undoubtedly ruin your dining experience.
Lilian Marrugo MantillaSeptember 25, 2014Really bad service, didn't want to charge my phone, the waiter brought the check without me even asking for it like kicking us out of the place (and it was kind of empty)

"Desserts with an Asian twist, the choices are hard to resist. Go for the tapas option and order 3 or more. The Chocolate Green Tea Lava is one of the best, and the Green Tearamisu is creatively tasty."

"A must visit. I'm not a fan of rice pudding but this place is amazing. Had the butter pecan and chocolate chip to share. Would have gladly emptied out my suitcase and filled it with rice pudding."
