Serious Eats: We love seasonal sweets like the spicy-crusted linzer tart; but all year, you'll find one of the best coconut cakes in NYC; extra-buttery scones; and mini vanilla, caramel, or chocolate profiteroles. Read more.
Serious Eats: Best Nut-Topped Doughnut: Banana-Pecan Cake doughnut. The banana element is subtle but present; between the sweet, delicate crumbs and the toasty chopped pecans, it's an incredibly tasty specimen. Read more.
7th.List: Flourless Chocolate Cake - perfect in its own way, dark chocolate. On the sweet side, it satisfies cravings and morphs into another creature completely when warmed and topped off with a pour of cream. Read more.
