Our story began in New York's Chinatown. Inspired by the constant innovation of the city, we decided to fuse sweet soups in traditional Hong Kong style with modern desserts. Only the most sophisticated cooking methods and finest ingredients (including all the freshest mangoes) are used to create handcrafted desserts like our Mango Mochi, Green Tea Mille Crepe, Durian Dessert Bowl, and Mo Mo Cha Cha. Every item is prepared with care to contain just the right amount of sweetness and is served in an atmosphere thoughtfully designed for leisure and relaxation.
Brigadeiro Bakery may not be even a decade old, but it has already garnered much mainstream buzz with its authentic Brazilian desserts, served in a warm setting. If you ever wondered what would be the Latin American version of those heavenly chocolate truffles, then it has to be the decadent brigadeiros. Founder-chef Mariana Viera brags a Culinary Arts degree, and remains the driving force behind those divine chocolate goodies. For the clueless, brigadeiro is a classic Brazilian candy, which has elements of a truffle, caramel and a fudge.

Wowfulls
Wowfulls specializes in creating authentic Hong Kong egg waffles. Everything from taste to texture! They are also known as Gai Dàn Jai. We want to introduce one of Hong Kong's top 10 street food snacks to New York City in a whole new way. We wrapped our sweet waffle into a cone shape and serve with ice cream! Not only do we want to share this traditional snack that first appeared in the 1950's, but to incorporate more flavors such as Green Tea and Chocolate in the mix. Although, with so many possible "Wowfulls Creation" we will still leave a taste of history of Gai Dàn Jai in each new flavor to come.
Located on East 7th Street, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is a family-friendly establishment that has been specializing in decadent treats since 2008.

This East Village location carries the full selection of gourmet desserts including vegan ice cream flavors. They also offer milkshakes, sundaes, and other sweet treats.
