What’s a Cruff, you ask? It’s a glazed donuts stuffed with housemade ice cream created by the geniuses at Stuffed Ice Cream. All your dessert dreams come true, basically.
The most Instagrammable chocolate chip cookies and brownies of all time are here, with infinite swirls of color! We can’t stop staring, but we will so we can eat them!
The best way to brighten your day is with a popsicle from People’s Pops! They offer refreshing flavors like hibiscus lemonade, peach blueberry, and cold brew mocha.
Vegan ice cream like you’ve never had before. SMOOTHME's vegan nice cream is an all-natural, hand-made, friend-tested, icy blend of acai, ripe bananas, fresh fruit, and a touch of coconut crème.
Cookie dough meets hip hop lyrics. Meet your new favorite flavors: Chocolate Chip Hop Hooray (Classic Chocolate Chip), Confetti To Die (Sprinkled Sugar Cookie), The World Is S’mores (S’mores), and Nuttin’ Butter G Thang (M&Ms and Reese’s Cups).
You’ve never had banana pudding like this before. Airy light and decadent at the same time, Baonanas has reinvented the classic and gave it their own spin. Available in flavors like French Toast, Cookies & Cream, and Matcha — this is definitely an upgrade.
A fluffy pastry that originates from Eastern Europe, these twisted, spiral, chimney shaped treats are not just delicious, but fascinating to watch being made right before your eyes. Served fresh and stuffed with ice cream, these decadent treats are sure to be a delight!
I CE NY makes fresh ice cream that’s poured, frozen, smashed, and rolled right in front of you, in inventive flavors like mango sticky rice (with actual sticky rice on top!), Hong Kong milk tea, and Biscoff!
Have you ever had cheesecake that jiggles? So creamy yet airy and bouncy, it defies physics. They’ll be serving these up along their bouncy Castella cakes (ok, are these chefs wizards that can command their food to dance??), and their WOW tarts that ooze with a delicious sweet and savory cheese.
World famous baker Jay Wang of Recolte Bakery will be serving eclairs and their top notch pastries, and we could not be more excited. Considered one of the 15 essential bakeries, don’t sleep on this!
Our Canadian neighbors have a well kept secret. How is it possible we didn't know about butter tarts till now?! A gooey and decadent center wrapped in a flakey crust served warmed up.
Specializing in colorful (and tasty) donuts and infamous in Astoria, Sugar & Water makes fancy donuts with tons of sprinkles, swirls, and a bit of magic.
Classic flan, coffee ice cream, banana brulee, and coffee jelly, served with a Vietnamese espresso shot? Ok, Kochin. You have our attention. (NEED. TO. TRY.)
