The Best Desserts In NYC

"Cake is hard to do well. It can be dry, crumbly, and just kind of boring. However, the Principessa cake at Sant Ambroeus is something we’d go out of our way to eat again. Layers of sponge are soaked with an amount of syrup that feels borderline inappropriate, sandwiched between two different kinds of cream, and topped with a pink marzipan shell that feels very princess-y indeed. Once you have this, it'll be hard to convince yourself to try other desserts here, but you should. We recommend ordering a freddo cappuccino, which has toasty, slightly bitter notes that compliment the cake suspiciously well. Almost as though they planned it. " - carina finn koeppicus
