Tuesday Top 5 - Brooklyn's Best

Manhattan isn’t the only borough with amazing desserts. Brooklyn has so many interesting and delicious dessert spots that it was hard to narrow it down to just five. After careful deliberation here are Tuesday’s Top 5 Brooklyn sweet shops.

5. One Girl Cookies (Cobble Hill)– this adorable bakery offers seasonal flavors in bite size morsels. There are so many flavors to choose from you’ll need to go back for a second trip.

4. Joyce Bakeshop (Prospect Heights)- a super cute shop with seating that offers pastries such as fruit galettes, brioche and whoopie pies. I love that you can see the pastry chefs hard at work in the kitchen.

3. Sweet Melissa Patisserie (Park Slope)- puddings, pies, tarts and breakfast! Traditional desserts are done beautifully and now they serve homemade ice cream at their cremerie! I also highly recommend her bakebook The Sweet Melissa Baking Book.

2. The Chocolate Room (Park Slope and Cobble Hill)– chocoholics will love the chocolate layer cake that is so rich it requires several participants or a doggie bag. I dream about this cake.

1. Baked (Red Hook)– everything at Baked is homemade and worth the trip into Red Hook. Try their newest creation, the Brookie, a yummy half cookie half brownie for a modern spin on two classics.
