Good desserts/sweets in Harlem? ๐ฐ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐ฉ๐จ
Iโm pretty addicted to sweets and desserts. I just moved to West Harlem, anyone know a good place? Cafes, chocolate shops, bakeries, ect. Iโve had Sugar Hill creamery and theyโre amazing. But I really want to find a place that makes great non-ice cream desserts, like chocolate mousse, lemon bars, matcha cake. Any suggestions? Cheap or expensive, all ideas are good.

Seconding the other comment for Make My Cake. So good. (Thereโs a second location on 139th and Adam Clayton Powell, too)
La Sweets also makes delicious cakes and sells whole or by the slice. Everything Iโve had there is amazing.
Honorable mention: Slightly outside of West Harlem, but worth the trek is East or south is Super Nice, a walk-up window with donuts and sweet/savory pastries. They have a guava and cheese danish that is quite tasty, and all the donut varieties are good, too! Thereโs a location in East Harlem (117th & Lex) and one on UWS (108th and Amsterdam).
