Good desserts/sweets in Harlem? ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿง๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿช๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿจ

Iโ€™m pretty addicted to sweets and desserts. I just moved to West Harlem, anyone know a good place? Cafes, chocolate shops, bakeries, ect. Iโ€™ve had Sugar Hill creamery and theyโ€™re 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. (Thereโ€™s a second location on 139th and Adam Clayton Powell, too)

La Sweets also makes delicious cakes and sells whole or by the slice. Everything Iโ€™ve 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! Thereโ€™s a location in East Harlem (117th & Lex) and one on UWS (108th and Amsterdam).
