City Cakes

City Cakes cookies are on the flatter side, but still manage to have that perfect combination of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Their cookies are all a half-pound, and should be topped with frosting and sprinkles for the full effect. Definitely a cookie that takes days to eat, but is totally worth it.

Levain Bakery

Levain is the original creator of the big fluffy cookie, and is also a great go-to for melty, classic flavors. Their dark chocolate peanut butter surpasses all competitors, but they also serve chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin.

The Donut Pub

The Donut Pub is more than just good donuts; it has cronuts that rival popular cronut-carrier Dominique Ansel. Their cronuts are decadent and melt in your mouth. Salted caramel is the best, but other great cronuts include Cannoli Cream and S'mores. The best part: they're open 24 hours.

Chip NYC

Chip delivers the classics well (think chocolate chip, chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate peanut butter), but where they really shine is their unique flavor combinations built around holidays and flavor contests. Favorites include their "Snickersdoodle," "Hot Fudge Sundae," "Carrot Cake," and "Baklava" cookies. The menu rotates through four cookies daily, so be sure to check their Instagram story often for the flavors of the day. Their cookies are big and fluffy, crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

Two Little Red Hens

The best cupcakes in NYC; they're rich, flavorful, and have frosting fillings within the cake that make the long line worth it. The Brooklyn Blackout (four layers of chocolate cake, three layers of chocolate pudding filling, and fudge frosting) and peanut butter chocolate are two highlights, and are served in both regular and mini sizes to ensure you can try all their flavors. Also be sure to try their cheesecake.
