Brightly-lit cafe known for its desserts and made famous by Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in 'You've Got Mail'. Open Mon 12am-2am, 8am-2am; Tue-Thu 8am-2am; Fri 8am-4am; Sat 9am-4am; Sun 9am-12am
Grom
2165 Broadway (between 76th St & 77th St) New York City, NY 10024
(646) 290-7233
One of the newest dessert sensations onthe UWS: a gelato parlor direct from Italy, very good quality, although some still question if any single scoop of gelato can really be worth $5.00 a pop...
Bouchon Bakery
10 Columbus Circle New York City-Upper Westside, NY 10019
(212) 823-9364
A repeat entry here from the "Best Brunch UWS" category. Amazing pastries, cookies, and other sweet delicacies from the same folks that created Per Se and French Laundry. Open Weekdays 11:30am-9pm; Weekends 10am-9pm
Levain Bakery
167 W 74th St New York City, NY 10023
(212) 874-6080
This tiny place's specialty is amazing, humongous, delicious cookies. Chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin...all are fabulous. Open Mon-Sat 8am-7pm; Sun 9am-7pm
Buttercup Bake Shop
141 W 72nd St New York City, NY 10023
(212) 787-3800
Somewhat arbitrary entry here for the best specialty place for cupcakes on the UWS, though many will argue for rival Crumbs (321 Amsterdam Ave) to be at least as good. Try them both and decide for yourself...
Cafe des Artistes
1 W 67th St New York City, NY 10023
(212) 721-3100
Solid UWS pick for excellent desserts in a higher-end restaurant setting. (Most other entries in this category are dessert specialty places.) Several other UWS restaurants could fit the bill here, including Ouest, Cesca, Telepan. Cafe des Artistes has the particular advantage of being situated near Lincoln Center, making it convenient for an after-theater stop. Open til midnight, too.
