This well-known takeout bakery lives up to its stellar reputation. It is a cupcake and dessert heaven, set in a gritty neighborhood near the Lincoln Tunnel. The cakes are considered masterpieces of pastry art, beautifully decorated with sumptuous butter cream icing in the shape of blooming flowers. The café also serves daily lunch specials, and one of their cupcakes makes an excellent finale to a meal. Although it may seem a little bit out of the way, your taste buds will thank you.
