Dessert Delivery is a delivery operation. They (primarily) buy cookies, brownies, cakes, and desserts from New York City's top bakers (per Zuh-gaht) and deliver them. They do have a cute li'l shop in midtown, but I would think they are primarily interested in delivering large doses of sugar to fat, lazy people who either don't know better or are unwilling or unable to get off their ass and find something truly worth the massive calorie count.
Mirroring the minimal creative effort that goes into their operation, I too have decided to "distribute" my opinions based on the findings of the top yelpers that have sampled them – with some texture of my own experiences at DD. So, here's my take on what the top food critics at yelp experienced:
"Say it with flour" is… their… motto… LOOKS a lot better than it tastes… I really felt that you could taste the flour… but… I needed it NOW… the… Hawaiian sex… cookies… were… ginormous … but… soft in the middle… like… putty in your hands…and… took an entire afternoon to finish… meh… I've had better…I definitely will not be back."
I have three words: Key Lime Kukla… oh, and one more…
FAIL.
After feeling burned out by the dessert trucks around NYC, I knew it was time to go to a dessert place/bakery. And this place was the closest place to where I was staying while waiting for a delivery from UPS.
I went in. There weren't many people in the store. The owners seemed quite proud of their yummies, making sure to talk about how some of their goods were on Oprah and everything.
I had a really hard time choosing what to get. But, in the end, I decided on a chocolate chip cookie, a slice of carrot cake, and a red velvet cupcake.
Sadly for you chocolate chip cookie fans, it's prettier looking than it actually tastes. Go over to Levain's on the west side.
For those of you, who like carrot cake with raisins, their carrot cake is amazing! If not a fan of the raisins, move on. There's absolutely no reason why you should feel sad…there's other yummy desserts to be happy about!
The best thing about their place is definitely the red velvet – it's the reason why you go out and buy red velvet cupcakes. Forget about the red velvet from Magnolia Bakery or Crumbs. This one trumps its all!
I love Sam and his lovely store!!!
The store is cozy, warm, full of life and energy!!
Be forewarned, DO NOT TALK ON YOUR CELL PHONE while in the store; it is rude and there are signs to warn you of this.
Now on to the yummies and there are quite a bit to chose from!! I love everything in this store! When I use to work nearby, we would order birthday cakes from DD. Then when we had functions at the job, we would order huge platters with a variety of goodies.
Everything is moist, fresh (some are seasonal like the strawberry napoleons – one of my favs) and unique. I think anything with chocolate here is a must try!!
I've moved to the 50th state and daydream about the goodies here all the time! I wish there was a dessert place like this in Hawai'i.
I happened to be strolling through the Upper East Side one afternoon when I came across an adorable bake shop located within a quaint brick building. My sweet tooth encouraged me to peek into the window for further investigation. I had never heard of the bakery and its bland name, but immediately noticed its Zagat food quality rating of 28 posted in the window. At that point, I knew that I had to forgo any pledge of healthy eating to indulge with a pastry.
I entered the store and drooled over mini tarts, massive cookies, and other decadent goodies. I greeted the man behind the counter and inquired about the history of the shop. Apparently, it had been around for a few years and was the highest-ranked bakery in the city, according to Zagat.
After a lengthy internal debate, I decided to order an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, assuming that it might be healthier than some of the more elaborate treats. However, the doughy disk was gigantic. The addicting, homemade flavor tasted like raw dough packed with cinnamon raisin seasoning. I was completely entranced by the tender doughiness and proceeded to devour the entire cookie within 5 minutes.
I even went back for a second visit a month or so later, at which point I sampled the large Chocolate Chip Cookie that was stuffed with chunks of dark chocolate. The treat also possessed that same raw dough flavor. I had to muster up my restraint to limit myself to only a few bites, so that I could deliver the rest of the calories to my brother.
Dessert Delivery was the true hidden gem of my dreams. Their affordable and tasty delicacies really define the word "treat". Thankfully, I am rarely in Dessert Delivery's neighborhood or it would be my second home!
4* for the old shop
1* for changes including closing the shop = 2*!
Desert Delivery was a very cute shop somewhat off the beaten path on a side street south of Queensboro bridge. It was one of the places that truly captured the classic upper Manhattan feel.
I'm not sure what the backstory is, but I think the 'hood already misses Sam and what he had to offer. I remember the first time I walked by the shop and peered in on a Friday evening. The shop was closed, but Sam invited me in to share some fresh Challah he was having himself!
The cookies, Challah bread, and white chocolate lemon mousse will be especially missed!
I needed a cookie and I needed it NOW. I had a salty-ish lunch and I needed to counterbalance the salt with some sweetness.
I had heard so many great things about this place and their ginormous cookies. I think I had actually drooled all over my keyboard once just looking at the pictures posted online.
I finally was able to experience one today.
Eh…they were ok. They were certainly no Levain…that's for sure!
I thought they were especially doughy and I really felt that you could taste the flour. I think that the cookie definitely LOOKS a lot better than it tastes.
So I am glad that I finally got to taste one…but I definitely will not be back. I will walk the extra few blocks to Levain for a phat cookie that is done right!
Free Delivery, Awesome cupcakes, Great service
I called to have a few cupcakes delivered to my colleagues in another office. No other cupcake place in NYC would deliver for free and they were insisting I order a minimum of 16 cupcakes.
Dessert Delivery let me order a dozen and happily delivered it for free within the hour. The lady that took my order was really helpful and sweet and my colleagues absolutely loved the assorted cupcakes.
Highly recommend them.
