    The Harvest
    Ruby C.

    Back at Spot to try their limited-time coffee dessert for white valentine's day! The presentation is so pretty, especially with the date white chocolate mousse piped into a flower shape. It tasted just as good as it looked. We literally scraped the plate clean, which pretty much says how much we enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of dates in desserts, so I was already into this. The date white chocolate mousse and dried dates brought this caramel-like sweetness that balanced the slight bitterness from the coffee. I only wish the mochi cake was a bit chewier or more mochi-y though. Also just a heads up, this dessert has caffeine and it kept me up for a bit since I had it in the evening lol.

    Matcha Lava, cookie camp, Milky Puff
    Dhriti N.

    Spot NEVER fails to deliver. Every dessert I've tried here has been so decadent and a genuine delight to eat. The matcha lava cake is my favorite dessert in this city and has always been amazing quality, blows me away every time I visit. The cookie camp was honestly also almost equally as amazing. I think if you don't enjoy matcha much this one is the absolute winner. Sweet and salty and rich, it's genuinely a warm hug if it were a dessert. The milky puff was definitely yum but was overshadowed by the other two. Nothing wrong with it, really delicious but the other two were just too good. Place is small so there's usually a wait, you can put your name down and walk around. Go early or at odd times to avoid a wait.

    Really good dessert spot in NYC, but beware that there can be a long wait on a Friday night. I highly recommend getting on the wait list early to cut down on waiting time. Even when the wait list says you're ready, be ready to still wait for an open table. Place is rather loud and energetic, kind of typical for a lot of these hip Asian restaurants. Still, you can at least still have a conversation without having to shout. The menu here has some seasonal items. I went with the Ube-rri; it is this ube mousse, blueberry compote, ube chia panna cotta, blueberry white chocolate glaze, fresh blueberries, ube chiffon cake, and mint dessert. How did it taste? Exquisite and tasty without having you feel like you're going to have diabetes when you're finished, it's one of the lighter dessert items here compared to the others. The mouse was creamy like ice cream and the chiffon cake at the bottom was crunchy like a cookie. For someone who's not into sweets too much, I really enjoyed it. Not to much to comment about the service other than it being good with the workers and waiters being attentive.

    My experience at Spot has always been good. I came here multiple times. Food quality was good and services were good. However during my last visit , I was disappointed at the way the store automatically added 20% gratuities to our bill based on the regular menu price. We were a party of 6, and we ordered the 3 desserts selections for 38.99 to share, since we just had our dinner earlier. When the bill came, we wasn't told that the gratuity was already added. We had to ask whether tips were added or not. (Since we noticed how come the bill was so high). Only after we paid, we were presented our bill, and we realized gratuity was infact 23% of our good 38.99. Gratuities were 20% based on the regular price item 44.85, instead of the 3 selection38.99 price. This was not indicated clearly on the bill and I felt I was being mispresented.

    Best Sellers Trio
    Emina S.

    got there around 11PM and were worried about timing but got seated shortly after arrival. was a cozy, buzzing space! big fan of restaurants that offer seasonal plates -- all 3 Winter desserts looked so interesting. as it was our first time there, we wanted to try the classic Best Sellers Trio: Golden Toast, Matcha Lava, Harvest (dirt pudding w/strawberries.) 100% perfect for group sharing, and there are a couple other dessert combo options. The toast was a bit of a disappointment as it was a bit hard to cut into + not very fluffy. The raspberry sorbet didn't pair well at all with the Harvest dessert. Maybe they could sub. that with a texture-rich nutty gelato or strawberry shortcake style ice cream? aside from those small few things, our desserts were boooooomb + beautifully presented. such a lively place to enjoy some fabulous dessert. I'll have to come back to try the bubble teas and the milky puff dessert.

    Cookie skillet

    SUCH A HOLE IN THE WALL. Spot dessert bar is seriously my favorite place in New York to visit. It has such creative and cool, aesthetic, desserts that all taste incredible. My partner and I made it our mission to try every single thing on the menu, and genuinely we couldn't even pick a favorite. However, there is nothing like the cookie skillet! It is really quick, there's usually a wait, but not too long and enough to do in the area that you can walk around while you wait, the best thing to do before a comedy show or after a couple of drinks! Was just back in the city for the first time in a couple of years and stopped by to show my friend, and nothing had changed. Was still able to get some of the amazing desserts with a few additions on the menu. Altogether 100% recommend.

    Came on a thursday night at around 9:30pm and this place was poppin! We put our name down and waited for about 20 minutes before getting seated. If you have a big party during busy hour, they might have to squeeze you in (we saw a group of 6 on a small table meant for 4) but we were only a party of 2 so it was ok. We got the hey jasmine (jasmine panna cotta, pandan sago, tuile, orange segments raspberry sauce, jasmine ice cream) and the matcha lava (dark chocolate cake with matcha powder, chocolate pearls, cookie crumbs, green tea ice cream). Both desserts were great! The presentation was so nice and just made it look so appetizing. I love panna cotta but I've never had a jasmine flavor one so this was new to me and I loved the floral flavor. I enjoyed the raspberry and orange flavor on the side as well. The matcha lava was delicious and it paired well with the cookie crumbs.

    Forever the best dessert spot in nyc! It's more than aesthetics this place really has such good flavor in those damn treats. I recco anything matcha here!

    Located in St. Marks, this Spot Dessert Bar location was still super busy at 11pm and is a great spot for a sweet treat with friends or a date. They have a base menu with a rotating seasonal menu for desserts. They also offer drinks (milk tea, tea, and alcohol!) and other small sweet bites. Service is quick. Desserts are good and quality is pretty consistent between locations.

    I've been here a few times and I enjoy coming back every time! There is always a bit of a wait, although that's not surprising for the city. The place is rather small and there is not much seating, so keep that in mind for larger groups. Desserts are aesthetically pleasing and just as delicious. My usual is Harvest, and I love trying their seasonal items

    Djudma C.

    The caramel miso cookie !! One of the best cookies I've ever had. So moist and gooey. It was nothing short of amazing. I can imagine it being too sweet for some but it was absolutely perfect for me and my sweet tooth. I wish I had a better picture.

    Matcha Lava
    Rana S.

    Went here with some friends when visiting the city and loved it! It is a really long wait and is always packed so I would recommend reserving a spot on the waitlist before heading over because there WILL BE A LINE. We got their 3 dessert sampler to share and it was more than enough sweets for us. The star of the show was the Golden Toast- it had the perfect crunch on the outside while still being warm and soft on the inside. And paired with ice cream and strawberries it was the perfect light and refreshing sweet treat. We also died over the Matcha Lava! That was the perfect ooey gooey dessert we needed. I feel like even if you aren't into matcha you'd like this bc the only matcha thing is the ice cream on the side (the matcha powder on the cake you don't really taste). Reminds me of the nostalgia of a chili's lava cake lol. We also ordered the Harvest which none of us were really into. It makes for a super cute picture but it just kinda tastes like a cheescake that isn't set yet. Wouldn't order it again. BUT the raspberry ice cream was fire and tastes just like the Talenti Gelato! Would def come again but would have to reserve a spot online first!

    Music appeal to the youth.My dining partner knew more but not all of th we Playlist. I learned a thing or three. Ousting options curated by Michelin star chef. The server was attentive, efficient and served with a smile (in his costume). I wanted an option advertised fron Spring /Summer menu but it was not available. I opted for another as I longed for warmer weather. I ordered a cappuccino and much to my chagrin; they only had decaf. Desserts and beverages were outstanding.Servuce with a genuine smile was the cherry on top.

    What vegan options are available here?

    They have sorbet and the lychee Granata is vegan!

    Is the a student discount?

    No. This dessert spot is the busiest in the city.

    Is the yuzu Eskimo discontinued?

    Yes

    Can we eat indoors?

    They do have indoor seating available but it is limited.

    Any vegan options?

    Yes there are! I believe the monkey bread is vegan but unsure if it's still on the menu or rotated out

    Do you need to make a reservation, or just walk in?

    Make a reservation in advance if you can but on the day of its walk in only

    Has anyone ordered to-go? Wondering if this is possible.

    Yes but it's not as great

    Do they seat you at a table or do you order and try to find a seat? If thats the case how long until someone gets up and you can sit down? Im taking my boyfriend to this place and I dont want him waiting a while on his birthday.

    They seat you at a table then you order once you are seated. (You can probably look at the menu while you are waiting). Depending on time of day, it gets really busy at night. I would try to go in the afternoon if u can

    Hi! I was wondering what you guys have tried at Spot and what your favorite desserts there are?

The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out.

The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
