Something Sweet Homemade: Staten Island, NYC

This New Dorp ice cream parlor and bakery has been crafting homemade treats since 2011, with a menu that spans ice cream, bubble tea, and macarons. Recipes lean on low-fat milk and fresh fruit and vegetables, but the real draw is the custom ice cream cakes in Asian flavors like black sesame and green tea. With a bit of lead time, they'll make a cake for any occasion. The shop is clean and the staff friendly, and fans call out the unique flavors and the fruit teas as standouts.
