Towering Shaved Snow in a Bustling Koreatown Cafe

Grace Street is the kind of Koreatown stop that turns a dessert run into an event. Start with the shaved snow, piled high enough to take over the table, then make room for the tiramisu basque cheesecake, which pairs sweet cream with a subdued cake. For texture, go for the Dubai Chewy Cookie, with pistachio cream and crunchy kataifi wrapped in stretchy marshmallow and dusted with cocoa. Cookie batches are limited, and a wait comes with the territory. To drink, the menu leans into fruit and floral options, including strawberry lychee green tea.

Large tables make room for bigger groups, though the space often gets drafty and very loud once the crowd builds. Treat it as a quick sweet fix on West 32nd Street, with doors open from 11 AM until 11 PM most nights, eleven thirty PM on Thursday, and midnight on Friday and Saturday.
