Dessert By Michael Allen Cafe

The quality of this restaurant consistently meets the high standards of Manhattan establishments.

We are thrilled that we can now order Michael Allen's desserts online. We used to love visiting his shop when it was nearby. It was a delightful treat for my husband's birthday to be able to surprise him with some delicious macarons.

I believe this restaurant is receiving more hype than it deserves. I ordered a fancy dessert with cocoa dusting, a hazelnut chocolate ganache with chocolate and brownie layers, which sounded delicious. However, it ended up tasting like plastic and I was not impressed. On the other hand, the raspberry sorbet was decent - it had a standard tart and smooth flavor. Overall, I found the prices to be too high for the quality of food.
