One of the reasons I love Asian dessert places is because I am a sucker for flavors like matcha, taro, black sesame and red bean. Sweet Moment NYC has all that and more! They're a fairly new dessert cafe located in between Soho and Little Italy. The ambiance is on the quirky side which matches the eclectic range of desserts they offer. There's so many we wanted to try (which means we plan to go back) but both settled on bingsoo, their signature dessert which is milk shaved ice topped with all sorts of goodies. I got the matcha black sesame which had condensed milk black sesame sauce, rice cakes, cereal, matcha sauce, red bean, matcha ice cream, white chocolate shavings and strawberry. Alexa got the tiramisu which had lady fingers, expresso syrup, rice cake, mascarpone cream, chocolate flakes, brownies and pirouette sticks. Even though this all sounded sweet and possibly heavy on paper, the dessert itself was SO refreshing. We happened to go after a long and tiring (but fun) day and this was the perfect treat. It was just the right amount of sweet, flavorful and filling. Next time we go I want to try their ice cream deluxe (no surprise there) and creamart lattes.
You can find Sweet Moment NYC at 106 Mott Street.

Sweet Moment is still such a delightful place to visit for sweets and drinks! I went this year with Rachel, and we still really enjoyed what they had on offer.
