"By Clio is one of the many bakeries born out of pandemic baking. Clio Goodman opened her first dessert shop, Puddin’, over a decade ago in the East Village, but started baking in her apartment and selling cakes and other treats at pop-ups before opening her storefront in Gowanus in 2022. The case is stocked with a wide array of flavors, with many more unique flavor combos than you’ll typically see, such as chocolate-apple shoyu, sumac-strawberry labneh, and pistachio, mango, and saffron. For something more classic, the mocha cake is a must — one of those cakes you know you won’t be able to stop eating. Do not miss the Thai tea passionfruit cake if you see it in the display, too." - Mike Chau
