"When a pastry chef opens a tapas bar, the desserts are just as important as the bites of jamón-studded croquetas. That’s the case at Maripili, where you can have raspberry sugar-dusted churros dunked in white chocolate crème fraîche, bone marrow cake with rice pudding crema, or Galician almond cake with torched marshmallow and a turrón semifreddo we’d gladly slurp clean off the floor. Say what you will about fried potatoes and pan-seared fish—you could just as easily hop in here for a glass of cava and some sweets." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
