Me Do Desserts

"When we walked into this tiny Bensonhurst dessert shop and smelled durian, we immediately knew we were in for a good time. For fellow enthusiasts of the fragrant king of fruits, we recommend the creamy, blended Durian Supreme, a tong sui loaded with tiny tapioca pearls. The taro balls are housemade, and Me-Do’s refreshing ice jellies are their bestsellers in the summer heat, but our favorite menu item here might be the snow white base—a lightly coconutty ice cream-like pudding—topped with fresh mango and purple glutinous rice." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja

"There are a lot of Asian dessert shops in Bensonhurst. Me-Do is located directly across the street from one of the most popular—the often-crowded Mango Mango—and it's just as good. There’s only one table inside and two on the sidewalk, but all of Me-Do’s menu items are easily available to-go. Get the Durian Supreme, a tapioca and purple rice dessert packed with fresh, fragrant durian. You can add ice cream, but there’s enough going on without it. To satisfy your stranger cravings, they also have startlingly detailed sleeping bear mousse cakes in flavors like lychee, strawberry, and mango. " - carina finn koeppicus, neha talreja
