it's been a while. So i decided to go back with the family and now I'm kind of disappointed and won't be back for a while again. I had a party of 7 and usually we share like 4 desserts and drinks since the dessert is shareable and came from a hefty dinner. This time they told me and my party we were mandated to get 7 whole desserts and 7 drinks! I think that is a little too much especially after a dinner. We usually share a good amount of dessert and drinks. Plus we were eating outside 1 hour before closing, it's not like we were getting one dessert. I was disappointed with the service I received. Although we tried the new items that were so good. Since we had to get 7 desserts we got one of everything. The bill ended up over $150 just for dessert and to me i don't think it's worth it anymore. I had a bigger party and never had a problem before. The matcha lava is my favorite! If you want to try it out, I'd recommend but the service and how it went down to where i had to spend over $150 on desserts is not worth it and couldn't share.

This was my first time finally trying Spot Dessert Bar. I tried their combo of 2 desserts + 2 drinks/2 pastries for around $35 and although portions are a bit small especially for the price, the desserts were good nonetheless. I ordered the golden toast and the harvest and both were delicious. Service and seating was also very prompt despite the rush. The spot is nice for a late night dessert for date night!

I usually love the Harvest (plant dessert) but it didn’t have the same flavor as the st marks place. This location’s oven also broke so we couldn’t try any warm desserts. My friends loved the chestnut dessert though. And I enjoyed the rose milk tea it came with as part of the desserts for 3 special. Clean, & limited seating available but was nearly empty when we went (full by the time we left - we got lucky)!

My favorite place for dessert! The space is small but you never wait long. The staff is fast and friendly. The music is always really good. The menu is AMAZING! Don’t miss out on the matcha lava anything & the golden toast!

It’s a very busy place for dessert in Flushing. When we went there for afternoon tea the other day, the place was nearly full. Although they didn’t have enough staff working there, the two waiters who worked there were very efficient. Bubble tea is not overly sweet which is right to my taste. Their dessert presentation is excellent, same as the taste. However, if you don’t have a sweet teeth like I do, I would recommend to order regular coffee or tea to pair with dessert. Also, don’t be bother to use their app for waiting list since the staff are too busy to check. It would be quicker if you just walk in to wait for a table.

Went there this past Friday night to enjoy some desserts with my sister - one of the best experiences I ever had. The quality and taste were amazing, the staff was so kind, and they had outdoor seating that honestly made it perfect for the cappuccino we were drinking. When I'm back in Flushing I need to come back here!!!

A very cute dessert spot and tasty too! I brought my 10 year old as my date and we enjoyed it! He ordered the harvest which is cake in a pot where it looks like a plant, he wasn’t crazy about it but I liked it! More for an adult palette however he loved what I got! I ordered the milk puff and it was so good I wish I ordered two because he ate mine lol

Creative, Brilliant and Accessible Desserts! A place you don't need to spend $100 a night for great desserts. We actually got 3 desserts for $34 (which is a great deal in NYC) People may get bored of this place but I don't! My favorite is Matcha Lava Cake! The combination of matcha and chocolate is top notch. Not only the flavors, but the dish also delivers a sensible experience of hot, melting chocolate lava and cold ice cream. It's like heaven and earth! The other desserts are also on the point! Hot crispy toasties dipping in whipped cream and ice cream is a classic. And the harvest was my friend's favorite! It's yogurt with cookies crumbles with wise flavor combinations. The service was great! We didn't take more 2 minutes to get the table. The space might get a little small. So it's perfect for a small party from 2 to 4

Absolutely loved Spot Dessert Bar! I got the Golden Toast and it was delicious. The right amount of sweetness complimented with the ice cream and strawberries. The service was phenomenal! The lady who helped us was so caring and was very attentive the entire time we were there. Thank you! In terms of the location itself, it's pretty tight in there but they are very quick and it is a very lively atmosphere! I definitely recommend!

The desserts are so aesthetically cute but it's so overrated. We got their summer seasonal desserts (the normal ones would probably be better..???) and they were really not that good. Service was good though. They explained what each dessert was as when it was brought over to us. Seating arrangements are cramped.

LIC review with photos of most of their other desserts (same review here:) https://www.yelp.com/biz/spot-dessert-bar-long-island-city?hrid=vq5ObhHRGj3L4Jcnu_0-_Q I've been to multiple locations of this fancy Asian dessert bar and my review is essentially the same for all of them though there are some key differences between them. The main thing is of course that the Flushing one and especially the East Village one are much more crowded than the Long Island City one so if you're looking to share some desserts and chat; I might recommend going to their LIC location but I presume if you're looking at this review, you'd likely be going to a place in Flushing so whatever. The photos are separated by location but you'll see a copy and paste for the other spots outside of this part. Short review: In terms of their normal menu, my preference here is likely the Matcha Lava and Milky Puff with the Golden Toast and Harvest being alright. The latter is just a bit too pricey compared to the more composed desserts here. In terms of seasonal fall/autumn stuff, the Eye Of The Dragon and Autumn Trifle are both excellent and we didn't try the Jjan Hae or Kabocha Pie which is the current seasonal vegan option. The omakase is an excellent deal if you're going with five others which comes with 5 desserts, 3 pastries, and a fancy fruity green tea. If you're going to get a pastry, the Matcha Lava cookie is excellent with the Caramel Miso being alright and their Pasteis De Nata are both overpriced and terrible. As the prices match per dessert ($14.45,) I'm not listing them. Otherwise this is in order of preference with S before the dessert name meaning seasonal/not always available. Excellent: Matcha Lava- Warm dark chocolate cake filled with matcha ganache, served with matcha green tea ice cream. Good quality chocolate mixed with the semi bitter matcha. It's both well presented and also taste delicious. (S) Eye Of The Dragon- Sticky longan pudding cake, soaked in palm sugar caramel sauce served with condensed milk ice cream. There was plenty of longan flavor which I would describe as a almost musky lychee and the cake was also on the sweet end. This was balanced by the palm sugar caramel poured at the table which had a slight bitterness. Very good: (S) Autumn Yuzu Trifle- Layered lemon chiffon cake, soaked in verbena tea, poached red wine pear and homemade mascarpone cream. The dessert (at least in LIC) was composed at the table which was a nice touch. There was plenty of lemon flavor though not nearly enough yuzu for my liking. I wasn't overly sour though with the mascarpone adding some richness. The cake was delicate and the red wine pears both topped and also found inside had juiciness. Excellent. Milky Puff- Warm puff pastry, brûlée bananas, white chocolate honey comb, corn flakes, served with condensed milk ice cream. Not too sweet with a good mix of textures. The banana is probably the best part of it with a good crisp and sweetness. Good: The Harvest- Layers of berries, soft cheesecake, oreo crumbs, earl grey milk tea served with raspberry sorbet. This has the best presentation of all the desserts and might be worth it just for this. However, I find the flavors a little bit bland compared to the other things here. Golden Toast- Warm crispy honey buttered toast, strawberries, served with condensed milk ice cream Just an amped up version of this HK classic. The texture of the toast is nice and the strawberries are fresh but there's other spots for this exact dessert and either a bigger portion or much less. Others/Pastries: Matcha Lava Cookie: Excellent. Good texture Caramel Miso: Couldn't taste the miso but good texture and not as sweet as expected Pasteis De Nata: Terrible texture with a bad custard. Worst thing here. In short, the average dessert here is probably a mid/low 3 while the seasonal stuff was a low/mid 4 and the pastries are a mid 3 outside of the prices. 3.6-3.8 for all spots with this one being the lowest as it's just too crowded and the seats are too close. Still good though I prefer the other locations.

It's a cute location in Flushing but it has competition from better dessert shops. I didn't like that I had to download an app just to order and pay and I couldn't do it at the counter even though there was someone there. The Milky puff itself was very yummy with ice cream, cream puff and lots of crunchy cereal

Made the mistake of getting the Peachy Pome ($14.45). It was disgustingly sweet cuz it's encased in a white chocolate shell. Had I known beforehand that it has white chocolate, I wuda gotten 1 of my usuals instead. The peach reduction or jam or whatever was too sweet as well. The 2 layers underneath were sour & nothing balanced out. It was really difficult to finish.

I tried a wide variety of dishes at Spot and each one of them delivered. I had the toast, the milky puff, the miso caramel cookie, and the matcha chocolate cookie. My favorite was the toast and the miso caramel cookie as they are very decadent and the textures were satisfying. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Alongside that, the service was amazing. The staff were very attentive and helpful, making room for my party of 12 when the restaurant was fully packed. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy and makes for a great late night hangout spot. Overall, a great dessert spot with many unique options.

3.5 / 5.0 - My friend and I were in Flushing for the afternoon and decided to stop by Spot Dessert Bar for a tea break. I'd had the flagship location in East Village bookmarked for a while, but this was my first time. It's not a large cafe, but fortunately, there was one table open when we arrived, so we were seated right away. You order and pay on the app. To order, you need to register yourself on the Apollo app, which was bothersome--you can't just order as a "guest;" you need to become a member. Additional note: There is a one dessert minimum. After we ordered, they brought out our dessert and drinks pretty quickly. We ordered: - The Harvest ($14.45+) - Hot Honey Yuzu Tea ($4.95+) The Harvest was such a cute dessert. It looked like an actual plant, but the "dirt" was made with Oreo crumbs and inside the planter was also berries and soft cheesecake, which was delicious. The earl grey milk and raspberry sorbet was a nice touch as well. The Hot Honey Yuzu Tea was good, too. Note: They do not have tea spoons, so you need to use a large spoon to stir. Based on their ordering system and the dessert prices, this wouldn't be my first choice for tea time, but if you're looking for a unique, tasty dessert, it's worth a try.

Small shop but super tasty desserts. I have to give it 4 stars because I do feel like the desserts are a bit pricey. I had the honey waffle and cheesecake flower pot dessert and they were both yummy. Service wasn't bad and we got the desserts quite fast. The place is very small but quite so it was a nice experience

SPOT is the quintessential New York City dessert spot if you have not been to any others yet. It is like the stepping stone to greater giants. They do change their menu sometimes but very infrequently as most of the menu items are classics such as the French toast and the matcha chocolate lava cake. My old favorite used to the deconstructed cheesecake but they have not had that in a while. I think that was even before the Queens location opened. Needless to say the desserts are and have always been very aesthetically please and have the sweetness to keep you up at night. A little extra sweet for me but it's no bother since it's expected! I really liked their chocolate pot dessert. The lava cake I know is very popular but for me it's always been too sweet. I like more subtle tastes. But you still can't go wrong with any of the dishes especially if you're out with friends or on a date.

Late night dessert is here. It has multiple locations throughout NY so it is easy to stumble across one. Amazing dessert at reasonable prices. My cousins and I got the toast and let me tell you, savory and sweet in one place and it def does not disappoint your taste bud. Very nice place and amazing service.

Located 5 to 7 mins walk away from the Flushing Main subway station, this is a good place to get a dessert which I believe is with an Asian twist. The place though is pretty small, not much crowded on weekdays but not sure how it is during weekends especially since it's hard to get a place at their Manhattan location! The ambience is pretty chill though they can improve a bit on the seating as it felt a bit congested. Service though is pretty quick with the server quickly taking the order and delivering it within 8-10 minutes. I had ordered their signature Golden toast as a friend had recommended to me earlier. It certainly lived up to the hype! They had fried the bread in butter( clarified butter/ghee, I guess) which gave it an amazing taste while it was soft and crispy enough. One scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipping cream was a good combination along with a fresh strawberry slice! Overall, it was satisfying to my sweet craving. Definitely looking to visit the place and trying out more!

Walked in with friends on a Monday night and it was still quite busy. The location is very narrow so I wouldn't recommend coming with a large group. Many people were wearing their jackets since the space is small and the door is constantly opening and it was cold outside. The desserts are always good and pretty consistent every time. Their holiday desserts like their dragon eye are very good. I was surprised they had alcoholic drinks but it's a nice though. If I were craving desserts it would probably be on my list again.

Came here for a refreshment. Had a golden toast which was a popular dish. The toast was sweet and brittle. Along with vanilla ice cream, cookie crumbles, strawberries, and whipped cream. Was delicious and sweet. Plus a cruffin as a small bread with slightly sweet flavour. The place was clean. Had a QR code at every table to order.

A go-to dessert spot when nothing else comes to mind. You always know exactly what to expect with these desserts and they always hit the spot to satisfy my sweet tooth. I love how aesthetic they are and sometimes they may look small, but they definitely fill you up! I've tried all the signature desserts, most of the cookies and some of the ice creams. The seasonal desserts are always fun to try and my absolute favorite (that I still dream about) is the pear!! These desserts definitely add up in price very quickly and do not have the same taste or presentation effect when ordered to-go. Would recommend eating in or not at all. Many of the Spot locations are also on the small side so you may feel a little cramped or need to wait for seats.

Although the snacks and food look visually appealing, they are waaay too expensive considering the ingredients and quantity. I tried the matcha ice cream and lava cake. It cost $18 and was very tiny for the price. It was just a lava cake with matcha scoop and flakes. They charge you 18 percent tip without exception when you place an order. It kinda rubs me the wrong way especially when the food is just kinda mediocre.

Fast service and you use a QR code to order and pay. I don't like the fact you have to sign up for the app that you use to order and pay though. Autumn Yuzu Trifle: 4/5 love the citrus flavor of this dish. The marinated pears is a nice breakaway from the strong citrus flavor. The strong citrus flavor takes away from the "tea" portion of the sponge which they pour in as they serve it to you. The flavor is strong enough that you get more of a lemon than yuzu in this dish. For those that don't like strong lemon/citrus flavors it might not be the best thing to order. Taro bubble milk tea: very nice clear taro flavor coming through the milk tea. Very smooth and delicious! Overall:4/5 certainly willing to come back and try other dishes as they all seem very creative.

The Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie is heavenly! We spend more time and money going to flushing than what the cookie costs, WORTH EVERY MINUTE AND PENNY! Super friendly staff as well. The spot is always busy and vibrant, a diverse crowd and very welcoming.

Honestly the novelty and elegant plating of the food really elevated the experience and while the overall vibe is casual, it was SO loud (from the music and the crowd). I quite honestly couldn't wait to leave and ate faster to leave faster, so I couldn't entirely enjoy the meal. The service was very slow. But the taste of the desserts were some of the best I've had in a while. At ~$14.50 per dessert, it is a little pricey but it would be good for a date, BUT I would definitely be mindful of the noise/crowd.

I ordered from here because we went to the one in the city many moons ago. My hubby has a sweet tooth so I wanted to surprise him. I placed an order for the Milky Puff, Golden Toast, and the Miso Caramel Cookie. Unfortunately this was a totally miss. We didn't care for the desserts. The only thing that was ok was the Miso Caramel Cookie. It was soft and chewy.

Food alone would be 5 stars - the HK toast is the best I've ever had! Right amount of sweetness, and the perfect crispy surface with fluffy cake inside. Matcha lava cake was also delicious, and the potted plant cake was less impressive taste-wise but a creative interpretation. The place was buzzy and bright with all tables filled when we went on a Friday night, but it was only a short wait to be seated. The -1 star is because they require a MINIMUM 18% tip, paid upfront before you get any food or service. The staff was gruff and indifferent, probably because there's no expectation required to earn it.

The golden toast was delicious and the dessert quality is really up there for a casual-looking dessert spot, but the prices are quite steep for such small portions. I don't know if I'd pay $17 (after tax and tip) again for golden toast, maybe would try other stuff on the menu if someone I was with really wanted to come though. Sweetness was a little much for my personal preference but not as severe as American desserts haha. My partner and I came at 8:30pm on a Friday night and tables were almost all full but we got a spot right away when we walked in. Service is solid too.

Food/Drinks: When I say the food was delicious, I mean the food was delicious! We started with the Golden Toast ($14.45), which was just decalate. The crust of the toast was nice and crisp, and the insides were fluffy. We couldn't explain it, but it reminded us of something we had in our childhood. The toast with the ice cream had a nice balance of savory from the crust and sweet from the ice cream. We then also ordered the Harvest ($14.45), Pasteis De Nata ($7.00), and a Nutella Cookie ($4.45). The Harvest has amazing layers of texture, and the Earl Grey Milk Tea poured on top enhanced the flavors. I loved discovering the different layers of cheesecake, chiffon cake, and strawberries. The sorbet also reminded us of ring pops. The pasteis de nata has a nice rich flavor, and the cookie was chocolatey to the max. Overall, great food, and would come again! Service: The staff immediately greets you upon entering and makes sure to greet you as you leave. They used an app ordering system which was efficient and would be best for introverts. Plus, the app has reduced pricing, so take advantage of that.

We were having dinner across the street and we thought we would come here for dessert. Some of our friends are regulars and love it here. First thing is it is very small so there was a line as people waited to be seated. And then when you sat, it was just very crammed. They had some good options combos to try multiple desserts. Our group ended up trying four or five desserts, which was nice. I wasn't in love with any of the desserts but the Matcha lava cake was pretty yummy.

Hands down my fave dessert spot in nyc. It has the best variety of desserts and vibe. I always bring my family and friends whenever they visit. The crowd fave is usually the golden toast and my personal fave is the matcha lava. Everything else is still good tho - love how they keep the good stuff and have new seasonal items every year!

Dined here for dessert on a Saturday night. It was packed to the brim so my friends and I waited for about 15-20 minutes to get seated. We ordered the matcha lava cake and harvest both which are solid staples on the menu and do not disappoint. We also got the iced lattes which provided decent caffeine to get us through the sweets!

Yelp
insanely good dessert in a small little sit down restaurant with an option to also take treats to go, such as boba or cookies. the main desserts that we got were the cookie camp and milky puff. the skillet cookie was probably the best I've ever had. it had the perfect balance of sweet and salty because it incorporated pretzels in it! the cookie was baked really well and was still very soft and chewy, and the condensed milk ice cream paired very well with the saltiness aspect of the dish. the milky puff was also insanely good, and the bananas that were inside were the best. the ice cream pairing made it a little too sweet in my opinion, and would have liked the option to switch for a different flavor. the only downside to this place was that they make you download an app to order, but I guess it makes it easy for you to leave once you finish. big plus: restroom was huge and clean!

Eh. Over rated. The chocolate chip skillet with ice cream was alright. More cakey than cookie. Service was cold. Had a very strict no substitution policy (due to dairy allergy asked for on menu sorbet instead of ice cream). They made a big stink about not allowing it. Felt that was bizarre. Seats had no backs. Not really comfortable seating, but they did have seating. They clearly want you to eat and go, which is business friendly but not as customer friendly. I would not recommend this to a friend nor return. It was a pitty our experience was lackluster, as I was joining a friend here on their recommendation due to great last memories here.

Still delish. I tried the golden toast this time and wow. The bread was crunchy and buttery. Perfect amount of savory and sweet with the ice cream. This place never fails to hit the spot. I guess that's why they called it that! The only thing was that our waitress told us to pay through an app to get a discount, but it took so long to sign up and register (I was having some technical issues too) that it wasn't even worth it. The discount ended up being like 20 cents and the app required us to pay 18% tip or higher. It forced us to. I'm fine with that, but why require it? Anyways, I'll still go back here when I'm craving something sweet!

I had high hopes for this place, as I've been wanting to try it for a while. I came with a friend on a weekend during the day and it was slow when we came in, but got much busier as we were there. They were obviously short staffed for waiters/waitresses but there were plenty of workers behind the counter that didn't help out. This was to the point where our food was sitting ready on the counter for ~10 minutes, we considered just taking it ourselves. As it got busier, our waitress got overwhelmed and had to take a break so no one got service for 15-20 minutes. Not holding anything against her though, more reflective of the employee relationship as a whole. As for the actual food, it's definitely more on looks than taste. My golden toast way too hard, when I expected more of a light crisp. Was on the sweeter side and the durian tart was pretty good, but nothing mind blowing. I think there are better dessert places out there for around the same price point. We also ended up paying in cash because we didn't want to wait any longer for service. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but I don't expect to be back

I have been wanting to try Spot dessert bar for a very long time. I went during the holidays as a walk in with 3 others. The wait time was under five minutes. Desserts were great and the staff was very friendly. The only gripe is the space is soo small and because we were seated at a table with stool setting only it was not possible to take our coat off, which made eating a bit awkward. The server accidentally brought me the incorrect drink but it was quickly replaced with the correct one without issue. There is a quick turn around time since the menu is limited most people eat and leave immediately.

The food is good but the service is non existent. The staff here will not take your order and you must order through their app. The app also can be buggy. In addition, you must tip a minimum of 20% when selecting your payment. Besides the lack of service, the desserts are pricey and my absolute favorite is the golden toast. It is crispy and buttery and has a hint of sweetness. Goes so well with the ice cream. Everything else is also good and very aesthetically plated every time.

Always wanted to try this place and glad it happened! Got the matcha lava bc I love green tea anything, the brownie was perfectly warm and soft with delicious matcha and fudge fillings, I got the harvest bc I thought the pot was edible probably should've asked first lol but even without the pot the combination of Oreo crumbs with fruits and chiffon cake was light and tasty and the milk tea added more flavor it was a mess to eat but delicious. Service was great they were organized and expedient desserts came fast and you didn't feel rushed even though there were lot of ppl waiting, was at the Flushing location and they had plenty of space with inviting and warm atmosphere

A really great dessert here made up for a disappointing dinner at a nearby restaurant. The service is great and the honey butter toast, the sorbet and the cookies (especially the Oreo chocolate chip one) were all awesome.

Spot is great! It is also open late, so it is a great place to go either as a destination or as an after dinner spot. The menu does change seasonally, and it is nice that they switch it up. Matcha Lava is a classic! I am often just suspicious of people who just get stand alone cookies.

The desserts at this place are delicious and unique. The service is always great. The only downfall is it's so tiny inside there's barely any room to even put your purse down and it's always packed but what can we do! Better off ordering to go.

Spot Dessert Bar has delicious, distinctive desserts that I personally have not had anywhere else in the world. After my first visit, I believe it is fair to say this is my favorite dessert spot in all of New York City. My wife and I wanted to order more than we had because the menu had so many rare, never-before-had desserts but we settled on Golden Toast, Milky Puff, and a Mango Passion Fruit Soda. I'd gladly get them all again but I think my favorite of the three was the Golden Toast.

Golden Toast (5/5) - $13.95 The Golden toast was perfect. Just the right amount of crunch butter and honey. It is always my go to dessert. The condensed milk ice cream was delicious adding a nice crunch of cookie crumble. I highly recommend this dessert. It is one of my favorites. Biscoff ice box (4/5) - $13.95 The Biscoff ice box is a layer of harden condensed cream, caramel mousse, and Biscoff crumbs. The condensed cream tasted like ice cream. If you like caramel I would recommend this dessert. Not very heavy. Cookie camp (4/5) - $13.95 The cookie camp was freshly baked marshmallow cookie with condensed milk ice cream and a drizzle of hot chocolate. Very chocolatey and sweet. It's a warm and cold dish very rich. If you like chocolate I would recommend this dessert. Passion jelly cheese pie (3/5) - $13.95 The passion jelly is a layer of passion fruit jelly over soft cheesecake. The cheesecake was more light with passion fruit sorbet on the side. The ice cream was a bit sour. Extra 20% tip is already included in the check.

I brought my daughter to spot dessert bar for us to try a few of the desserts they have to offer. The most popular dessert that I really wanted to try was the harvest which ended up being really good. This is the desert that looks like a plant and inside it has a chiffon cake strawberry cheesecake, so good absolutely must try. I also wanted to try the golden toast now this one is not as good as the harvest however, it is unique in its own way. It is beautifully presented hard to cut, and the taste is so so. One thing about this desert is that the crunch that comes under the ice cream makes the desert 100 times better I very much enjoyed it as did my daughter. To drink I ordered a passion fruit tea with Boba Unfortunately, my Boba was very hard and my drink had to be returned. The overall taste of the passion fruit tea was very good. My daughter ordered a Oreo milk, tea, Boba, which she also complained about the Boba being hard, but she decided to keep her drink. We were told that the new batch of Bobo wouldn't be ready for 30 minutes and I was unable to wait so we continued our visit. I would like to come back and try some more desserts so until my next visit.

I'm extremely sad writing this review because Spot has been one of my favorite dessert locations in NYC since I was in Highschool when it opened at the St. Mark's location in 2009. I went so frequently with my friends that I even met Mark Lee multiple times when he would constantly be at the restaurant. I would always stop by after going out to dinner to get that sweet fix or whenever they released a new dessert that I absolutely needed to try. I was especially excited when they were able to serve alcoholic drinks for the first time. They've come up with a lot of rules over the years that were a bit strange but none that would deter me from coming. Rules like everyone at the table needing to order their own tapas if they eat in or not being able to order a certain tapas special if the party size doesn't meet requirements. There was a tapas special that I specifically remember included 3 desserts but you can only order it if you have a party of 2 so if you're a party of 3, you can't order it even though it was perfect for 3 people with 3 desserts. We couldn't even order it for two of us and the 3rd person order something else. Whatever, I didn't mind, our party of 3 didn't order that special, we just ordered 3 different desserts separately and paid the extra cost. We understood what they were trying to do, no biggie. When they opened their Flushing location, I was excited because I frequent the area for dinner so I didn't need to go into Manhattan for dessert. This location didn't have as many rules as the flagship location in St. Marks, the service was so much better, and it was a lot less crowded so I started coming here more. Over the years they've been trying to promote customers to order through an app and build a rewards system, but we've always just opted to order with the servers because we just wanted dessert, we didn't want to download an app and go through the hassle of getting it set up. I went last night with a couple of friends and realized that ordering through the app was the only option now. Here's where it gets frustrating, in the app you have to sign up, make an account, place the order, and along with that, you're interacting with the servers a lot less and they're making you pay a mandatory 18% gratuity regardless of party size. After we were done ordering, 20 minutes past and the servers never came to check on us . They also never brought us water so I had to flag someone down and ask for water. The server then asked if we had ordered even though over 20 minutes have past since. If seems like with this new app system, they're paying less attention to their customers since they're trying to make things more automated. The worst part is, we came at a slow time so it wasn't busy at all. I guess it's nice that once you're done eating, you can just leave. What about if you wanted to order something to take home? Or if you wanted to order more things? Why am I paying 18% gratuity for zero service? I'm very disappointed in the direction that Spot is heading so I probably won't be coming back as much anymore. if you haven't been here before, definitely try one or all of their original 3 desserts; the Matcha Lava Cake, the Golden Toast, and the Harvest. Those 3 desserts have always been worth it. :)

Biggest complaint, it's expensive with a mandatory tip. The deserts themselves however is soooo delicious. Unfortunately given the price, this might be a place you only go once or twice. Maybe a special occasion type of place. I loved it!

This is my favorite dessert spot that I've been to in NYC. My husband and I shared: - Golden Toast - Milky Puff - Mango Passion Fruit Soda Everything was phenomenal. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the golden toast. The name of the soda did not make it clear that it came with a scoop of passion fruit sorbet in it, so that was a pleasant surprise. I wanted to try so many things on the menu, so I would happily come back again on my next NYC trip.
