It was a winter. We started with an Aztec hot chocolate, followed by crepes au chocolat and topped it off with the MarieBelle signature desert. Yum. But for those not so choc obsessed fear not, there is a wide range of chocolate free savoury options. Check out their beautifully wrapped sassy chocolate bars. Great for a gift or just to eat. If you are serious about your chocolate, and let's face it, who isn't, ask about their chocolate tasting nights.

Apple and Cranberry muffins. That's all you need to remember here, they're the best. And if the thought of never tasting one again is more than you can bare, buy the "Once Upon a Tart" recipe book and try your hand at baking your own.

Cinnamon Swirls. We still remember the day we discovered these. In fact the brutal chill of winter will be significantly warmed this year when we're sitting with one of these in our hands. One of the many reasons to go back again and again to this sweet little den.

From across the pond came a cry - "try the cowboy cookie in Olive's". An expatriated New Yorker living in the UK gave us UK expats in New York the best advice. It's now a challenge to walk on by without stopping for a cheeky cookie.

Cute and so tiny you can have 6 and it’s still only like having one regular sized cup cake. So go on, have another 6.

Although Grom serves up an exceptional selection of artisanal gelato and sorbets, all made on the premises, there is one flavor we will shout about. The "Chocolate Extra Noir"; it can bring you back from the brink on a brutal summer's day, as the NYFLC discovered.

In a city so dominated by coffee it is a refreshing change to choose from an extensive menu of teas once in a while.
If you enjoy a cuppa but don't know your Rooibos from your Red Bush then this is a good place to learn.
If artisan delights such as Chocolate Honeybush, Moroccan Mint Tea and Creme de Cacao aren't enough to entice you then there is always the cocktail menu. Which is tea-free I might add.
