The Top 24 Dessert Shops in Manhattan
The best dessert shops in Manhattan, by the professional record: Eater, Michelin Guide, and James Beard Awards have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Superiority Burger comes out on top.
Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and Caffè Panna hold the next two places. The Infatuation shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Eater next.

Rank 1. Superiority Burger
Vegetarian
The quinoa-chickpea-walnut burger that made Brooks Headley famous is still on the menu at this vegetarian burger shop in the East Village, now in a bigger room with vintage diner bones. Nothing here pretends to be meat, which turns out to be the whole point. The Michelin Bib Gourmand and a New York Times top-100 spot follow naturally from cooking that treats bold seasoning and smart texture as the actual job. Save room for dessert; Headley came up as a pastry chef.
