I'm in a business where I get to see and eat a lot of fancy cake. In my opinion, Papa Haydn's cakes RAWK. My fave is the lemon chiffon. So many other choices too, plus lemon bars, gelato, and macaroons!
On weekend nights the wait for a table for dessert can be long, but the attentive host staff made our wait easy by taking our cell phone, so we could shop NW23rd while we waited; they called when our table was ready.
One caveat: they put too much cassis in the kir royales. The drink should be pink, not red!
Pros: amazing selection, a pampering treat, great location
Cons: too much cassis, prepare to spend
