Finally, you can't talk about Max Brenner without mentioning their creative creations, like Chocolate Chunks Pizza, Chocolate Crepe "Pasta," and Build-Your-Own-Cakes. Photo: maxbrennerusa/Instagram -
Dough
No to be confused with Dō, Dough is probably the most amazing donut shop in the city (sorry, other NYC donut shops). Flaky, sweet, and the size of your fist, a donut from Dough is the perfect way to start or end any day. Most known for their Hibiscus donut, made with dried Mexican Hibiscus, they also have other great flavors like Salted Chocolate Caramel, Nutella, and Matcha. They also make Doughka, a delicious spin on the Babka, and Cake Doughnuts, which are even fluffier and more heavenly than their original donut recipe. Photo: doughdoughnuts/Instagram -
Black Tap
Those huge, delicious, out-of-control milkshakes you see all over Instagram are most likely the product of Black Tap, the city's most popular milkshake and burger spot. Each of Black Tap's Crazy Shakes is bigger, better, and sweeter than the next, including flavors like Sweet N' Salty (a peanut butter shake with a chocolate frosted rim with chocolate gems and peanut butter cups topped with a Sugar Daddy, pretzel rods, a chocolate covered pretzel, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle), Cotton Candy (a strawberry shake with a vanilla frosted rim with blue, pink and pearl chocolates topped with a pink lollipop, rock candy, whipped cream and cotton candy), and The Cookie Shake (a vanilla cookie shake with a vanilla frosted rim with cookie crumbles, topped with a cookiewich, crumbled cookies, chocolate chips, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle).
