Multisweet

This female-owned Asian bakery got its humble start at a Pennsylvania college and has since blown up into a full-scale dessert-enthusiast destination in Long Island City. More than merely delicious (which they are), its treats are mini works of art. Sweets include mooncakes, egg tarts and slices from any of the various cakes. (Multisweet also does made-to-order cakes.) If you want to indulge on the savory side, pick from sandwiches and potstickers. Patrons can take their goodies to go or sit in the small dining space or charming outdoor patio.
