Do you like cheesecake? Or key lime pie cupcakes?
Then youβll love Two Little Red Hens, bar none, the best bakery on the Upper East Side.
Also, maybe the planet.
The exterior harkens back to the 1950βs, and the interior keeps that spirit going. Everything is baked fresh daily and doled out by happy employees with gigantic smiles.
And why might these employees be so confident in their product? Well, put simply -- the food is a home run.
Letβs start with the cheesecake. The filling is light, airy, and sweet. Itβs what we would imagine a cloud made of cotton candy might taste like.
Then thereβs the toasted graham cracker crust.
Itβs crunchy. Itβs buttery. Itβs a whole lot of adjectives and a slew of animated expletives, but weβll spare you the lurid details in hopes of maintaining some sense of decorum.
They also have these chocolate crinkle cookies so good, youβll end up on your last bite before paying.
The chocolate pie is divine, and the cherry ginger rhubarb will make the hairs on your back stand on end.
But our favorite thing? The lemon chess custard pie. Itβs seasonal and delightful. Itβs like taking a trip to the sun and eating a slice of heaven, except with more singing angels.
At least thatβs the sensation we get while eating it.
