Me-Do Desserts

There are a lot of Asian dessert shops in Bensonhurst. Me-Do is located directly across the street from one of the most popular ones—the often-crowded Mango Mango—and it's just as good. There’s only one table inside and two on the sidewalk, but everything at the cute cafe is easily available to-go. Get the Durian Supreme, a tapioca and purple rice dessert packed with fragrant, fresh durian. You can add ice cream, but there’s enough going on without it. To satisfy your stranger cravings, they also have startlingly detailed sleeping bear mousse cakes in flavors like lychee, strawberry, and mango.
