What’s for sweet? 7 Moscow cafes with incredible desserts

There were times when I completely gave up sweets, and periods when I ate only them. There is nothing good in either one or the other, but I have studied the place where the most delicious desserts in the city are prepared!

Conversation

Address: Bolshaya Nikitskaya, 23/14/9

Conversation is part of a holding of establishments that are very close in spirit to each other, here you have Frends Forever, Breakfast, Scramble, etc.

Located in the very center – on Bolshaya Nikitskaya. If you believe the creators, then 100 years ago there was a confectionery at this address. And now not only desserts are served here, but everything else: salads and snacks, soups and main dishes. But we’re talking about sweets – here the desserts are really worth your attention.

There are huge pieces of designer cakes in the windows – one of them will be enough for three days. But you can hardly stretch this pleasure so much – the cakes are so tasty that five minutes will be enough for you to cope with this miracle of the “pastry shop”.

In addition to a huge assortment of designer cakes, which changes every day, you should pay attention to a series of branded cheesecakes: with boiled condensed milk – Milky Nuts, or Bubble with gum flavor – it’s just an immersion in childhood and a dump of your head.

Confectionery “Cafe Pushkin”.

Address: Tverskoy Boulevard, 26

Confectionery “Cafe Pushkin” is located a few meters from the cult restaurant of the same name. You can also eat here: they will bring you a salad or a main dish from the restaurant. But the main thing here is still desserts. Pastries, chocolates, sweets, cakes … God, what is not here! And everything is breathtakingly delicious.

For me “Cafe Pushkin” is such a spirit of France. It is felt in everything: the interior, colors, names of cakes and, of course, the taste of desserts. The cafe assures that they get the products for their confectionery masterpieces straight from France. And when you are drowning in the taste of the third cake in a row, you understand: yes, for sure it is.

If you really assess your strength and understand that you will not be able to taste all the cakes, then here is what I advise you to stop at: Natalie cake, eclairs, honey cake. And also “Apple Blues”: apples, cinnamon and almond-shortbread dough … It is indescribable.

I love cake

Address: Bolshoi Patriarshy per., 4

I love cake is all part of the Friends Forever network, located on Patriarch’s, kids Friendly and dogs friendly. The atmosphere inside is indescribable: such friendliness, which, it seems, only happens in cinema. Plus cute children’s laughter.

But back to the desserts – they are only author’s here, they belong to the pastry chef, the founder of the entire chain, Nina Gudkova. Impossible to pass by: Santa Anna cake made of puff pastry with Forest Berry yogurt. And the French Pie is also worth trying – if only because, according to the author, it is the easiest and lowest-calorie dessert. In general, feel free to take any. It will turn out to be one of the tastiest you will ever taste.

“Love and sweets”

Confectionery chain “Love and Sweets”, founded by the lead singer of the group “Hands up” Sergei Zhukov and his wife Regina Burd. The case can be safely called a family one. In 2020, the confectionery will be 6 years old.

The “Love and Sweets” workshop makes handmade cakes and cakes to order. And in the cafe of the chain you can try desserts, cookies, marshmallows and other goodies. My favorites here are definitely eclairs. Another favorite is the Banka cake, which came out in a limited collection of desserts, developed with the participation of Anna Sedokova. Outwardly, it looks like a real can of condensed milk, and the taste is waffle, nuts and that very boiled condensed milk, the taste that we all remember from childhood. Number three in the ranking is Esterhazy. Although the dessert is classic, but performed by “Love and Sweets” I think it is sweeter and tastier than in other places.

I lasted it

Addresses: Nikolskaya, 5/1, building 3, Malaya Bronnaya, 27/14.

La Dureé is a French pastry chain with cafes all over the world. It was founded back in 1862. Its first founder and owner turned his own bakery into a tea parlor. And later, his heir invented that very macaroon cake, combining two macaroons with ganache cream in the middle. So it is La Dureé that we owe the fashion for macarons, you need to try them in the original source.

To be honest, the rest of the desserts do not cause much delight in me. Yes, delicious, but I don’t faint from them. But sitting here, ordering a cup of tea and an assortment of those same macarons with different tastes, is definitely worth it!

OMG Coffee

Address: Nizhniy Susalny per., 5, bldg. 10.

There are two OMG Coffee in Moscow: one in the center, one in the near Moscow region, on Novorizhskoe highway. The chain’s cafes have already been included in the selection of places with the best breakfasts. And I will include them in this list as one of the best pastry shops: their desserts cannot be left without additional attention.

What sweets are worth paying special attention to for those with a sweet tooth: must be branded croissants – firstly, because they are square, and secondly, because they are unrealistically tasty. And cakes: Grandma cake, Rabbit cake, Bali cake. For cheesecake lovers – classic New York.

Brownie Mom

This is a chain of four coffee houses: three in the center and one at Avtozavodskaya. As the name suggests, these guys specialize in brownie desserts. Not only is the dessert, which is not the most popular in principle, is in the spotlight, there are also 26 types of them! 26 varieties, friends! There you will find them with chestnuts, and cranberries, and with white chocolate, and with dark chocolate … The interests of those who do not eat gluten or sugar are respected, there is also a brownie especially for them.

And here you can buy not only ready-made desserts, but also homemade kits for your favorite type of brownie. So, if you have never tried brownie, then it is worth trying it here. And for lovers of this dessert, we put a useful point on the map.
