Grace Street
17 W 32nd St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Grace Street has become a beloved K-Town destination where the real magic happens after dinner, when lines stretch out the door for their standout creations like the Dubai Chewy Cookie—a generous pistachio and kataifi-filled mochi that's equal parts crunchy and chewy. Beyond the Instagram-worthy pastries, they nail the details that matter: their matcha ice cream is bold and earthy without being cloying, their hotteok is legitimately crave-worthy, and they're generous with portions in a way that feels intentional rather than accidental. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a slow sit, this is the kind of neighborhood spot that keeps people coming back.”

I stopped by here for their Dubai Chewy Cookie. The pistachio and kunafa filling inside the mochi was generous. I think each mochi came out to about $7-ish. Mochi was crunchy, chewy and delicious. I was so focused on trying the mochi that I forgot to try other sweets. I would definitely stop by again in the future.
I’m lowkey a hater of this place, BUT their hotteok is really yummy (the only thing I would order from here) - would have rated this 3/5 stars if not for this item There’s usually a line for this place (I don’t see why tho) - Mango madness bingsoo: 3/10, the most mid Bingsoo I’ve had :| the mango flavor is also so artificial. The only bingsoo I’ve ever had that I couldn’t finish. So overrated - Hotteok w/ vanilla ice cream: 11/10, SO GOOD. Underrated item from their menu. Comes very warm and with vanilla ice cream. MUST GET! - Matcha beignets w/ green tea ice cream: 8/10, pretty good! Texture is soft, but prob wouldn’t get again. The green tea ice cream was yummy - Dubai chocolate cookie: 7/10, I liked it, but the marshmallow to filling ratio was off. Too much marshmallow, so it lowkey just tasted like a smore. Not as good as Seoul Sweets but cheaper and larger
I've been to Grace Street several times over the years, a KTown hotspot at this point. Recently, I stopped by to try their new Dubai Chewy Cookie (두바이). Its a mound of pistachio cream and kataifi wrapped in marshmallow and coated in cocoa powder. I found it to be quite delicious, with the contrasting textures of the soft, stretchy marshmallow and the crunchy, sticky filling. Flavor is not too sweet, and nutty from that pistachio cream. Definitely recommend visiting to try this and their many other treats like their shaved snow, basque cheesecake, new chocolate beignets, and more.
A popular dessert shop in the middle of Ktown, there is often a long line out the door at night as people stopby after dinner nearby. If you are getting a basque cheesecake, can buy one to go at the front counter. The other items need to be ordered there as well then good luck finding a seat. The large bing sus consists of fresh shaved ice layered with sweet syrup and various fruits large enough to be shared. Also do try out the fresh matcha Beignets.
I tried the matcha ice cream with red beans at Grace Street Coffee & Desserts, and honestly, the portion is massive. It tastes really good. The matcha is strong and earthy, not overly sweet, which I really liked. The red beans add a natural sweetness and a nice texture, and once the ice cream starts melting, everything blends together into this creamy, satisfying mix. I’d definitely order it again.
