Ice Cream & Desserts

Few places in this category are dessert shops in the strict sense; most are cafés where cakes and ice cream come with coffee and breakfast. Istanbul contributes four: reviews of Evvelâ on Hoca Paşa Sokak mostly talk about its desserts, while Galata Konak Cafe & Restaurant serves cakes on a terrace whose reviews dwell on the Galata Tower and the Bosphorus, until 1 AM. In Barcelona, 8Apples Cafè i Açaí on Carrer de Sants is an evening stop for ice cream and shakes, and The Alchemist Coffee Shop in Sant Gervasi, reviewed for its cakes and macarons, opens on weekdays only. Greek entries lean on crêpes and coffee: Tasty Fast Food Crepes in Ypsos on Corfu stays open until 3 AM, and Little Bites 4 U in Thessaloniki is a crêperie. Elsewhere, Northern Bakeries in Murmansk is reviewed for tortes, eclairs and piroshki, and Melograno sells gelato beside the Trevi Fountain in Rome.
