Thank you, Rori, for an incredible Hell's Kitchen Dessert tour! My fiancé got me this tour as a gift given our shared love of dessert. I wasn't sure what to expect, especially as a local; however, it was a stellar experience. We visited both places I had been before as well as some "new ones" (new to me, not to the City). In both cases, I learned something new about their history and, most importantly, enjoyed delicious treats. I was also very happy with how accommodating they were for my fiancé's nut allergies. We're considering getting tours in the other neighborhoods, and would recommend it to anyone who wants some tasty treats and to learn more about our fantastic city.
A Taste of Heaven in Hell's Kitchen

This tour was incredible. We heard the history and backstory of each of the bakeries and sampled some delicious creations from each. My daughter is interested in a career in pastry arts, so this was educational as well as delicious for us both! Rory was a terrific tour guide!
A special taste of NYC

Hell's Kitchen Dessert Tour = Meh.

Initially booked this tour for April 2020. They would only give me a credit instead of a refund. Tried twice to reschedule; once they never replied to my request. Finally went on the tour 4/16/22. I had booked a private tour, but arrived to find another pair on our tour (who also had booked a private tour.) Roxi was a very good tour guide: pleasant, knowledgeable, and experienced. Visited 6 bakeries; only had a choice of flavors at 2 of them (Schmackary's and Huascar & Co.) The Sour Cream Apple pie at Little Pie Co. was quite good. The small piece of baklava at Poseidon Bakery was terrible; it had a very odd flavor. The Chocolate Chip challah bread (we were supposed to have chocolate chip sourdough, but they were sold out) was also disappointing: it was dry and tasteless. I chose a bacon chocolate chip cookie at Schmackary's and liked it. The cherry pistachio cupcake I chose at Huascar & Co was also very good. The Earl Gray Cream Puff at Bibble and Sip was fine (and enormous).

The tour cost almost $70 plus the "optional" tip, so it cost around $155 for my party of two. Considering that the price of the food if bought on your own is only about $25, I do not feel like we got our money's worth. The history and information provided by the tour guide was interesting, but most of it could be found with a simple Google search.

My advice: visit the places on your own. You'll get to choose items that appeal to you, you won't get overstuffed, and you'll save a bunch of money.
