I went to the Upper East Side location and had the bittersweet version of the cake. At $7.50 it is grossly overpriced. Besides the cost, the cake does not live up to its reputation. It is just a bland too sweet wishy-washy concoction that may pass in a kindergarten birthday party but will disappoint you if you are in search... More

Absolutely deserving of its name. I LOVE this chocolate cake.The texture & taste combine to make this my favorite chocolate cake. The only issue with this place is that it's so small. You can only sit 8-10 people at a time, and the space is narrow. At $7-8 a slice (totally worth it), you'd expect them to be able to... More

Yes Indeed.......the name of this restaurant is exactly what it is.....the Best Chocolate Cake in the World. This is a New York outpost of the Brazilian restaurant in São Paolo, O Melhor Bolo de Chocolate de Mundo. Their website is in Portuguese so all you really get is the photos of the cakes. This is a recipe made without flour... More
