The best Black and White in town is on the Upper East Side, at kosher bakery William Greenberg. Here the sweet, intense fondant is spread thick and the cookie part is firm enough to qualify as such. Read more

I stopped here to pick up something yummy for my friend's bday. Everything looked so good! I got her a little set of 4 cake pops . The manager and staff were very nice and I'll definitely be back.

The only shop that convinced me to finally try the black and white cookie after living in NYC for so long

Carolina Miranda

Black & whites and hamantaschen are the headliners here, but don't overlook the scrumptious butter cookies -- covered in almonds or filled with raspberry jam . These are WHOA NELLY good.

Paige C

So fresh and delicious. The sprinkle cookies are my favorite. Tempted to try everything on the menu.

Salted caramel cake is the best thing I've ever had! Red velvet black and whites are also amazing!! Can't go wrong with anything here!

Black & White Cookies ! You might think you've had a black and white cookie , but we challenge you, have you really had a good one? Thick and spongey, more like portable, hand-sized cake than a cookie .

Black and white cookies , chocolate-y babka , and other classic New York desserts .
