That came from a truck?!

Actually, Dessert Truck Works is no longer run out of their food truck and instead inhabits a cafe in the Lower East Side (and they've also changed their name to Cathcart and Reddy (going artisan on us!)). But even if they don't drive to you, this place is high on the list when it comes to treats and is definitely worth going out of your way.

This mountain of a chocolate chip cookie is rich, buttery, and soft. It's loaded with milk chocolate (or at least a lighter chocolate than Jacques Torres or others use) and was a little on the sweet side, but incredible in small doses.

Cathcart and Reddy also have some other amazing dessert choices. The molten chocolate cake didn't hit the spot for me (it was a little dry and didn't pack a lot of flavor), but it must have been an off day because I've heard it's incredible.

For me, even better than the chocolate chip cookie were the brioche donuts with Nutella filling. They were served fresh and hot and sprinkled with sugar. The texture was perfect - light and airy but with enough substance to satisfy. AWESOME!
