Worthy Picks

7.8
$$$ Hudson Square
Opened in 2024 by the Nami Nori team, Postcard is a tiny, design-heavy Japanese bakery where every cake, donut, and fruit sando is gluten-free. It’s more treat stop than full meal, but celiac diners cross town for plated slices and mochi donuts that finally feel like “normal” dessert.
Must-Try Dishes: Koji basque cheesecake, Matcha mochi donut, Strawberry cream fruit sando
What Makes it Special: A fully gluten-free Japanese bakery crafting sweets rarely safe for celiacs.
$ Hudson Square Ice Cream
A Tribeca soft-serve shop built around fun, topped-to-the-max signatures that eat like dessert mashups rather than classic scoops. It’s best used as a late-day treat stop—pick one of the house creations and treat it like a full dessert, not a snack.
Must-Try Dishes: Salty Pimp, Rocky Roadhouse, Bea Arthur
What Makes it Special: Signature soft-serve creations designed as full-on dessert builds.
