Desserts are an equal opportunity addiction. Even the healthiest of eaters can be subject to unstoppable longings for something sweet and rich—a concoction with the perfect combination of intense flavor, texture and endorphin-generating bliss. There is an unmistakable satisfaction that comes from finishing a meal with dessert, or even making a couple of them your main course.

While vegans in other cities might be left to their own devices, those in New York City—and dessert lovers of all stripes, for that matter—have plenty of options when that yearning strikes. Throughout the City, vegan-friendly or strictly vegan bakeries, cafés and restaurants offer such dairy- and egg-free delicacies as cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, cheesecake, carrot cake and brownies, to name just a few. These desserts will intoxicate the taste buds of vegans and non-vegans alike, proving that there is far more than one way to send the sweet tooth to the moon.
