Owned by Rene Kobeitri (yes, the man behind the 510-foot-long cheesesteak), Rim Cafe is an Italian Market dessert institution best known the Volcano, a decadent hot chocolate that can be made affogato style, or topped with marshmallows or mixed with espresso. There’s Korean bingsu, shaved ice thickened with condensed milk and topped with anything from cake slices to oreos, and Japanese kakigori, an ice dessert that’s like a fluffier version of piragua. Located a block from Reading Terminal Market, Snow Ice & Hot Dessert serves a cross section of chilled desserts from all around Asia. The vibe is warm and refined, with high tea served in the vibrant tones of rose and lavender milk teas, green tea-infused pastries, and nutty red bean ice cream. What started as a small tea house in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, New York is now a chain of dessert cafes with locations in Philadelphia and Princeton. The matcha soft serve - which somehow always coalesces into a perfect swirl - sits atop shaved ice and chiffon cake parfaits or sinks to the bottom of rich floats. Matcha Cafe Maiko calls itself Philly’s first-ever storefront dedicated to all things matcha, and the green tea powder is incorporated into plenty of Instagrammable desserts. Mango not your thing? The restaurant also serves oversized cream puffs, waffle ice cream sandwiches, and classic sundaes. The menu centers around sago, a Southeast Asian version of tapioca, topped with mango and a variety of fresh fruit and sweet jellies. The Philadelphia outpost of this NYC-based chain is best known for - you guessed it - mango desserts. Menu staples include silky crepe cakes in flavors like matcha and taro, an ultra-thick panna cotta topped with lychee, and a suite of aromatic milk teas.

Where can you find this in Philly? Here’s a look at 10 dessert cafes around the city, where you can fill your evenings with pastries, shaved ice, dessert pizza, and decadent hot chocolates. The majority of Philly’s dessert cafes deal in Asian-French fusion - think mille crêpes and tarts flavored with lychee or taro - part of a broader industry trend of treats inspired by Asian cultures across the U.S. When it opens, Kouklet will add a new perspective to late-night sweets in the city. The confectionery will specialize in bolos (aka cake rolls) and trifle pastries, part of Cepedas’s goal to showcase “the diversity of Brazilian cuisine beyond just barbecue.”
