Harlem, New York

🥐"some of the city's crunchiest, most satisfying rugelach since the '80s" (The Infatuation)
👋Meet Mr. Lee himself if he's behind the counter
🍰Carrot cake and black-and-white cookies are sleeper hits

Step into a slice of New York history where 81-year-old Alvin "Mr. Lee" Smalls has been hand-making rugelach the old-fashioned way since 1988. His chocolate, raspberry, and apricot versions are nutty, raisin-studded, and topped with sparkly brown sugar or a chocolate stripe, all crafted with real butter and decades of dedication. The cozy shop feels like a time capsule of Harlem charm.
