A new sweet shop is putting a unique spin on classic bake shop offerings.\n<\/p>\n

Located at 51 W 32nd St., Sweet Graffiti is \u201cwhere street meets sweet,\u201d bringing bold flavors to classic treats. The kitchen is led by Chef Romina Peixoto, who is helping redefine what a dessert could be.<\/p>\n

\u201cSweet Graffiti was a concept that was created before I joined the company, but it had a different concept. It was going to be all about donuts,\u201d Peixoto told amNewYork. \u201cWhen that project was passed to me, I was like, \u2018I can do so much more than donuts.\u2019 There\u2019s so many places [that are] already doing that, I would like to put my knowledge up front to everyone since I\u2019m not only a pastry chef, but I\u2019m also a chocolatier. I would like to showcase everything that I know.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sweet Graffiti\u2019s menu, you\u2019ll find more than your standard cookies and pastries. Peixoto and the Sweet Graffiti team pride themselves on serving a lineup of chocolates, bonbons, donuts, cookies, ice cream, croissant crisps, and other confections.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just like when you go to a bakery, it\u2019s just baked goods and that\u2019s that. It\u2019s just a combination of little things that make the place fun and different from the other places,\u201d said Peixoto. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t just call it a bakery, it\u2019s really a sweet shop more than just a bakery.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, what truly sets the sweet shop apart is their unique flavors. For example, the store\u2019s cookies come in flavors like Pad Thai (one of the more popular flavors) and Mocha Madness, bonbons in flavors like Lemon Yuzu, Guava & Cheesecake, Strawberry-Lychee Prosecco and Matcha Passionfruit, and Macaron flavors such as Raspberry Hibiscus, Lychee Pandan, Sesame, Cacao Nibs and Pistachio.<\/p>\n

At Peixoto\u2019s children\u2019s insistence, the store fully jumped onto the Dubai chocolate trend, with menu items such as the Dubai Sundae (house-made vanilla soft serve ice cream topped with chocolate syrup, homemade pistachio cream, toasted kataifi and chopped pistachios), the Dubai Donut, and their own twist on a Dubai chocolate bar.<\/p>\n

Because the store is located in Koreatown, Peixoto felt it was necessary to lean into Asian flavors for the desserts.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have Asian flavors to target a little bit of the crowd that is around here, but not at the full capacity because I\u2019m not Asian, so I don\u2019t want to recreate something that I\u2019m not,\u201d said Peixoto. \u201cFor a bit of my background, we have Alfajores from Argentina. It was important to have at least one item that reflects where I come from. The donuts are very American, so\u00a0 that pleases the crowd and we try to do different flavors just to satisfy pretty much everybody who comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Peixoto, in a city where food items go viral online regularly, going viral isn\u2019t necessarily the goal because you never know what will get popular, but she\u2019s always going to explore fun and interesting flavors regardless.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that all of us are always trying to look for something that it becomes viral at one point, which, what that is, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m trying to explore it,\u201d said Peixoto. \u201cParisian flan is one of the things that was kind of trendy for a while and I have it on the menu right now and that\u2019s one of the things that I change on a weekly basis. I try to come up with crazy flavors all the time. I have safe flavors in other areas, but I\u2019m just gonna go crazy with that and see if people like it.\u201d<\/p>\n
