Super yummy! This place is a little gem! Little cafe with delicious ring cakes. Small cosy cafe makes you feel like you are almost somewhere in Europe. Cakes are $5 each so on the pricey side. But such a beautiful treat for your gut and soul Can’t wait to try frozen hot chocolate over the summer!

There’s a lot to share about my first experience inside the locale. I’ve tried the run dings before so it was nice to visit the place. We were lucky to stop by for the evening hours and try the ‘Perfect Manhattan Ring Ding’. Tastes just like a warm evening hug. My favorite Ring Ding is the raspberry! My husband has bought me all others over time but I love the raspberry. This little bakery had been here for over 30 years and the wear and tear is evident but nothing I minded. In fact, it gave it a special charm for me. We met Chef Madeline who is passionate about food and isn’t afraid to challenge herself. This is reflected in everything she makes and I truly enjoyed my experience here!

Ordered an assortment of ring dings for my sister’s birthday. Got stuck in traffic and arrived after closing, but the guys were so nice and waited for me. The ring dings were a huge hit at the party! I think the PB&J was the favorite, but the cookies & cream and rainbow were awesome too. I can’t wait to go back and try the flavors I didn’t get to!

One of my new favorite places to get a quick bite. A cute little establishment nestled quietly in Tribeca. Definitely try the strawberry shortcake, and matcha ring dings!

We stumbled upon this small and charming café and were immediately taken by its cozy atmosphere and delightful display of unique cakes. The variety is impressive, and everything looked absolutely delicious. We tried the American cheesecake and the Nutella cake – both were simply perfect. The flavors were rich, the textures spot on, and it’s clear a lot of love goes into the baking here. The service was also outstanding – genuinely friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A real gem worth visiting!

A ring ding from Ring Ding Bar will kick the a** of a cupcake any day of the week. Love them since Smorgasburg. Many addictive flavors. Ordered 90 for our wedding(30 each cubano, strawberry short cake and Nick's pick) and paid for the 90 mile delivery rather than take a chance with a courier. Delivered on time, without a scratch by 2 friendly women. Corresponding with Chef Madeleine and Justin was easy and prompt. Thanks again.

These ring dings are incredibly expensive but they are also absolutely delicious! There are so many flavors to choose from with more basic flavors like chocolate and vanilla, to more uncommon flavors like chili to (which is actually SPICY). Love their bold and loud colors too!
