Brooklyn finally has a banana pudding shop

New York has loved banana pudding for a long time, and now Brooklyn has a shop all its own. Mōzic, a small family-run spot on Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg, calls itself the first banana pudding shop in the borough. One spoonful and you'll understand why people are going out of their way to find it.

The menu is built around one dessert, done a few different ways. Think fresh banana, silky pudding, and flavors you won't find at the usual places. It's the kind of shop you walk past once and then start planning your week around.

What to order

The pudding comes in a handful of rotating flavors, so what's in the case can change from visit to visit. Here's what's been on the menu lately:

• Classic. Start here. It's creamy without being heavy, with big chunks of real banana in every bite.

• Tahini. Nutty and slightly savory, which keeps the sweetness in check. It's lighter than you'd expect, and the cup goes fast.

• Cinnamon date. Warm and cozy, with a deeper caramel-like sweetness from the dates. A great pick now that it's getting colder.

• Strawberry. Finished with a homemade strawberry compote that's been winning over even the banana pudding purists.

Can't choose? Get two and split them. Honestly, that's the move here.

Don't skip the drinks

Mōzic takes its coffee just as seriously as its pudding. The matcha has picked up fans of its own, and the affogato is the order if you want dessert and caffeine in one go. Pair a pudding with a latte and you've got an easy afternoon pick-me-up.

A family shop with old-school charm

Mōzic is family-owned, and the owners are usually the ones behind the counter. The space has a vintage New York feel and a friendly, neighborhood energy that makes it easy to linger. It works just as well as a post-dinner dessert stop as it does for a slow weekend afternoon.

Plan your visit

Flavors rotate and hours can shift, so check their Instagram before you head over. And if the classic is in the case, don't leave without it.
