Behind the pink door...
Kinky’s Dessert Bar is NYC’s one-stop shop for sweet and creamy waffles, cupcakes, and cookies baked and decorated to resemble human genitalia.
Located at 181 Orchard St. on the Lower East Side, this LGBTQ-welcoming, Black and woman-owned business is the city’s first adult bakery, and features a menu of baked goods so naughty nobody under 18 is permitted inside. (But we've got a sneak peek tour below!)

Kinky’s Dessert Bar opened appropriately enough on Valentine’s Day, and customers have been lining up ever since to sink their tongues and teeth into these edible vaginas, nipples (with piercings), and cream-topped penises.

The signature goodies at Kinky’s Dessert Bar are the Dicky and Va-JayJay Waffles. These naughty mouthfuls come in a variety of creamy toppings to ensure a tastebud eruption as you slip their moist and gooey goodness between your lips.
These two naughty and nice delights are most definitely not your grandparent’s waffles.

Kinky’s Dessert Bar is the creative and professional brainchild of August (right) and John DeWindt. These food entrepreneurs previously brought NYC Fluffy’s and Johns Juice, and are also happily married.
“As a Black woman, I know what it is like to enter spaces and not feel welcome or included, so I wanted to make Kinky’s Dessert Bar an inviting space where people could openly be themselves,” August tells Out Traveler.

“At Kinky’s all are welcome,” August continues. “We created the dessert bar with the intention to be inclusive. We are LGBTQ+ friendly and have something for everyone.”

“From the staff we hired, to the decor and menu items, we wanted to make sure no one felt left out,” August tells Out Traveler.

In addition to their famed waffles, Kinky’s Dessert Bar also bakes delicious cookies with absolutely yummy graphic icing.

“Guests can choose from six different flavors,” August says. The Oh Behave vanilla cream topping with a glistening maple glaze is pictured here, but there are also Chocolate Orgasm (double chocolate), Talk Dirty to Me (strawberry), Beg For More Banana (banana pudding), Slutty Cinnamon (cinnamon roll cream and cream cheese frosting), and Freak Like Me Apple, a gluten-free waffle filled with homemade apple pie and topped with a cinnamon apple glaze.
