If you’ve got the craving for something sweet, there’s one spot in Washington that takes the cake when it comes to dessert, according to a new report from Yelp.

Macadons, a Seattle shop specializing in macarons and ice cream, was named the best dessert spot in the state by Yelp.

The restaurant review site said it compiled the list after examining businesses that sell cakes, ice cream, doughnuts and other goodies. The dessert spot rankings were based on the “total volume and ratings of reviews,” according to results released Tuesday.

Macadons, or “Macarons by Donna,” takes its own spin on the classic French dessert by adding “a unique Asian flair,” according to the business’s website. The cookies are infused with classic Asian flavors, “such as Taro, Durian, Lychee, Green Tea, and other non-traditional flavors,” the website says.

Reviewers raved about the flavor and texture of Macadons’ cookies and ice cream, with Thai Tea commonly mentioned as one of the top flavors, according to Yelp.

Macadons’ Yelp page bears a badge as a woman- and minority-owned business. Its page also says it’s “gluten-free friendly.”
