Bright, airy, and filled with plants and light wood accents, Tomoko feels a little like an extension of nearby McCarren Park, if McCarren Park served exquisite Japanese-French desserts. (Where are our tax dollars going?) The next time a mid-afternoon sugar craving hits, take yourself on a date to this Williamsburg pastry shop run by a Le Bernardin alum. You’ll find beautifully piped tarts, mochi, macarons, or maybe even a personal-sized pumpkin pie (one of our favorite treats here) in a glass case by the register. On Friday through Sunday, Tomoko also offers a three-course dessert prix fixe ($29.50), with recommended wine and tea pairings—your choices might include black sesame crème brûlée or hojicha chocolate souffle with sweet potato ice cream. The counter is reserved for prix-fixe diners, and seating is otherwise limited, so you might want to get your a la carte order to go and enjoy a sweet picnic. Even the takeaway boxes are precious here, printed with illustrated characters that look like they frolicked right out of a storybook.
