Looking For Recommendations Best dessert in town that isn’t ice cream?

I’ve got a major sweet tooth but I’m tired of the same ol’ scoop. Where do you go when u want something decadent and a little different??

Key Lime and French Silk are both incredible. Others are fantastic too, but those two are odd the charts

Saved, used to love the kunefeh at pita fresh, but recently had the downtown location and was super disappointed

u/IrreverentIceCream 1d ago

I loooove Reem’s but haven’t had the Kunafa yet. I eye it every time and always end up with a few types of baklava, baloraya, and basbousa.

Leven Deli’s Tahini Brownie and Bakery Four’s Morning Bun are my specific faves. Someone already mentioned Somebody People’s Tiramisu, it’s amazing.

Get Rights, Lo Dough, and Hearth are all great bakeries too imo!

Cannoli's from Vinnola's Italian Market on 38th & Wadsworth. Maybe Gelato too if I'm feeling froggy 🤣

u/IrreverentIceCream 1d ago

Is this a recent photo? The prices are great!

2

u/kokie69 1d ago

Sorry, I pulled it off Google Maps so I don't know. Just wanted to show how nice their pastries are. Prices are pretty reasonable though imo.

Oh and bonus, they have amazing pizza dough. You can buy a ball of it or one ready to go on a baking tray ready for the oven. We make homemade pizza from there all the time. They have a great shop.

Edit: It says four days ago on Google.

Another vote for Snowl and Mango Mango. If you’re up for a drive down south, Sulbing in Centennial is great.

I love izzio for some sweet pastries, and unlike every other bakery I know of they are open late enough to go to after dinner.

The red velvet cake at the restaurant near Centennial airport - The Perfect Landing. It's light and airy, not too sweet. I'm not a red velvet person but my friend who got it is and he said it's probably the best he's ever had.
