Best Austin, TX Desserts
If all else fails, a HEB red velvet is never a bad idea.
Let's be honest: My sweet of choice is boba. But after a Thursday night happy hour, I want a large slice of chocolate cake. The problem is that it's always a race against time.
Maybe I want a slice of tiramisu at 8 am. Or a raspberry oat bar at 10 pm. Here is my list of ATX sweets...
Happy [belated] Valentine's Day

Tiff's Treats |
The Kerbey Lane of sweets. Get the chocolate chip cookie. In the winter: mint chocolate chip cookie. Beware, if you eat to many, your body with have a Crisco overload. Classic birthday delivery. |
Sugar Mama's Bakehouse |
Great gift for a friend's birthday. |
Hey Cupcake |
I can't resist getting a Whippersnapper. I immediately regret it after consumption. |
Lick |
I'm not a fan of most ice creams because they tend to be to sugary and not enough cream base. This ice cream satisfies both criteria. My favorite ice cream in Austin. |
Easy Tiger |
Great for late night baked goods. |
Upper Crust Bakery |
Pre/post brunch snack. |
La Patisserie |
The chocolate chip scones from Houndstooth come from here. |
Gourdough's |
The time to regret ratio is quite small on this place. |
Tous les Jours |
The way to do this is to get your Asian groceries and conveniently stop by here afterwards. |
Cafe Crepe |
I feel like this place has been here forever. I'd go here if you're craving crepes, but I just can't seem to justify spending $8 on a crepe. |
Halcyon |
Not a huge fan of their sweets, but they're open late. |
Dolce Vita |
Good for late night cravings + drinks. |
Quack's 43rd Street Bakery |
I loved running here from campus - grabbing a snack and running back. They have great raspberry bars. |
Apothecary Cafe & Wine Bar |
I ate something very chocolatey here |
Amy's Ice Cream |
I'd rather go to Lick. |
Dolce Finale |
When they have tiramisu gelato, it's magic. I may have a thing for tiramisu... Also, they often have coupons. |
Yogurtland |
Frozen yogurt. Nothing special. |
TCBY |
It's ice cream-like Fro-Yo. |
Rita's Italian Ice |
They have coupons. |
Red Mango |
Frozen yogurt. Nothing special. |
Sno Beach |
I would ask for extra cream on top of my blue coconut. Probably a bad caloric idea, in retrospect. |
Motzart's Coffee |
If you want to enjoy your dessert with a view. |
Juicy Tart |
My favorite frozen yogurt place in the area. I believe it's shut down. Their lychee flavor would take you to another island. |
Cafe Milano |
Received a tiramisu for my birthday from this place. Needless to say, I did not share it with anyone. |
Round Rock Donuts |
Orange donuts. Supposedly it makes them taste better. |
Mandola's |
Italian restaurant with a wide selection of sweets |
Enoteca Vespacio |
Italian restaurant with a wide selection of sweets. (There are quite a few of these in Austin.) |
