The Best Desserts in Aurora

Grammy's Italian Goodies

★★★★★ 4.5 (659) • $$

"Everything here not just tastes good, but is made with love and quality ingredients . This place changed my life. It took us (me & wife) days to finish a single order of garlic knots ($6.95 and worth it). Love the sauce, meat sauce, meatballs, I love it all.But that's not all you get. LOOK at the dessert pictures. BEHOLD the glory of the pastries. Most popular are the cream puffs, of course the cannot, tiramisu and other classics are on point. Grammy does not play, people. Shes playing for keeps... WITH YOUR HEART. You've been warned."

Cuba Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (624) • $$

"Love it here, their cafe con leche and spinach empanadas are my go to. Ive tried other items like the sandwiches, they are huge and you can definitely feed two with one and they give plenty of fries. Sometimes i have a hard time communicating without my husband but they always make a effort and call someone to help. They are super friendly, organized, and their food is good what more can you ask for."

Taste of Denmark

★★★★★ 4.7 (482) • $$

"I've been to Denmark and this tastes like what I ate there. Honestly, I think that's the most generous thing I can say. We stayed with friends there and my friend's husband brought home breads and pastries. We ate them and they were incredible. When my friend got home, she scolded her husband for getting the lower quality stuff from the supermarket. If that's low quality, wht do we have here in the US? We did try the stuff she wanted him to get and it was even more incredible and our minds were blown. This was on par with that and I feel that should give you all the information you need to know that you should try this!"

Little India Restaurant & Bar 6th Ave

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (806) • $$

"Solid spot with a nice ambiance and a good lunch buffet. While the options for the lunch buffet was a bit more limited than other lunch buffet, it's still worthwhile.My favorite thing was their tandoori chicken and I added their mango chutney to it. The creamed spinach was also really good.The service was good, ultimately you help yourself and they will bring you whatever drinks you want and naan bread.I've had other places I like better but still overall if you're craving a good Indian place and you're in the area, this place should do the trick.I would come back, happy eating!!"

Henry's Tavern

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (766) • $$

Syrup Cherry Creek

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (710) • $$

"Very nice staff! Very catering and considerate. Please note that, they will only seat you when your entire party arrives. The place is cute and peaceful. This is the perfect place to go to catchup with friends and discuss event plans. The food is ok. I really like the pancakes. They definitely provide great portions. The only thing that we noticed is that they don't have mimosa flights which. I enjoy only when I'm with others. ( Social drinker) The mimosa was full of liquor, which was a surprise lol (In a good way). I recommend eating here as the customer service is AWESOME!!! There is metered parking in front as well as more parking behind the establishment. Great job guys"

Roaming Buffalo BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.4 (393) • $$

Los Carboncitos

★★★★☆ 4.3 (403)

"Los Carboncitos became my favorite Mexican restaurant in Denver a few years ago & they still haven't let me down! Amazing flavor, good heat & great service. Located a couple miles outside downtown Denver off 6th & Sheridan, this location is a hidden gem in an unbecoming little stretch of businesses with ample parking. They do great takeout, but dining in is even better!The food is outta this world - so authentic & full of flavor! The chips and salsa are complimentary & so fresh, the salsa has a kick! They also bring out 4 housemade hot salsas too, I love them!! Their tacos are simple & delicious, your choice of protein on homemade corn tortillas topped with onions & cilantro. I love the carnitas, chorizo, carne asada & pollo. Their enchiladas are sooo good bc they're not smothered with too much sauce or cheese, and they grill the corn tortillas before rolling the enchiladas so it has a great grill flavor! You can get half green & half red too, yum. All in all, this Los Carboncitos spot is easily my favorite & I hope you find your way there soon bc it's incredible.. don't limit yourself to Taco Tuesday bc the tacos every day at Los Carboncitos are fire!"

Makizushico

★★★★★ 4.5 (366)

"My in-laws could not stop raving about this place from the friendly staff to the impeccable cuisine and presentation. We really appreciated their ability to accommodate food allergy issues as well.Looks like I'll be coming back here again with family!"

Uno Mas Taqueria y Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.1 (418) • $$

"The salsa trio and guacamole appetizers were sublime. Wildly impressed, followed up with their Barbacoa taco and the cilantro jalapeño margarita I'm leaving this establishment so happy. Our bartender Kris was wonderful and attentive, that might have been the best margarita I've ever had as well. Cheers to these folks and I'll see them again soon. Ambiance was great too, lovely bar to sit at with friendly service."

Sazza Pizza + Salads

★★★★★ 4.5 (343) • $$

"Small little place with lots of fresh and delicious salad and pizza options! Came here with a party of 8 and we were able to squeeze into a booth pretty quickly. The restaurant was clean and it was easy to go up and order and then sit at the table and wait for your meal which is brought to you. Employees were friendly and were quick with any additional items you may need. They also serve beer and wine - frosted glasses were a perk. I'd definitely come back again and would love to try the salads. The pizza is very thin, so make sure you order enough!"

Nuggs Ice Cream

★★★★★ 4.5 (312) • $

"I have been to Nuggs multiple times and am never disappointed. So many ice cream flavors to choose from and they are all delicious-you can't go wrong! The staff is always so friendly and happy to let you try as many samples as you want to find the best flavor for you. Has adorable outdoor and indoor seating. Patio is dog friendly!"

Old Blinking Light

★★★★☆ 3.6 (465) • $$

"Super friendly staff. Okay food. Decent drink specials. More of a restaurant with limited bar seating."

Chianti Ristorante Italiano

★★★★☆ 4 (367) • $$$

"I went in because I read that they had the best gnocchi in Denver. I was in Denver for work, and I was dining alone. When I arrived they made a table for me in the middle of the dining room, not by the kitchen or door, so I immediately felt welcome rather than some bother stashed out of the way. It was a little later, so not during the dinner rush, which I'm sure helped. The restaurant is not large, but the ambience was very nice. I was waiting on right away and I ordered a glass of red wine from the Veneto region. The menu had wonderful selections and I settled on the Italian sausage and mushroom risotto at the recommendation of my server. I'm so thankful she recommended it, because it was one of my best meals this year and some of the best risotto I've ever had! I was full from the risotto and delicious bread that came out beforehand, so I didn't order dessert. I've been telling everyone about this restaurant. I will definitely be back!"

Basta

★★★★☆ 4.2 (298) • $$$

"5 Stars for exceptional food, including a chicken liver mousse dish that will leave you licking the jar, and a great atmosphere.Before arriving in Boulder for a short conference, I did my homework and booked a couple of dinner reservations based on Yelp reviews. When booking Basta, I saw that they were featuring wine pours from a woman-owned natural wine maker, Emme Wines, on one of the days and quickly snagged a spot. I'm a big fan of restaurants that make a point to bring in and feature wine makers from around the country. Food: We opted to get a few smaller dishes to share along with our flight of wines. They were all SO GOOD. Here are my recs:- chicken liver mousse: this mousse is served in a small jar with a pickled tomato jam and crusty bread. Wow wow wow. We couldn't get enough. The sweet and tangy jam perfectly paired with the rich mousse and left us calling this as our favorite bite of the trip.- caesar salad: simple and boring, right? NOPE. This Caesar salad had pistachios, was perfectly dressed, and grana padano cheese (similar to parmigiano reggiano) grated finely all over. It was hard to stop eating this and my dinner companion had to remind me to leave some for her...- mussels with added herb focaccia: these mussels are in a pool of chorizo, garlic, tomato, and herb sauce and beg for you to add the focaccia or sourdough. Long after we consumed the plentiful mussels, I was dipping the focaccia in the soup that remained to continue to savor it. Beyond the food, the service was attentive, meeting the winemaker was a true highlight of our trip, and the ambiance made me feel like I was in my favorite little neighborhood gem back home. Though it may not be right on Pearl Street, this spot is not to be missed!"

The Bistro at Marshdale

★★★★☆ 4.4 (254) • $$$

"Great service, amazing food. Consistently excellent overall experience.The parking can use some organization as its shared with a bed and breakfast. We were a bit concerned about parking in the wrong place due to 20 RESERVED signs from the bed and breakfast only. There were not clear designated places to park."

Azucar Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (276) • $$

"James and his team did a great job on our wedding cake! From the tasting session, to deliver and execution everything was amazing.We picked the Bavarian cream marble tiered cake with a semi naked frosting, as well as chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, and brownie bites for our guests. James was super flexible with the additional treats - just ask he can probably make it for you! He's a great baker and we loved supporting this small business for our wedding. We highly recommend whether you are having a wedding, birthday, or just looking for a small treat this is your one stop shop!"

Crumbl - Greenwood Village

★★★★☆ 4.1 (264) • $$$

"The cheesecake "cookie" that they had on this week's menu was so divine, I could eat 14 of um (ifykyk lol). This place is amazing and I love the cookies!!!"

Istanbul Cafe And Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (192) • $

"Randomly stopped in here for lunch after seeing the good reviews and it did not disappoint! Everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in, and the food was delicious- especially the doner baguette and beef borek. We will definitely come back next time we're in the neighborhood."

Bon Ami

★★★★☆ 4.3 (227)

"If someone said that this is/was a Michelin Star restaurant, I would believe it. French cuisine (in general) isn't something I frequently opt for when I am out for dinner with my family or friends. I haven't been to many French restaurants in Denver but I may be able to comfortably say that this is by far the best one I've ever been to.Ambience: Checked! The building looks inconspicuously unassuming meaning that it looks so small on the outside. But once you step inside and pass the bar area to the west side, you'll realize that it's got quite the space. And the decors are thoughtfully very French. Its cuteness compelled me to take photo after photo as we walk deep into the back of the restaurant.We sat all the way to the back of it (at the west end of it.)At 5pm on a beautiful Tuesday night, we were the second guest to arrive. It didn't take long before the restaurant reached 80-90% of its max capacity. Busy Tuesday night, I thought.Our waiter: Was Roger. He was efficient and professional. He focused on the task at hand. No small talk but sometimes that is the best. I was able to tell that he's been with the restaurant for a while due to his eloquence in his speech in explaining what the specials were etc.Wine: When I asked Roger about the House French Wine, he said it was a nice quality blend with some Garnacha in it. Sounded good to me. When he came back with the wine, I realized that there was a generous pour of it in a large red wine glass. And for the price of only $9, this is an amazing full-bodied wine. This is a must get if you are a red wine drinker.My daughter asked him for a suggestion which crepe we should get. He suggested Stroganoff. Along with that was the Vegetarian Dish du Jour (orzo pasta dish). We thought we'd split the two.Orzo pasta: This was impressively good. I mean the word "superb" may not describe the dish fully. We had nothing but utmost compliment to the chef who cooked it. Like I said, in my mind, this is a Michelin Star dish.Stroganoff crepe: If you are a meat lover, get this crepe. The garnished sour cream was a nice little touch added to the brown sauce that poured over the crepe. This was heavenly as well.We were so full after our meal. Although Roger brought us the dessert menu, we were simply too full to eat anymore. We decided to save that for our next dining.My daughter was so impressed with everything we had at Bon Ami tonight. As we were walking away from our table, she made a stop at the bar and bought a gift card for one of her friends as a holiday gift. As her friend is huge fan of French cuisine, she couln't help buying her a gift card so she herself can experience this exquisite and delightful French dining."

Spanky's Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (301) • $$

Mango Mango Dessert

★★★★☆ 4.4 (208) • $$

"I love places like this and I'm so glad there is one in Denver. It was so hard to decide what to get, but my husband and I finally settled on sharing:- Ube Mille Crepe Cake- Black Sesame Paste Soup with Mochi- Strawberry Mango Juice Sago & Lychee Jelly with Mango Ice CreamEverything was great. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Strawberry Mango Juice, but you really can't go wrong. The best thing I tried was a bite of my friends Mango Crepe Cake though."

Dochi - Denver

★★★★★ 4.6 (158) • $$

"This place does "mochi donuts" and they do it very well. There are some coffee drinks also, can't have donuts without it.There is a riw of tables down one wall. Usually pretty quiet when you walk in. Glass diaplay case full of donuts. Staff is super cool, friendly, & helpful. Love the halloween themed donuts! (Check their insta @dochi.dedochi.denver )"

Las Delicias

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (397) • $$

El Tequileno Family Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (242) • $$

"Wonderful experience. The place was clean and well maintained. Distinctly Mexican atmosphere. The food was great. I had enchiladas chipotle and they were delicious. Normally when I get rice and beans as a side dish, they are basically throw away plate fillers. Not the case here. The rice and beans are marvelous. But let me tell you about the real show stopper. The service is top notch. Our server, Bere, was just the best! Super nice and took great care of us. If you want good Mexican food at a decent price with amazing service, this is the place for you!"

Mumtaz Mediterranean Food

★★★★☆ 4.1 (196) • $$

"DEEEEE- licious! We went here wanting something on the lighter side. And we're so happy with our choice"

Legacy Pie Co.

★★★★★ 4.8 (142) • $$

"After dining in the area we walked past Legacy Pie and decided to check it out. All of the pies looked amazing, as well as the ice cream, jams, pie fillings, and other goodies for sale.We had the cutie tart cherry pie between the two of us, and could have easily downed the larger mini size. They had an apple bourbon, mixed berry, pumpkin, chocolate mousse and peanut butter, as well as some savory pot pie options.We also had a cappuccino and latte to pair with the pie. They were very well made!"

Chang Noi Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (139) • $$

"Excellent Panang curry! Quick service, good food, and they'll deliver via Uber. The inside is ok and not a place you'd want to take a date. But I'm going for the food and you should too"

Formosa

★★★★★ 4.7 (118)

"always get the cold sesame noodles, egg tarts, and all the buns. Great food, weird location for this take-out only spot. Call in your order and help the owner/chef save a few pennies from not having to use the app (also gets your order to the head of her line). Sometimes large orders take a while (we have a big family) but we're always happy customers because the food is worth it!"

The Pasty Republic

★★★★☆ 4.4 (130) • $

"The word pasty rhymes with nasty, which I've never really understood since it should actually rhyme with tasty given how amazing these made-from-scratch hand pies are. This place has become my go-to breakfast choice on the weekend - walking the dog down to Pasty Republic and then heading across the street to lounge at Cesar Chavez park while eating a hot, sizable pasty is almost a weekly occurrence these days. The pastry dough is baked daily and each pie is hand-formed and stuffed with a wide variety of options. There's something for everyone here: vegan, vegetarian, and full-on carnivore options, all unfailingly executed and 100% delicious. The size of these bad boys deserves a specific call-out: I've always suspected that they weigh about a pound and took the time to actually weigh mine this morning. It clocked in at just over half a pound. These things are a serious full-size meal in a convenient to-go format. The staff here is never anything short of superfriendly and accommodating. They also have a food truck that makes a regular appearance at the Highlands Square market on 32nd Street in the summer - same offerings, same friendly service. I love this place."

Tafolino's Mexican Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (207) • $$

"Lunch Review only. Superb, tasty Mexican food. The Combo Especial with a burrito and green chili, a tostado, enchilada and beef taco were to die for. Simply delicious and comforting. The carne asada tacos that my wife had were also exceptional. To start, the chips are fresh, crispy and stand up to the really tasty salsa. Exceptionally large glass of ice tea. Wait staff was attentive, shuffling from table to table. On a weekday for lunch the place was packed, and I can see why. This is really good food, at a reasonable price that hits all the right notes, when you are looking for a really good Mexican meal. I'll be back for dinner -- Can't wait to try on of what appear to be a very well made margarita."

Las Delicias

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (212) • $$

"Tonight, a freezing Saturday night I pull up to Las Delicias. Having my puppy in my car I decided to call & get take-out. The gentleman taking my order said just give us a couple of minutes. I waited a few minutes, walked in, was greeted by a couple of waiters, paid & received my order ~ everything in the span of less than fifteen minutes! And yes, as usual their food was spicy and very tasty ~ ‼"

Trattoria Dionisia

★★★★☆ 3.7 (160) • $$

"So I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time, mostly due to another Yelp member's checkins. I always thought I would drive by it but it is tucked in a retail center. After finding parking I wandered into coziness. So cozy I thought the chef might come out of the kitchen! Con te Partirò was playing above my head. When it was time to order, I went with the meat lasagna and it came with a caesar salad, which was perfect. The bread was also hearty and fresh. The meat lasagna arrived to Strangers in the Night playing; however, I was not a stranger to lasagna and I will attest to this lasagna being one of the best I've eaten. For dessert, which I do not order often, I went with the tiramisu. It arrived to the song, "I did it my way!" To better describe dessert the song title needs to change to, "They did it my way!" It was a perfect ending. The service was perfect and not overbearing. My server was very polite and attentive. Dishes were cleared appropriately with the exception of one minor hiccup. The butter was cleared with a piece of bread left in the basket. Fortunately, like bocce ball there are no deductions for this. If find yourself in Parker stop by this restaurant and enjoy some great food. If you're a wine drinker it looks like they have some great selections for you!"

Tiger Den Tea House

★★★★★ 4.8 (89)

"Wow this place is not only good for specialty coffees & teas with boba, but their food items are so delicious and fresh. Today, stopped by for a passion & mango tea 30% sugar, fries and grilled pork bahn mi. The fries are good for sharing, cunchy and thin. The sandwich with french baguette, grilled pork and fresh veggies, also big enough for 2. Refreshing tea on a warm day. I ve apreviously tried items on the catering menu: low mein, crab cheese wonton, pan fried dumpling and chicken fried rice. All was a big hit with guests. Definitely be back to try the other items. Check them out, great customer service as well"

Crumbl - Littleton

★★★★☆ 4.4 (101)

"Amazing cookies and amazing customer service. Love the fact that they change up their cookies weekly"
