The Most Flavorful Desserts in Dallas

Babe's Chicken Dinner House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (913) • $$

"I love that I can pick up a whole meal of some of the most amazing fried chicken ever. It comes with all the sides and is melt in your mouth good. The only thing is I only like chicken breast and I wish I could just get one piece."

1418 Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.5 (787) • $

"A giant thank you to 1418 Coffee House -- we enjoyed our lunch, the customer service, and loved your vibe!My daughter & I savored a scrumptious chicken salad sandwich called The Lucy. Made in-house, with tender, fresh chicken, including tasty sweet cranberries, all tucked into a cloud-like croissant. We also indulged in a mocha frappe--hands down, the tastiest in town!TIP: Parking is a beast! There is a parking garage directly behind their building. Fair warning there were only 3 handicap spots. All of them were full at 2pm on a Wednesday. TIP: Every table was taken. Many people on their phone/ laptops, and thats okay if they are customers. BUT, the majority had no problem taking space that could easily seat 4 people. Frustrating to those of us who were there to spend money on food, pastries, and drinks. We would have spent more money if we had a place to sit and eat .. comfortably. When the Texas weather snaps to cooler weather, the outside seating area in front of the building will add extra space to this crowded spot. They do offer another outside area in the back, but it sorely lacks the same vibe.We look forward to making this part of our favorite lunch rotation and want to to try more items on their menu. Then again, if they can't gain quality control with the freeloaders, we might look for another spot. There's too much competition to struggle with this!"

rise soufflé - Fort Worth

★★★★★ 4.5 (730) • $$

"Absolutely delicious food and wonderful staff!! The ambiance is warm and inviting. A genuine Parisian feel."

Botolino Gelato Artigianale

★★★★★ 4.8 (628) • $$

"FORZA ITALIAAAAThis gelato is IT. Super creative and expansive selection of flavors. Very rich texture but also fluffy at the same time. The sorbet flavors were great as well, not too "icey".Workers were super kind and let me try multiple flavors. This place is a great sweet treat spot to manipulate your friends to spend more money and eat more calories after an already big back meal."

Bigdash Ice Cream & Pastries

★★★★★ 4.7 (649) • $

"Although I really enjoyed the strawberries, for $16 I think it's hard to justify getting it more than once. There's plenty of seating inside and little to no wait. I appreciated the quick service, however there was some confusion regarding availability of this product. Originally, I was informed it was not available due to a lack of strawberries on hand. After an hour, I saw other customers with this so I got back in line and reordered even after being told by another worker that there wouldn't be enough left for me (only 3 cups worth). There was more than enough left though because I saw many customers after me getting the same item. Super confused why this happened!"

Milk & Cream

★★★★☆ 4.2 (802) • $

"Lavender icream in a warmed up glazed doughnut is to die for ! They were almost running out of lavender ice crean, must be the most popular. I absolutely loved it ."

Blues Burgers

★★★★★ 4.6 (615) • $$

"The burgers are delicious! I enjoyed a chicken sandwich another time. Great portions and tasty. They're opening a new location in forney where I live and I'll be there as well!"

Celebration

★★★★☆ 4.2 (736) • $$

"I went to celebration for a girls organization event. The restaurant looks almost like a home with lots of small rooms. We definitely liked the privacy. I ordered the turkey and dressing. My sides were mash potatoes and a salad. I highly recommend the cucumber dressing for the salad. It was delicious! The rest of the meal was good and all the other ladies enjoyed theirs as well. Service was good they came and checked on up frequently but still let us have our space."

Liberty Burger - Keller Springs

★★★★☆ 4.3 (539) • $$

"INCREDIBLE!!!! Everything was awesome , including Amanda. Burger was a recommendation, absolutely nailed it. Buddy had the bison, same experience. CANT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH!!!"

9 Rabbits Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (564) • $$

"My family and I have been going here for the past 5 years or so. We all LOVE the boba and its really good. My kids get the Lychee Peach black tea, and its amazing! DEFINITELY TRY! The service is also very nice! And, the entire place is really cute."

Fixe Southern House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (543) • $$

"In 2021, I said... "best biscuits in town." I'm pretty sure that still holds as of now. The biscuits are fluffy, buttery and paired with the best spreads: salted whipped butter, golden natural honey and sweet seasonal jam. You always need to start with an order of these here. Heck, you could go and just get coffee or a cocktail with them. You'd be happy with your breakfast! We were last there with a group so we had an order of biscuits, pimento cheese and entrees. I tried their chicken biscuit sandwich. It had a fried chicken thigh, kale apple slaw and honey. It was delish! Surprisingly, I also really enjoyed the pimento cheese. I'm not a typical pc gal, but this one seemed to have more flavor and heat to it. Overall, we had a really lovely brunch! The entire party seemed happy with the food, service (shout out to Melody for all the water refills and being patient with us!), ambiance and (of course)... the biscuits!"

Vegan Food House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (496) • $$

"This is my go to for vegan comfort food. It is like a warm hug for my tummy. The artwork and style of the dining area is unique yet welcoming. I was enjoying my company and didnt realize my orderwl was ready, but they brought it out. I really appreciated that.Utensiles and water are self serve, pick them up just inside the door."

The Pizza Dude

★★★★☆ 4 (544) • $$

"I've been coming here for 2 years now. It's mine & Bijou's once a month spot. I love the crust. It's the perfect combination of chewy on the inside & crispy on the outside. The pizza sauce is perfect. I love their salad too. I hate the red peppers they have on it but you can modify it. They have the best Italian dressing for their salads imo. The fountain drinks are free & they have a complimentary beer keg in the fridge with frozen glasses in the freezer. It's a very small space but I love it. I bring Bijou (when weather permits) to their outdoor patio."

The Cheesecake Factory

★★★☆☆ 3 (880) • $$

"I had a great experience, from the service to the food to the ambiance. Julie was my table's waitress, and she continuously checked up on us throughout our meal while making sure that our drinks were never empty. Our food arrived hot, and the plates for everything were fairly large. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie (Ground Beef, Carrots, Peas, Zucchini and Onions in a Delicious Mushroom Gravy Covered with a Mashed Potato-Parmesan Cheese Crust), which I highly recommend as the creaminess of the mashed potatoes paired well with the flavors from the rest of the dish. I also tried the Fried Macaroni and Cheese (Crispy Crumb Coated Macaroni and Cheese Balls, served over a Creamy Marinara Sauce) that was very delicious. Lastly, I liked how the restaurant's decorated nicely with plenty of warm lighting and artwork throughout to give it a somewhat elevated feel."

Snow City Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (470) • $$

"Very busy Saturday night. We went every table was filled we were lucky get one table. The wait was not bad surprisingly, they said originally it was going to be a 30min wait but ended up being around 5mins. They have about 10 tables with some free water also available self service. Then vibe good slightly noises but just because so busy. The food was quite enjoyable. We both enjoyed the taro bow. Both bowls were good, I think a little more toppings for the sides would be good. Overall fun experience and I enjoyed snow city."

Havana Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (460) • $$

"I used to frequent this cozy little cafe when I lived in Dallas, now living in the suburbs doesn't make it so easy, but decided to revisit this place once again, and it never fails to satisfy my craving for tropical Cuban cuisine. We started out with appetizers, ordering the Yucca Frita, Cuban Empanadas, and Bolitas de Bacalao. All of the sharable plates came out hot and fresh. My dining partner tried the Ropa Vieja (my all time favorite Cuban dish) and I decided to try the Arroz Con Pollo. Both were exceptional, and both tasted great! The Arroz con Pollo is enough to feed two people! We also had dessert, the bread pudding and the Chocolate Coconut cake and both were the perfect ending to a tasty meal. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a unique dining experience!!"

Society Bakery

★★★★☆ 4 (466) • $$

"I get my birthday cake from here every year and everyone always raves about it! Everyone is always so kind and accommodating. Every flavor of cupcake also has been incredible. My fav bakery in Dallas"

Hunky's Hamburgers

★★★★☆ 4.1 (411) • $$

"Good food, great vibes, nice staff, old time vibe. Their ranch is really good. Will be back!"

Desta Ethiopian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (390) • $$

"The food was yummy and delicious if you love authentic spices. We went we group of six and would god back. Although we went with friends who are Habesha and they ordered for the group everything i tried was great. They service was nice and the waiters were friendly and attentive. I love the ginger tea and it is very ginger."

Liberty Burger - Forest & Inwood

★★★★☆ 3.9 (440) • $$

"Food great, ambiance good, service good. Use to go here long time ago. Was traveling thru this part of Dallas decided stop w some area friends. The food & burgers were still as good as i remembered. I did the burger "bowl" cuz i wanted no bread this time. But my friends burgers looked good & they gave me a piece of their bun."

Chante Mexican Grill & Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.4 (344) • $$

"My first culinary introduction to Lewisville was eating here and the vibe was perfect given how tired I was after a 5am flight to Dallas from Oakland. After leaving Dallas Loce and checking into our Air BnB, we were starving and luckily found this gem of a place.The staff here (especially Amanda) were super friendly and helpful. The beer is ice cold, the complimentary chips and salsa plentiful and an excellent warm prior to the main dish.I had the peacado el Refugio and absolutely loved it. The vibe here is comfortable and friendly social with accommodating, friendly and professional staff.Had a great time here. You will enjoy it here too!"

Nonna Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (361) • $$$

"I'm picky when it comes to Italian food. I will say compared to what we have in Texas this is on the higher end of options but I've had better. The best dish was the mortadella pistachio pizza. Sadly, the truffle cream sauce pasta (white sauce in photo) had no salt! The flavor was just bland with that. Overall it was a good meal but not mind blowing. We were sitting by the door and the waiter opened it to let some people leave and we got blasted with cold winter air which also quickly cooled off our food, just something that should be considered when eating somewhere nicer. Dark vibes, cool lounge area."

Hook Line & Sinker

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (522) • $$

"I visited twice and ordered the burger with grilled jalapeños, oysters, and salmon with white rice and vegetables. Overall, the burger was decent. The vegetables were well-seasoned, but the rice was bland, and the salmon lacked significant flavor. The gumbo was underwhelming, and the stuffed jalapeños were not worth ordering. However, the service was good. I'd consider returning to try the catfish since many people ordered it, but the oysters were terrible--they tasted like dirty lake water."

Ked's Artisan Ice Cream & Treats

★★★★☆ 4.2 (322) • $$

"My waistline and LDL cholesterol level won't let me patronize this place as much as I want, but it's well worth the splurge when I do.Ked's offers the usual fare of chocolate, butter pecan and rocky road, but the Desi inspired flavors are what set this place apart. Don't be afraid to try something exotic or unusual. The counter staff are friendly and helpful and will give recommendations or a sample."

Liberty Burger

★★★★☆ 4.1 (306) • $$

"I was in town for a quick visit and had a hankering to come back to a chain that gave so many positive culinary memories. I used to go to the Keller Springs location but Lakewood was the closest this time. Some things had changed in the 4-5 years since I'd been back - or maybe this location is set up differently - but I have mixed feelings about the experience.First, instead of servers I was directed to a counter to order my food. Not the biggest deal but I liked being able to sit down for my order. Also, I recall a few different choices of buns. I was never asked and I found the default to be rather sad and flat. One intriguing change was the self-serve soft drink machines that featured offerings from a local supplier. The mandarin and lemon-lime I sampled wasn't bad although I would have also like some national brand options. The Wild West burger I got was okay. The meat and fixings were good but were brought down by the mediocre bun. My skinny fries were still pretty good. Like many businesses during these extraordinary times, it seems that Liberty Burger has had to make some pivots to save money. Unfortunately for me, a lot of it detracted from the previous experience I remembered fondly. At the very least, they should bring back the bun variety or have the counter staff be clearer that there are still options available."

Better Than Sex A Dessert Restaurant - Plano

★★★★☆ 4.2 (289) • $$

"I love this restaurant! I went here with my lover around November 2024 and the pictures shown below were from their Winter/Holiday menu. I finally got around to leaving my review since I was looking at my foodie pictures. 1) They are open pretty late (I believe past midnight) 2) When we were at this restaurant, they had a Santa for couples/parties that want to take pictures. It was cute!3) there are many small/tight booths for couples and for our small table we had a small curtain for privacy. It could be loud due to music and chatter all around. It is really dim so watch your step. 4) My lover and I LOVED the service and we loved our server who greeted us, made us comfortable, and told us mini descriptions of our order. Our server was very friendly, humorous, and welcoming! 5) Food: We got the assortment of the cakes because we got more bang for our buck. It was very tasty! Even though it was just 5 slices, my lover and I thought it was still a bit too much for the both of us. The hot chocolate we got was alright, I wanted to try it out but I wouldn't order it again for the price it costs because I thought it was basic. It looked nice though! 6) My lover and I were the second to last people to enter the restaurant, we didn't realize that we were the last people there once we finished eating!! Nobody rushed us or mentioned that we were the last people there and they were cleaning up. We felt so bad! But we love them for that and their service. 7) bathroom: bathroom was spacious, supplied well, and cute! (I personally rank restaurants on their bathrooms as well haha) My lover and I would come back because we loved our experience!"

Gallo Nero

★★★★☆ 4 (303) • $$

"Lucia was an amazing addition to our dining experience! The food was fresh and tasty and the restaurant and bathrooms were clean!!Lucia ensured we had our drinks full and that our needs were being met! Definitely appreciated the care and environment here!"

Cremona Bistro Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (318) • $$

"Homey italian spot with extremely nice staff. Roger Simpson performs pretty much every time we eat here on weekends and my man can play the flute while singing and also playing saxophone!!!! Great ambiance for a relaxed dinner that makes you feel like home. My favorite dish here is their snapper which comes with garlic pasta. The veal scallopini slightly sweet for my taste but overall very also delicious with a glass of merlot. Did I mention unlimited garlic bread??"

Cretia's Eatery & Bake Shoppe

★★★★☆ 4 (281) • $$

"Enjoyed a business lunch meeting here.Service was spectacular. Our server was managing the whole dining room by herself and did so such gracefully -- smiling at every table. She made a hard job look effortlessly easy!Everyone in our party ordered something different and we all agreed that our food was prepared with a lot of fresh ingredients. Not a lot of places can still own that because things are often preheated and the re-heated, etc. It was clear that everything ordered for our table was made to order.I personally ordered the Rustic Nicoise Steak Salad which is described on the menu as 'Mixed Greens with a Poached Egg, Red Potatoes, Haricot Vert, Cherry Tomatoes, Olives, and Avocado paired with a Light Herb Vinaigrette.' Really great make up of a light (and very filling) salad. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly.The restaurant itself had a laid back community feel -- nothing too fancy or uptight.These guys also sell whole cakes in different flavors, shapes, and sizes.Support local small businesses y'all!"

Wicked Snow

★★★★☆ 4.4 (215) • $$

"Almost embarrassed to say that I have been to this place 3 times this week and I live 20mins away.. that's 20mins without Dallas traffic. If that alone doesn't sell you on their Bingsu-- I'll continueEach time I have ordered the half mango half strawberry because why not get the best of both worlds? I ordered extra condense milk on the size and each time got a large to share with +1. It is extremely soft, sweet and flavorful. The fruit is fresh and the only thing I wish that they had a location right around the corner from me :)The atmosphere is very clean and organized there is a lot of open seating and tables to accommodate the big crowds and even the more intimate days. Definitely would recommend as there are only a handful of bingsu spots in DTX and this one is at the top of my list so far"

Sushi Sakana Southlake

★★★★★ 4.7 (175) • $$

"High quality sushi with good ambiance. Servers were pleasant and welcoming, I would definitely come back!!!!!!"

Giro Trattoria & Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (203) • $$

"Our server was kind and patient. But quick with refills and delivery of the delicious food. Honestly, the worst part of our dinner was the loud table next to us. A family of four who were loud talkers. Not the restaurants fault. The menu had many interesting entrees to explore and the pizzas were also worth exploring. We can't wait to go back."

Kessler Baking Studio

★★★★★ 4.7 (161) • $

"Hands down the best Bakery in the DFW if not the state of Texas! The owners are the best people you could ever meet. The presentation of the pastries is very nice. You can see the pride put into the bakery and their products. This place rivals with bakeries in Paris. Please go and patronize this establishment. It's wonderful!!! We'll definitely return for more! Often!"

Bigdash Ice Cream & Pastries

★★★★☆ 4.3 (183) • $

"***Dubai Chocolate***They have it!! The viral Dubai chocolate is here!!! And honestly of the different ones I've tried in the area this one totally satisfies your sweet tooth! They keep it refrigerated which keeps the bar crunchy!! I was hooked at first bite and sound!!Other than this viral craze- they have amazing Arabic Ice-Cream (rose flavor is my favorite) An amazing assortment of FRESH baklava, and my ultimate favorite dessert Red Kunafa!!! Warm, cheesy, crunchy, deliciousness!!! The Turkish coffee is great here as well! This cute place is fun for families, hangouts, or to go deserts! And service is absolutely phenomenal! If you're looking for something different that gives you options for dessert- definitely check this place out!!"

Coconut Paradise

★★★★★ 4.6 (157)

"This place is located inside the 99 ranch, towards the left when entering. I didn't see anyone working there at first, but there is a bell to ring them and they came out the back right after. I heard they opened up around 2 years ago, and they do have freshly made fruit ingredients. What we ordered were very good tasting."
