The Tastiest Desserts in Stockton

Milk & Sugar Creamery

★★★★★ 4.7 (204) • $$

"Tracy was the halfway point for my cousins from Stockton to meet for lunch, and we got Milk & Sugar Creamery for dessert. My oh my this long held bookmark was worth the wait. I think I would drive 28 minutes no traffic to visit again LOL. The flavors are super potent and you get unlimited samples! I got the taro with mochi and horchata (single split scoop) after sampling them, and I wish I sampled more!! Mochi bits were still soft, and I loved the strong cinnamon flavor in the horchata. I tried my sister's sakura ice cream and it was a little too floral for me, but she liked it the more she ate it. You can purchase pints and pre-scooped ice cream to go as well! The games are fun to play since the boards are stuck on the wall and the pieces are magnetic, so it doesn't get too chaotic. I was obsessed with their floor that looks like marble ice cream lol. Service was cheerful, patient, and friendly. Next time I will try the cookie butter and honeydew!"

"First time customers and it won't be the last. Everything was amazing! The kindness and customer service took it to the next level. We really appreciate you guys and can't wait to try more!We ordered 2 sandwiches and 3 pies. Marinated tri tip on Genova bakery roll is amazing any way you get it but the Santa Maria was what I had and I will be back for more. My husband had the cowboy and didn't share so that should tell you how he felt about that. The pie/cheesecakes we got were cookies and cream, apple, and banana cream. Apple was my favorite. Forgot to take pics of everything else but I posted what I did capture."

"I went to a graduation party yesterday in which they had cookies from this Baker.omg! I wish I lived in Manteca because I would order from there every week.Those chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter, Snicker doodle, and even chocokate sugar cookie were to die for. Sorry not, large, and deliciously sweet. I look forward to placing my order order for cookies soon!"

"This is my new favorite Indian food spot in Turlock. I used to go to Punjab Express but the quality hasn't been there. I have tried all the spots here in Turlock and this one stands out for sure. I had the chicken tikka masala and my mom had the butter chicken. Everything was really flavorful."

Bobalicious

★★★★☆ 3.9 (284) • $$

"I needed a quick lunch. So, I decided to drop by. Cute little place with a claw machine! I had ordered the Khao piak noodles (weekends only), banh mi, and watermelon drink. Service was great! Food was yummy and the drink was perfect. Not as sweet as I thought it would be. I love that they toast the Banh mi, because I live for the extra crunch. It wasn't dry or harden. I regretfully didn't get to try the noodles as I was in a rush to catch my flight in Sac. But my son ate it, and he said it was very flavorful. The noodles were fresh and have the perfect chew. Will definitely come again."

Dessert European Cakes & Pastries

★★★★☆ 4.2 (196) • $$

"I highly recommend putting the cheesecake and red velvet in the microwave for 13 seconds to really expose the flavors. Truly loved it, and they had more available at the store that isn't shown on Grubhub.Great for gifting and if you want. High quality bakery. Super nice staff, plenty of parking , small storefront. Look like you can use them for a good birthday or wedding cake also.Probably the highest quality bakery in Modesto."

Sunlight Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (195) • $$

"One the best Indian places in town and surrounding towns. I have not found one dish that I dislike. The environment makes me feel like I'm having a home cooked meal at home with my family, great service as well. All the staff are friendly and quick. Forever a costumer!"

Star India

★★★☆☆ 3 (18)

"Ordered delivery from this place , the food is just ok nothing special.I had the butter chicken , Tiki masala chicken, rice with garlic naan, The garlic naan is just one piece of bread cut in half for $3.If you're craving Indian food, there's gotta be something better around than this place , it's just mediocre."

Euro Star Café

★★★★☆ 4.4 (194) • $

"Phew, I guess one way to tell that you're at a bakery is that the inside is a hot box! It felt like a sauna here lol I'm guessing from all of the ovens running?Anyway, the cakes that I tried here were amazing! The carrot cake was one of the best that I've had. Super moist and flavorful with all of the right spices. The cream cheese frosting had the perfect sweetness to it as well. The princess cake was pleasantly light and I was really surprised that the marzipan on top wasn't overly rich at all (usually I remove some of it when eating a princess cake because of how sweet it typically is). Definitely would consider getting a whole cake version of it for a celebration.The lemon bar was alright; had a little bit of a lemon dishwasher taste to it but nothing too bad. Wasn't the biggest fan of the cannoli here as I prefer cannoli fillings with much less sugar. Enjoyed the crunchy shell though.Lastly I tried the iced coffee. Taste wasn't anything to write home about but it was still pretty smooth. Was actually quite stronger than expected.Small bakery with a few tables for dining. Located in a strip mall with plentiful parking. Overall recommend checking this spot out especially if you're looking for some European pastries/cakes in the area!"

Sunset Sweets

★★★★★ 4.6 (41) • $$

"Sunset sweets was open on 4th of July this year and given that that it was a hot day we decided to stop here for some ice cream. This place is easy to find. The ice cream was average but good. The customer service was great. The prices were pretty good too. For a family of 5 we paid on approximately $35."

Morada Neveria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (111) • $

"This place is a gem! I saw it on Yelp, and have been wanting to try it for months. Finally went today and got the chicharron preparado and it was delicious! The place is immaculate inside (I don't think I've ever stepped into a restaurant this clean before). It smells good when you walk in, the food is picture perfect when served. This is a must if you're in the Stockton area."

La Michoacana Prime

★★★★☆ 4.4 (44)

"Adding the menu pictures to help others find the options they have to choose from! They have a variety of different options of desserts & ice cream! 10/10 recommend:)"

Katrina’s Sweet Dreams

★★★★★ 5 (13)

"Katrina and I worked on a complicated cake request. We were celebrating our 3 eldest kids birthdays in one party. The task: create a cohesive cake that represented all three kids' personalities (12 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old). She not only was able to fulfill my wishes but she absolutely knocked it out of the park. The flavor was spot on, checked all the boxes for my family and I (not too sweet) and the design was beautifully executed. My eldest wanted a pink basketball theme, my middle wanted a Spidey theme and the youngest wanted cartoon Blippi theme, I've no idea how she did it but she not only created a delicious cake but also and IG worthy masterpiece! We will be ordering from Katrina again for all future events."

El Ranchero's

★★★☆☆ 3 (11)

"As a lover of Mexican cuisine, I was excited to try the first 24-hour Mexican drive-through restaurant in the Riverbank area. Offering a variety of options, it seemed like a promising addition to the local food scene.**Dishes Tried:**1. **Flautas (Rolled Crispy Tacos):** The flautas were a standout. Despite taking them home, they remained crispy and were topped with sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. The guacamole was spot on, adding a delightful freshness to each bite.2. **Carne Asada Burrito:** This burrito was packed with meat, rice, beans, cilantro, onion, and salsa. It was delicious overall, though they forgot to add the sour cream I requested. A minor oversight, especially given how busy they were. I would prefer whole beans over refried beans and felt the burrito needed a bit more salsa, but the extra salsa I had at home did the trick.3. **Quesabirrias:** The quesabirrias were another highlight. Generously filled with flavorful meat, they came with a consomé that, while a bit salty on its own, perfectly complemented the quesabirrias when used as a dip. It's evident they make the consomé from scratch with the right spices for birria/barbacoa.**Salsas:** The green tomatillo salsa was excellent, while the red salsa, though slightly watery, had a good flavor overall. The quality of the salsas is crucial as it elevates the dishes, and they mostly delivered on this front.**Service:** The service was friendly, and even though it's a drive-through, it's not fast food; it's a taqueria. They take a bit longer to prepare the orders, which is understandable given the quality of the food. **Cost:** The total came to about $45 for 3 flautas with guacamole, cheese, and sour cream, 1 asada burrito, and 4 quesabirrias. Considering the quality and quantity of the food, I found the pricing to be fair.**Overall Experience:** This taqueria with a drive-through is a fantastic concept. The minor hiccup with the sour cream didn't detract from the overall positive experience. I appreciate the effort they put into making authentic and delicious Mexican food, and I'll definitely be back!**Rating:** (4/5)"

"This women knows her costumers!!!! I found her through one of my friends(she's his auntie.) I was looking for desserts for my baby shower and came across her. I booked with her early in advance because she's very popular and I had to have her create yummy sweets for my pregnant belly!

She does everything, when i mean everything i mean EVERYTHING-- to cake pops, macarons, candy buffet, cookies, fondant cakes, chocolate covered fruit, and etc. I can't wait to book with her for my daughters Christening, 1st birthday, and all the up coming events. She's definitely my go to for the dessert table(:"

The Goods By Lex

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"If you're in need of desserts, especially banana bread, look no further! The Goods By Lex by far bakes the best and it was absolutely delicious! The texture was perfectly moist, and the flavor was rich with just the right amount of sweetness. You can really tell that everything is made with care and high-quality ingredients. I can't wait to try more of her desserts and get my hands on her festive holiday cookie kits!. Highly recommend this wonderful small business for anyone with a sweet tooth!"

"Why oh why are you not in Orange County!! Found you while we were moving my daughter up to college and it was just what we needed for our girls weekend!!! We ordered a mixed dozen, a dozen of extra thick chocolate chip and some peanut butter brownies...sounds like I over ordered but I am SO glad we did! They arrive fresh and warm right in the hotel lobby. Definitely a new must when visiting and exactly wjat I am going to send my daughter when she needs some love.THANK YOU!!!"

Crumbl - Tracy

★★★★☆ 4.3 (134)

"I like crumbl on days I'm craving a cookie or something fun for dessert. The cookies I have gotten multiple times have been great and some were basic but that's the fun of this place. You get to try new weekly flavors with family or friends. The service is nice and welcoming. The place is nice and clean inside. I appreciate how you can see the set up and how they make the cookies. The price for minis is almost 9$ including tax. For what you pay, the sweet treats are filling and sometimes you don't even need to eat a whole cookie."

TeaSsert

★★★★☆ 3.7 (92)

"Always come here with my girlfriend when we can since it's a little far from our house. The tiger brown and ubechata are our favorites, one of a kind and so delicious. The young boy is always there helping us- he's super nice, quick, and holding the shop down. Would recommend to family & friends any day. The shop itself is supper dope, a lot of board games and seating, little toys, macarons, claw machine, foosball table, and funko pops. 20/10"

Frosty N Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.4 (11)

"The food at Frosty N Burgers was great!! I'm glad we have this on this side of the town. We ordered a couple items. We got a patty melt, double bacon cheeseburger, grilled cheese, fries, and cookies and cream Oreo milkshake. The pattymelt was great, it had avocados, two hamburger patties, grilled onions, and cheese. This is hands down the best sandwich on this side of town. The bacon cheese burger was great, flavor was on point, and there are large slices of bacon on it. My son's grilled cheese was good, he liked it and wants it again. Finally, the Oreo cookies and cream milk shake is worth it. I would come back over and over again just for the shake. Crinkle-cut fries were bomb.These guys are on point, each combo came with a huge drink, and everyone was friendly."

La Mexicana Restaurant Y Birrieria

★★★★★ 4.5 (40)

"Me and my boyfriend had only been here at night when they have the tacos going outside. We decided to give the restaurant a try and it was a good experience. My boyfriend ordered the wet burrito de pastor w/green salsa it was actually pretty big and very good like the salsa taste I would recommend it. I ordered the order of quesabirrias, comes with 3 and a side of consume (the Birria broth), the tacos were good, had a lot of meet and crunchy( I dislike soggy quesabirrias) but the consome I have to say didn't have the greatest taste. It's good but I had better. But over a good experience."

Mix Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (125)

"This bakery is a great little gem in Merced! We found them on Instagram and ordered a red velvet cake for my daughter's birthday. My daughter said the ladies were very nice and helpful when she went in to order her cake. The cake turned out to be very tasty and moist! It's definitely on the pricey side, but it made my daughter very happy. We went back to the store a couple of days later and the lemon bar is one of the best lemon bars I've had in a long time! There aren't many good options in Merced, so this bakery is a much welcomed treat!"

T-Cups Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (259) • $

"I love that they brew their tea from leaf rather than using a powder. All their teas are dairy free with the exception of the Thai tea, which they use half and half because it's strong. The owner is super friendly, and personable! This is def a business we want to have in Modesto, so make sure you support small business! If you're looking for dairy free milk tea options, this is your place!"

Paleteria Y Neveria La Michoacana

★★★★☆ 3.8 (42) • $

"I tried a sample of the ice cream and it was meh, but the Mangonada is the clear highlight here.It's got that spicy kick to a sweet fruity dessert. Kinda reminds me of a sour patch kid, anyways the regular size was plenty enough for me for six bucks. There was plenty of parking, and it certainly satisfied my sweet tooth. They also serve food, but it doesn't look like too many people order it."

The Sweet Life

★★★★☆ 4.4 (35)

"The Sweet Life has been a great addition to Hilmar! It took some time to settle, but now it is a known place for locals whenever they want to get a coffee/pastry and to order cookies/cakes for special events. A great plus is the fact that they make keto/gluten free pastries and cookies... which is not something common in the Central Valley."

Nation's Giant Hamburgers

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (128) • $$

"Solid burgers in a very clean environment. I'm used to the greasy Nations in Oakland and Tracy so I was surprised how clean the Modesto location is.Good burgers, fries and an absolutely wonderful strawberry shake. Yes, prices have gone up but they have everywhere. Quality ingredients on the burger. Kylie, the lady who took our order, was friendly and kind. All of the condiments are set up on a counter which is kept spotless. As you can see, I was really impressed by the cleanliness of the place! Great job, Nations Modesto."

Nation's Giant Hamburgers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (13)

"This Nation's is staffed by the nicest and most welcoming people. Tiffany welcomed each person upon entering and thanked them all as they left. The food is great and the restaurant is very clean."

Taqueria Chapala

★★★★☆ 4 (60) • $$

"Second time I've been here and it's the better Mexican food I have found around Brentwood. I absolutely love the Chapala off Balfour too. This place is bright and clean with beautiful colorful decorations. They have tv's so you can watch sports while you are here. Food has been good 2/2 so far. Last time I got chilaquiles, this time enchiladas. Simple good food. The server was very attentive and nice. If you want fully authentic Mexican food then cook at home. I was hungry and was waiting for my car and this place doesn't disappoint. Will definitely be coming back."

Sweetz Paradise

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"Horchata ice cream was bomb! Would definitely recommend, also had a cheese cake was fire"

Indian Curry and Grill

★★★★★ 4.9 (39)

"We stumbled into this place while making a visit to the Walmart in the same parking lot. It is brand new- grand opening balloons everywhere. It was empty but had two large TVs with the volume up loud, so don't expect a quiet lunch. It is an extensive menu, with items I hadn't seen before. Unfortunately, the menu had so many errors (like incomplete sentences) for the food descriptions that I had to ask for clarification, which made the ordering process frustrating. I got the Paneer Tikka Masala and my husband got Chicken Curry, both of which were delicious. I asked for medium heat and my husband asked for mild, but they put two hot peppers in his dish, and none in mine. Oops. The waitress didn't understand what we were trying to explain about the switch- up, then said the red peppers in his meal were just added for flavor..what? Since both dishes ended up being generatous portions and really good, I just I gave up on trying to communicate about anything else. The food is worth trying, but go with awareness that the language barrier requires some patience."
