Dessert Places in Orlando

Take a look at these great desert places in Orlando that the entire family will enjoy.

B Cupcakes

B Cupcake in Apopka offers over 20 flavors of cupcakes to choose from. Order single cupcakes or a variety, no one will judge! With flavors like, chocoholic, salted caramel, white chocolate raspberry, key lime, and lemon coconut crunch, to name a few, this is sure to satisfy a cupcake craving. B Cupcakes is also an award winning cupcake bakery!

Birchwood Coffee

Birchwood Coffee is a family owned business that offers delectable dessert options alongside a coffee menu that will satisfy even the most hardcore coffee connoisseur. In my opinion, this is the best of both worlds. Enjoy coffee, matcha, tea, the yummy tea latte, or one of their other beverage choices along with a dessert. The kiddos can enjoy dessert, lemonade, or a hot chocolate and hang out at the little reading table and nook just for them. There is a book shelf stocked with an array of books for adults as well. Enjoy delicious southern family dessert recipes like buttermilk pound cake, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, cheesecake, and peach cobbler. A must try is the banana split, it is a delicious layered dessert with a graham cracker bottom layer and cherries on top, of course! (They also have a breakfast menu, try the french toast casserole or the homemade cinnamon rolls! These can definitely pass as a dessert!)

Charlie’s Gourmet Pastries

Charlie’s Gourmet Pastries in Orlando is a hidden gem to many! Indulge your sweet tooth with so many cookie options like tea cookies, sugar, chinese almond, chocolate chunk, peanut butter, white macadamia nut, and so much more. Other options include connoli’s, tiramisu, and so many varieties of cakes and pies.

Dochi

The mochi donuts at Dochi are a mix between the Japanese rice dessert and the american fried donut. With a crispy outer layer and a soft chewy inner layer, it won’t disappoint and is worth a try. Dochi has a wide range of flavors like honey dew, cookie butter, churotella, blueberry, and many more. There are two locations in Orlando, East End Market, and Mills District.

The Donut King

The Donut King is the donut place I have heard about since I moved to Central Florida. Their flavors of donuts are delicious, Blueberry cake, cherry cake, butterfinger, oh my..

The Donut King is home of the Birthday donut, a donut big enough to fill a dozen donut box and perfect for every birthday boy or girl…or mom or dad! Check out their menu for other food choices too!

Donuts To Go

Donuts To Go is a small mom and pop shop in Sanford. They take pride in that and it shows in all of their donut creations. Stop by for a traditional glazed and a cup of coffee or choose from their eclectic flavors. Maple Bacon, Strawberry Cheesecake, Oreo, and Fruity Pebbles are just a few flavors you’ll find on their menu. Not a donut person? No problem, check out their soups, egg bowls, sandwiches, or burritos.

Gideon’s Bakehouse

You can purchase a cookie weighing nearly ½ pound at Gideon’s Bakehouse. Yes, you read that correctly ½ pound. Baked fresh daily and with a variety of options, Gideon’s will certainly satisfy that sweet tooth. Original chocolate chip, peanut butter espresso, peanut butter crunch, and coffee cake are just a few options available in that ½ pound cookie. Cake slices are also available! They have 2 locations, check out the original location in East End Market in Orlando, or head to Disney Springs for the other.

You can make your own “homemade” ice cream at home instead of going to a shop to get it. My kids love it.

The Greenery Creamery

The Greenery Creamery is Orlando’s first artisanal ice cream boutique. The Orlando location has teamed up with Orlandough for a combination that is simply delicious! Who wouldn’t want to try a donut topped with ice cream? There’s nothing traditional about their flavors, and I like it! With plenty of dairy and vegan options everyone is sure to find something they like. Gluten free sugar cones also available.

Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream

Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream has 3 locations to meet those ice cream cravings. Experience their homemade ice cream through known traditional flavors, or step out of the box and taste one of their signature flavors like Mexican Chocolate or Cookie Monster. Non-Dairy options available.

Insomnia Cookie

Yep, you guessed it, they’re open late! Insomnia cookies has a delicious selection of cookies, cookie cakes, brownies and ice cream. Top that cookie with a scoop of ice cream and experience one of their delicious wiches. A scoop of ice cream between 2 warm cookies…you won’t be disappointed!

Mecato’s Bakery and Cafe

If you’re looking for an authentic, delicious Colombian bakery, you have found it. Mecato’s Bakery and Cafe is just that. Choose from desserts like guava cheesecake, tres leche, and flan, or go with nutella cake, strawberry shortcake, chocolate cake, or tiramisu. You won’t go wrong.

Nan and Pops Ice Cream Shop

Nan and Pops Ice Cream Shop is a new ice cream shop in Longwood. Owned by, you guessed it, Nan and Pop who have lived in Longwood for over 25 years.

One of which was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! The Vanilla Bean Bourbon Bacon Nightime SkyPie is made daily and served until it runs out, but get there early if you want to try it! Other options include mini pies, cheesecake, savory/sweet scone, cookies, brownies, and so much more.

Sister Honey’s

Sister Honey’s is an award winning bakery in Orlando! Their bakery items are made fresh daily and fly off the shelves. With items like pies, cupcakes, cakes, pastries, and so much more one can understand why! One look at the website and your mouth will be watering!

The Soda Fountain
