The 15 Best Desserts to Eat in Atlanta Before You Die
"If giants were real and they had a sweet tooth, they'd eat this indulgent creation. Bring a buddy or prepare for a severe sugar rush before sticking a fork into the two overgrown slices of massive challah bread slathered with peanut butter and encrusted with bran flakes, cut in half and swimming in a shallow pool of brown sugar butter and caramelized bananas."
"Multiple locations fuel Atlanta’s pastry loving taste buds with unbelievable baked goods. But the cinnamon rolls and dreamy Peanut Butter French Toast are where it’s at. The rolls are drenched in a gooey frosting-like glaze and have warm soft center, while the mile high French toast is satisfyingly hearty while bursting with nutty flavor."
"With full breakfast menus and coffee in tow, this bakery has expanded with multiple locations across the city and provides everything from fresh bread and bagels to sweeter muffins and cinnamon rolls. The decorative cakes will wow any party guest."
"The Bistro Niko give a nod to the city of Paris, France right in the middle of Atlanta’s Buckhead district. Serving classic, simple, and authentic French cuisine, Bistro Niko also offers a good wine list, interesting cocktails, and a rather extensive list of craft beers that provides something for all tastes. Lunch is offered Monday to Saturday from 11:30am until 5:00pm, dinner is served seven days a week starting at 5:00pm until 10:00pm Sunday to Thursday and 11:00pm Friday and Saturday."
"Take your sweetie to enjoy classic French fare at this Buckhead staple. You’ll love the classic red French bistro booths, the open kitchen letting you PEAK into your meal being made, and classic French fare like escargot, perfectly cooked scallops, and profiteroles."
"Sweet Hut Bakery has multiple locations around Atlanta, and includes delectable pastries and desserts on its menu. All of the metro Atlanta locations continue to remain open to fulfill those sugar requirements. Download the Sweet Hut app or order online for delivery via DoorDash, UberEats, and ChowNow."
"Light and spongy Japanese cupcakes are filled with sweet vanilla buttercream. Call in your order for pickup or delivery via Sweet Hut’s app. Check the website for hours and locations that are currently open."
"Centered around East Asian baked designs, this trendy bakeshop, with locations on Buford Highway and in Midtown, offers sweeter crème buns, savory pork buns, and beverages such as bubble tea to match."
"If a dive bar, a dance hall, and a strip club had a baby, it would be the Clermont Lounge. This local landmark opened more than 50 years ago and it’s one of the first places anyone will mention when you ask what you have to do or see while you’re in Atlanta. The music is loud, the floor is dirty, and the beer is cold, and while some of the dancers are tattooed from head to toe, others are old enough to be your grandma and will show you some creative ways to crush a beer can."
"After decades of vacancy, Hotel Clermont reopened in June, making it the star of this summer. Much of the buzz is owed to how it was remodeled: the resurrected Hotel Clermont balances grit with glamour and encapsulates its decades of existence. Reservations aren’t required to enjoy their rooftop bar, which offers campy takes under a neon glow."
"Poncey HighlandHotel Clermont’s vintage-chic rooftop is open for drinks. There’s a $5 cover charge (credit card only) to enter, masks must be worn while inside the building, and once you leave the roof you must leave the hotel."
"Birthday Cakes don’t have to be layer cake, for a little something different try a beautifully decorated Bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. They come in a variety of sizes from tiny to massive but for a birthday party of up to 20 guests the 10 inch Bundt cake is perfect. For a larger party get an 8 inch Bundt cake stacked on top of a 10 inch Bundt cake to serve up to 30 guests www.nothingbundtcakes.com"
"Just the sound of the honey makes us want to have boba tea right now. Here in Honey bubble you will find yourself confused about which milk tea you would like to order. Trust me you might want to order all of it because each flavor will not disappoint."
"1976 Hosea L Williams Dr NE Atlanta, GA 30317 (404) 963-6976. Anna’s BBQ is the place to go if you want smoked meats and traditional BBQ beef and pork. The eatery is owned by Alexander Coates, Lakesia Phelps and her family in Kirkwood on Atlanta’s eastside."
"The first Atlanta outpost of this popular Nashville doughnut shop opened in Ponce City Market in 2018. The shop’s most famous treat is the 100-layer doughnut — a doughnut-croissant hybrid that takes nearly four days to create. These giant doughnuts, however, are crispy and light, coming in flavors like chocolate sea salt or vanilla cream."
"I am always on the hunt for great donuts because I would rather throw myself down a flight of stairs than eat the trash chain donuts we all know and hate..."
"The spicy noodles with basil leaves came with zucchini and my protein choice of beef. I ordered medium spicy and it was just right, enough spice for flavor but not enough to overpower and just feel heat and nothing else. Thai Chili is currently only offering take-out and delivery, but when open they have Thai floor seating."
"Atlanta Contemporary is a non-profit, non-collecting institution. The space features works by Georgia artists in painting, print, sculpture, photography, performance, and more!. It has become one of the nation’s leading contemporary art centers, playing a vital role in Atlanta’s cultural landscape."
"Feel free to check out Atlanta Contemporary, just ten minutes from our bed and breakfast. This institution specializes in contemporary art with several rotating exhibitions. For over 30 years, they have brought unique artwork from around the world to the local community."
"With everything from rum cake to lemon squares and chocolate brownies to decorated cookies, Lucy’s Market comes to the rescue of hostesses in a pinch time and time again. Their assortment of pre-made desserts is tough to beat both in variety and in flavor; plus their prime location and helpful staff make shopping a breeze. Besides being a stress-free destination for overloaded cooks, Lucy’s is also perfect for those of us who might not be preparing the entire meal."
"The Buckhead market includes fresh produce, prepared foods, wine, flowers, and other household goods. Some items can even be purchased online for curbside pick-up. Lucy’s now offers sandwiches, breads, and baked goods from marketplace Butterly ATL, part of Hopkins and Company."
