A Local’s Go-To Dessert and Bakeries in Pittsburgh

Last Updated on April 3, 2025


I don’t always crave dessert… but when I do, it’s one of these.

I’ll be honest—I’m not the kind of person who needs dessert after every meal. But every now and then, I find something that completely changes my mind. These spots have earned a place on the list for one simple reason: they’re worth it. Whether it’s a perfectly glazed donut, soft serve on a summer night, or something baked that stops me mid-bite, this is where I go when I want to end on a high note. The list is small, but growing—just like my sweet tooth.
