Whether it’s a sweet treat after dinner or an afternoon confection with a cup of cappuccino, desserts feed your soul and make you happy.  Sioux Falls is full of delectable indulgences. Here are some of the best sugary delights you can find in the Sioux Empire.

  • Brooklyn Blackout at Queen City Bakery

    A dark chocolate cake layered with sea salt infused caramel and rich ganache and covered in whipped chocolate buttercream.

    Queen City cakes aren't your typical grocery store bakery cakes. These cakes will blow your mind! Think about what your dream birthday cake would look and taste like.  Lots of layers, lots of chocolate? Yep, me too. That’s exactly what they make at Queen City. I have always said, if you want food to taste good, you have to use the best ingredients, and that’s what they do at Queen City. Yes, the cakes might be a little more expensive than what you’re used to paying, but they are worth EVERY penny. Start paying for quality, people!

  • Bailey's Chocolate Stout Cake at Parker's Bistro

    Parker's Bistro is known for its atmosphere, signature drinks and scratch-made food. Hopefully you'll leave room for dessert and give the three-layer chocolate Guinness Stout cake with Bailey's cream cheese frosting, Irish cream chocolate sauce, and creme anglaise a try.

  • Hot Fudge Kahlua Brownie at Famous Dave's

    A warm, walnut-covered chocolate brownie soaked with Kahlúa liqueur and topped with vanilla bean ice cream, hot fudge and whipped cream.

    Famous Dave's is known for BBQ, but don't forget to leave room for dessert. The Kahlua brownie is a regular brownie that has been kicked up about one-thousand notches.

  • Caramel Rolls at The Cookie Jar Eatery

    I just can't even explain these little doughy clouds of happiness. It's the best caramel topping I have ever tasted on a roll. Enjoy one at the The Cookie Jar Eatery at 230 S. Phillips Avenue or call a couple days ahead and order a dozen or two for brunch or when you have family coming over.

  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Attack Cupcake at Oh My Cupcakes!

    Oh My Cucake's signature chocolate cupcake infused with a creamy peanut butter filling and topped with a whipped peanut butter buttercream and sprinkles.

    Who doesn't love surprises? When you bite into this cupcake you're greeted by a creamy, peanut butter filling surrounded by decadent chocolate cake. Nothing wrong with this at all.

  • Homemade Tiramisu at Spezia

    The Italian classic is homemade, right in the Spezia kitchen.

    Spezia at 4801 S. Louise in Sioux Falls makes scrumptious Italian entrees, but this dessert steals the show.

  • Awesome Ice Cream Treats

  • Pumpkin Cheesecake at Sugar's Baked Goods

    Sugar’s Baked Goods at 26th and Marion offers several varieties of cupcakes, pies and other sweets, but if you're a cheesecake lover, you have to try the pumpkin swirl cheesecake at Sugar's. Having company? Call and order one.

  • Coconut Cream Pie at Josiah's Coffeehouse

    I usually like my pie crust pretty thin, because most pie crusts taste like paste to me, but at Josiah’s Coffeehouse & Cafe, the crust is untraditionally thick and it’s good! They fill the crusts with lots of different concoctions, but you really need to try the coconut cream.

  • White Wedding Cake Cupcakes at Half Baked

    The best part about attending weddings isn't seeing two people who are madly in love commit to one another for the rest of their lives, it's eating the cake at the reception! Half Baked at 120 S. Phillips Ave. recreates the traditional wedding cake flavor with their White Wedding Cake cupcake. It's white cake with vanilla/almond flavoring and vanilla/almond buttercream icing.

     

  • Make-Your-Own Smores at Crawford's

    This is probably the coolest dessert experience in Sioux Falls. Crawford's Bar and Grill in downtown Sioux Falls offers a tabletop fire to toast your marshmallows and then you construct your s'mores.

  • Baklava from Sanaa's 8th Street Gourmet

    Sanaa’s 8th Street Gourmet specializes in Mediterranean cuisine. Try a sweet delight from Sanaa's pastry case. The Baklava melts in your mouth.

  • Everything at CH Patisserie

    We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the European bakery at 320 S. Phillips Avenue called CH Patisserie, owned by "Top Chef: Just Desserts" winner, Chris Hammer. There isn’t just ONE dessert that makes our list, it’s ALL of them. Each dessert is a piece of edible art. You almost don't want to eat them - but you do - and you savor every single bite. From the French macarons, to the vanilla bean eclair, to the chocolate dream, everything melts in your mouth.
