Treat Yourself, to Dessert!

Do you have a sweet tooth? Well, you’re in luck because there are many places in Corpus Christi to indulge your sweetest cravings. Vacation is the time to treat yourself! I visited as many places as I could to help create the perfect list of places that can help you find the perfect place to treat yourself to a sweet treat. It was a hard job, but hey, someone had to do it.

Bien Mérité- This little French inspired bakery is AMAZING. I mean it! Baked goods are kinda my thing, so trust me: I have been to a lot of bakeries, and this place has THE BEST croissants. The chocolate almond croissant is my absolute favorite, but they are all delicious. They offer tiramisu, cakes, macarons, and sooooo much more. They also offer a few breakfast and lunch items, and they have a great coffee and tea menu!

Tea By the Sea –  In this little cottage style house, each room is thoughtfully transformed into a moody-maximalist, designer space. The aesthetic is on point, and so are the sweet treats and tea! Macarons, cookies, cakes, beignets, and so many other creative little treats are offered here! This place is small, but feels big; and the owner truly does more than make great food, she creates an experience for each and every guest. You really won’t find this experience anywhere else, so make time to treat yourself to tea time!

The Coffee Mugg – Attention Harry Potter fans, this place is for you! More than a great coffee shop, The Coffee Mugg offers a great selection of home made sweet treats. They offer adorable Harry Potter themed cookies, muffins, cupcakes, and a wide array of tasty pastries. Go for the treats, and stay for the photo-ops! This place is all things Harry Potter and oh so cute!

Desserted Island Ice Cream – Blue Bell is kinda a Texas thing, and Desserted Island #2 can def satisfy your craving for a sweet treat! Treat yourself to practically any flavor Blue Bell has ever imagined, make it a sundae, add sprinkles, or  try one of their brownies, you definitely won’t leave this place hungry. This is a kid favorite dessert stop, so bring the family!

Ninja Mochi Donuts – This ninja themed donut place takes donuts to a whole new level. Not only is each donut crafted with the most adorable decorations, they taste incredible! Minion themed donuts, fruity pebble donuts, oreo donuts, and that is just a few of their unique offerings. They also offer home made corn dogs. Now I know that is not on the sweet treat theme of this blog post, but for real y’all: you have got to try one!

Magnolia Grace Gelato y Mas – Gelato, in more flavors than you can ever imagine will be found here! So many flavors, the owner has to keep them in two separate cases. This homemade gelato is fantastic, my favorite is the tiramisu and bourbon pecan. They have lots of fun flavors like popcorn, red velvet, jolly rancher, cantaloupe, and so many more!  Here is a little secret: the owner truly believes you should treat yourself and she will literally let you taste every flavor!

Sugar Bakers Bistro & Bakery– Homemade pies are hard to find, but Sugar Bakers knows how to do it right. Apple pie, cake, cookies of all kinds…but go early because the dessert case sells out fast! They also have coffee, wine, and a great lunch menu.

Southern Style Sweets– Custom cakes, cookies, and other professionally decorated items are the most popular items here. BUT the dessert cases are stocked with cupcakes, beautifully decorated cookies, pies, bagels, and other sweet and savory baked goods. One of my favorite things about Southern Style Sweets are the carefully crafted seasonal creations. There is always a creative treat to grab to match the mood of the season or holiday!
