Best Dessert in Arkansas

"No city guide is complete without ice cream, and no Little Rock flavor roundup would be complete without the eclectic, locally sourced offerings of Loblolly Creamery. While many restaurants in the city serve Loblolly’s cool treats on their own menus, the ice cream wonders are best enjoyed at the old-fashioned soda fountain within the Green Corner Store in Little Rock’s SoMA District. Buttermilk, honey-green tea and Little Rock-y Road are outstanding – as are the fantastic collaborative ice creams created from local products such as Rocktown Bourbon Pecan made from Rocktown Distillery’s award-winning bourbon and Death by KYYA from KYYA’s bean-to-bar chocolate."

"The Loblolly Creamery is a small-batch ice cream shop providing cold refreshments for the hot Arkansas days. Their assortment of unusual flavors includes Black Cat Vanilla (yes, it’s black) and Red Velvet Pig Sooie. Coffee and baked goods, as colorful as the ice cream, round out the menu."

"Although the Community Bakery has had a few different owners throughout the years, it is still famous and most visited for its homemade cakes and recipes its bakers have been using for 60 years. Serving everything from breakfast, sandwiches and warm soups, to scrumptious wedding cakes or typical European pastries, the place is never empty, especially during holidays when its seasonal desserts come into play."

"They also have the most delicious cakes and loaves of bread you can imagine. Its long history means that many of the recipes used 60 years ago are still in use today. Their cake cabinet is a sight to behold and I had to fight the urge to buy “all the cakes”."

"King cakes come in three varieties: cream cheese, raspberry and praline and pecan at $19.95 each. They also have fleur de lis sugar cookies for 60 cents a piece or $6 for a dozen."

"Perfect for a more casual date night (or date lunch), Soul Fish Cafe is the place to go for a plate full of classic, southern comfort food. Their menu features tempting dishes such as blackened salmon, mac ‘n’ cheese, sweet potato fries and caramel pecan pie. Soul Fish is a chain restaurant based out of Memphis, and this Little Rock location was their first outside of Tennessee."

"The Purple Cow Restaurant in Midtown, Little Rock is well worth stopping by. The interior expresses a mixture of imagination, quality and uniqueness. Keeping an Arkansas tradition alive since 1989, they offer some of the greatest shakes and malts you have ever tasted."

"I've been going to Purple Cow since before I could eat solid food, and it's still one of the best places around. The Bleu cheese burger is my…"

"More than just a spot for sweets, Kris & Sam’s offers boxed lunches in addition to their Cookies, Cake Balls, Chocolate-Covered Strawberries, and Brownies. Customers can choose from their variety of Sandwiches, Wraps, and Salads to make the sweets all that more worth it. For events, they also offer Cookie Trays and Cookie Cakes."

"If you only have time for an easy, family-friendly hike with plenty of things to do, Allsopp Park is for you. Located right near the city center, the total trail runs 3.7 miles of intermediate paved and earthen trails and is perfect for hikers of all ages and abilities. The trail is also pet friendly, as long as you keep your pet on a leash."

"This park, located on Cantrell and Cedar Hill Road, has become one of Little Rock's most used metropolitan parks. You can find a playground, a baseball field, tennis courts and biking and hiking trails here. It's a great place for families to bring the kids."

"Located on I-630 & Rodney Parham, this park has a softball field, playgrounds, bike trails, jogging trails, basketball, tennis, picnic tables, and pavilions. It is a favorite with skateboarders in Little Rock."

"Raduno offers Neapolitan-style pizzas and gourmet soups, salads, and sandwiches for lunch and dinner, as well as an exceptional brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays.
