Best Dessert in Bel Air

"Pitango Fells Point has been churning gelato and sorbet on location since 2007. It was the first of six Pitango locations to open, and sources fresh milk, cream and eggs from an organic farm in Pennsylvania. Pitango focuses on simple flavors and high-quality ingredients, favoring single-origin chocolate and real fresh fruit over artificial colors and flavorings."

While Pitango Gelato’s flavors are more classic and tame, that doesn’t mean their quality is any less. This healthier alternative to ice cream is creamy and delicious, and will no doubt have you coming back for more."

"Every batch of gelato and sorbet from this Fell’s Point shop is churched fresh every day. Google Map Directions here."

"Case in point, their creative spin on chicken and waffles: jerk duck and cornbread waffles. These mouthwatering waffles are paired with a bite of seasoned duck, poached egg, and a delicate touch of powerful orange marmalade. If that’s got you salivating then just wait until you see the rest of the incredibly inventive menu…"

"Water for Chocolate wins in the category of name, but how does its coffee hold up?. While it doesn’t quite match the pure quality of Zeke’s, Water for Chocolate more than makes up for it with ingenuity. We’re not sure why their coffee ice cubes aren’t a universal practice for iced coffee yet."

"Taharka Brothers is bigger than an ice cream shop or their now-signature electric pink truck—it has a mission at its core to encourage leadership in urban youth as a force for social change. With flavors like Coffee Oreo, Honey Graham, and Matcha Mochi, the Baltimore-based handcrafted brand is sold in stores, restaurants, and universities all over Baltimore and D.C., as well as through their headquarters. Their crowdfunded truck, the Change-Maker Mobile, can be found at area events and through Twitter."

"This ice cream shop offers a mix of the old with the new — the market first opened in 1786, but the 21st century ice cream company has its roots in social change and community activism. You’ve probably seen their hot pink, crowd-funded ice cream truck around the city, but now you can visit Taharka Brothers anytime in Fells Point. Check out this short documentary to learn more about the company’s history and mission."

"Taharka Brothers has some of the best ice cream in the area, with unique flavors that will leave you completely and utterly satisfied. Order their ice cream online or visit their stall in Broadway Market to get your fix. SEE ALSO:Apropoe's: Cauliflower Ravioli's a Thing?"

"Diablo Doughnuts, a breakfast and brunch spot that offers doughnuts and more in Federal Hill, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 196 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1035 Light St. to see for yourself. Doughnuts in a variety of flavors and colors include blackberry lime, blueberry basil, creme brûlée and bacon-topped maple-glazed."

"Located at 1035 Light Street, Diablo Doughnut’s always on point, and their creativity’s second to none. You can tell they put a lot of love into their food, and their desserts are always fresh and fluffy. With fun flavors like Unicorn Farts and Panty Dropper, you know you’re in for a treat!"

"Absolutely one of the most unique donut shops you will ever come across. Love the variety as well, so everyone can have something delicious as well as di..."

"There’s a reason why Waffie made Yelp’s “top 100 places to eat in the USA.”  Located in Hampden at 839 W 36th St, they do everything from savory to sweet waffles. You can build your own creation or treat yourself to one of their many pre-formed options. Their yeast-risen waffles taste like buttery magic, and you get to top them with all kinds of goodness."

"A single food has been known to change the course of a person’s life. For Dane Thibodeaux, co-owner of Sacre Sucre in Fells Point, it was a fig macaron he ate in Paris while on vacation. He still remembers biting into the seed of the fig jam in the middle."

"Sacre Sucre’s one of THE most amazing dessert shops I’ve ever been to, like in the world. Their work is edible art, and you absolutely need to experience their sweets firsthand. They started off with macarons, but I personally like their pastries best."

"This Fell’s Point shop offers a variety of seasonal pastries, from classics like eclairs and croissants, to special stylized apple tarts and caneles. They even offer monthly classes for you to learn how to make French macarons."

"From Business: Insomnia Cookies is a rapidly expanding late-night bakery concept with offices in both New York and Philadelphia. Founded in a college dorm room in 2003 at the…"

"In reality, it’s something much more: Vaccaro’s is a testament to the institution that is dessert. Perfect as a date spot but just as viable for a late night dessert binge, the glass case is stacked with a whole variety of options, the most notable of which being the cannoli cake. The alternating layers of the richest cannoli cream and ethereally light cake will bring a single tear to your eye as you stare, dumbfounded, across the still waters of the Inner Harbor."

"Vaccaro’s isn’t my favorite dessert place in Baltimore anymore, but I still have a soft spot for them because they were one of the first places I visited when I moved to Charm City. As a college student, I often came here to indulge my sweet tooth, and I found a lot of comfort in their food. They do everything from pastries to paninis, but my favorite thing to get here is their chocolate dipped cannoli."

"With a long legacy of treating the nation, you can be sure to find a dessert at Vaccaro’s that'll satisfy your sweet tooth. Yep, we're talking indulgent snickers volcanos, death by chocolate, mouthwatering slices of cannoli cake and even cheesecake topped with gelato, hot fudge and whipped topping. Looking for a signature?"

"Based out of Mindgrub, Codetta Bake Shop offers everything from cupcakes to lemon squares to elaborate cakes. I recently had the pleasure of trying their Chocolate Hazelnut Cake, and it was literally heaven in cake form. Think layers of decadent chocolate cake filled with Nutella and chopped hazelnuts, then covered in Nutella buttercream and topped with chocolate ganache drip, whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped hazelnuts and gold leaf."

"Codetta Bake Shop is a bakery that has combined 15 years of baking experience with truly quality ingredients, perfect execution, and endless creativity. This has left them with a line of products that is unmatched and ever-changing. Its menu is constantly growing and adapting to the needs of its customers and the interests and desires of its baking team."

"Batch Bake Shop, a bakery that offers cupcakes and custom cakes in Harford-Echodale - Perring Parkway, is another much-loved go-to, with five stars out of 42 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5414 Harford Road to see for yourself."

"Open in the Hamilton-Lauraville neighborhood since 2011, Hamilton Bakery offers breakfast, lunch, and a dessert menu. The pastries are hand-cut, and shaped so that every one is uniquely made. Hamilton’s also makes fresh artisan bread every day of the week, so even if you aren’t in the mood for a sweet dessert, a fresh loaf for the day is refreshing and warm."

"This fun Baltimore Cafe has a full menu that is absolutely delicious. But– the main selling point for kids is the bakery!. From festive cupcakes and donuts, to other fancy treats, you and your kids will positively drool with delight."

"Sweet Side Café in Hampden, is another much-loved, affordable go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 85 Yelp reviews. Head over to 3543 Chestnut Ave. to see for yourself. We looked for an overview of the bakery."

"Over in Hampden, check out Sweet Side Café, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 69 reviews on Yelp. You can find the bakery, which offers coffee, tea, bagels and more, at 3543 Chestnut Ave."

"A gem of Baltimore, Piedigrotta Italian Bakery was originally a restaurant, bakery, and gelato parlor that was opened in 1969 in southern Italy, where the owner and founder is from. The name stayed the same when founder Carminantonio Iannaccone and his wife Bruna brought their shop to Baltimore in 2002. After being open for only a year, it was named ‘Baltimore’s Best Bakery.’ Iannaccone is also created the world famous Italian dessert, tiramisu."

"Some places in Baltimore offer pickup as an option, like Le Bistro Du Village in Mount Washington, Emma’s Tea Spot in Glenham-Belhar, Bon Fresco in Inner Harbor, Kitsch in Roland Park, and Spring Cafe in Hampden."
