Best Dessert in Belleville

"The iconic custard shop has been in business for more than 80 years serving up its famous concretes, sundaes and shakes. Try a specialty concrete like the Terramizzou, a blend of chocolate sauce and pistachios, or the Hawaiian, a combination of banana, coconut, pineapple and macadamia nuts. Ted Dewes has two locations in south St. Louis."

"Grab a frozen custard at this old fashioned, wait-outside-in-line stand, treasured by St. Louisians. Summer nights are busy, but the super efficient...Read More"

"The roasting process at Park Avenue Coffee is pure innovation, resulting in a perfect cup of java every time. They air-roast their beans in small batches which is proven to bring out the flavor of the coffee and nothing else."

"Clementine’s knocked everyone’s socks off when they introduced St. Louis to “handcrafted small batch” ice cream, using only the finest natural ingredients. They call their ice cream Naughty and Nice because they have a selection of boozy ice creams–but their ice cream shop is totally family friendly. Their first location is amazingly TINY, so I suggest heading to their newest location in South Hampton at 4715 Mackland."

"Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery is an ice cream creamery that is right next to Washington University's campus in St. Louis. It is right in the middle of a neighborhood and has a small-shop vibe. The neighborhood and vibe of the store helps to push it to be one of my favorite and (I think) best places to get ice cream."

"I'm not even vegan, but this is some of the richest ice cream I have ever laid a tongue on. If you're 21 and feeling fun and flirty, check out their "naughty" flavors which all contain a wee bit of alcohol with every lick. As far as St. Louis goes, this is just the tip of the iceberg for foods and restaurants."

"Fitz’s Root Beer is not only a soda microbrewery, but it is also a retro restaurant serving classic pub fare. Treat yourself to tasty dishes such as the Scottish Fish & Chips, Fitz’s Cajun Gumbo, or the Grand Coney Hot Dog (with Fitz’s famous chili, cheese, onions, and onion rings). Don’t miss the root beer!"

"O.M.G. Every summer the boys and I have to make a trip to Fitz’s just for the ice cream. Why we like it: three scoops of ice cream on Fitz’s Root Beer on tap!. Two locations: 6605 Delmar Boulevard in the Loop and 5244 S."

"Their vintage bottles of craft soda can be found in grocery stores across the St. Louis area but the mammoth sized floats are served up at their restaurant in the Delmar Loop."

"Bailey's Chocolate Bar is not technically just ice cream, rather it is a dessert & martini bar. However, it is the best place that I have ever gone for dessert. It is in a building that has really nostalgic architecture and it would be perfect to go for a date night or a fun girls night (like my friends and I did)."

"What more needs to be said about a bar that offers two-dozen variations on the chocolate martini?. Darkly lit and serving up a menu of pure decadence, Bailey's Chocolate Bar is the sort of place you could never take a first date. It's just too obviously a come-on."

"Just arrive there starving and fill your stomach with delicious treats. And what other way to celebrate bae than to share the Lovers' Plate with her?. Just make sure you keep an eye on how much the other person is eating."

"The donuts were tasty but I felt uncomfortable eating since there was filth everywhere...tables, floors, glass. I was too scared to even check the restroom."

"Opened over 125 years ago in 1876, Forest Park really has been around forever. In fact, the 1,371 acres hosted the World’s Fair, or Louisiana Purchase Exposition, back in 1904. The exposition was one of the grandest moments in St. Louis history and was rich with culture."

"Since they moved the Arch’s front door closer to downtown and demolished the north parking garage, you now walk by one of THE best spots to grab a family photo of the Gateway Arch: the Luther Ely Smith Square. (Unless you parked on the levee, but that’s another story.). Because it’s mislabeled as a “park” in Google Maps, you probably thought this little scrap of green space was local city park, especially when it was hemmed in by streets on all four sides."

"Citygarden Sculpture Garden is an urban park in St. Louis that is owned by the City of St. Louis but maintained by an arts organization known as the Gateway Foundation."

"If you want to snag a seat at Retreat Gastropub for brunch, you better stop in early. Since opening in October 2015, the modern-yet-rustic pub has won fans for its weekend brunch, featuring dishes like a poutine slinger with mushroom gravy, salmon cake Benedict, Farmhouse Burger topped with a fried egg, biscuits and gravy and whole-egg fritatta. In addition to the perennial Bloody Mary, Retreat offers some seriously creative cocktails, including a Cold Fashioned with Sump Coffee's cold brew, sugar and bitters, as well as several housemade shrubs in flavors like pineapple-sage, orange-vanilla and cherry-balsamic."

"The menu is described as “scratch-made American pub food with a modern twist,” one being that half the items are vegetarian (the veggie ragout with trout is flat-out delicious) while the other half are g’pub staples like poutine. $$, 101 Best Restaurants 2016, American, Best Restaurants 2018, Central West End, Gastro Pub.
