Explore with me as I go over all the best spots in Pensacola to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Located in the heart of East Pensacola, J's Bakery and Cafe is a must visit for all your sweet treat needs. Since 1946, J's Bakery and Cafe has been delighting customers with a delectable selection of fresh doughnuts, pastries, cookies, and cakes. There is also a breakfast and lunch menu, as well as a great selection of cakes for every occasion. Delicious!
Nestled in the heart of East Pensacola, Lamonte Gelato offers the perfect sweet treat for any occasion. All of their gelato is produced on site, and they have a variety of different flavors. My personal favorite is the Stracciatella, which is vanilla and chocolate. You can enjoy your gelato in a house made waffle cone (which is delicious) or a cup if you prefer. Lamonte Gelato is great for bringing the whole family or even a date night.
The Blue Wahoos has a lot of different sweet treats to choose from but my favorite specifically would be the dole whip! This treat definitely hits the spot when it’s a hot summer night and you’re watching the Blue Wahoos Baseball game.
Bubba’s Sweet Spot is the perfect stop if you’re Downtown. They’ve got homemade chocolate, fudge, candy, and ice cream. How’s that for satisfying your sweet tooth? The aroma of the fresh chocolate and ice cream as you walk in is delightful. Enjoy some ice cream while you’re there and don’t forget to take some sweet treats home with you to enjoy later!
Say cheese! Cheesecakes are baked daily at Chrisoula’s Cheesecake Shoppe. There are a dozen flavors to choose from as well as different size options. A personal sized strawberry cheesecake is my favorite – can’t go wrong with a good classic cheesecake.
This retro style diner located in East Pensacola is definitely an Instagram-worthy spot! Their old fashion milkshakes are the best aesthetic sweet treat.
The Coastal Cat Cafe is a must when in Pensacola! Not only do you get to visit with and potentially adopt a new furry friend, but you may enjoy sweet treats as well as drinks there as well! They've got several pastries, cake pops, oreo pops, and even cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Wherever you are in Pensacola, a variety of treats await you to satisfy your cravings and sweeten your day.
