Sweet Teeth Unite! Discovering the Best Desserts in Kansas City

While Kansas City is well known for its world-class barbecue, far too many people overlook all the fantastic dessert options the city has to offer. Kansas City has a surprisingly rich landscape of sweet treats that can satisfy every craving imaginable. The city has no shortage of bakeries, creameries, and chocolate shops.

Here at The Oaks at Prairie View, Kansas Citys favorite apartment community, we are unabashed fans of sweet treats everything from ice cream to baked goods to high-end chocolates. Thats why weve done the *very difficult* research and compiled this list of the best local dessert spots. So, if it's your cheat day and you're looking for the best desserts in Kansas City, this article is for you

McLain's

If you are new to the Kansas City area, we are pleased to introduce you to McLain's Bakery and Market. This bakery has been serving Kansas City since 1945 and is a true local favorite. McLain's has a cafe-like setting, where guests are welcome to dine in for a quick bite. While the sandwiches and breakfast items are fantastic, McLain's is perhaps best known for its baked desserts. Their chocolate coconut sandwich cookies are a local legend, and a must-try for all new residents.

Rye

If you like midwestern comforts served with upscale sophistication, Rye is a must-visit. The barbecue and fried chicken are fantastic, but the dessert menu at Rye tends to steal the show.

Betty Rae's Ice Cream

Everyone knows ice cream is a delightful summertime treat. But what if an ice cream was so good that you'd still enjoy it in the wintertime? For the best ice cream anytime of the year, we recommend Betty Rae's Ice Cream.

Andre's Confiserie Suisse

Andre's Confiserie Suisse is probably best known for its chocolate boxes, available in retail stores. But since they are headquartered in Kansas City, they have a specialty dine-in cafe that you can't find anywhere else.

Blackhole Bakery

While Kansas City has plenty of fine, traditional bakeries, sometimes you just want something completely different. For unique baked goods, we recommend Blackhole Bakery.

The Russell

The Russell is one of Kansas City's most well-known restaurants, and for good reason. The eatery has a vibrant atmosphere with courses that are cooked to perfection over a wood fire. The entrees are well celebrated, but so are the desserts.
