Top Sweet Spots in the City
July 17, 2010 in Insider Tips by Katie Reyes
A long day strolling along the boardwalk or basking in the sun on the beach might make you crave a refreshing, tasty treat. Here is a list, in no particular order, of some of the best spots to satisfy your sweet tooth while you're in Atlantic City.
In the Pier Shops at Caesars, Buddakan makes a mean vanilla custard. Take a break from the simple ice cream cone with caramelized crust, lemon grass poached mangos and coconut gelee. Each bite will make your mouth water even more.
Visit Johnny's Café in Margate for an extensive list of desserts. Homemade key lime pie, cheesecake, and tiramisu are all promising options. Try Johnny's brownie obsession complete with homemade coffee ice cream and caramel sauce for a tasty twist to the traditional brownie dessert. Any way you go will cost you only $7, not a bad trade off for a satisfying, sweet, sultry treat.
If you have a more simple taste when it comes to dessert, you can keep with tradition on the boardwalk by visiting Kohr Bros. for delicious frozen custard. Summer wouldn't be the same without Kohr's vanilla custard slowly melting down the side of your hand as you shuffle alongside the beach.
In Ventnor, Mento's Ice-Cream and Water Ice guarantees to cool you down. Order soft-served ice cream, flavored ice, or both! Choose from a long list of flavors and escape the heat with an icy treat.
If you're into the cold and hot combination in desserts, be sure to order the baked Alaska at Chelsea Prime in the Chelsea Hotel. With chocolate and vanilla ice cream, raspberry sorbet and pistachio chiffon, the baked Alaska will cool your body and warm your heart with every spoonful.
These are only a few of the favorite stops in Atlantic City where you can satisfy your sweet tooth. Sugar-lovers anywhere can find unique desserts in the city that are bound to become new favorites.
