Desserts and More

Restaurants can be broken down into not only different restaurant types but also food types as well. Some examples of these may be – Asian, bakeries, barbecue, coffeehouses, desserts and more, family style, Italian or pizza, Mexican, sandwiches or seafood.

This page deals specifically with the dessert category which can include a variety of things. Dessert shops have been around for centuries, but there seems to be an influx in the amount of dessert focused restaurants that are springing up around the country. Traditionally we have seen doughnut and ice cream shops but there seem to be more specialty shops opening up that focus on our sweet tooth.
