Haute Top 5: Best Desserts in Atlanta in 2017

This neighborhood Virginia-Highland restaurant has a dessert menu that will sweep you off your feet. The Tollhouse Pie made with dark & white chocolate, walnuts, chocolate crust and vanilla ice cream is the best. Think all the makings of a chocolate chip cookie rolled and magically concocted into pie form. Year after year, this continues to be a favorite for diners.

This European-style coffee house and restaurant is known for its vast selection of desserts. Next time you are out late and find yourself needing a dessert night cap, head to Cafe Intermezzo and choose from one of their almost 50 varieties of specialty cheesecakes. The most popular (and for good reason) is the Orea Cheesecake.

Satisfy your sweet cravings with a delectable selection of chocolate confections at this iconic neighborhood bakery and market. Known for it's made-from-scratch desserts, we recommend the Midnight Cake, which is three layers of chocolate buttermilk cake filled with a silky, rich, white chocolate mousse. Or, the Chocolate Louise, the Shokolina, the Macaroons. All of these and more are freshly made each day and available to grab-and-go. Brilliant.

There are barely words to describe the pure bliss that comes from each and every savory bite of the creative selection of donuts from Sublime Doughnuts. The A-Town one, which is essentially the Atlanta version of Boston Cream, and the fresh Strawberry n' Cream donut which is an original-style donut stuffed with fresh strawberries and vanilla cream cheese are both showstoppers.

This Northern Italian steakhouse does pretty much everything right but be sure to save room for the desserts. They are almost worth foregoing the pre-dinner bread. Our fave is the Warm Chocolate Cake with Amareno Cherries and Vanilla Gelato. Delish
