Sweets and Treats
Save room for dessert! Southerners love a good old fashioned sweet treat to cap off a great meal or to celebrate an occasion … or a Tuesday evening! Columbia is home to several bakeries that have everything you need to make coworkers happy in the morning, including coffee to-go, to more specialized affairs. Ally & Eloise on Devine Street has confections for days, including their very own signature cakes, cupcakes and macroons. Dulce, located in The Vista specializes in just that, cranking out our favorite treats daily from croissants to cookies to gluten free cupcakes, cake and macaroons.
Follow the locals to also like to Morelia Paletas, serving up high quality, natural gourmet ice cream popsicles. You'd be remiss not to try the Belgian Chocolate, Strawberry sorbet or Dubai Chocolate all dipped in your favorite sauce and topped with candy, nuts or sprinkles. Pro Tip: Morelia is allergen friendly and will ensure safe consumption by grabbing a sealed paleta. Just ask!
Sweet Cream Company, on Main Street has been featured nationally for their innovative ice cream flavors that feature fresh, local ingredients from nearby farms. Blackberry kale, anyone? Maybe lavender honey?
