"Staring down the menu at Dolce Bacio will make you feel like you’re in a small Italian coffee shop, with the smell of fresh cream in the air and Nessun Dorma playing softly in the background. That is, until you realize you’re in a food truck park in East Austin and it’s 110 degrees out. The menu consists mostly of gelato and sorbet - all made in-house - but they also have tiramisu made with fresh mascarpone cheese, cannoli, and affogatos."

"Dolce Bacio was opened one year ago by an Italian couple newly planted in Texas. Prior to leaving Italy, Francesca and Dante trained at several top gelato schools, where they learned to make high quality products from scratch. “Our goal here is to offer the same quality and tradition you find in Italy, crossed with local flavors,” Francesca explained with gusto."

"This Japanese-inspired bakery offers character macarons featuring cute cultural obsessions from anime creatures to panda bears. The Japanese cheesecake is a must-try as is the Tayaki sundae. The ice cream flavors change weekly and the macarons come in a huge variety of flavors including London Fog tea, matcha, Mexican vanilla, and fruity pebbles."

"Located in East Austin sits a unique spot for Tex-Asian sweets. One of their most popular baked goods to try: jiggly Japanese cheesecake (basically a combination between cheesecake, pound cake, and flan textures). They also offer cute macarons shaped and decorated as characters and taiyaki hot pockets (fish-shaped waffle pockets)."

"I’m very excited about more Asian desserts being available in Austin. OMG Squee offers a decadent Japanese cheesecake in classic or ube flavor (pictured below is the swirl flavor). It’s similar to a cheesecake you might be more familiar with but less dense and more fluffy, hence why it’s called a cotton souffle cheesecake."

"The over 60 varieties remain as consistent as the freshness of the products, and although the plain glazed is by far the best seller, everyone seems to have their favorites. – shipleydonuts.com"

"One of the newest shops on the scene, Venezia features real Italian gelato from Italian owners Alice and Nicola Morella. Linger over one of the rotating flavors, such as green apple or toasty pecan, with a coffee or espresso. Or grab a Mr. Ring—that’s a gelato “doughnut” on a stick—to go, along with an imported specialty, such as balsamic vinegar or Amarena cherries."
