Nothing makes a day special like an indulgent sweet treat, whether it’s hand-crafted chocolates, painstakingly decorated cakes or hot, fresh doughnuts. Lexington’s bakeries, cafes and shops offer generations of baking talent and unheard of flavors.
Hit up Chocolate Holler or Crank and Boom Ice Cream for Instagram-worthy ice cream and shakes. Try long-standing classic doughnut shops like Donut Days for a dose of history. Broaden your palate with a Mexican treat from Panaderia Aquascalientes, a French macaron from La Petit Delicat or Turkish delight and Dubai chocolate from Al Taj Bakery.
