The complementary sweet nectar of bovine from Straus Family Creamery enriches the café's creations, and delectable confections from Satura Cakes and Snake & Butterfly Chocolates promise to please any post- or pre-coffee palate.

Culture Organic Frozen Yogurt is a healthier way to sate a sweet cheek. The freshly prepared concoctions are enhanced by active cultures and complemented by toppings such as seasonal organic fruit. Culture's menu features a bevy of sweet foundations, including original, vanilla accents, signature chocolate, and seasonal blends. Frozen yogurts start at $3.99 for a small before scintillating toppings (up to $1.29) are added. Top off any sweet structure with flavors such as coconut-crunch granola, plums, mangoes, dried raspberries, chocolate-chip cookies, brownie chunks, dried banana, seasonal specific offerings, and more. The spoon-averted can enjoy frozen Yo'Wiches, yogurt blanketed between freshly baked cookies ($4.49), or a mango Fro Yo Shake, which brings bursting flavor to a highly drinkable package ($5.99).

Every Sugar Butter Flour cake is hand-crafted using the most decadent flavors, with no artificial ingredients or intelligence added. Using the finest liquors and fruits, head pastry chef Irit Ishai combines unparalleled dedication with more than 10 years of cake-artistry experience when crafting her creative confections. The smorgasbord of decadence includes cake flavors ranging from classics like vanilla and chocolate to unique tastes such as banana and hummingbird (banana, pineapple, and pecan). Cakes can be further customized by adding a filling choice such as mocha butter cream or white-chocolate ganache, or punched up with a fruity preserve such as raspberry or apricot. Custom cake prices vary depending on size and complexity, but many are available for about $80. The skilled staff is happy to architect even the zaniest cake concept, whether sculpted in three dimensions or built into a more traditional tiered cake.

Chill out on the open-air patio while indulging in a smooth cup or cone of all-natural, hand-crafted sorbetto, frozen yogurt, or gelato at Gelato Classico. Borne out of a 30-year tradition, the flavor menu boasts a creative lineup of more than 40 tastes ranging from a scoop of strawberry cheesecake to the nut-rich spumoni, both of which nestle nicely in the nooks of a waffle cone ($3.55). Turn up the flavor and stay light with a pleasant cup of lemon sorbetto that refreshes faster than an analog clock (regular, $4.25) or a kids cone of tart frozen yogurt ($2). When in Campbell, do as the Roman's don't do by blowing bubbles in your coffee ($1.45) or by rebelliously requesting a 12-ounce caffe latte ($2.65) prior to dessert.
