Owned by the same duo that operates Village Idiot Pizza, Yumilicious fills patrons up with a heaping helping of simultaneously palate-percolating and low-guilt frozen yogurt. Start by building a base from more than 40 flavors (14 of which are offered on any given day), including blueberry cheesecake, pomegranate, mango, cake batter, lychee, green tea, and acai berry. Next, top your tasty treat with an avalanche of fresh fruits such as cantaloupe and banana, as well as dry toppings such as almonds, Fruity Pebbles, Nilla Wafers, gummy bears, and live baby bears. Customers with dietary restrictions can likewise douse their own sweaty tongues in one of Yumilicious’s no-sugar-added flavors. Yogurt concoctions are self-serve and priced by weight ($0.45 per ounce).
Arsena's Sweets was named in honor of Arsena Bradley-English, who had a penchant for crafting delectable desserts. Her granddaughter Dionne carries on her legacy by baking made-from-scratch treats using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Her crafts include specialty cakes, gourmet cupcakes, and custom cakes decorated with fondant or sculpted into whimsical shapes. Dionne also caters events with customized dessert tables.
When she granted herself a doctorate in baking and opened the doors to The Cake Professor, a burgeoning cake designer transformed desserts from a passion into a successful career. Her business has since brought her closer to achieving her lifetime goal "to help others reach their dreams," which others learn about when reading her story.
The Cake Professor brings that same dedication to her desserts, whether baking exquisite cakes and cupcake batches for weddings, or sharing her talents with others during baking classes. She continues to call upon her experience in accounting, designing more than 12 flavors of cupcakes and more than 17 fillings to mesmerize even the most determined tax collectors.
Swirl 5 Points churns out nine rotating flavors of frozen yogurt, their tangy peaks colorful under slices of fresh fruit, gobs of cookie dough, and pyramids made out of Sour Patch Kids. In addition to classic vanilla and chocolate, the menu includes less-common but still crowd-pleasing flavors such as cake batter and pistachio. Guests can also munch on crepes and sip bubble tea inside the pristine, white parlor or enjoy an invigorating combination of frozen treats and fresh air outside on the patio.
Bruster's stimulates salivation with its brain-freezingly broad menu of ice-cream flavors served alongside the classic Coney Island appeal of Nathan's Famous hot dogs. The classic New York hot dog traps an all-beef cylinder and its toppings in a fluffy, edible maximum-security prison ($2.99), strong enough to contain both chili and cheese at once ($3.69). Bacon-ranch krinkle-cut fries ($3.69) and corn-dog nuggets ($2.99 for six) supply ample ammunition for tongue target practice. To prevent oral overheating, visitors can apply a waffle cone stacked with any of Bruster's rotating ice-cream flavors, such as white-raspberry truffle or turtle cheesecake ($3.99). Sundaes ($4.29), fudge-covered banana splits ($5.59), and shakes ($4.29) provide more elaborate accouterments to the chilly treats.
