Places to Go When It's Sugar, Fat and Dairy (In That Order) That You Crave

Even better than ice cream. Go for the concrete to blend in your favorite candies. Brownie sundae is awesome with homemade brownie. Even better: caramel fudge nut brownie chip (order CFNBC) concrete. NOT a low-cal food.

I like the redo - more rustic-urban, nice takeout (and gift!) options with a separate coffee/chocolate bar and packaged hot cocoa to go. Burger's still one of the best with local Heartland Beef (short rib's in the mix). Try the "affogato" with dark hot chocolate instead of espresso to drink dessert.

The peanut butter cup cupcakes are ridiculous. In a good way. If you're on a healthier kick, try the vegan-friendly options - they're surprisingly not dried out.

Awesome peanut butter fro yo and chocolate Heath Italian ice for "healthier" days, Bobtail ice cream and waffle cones for splurge days.

The brown sugar praline ones remind me of the official treat of New Orleans. Milk chocolate cupcakes with extra sprinkles taste like a traditional French mousse with crunchy chips.

Nothing beats the rich cookies and cream ice cream here - ask for whipped cream for a chocolate filled pirouette because - why not? A bright cherry place to sit and eat your treat or ask for a to-go lid.

The richest, creamiest, most addicting, best ever piece of mocha-chocolate chip cake I've ever had in my life. Perfect taste, perfect texture. There's a reason this bakery's been around for years.

Love the chocolate croissants (ask for them warned) and strong Intelligensia cappuccinos, plus the hazelnut macaroons, brownie-meets-Madeline financiers and traditional bechamel-topped croque monsieur.
