If you’re looking for dessert at The Domain and in the area, you have options! This post shares a variety of ice cream, baked goods, and more to satisfy your sweet tooth.
The Domain is a bustling entertainment area in North Austin with an abundance of restaurants. If you’re shopping and need a sweet treat or if you’re in the area and want to stop for dessert, there are plenty of spots to choose from. Here’s a list of my top 11 recommendations.
Bakery Lorraine
This counter-service restaurant open for breakfast and lunch is known for its baked goods. Walk in and you’ll see a case full of pastries, cookies, cakes, tarts, and more. Expect a wait around weekend brunch time. You can’t go wrong with a baked good like a cinnamon roll or kouign amann. There are also macarons of various flavors, their signature fruit tart, and several cake flavors.

Beard Papa’s
Originating as a small bakery in Osaka, Japan in 1999, Beard Papa’s has since grown to over 475 locations around the world. This dessert shop is known for its cream puff. When you visit, you’ll be able to choose your shell flavor and your filling flavor. I like their honey butter shell with vanilla filling.

Churro Co Bakery
This local spot started as a food truck and now you can find churros and funnel cake at this brick-and-mortar bakery. You’ll know you’re there when you walk in and everything is pink! Choose from a number of toppings like chocolate sauce and whipped cream for your churros or there are a few funnel cake flavors like the Xtraberry Funnel Cake with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream
A favorite and popular national ice cream brand, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream has several shops in Austin and their pints can be found in grocery stores. When you visit the Domain location, you’ll be able to pick your favorite signature scoop, like my favorite Brown Butter Almond Brittle, or try a seasonal flavor. Pints are also available for purchase.

Lumi’s Crepes

Pressed Juicery
If you’re looking for a cold, refreshing treat, stop into Pressed Juicery. While their bottled juices are ready to grab, they also offer non-dairy soft serve and smoothies. The tropical soft serve is made with pineapple and banana purees, coconut milk, and pea protein. You can choose toppings like fresh fruit, granola, or chocolate chips.

Shake Shack
If you’re looking for milkshakes, Shake Shack is a place you should try. This counter-service fast food chain is known for its juicy burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and shakes. They feature a special shake flavor every month, but they always have the classics – vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and cookies and cream. If you’re not feeling a shake, try their frozen custard.

Sprinkles
This is the spot for cupcake lovers! They typically have 24+ flavors available, including seasonal specials. Some of their best-selling flavors are sprinkle, red velvet, and strawberry. Another perk about this location – their cupcake ATM is available 24/7!

If you’re looking to dine in and enjoy dessert, take a seat at Sweet Paris. Here they have entrees like salads, sandwiches, and savory crepes as well as sweet crepes, waffles, and milkshakes.
