When it comes to desserts, brownies seem to be almost universally loved. They're easy enough to make at home, but if you want high-quality brownies made with real butter, there's one place that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. And after you visit, no other brownies will do.

There's nothing quite like a brownie for a quick pick-me-up or an extra-sweet gift. Put away those boxed mixes and get your brownie fix in Omaha at the Brownie Bar.

The concept for the unique brownies-only bakery came after the owners noticed that there were plenty of bakeries offering cupcakes, donuts, and cookies, but none that featured brownies as the main event.

The first Brownie Bar opened in late 2019 on the edge of Omaha's Old Market.

The concept is brilliant in its simplicity. Choose your brownie - traditional, blondie, or dark chocolate - and then customize it with toppings.

Toppings include several flavors of frosting, fresh whipped cream, chopped nuts, dulce de leche, fudge sauce, and strawberry and raspberry compote. If you're a fan of austere desserts, you can also opt to get your brownie "naked."

If you're having trouble deciding on toppings (or if you just want an excuse to eat a little of everything on the menu), you can order a brownie flight.

That's one of each type of brownie and a selection of frosting and sauces. Play with different flavor combinations to come up with your very own signature creation.

The Brownie Bar also offers ice cream from Omaha's legendary Ted & Wally's. Top your treat with a scoop of dairy sweetness and you'll be well on your way to brownie bliss.

This beautiful invention is Brownie Bar's version of strawberry shortcake: a blondie topped with fresh whipped cream and strawberry compote. Every brownie and topping is made right there in the store, so you can rest assured that you're getting fresh, quality yum-yums.

You'll be the hero of the party if you walk in carrying a party pack of Brownie Bar brownies including a selection of toppings. Let everyone assemble their own delightful treats and compare notes!

If you're in Omaha but not up for the trek to the Old Market, a second location opened in Rockbrook in 2022. The owners are hoping to expand to other states in the future.

Come try out these sweet treats now so when Brownie Bars take over the country, you can smugly say that you loved them before they were famous.

No matter how you like your brownie, you're sure to find just what you want at this delightfully different dessert destination.

The menu is the same at both the Old Market and Rockbrook locations. You can order pick-up or delivery on Brownie Bar's website and keep up with news and specials on its Facebook page. So tell us: what's your favorite brownie flavor combo?
