Folks rave about the coconut cake that's served up at Nashville's farm-to-fork restaurant, Adele's. The airy space was once a tire shop, and it's now a tastefully designed eatery with a contemporary, light-filled edge. Plus, the patio seating and full bar makes it easy to show up just for dessert! The coconut cake itself boasts three layers of decadent cake soaked in coconut milk, infused with coconut extract and topped with reduced coconut milk icing. It's a true Southern favorite, with a unique twist.


Mane & Rye has made a name for itself recently for its stunning interior design and creative cocktail program, but it's their boozy milkshakes that really make for an impressive twist. Located inside the Hutton Hotel, the all day breakfast menu is perhaps the first sign of Mane & Rye's focus on what the people want, but those milkshakes. Wow. Perfectly sweet with a punch of the good stuff, you can add a tipsy shake to your supper special for a mere $5 after 5 p.m.


Etch is a globally-inspired eatery located right in the heart of Nashville's downtown. Their specials change constantly, which means your sweet tooth better be up to the decadent challenge, but most recently the chocolate pretzel mousse caught the eye - and taste buds - of the city. Beautifully presented and perfectly sweet, it makes for a dreamy way to top off your meal.


Biscuit Love started out as a food truck and expanded into a biscuit behemoth once the public figured out how truly indulgent their carb-y menu really was. The biscuit sandwiches are perfect for folks looking for a savory bite, but the bonuts are truly next level. Basically cinnamon-sugar donuts, these biscuit-dough-based bites are served with lemon mascarpone and served over blueberry compote. One order comes with five (!!!) bites of heaven, so be ready to share.


Josephine is located on Nashville's famed 12th Avenue South strip, and their homey interior and seasonally-inspired eats are well worth an indulgence. Their apple cobbler is served with house made vanilla ice cream, and it's a steamy-sweet addition to their wintertime menu you simply have to snag.


Chef's Market is located a hot second outside of the city in Goodlettsville, but it's got a pastry case that's truly out of this world. Cakes are available as a whole or by the slice, and we can't recommend their seasonally-inspired sweets more. Come in for a last-minute indulgence, or perhaps order a specialty cake for your own event. Chef's Market is a sleeper hit you can't afford to miss!


Every meal deserves a dessert, and Pemrose delivers when it comes to breakfast pastries. Come for their weekend brunch buffet and load up on cinnamon rolls and croissants, because every breakfast needs something sweet. Normally known for its seafood menu, Pemrose knows how to serve up a mean breakfast menu.
