Tucked away in Sugarhouse is a true hidden gem — Carol’s Pastry Shop. This shop opened in 1948 and still offers baked goods that are unforgettable.

Spilled Milk is not your average ice cream shop. This unique stop on our dessert trail specializes in soft-serve ice cream that is infused with your favorite cereal.

Our dessert trail through Utah wouldn’t be complete without pie. Stop into Flake Pie Co., a charming bakery that features personal pies. All pies are made fresh and with high-quality ingredients. Plus, the items on the menu have the most fun and clever names, adding to the excitement of your visit. While you can always try a pie that is sweet, we highly recommend trying one of the savory pies on the menu.
