Last Resort- Most people know Last Resort for their delicious and unique southern style entrees. What most people do not know about Last Resort is their fantastic selection of cakes and cheesecakes. Located near the end of Clayton Street, Last Resort offers some exceptional cheesecakes such as their Baileys Irish cheesecake, chocolate almond, Butterfinger, classic New York and blueberry. Just a sample of some of the cakes that Last Resort has to offer are tiramisu, red velvet, caramel, coconut, carrot, Italian cream and mocha. All of the cheesecakes and cakes are homemade and are entirely too good to pass up. My personal favorite is the Butterfinger cheesecake which has tiny little bits of a Butterfinger candy bar in it, and the Blueberry cheesecake which is needless to say amazing.

Yoguri- This little oasis of dessert debuted onto the Athens scene right as the temperature started to rise, which has attributed to its huge success. Yoguri sells frozen yogurt with four flavors to choose from: original, chocolate, mango and pomegranate. If the yogurt alone does not satisfy your taste buds you can have them put toppings on the yogurt as well. The type of toppings range fruits, chocolate chips, almonds and even fruity pebbles cereal.

Marble Slab- If you’re looking for a great place to find some delicious ice cream then marble slab is the place to go. Located in Five Points of Athens, Marble Slab is an ice cream parlor that not only serves great tasting ice cream but an abundant amount of toppings as well. It’s a great place to get a refreshing dessert on a hot southern afternoon.

Last Resorts serves a wide variety of delicious desserts including homemade cheesecake.

Ben and Jerry’s- Ben and Jerry’s gets a spot on the top list because of their undying commitment to having some of the best tasting flavors of ice cream around. Ben and Jerry’s is located in the center of downtown on College Avenue across the street from the arches. Unlike other ice cream chains that have come and gone in Athens, Ben and Jerry’s has been able to maintain its customers with their fantastic employees and great tasting ice cream that you can get either in scoops or in a hand-spun milkshake.

Suno Dessert-Has only been open for a month and is already making a scene as one of the best places to find an unusual dessert. Suno serves shaved ice cream that comes in many different flavors such as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Suno also offers many toppings for you to choose from such as fruits and chocolate chips. Suno Dessert is located at the end of Broad Street right next to the five way intersection.
