3 Places in Cedar City to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Sometimes you don't need a full meal. You just need something sweet, delicious and completely unnecessary in the best possible way. Cedar City has plenty of places to satisfy a sugar craving, but these three local spots stand out for offering something a little more memorable than grabbing a candy bar at the gas station.

5.0Dessert shop

If you haven't tried Dippers yet, consider this your sign. This downtown Cedar City dessert shop specializes in frozen treats dipped in chocolate and loaded with toppings. You can choose from chocolate-covered frozen bananas, ice cream bars and other seasonal treats, then customize them with different toppings and drizzles. Visit Cedar City

The combination of cold, creamy ice cream, crunchy toppings and that chocolate shell makes Dippers especially fun when you're craving something more exciting than a standard scoop. It's also right downtown, making it an easy stop after shopping, exploring Main Street or catching an event.

Bakery

If your definition of dessert starts with the words "extra chocolate," Ganache-d deserves a spot on your Cedar City sweet-treat list. This family-owned shop specializes in gourmet brownies, brownie bombs, caramel apples and ice cream. The brownie bombs are particularly fun because they take the familiar brownie and turn it into a rich, bite-sized dessert that's somewhere between a brownie and a giant cake pop. Visit Cedar City

Even better, the shop is located downtown inside the historic Cedar Theater, so you can turn your dessert run into part of a whole evening out.

For people who believe pie deserves more attention, Pie Crumbs is the stop. This newer downtown Cedar City shop specializes in homemade pies, offering whole pies, personal pies and individual slices. The selection includes both fruit and cream pies along with rotating specialty flavors. Visit Cedar City

It's the kind of place that works whether you're looking for a single slice after dinner or need an entire pie for a family gathering. And because it's also located on Main Street, you can easily turn your sweet-tooth mission into a little downtown dessert crawl.

The best part? All three are downtown and close enough to make a mini dessert adventure out of it. Start with a chocolate-covered creation at Dippers, grab a brownie bomb from Ganache-d, then finish with a slice of pie from Pie Crumbs. Just remember, calories don't count when you're supporting local businesses. At least that's what we're going with.
