Small-batch creamery and donuttery (yep, that’s a thing!) Scream’n Nuts understands that two delicious desserts make one even yummier treat. How do they accomplish this? A donut cone. Their Signature Donut Ice Cream Cone—the ultimate ice cream vessel—is made from a yeast-raised donut batter with caramelized sugar on the outside and a soft, decadent texture on the inside. As if that weren’t genius enough, you’ll also find a roster of fascinating ice cream flavors like lavender violet, matcha green tea with mochi, and the wildly Insta-worthy charcoal ice cream.

With more desserts than you can imagine, you’ll find anything and everything you could dream of to beat that sugar craving at Alpine Bakery & Trattoria. Every dessert is crafted with high quality ingredients and love. You’ll understand what the hype is all about when you savor a slice of the Coconut Cream Cake, Million Dollar Cake or the Death by Chocolate. Opt for lighter selections with a Raspberry Dark Chocolate Torte or a yummy Fresh Fruit & Custard pie. As if that’s not enough, Alpine offers an extensive selection of pastries ranging from cannoli’s to apple strudel.
Collet French Pastry & Café

Café Intermezzo
Boasting classic European café vibes, Café Intermezzo is the perfect place to indulge. Let the scent of fresh-brewed coffee and housemade baked goods lead you inside, and stay for the Cannoli Cheesecake, a decadent delight starring ricotta filling infused with orange flavor and layered with mini chocolate chips throughout. Add a velvety smooth Hot Chocolate DeLuxe or a Bailey’s Cappuccino (for the adults) to round out your dreamy dessert experience.
Le Macaron Alpharetta
Step into North Point Mall or visit their first-of-its-kind outdoor mobile kiosk in front of Regal Cinemas at Avalon and find fabulous beautiful macarons and French gelato at Le Macaron.
