Bao's Pastry is my kind of bakery: You walk in, and you're automatically overwhelmed by the…read morechoices. There are just so many good things in the display case! It seriously took me about 10 to decide on a dessert. In the end, I got a slice of strawberry cheesecake. I took it to go, knowing that I would eat it in my car. (The best place to eat any food.) I chose cheesecake, because in the end, cheesecake is the illest of the desserts. You can't go wrong with a silky smooth slice o' cake o' cheese. And I wasn't wrong! The cheesecake at Bao's is creamy, yet a little pleasantly gelatinous from the strawberry topping. It was so rich that I couldn't eat it all in my car, so I took it to go to enjoy back at my hotel. Some of the other things I was considering getting at Bao's included the mini tarts, tiramisu cup, raspberry opera cake, turnovers, passionfruit cake and many others. They also have lots of macarons, but I'm not a macaron lady! Try as I might, I do not like macarons, but if you like macarons, then Bao's is the place to find macarons. Mostly, this is a to-go joint, but there are a couple of tables on the outdoor patio, and a table or two inside. When I visited, I only saw people pop in and get their goodies and pop back out.

The service was cordial although the store is very small. They have a wide variety of baked goods and I might visit in the future. We ended up with a couple of raspberry beignets and a 12 count variety box of macarons @ 12 for $25. My favorite was the pistachio.

It is always very colorful inside the shop and they do have seating options. Sometimes the amount of options can be overwhelming so make sure you take your time to review all of the options before ordering. They also have cookies in addition to cupcakes and you can order cakes ahead of time. I recommend you go earlier as they don't replace the flavors that sell out for the day.

Designer Desserts really knows how to deliver an indulgent treat! We stopped by and couldn't resist…read morethe mini cherry cheesecake--just look at it! From the buttery graham cracker crust to the rich, creamy filling and that bright cherry on top, every bite was a sweet little moment of joy. The flavor was spot on--sweet but not overly sugary, and the texture was perfectly smooth. Presentation is a big win here too. The dessert came tucked into a cute little box that made it feel like opening a gift. You can tell there's real thought put into how they serve their treats. The only reason this isn't a full 5 stars? The wait was just a bit longer than expected, and we would've loved more variety available at the time we visited. But honestly, that cheesecake alone was worth it. Whether you're strolling downtown or just craving something sweet, Designer Desserts is a fun and flavorful stop worth it
