★★★★★ 5.0 Ed Stapleton Jr. · Jan 2026

Was in the mood for some dessert on a Sunday afternoon and came across Afters Dessert Bar and I’m glad I did. It was excellent. The owner was great and his dog who’s there on the weekends was fun to play with. Sat there for 30 minutes watching a football game while drinking coffee and eating some dessert. My favorite bite was definite the salted caramel chocolates 🤤

★★★★★ 5.0 Morgan McCain · Mar 2026

Highly recommend the cookies, they aren’t too sweet and have good depth of flavor! I got 2 of each in the 1/2 dozen. The cookies are relatively smaller but perfect size for a sweet treat after a full dinner. The owner also has a very cute dog.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Arthur Zak · Jan 2026

Solid desserts, but I was overall not particularly impressed with the offerings here. I came for after dinner treats. It was a bit confusing walking in - there are multiple places that two different menus are. It was visually not appealing or easy to grasp. It is not great when you have to ask what they have and where things are in a bakery. The cornmeal pound cake was pleasant, the cookie cakes were nice, as were the cookies, but for me personally, they weren't something I'd come back for to eat again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Louise Lindegaard · Dec 2025

We bought a couple deserts for some friends we were having over and each one blew us away! Really high quality, absolutely delicious! Special shoutout to the cheesecake, cinnamon bun and cookie bites and Dap the dog! Highly recommend if you are hosting or just looking for a delicious sweet treat!

Popped in at the right time yesterday. Got a scone, cookies and got to try a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was the perfect texture! Prices were perfect for size and quality.
