Chase that sugar rush with a well-deserved treat (or five) at the most irresistible dessert spots around Richmond Heights, a historic suburb once a sanctuary for African American veterans returning from World War II.

Celebrate life's little joys, one scoop or slice at a time, as you discover the sweet side of Richmond Heights, a promise of legacy, pride, and resilience.

Blending simplicity and nostalgia in the heart of South Dade, Richmond Heights stands as a proud neighborhood of history, triumph, and transformation, offering residents modest mid-century homes surrounded by tree-lined streets, parks, and the hum of local life nearby.

Yes, you read right—this serene yet spirited community sits close enough to all the flavor and fun South Miami has to offer.

And boy, does Richmond Heights have a few sweet surprises up its sleeve — especially when it comes to dessert!

From flaky French pastries to gooey cookies, handcrafted confections, and ice cream that melts faster than your self-control, there's no shortage of spots ready to tempt you within minutes of home.

Here are the top 5 dessert places you can try while you're here (in no particular order).

Whip'n Dip Ice Cream Shoppe Of Palmetto Bay

14475 S Dixie Hwy, Palmetto Bay, FL 33176

✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

Old-school never goes out of style — and neither does a perfectly swirled scoop from Whip'n Dip Ice Cream Shop, a Palmetto Bay classic that offers happiness in a cone, just 6 minutes from Richmond Heights.

Family-owned and proudly retro, this local gem has been serving all things cool (and cold) since the '80s, led by their selection of rich, homemade ice cream that tastes like summer nostalgia in every spoonful. 

Here, you'll find all the staple flavors — creamy vanilla, deep chocolate, strawberry swirls, along with rotating specials to keep regulars guessing what's next.

They also offer hot fudge sundaes layered with whipped cream and cherries on top, hand-dipped cones, and thick milkshakes that hit that sweet spot between comfort and tradition.

There's something timeless about watching your ice cream melt a little faster than you can eat it — and at Whip'n Dip, you can relive that moment, over and over again.

French Bakery(Delices de France)

14453 S Dixie Hwy, Miami, FL 33176

✅ Takeout - ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining

Pastries that whisper "Bonjour!" to your sweet tooth? You'll find that and more at French Bakery(Delices de France), just a 7-minute drive from Richmond Heights.

From the moment you walk into French Bakery, you'll find glass cases gleaming with flaky croissants, glossy fruit tarts, and custard-filled confections that take pastry lovers and homesick French expats home (or is it the other way around?). 

Here, every bite is genuine, buttery, delicate, and proudly handmade by experienced bakers, which you'll taste to be true as soon as you try their almond croissant, crowned with toasted nuts and just the proper dose of sweetness, and the Napoleon, which layers puff pastry and cream so expertly you won't be able to resist, even if it ruins your diet entirely.

Not here for dessert? Grab a savory quiche Lorraine or a baguette sandwich, preferably paired with a strong cup of café au lait to make it a complete experience.

Flaky, golden, and never pretentious, this little slice of buttery goodness is a plane ticket to France you don't have to book.

Milky Ways Cereal Bar

17013 S Dixie Hwy, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157

✅ Dine-in - ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery 

Who says you can do adulting while diving spoon-first into a colorful chaos of sweetness when there's Milky Ways Cereal Bar, where dessert doesn't just break the rules — it throws them out the window, just 7 minutes from Richmond Heights.

Here, the line between breakfast and dessert disappears in a swirl of ice cream, milkshakes, and cereal-crusted creations inspired by a sugar lover's daydream. 

At Milky Ways Cereal Bar, every order is a build-your-own adventure — pick your scoop, layer your cereal, drizzle your sauce, and finish it off with a no-regrets attitude.

Think Fruity Pebbles-topped shakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cones, and cookies-and-cream bowls swimming in candy bits, all made to order and unapologetically over the top.

Add all that to Milky Ways Cereal Bar's nostalgic, colorful, and energetic vibe, and you'll be leaving with wide-eyed kids, adults transformed into kids again, and hands doused in sprinkles, signaling pure, sugar-coated freedom.

Crumbl - Pinecrest

✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Pick-Up

What started as a cookie shop has become a weekly ritual — and if you haven't joined the pink-box pilgrimage yet, Crumbl Pinecrest is just 8 minutes from Richmond Heights.

Far from your average bake sale, Crumble boasts thick, glossy, and unapologetically indulgent cookies, baked in rotating flavors that change every week and keep sweet-tooths guessing (and posting). 

The hype? Absolutely deserved.

One week might take you into Key Lime Pie territory with a graham cracker crunch, while the next delivers a Chocolate Lava masterpiece oozing from the center. 

Meanwhile, those staples — the warm, melty Milk Chocolate Chip and that signature Chilled Sugar Cookie with its pink swirl of frosting — are always there to ground your sugar rush.

At Crumbl, each cookie is a statement, dessert, and obsession—and boy, are they camera-ready!

So, go ahead — grab a pink box, cue up your taste-test playlist, and discover why these cookies broke the internet.
