Top 5 Places to Get Dessert Near Williams Island

 Trade your post-pickleball green juice for a scoop of gelato or flaky pastry from the havens of sweet indulgences around Williams Island, Aventura's private playground of high-rise luxury and waterfront bliss.  

Step into the sweet side of life as you explore the highly revered dessert spots just minutes from Williams Island, a sprawling gated enclave with a balmy tropical backdrop and a traditional country club lifestyle between Miami and Fort Lauderdale on the Intracoastal Waterway. 

Perched on an 84-acre parcel kissed by water on every side, Williams Island is a peaceful gated escape that offers all the resort-style amenities of island living and an intimate collection of communities comprising 11 residential buildings, including Prive, a new modern skyscraper sitting on South Florida's last buildable island, sans the isolation! 

 Yes, you read right! 

While this serene neighborhood is designed to feel private and exclusive, Williams Island is connected to mainland Aventura via Island Boulevard, a guarded roadway serving as its only vehicular entrance and exit for residents, invited guests, and authorized personnel, allowing you to travel to the best of Aventura AND Miami with minutes to spare — top dessert spots and cafés included! 

 Whether it's a spontaneous mid-week treat or your go-to Sunday reward, you'll find no shortage of nearby desserts, from pistachio gelato and imported chocolate to oversized cookies and delicate tarts. 

So, at this point, desserts aren't just meant for cheat days but a perk of the Williams Island zip code. 

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

  Anita La Mamma del Gelato  

 19015 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura, FL 33180 

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

Let your spoon (and your strong intuitions) lead you to a dessert experience unlike any other at Anita La Mamma del Gelato, a handcrafted scoop shop with a sprinkle of Italian charm just 6 minutes from Williams Island.

Born from a mother-son duo and now beloved worldwide, Anita's brings old-world gelato techniques into the modern dessert scene — and Aventura is lucky enough to have an outpost.

Inside, you'll find more than 150 rotating flavors made fresh daily, from velvety pistachio cream to Cookieman — a wildly addictive mashup of cookies, hazelnut chocolate, and meringue.

Looking for something lighter? Anita's fruity sorbets, vegan scoops, and dairy-free options are just as rich and indulgent as the originals — no compromise necessary.

And yes, you can sample flavors to your heart's content before settling on that perfect combo.

By the time you leave, you'll have a favorite flavor AND a new weekend ritual.

  Lolita Dessert Club   

 17840 W Dixie Hwy, North Miami Beach, FL 33160 

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

Give your sweet tooth a wake-up call at Lolita Dessert Club, a dazzling pink paradise of treats and tea parties just 6 minutes from Williams Island.

A famous whimsical dessert café in North Miami Beach, Lolita Dessert Club is every dessert lover's fantasy — one with floral walls, pastel everything, and dainty sweets that look crafted by unicorns on a sugar high.

From sky-high crepes and golden-crusted crème brûlée to jumbo cookies and delicate bonbons, Lolita Dessert Club is a nonstop parade of indulgence.

And those glossy macarons and frosted donuts? They could double as jewelry — if you could resist eating them first.

But the magic doesn't stop at the display case.

Inside, there's an enchanting tea room ideal for pretend princess parties or real-life baby showers with a side of Earl Grey.

Even if sweets aren't your love language, Lolita's dreamy vibe is reason enough to swing by — but trust us, you'll stay for the sugar rush.

  Venchi

 ✅ Takeout - ✅ Delivery 

Calling all chocoholics: this is your captain speaking, and we've found your golden ticket to dessert heaven, just 8 minutes from Williams Island!

Welcome to Venchi, a luxury ChocoGelateria inside the bustling heart of Aventura Mall!

Born in Italy in 1878 and now stronger than ever, Venchi has perfected the art of turning cocoa and cream into edible joy with a cult following of dessert lovers around the globe. 

Here, you can expect rows of handcrafted chocolates, a "Chocoviar Wall" stacked with decadent bites, and a gelato counter that serves as a trove of frozen gems spanning from Silky Stracciatella and Pistachio to adventurous picks like Raspberry & Rose — plus vegan and gluten-free flavors that don't skimp on indulgence.

Feeling extra? Grab a warm crepe dripping in hazelnut spread, or sip a rich Italian hot chocolate for that dessert-in-a-cup experience.

Between the aroma, the artistry, and the absurdly good gelato, it's safe to say that Venchi isn't just a detour — it's THE destination.

  OH MY GOSH! Brigadeiros - Aventura Mall

The star of the show? Soft, fudgy chocolate balls rolled in toppings like rainbow sprinkles, pistachio crumbs, and everything in between.

And if one form of "delicious" isn't enough, brace yourself — brigadeiro magic lives on in OH MY GOSH! Brigadeiros' cakes, layered jars, creamy pints of ice cream, festive panettones, and more!

Basically, it's Brazil's answer to "How many ways can we make you smile?"

One visit and you'll understand why "OH MY GOSH" isn't just a name but your exact reaction with each mouthful!

  The Salty Donut - Aventura

 ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Takeout 

Watch your tastebuds rethink everything they know about donuts at The Salty Donut, a crave-worthy collision of sweet, salty, and swoon-worthy just 9 minutes from Williams Island.

This Aventura newcomer isn't playing it safe but turning donuts into edible art with sky-high creativity and a dough recipe that takes a full day to perfect.

And we're not just talking about any recipe — Salty Donut's 24-hour brioche base delivers that pillowy, buttery texture dreams are made of, dressed up in wild flavors you never saw coming, including fan favorites like Maple Bacon, Brown Butter + Salt, and the iconic Guava + Cheese, and seasonal specials like Horchata and Tiramisu to keep the menu as exciting as the first bite.

Pair it with one of their velvety lattes or a Salty Caramel Cold Brew, and your palate will thank you for the field trip.

Pro tip: show up early — the best ones disappear before you can say, "One more, please."
