M y family loves to eat and explore, and as such, we’ve spent many hours in search of the best desserts in OKC. From creative ice cream flavors to decadent cakes and homemade pies to one-of-a-kind treats at local OKC bakeries, I don’t think we’ve met a sweet we didn’t enjoy. Whether we’re indulging in a sweet afternoon treat or celebrating a special occasion, these locally owned dessert restaurants have become our go-to destinations. Check out my family’s five favorite dessert spots in OKC, each offering something unique to satisfy every sweet tooth!
Pie Junkie I’m happy to stop by this Plaza District favorite anytime for a slice of pie, but I especially love it when my family celebrates my December birthday with their seasonal holiday mint pie. The pie features an Oreo crust layered with mint ganache, chocolate pastry cream, fresh mint whipped cream and Andes
mint pieces, and it’s only available in December. When we’re picking up slices other times of year, our favorite flavors are Peanut Butter Chocolate and Drunken Turtle. This tiny OKC bakery produces more than 20,000 scrumptious pies annually and sells by the slice or whole pie. They also offer special orders, especially during the holidays. Pro tip: Follow them on social media so you’ll know when orders open! Roxy’s Ice Cream Social With four locations and a menu that includes handcrafted ice cream, ice cream floats and cookie sandwiches, Roxy’s has something for everyone. When you step inside, expect a true ice cream parlor feel, with bright yellow barstools along a counter, perfect for a friends or family date. Please give me a moment to wax poetic about their Cookies & Cream ice cream (a flavor I had no use for until I enjoyed it at Roxy’s): the small-batch vanilla ice cream is luscious, and it’s stuffed with big pieces of homemade chocolate chip and chocolate sandwich cookies. And that makes my personal favorite order at Roxy’s the Cookie Monster ice cream sandwich (two chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Cookies & Cream ice cream). My kids love their root beer and Dreamsicle floats, which feature their specialty-made sodas.
