We all have looked at the dessert menu and wondered "What do I order?" The menu varies from apple pies to creme brûlée and, when we order, we hope that our dessert can satisfy our sweet tooth and have us begging for more. In recent years, many restaurants have perfected some of their signature desserts and have become a "Foodie Destination." When I asked myself what desserts are the best, I went straight to Facebook to the "Reno Foodies" group and got some good ol' fashion local input.
1. Bibo Coffee Company
Located on Sierra Street and also on Record Street, Bibo company always delivers the best products in Reno. The handmade gelato shown below is one of the best desserts in Reno according to the local Foodies. Bibo Coffee Company consistently offers many amazing and unique flavors such as their infamous Graham Cracker Gelato (pictured below). Their gelato is unique because it is made fresh in many flavors. Bibo also serves many Italian sodas (pictured Below) that are very heavenly to try. I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxed environment along with some sensational food.

2. The Gas Lamp
Located on the Reno-Carson Highway, The Gas Lamp is definitely a landmark Reno Dessert staple! Mostly known as an upscale restaurant, serving everything from burgers to great quality steaks. The Gas Lamp serves a plethora of mouth-watering desserts such as their amazing brownie (fresh from the oven) topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Another popular item served here is their beautiful strawberry cheesecake, which is too beautiful to eat! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're wishing to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Located in the heart of Midtown is, of course, Midtown Eats. Midtown Eats has been becoming very popular in the past couple of years because of their vast array of food and desserts.
