Spot Dessert Bar
Master Critic Review
Spot Dessert Bar
8.5
An Asian-inspired dessert bar where ice-cream-and-sorbet elements show up as part of composed plates rather than just cones and cups. This is the move for late-night sweets with structure—warm cake or toast paired with a cold, creamy counterpoint and a little theatricality.
Must-Try Dishes:
Matcha Lava Cake with matcha ice cream, Golden Toast with condensed milk ice cream, Soda float with house-made ice cream
Scores:
Value: 7.1

Who should go: Groups chasing a dessert destination
When to visit: Late night for the full vibe
What to order: Matcha lava, golden toast, one float or sorbet plate
Insider tip: Split two desserts for the table—sweetness adds up fast.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive in Court Square; paid garages within a 5–10 minute walk are the safest bet at night.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy—jeans are fine, but this is a ‘look nice for dessert’ kind of spot.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—conversation is easy, but the room has a buzz, especially late.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes late night without a reservation, shorter if you arrive earlier in the evening.
Weekday lunch: Minimal to no wait most weekdays.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—most desserts are vegetarian-friendly by default.
Vegan options: Limited—usually one or two sorbet-based or fruit-forward options.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some sorbets or plated desserts can work, but many items involve cake or toast components.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—shared desserts, visual presentation, and a relaxed late-night vibe make it playful without feeling too formal.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes, especially on weekdays or earlier in the night, but expect a wait during peak weekend dessert hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Older kids and teens will enjoy it, but the late-night crowd and plated-dessert focus make it better suited for adults.
Best For
Better for: Composed, Instagram-worthy dessert plates and late-night date energy rather than simple scoops or quick soft serve.
Skip if: You just want a fast, inexpensive cone or classic ice cream without the sit-down experience.
