The Top 15 Dessert Shops in San Antonio
The best dessert shops in San Antonio, by the professional record: Michelin Guide, James Beard Awards, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Nicōsi comes out on top.
The Art Of Donut and Chacha Bedoy Donuts & Bakery hold the next two places. San Antonio Express-News shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Eater next.

Rank 1. Nicōsi
Creative Dessert
A dessert-only tasting menu tucked inside Pullman Market, where phones stay pocketed all night by house rule. The multicourse format chases four flavor arcs, acid through sweet, and the kitchen rarely repeats itself season to season. Cotton candy spun tableside and caviar on cheese crackers give you a sense of the register. The chefs narrate as they go, which helps. A Michelin star, and a James Beard nominee for Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker.
