There is nothing like a dessert to hit that sweet spot after a meal. While restaurants sometimes can consider it an afterthought, many spots in town devote a lot of creativity and care to make the end of the meal as thrilling as the start. Some are known for innovative creations, and others are proudly famous for serving classics. Here is a list of our favourite desserts in Pune worth saving room for. From Japanese treats to French confections, Middle Eastern masterpieces, and more — the list has it all!
We Always Have Room For These 7 Decadent Desserts In Pune
Amato | Japanese Dessert Café
Amato, Pune's first Japanese dessert cafe in Koregaon Park, offers several sweet courses for your sweet tooth cravings. From Shibuya toast to souffle pancakes to kakigori, mochi, and boba teas, everything from the menu is irresistible. But if we had to choose, it would be the Matcha Cream Kakigori. The combination of shaved ice flavoured with matcha and topped with condensed milk is for the win.
