3 SWEET Ways to Celebrate National Dessert Day in Mid-City!
Elsie's Plate & Pie โ 3145 Government St.
This is probably the most distinctly Mid City Baton Rouge dessert choice. The current menu has Lemon Icebox, Coconut Cream, Sโmores, Turtle and Chocolate Cream pies, plus the Eye of the Tigerโlemon icebox pie with blueberry whipped cream. Their baked-to-order apple pie with ice cream sounds particularly dangerous.
Spoke & Hub โ 5412 Government St.
More of a sit-down dessert experience. It has a dedicated dessert bar with things like big shakes, floats, cake and croffles; 225 has highlighted creations such as the Brownie Mountain Shake and strawberry shortcake parfait.
Mid City Bakery
Worth watching for orders/pop-ups rather than treating it like a traditional walk-in bakery. They do cookies, brownies, hand pies, cinnamon rolls, pound cakes and other baked treats; 225 specifically lists them among Baton Rouge cottage bakers to follow for orders and pop-ups.
