Just desserts: Best sweet treats at Time Out Market Boston

Seeing as too many donuts resemble thick pastries with an even thicker glaze, they don’t always feel like a good option for dessert. Not so with USD's award-winning circular treats: Made daily from scratch with a light and fluffy brioche dough, these are sure-fire crowd pleasers. They come as sweet as you like, laying on the sugar rush with flavors like brown butter hazelnut crunch or sea salted bourbon caramel, but there’s more sumptuous options like Belgian dark chocolate and vanilla bean as well.

Gelatiere Vincent Turco’s smooth gelatos and refreshing sorbets are probably the easiest target choice when it comes to looking for something sweet and cool at Time Out Market Boston. Turco turns milk and cream into formidable flavors like Sicilian pistachio or Cioccolato made with rich Valrhona Guanaja. If gelato’s not your thing, or if you need lactose-free options, dig into a cup of sorbet brimming with classic flavors like strawberry or get adventurous with pineapple with rosemary or brightly colored blood orange.

Mamaleh’s might be better known for its lovingly crafted deli eats, but at Time Out Market Boston, the Mamaleh’s team serves up diet-busting slices of gorgeous chocolate cake. Who says you can't have cake as part of an epicurean foodie feast? This one is moist and made with fine ingredients; we won't judge if you take down an entire slice in one sitting.

When it comes to ending a meal on both a sweet and healthful note, few options beat fruit, the natural desserts of the earth. You can treat any of Revolution Health Kitchen’s blended options as meals in and of themselves, but their drinks come jampacked with enough flavour to make them a nice way to round out a bigger meal. Our go-to’s the Sidekick, with its tasty mix of banana, date and strawberry. Besides, whatever you can’t finish makes for a great breakfast the next day.
