Where to find the best desserts in OKC

Roxy’s Ice Cream Social

I’m happy to stop by this Plaza District favorite anytime for a slice of pie, but I especially love it when my family celebrates my December birthday with their seasonal holiday mint pie. The pie features an Oreo crust layered with mint ganache, chocolate pastry cream, fresh mint whipped cream and Andes mint pieces, and it’s only available in December. When we’re picking up slices other times of year, our favorite flavors are Peanut Butter Chocolate and Drunken Turtle.

This tiny OKC bakery produces more than 20,000 scrumptious pies annually and sells by the slice or whole pie. They also offer special orders, especially during the holidays.

Pro tip: Follow them on social media so you’ll know when orders open!

Freezing Cow

If you forced me to choose my favorite ice cream flavor of all time, it would be Freezing Cow’s Black Forest. But let me back up. Freezing Cow creates the most unique ice cream you’ll find in the metro. Their homemade rolled ice cream is lactose-free, and the flavor combinations are as unique as they are varied.

What is rolled ice cream? Watching the preparation is half the fun. The staff pours a liquid ice cream base onto a super cold work surface. They quickly spread the mix, which freezes, and then scrape the mixture into rolls, creating a dense ice cream with a unique texture. Then, the toppings of your choice are added, which in my case are brownie bits, Oreo pieces and chocolate fudge atop chocolate rolled ice cream.

Stop by to try for yourself at their location on Northwest Expressway, or be on the lookout for their ice cream truck at an event near you.

Harvey Bakery (+ Hall’s)

If I’m scheduling a coffee, breakfast, brunch or lunch meeting, expect to meet me at Harvey Bakery in Midtown. This spot is a standout among OKC bakeries and a must for fans of artisan-style cakes and pastries. While you can’t go wrong with any of the fluffy croissants, flavorful scones or creative cookies, my personal favorites are the orange cranberry cruffins and snickerdoodle cookies, both with just the right balance of crisp to chewy. And Harvey’s cinnamon rolls are the best I’ve ever tried — tender, bursting with cinnamon flavor and extra ooey gooey in the middle.

Bonus: the same local family also owns Hall’s Pizza Kitchen (also in Midtown), where I suggest a salted caramel chocolate chip cookie to round out your meal.

Boom Town Creamery

Boom Town is an experience in bold, fresh flavors made with the highest quality ingredients and handmade mix-ins. Their small-batch ice creams, served at three locations, are dreamy, and the rotating menu keeps us coming back to see what new combos are scooping. One of my all-time favorites is the Elemental Espresso Crunch, featuring locally roasted coffee from Elemental Coffee Roasters.

Boom Town also partners with local organizations and nonprofits to create flavors inspired by their work, and that community connection adds even more heart to their already delicious offerings.

Don’t get me started on the seasonal peppermint bark ice cream
in December. I may be known to make weekly trips when it’s on
the menu.

From towering slices of cake to small-batch ice cream and flaky pastries to decadent pies, these spots truly offer some of the best desserts in OKC. As a mom always on the lookout for something sweet to share with my kids — or, let’s be honest, enjoy myself — I can promise each of these dessert restaurants is worth the trip. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just need a little pick-me-up, these local favorites are sure to hit the (sweet) spot.
