Craving something sweet? We've got just the ticket—desserts of all kinds, delivered to your door. Whether you're jonesing for a doughnut, brownie, cupcake, milkshake, or even a "less guilty" vegan concoction, we've got you covered.

Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken
516 W. 6th St.

This acclaimed D.C. chain has made a footprint on the West Coast, offering the unbeatable combo of fresh doughnuts and fried bird. If you'd rather skip the chicken, the doughnut selection is still admirable, with creme brulee, maple bacon, and chocolate banana daiquiri ranking among customers' favorite flavors. And if you're not the type to enjoy a doughnut without coffee, they'll deliver you a hot cup or a nitro cold brew, too.

If you've got a bakery craving, Big Sugar has you covered. They've got cupcakes in flavors ranging from red velvet to double chocolate, a huge selection of brownies (including Oreo and salted caramel), and a few unique treats, like doughnut muffins and banana pudding. Vegans and gluten-free folks won't have to feel left out, either: there's a cupcake for each constituency (chocolate, of course), as well as gluten-free brownies.

When it comes to cinnamon rolls, this spot is the king of customization. They'll accessorize a basic roll with more than a dozen different frostings (from chai to strawberry to banana cream) and a whole host of toppings, including some out-there options like pie crumble and cookie dough. But those with restricted diets will be especially jazzed, because everything in the shop is 100% vegan, down to the faux-"Oreo" cookie crumbles. Not feeling the rolls? They do chocolate-chip cookies and brownies, too.

This Asian-inspired spot offers something unique for a coffeehouse: milkshakes, in flavors that include coffee and green tea. If ice cream sounds a little heavy, they'll also hook you up with a sweet drink like a chai latte or a Thai tea latte. And for a true caloric splurge, there's the brick toast, a Japanese-style concoction of buttery bread topped with matcha butter, whipped cream, and matcha ice cream. 


Cafe Gratitude

Despite its reputation as a palace of clean eating, Cafe Gratitude does offer a variety of desserts that will win over healthy food fanatics and sugar fiends alike. The "Key lime pie" made with avocado and a pecan crust is surprisingly close to the real deal, and there's a big selection of superfood chocolate bars like the Crunch bar-esque Kind, in which puffed quinoa subs in for the crispy rice. And the mint chocolate shake with cashew coconut ice cream is no slouch, even if you're not a vegan.
