Whether it is your favourite way to end a meal, or you don’t let ‘meal-time’ dictate when you deserve to treat yourself, satisfying your sweet tooth is easy to do in Grand Cayman. From shortbreads and puddings, to profiteroles and tartlets and the rows and rows of mini-cakes enjoyed at Sunday brunch - here's Good Taste's tried-and-tasted roundup of Cayman's most drool-inducing desserts.
Anchor & Den is a dream come true for dessert lovers. Their whimsical Mad Hatters Tea Party every Saturday features a rotating selection of housemade cakes and other high-tea classics. The Crêperie offers guests a daily selection of sweet (and savoury) crêpes and chocolate fiends can indulge in exquisite chocolates and truffles at the Bombonería, made by Anchor & Den’s in-house Chocolatier.
As well as beautiful breezy terraces which overlook the passing sailboats of the Cayman Islands Yacht Club, bacaro Cayman also boasts a decadent dessert menu, featuring Italian classics such as pannacotta, tiramisu and the perfect post-dinner pick-me-up, affogato. With only a handful to choose from, their short and sweet menu reminds us that quality is superior to quantity.
This delightful restaurant, always popular with the 'locals',has gained such a following for its Sticky Toffee Pudding that a nearby road has been named after it. Such merit is not given without reason however they also offer up a variety of other delicious desserts including their Millionaire Shortbread.

Grand Cayman's Häagen-Dazs uses only the finest ingredients – the purest vanilla from Madagascar, the finest Hawaiian Macadamia Nuts, the darkest, rich Belgian Chocolate – nothing but the best will do. There is also a delectable selection of dairy-free sorbets, such as Mango and Raspberry.
Specialty treats are offered at most restaurants however our two recommendations below promise the most extensive selection for those after something sweet in line with any special dietary requirements.
