The Bake Shop has tons of delicious desserts, but their most unique is probably the strawberry milk donuts (they also make a tasty strawberry milk cake). I can’t even begin to describe these round little gems of goodness...you just have to try them for yourself. 111 25th Street, Ogden.

It’s true ... there’s an entire cafe named after chocolate. AND, there are two locations - one in Orem, and one in West Jordan. The cafe has a plethora of signature cakes, but The Husband might be the best. It’s several layers of yellow cake with milk chocolate ganache. In their description, they use the word "drench" to describe that ganache. Yum.

9. Green Jell-o

It’s Utah’s iconic dessert, though many Utahns have never eaten it. Find it at buffet restaurants and family reunions all over the state. And no...green Jello salad is still a dessert...NOT a salad.

What are the best bakeries in Utah? 

There is no shortage of bakeries in Utah, and with so many great ones, it can be tough picking where to get your treats. But, one of our favorite Utah bakeries is Farmstead bakery in St. George. This European-style bakery offers bread of all varieties that you can take home or enjoy as a scrumptious sandwich. The pastry options like homemade doughnuts and croissants are sure to wow as well! Those with a truly massive sweet tooth will also fall in love with our Utah pie shops road trip. This trip is about eight hours and takes you to six of the best pieces of pie in Utah. It would make for a great weekend trip!

Where can I eat at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Utah?

The best way to eat like the locals is to dine at one of the many amazing hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Utah. If you want some of the best and most authentic Mexican food in Utah, look no further than Chunga's. This unassuming spot is family owned and you can really feel the love that goes into every dish. The tacos Al Pastor cannot be missed, and be sure to start your meal with the homemade tortilla chips.

True carnivores will love a visit to Ray's where you can find some of the best steaks in Utah. You'll feel like family here in a way that will keep you coming back over and over again. We're so enthusiastic about these hidden gem restaurants that we even put together a Utah Barbecue road trip that takes you to seven hole-in-the-walls for some unbeatable meals.

Are there any themed dining experiences in Utah? 

Utah themed restaurants are such a blast! Who doesn't like to enjoy their meal with a little bit of extra atmosphere on the side? You can have a meal just like Royalty at Five Alls Restaurant in Salt Lake City. With five courses, costumed waitstaff, and era-appropriate decor, you'll feel just like you've traveled to Medieval times. For something a bit less elegant but equally fun, you can dine inside an actual covered wagon at Prairie Schooner Steakhouse. Designed to mimic wagon trains of days long past, you'll find inside campfires to dine around and so many touches that really set the scene. And, of course, the food is delicious! Definitely come with a big appetite.
