Walking into Freed’s Bakery should honestly come with a warning sign that says: “Abandon all willpower, ye who enter here.” From the moment you open the door, the smell alone grabs you by the soul and gently whispers, “You’re not leaving here without carbs, sweetheart.” Let’s start with the cannoli because OH. MY. GOD. Biting into a Freed’s cannoli is like getting a love letter straight from Italy… hand-delivered by someone’s Nonna who’s been baking for 80 years and judges you for not visiting more often. The shell is perfectly crisp — like, crunchy but not break-your-tooth crunchy — and the filling is perfectly rich and creamy. And the cupcakes?

Read moreFreed’s Dessert Shop at The Bend is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly smiles and the sweet aroma of fresh-baked cookies and cakes.

Read moreThis family-owned dessert shop has been a staple for my husband and I since moving to Vegas. We tend to have a sweet tooth, so finding a place that offers a variety of yummy treats was a must. We were very excited when they opened up this new location by our home. The establishment’s nicely organized and they had a few outdoor tables where you can enjoy your sweet treats. My husband got the tiramisu and I picked out two of their most popular cupcake flavors. The strawberries and cream cupcake had a fluffy texture and the perfect amount of sweetness. The cookies and cream cupcake is overall very tasty and satisfied my chocolate craving.
