The Dessert Spot — Restaurant in Waxahachie

When you are looking for a family-owned coffee and desert shop rather than the usual chain, the Waxahachie, Texas Dessert Spot is perfect!

While taking lunch in Waxahachie, I discovered its charming historical downtown and this sweet spot to grab a hot beverage and dessert! The chocolate chip cookies are upper fresh and huge – plenty to share between the two of us. The vast selection of homemade desserts is impressive. Red velvet, butter sugar, lemon, double chocolate, snickerdoodle, peanut butter, oatmeal chocolate chip with walnuts cookies and more.

The owners are exceptionally warm, professional, and welcoming. You get a generous smile along with service from Elmo. Whatever you order, kindness accompanies it. We noted Elmo’s pride in his wife’s décor and dessert recipe creations. For a mid-day pick up moment, this place offers it all. There is ample seating that includes a high-top counter area near the large front windows, table arrangements for larger groups, smaller tables with benches, and a cozy couch and arm chairs area. Very pleasant!

Other pluses are that items are super affordable and its location is interesting as it's inside of a well-kept historic hotel. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting downtown Waxahachie. Its carrot cake, cheesecake and lemon cake are exceptional, too. Especially, the lemon is bursting with fresh fruit flavor.

Take time to read the signage, quotes, and words of encouragement displayed throughout the shop. These owners care about their clientele and are passionate to offer an exceptional experience.

We were so ready to be so mad! We visited this small little corner shop and it was everything we wanted and so much more. We ordered an entire triple chocolate cake and were shocked and appalled by the price. My wife was wanting to cancel the order as we waited in the beautiful soft leather lounge chairs. The lady came over and complimented my wife’s dress and how beautiful she was. We took this extraordinary dessert to our friends get together of 6. The pieces were so huge each couple had to share one. We all took a bite and I looked at my wife in discuss ; asking her how can this extremely expensive dessert be so amazing! Let us try another bite. Everyone agreed that it got better with each bite. So we asked for a few slices to take home. This afternoon we took one slice out to share agin and we asked what hocus-pocus is being used to make this dish? It’s even better than yesterday. We strongly recommend that you stay away from unless you are truly prepared for your...

Discovered The Dessert Spot while passing through Waxahachie. OMG, this place is a gem! We're from Dallas and drive through Waxahachie to and from Austin/College Station/Houston often. Little did we know Waxahachie has such a cute, historical downtown, let alone this sweet spot! The cookies and brownies are GINORMOUS and all homemade. The owners were so warm and welcoming -- after a long drive, this place checked all the boxes. Everything looked so fresh and delicious, I had to get one of everything. We're back on the road. I'm supposed take these goodies to family back and Dallas, but with a box of eight cookies, one brownie...hubby and I couldn't resist. They....
