Bread and Circuses

Stop here to enjoy fresh-brewed coffee and a homemade pastry or slice of pie. All the desserts are made from scratch – no mixes here! Try a moist date square or a rich chocolate brownie. During the winter, the café hosts a Friday evening concert series, and there are often live poetry readings.

Bridge Drive-In

766 Jubilee Ave, Winnipeg, MB · 204-475-6850

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Outdoor Dining: None

For generations of Winnipeggers, the Bridge Drive-In is the only place in town to get ice cream. It's the perfect place to go on a balmy summer night, when you can cool off with one of 11 flavors, or try an elaborate sundae or an "upside down milkshake."

Dessert Sinsations Cafe

505 St. Mary Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3C 4B8 · 204-284-4661

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Dress: BC, CBC: Business Casual
C: Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

Justifiably famous desserts! From traditional layer cakes to elaborate tortes to unique cheesecakes, Dessert Sinsations has a sweet to tempt everyone. If you arrive ravenous, the café serves a full menu of sandwiches, pastas, steaks and the like. But dessert is the big draw. Be forewarned, however, that servings tend to be huge – you'll be getting a slab of cake, not a dainty little slice! Cookies, bars, tartlets and petits fours are just as good, though, and better sized for the single snacker! Cakes and desserts for diabetics and vegans are also available.

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Dress: CC: Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

Coffee and ice cream specialists Forbidden Flavours concoct some of the finest hot and cold java drinks in the region and serve excellent ice cream too. Try a frothy cappuccino, a steamy latte, or roasty espresso on a cold morning; iced coffee, smoothies and shakes make great summer coolers.

GG Gelati

705 Corydon Ave, Winnipeg, MB · 204-453-5710

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Reservations: Not Accepted
Outdoor Dining:

This Little Italy gelateria is usually packed – after all, gelati isn't just for summer anymore! With 42 flavors or gelati and sorbetto, you'll have a tough choice, but everything is made right on the premises, so it's truly all good! However, if the thought of eating gelati when the snow is flying leaves you cold, there's a good selection of coffee drinks as well.

Just Desserts Café

150 Provencher Blvd, Winnipeg, MB R2H 0G3 · 204-233-3030

User Rating:  Rating: 4 / 5   (Rate It)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Reservations: Available
Dress: BCBC: Business Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

Head to this cozy café in Winnipeg's French Quarter to sample desserts made with local and organic ingredients. Order a glass of milk if you plan to try the chocolate peanut butter passion cake – it's rich! For something a bit lighter, try turtle cheesecake; its filling is fluffy and light, and it's packed with nuts and caramel. The café also serves excellent sandwiches, homemade soups and light dinner entrees.

Mercato Gelato Cafe

230 Osborne St, Winnipeg, MB R3L 1Z5 · 204-452-0130

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Reservations: Not Accepted
Dress: CC: Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

From a roster of a few hundred different flavors of gelato and sorbetto, Mercato always has 72 on hand, so this is not a place for folks who have a hard time making decisions. To make things easier, narrow your choices down, then ask for little sample tastes of each. Big, well-stuffed paninis are on offer for those with an appetite for something savory.

Nucci's Gelati

643 Corydon Ave, Winnipeg, MB · 204-475-8765

Dress: CC: Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

Gelato is big in Winnipeg, and Nucci's is usually credited with starting the trend. They offer a massive selection of gelato and sorbetto (about 65 flavors), plus robust Italian-style coffee drinks. If the weather is fine, sit out on the patio!
