Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Mount Charleston

"This is a hidden gem even many locals haven’t discovered yet. I am breaking at least a dozen rules by sharing this spot with outsiders, but it is the absolute BEST place for coffee in Las Vegas. This spot is so secret it doesn’t even have a sign out front – just a giant wooden door with a red plaque that simply reads “OPEN”."

"For the instantly charming coffee shop in Las Vegas, got to go to Gäbi’s for that. This shop is actually a Korean coffee house but they don’t make their coffees any different here; just better. Try their specialty coffee The Gäbi, a dry cappuccino, and pair it with their deliciously guilty sweets such as a tiramisu."

"Gäbi Coffee & Bakery takes its cue from 1920s Korean coffee culture. Behind the unmarked antique door is an industrial warehouse that’s anything but utilitarian. Central to the design is a greenhouse where all the roasting and baking happens."

"Open 24 hours a day, your donut cravings can always be satisfied here, as they also offer nearly every donut in existence—even cronuts!. Once you taste one of their small circles of perfection, it will be very hard to resist getting more. We think you’ll agree, Pinkbox’s sweet treats are better than cake."

"Pinkbox Donuts is an incredibly unique donut shop in the Las Vegas area. They are known for their magical unicorns, rainbow frosting, and striking sculptures found on top of all of their donuts. They are led by Chef Amanda, who consistently dreams up unique emojis that go with each donut."

"Last up on my list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, it’s the Big Poppa Tart!. Everyone loves donuts, and the Donut Bar in Las Vegas has fully capitalised on the fried dough phenomenon. Anything from there is pretty epic, so you can’t really go wrong."

"Choices at this doughnut emporium out of San Diego include the "Big Poppa Tart," mud pie, maple Bourbon, Boston creme, apple fritter, cake batter and naturally, the super-sized "Homer's donut."

"My family came down from Salt Lake City, Utah and we decided to try the Donut Bar in Las Vegas. The donuts are humongous. The pop tart one is delicious..."

"Carlo’s Las Vegas Bakery is a family-owned bakery and was featured on the hit TLC show Cake Boss. The bakery was first opened more than 100 years ago by Carlo Guastaffero. The bakery evolved into its modern form in 1964."

"Buddy Valastro’s Carlo’s Bakery at the Venetian has been making lobster tails since the bakery launched more than 100 years ago."

"When the Linq outdoor shopping center opened this year, it brought Sprinkles, the cupcake phenomenon that swept neighboring California. Its signature treat is a delicious red velvet flavor that melts in your mouth, topped with rich cream cheese topping. Other popular flavors include cinnamon sugar, strawberry, vanilla – and tiny little doggie cupcakes topped with an edible bone."

Sprinkles was the first ever cupcake bakery opened in Beverly and is well-known for its rotating menu of cupcakes, ice-cream, and cookies. It creates the most amazing cupcakes with the finest ingredients such as bourbon vanilla, real strawberries, Belgian chocolate and many more."

"Sprinkles Cupcakes opened in Beverly Hills in 2005 and is now at over 20 locations across the US. We were very excited when they opened a shop in Las Vegas at The LINQ’s outdoor avenue. Sprinkles freshly bakes and handcrafts the tastiest and coolest looking cupcakes we have ever had the pleasure of eating."

"A leading cake shop in Las Vegas, Caked provides both individual and full-sized cakes baked in an endless array of rotating flavors.

They can design cakes in the shapes of characters, feature custom cake toppers, and match a wide variety of personalized requests."

"Carl’s Donuts first started as an old school donut shop in 1963 as a simple walk-up in California. After relocating to Vegas, they stepped up their game and branched out to also offer boutique specialty donuts, like cinnamon toast crunch, as well as picturesque donut walls. But for those who accompany their donut loving friends but are wanting something a bit more savory, they also offer a range of delicious quiches."

"Perhaps the most well-known donut shop in Las Vegas is Carl’s Donuts. Carl’s Donuts originally opened in 1963 in Monterrey Park, CA; however, Carl’s Donuts recently opened its first standalone location in Las Vegas on Sunset Road. Here, customers can watch donuts get created from start to finish through a window into the bakery."

"Next on our list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, it’s anything (we mean anything!) from Milk Bar. Milk bar was created by award-winning chef and owner Christina Tosi in 2008, and it’s a dessert place that offers a quirky and romantic spin on classic home-style desserts. It’s just so charming and delicious, it’s really hard not to be won over by this amazing little gem."

"This tea shop advertises as a "Hooters, but for boba tea," with female servers wearing lingerie throughout the establishment. The potted milk tea, ice rose milk tea, and hot Thai tea with boba are among the most requested items."

"Milk Bar at the Cosmopolitan can bake special-order layer cakes in flavors such as birthday cake, strawberry-lemon and pretzel with three days's notice."

"Just west of Las Vegas, the limestone cliffs and alpine forested peaks of the lofty Spring Mountains rise unmistakably above the Mojave Desert.

It is recorded on the city’s Historic Property Register as a historic region and on the Nevada State Register of Historic places."

"If your children love to explore the outdoors and want to know what it might be like to walk through a rainforest, this free rainforest atrium at the Mirage Hotel might be just the (free) ticket!. The atrium features a 20,000 gallon saltwater aquarium with tons of aquatic wildlife, and just behind the aquarium is a tropical rainforest complete with lagoons, a waterfall, and tons of stunning tropical plants, flowers and more. Kids who love gardens and the outdoors will love to imagine they’re heading through a real jungle as you make your way through this free indoor rainforest garden."

"Everyone likes a good laugh every now and then; a fact that is especially true when you’re on vacation. Make it a vacation on the Las Vegas Strip with a renowned comedy club – add famous stand-up comedians to the mix – and you’ll never look at Las Vegas comedy shows the same!"

"However, you can find both just outside the club, in the hotel’s restaurant or casino. You must be 18 or older to enter. The Laugh Factory has a varied lineup."

"Venue: Las Vegas Live Comedy Club At The SAXE Theater / V Theater. Show Times: 9:00 pm Nightly. The Las Vegas Live Comedy Club is located in the Miracle Mile shops, inside the Planet Hollywood hotel and casino."
