By Julia Diem Tuesday, January 30th, 2024

What better combo is there really than something sweet with an oceanfront view?

There’s no better way to cap off a perfect Myrtle Beach vacation day than with a sinfully sweet treat. Whether you’re in the mood for something rich and decadent or want to stroll the Boardwalk with an ice cream cone in hand, these VMB partners will satisfy your sweet tooth.

These are the 7 best dessert places in Myrtle Beach you won’t want to miss out on.

1. Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream

1303 Celebrity Circle Suite 125A, Myrtle Beach

Although most know Ben & Jerry’s for the ice cream cartons you can buy at the grocery store, here you can enjoy it freshly made and even weirder flavor combos.

Whether you’re in the mood for wacky flavors like Cake Batter or Chubby Hubby, classic favorites like Chocolate Fudge Brownie or simple Chocolate Chip, you can’t go wrong at this ice cream parlor.

2. Croissants Bistro & Bakery

8014 N Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach

At Croissants Bistro and Bakery, talented pastry chefs whip up fancy sweets like Chocolate Raspberry Torte, Peanut Butter Cup Cake, Key Lime Pie, and Coconut Custard Cake. Big enough to share, but so tasty that you’ll want one all to yourself.

If you’re in the mood for an entire meal, Croissants is one of the best brunch spots on the Grand Strand, just be sure to save some room for dessert or a smoothie to top it off! Or, enjoy crepes or waffles to have a dessert as your meal.

3. TGI Friday’s

7515 N Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach

TGI Friday’s may make you think of burgers, steaks, ribs, and huge salads but have you ever checked out their generous desserts?

Sweet treats like Brownie Obsession (a warm brownie topped with Ghirardelli fudge sauce and vanilla ice cream), Salted Caramel Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, and Tennessee Whiskey Cake will make the perfect ending to a beautiful day on Myrtle Beach, or the start to an exciting night out.

Plus, as a VMB partner, you’ll get a discount here.
