Dessert

7 spots for gelato, frozen yoghurt and a late sugar hit, from the morning pastry run to the post-gig sweet fix.

The dessert end of Swan Street has grown fast, led by a cluster of self-serve frozen-yoghurt bars and a Gelato Messina outpost. Most stay open late, which makes them the natural after-dinner or post-gig stop. For coffee and pastry, see Cafés.
