Best Dessert Spots in Savannah
Savannah, Georgia — updated August 22, 2026
Seven Savannah bakeries and cafes for eclairs, croissants, cake and late pastry, with the hours and closed days worth checking before you walk over.
Listings verified
Savannah's sweets are spread out: the pastry cases downtown keep daytime hours and close before dinner, while some of the best baking sits well south of the squares in Sandfly and off Victory Drive. Several of the strongest options here also close one or two days a week, which catches visitors out. Below, the places ordered by how squarely they answer the dessert question, with review counts noted so you can tell a settled rating from a promising one.
1. Auspicious Sandfly
A dedicated baking company rather than a cafe that happens to sell pastry, which is why it leads. The menu runs to a pear and almond croissant, cream cheese danish, an apricot basil croissant loaf and chocolates, alongside hand-crafted breads and a full-service coffee bar. At 4.8 from 675 reviews, the rating is high and backed by enough volume to trust. The catch is the schedule: Sandfly and the Whitemarsh location both open Wednesday through Sunday, 7am to 3pm, so Monday and Tuesday are out. It sits on Skidaway Road, a drive from the Historic District.
2. Le Café Gourmet Bakery
The eclair specialist on the list, with original and blueberry maple bacon versions among those it posts. A 4.5 across 1,084 reviews is a proven score rather than a small sample, and it comes from a bakery that has settled into a strip on East Victory Drive rather than a tourist block. Hours run 7am to 5pm most days, with a 9am start on Sunday, and it is closed Wednesday. Worth the short drive east if you want something piped and filled rather than a croissant.
3. Maté Factor
A yerba mate and coffee house with a wholesome bakery attached, on East Hall Street near the Starland side of town. The 4.7 rating rests on 1,401 reviews, one of the more settled figures here, and the signature drinks list runs to mocha mint and vanilla hazelnut lattes if you want something sweet in a cup. It keeps unusual hours: open until 8pm Monday through Thursday and Sunday, closing at 3pm Friday, closed all day Saturday. That evening window makes it one of the few after-dinner options in this group.
4. Flora and Fauna Savannah
A neighborhood bakery, coffee house and supper club at the south end of Bull Street, near the Starland district. Pastries and biscuits are the focus of what it posts, along with New School espresso. The 4.7 rating comes from 305 reviews, which is promising rather than proven, so treat it as the newer entry on this list. Hours are simple and short: 8am to 2pm, Monday through Sunday. Arrive in the morning if you want a full case rather than what is left at lunchtime.
5. Savannah Coffee Roasters
The largest sample here among the bakery-leaning cafes: 4.5 from 2,702 reviews, a rating that has had plenty of chances to slip and has not. It is a roastery and cafe on West Liberty Street with a food menu alongside the coffee, and cake shows up regularly in customer photos, including an orange olive oil cake paired with cold brew. Open 7am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and 7am to 4pm on Sunday. Central enough to fold into a walk around the Historic District without a detour.
6. The Coffee Fox Roasting Co.
Useful for one reason above all: it stays open latest. Monday through Saturday it runs 7am to 8pm, and Sunday 8am to 6pm, while most bakeries in this guide shut by mid-afternoon. The Broughton Street cafe pairs espresso drinks and pour-overs with pastries, plus cheese plates, wine and beer. A 4.5 from 2,163 reviews puts it in proven territory. Come here when the craving lands in the evening and the bakeries have already pulled their trays.
7. The Collins Quarter
A sit-down brunch and dinner room on Bull Street rather than a bakery, included because it runs pastry specials alongside the kitchen menu and has the deepest record on this list: 4.7 from 4,984 reviews. Brunch service runs daily from 8am to 3pm, with dinner added later in the week, so a pastry with coffee here comes with a table and a wait rather than a counter. There is a sister location at Forsyth Park. Choose it when dessert is part of a longer sit rather than a quick stop.
What we left off
Bitty & Beau's Coffee, on West Congress Street, was dropped because it is part of a multi-state chain with locations well beyond Georgia, and this guide sticks to independent Savannah businesses. Nothing else from the previous version was removed.
