Are you the type of person who thinks no meal is complete without dessert? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some local favourite sweet treats in Downtown Cranbrook.
Starting with a local favourite, Twisted Peaks Frozen Yogurt is open late during the summer and is a convenient place to stop for dessert after dinner, or even before dinner on your way home from the lake.
Twisted Peaks offers plenty of options, including frozen yogurt, Foothills Creamery ice cream, dirty sodas, and more. If you’re looking for dairy-free or sugar-free options, they always have a dairy-free and a sugar-free frozen yogurt available.
The flavours of both the frozen yogurt and ice cream change weekly, so there’s always something new to try.
Our recommendation: Mango ice cream or a green tea and vanilla twist with chocolate chips.
Known for its local roots and welcoming atmosphere, Max’s Place has been serving Cranbrook for more than 25 years. This café and bakery offers coffee, meals, and house-made baking.
From their famous cinnamon buns to their grab-and-go sandwiches, everything is made fresh daily in-house. Whether you’re looking for a midday treat, a quick lunch, or simply a cozy place to relax, Max’s Place is always a great choice.
Our recommendation: A peach Italian soda or a chocolate chip shortbread cookie.
If you are looking for chocolate, Sweet Gestures Chocolate Shoppe offers handcrafted chocolates, truffles, and other chocolate products.
Whether you’re looking for a chocolate bar, a box of truffles, Italian gelato, or specialty candies, Sweet Gestures offers a wide selection.
Our recommendation: The chocolate and caramel bear claw.
Do you enjoy sweet treats and a good book? If so, Kootenay Grounds is a café and bookstore where you can grab a coffee, enjoy a house-made dessert, and spend some time reading or catching up with friends.
Their featured OSO Negro coffee, paired with house-made baked goods and desserts, has made Kootenay Grounds a well-known stop in Cranbrook.
Our recommendation: The freshly made Nanaimo bar.
Last, but certainly not least, is Munch Café & Deli. Although Munch is one of Cranbrook’s newer cafés, it has built a following with its selection of hot and cold sandwiches, handcrafted drinks, and baked desserts.
With a variety of baked treats available each day, there is always a rotating selection in the display case.
Our recommendation: Their fruit loop cupcakes.
