Desserts can be a sweet, lasting memory of an extraordinary travel experience. When the hosts of Newsweek’s Fast Women podcast travel, we don’t leave finding the best pastries in town to chance. Instead, we ask the locals which restaurant, shop or stand makes the very best; the hotel concierge is often a great resource, too. From coffee cake at Olsen’s Danish Village Bakery in California to milkshakes at Diesel Créme in South Africa or Sacher Torte at the Café Sacher in Austria, the sweet treats on this list are some of our favorites around the globe—and well worth a trip to discover.
