Fear not, dessert lovers, Afters Dessert Bar only took a short hiatus to move into an even bigger space at Brightleaf Square this winter. With an ever-growing, seasonally-inspired menu containing both sweet and savory treats (including gluten-free options), Afters is a great downtown stop for satisfying your sweet tooth. For morning pastries, enjoy muffins and scones, or pick up a scratch made cookie cream pie or chocolate as an afternoon treat or after a meal (get it?).

The guy who makes these desserts is a genius when it comes to flavor and texture combinations. I lack the culinary vocabulary to properly articulate how good everything is but I've loved everything I've tried here.

The prices are very good for downtown Durham, but the cookies were just okay, nothing special. Very sweet.

Everything here is amazing. I recently got a scone and a Boston cream pie. The flavors were incredible. I think the Boston cream pie was a special for Pi day but I really hope they have it again.

Super cute and delicious pastry and dessert spot. Everything we tried was excellent and we even got a gourmet dog treat for our pup. :)

Afters has amazing desserts! If you love chocolate, this is your place! They put a fun spin on things like cookie cake by the slice, “thunks”, and more too.
