The 12 best desserts and snacks in New Providence Island

We came here with my French friends, place was reccommended to us, and they did not disappoint. The nice decorations, the island feel and you can see them preparing the dough out front. Cameron took our order, it was easy and simple, and it was a short wait before we got our food. Everything was good, but the best was the JERK CHICKEN for the meal and the guava duff here is off the chain. You get your money's worth, definitely recommend !

I planned on visiting this place in Nassau and so glad I got to try. Purchased 2 traditional guava puffs and 1 tutti fruitti fruit tea and one mango. The cashier suggested it mildly 50% sweet so that's what I got but I should have gotten nice n sweet to my preferred liking. The guava puff was also freshly made. It is mildly sweet with a nice taste. Overall the total was $~25. I would have liked to try their filled pastries and hope I can next time. I do recommend this place and glad I enjoyed this experience

I happened upon this establishment via a cruise excursion. The duffs and the teas are definitely worth trying when you visit. Ms. B. is also lovely and their young pastry chef shows promise. ^_^

Great price affordable!! Rarely do I give a five-star, but The New Duff absolutely deserves it. I had the pulled pork, egg, and cheese—seasoned to perfection. Then came the guava duff… OMG. The coconut French toast? Thick, flavorful, and top-tier. Drinks were just as fresh—I went with the guava ginger lemonade and it hit all the right notes. This spot is a gem. Don’t miss it.

Simply a wonderful place! Off the beaten path in Nassau, but well worth the trip. The food is fantastic and so are the people. Had the Guava Duff and it was incredible - fluffy, just the right sweetness, and the sauce was perfect (getting double next time). The buns are delicious, I will remember these for a while. Got the vegetable, jerk chicken, and ginger pork for the first 3 and then had to get the more (the curry mutton, and jerk chicken, ginger pork again). If you're in Nassau and want something other than tourist fare, make the trip here, you'll thank yourself.

The Fried Sugar Banana duff is just divine. I recommend it OVER the famous guava duff. came for the first time with my father for his birthday and we received free birthday shots and warm hospitality. The JERK CHICKEN and CURRY MUTTON stuffed buns (like bao) are so flavorful. I have a hard time picking one over the other. Pictured is the guava duff. we are everything else so fast we didn’t even think to photograph. that’s how you know it’s good.

Their guava Duff is amazing. They're hot. Sauces were exactly as they described. 50% heat 50% flavor. And the flavor was amazing. They're cinnamon rolls are gigantic. Love it all around

Good ice cream and fast service. Lot’s of loud kids, but that’s pretty normal here.

I love Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The ice cream was yum 😋 but the price is ridiculous. From the receipt, you can see the mark up plus 15% gratuity included. I don’t agree with making people tip, and everything on Atlantis is overpriced and tip automatically added. No kore ice cream until I get home.

Topic: Ben & Jerry’s - Nassau Location Date: 5/16/25 & 5/19/25 Quality: 7/10 Value: 6/10 Service: 8/10 Timeliness: 9/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Total: 37/50 Location by the Marina is one of the best for a Ben & Jerry’s Location. As for the ice cream, it’s B&J’s - pretty much the same in store or in your home. Cherry Garcia 4/5 Chocolate Fudge Brownie 4/5 Triple Caramel Crunch 5/5 Shake with Phish Food & Triple Caramel Chunk 5/5 (This concoction genuinely should be on the menu, it’s incredible, Boo paper straw though!) Chocolate Fudge Brownie - Chocolate Cone 5/5 Salted Caramel Blondie - Chocolate Cone 2/5 (Too salty for a salted caramel ice cream - overpowering)

Ice cream is really good. It’s on average 12 dollars US per scoop. It’s usually really busy at evenings being in Atlantis marina village.

This place is always packed, and super overpriced for regular Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. They also never have the flavor coffee coffee buzz buzz. Checked every single day during our 7 day vacation. You’re def paying tourist prices here- but the wait can sometimes be 30-1 hour. Unreal! Ice cream isn’t as cold as it should be too.

Great ice cream! They have a very quaint location in the Marina Village. Service was quick so the long line moved quickly. Marshmallow Sky was a great flavor and was not too pricey. Overall, a great place for sweets that compliments the other restaurants at Atlantis.

Stopping at Ben & Jerry’s in the Bahamas was the cherry on top of a hot island day! The shop was bright, clean, and perfectly located for a quick break from the sun. As always, the flavors didn’t disappoint—rich, creamy, and packed with all the goodness you'd expect from Ben & Jerry’s. We went with classics like Cherry Garcia and Half Baked and tried a few tropical specials too. The waffle cones were fresh, and the portions were generous—definitely worth the price. The staff was super friendly and patient while we sampled a few flavors (okay, maybe more than a few since we were there for a whole week and stoped there every day!). It’s the perfect treat after a beach day or while strolling through the resort. And honestly, ice cream just hits different when you're in paradise! Highly recommend for anyone craving something sweet, cold, and comforting in the Bahamas.

I just visited here in 5/8/24. The ice cream with some of the best food I ate on my whole entire cruise. I really the lady running the place. Definitely get your ice cream and sit out on the balcony and yell at Tommy across the street doing his dance! Seriously it's a must you got to try in Nassau!

Many different flavour options, staff is always so friendly!! It’s a must when in Nassau two thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely love this place visited here about three years ago on a cruise and never forgot about it went on another cruise that visited Nassau again last week and spent most of the day there searching until we found it

We enjoyed our ice cream. It was really good. The store also had style cute items. They had free wifi too.

Wide variety of items. Walking distance if you're at a nearby hotel. You can sit to a nice ice cream after shopping.

The ice cream is fine. My wife, infant daughter, and I went on a Wednesday afternoon. We sat down and were eating our ice cream, and at 5:00, we were informed that they were closing down. I thought not much of it, since I was aware that they were listed as closing at 5:30 on Googlemaps and I assumed she was referring to that. I stood up uncomfortably and said “at 5:30, right?” and she said “no, right now”. About one minute later, noticing that we were not moving toward the door (since we were not halfway through our ice cream), she said “he’s closing the gate downstairs now” (the parlour is on the second floor of a souvenir shop). She then turned off the lights where we were still seated eating our ice cream, and so I got the message that we were getting kicked out. “I’m just a bit confused because Googlemaps says 5:30.” She replied “we can change our minds anytime if it’s slow”. Now, this is a sound business principle, and we were the only ones in the ice cream parlour at the time. However, we were still seated eating the ice cream we had paid for, we had taken a load off from the stroller and our bags and had settled in comfortably to eat ice cream at the venue where we had purchased the ice cream… it felt super wrong. I’ve never heard of an establishment rushing to push out paying customers half an hour earlier than the scheduled closing time… we truly felt like we were getting kicked out once they abruptly decided that business was too slow to remain open for the day (remember they turned off the lights on us at 5:00 while we were sitting eating our ice cream). Suffice it to say that we will obviously not return, which surely this ice cream parlour situated above a souvenir shop in the tourist area of a beautiful tropical island won’t care about. But, maybe some of y’all would-be patrons will read and decide to prefer an ice cream venue that would decide to allow a small, weary family of paying customers to finish their ice cream in peace before hurriedly bouncing them.

After being harassed by all the loud music and people pushing paper in our faces, we found this lovely icecream shop over a souvenir store. This icecream was delicious and the server extremely nice and helpful. Reasonably priced rum cake too - that I forgot to purchase!

The Napoleons are my favorite. I love the guava duff, but the sauce it super sweet. I would say eat in moderation if you are watching your sugar intake. The service is always quick and superb 👌. Highly recommended.

I'm writing this review just to talk about the gauva twist pastry. I've been thinking about it since the moment I finished it! Lisa checked us out and age was very nice.

Just had the blck forest/ chocolate cake today and they must have improved their recipe because it tastes amazing! It is possibly the best cake i’ve had so far. And the fruit tart was alright. Usually the pastries are iffy but the cake today was so good! 5 stars!

Always a pleasure shopping at the Swiss Pastry. The service is customary, the purchased cakes are always on point and the atmosphere is one that always wants you to come back. I recently ordered two cakes on a Friday for pick up on a Monday. The young lady there fetched my cake as soon as I walked into the store after serving a few patrons. I had to ask if she remembers all her customers. Have this dude feeling special. On point!

Delicious patties. We had the chicken and conch patty along with the Bahamian signature dessert called Guava Duff. Tasty and affordable prices. Not to be missed!

One of my favourite stops on the Cable Beach strip

Tasty little shop on Westside. Get there early many folks come and grab all the good pieces

The lemon meringue and the salted caramel are to die for!!! The lady was so sweet and helpful in directing us for which gelato was gluten free. Best gelato on the island

Cute little Gelato shop that serves mouth watering flavors. Loved the Chocolate Gelato's intense flavor. Also tried their Gelato stuffed in the Bun which was an interesting twist.

Hands down the best dark chocolate gelato! Blueberry was good too.

Try the "sex in your mouth" gelato pastry! It is to die for! Not many places serve authentic Italian gelato... this is the real stuff! Sara, the owner, is awesome and treated us like family. We even got a selfie with her after sharing stories about Italy. We WILL be back to see you!! Definitely will be our primary reason for getting off the Royal Caribbean ship at Nassau. ❤ Worthy of a "mouth-gasm"

Had the Strattiochella and the chessecake Gelato and both were pretty good 👍

Very tasty Gelato. Gave samples for us to try before paying. The owner is very nice and we felt right at home, with Lots of different flavors to choose from.

During my visit to the Bahamas back in January ,I came across this cute little place that not only was mouth watering to have a delight and unforgettable taste off but also got very lucky in meeting the owner, Sara Dama. She was extremely welcoming to a tourist like myself and gave me her recommendations! Which is why, I encourage anyone to visit , you won’t regret it!

At the Original Swiss Sweet Shop the cheese Danish was so fresh complimented by a decent drip coffee, all for $5.50. It's more of a grab and go place, there's just one small table with two chairs outside, not really pleasant place to sit.

The pastries here are consistently great. The prices are affordable. There may be issues with parking sometimes.

Picked up some meat patties, strudel and apple turnover. Meat patties hit the spot with a nice hint of spice to heat things up. Strudel and turnover were great! No complaints here.

Small and jam packed with a wide variety of pastries, breads & desserts. Mostly Euro with some Bah inspired offerings. Very helpful smiling Staff. Prompt with special orders. I have my favorites, but you can find items, savory to sweet. Enjoy.

The cake itself taste good ,but one slice of cake had a ton of filling was not too much cake just icing. I called prior requesting light on the filling because I remembered the last on was filled with heavy filling. They said okay ! we are here a plate of icing. The Birthday fella didn't enjoy his bday cake disappointing .

The veggie patties are so good. The best and most affordable quick lunch on isalnd. The baked goods are great also (obviously) and super friendly staff!

Best bakery in Nassau. Great scones, coconut bread, cookies! Family can't wait to get here every year when we come to the Bahamas

The guava cheesecake was soooooo good... rich, creamy and delicious! Definitely worth the treat.

Great ambience this would be a great place for a casual date

Blown away by the beauty of this spot. Truly feels like stepping in to heaven.

A MUST STOP if you're a dessert lover. Original cheesecake flavors based on local and international fruits daily. A number of pastries and breads are available - you can't go wrong.

The ambience is very peaceful and inviting! Their display makes any mouth waters. They have a variety of cheesecakes and salads. A seating area if you wish to dine in! Absolutely LOVE this place!!

I do not know if you guys changed your recipe for your cherry cheesecake slices, but my entire house, straight down to my mother was sick on Mother's Day yesterday. From eating your cheesecake. This is extremely disappointing as we are repeat customers. Thought also it might have been ours, but the one I bought for my aunt, she advised also that it tasted funny. Please do better.

I had the most AMAZING experience ever. Let me start off by saying this is my first time on the island 🌴 I have travelled many places and have never encountered an experience like this one. Based on the google reviews, I sought out to get my mom a cheesecake from Cheesecake Heaven (it’s my mother’s bday and reason for this trip.) We took a bus, rather late and on our way back we were cutting it short to make it back to our hotel. Besides the eclair and DELICIOUS cheesecake (we got the macadamias delight 🤤) we ran into the owner, who offered us a ride back!!! because it was too late and dark to be out. It was the kindest and sweetest gesture ever, I cannot thank them enough. Jameel and Andy, I am forever in your favor. Next time I’m on the island I will make another stop. To anyone who want delicious cheesecakes, with stellar ownership, come here! Both the the service and food was delightful, again thank you! 💕

You may be caught off guard walking in as it’s not a traditional ice cream parlor set up. Everything is made to order and delicious. Combinations to suit every ice cream fan.

We visited while vacationing for our honeymoon! By far the BEST experience we had during our entire visit. All the employees were helpful, laughed with us, and kept us entertained. Very knowledgeable about the ice cream flavors, and actually talked to us!! We will be back!!

I just tried to go here for an ice-cream. The buzzer for the door was broken and the staff really did not seem to want to serve us. They kept buzzing the door but the door didn't open. When the staff finally realised they'd need to come to the door to let us in they were extremely rude. I heard the ice-cream here is delicious but I just wasn't prepared to put up with that level of disrespect and be charged $7 minimum!

Great hidden gem. Rolled ice-cream is delicious. Good selection of flavours, but not too many which was good. Friendly staff. We had vanilla ice-cream with strawberries and Nutella and also vanilla with guava and caramel. Delicious!

Just walked out and the customer service was amazing and it was extremely busy. Even though it was busy they were still accommodating and even broke down to me how to design my own ice cream as a 23 year old 😂. And the price is not too bad considering the area.

Delicious! Went twice in our 5day stay! Try the ube flavored ice cream

This was my first visit to Pulpy's. Sunday's seem to be very busy. My son and I waited about 55 mins for our order. However, the wait was worth it. I had the Guava Caramel with pecan topping and my son had plain vanilla. They were both great and we'll definitely be taking the whole family next time. If you haven't tried Pulpy's yet, I recommend that you do!

Oh Sugar Cereal Bar is a really sweet tooth treat. Never even knew they existed till a few weeks ago. So many options to make your sweet-tooth dreams come true. Pleasant customer service but on a busy afternoon, a team of 2 makes the wait time very long. The process to create the treats are involved and you can choose from a pre-set menu or create your own ice cream cereal concoction. Very unique treat idea in Nassau. You should try them out.

Awesome service and the ice cream is AMAZING!!!! I Iove it here!

Very pleasant and fast service

Love it here I can get my favorite cereal with ice-cream keep it up

It was a truly a delightful treat.
