Halloween is upon us! Costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and scary movies are consuming our thoughts. However, we are also consuming way too much candy. If you’re getting a little sick of run-of-the-mill confections, here are the top five places to get your sugar fix on High Street.
#5: Insomnia Cookies
I don’t know anyone in their right mind who would turn down a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie. Open until 3 a.m. on the weekends, Insomnia Cookies is the ideal late-night spot for a treat. Make sure to try out their classic chocolate chip and special s’mores flavors!
#4: Millions of milk tea
Prefer sipping your sweets? No problem! Millions of Milk Tea is the perfect place for a tasty, refreshing beverage. Their classic milk tea is an amazing pick-me-up that gives you the best kind of sugar high – with boba as a bonus.
#3: I scream gelato
A dessert list wouldn’t be complete without some ice cream—or gelato, for that matter! Conveniently located right near the Ohio Union, I Scream Gelato features more than just cold desserts. Their freshly made waffles and pancakes are to die for, and their espresso bar makes a killer affogato.
#2: Buckeye donuts
The dessert scene on Ohio State’s campus is dominated by Buckeye Donuts. Their seasonal pumpkin cake donut is absolute perfection, but make sure to snatch one of their cinnamon rolls or devil’s food cake donuts while you’re there!
#1: Shake No. Eight
My personal favorite on High Street: Shake No. Eight. Their specialty milkshakes are not only smooth, sweet, and unique in flavor, but their customer service is incredible! The employees are truly passionate about their products and are so kind and caring with customers. Try out one of their decadent milkshakes, a perfectly cooked crepe, or a sugary waffle stick to satisfy your sweet tooth.
