Golden Dessert and Cafe
369 Douglas Ave, Providence, RI
Crema's Take
“This Providence gem balances exceptional pastries and creative desserts with surprisingly excellent specialty pizzas, all served in a genuinely warm and lively atmosphere that feels like a gathering place rather than a transaction. The staff's attentiveness—whether you're ordering through delivery or lingering over a peanut butter milkshake at a window seat—makes every visit feel personal, and their willingness to customize orders shows they're genuinely invested in getting it right. Come for the beautifully plated desserts and adventurous flavors like pistachio baklava, but don't skip the pizza; just budget accordingly, as quality here comes at a price worth paying.”

Specialty pizza’s are great here. But don’t sleep on their desert treats. Donuts, cake slices, ice cream and shakes. It’s not cheap, however the food is worth it. Expect to drop $20 per person to eat, but you’ll walk away full.
I actually only have ever ordered from here on Uber Eats. Let me tell you; they listen to their customers. I was far away from home traveling for work and wanted to send my friend sweet treats for their birthday. Usually from (other places) I order from they couldn’t care less about the deliver instructions. This restaurant is the exception and hand wrote on every box a loving birthday note. THANK YOU! That meant the world to me.
From the moment you walk in, the place feels warm, welcoming, and inviting. This was our first time here, and it absolutely won’t be our last. The desserts are not only beautifully presented but also incredibly delicious - you can tell everything is made with care and high-quality ingredients. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and the desserts are perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The café side is just as impressive. Their drinks pair perfectly with the desserts, making it an ideal spot to relax, catch up with friends, or treat yourself after a long day. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely loving, which made the entire experience even more special. They also have board games for families and I noticed ppl having lunch dates- which is an open and cool scenery. Honestly, if not for the amazing service alone, then definitely for the food - because it was truly incredible. When we’re around this area again, we will definitely be back. Golden Dessert and Cafe and Ice Cream delivers on every level, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!
Really sweet staff, accommodating and welcoming environment. Music playing in there and it’s pretty lively for being a small place. Impressed with my peanut butter milkshake and the pistachio baklava was delicious. Would return.
This place is awesome, at least for getting desserts (I have not tried their pizzas). We got a stuffed up waffle that was super delicious and a few ice cream scoops. The ice cream flavors they offer are great. I'd say their prices are not cheap nor expensive for the quality you get. Their customer service was excellent. We loved the outdoor seating area they have on top of the place; it looks cool. We can't wait to go back.
