Best Dessert in Raleigh

We have found the best restaurant for dessert in Raleigh: Hayes Barton Pharmacy.

This 50's themed, close-knit eatery oozes retro charm. Walking on a checkerboard floor, we were greeted by a black and white TV playing the Andy Griffith show. The cherry red walls and bar stools sealed the deal: this place has got spunk! The people are friendly and they serve a full menu of items, including a terrific meatloaf.

After dinner, you must visit the cake case: the best display of high calorie eating around.

We have been twice and ordered the Heath Bar cake and the Double Pecan Chocolate pie.
Both were delicious.

The Heath Bar cake has chocolate pudding layers with a terrific chocolate frosting. Don't order two slices! Four people could easily munch on one slice. Pete and I took home a good portion of it. Believe me, they are generous with their slices.

The owner said they sell about 180 slices of dessert each week! I believe it.

Tonight we ordered a slice of Double Pecan Chocolate pie. Delectable to its very core. Be sure to heat it and get a scoop of ice cream on the side. The inside of it tastes like the best brownie you've ever had with surprising spring and moisture. An absolute winner.

The diner is small though. It is probably better to go on a weeknight to really soak up the atmosphere.
