Cheap Eats: Sweet Treats

Everyone needs a sweet treat once in a while. Here are a few places to satisfy your sweet tooth and your wallet.

: For just $2 you can get a cookie and ice cream sandwich. Freshly baked cookies are paired with creamy ice cream for a portable treat. There are many options for both the ice cream and cookies and you can even choose two different cookies for one sandwich. While it is a tasty treat, it also can melt quickly because the cookies often come out warm. The line can go out the door, but moves quickly, so grab some friends and get in line. Warning: cash only.

: I love the concept of Yogurtland. It is a self-serve frozen yogurt shop where you choose how much yogurt and how many toppings you want. Then your cup is weighed and you pay per ounce. Because you fill up your own cup and determine how much you spend, you can have a little bit of everything or just a small cup of plain yogurt. While tart frozen yogurt is the new trend, Yogurtland also serves several flavors of sweet yogurts. Top off your cup with fruit, candy, nuts and syrups to satisfy your craving.

: Cupcakes have been making a big splash in recent years. Love at First Bite offers beautiful, but homey cupcakes in a variety of flavors. From those who love a simple chocolate or vanilla cupcake to adventurous foodies who crave unique flavors like matcha green tea and gingerbread there is something for every palate. At a price of $2.75-2.95 you can pick up a box for dessert.

Whether you love a gooey ice cream sandwich or cup of frozen yogurt you can always find a sweet treat in Berkeley. Where do you like to go to satisfy your sweet cravings?
