Was in the mood for some dessert on a Sunday afternoon and came across Afters Dessert Bar and I’m glad I did. It was excellent. The owner was great and his dog who’s there on the weekends was fun to play with. Sat there for 30 minutes watching a football game while drinking coffee and eating some dessert. My favorite bite was definite the salted caramel chocolates

Highly recommend the cookies, they aren’t too sweet and have good depth of flavor! I got 2 of each in the 1/2 dozen. The cookies are relatively smaller but perfect size for a sweet treat after a full dinner. The owner also has a very cute dog.

Solid desserts, but I was overall not particularly impressed with the offerings here. I came for after dinner treats. It was a bit confusing walking in – there are multiple places that two different menus are. It was visually not appealing or easy to grasp. It is not great when you have to ask what they have and where things are in a bakery.
The cornmeal pound cake was pleasant, the cookie cakes were nice, as were the cookies, but for me personally, they weren’t something I’d come back for to eat again.

We bought a couple deserts for some friends we were having over and each one blew us away! Really high quality, absolutely delicious! Special shoutout to the cheesecake, cinnamon bun and cookie bites and Dap the dog! Highly recommend if you are hosting or just looking for a delicious sweet treat!

Popped in at the right time yesterday. Got a scone, cookies and got to try a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was the perfect texture! Prices were perfect for size and quality.

My mom and I were in Durham for my 21st birthday and decided to grab some scones before our candle-making class. We’re from a small town, so scones were new to us—but wow, we were blown away. We tried the cheddar and herb, apple cinnamon, and brown sugar ham scones, plus the special of the day, and every single one was incredible. We even went back for more! The cookies were just as amazing—soft, rich, and unforgettable. I go to NC Central, so I’ll definitely be a regular once the semester starts. Thank you for an amazing experience!

When you first walk in, you are greeted by the most friendly dog ever. His name is Dap. The owner is equally as friendly, and his desserts were very tasty! It was freshly made.

Everything here is amazing. I recently got a scone and a Boston cream pie. The flavors were incredible. I think the Boston cream pie was a special for Pi day but I really hope they have it again.

Afters has amazing desserts! If you love chocolate, this is your place! They put a fun spin on things like cookie cake by the slice, “thunks”, and more too.
