If you have a sweet tooth, add this Niagara-on-the-Lake spot to your list immediately. 🍫🍪
📍 The Dough Diaries in Niagara-on-the-Lake
Tucked right on Queen Street, this little dessert spot makes its treats fresh — and there are two signatures you need to know about:
🍫 Chocolate Puddle — chocolate cake drenched in Belgian chocolate
🍪 Scoopable Cookie — their signature cookie made for scooping
Our tip? Don’t leave this stop until the very end of your NOTL day. Their popular treats can sell out, so earlier is better. 👀
Definitely one to save if you’re looking for dessert spots, hidden gems or things to do in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
