Tai Tai and Xocolatl bring playful and wholesome desserts for Hyderabad foodies

Hyderabad: Desserts often mean more than just sugar and cream. For some, it’s a reward after a long day; for others, it’s a moment of celebration or comfort.

With the festive season here, the city’s dessert spots are stepping up with new flavours, healthier options and playful presentations.

Here are three places worth visiting if you’re in the mood to explore Hyderabad’s sweet offerings.

Tai Tai – Frosties and Swirls with a Twist

If you enjoy a cold treat at the end of the day, Tai Tai’s frosties and swirls might be what you’re looking for.

Their Choco Banana Peanut Butter Frosty blends banana, chocolate, and crunchy peanuts, while occasional bursts of peanut butter keep it interesting.

For something refreshing, the Lychee Frosty topped with fresh fruit delivers a clean, floral taste. Chocolate lovers can turn to the KitKat Frosty, topped with the classic wafer bar, while the Oreo and Vanilla Swirl keep it simple and familiar.

Their new Boba Teas are gaining attention: the Matcha Boba has a light, earthy profile, while the Thai Boba comes with a chai-like flavour that feels familiar yet refreshing.

On the dessert side, the Basque Cheesecake is soft and creamy, and the Trinity Pastry layers chocolate hazelnut cake with mousse for a rich bite.
