When walking into the cafeteria, I am often thinking about what is for lunch, but what’s for dessert is equally important. The dessert can make or break the meal. These are Sage Dining’s best desserts.
FIRST PLACE: Sundae Bar
The best dessert of all time is the iconic ice cream sundae bar. With an assortment of flavors including vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, oreo, and mint chocolate chip, everyone’s flavor preference is accounted for. The wide variety of toppings is bound to make everyone’s day. Typically, when the lines get long in the cafeteria, I try to just have something else. However, never will I say that about sundae day. Sage Dining, my day is absolutely made when it’s sundae bar day.
SECOND PLACE: Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
The most delectable treat comes after CKO, or on Valentine’s day. On the rare occasion that there happens to be chocolate covered strawberries for dessert, I am one happy person. They are the most delightful treat imaginable. The fruit juice combined with the smooth chocolate melts away with each bite. The two-toned chocolate tops it all off. I’ve never met anyone who can stay sad around chocolate covered strawberries, especially not from Sage Dining.
THIRD PLACE: M&M Cookies
Many members of the KO community rave about the chocolate chip cookies here, but I think the M&M cookies are even better. The best is when the cookies are a little undercooked, so they’re gooey and still warm. The sugar cookies are delightful, and the occasional oatmeal raisin cookies offer a good variety in flavors. Please, never change the recipe.
FOURTH PLACE: Seven-Layer Bars
The seven-layer bars are like pickles. You either love or hate them. I am on the love end and could rave about them for hours. The coconut pieces and graham cracker crust both provide crunch, while the chocolate filling and marshmallows on top provide a soft texture. They are a combination of sweets I would never expect to love, but I do. My face lights up walking into the lunch line and seeing my favorite treat right there.
FIFTH PLACE: Cereal Bars
While the name isn’t consistent, the delectable flavor is. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a classic, and these treats go outside the peanut butter cup idea. Taking a cereal, and mixing it with chocolate and peanut butter, then coating in powdered sugar is simply genius. The sweet and savory combination elevates my day, and my mood can’t be brought down by anything.
SIXTH PLACE: Brownies
The fluffy and moist brownies by Sage Dining are masterpieces. They are fudgy and not over chocolatey, with an even consistency every time. They don’t crumble, and the pieces are big, making the perfect dessert. My only change would be adding vanilla ice cream for a brownie sundae. Otherwise, the brownies are flavorful and satisfying for everyone with a sweet tooth.
SEVENTH PLACE: Cake
The cake at KO is a nice classic. With varying chocolate and vanilla flavors, you’ll never have too much. The fluffy texture reminds me of childhood birthday parties and innocence. The cake tastes like toy stores and stuffed animals. My personal favorite is the vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles because it truly embodies childhood memories. Thank you for the warm feelings, Sage Dining.
