dessert bar
Self-serve treat counter
A dessert bar is a sweet treat baked in a pan and cut into rectangular portions—brownies, lemon bars, blondies.
The format distinguishes them from cookies (individually shaped) and cakes (served in slices or whole).
A dessert bar can also be a buffet station offering various sweets, or an establishment specializing in desserts: The new dessert bar downtown has fifteen kinds of cheesecake.
