My Just Desserts Menu (Update 2025)
My Just Desserts is a hidden gem in Alton, IL, offering New American sandwiches with a focus on delicious desserts. This black and woman-owned business has received rave reviews for its amazing food and excellent service. Customers love the rich flavors and generous portions of their sandwiches, salads, and pies. The Chef Salad is a standout with a heaping portion of fresh greens and toppings. The pies, including Lemon Coconut, Cherry, and Mystery Pecan, are must-try desserts that sell out quickly. The cozy atmosphere, riverside view, and attentive staff make dining at My Just Desserts a delightful experience. With a wide range of options, including vegan and vegetarian choices, this restaurant is a perfect spot for groups, families, and anyone looking for a delicious meal in a welcoming setting.
