Goa nights tend to run long. The dinner stretches on, drinks flow, and conversations intensify until someone realises that you can’t quite call it a night without a sweet treat. Fortunately, Goa has an answer for that, a bunch of parlours and cafes that keep the lights on well past the point when most places have called it a night. With options spanning gelato, croissants, and other desserts, these are the spots that understand that a night cannot end until something sweet has been ordered, even in the Sunshine State. Pull up a chair, or simply lean on a dessert counter, and let the sugar do the rest.
