Patch Staff Report

One of Atlanta’s favorite food trucks is expanding its presence by opening a permanent location in Buckhead at 3792 Roswell Road.

Yum Yum Dessert Co., formerly Yum Yum Cupcake & More, is opening a storefront in the Powers Ferry Square complex on Roswell Road in Buckhead, just across from The IVY Buckhead. The shop is slated to open on Friday, April 11. This space is the first brick and mortar store for Yum Yum Dessert Co.

Owner Nadia DeMessa, one of the first advocates of dessert trucks in Atlanta's Food Truck movement, is whipping up more than just cupcakes for her new location. In addition to her tried and true sweet staple, Yum Yum will boast a tasty array of homemade macarons, sundaes, pastries, ice cream sandwiches and espresso drinks.

“Yum Yum has been very fortunate to build on the success of our trucks thanks to the support of our loyal customers,” said DeMessa in a press release. “I look forward to providing a permanent and convenient location to purchase our fresh, homemade desserts and Buckhead was the perfect fit for our first storefront.”
