Reta's Optimal Health & Aging RO-HA★★★On Saturday, June 20, 2026, I ate at U :Dessert Story for my birthday. We went there a little bit after 5 pm. The place wasn't busy at all. There were a few people eating there. Here's what we ordered. The Salted Egg Yolk Brick Toast, Chocolate Volcano Bingsu 🌋 and Mango Stick Rice Bingsu. The Salted Egg Yolk Brick Toast was hands down one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. The orange Egg custard sauce was delicious and the Brick Toast was warm and soft. The vanilla bean ice cream on top was the perfect addition to this dessert. Hands down the best dessert out of the 3 we ordered and def
kiki Wong★★I came with friends for dessert one evening, but it was a bit disappointing overall. When we arrived (a little late), all the toast items were already sold out. The staff didn’t inform us beforehand and just let us sit down, which felt quite unprofessional. The regular cakes were average — nothing special. The shaved ice (bingsu)was less sweet than I expected, which was actually a good thing for me, but it was served in very basic, low-quality dishes that didn’t match the café’s supposed aesthetic or price level. The biggest disappointment was the Thai Tea Mille Crepe. The sauce was not smoo
Nuria Escriva★★★★★We came here for dessert and we got the ube milk with boba and the thai tea crepe cake. The ube milk had a great flavor and this was some of the softest boba I have ever had, which I really enjoyed. The crepe had a great thai tea flavor and it was moist. I am excited to come back and try more of the crepe cakes!
TTColibrí★★★★Attentive service, great ambiance/vibes. Cant believe it’s open until 1am some nights! I’ve only tried the mango sticky rice Bingsu, which was good, but I didn’t realize how big it was! Definitely could share between 2-4 people. Main reason I won’t be able to come back often is the high price point. Our desserts were more expensive than our dinner earlier that night.
