We got the ginger milk pudding. Do think it's a bit pricey ($10) since it's an easy dessert to make but I guess it's all the theatrics. They pour the dessert in front of you and put a sand glass on top. Once sand glass is done, so is the dessert and you can even rest a spoon on top. The dessert is very smooth, barely a solid, and its ginger taste is very strong- which I like. Strong ginger but pairs well with the milk and good amount of sugar. It is a bit spicy but I like it this way. They do have a lot of other desserts as well as savory items on the menu. Intrigued by their savory menu and will definitely come back to try them next time.

Indoor has lots of seating, brightly lit, and we were able to grab a table walking in. The servers took our order and food came out not too long after. The ginger milk pudding was very gingerly and I loved it. It warmed me up! My sister liked the durian pandan mochi mango milk dessert, and it was refreshing. This is a nice spot to go to for dessert!

Taro desserts have my whole heart and the Vanilla Taro slice from Sweet Cakes in Flushing delivered…read moreexactly what I needed! The layers were light and fluffy, the taro flavor came through beautifully without being too heavy, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced, not that sugar overload you sometimes get with cake. It was just right. Decadent in the best way possible.

For a place called Sweet Cake, everything we tried wasn't very sweet.. and not in a good way of…read more"not too sweet." First, the egg tarts were so bland as if they forgot to add sugar in the recipe. Not sure if it was just an off day or if it normally tastes like that. Next, the matcha croissant was nothing special either. The flavor of the cream was barely matcha flavored, it tasted more floral with a hint of matcha. Texture of the croissant was also just average. The sweet potato mochi bread was the most stand out of the 3. There was a nice sweet potato flavor and the mochi was nice, although overall it was mostly just average as well. Hopefully it was just an off day for their baked goods, the space is relatively small but it was cozy. I could see people getting work done while there.

Spot Dessert Bar

The best dessert spot I've tried in New York, and probably in my top 5 spots overall…read more The Harvest was such a cute concept, and you get to pour a little milk tea can over the pot, which surprisingly goes really well with the "soil" cheesecake. The ube-rri was by far the most delicious mousse I've had, everything about the dessert blended so well together. There's a lot of celebrity visitors on the walls and I can see why! It's pretty tight in the seating area but they do a good job of getting people in and out. I actually do think the wait for these desserts was worth it.

We came here late (5 minutes before closing) so unfortunately we were limited on items to order…read more The blueberry cookie 6/5 Nice chewy texture (for all the cookies) but flavor was the bestt in terms of nutty (taro or ube) and fresh bluberries such a great combination! Matcha cookies Nice chocolate flavor. Didnt taste the match but a good low sweet chocolate cookie 6/10 Oreo chocolocate cookie 7/10 If you like texture and chocolate this one is for you. Definitely give the other specialty deserts a try as we couldn't order them, they look so good and is worth the hype and value/price!

Located right to Tangram mall, this dessert spot is a bit hidden and looking in, you might suspect…read morethat there's not much going on. But, this spot hides a really cozy space to enjoy some desserts with friends. Service here is pretty quick, and kind. I got their soy milk shaved ice and it was so good. The shaved ice was light and it tasted exactly like soy milk (which I love). It also came with cheese foam, ice cream, and mochi. It was the perfect dessert that wasn't too heavy or sweet. Would love to come back to try some of their other items.

Looking for a late night dessert place? This would definitely be the spot to go!…read more Whenever I am in flushing and have a sweet tooth but everything has already started to close, I always find myself at this location. Not only are they opened later than a lot of dessert places that I have found in flushing but their desserts are also great! This time around my friends and I got the Fresh Coconut Pudding with Golden Crisp Rice and it did not disappoint. Firstly, the pudding in itself was not overly sweet but had a strong coconut flavor. The texture was perfect in the sense that the pudding wasn't too hard inside and the golden rice crisp was a delicious finish on top. It added a nice crunch to the bite and also gave like a toasted coconut feel when tasted together with the pudding. The second thing we got was like a durian mango sago. I am a big fan of durian so I really enjoyed this dessert. The durian was perfectly sweet and custard and the mangos were sweet but tangy giving the dessert a little more depth. Although I only got two desserts this time around, I do want to point out that their shaved ice is not something that you should miss out on either. I have had many of the flavors and have never been disappointed. It is super fluffy and milky and just melts as soon as it hits your tongue. It is something that I order majority of the time that I dine in (they have a big variety so I just switch it up). The experience at this dessert shop is always great and since they have a call button for whenever you need a server, it feels a little more intimate and private!

Honestly, one of my favorite egg tart products I've tried in a while. This is made fresh-to-order, so I did have to wait a bit. Definitely worth it though. Each egg is $3.

My favorite part: not too sweet and doesn't make me feel fatigue after eating! The texture is like an airy mousse but sponge cake cheesecake. I have no idea how to explain, you just need to try it!!! Their cakes starts at $19.99 and up depending on other flavors or limited time flavors. We got the coconut lava and ube taro! The ube taro was our favorite because you can taste it even though it was light. The coconut is our go to, we always buy this flavor! When I went, there were free samples on their counter so hopefully you can try a little piece before purchasing a whole cake!

Non-Asian Americans would definitely find this tasteless. The Rou Song (Pork Floss) kind of compliment the cake but definitely not the sesame seeds added to it. Since this is the weekend of Lunar New Year, they also added a hong bao at the bottom of the bag. Inside is a scratch card for random freebies.

The vibe is very authentic to "lifestyle" cafes I've visited in Chongqing, which I loved, though some areas (like the restroom) felt a little run down. A major highlight is the free Hanfu try on! The Drinks: I definitely recommend the traditional teas over the milk teas. The Osmanthus Oolong teapot was my fave, it was fragrant and good quality. In contrast, the Jasmine Milk Tea lacked a bold floral punch. The desserts are rly cute and very instagrammable but the flavors are fairly average Jasmine Mousse Flower: beautiful to look at but also tasteless Bunny Pudding: Very nostalgic! It tasted just like the White Rabbit candy Mochi Set: Decent, but the cream cheese flavor was a bit too dominant in the filling Come here for the photos, the Hanfu experience, and the hot tea, but don't have high expectations for the food!

It's not really a "cake" in the traditional sense but more like a pancake-style pastry filled with sweet or savory goodness. The outer layer is lightly crispy with Taiwanese pancake fragrant, though I have to say the fillings from Money Cake could use higher-quality ingredients to match quality more at Taiwan's street stands. Still, it's such a delight to enjoy them here in NYC! My top three flavors: 1. 香芋肉鬆 (Taro with pork floss) 2. 黃金起司奶油 (Golden custard with cheese) 3. 抹茶紅豆 (Matcha red bean)

I was really excited to try this place, but I was a bit disappointed…read more My order of 5 cakes took well over 20 minutes and then they gave one if my cakes away to someone else and I had to exchange for another one thats been sitting there. When I was there it was only one person so maybe that was why it was a delay? However, onto the cakes. It lacked flavor and the texture was off. It was not as cakes or sp9ngey as I thought it was when I tried it out the box. And you have to eat it fresh! I saved one for the next day and I basically had to toss it unfortunately. Hopefully they test their recipes and in the future it will be better.

I haven't found the equivalent in NYC yet so I was excited to try this place out. We ordered the Mango Pudding and I was a little confused. First there was a lot of these coconut popping boba on top? The pudding had more of a mousse consistency than a jello consistency which is what I had originally expected and I feel like you couldn't taste the coconut as well. I'm glad however they did use fresh mango. I will probably give this place another shot when they open in Manhattan but will probably get a drink instead of a pudding next time.

The only thing youll have to wait for is if you order a drink which I did. I had the green tea coconut and it was not what I was expecting, didnt taste sweet and just taste like grass. It tasted very green. The pastry looked amazing but didnt taste that amazing. Also if you are expecting to eat with a fork, they dont have that. They do however have plastic gloves that they give you and you eat with plastic gloves on. I thought that was a bit weird and felt quite barbaric. I understand eating something like Cajun seafood with gloves on but with pastries, that was definitely a first. There are some seats upstairs and it didnt feel crowded or too busy. I wouldnt come back here though since my family and I did not find anything to be spectacular or even just acceptable.
