THE CHOU IS SOOOOO GOOD. I think that's what I ordered, hopefully so! I got the coffee, pandan, milk tea, Thai tea, ube, and pistachio! I really like the Thai tea and ube UGHHH so good. I like the texture of the outer and inner breading and the softness of the cream They don't have a half dozen or dozen deal. They sell it individually read more

Coffee choux, pandan choux is killer! Seriously this place is in the wrong location if it was in a better strip with easier access it will have better foot traffic. Service is always friendly! Ambiance is very clean, they have nice display of bakery items and the decor is very tasteful. Honestly I love their choux it's worth $3-4 hands down. Delicious! read more

The shoux pastry!!! I got one of every flavor and they are SO GOOD! Especially, the "asian flavored" ones. Pandan & durian were my favorite.

One bite of their pastries and you can immediately tell they are true professionals in their craft. We came specifically for their canele pastry, but also grabbed a few choux (cream puffs!) Delicate, but crispy bite followed with airy, soft, and delicious filling. Just great great flavors and execution of what they do here. Not to mention, the two owners were super nice and welcoming. Took the time to speak with my family and gave us samples. A type of local business that deserves the support and praise. read more

I ordered two of the two layered 10 inch number cakes for my mom's birthday as well as a durian cake and they were a huge hit at my mom's party. My Vietnamese aunties and uncles are usually very picky when it comes to dessert and surprisingly everyone loved the cakes from here. It was not too sweet and the cake was moist. They were also beautiful. Highly recommend read more

A hidden gem! I was in the area and decided to stop by for some dessert. The store was nice and clean with cute decor. Service was quick and friendly. There was a great selection of drinks, cupcakes, choux, and tarts. I mainly came for the choux, so I got the matcha, pandan and ube ones. I love that there were so many unique flavors -- even durian! The choux was delicious and not too sweet. I would definitely come back and try other pastries. read more

Really cute small place, great pastries! The durian choux is creamy, and not super strong and pungent. I'm ok with that! Small amount of little cakes ready for your convenience. But to be safe call in advance to set a cake & flavor. It's a small bakery so be considerate! Parking available right in front! Check hours or call before coming if you're unsure! read more

I love the pastries and cupcakes here. The cake is very moist and the flavors are very unique and great tasting. You definitely need to try the choux. They are crispy on the outside with cream filling inside. I heard they also use fresh lychee juice to make their lychee cupcakes, but honestly I can't really taste the lychee flavor. Their macaroons are also very good, but again when I try the lychee, I don't taste the lychee flavor. I also ordered a cake for my birthday which I regret not taking a picture of it. I think it's better just to order a celebration cake (2 layer cake with cream and fresh fruit) for $45 rather than a custom made cake. I'm not sure if it's the baker or if it's the supplies that they don't have to make the cake look more professional. The outside did not taste like White Chocolate Ganache. The cake did not look the same as the picture I presented, only had a similar design, however the colors were not the same. The picture I presented had more of a pale pink ombré color and they made it a Barbie pink ombré color. I would not recommend to get a custom made cake here unless you want a generic cake, but definitely come by to try their pastries. read more

The choux here was soooo good!!!! We got 4 flavors-the pistachio, ube, pandan. and mango. Oh em gee, they were all delicious!!!! The pandan was my personal favorite. Really spot on with the pandan flavor. The ube was prob my least favorite just cause the flavor was so subtle. The customer service was great. I can't wait to come back to try their other treats and flavors! read more

The cakes are love at first bite. Both the mango passion fruit and lychee flavors are my favorite. Not overly sweet and will definitely please your guests. Julie uses real lychees for the lychee cake so it doesn't taste artificial. If fruity cakes or cakes in general are not your jam, there are other pastries and flavors you'll enjoy! read more

We were driving by and then my mom looked out the window. She said, "Sophie, look how cute that place is! You can't even see through it!" Our curiosity got the better of us, and we decided to go in. My mom and I decided to order three of the choux pastries. We ordered the pandan, mango passion, and strawberry guava flavors. We couldn't wait to try them! After we got back into the car, we immediately ripped open the box and tried them! Each choux pastry was delicious! The outsides had a slight crisp to them, while the inside was so creamy, silky smooth. The three flavors we had were so good, I couldn't choose a favorite! The next time we are near, I am definitely coming back, and I think you should too! This place has high quality desserts to die for! So tasty!! read more

The shoux and macaroon were very flavorful and yummy! Service was nice. I loved the decor!

I finally tried this cute French bakery and I'm glad I did! We tried the raspberry financier cake slices, chocolate croissants and the pistachio and ube choux . They were all delicious! I like that the pastries were not too sweet. So many flavors of choux cream pastries to choose from. The young staff was really nice too. I will definitely come back to try the other choux flavors. Please try Dessiere, you won't regret it. read more

I'm very disappointed and upset about the number bday cake I ordered for my 1 yo. I saw the reviews and thought would like to give it a try because the number cake looks really cute. After the discussion with the staff, I decided to order the puff-number cake, so supposedly it should look like the first picture but it turned out like........ it was my husband picking up the cake, so he was confused when he saw the cake, but didn't say anything because he didn't know what it supposed to look like. When we saw the cake at my daughter's bday party, everyone laughs, and was like.... Is it for the kid's bday cake or for bachelorette party... Thought the puffs do taste good, but this is way offff read more

Good cream puffs awesome delicious flavors. I got the passion fruit and the pistachio one. Outside crust slight crunch inside was the sweet creamy goodness. My daughter got the Nutella or hazelnut cupcake. I wasn't a big fan of it. The icing wasn't too sweet but also not strong on the hazel nut flavor. The cupcake was a bit dry & hard. There wasn't that many cupcake flavors available. Price was good. Service was friendly and nice. read more

The staff were nice and their choux were decent. You can try different flavors compared to other places.

I had been wanting to go here for the longest time... and my first taste came by when my dad picked up some goodies for me because I'm stuck at home with a newborn. As such, this review is based on what I ate when I got the goods. From what I know, this is a French-Vietnamese family owned bakery. That immediately got my attention. I LOVE FRENCH BAKED GOODS AND SWEETS and I still think about all the breads and pastries I gorged on when I was in Paris. French sweets are decadent and perfectly sweet though not exactly vegan-friendly. Sadly, I haven't found baguettes like the ones there even at a French-owned bakery, but I blame it on the difference of water. :) My dad got 3 choux - yuzu, pandan, and coffee - as well as a pandan cupcake and two tarts (chocolate and raspberry). My thoughts? - Choux: not as big as I thought they would be but they're delicious. There's a sweet, lightly crunchy layer over your typical choux and topped with a silky smooth cream and delicious filling that obviously reflects the flavors they are supposed to be. Perfect amount of sweetness and it made me want more. Perhaps that was helped by how each treat was quartered so everyone could have a taste. They were $3 each. - Raspberry Tart: the pastry case was perfect, there was a thin frangipane-type filling (I LOVE FRANGIPANE) with cream and topped with raspberries. It was an amazing balance of sweet and tart. I actually loved this flavor more due to the contrast. - Chocolate Tart: another perfect pastry casing with silky chocolate filling topped with beautifully piped chocolate cream. This had a more bittersweet chocolate flavor (which I love) but was more one dimensional than the previous tart. It was still delicious and excellent for chocolate lovers. - Pandan cupcake: it had a hint of coconut and the cupcake reminded me of a certain Vietnamese dessert, though not quite. It also had that melt in your mouth (butter?)cream topping. Quite delicious as well, but not as wow. I love that cream topping though. I need to figure out the recipe because I typically am not a fan of frosting/cream but I can definitely get behind that. Here, I'd like to note that the tarts are $6 each, so a bit on the pricey side, but definitely doable for a special occasion or cheat day. They also have canneles but we abstain from alcohol so that was not an option for us. Sad, since I've always wanted to try them. A trip here can get pricey, especially if you try one of each. They change the menu every weekend and are only open Friday through Sunday at this time. I can't wait to personally go back and try their other flavors as well as their macarons. Definitely a must-go place if you've never been and also a place to visit when in the area. read more

Short dessert menu but that probably means they specialize in banh choux, macarons, and a few tarts and cupcakes. Though small, the choux carries a HUGE helping of cream inside. I tried one of each flavor of cream puffs. The cream to pastry shell ratio is so different from other places. How do they keep the delicate shell from breaking apart against the whipped choux cream inside? Everything is slightly sweet. I liked the yuzu citrus and the pandan cream puffs. Pro Tip: if you're refrigerating the cream puffs to enjoy the next day, scrape off the buttercream icing on top and pop them in the oven/air fryer on low heat, 200 degrees, for 4 minutes to crisp up the shell. read more

Well its different. The canele. The cream puffs are just your average puff. If the price was right, this would be a nice go to dessert place. But the price for the size will just scream not worth it after one visit. Not worth $32 for 10 pieces. *bottlecap for scale. read more

My first experience eating choux was at Desseire I love their cream puff choux cause the cookie crumble top is so good and the cream isnt too sweet. I haven't tried their cupcakes or other items but the cashier informed me about their new items. I also noticed they have drinks now like matcha and coffee lattes, definitely have to try them out some time. The place is small but they have a variety of dessert selections. read more

Came here after seeing them on Instagram. I got two chocolate choux puffs and two coffee choux puffs for $3 each. You'd think the coffee ones would be the white cream (and the brown dust, expresso powder) but they were actually chocolate. The place is pretty spacious. Just a long display counter and empty standing room. They're only open Fri-Sun which is a drawback. Both puffs were filled to the brim with cream and were sweet but not overly sweet. They held up great the whole day (purchased them around noon and didn't open the box to eat them until past 7pm). Looks like the flavors change weekly too so there's a variety which is nice. Would definitely come back here if I'm craving something sweet or need to bring dessert to an event, they're so pretty to look at! read more

We read mostly positive reviews on Yelp and Facebook; decided to give it a try on a Friday where we arrived at 4 pm. The lady in the front was friendly and there was no one ahead of us. We ordered 1 pandan puff, 1 sesame puff and 2 caneles. I am a HUGE fan of pandan and was so looking forward to the puff. I was told they used the pandan essence instead of fresh/frozen leaves. I can tell since the color is too artificial. The taste was so subtle and the filling was a bit runny. The big disappointment was the caneles since the exteior was hard and the interior was dry. It was so different from those we had in France. We even shared the 2nd one with our French neighbor and he was disappointed too. We ended up contacting the shop owners and was told they will investigate on what went wrong and issued a refund. I went to a Facebook foodie page and saw a couple of folks commented on the hard texture. I'm guessing the texture would be different whe fresh out of the oven. The center should be custardish too. We purchased at 4 pm and perhaps that was the issue. We also given 2 macarons and they were super sweet. Hope to go back and try everything one more time. read more

While bringing Bebe to meet with his girlfriend Mai Lan today, we visited a newly opened French Dessert place called desseire on Bellaire. The store is operated by a French Vietnamese family from Paris. Vanessa spoke to super nice Olivier and Julie in French the whole time to make them feel at home. We somehow feel it's a pleasure for us to make people who moved to the lovely city of Houston feel welcomed. We bought a variety of French Desserts as gift and some for ourselves. We have tried the Pandan Chou and Cupcake and they are both amazing! We would like to introduce them to the Houston community so people can go show their support for this family owned small business. read more

I finally got to try this place. Great price for French dessert in Houston! Bought 3 macrons they didn't have the perfect top like other places but tasted good and great deal per. I was disappointed that they didn't have any croissants but ok. I tried their cream puffs with the cookie top ok but found it better elsewhere but this is half the price and more exotic flavors!! read more

I like the durian macaroons! The cupcake was too sweet for me. The puff was good! read more

Small place at the corner of a bit of a run-down plaza in Belliare Chinatown but a diamond in a rough. I was introduced to this place by a friend and I liked it since then. They have macaroon flavors that aren't that common like pandan and durian (which I both love). Customer service is great although I think they should make a lot of boxes before the store opens since it takes some time to bag them... Overall, I'd be coming back to try out new desserts which I hope they'll make more of in the future. read more

Easy to order custom cakes. Ube and mango-passion are my favorite flavors. Choux are also very good - be careful though that you don't leave it in your car in the summer even for a short period of time - I found out one batch I bought once went bad cuz of this after I made a stop on the way home. Obviously not the fault of the shop. This place is amazing. Prices are fair for the top notch quality. Choux/cupcake flavors are awesome and great variety. Very personable owner/chef too. I would not go anywhere else for custom cakes in Houston. read more

Hidden gem for sure!! It's located right next to Golden Dim Sun but facing bellaire! I came around 2PM on a Sunday, lots of things were out but saw how great the reviews were, we had to give it a shot! Plus if you truly love pandan flavoring, the cupcakes are SO WORTH IT! I wish I had gotten more! There was only 1 left by the time it was my turn to order. It was a one man operation, so be patient with them...they're trying to find their flow. I also had the canelé, reminds me of bánh bò nớng, with a splash of alcohol and more texture! He even recommended air-frying it if you wanted some crispy action when home. The flavors/texture on the macaron are spot on, but just a touch tooo sweet for me! read more

They had a soft opening this weekend so there is only a few selections of desserts. The prices are very reasonable and the desserts were delicious. The desserts were not overly sweet and soft as well as moist. I like the simple and cute decor here. I will be back to try more desserts and possibly order a number/letter cake from here. I really enjoyed the pandan flavored treats. It was my 1st time to have a canele and it was pretty good. Very similar to a mochi donut texture. We will definitely be back to try other desserts.

The flavors can sometimes be a hit or miss. Sometimes too sweet or not enough flavor but the overall pastries are good.

Love the cakes. I'm always able to do special order gluten-free cakes from them. The service is very warm and friendly.

This fusion of Asian flavors and French technique is literally everything I need in desserts!! Ordered the lychee celebration cake and the st honore in pandan flavor, and both were a huge hit with the fam!! The lychee cake is light and subtle and the pandan cream is a totally addictive knockout flavor. I've also tried their choux and cupcakes here. Not a bad bite in the bunch. Ordering via email was super easy...just make sure you be as specific as possible, including your cake pickup time, and everything should run smoothly! Gorgeous cakes, only to be outdone by incredible flavors. I plan on ordering a letter cake next! read more

Wow so glad that I am able to find decently priced cream puff in bellaire. Theses crispy puff are $3 each and they are on a rotating flavor. When I got there they had pandan, durian, Yuzu and coffee flavors I really wanted to try the sesame flavor but they didn't have it in rotation at the moment. More reasons for me to come back to try them. One thing I will have to say is if you are going to use gloves to pick up pastry please do not wear the same gloves to enter items in the register or answer incoming phone calls, while using the gloves and cross contaminating the pastry. Defeats the whole purpose! Other than that pastry were really good and crispy I enjoyed the flavor not to sweet. read more
