I ordered two celebration cakes, but only had a pic of the 8" mango/passion cake. The second cake was tiramisu. Both were beautiful and delicious. Everyone loved the cakes! read more

Desseire - Mango/ passion 8" celebration cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Long overdue - easy 5/5, amazing high quality French pastries with a Vietnamese tinge, one of the truly under-the-radar dessert shops around. Highly recommend everything, but their choux pastries are especially delicious and what we get every time. Lots of different flavors, and all of them are crazy good. read more

I was gifted a lychee cake from here for my birthday and it was love at first bite. I came in shortly after with a friend to check out the bakery and pick up a new flavor of cake to try. I got to meet Julie the owner and she was so sweet! Cute little bakery, excellent service, amazing cakes! I highly highly highly recommend the lychee celebration cake. Mango passion fruit was also good, but lychee couldn't be beat. Overall, Julie's Cakes are perfection. Ingredients are fresh, perfect balance of flavor, not too sweet, and the recipe is clean and crisp. The cake designs are very simple and don't look like much from first impression, but wow, first bite and you'll know, the focus is solely on taste, and wow is it a winner! My friend brought the cakes to a family dinner and it was such a hit with all the family! Universally delicious! HIGHLY recommend this bakery, and I'm so excited to try out other items going forward. read more

First time stopping by this place yesterday! Staff was great, everyone was super friendly. I tried the pandan cupcake, durian cupcake, and black sesame choux. The pandan cupcake was my favorite. It's almost impossible not to finish it in one sitting, it's so light and airy, and not overly sweet. The cream in the black sesame choux was also not too sweet. I'd definitely come back to try more! read more

Fantastic chantilly berry cake. Highly recommend!

I rarely go out so I am trying to support local and new starters. Love everything I bought today and price is cheaper than competitors imo. Their desserts are super fresh and not too sweet. Their Choux Puff pastries are a lot better than Pappa Beards because the cream has the right consistency. Pappas beards is just too runny for me. I bought Choux pastries: durian, coffee, pandan, durian cupcakes, macarons: stawberry, lychee, pandan, lychee. They have Vanilla and yuzu flavors, too for the Choux. Check out their menu. Everything baked fresh. Owner is super nice. Inside is simple yet very clean. read more

5 stars for the pandan cupcakes, 3-4 stars everything else. Apparently because people thought they were using too much food coloring in their cupcakes (which they are not, it's pandan extract from what I was told), they switched to using more pandan juice. I liked their cupcake before and it's still very good after the recipe change. I think it's actually more moist after using the juice instead. A bit on the pricey side at $3 each, but they're worth the treat every now and then. If they were cheaper, I'd probably buy them too often. I also tried the chocolate canale and the choux, which are goodish, but not worth it for the price imo as they're quite small. Also tried the durian macaron which was a bit too sweet for my liking. All in all, would definitely come back for the pandan cupcakes! read more

De-li-cious! I love French pastries and the idea to fuse with Asian ingredients such as pandan, Duran, and sesame is like fireworks on the palates. The cream recipe is perfect! Im bookmarking Desseire as one of my top 5 desert place in Houston, it took my heart read more

Friendly staff. The cream puffs were rich but not too sweet. Unique take on it I like the pastry.

Desseire is our #1 go to place for celebration cakes. We've ordered so many cakes from them, placed custom orders, everything's great. The texture is perfect, the sweetness is just right and they're always so beautiful. Everytime we get a cake for a party, everyone asks us where it came from! read more

So I've seen this place on Facebook and wanted to give it a try. This place opened at 12pm on a Sunday. I arrived at 2pm and they were completely out of everything. There were probably like 4 items left. The couple in front of me was irritated too since it was only 2pm and there was nothing left. They said they would not make more. How do you not make more when you close at 6pm?!?! I will not be returning to an establishment that does not have any dessert and don't plan on making anymore when you close at 6pm and I arrived at 2. 2 hours after your open time. read more

We practically have ordered everything on the menu from macarons, chou, pandan cupcakes, mango-passion and pandan coconut mousse cakes. Tasted all the flavors of the chou although they've newly added raspberry and mango-passion. Freshly and professionally baked French desserts no where else to be found in Houston, probably Texas, or better yet anywhere I've traveled in the U.S. My Asian tongue is never disappointed when eating the pandan, lychee, mango-passion, and black sesame flavors! Be sure to place your orders and be ready to be experience a variety of delight! Bet ya can't just eat one! read more

YES YES YES!!!!! I've tried the pandan, ube, and lychee cakes. All soooo delicious and decorated simply. Their number cakes are also sooo flaky and BOMB. Macarons and cupcakes are yummy too. Love all of their desserts! read more

Came here to try the canele, but we stayed for the choux. I think the pandan and black sesame choux were spot on with the texture and the filling. Will have to try more flavors and order more dessert sometime. The number and flower cakes looked so cute too, but will have to taste test first sometime before ordering. It wasn't clear if the cakes would taste the same as the cupcakes maybe? The decor is simple, clean, underwhelming, but the potted orchids were cool. Want more pizzazz to the place? Just add more orchids. btw, this was the former location for a local business staple called Alief Vacuum and Sewing Center which moved to the West Alabama/Sage area by appointment or home service only. read more

The choux puffs are delicious. The flavor of the cream are well developed. My favorite are the Thai tea, mango, and durian. Lychee was not to my taste. I could have done with a smaller craquelin but that's me being picky. I prefer Desseire over Pappa Beard's. read more

It doesn't get any more authentically delicious than Desseire. French influenced desserts that are elegant and scrumptious. Nothing like the mass produced places. Julie is passionate about her work and makes sure that every bite is worth it. Have tried the pandan and durian cupcakes, cream puffs, candles and lychee cake. All amazing ! Highly recommended! read more

If you haven't had the opportunity to try the delicious bites of canales, please try it here! We've been to Bordeaux, France, where these originate, and Desseire's canales rival the original. Crispy on the outside, and gooey and chewy on the inside, you can't just have one. Besides canales, there are macarons (always a must), eclairs, and my favorite, pandan everything. Pandan is this nutty Asian flavor that is quite subtle but lends to the perfect flavor in everything from cupcakes to cakes. The pandan cupcakes with the little surprise jelly in the middle is one of my favorites. Next time you're in the area, check this new place out but don't forget she also does custom orders! read more

Desseire - Pandan cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have been to this dessert place a few times. If they can change the raw metal bar edges on their door, or cap the raw metal edges since it seems to scrape me each and every time I go to this place. I doubt I will be coming back to this place until the door is fixed. Their dessert is good. The Choux puff is good, different than Papa's beards, lots of fillings, but the fillings to bread ratio seems a bit off, there is a lot of filling, almost like the whole thing is a filling with thin bread much much More fillings than the bread when compared to Papas beard. Papas beard is more bread, and not as much fillings. I like both Papas beards and this store's puff, but I think I like Papas beard more, as I like the bread to filling ratio more there. But both choux puffs are still good. I would say, I give kudos to Desseire, to have more of the Asian flavors than what you can find at Papas Beard. I also purchased the Pandan cupcake before and after the recipe change. I really liked the before recipe change pandan cupcake. It seems lighter and fluffier, but the new recipe change that I bought this past Sunday, I didn't like it as much. It is different, and seem more dry and more dense, like those American store cupcakes whereas the old recipe, it was moist and airy and fluffy and really good. I also tried their canales one time. I must have gotten one that was sitting out for a while, since the guy was hesitant to sell it to me. He shouldn't have sold it to me. The canales was hard, really hard. I wasn't able to even eat it, so I had to throw it away. I tried to heat it up at home, but it was still hard. So, not sure if Canales are supposed to be hard that it would hurt your teeth to eat it. Perhaps, if it was fresh out of the oven, it might have been better. I really want to try their cake sometime. When they finally fixed the metal bars on the door, then I will come back in person to try their cake. Overall, this is a really good dessert place. The lady owner is really nice, and the guy at the front is nice too. All the best to this new business. read more

Looking for sweets that's not overly sweet? This is it! Mousse cakes & cupcakes are so light & moist. CANALÉ! So good! Caramelized crispy on the outside & moist & custardy on the inside. The choux puffs are filled with smooth & creamy goodness! My fav is the black sesame. A must try spot! read more

Great new dessert joint in the Bellaire Chinatown district! Owned and operated by authentic French Vietnamese siblings and it shows in their French inspired treats. The highlights for me were the canales (which are hard to find in Houston). But my all time favorite is the Pandan Cupcake...with its fluffy and moist cake and perfectly sweetened lite and airy creamy topping. Yummy. (They also make large specialty cakes which I still need to try out for a special occasion or just a dinner gathering.) read more

Great store. Friendly owner and staff. Desserts have all been a hit. I get it for coworkers and for others bc im more of a savory person but even the handful of items I've tried myself are awesome. Durian menu items I will leave those to my friends ahaha. They loved them too. read more

Stopped by this soft opening. NYE. Got the pandan cupcakes, canales and assorted puffs. Pandan cupcakes looked and tasted delightful! Canales were crisp on outside and sweet and light textured inside. Simple caramel flavor which was interestingly very good. Puffs were also different from what I have had before. The creme was refreshing and the pastry was flavorful (not bland like many others) and had light crisp too. Overall will be returning to see what else they have to offer. Can't wait!!! read more

My new favorite bakery! Everything there is delicious but so far my favorite are their chocolate tarts! I love that they have new items almost every week, and flavors you can't find anywhere else! Guava/durian macarons are a few and their pandan cupcakes are divine! I hate overly sweet desserts and this place does it just right, my parents also love this place! Must try! read more

Excellent service , spectacular desserts!!! Definitely a Diamond in the ruff.Found this by mistake.

Over the holidays, I got to try a little bit of everything from here and it didn't disappoint ! My favorites were the macarons (pandan and lychee), caneles were delicious also! The choux puffs (pandan and strawberry) were also some of my favorites! Let's just say I loved everything I tried from there! If you are around the area, give this place a try.... you will love it! I will definitely be back for more! read more

Technique, styling and textures for the various desserts I tried were perfect but flavors are too subtle.

Julie makes the best French pastries! So happy for the brick and mortar store to finally be opened, so more Houstonians can taste her fine, authentic bakery goods! You'll be back for more, trust me..! read more

After visiting here once, I fell in love with the place with its minimal menu. I love that it offers a variety of Asian flavors. My favorite is the cream puff choux, especially the coffee and guava flavor, but if you're a durian lover, then that's the right one for you! I'm not even a fan of cream puffs but I've been converted because it's so flavorful! I've also tried every flavor of the macarons, but unfortunately the flavors of the filling weren't as distinct as the cream puffs. Nevertheless, I would definitely come back to order a cake or a box of cream puffs for a special occasion in the future! I highly recommend this hidden gem! read more

Have ordered here a number of times, everything from the cakes to the puffs. Everything tastes great and really matches the Asian palate, super moist cake and not too sweet (well the black sesame was but I heard they're correcting that). Wide variety of flavors that the older folks like too and the price is just right. Julie is also very friendly and accommodating; definitely the go to spot for parties lately. read more

We got mango passion cake for my birthday from here, you can really taste the fruits. It's very light, moist and flavorful. I love exotic fruits on desserts. My family favorite includes the pandan macarons, cupcakes and puff chou. I like their cream puff more than beard papa because of the variety cream flavors and textures. Need to come back to try other bakery items. read more

Stopped by a few weeks ago after reading rave reviews. It was mid afternoon on a Saturday. The service was top-notch, but I was disappointed at the small selection of available dessert items. Ordered a few cream puffs and Canales, which were delicious. read more
