Dessert 39 is a great addition to Annandale! The café is clean, modern, and spacious, with plenty of seating. They have a huge selection of drinks, pastries, cakes, and Korean-style desserts, so there's a lot to choose from. The desserts were fresh and not overly sweet, and the drinks were really good as well. I also liked the overall atmosphere. It's a nice place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. The staff was friendly, and everything came out quickly. I'd definitely come back to try more items! read more

Awesome salt bread! Great service and cool interior. So good and delicious.Thank you so much!

A now regular place for me, dessert 39 is my go to for sweet treats and my drink order- lychee yogurt 60%! I love to peruse the bakery items in the glass and sometimes i grab a bread or two :) they have both savory and sweet baked goods for any occasion. It's very easy to park (they also have additional parking), easy to order (they have added a second cashier since opening), and love the vibes. I also always take a quick picture with the camera each visit hehe. I would love if they add more seasonal/rotation bakery items! read more

I really want to try their mango bucket cake so I went and I was surprised at the variety of different cakes that they had on display. Next time I'm here I really want to try the Ube cake, but all of their cakes look very beautifully decorated, perfect for a birthday or a small celebration. The mango bucket cake was really good because they chose really fresh mangoes and it is between layers of cake and cream. While I think a yellow cake would have been better with the mango it was still really good. read more

Seen this place on social media, got drinks and some pastries with friends. They just weren't good, and either lacked flavor or had bad flavor. Wanted to try their bingsu but they didn't have it or were unable to make it. Chairs are uncomfortable and weird. Bathroom was nice. 5/10 overall. read more

Another find visiting my daughter. Apparently this place is popular in Korea. Cool vibe, you order using a Kiosk, good prices, a variety of options including cold desserts. Here's what we ordered: Black sugar milk tea - 8 out of 10 Misugaru latte - 9 out of 10 Strawberry yogurt smoothie - 8 out of 10 Artic watermelon - 8 out of 10 Cute place, will be back when visiting my daughter. 8 out of 10 for me. Enjoy! read more

Salt bread was very good. Tasted fresh and buttery the creape cake had multiple layers and was very yummy green tea and chocolate. The small green tea Taco had good flavor, but the shell tasted like it had been sitting for a while with the ice cream in, it was soft and soggy. Overall very good nice ambience and lots of seating. Good vibes for a late night sweet treat. read more

I'm so happy I was able to visit this cafe after its opening! It was still so crowded on one of the hottest summer days.. but even on a Saturday, I g it my drink quick. The parking situation wasn't great but I think there's more spots in the back. I got their large and it's LARGE! The Jeju matcha was so good. Their matcha was bitter which I liked. The cream was nice too. There were a lot of seating and I actually really liked the high stools by the giant bunny. I'll have to go back for their bingoo in a bucket! A lot of customers ordered their mango! read more

Another good Korean bakery in option for pastries and cakes. The strawberry cake was delicious, with the right amount of sweetness. So far my favorite is the matcha roll cake; it was light, fluffy, and not overly rich. We've either stopped by right when they opened or shortly before closing, so we haven't had a chance to see their full selection of pastries. We'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. read more

Hip interior, lots of seating and they're open late yayy. Perfect dessert spot. We got the strawberry bingsu and it was good! Fresh strawberries, icecream, and mochi was so nice. I would recommend a crunchy topping as well like almond slivers. There was just way too much syrup though, like spoonfuls of pure sugar. Wish they had more unique options that make their menu standout. read more

This is one of our go to dessert spots! I highly recommend the bingsoo dessert because it is a large portion perfect for 2 and the flavors are not too sweet. We enjoy the little photo booth at the front entrance and the interior is very cute. The staff are friendly and the selections of desserts are great. read more

I originally went during their soft opening with my daughter. The design is beautiful and the customer service was great. I went on a Friday so it was a bit crowded but it was cool. I wasn't sure how it worked at first but quickly figured it out. We got a tray and browsed the displays. We got Korean hotdogs, a dark smores cookie, and a chocolate dessert and green tea dessert with cream filling. I'm not sure of the proper name. The gentleman at the register suggested adding a topping like ketchup or mustard to the corn dog but we tried them as is and loved them. They had sugar on them and were so good. The cookie was delicious too. We both liked the outside of the cream dessert but not the actual filling. Since their soft opening, we have been back twice to try different items. I really enjoyed their layered chocolate cake. I also wish the strawberry cake came in slices instead of having to buy the whole cake. I also have not tried any of their drinks but I want to. Overall, I've had a good experience each visit. read more

Went in on a Monday (5/18) with a friend. It was pretty packed but still with fast service. We ordered strawberry bingsoo, lychee yogurt smoothie, and the strawberry matcha smoothie. They were all yummy and very affordable. I left my sunglasses in the restroom and forgot about it until an hour later. The general manager went through the entire footage (over an hour worth) and looked everywhere for my sunglasses. Confirmed that I went into the restroom with my sunglasses and left without them. Checked everybody that went in after me. They even let me come in after hours to check myself. Although we couldn't find my sunglasses, I really appreciated their help! TO THE PERSON WHO STOLE MY SUNGLASSES FROM THE RESTROOM: I hope you step on legos every day, stub your toe every time you walk by a coffee table! Please return my sunglasses :,( read more

Dessert 39 started their soft opening early April and was still in this phase when we went last Wednesday after dinner. Most pastries were out by the time we arrived, so I'd definitely recommend coming early if you can! Between the two of us, we split a roll slice and got our own salt bread. GREEN TEA TOKYO ROLL SLICE - 6 I like more cake than cream, and this roll slice was 90% cream and 10% cake. While it wasn't too sweet, my friend and I left 40% of the cream. Not worth it for the price. SALT BREAD - 3.39 I'm glad salt bread is starting to pop up in the area. For the price, it's pretty solid. However, it's not as crispy as I hoped, a bit too dense for my liking. But I'm willing to overlook this since we did buy it an hour before closing. I imagine it'd be better fresh out of the oven. AMERICANO (VENTI) - 4.90 Initially, I wanted their grande (4), but they said they only had venti. I'm unsure why they didn't have their grande size available -- an Americano is literally just espresso shot + water + ice. Their coffee is made using Onyx beans, which is bougie, but I appreciate good quality coffee. However, the Americano tasted kind of burnt, which wasn't great. It was worth a visit, but I'll wait until they're opened longer before coming back. The ambiance is unique, more modern -- the chrome and silver decor can be a bit overwhelming, but that aesthetic is what draws in so many people! read more

I had some free time on my day off, so I decided to check this spot out since it's been all over instagram. I figured the hype would've died down by now, but when I came on a Saturday around 2 PM, the parking lot was still packed. they share parking with other stores, so we ended up parking by the paint shop next door. They have a few outdoor tables and some indoor seating. I was expecting a bigger bakery selection, and the huge bear decoration in the middle takes up a lot of space.... The place definitely looks like they invested a lot into the decor. Overall, I didn't really love most of the items I got, and I'd probably just go to Tours les Jours down the street instead. The choco twist was really good though! read more

Very modern, futuristic looking bakery & cafe with surprisingly affordable pastries. Drinks are health-focused and aren't super sweet. Default sweetness is 60%, and if you think that is still too much for you then you can always adjust. Sizing of the drinks here is interesting- only venti or trenta which is big size and even bigger size lol. There are no smalls here! The trenta you can probably share between two people. I got the trenta to try and for the aesthetics of my photos but it was a lot to drink for one person. The tokyo rolls are very yummy and the whipped cream that's in it is very light. The interior is extremely spacious in here with indoor and outdoor seating. They pay attention to detail here. Even your utensils come in cute custom store packaging and there are even wet wipes in addition to the napkins to use. A spot i'll add to my rotation of spots for sure. read more

Stopped by Dessert 39 to check out the new bakery and wow--this place is beautiful. The interior is clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a little escape the moment you walk in. We tried a variety of pastries, and honestly... every single one was delicious. Perfectly balanced flavors, not overly sweet, and everything tasted fresh. It's rare to go somewhere new and have zero complaints, but this was truly a "no notes" experience. If you're into Korean-style desserts or just looking for a spot that delivers both aesthetic and quality, this one is absolutely worth the visit. Definitely coming back to try more. read more

Dessert 39 is the first U.S. location, and has taken over what was once Manoa Bakery. We were super excited about them opening, and decided to trek out to try out their drinks and pastries! Just like any other Korean bakery, you grab a tray and line it up with the parchment paper; grab a pair of tongs and choose from their selection - we went for: +the salt bread +a pecan cluster cookie +the salt bread loaf - definitely our favorite, especially when it comes right out of the kitchen +and, a cream-filled donut (from their refrigerated section) For the drinks, the soft opening is only offering one size (the Venti); they have coffee, frappes, ades, smoothies, signature lattes/milk teas, ice tea, and even low cal options for lattes and smoothies. We ordered: +the Jeju Matcha Latte +the Banana Kick Milk Latte +and, the Peach Green Apple iced tea All were requested with light ice and were well-prepared; however, the lattes, while milky and creamy, can be inconsistent, as we found some of the drinks with the sugar not fully blended it - we ended up swallowing sugar granules, which is not that great. The iced tea was refreshing - the first time, it was a bright neon green color; on the next visit, it was the usual brown tea color, which was interesting; both times, it was tasty. Can't wait for their jumbo-sized reusable cup to be available! Staff and service were both kind and friendly! The place had a good amount of seating arrangements; the silver decor and the clean aesthetics were great! The place does get packed, and the long lines have been pretty consistent. Parking is available in the small shared plaza lot, but it can be pretty tight! +refreshing drinks +friendly and kind staff +seating available +tight parking read more

While I appreciate the aesthetics here, I wasn't feeling their pastries or drinks. The boba was undercooked and the pastry case didn't look appealing. Most things looked dry/stale like they'd been there a while which was surprising giving how many people were in the store. I tried their Tokyo Roll just to justify the 1 hr line but the cream seemed off and I didn't finish it. The potential is there though! They are still in their soft opening though and I know they're big in Korea so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and try again...just maybe in a couple months after the line dies down a bit. read more

Very cute fun and bubbly boba spot with a large selection of drinks. Service is fast, they're well staffed and super helpful! They market as a premium dessert boutique and they really hit the mark. It's a Korean chain so lots of Korean cake flavours and styles to choose from with reusable cups for drinks! What's not to love ? read more

TLDR: Worth a visit. The best thing about this place is their ambiance! Very spacious and lots of room for studying / cafe dates! The aesthetics are modern yet cozy! The pastries were okay, we got the almond croissant and the creme filled donut, and they're definitely on the sweeter side. The Tokyo Roll was really good as well. The drinks shined out the most with unique yet yummy flavours! read more

Super cute cafe with pastries and desserts. Music is slightly louder side but still super nice and I think I would still be able to do some studying here. There is plenty of parking available. The pastries are super tasty and unlike any I've tried from other places. They had corn dogs in the case and cute photo ops inside. The peach mango tea was good! 60% sweet was still a bit too sweet for me. I'll try 30% next time. Service was good. I saw staff refilling pastries in the cases and they helped me pick out a tea to try. read more

A new bakery to add to the rotation - this replaced the former Manoa. We went during soft opening and there was a line out the door. There needs to be 2 cashiers - line is held up due to check out. Bread smelled delicious the moment you walk through the door and there are plenty of options. We tried several different assortments and everything was delicious, especially the salt bread loaf. We also tried a couple of drinks - wish the drinks were less sweet (more Asian style). Love misugaru and great to have a latte option but it was very sweet. Plenty of seating in the cafe and the staff is all very accommodating and pleasant. We'll be back! read more

Another bakery in Annandale, but definitely unlike the others. The atmosphere: Dessert 39 has a sleek chrome and silver theme with touches of greenery throughout the space. It is much larger than many other bakeries in the area and offers a good amount of seating. Parking is limited! The food: They offer unique pastries you would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. I loved the custard-filled churro and the Green Tea Roll Cake. The roll cake had such a light, airy cream that made it addictive. I just wish there had been a better cake-to-cream ratio, since most of it was cream. The croissant was delicious, flaky, and perfect for sharing. I also ordered the Strawberry Yogurt Latte, which was refreshing and delicious. The service: Since I visited during the soft opening phase, it was extremely packed. The line took about 30 minutes, and we spent another 45 minutes inside between checkout and waiting for our drinks. I would definitely come back once the lines calm down. I also appreciated the owner coming around and offering us samples of the omelettes. read more

Decided to check this place out for its soft opening on a Friday afternoon, and it was super packed. The earlier sort opening during the middle of the week was nearly empty, and I kinda wish I had gone before. We tried some roll cakes, cappuccino, and strawberry yogurt smoothie. It was pretty good. Gotta say the bakery/cafe is very hip and modern looking, especially compared to the old Manoa space that Dessert 39 took over. Everything here looks new, light, open, and shiny! FYI, for the hot drinks, it's one size only cup for now. read more

It took a little over 30 minutes to wait in line, pay, get my drink. But the employees were nice. I think they were just short staffed. First time the pastery was good and the drink was watered down. This time the drink was decent but bread not so much. Later the line ended up going to the door, with one register open.. felt bad for the employees.... the interior is nice! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday evening after dinner and had a really enjoyable experience. I'd been wanting to try their famous salt breads for a while. When we first arrived, they had already sold out of most of their breads and only had a few cakes and pastries left. Luckily, after waiting just a couple of minutes, a staff member brought out a fresh batch, so we were able to try them warm. They recently introduced a U.S. menu, and I really enjoyed the blueberry yogurt smoothie!! It was refreshing without being overly sweet. We also ordered the bingsu, which was the perfect size to share between 2-3 people and reasonably priced. The strawberries tasted fresh, and the combination of flavors was light, balanced, and refreshing. I'd definitely like to come back to explore more of the menu. Around 9 p.m., they dim the lights, which creates a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. It feels like a great spot to catch up with a friend, unwind after dinner, or simply enjoy dessert without feeling rushed! read more

Great dessert from a Korean cafe/bakery. Very chic interior design and they have an inflatable bunny which attracts a lot of young kids. There is a variety of pastries and cakes and coffee/tea for purchase. We go to tous les jours nearby a lot so I think they are pretty much complementary. Parking is tight and it's not the easiest turn from little river turnpike when it's rush hour or on the weekend. But other than that will recommend! read more

delicious bucket cakes - we had the strawberry chocolate one, even though we really wanted to try the mango one. It was so good, I plan to get a cake from here for my birthday! my daughter had preordered the mango one, but upon arriving, her order was not available so she had to take the strawberry one but the manage was so nice he gave her 2. She said the place was clean and inviting. read more

The aesthetic in here is really nice! I love how there's plenty of comfy seating, bright lighting, and lots of greenery along with the large cute bunny decor at the front. The workers are nice and our drinks came out fairly quick. The pastries and drinks themselves were alright. A lot of the pastries had way too much cream and not enough flavor. My friends did not enjoy their tart mango drinks. The strawberry drink tasted more just like milk. This is a nice hangout spot with friends, however the menu items can definitely improve. read more

Exceptional service! Really enjoyed visiting Dessert 39 for the first time. The location is really easy to get to and has parking outside. The decorations are very plant forward. It's tropical vibe inside that is relaxing. It's very spacious with lots of seating. The bathrooms are also clean and bright. There are lots of savory and sweet options available that looked great. But we tried their cake slices, a bingsu, and drinks. Super great drinks! There are very fun and I loved the cups. There are so many options I am looking forward to trying their other drinks. Got the chocolate pong latte. Very delcious if you are in a chocolately milk vibe which happens to be my go too choice. The bingsu was on point and honestly a great price for what you get. One of the best I have had for 1-2 people in Annadale. And the cake was exceptional. But the best part was the service. Very helpful and friendly. 10/10 read more

Okay, went in the we were wowed by it! My sister said it felt like ktown la and it tasted like it too! Churro was AMAZING!! We got the hotdog and it was little sugary well bc it's covered in sugar hahaha! But still very good!! We had 3 drinks- mango yogurt smoothie, black sesame latte, and grape are. Smoothie was the best, black sesame latte could use little more stronger black sesame flavor and grape add tasted like grape aid but sparkling. The salt bread was okay.. overall I do feel like it tastes good and I feel like I do need to try more. Service was good the whole thing with 2 corn dog, 1 slat bread, 1 churro and 3 drink was $36. Not bad! The place is really cute, clean, and really nice. I deco would go back and highly recommend it!! read more
