This review is for the latte art class I took here at Dessert Oasis. For years, I have been trying and failing to master latte art, so when my friends and I saw DO offering this beginner's class, we knew we had to go. The two hour class was informative and immensely helpful, including both didactic and hands on approaches. We reviewed the basics, spent some time learning to steam the perfect textured milk, and each had at least two attempts to practice the heart shaped art. You can see from the photos how much progress I was able to make between my two attempts - I was ecstatic! I've since been practicing my new skills and learning at home, and am forever grateful for DO for offering these awesome community classes! read more

Stopped by Dessert Oasis for the first time and ordered the hot cocoa. Fair warning, we drank through half of it before remembering to snap a photo. The drink hits a sweet spot between bitter and sweet. You taste actual chocolate, not just sugar. It goes down smooth without coating your mouth. The space itself makes you want to stay. Simple designs, some art on the walls, dim lighting that feels intentional. The vibe really works and keeps you here. Also thinking about what pastry to try next time...they have Iggy's Eggies too! read more

I drive past this spot all the time when going to visit my family so finally popped in. It was a chill day and not to crowded. I wasn't sure what I wanted but they had a specialty drink on display so I went with that and a blueberry muffin. They take your order and deliver to your table if you dine in. My drink was aesthetically pleasing and very yummy but I was a little surprised that they gave me a piping hot drink in a glass with no handle. I also expected it to be a little sweeter considering the ingredients that were in it ( coconut cream, graham cracker cream, marshmallows, etc.). I'm not sure if the muffin was gluten free but it was super dry and crumbly. The flavor was good but I did not enjoy the texture and would not get again. read more

The people working here could not be any nicer but our first experience here was a rough start. we love the Rochester location and heard they set up a roaster with a coffee shop attached. I believe this is their headquarters where they roast their coffee and make their baked goods. When you come in you see the register and baked good case and a few spots to sit and then there is a larger area to sit down a small incline in the flooring. They have an interesting open seating area with art on the walls. They also see some merch here. There seems to be a classroom and some restrooms off to the side. The menu is fairly simple. They seem to offer less than the Rochester location and had less cheesecakes or baked good than the other location. When we arrived it was not incredibly busy and the people helping us were very nice. They gave us our card and told us they would bring us our drinks. We waited for nearly half an hour while others came and went and got their drinks and treats. Finally we asked and they admitted they forgot about us. They were very gracious and very apologetic and then brought us some drinks and cheesecake. I love their cheesecake. It is very good and less than $6 a slice. While it is no Cheesecake Factory, you are going to get a nice slice for a lot less. If you like cheesecake I highly recommend trying their cake. As far as the coffee does, they are always very aesthetic and nice to look at, but their mochas were not very strong and did not taste like there was any chocolate in it, and their hot cocoa also did not have a strong chocolate flavor, it was very faint. I like their coffee, it is smooth, but I would have liked it a bit stronger, hotter, and more flavoring (chocolate which I am not sure was even in there, it tasted like a plain latte). I would not give up on this location. It is newer and we like to support local. This location is located in the subdivisions of Ferndale and not downtown, so I am not sure how often we would make it over here, but we will visit a Dessert Oasis location again soon. read more

The drinks are a bit expensive here but I'd say they are worth it. I've had the chai tea, kerouac and vanilla lattes. They were all very tasty. The Kerouac is essentially an earl gray tea latte with lavender and cinnamon, I got it with whole milk and it is earthy and a little sweet. I've never had something like that before but it's my favorite drink here. The coffee itself was very good and the vanilla latte I got was the perfect amount of sweetness/creaminess. They are also very aesthetically pleasing with designs on the top of your drink. There is a lot of space for people to work/hang out and it is a very cute spot. They have an assortment of pastries, I've only had a chocolate croissant and it was flaky and warm- very yummy. There seems to be adequate parking in front and on the side streets for free. read more

The food and coffee is 5 stars The atmosphere is 4.5 stars Some of the people working are 5 stars but a few too many of them are 2 stars. Some people who work here (and they seem like the managers?) are really awful at customer service. I frequent this place and there are two folks who work here who really bring down the wonderful atmosphere. read more

While the coffee is great, there is not even one refill for a cup of coffee without paying another $4.44. And it's an 8 oz mug. Not even a big mug. Too pricy for my taste. read more

Fantastic coffee, tea and pastry shop. The ambience was nice, and as a non-coffee drinker, I really enjoyed the Kerouac, which is an earl grey tea latte with lavender and cinnamon. Absolutely lovely. My friend got a cranberry orange pastry that I definitely recommend warmed. It was both sweet and tart. We will be coming back. read more

A place a kept meaning to check out and finally did. The indoors is so cute, a place you'd like to hang out for a while. We had iced teas, one matcha and one peach, both delicious. Staff were friendly, and I look forward to supporting this local business in the future. read more

Best of the best of the best, SIR! By far my favorite dessert oasis location and their coffee no matter what you get always hits. People are always friendly too (: read more

I went here during my dog's morning walk and the coffee did not disappoint! The owner is ok with dogs entering for ordering only which is great as leaving my furry friend behind while ordering coffee can be stressful for him. They roast their coffee in the back of the shop and it shows when you just taste their coffee! Their barista really knows what she's doing! I also picked up a bag of their roasted beans and it also does not disappoint! read more

With tax, $10 for 2 "large" hot latte. When I saw the size of the cups, I thought that I was given small cups by mistake. The coffee wasn't hot. read more
