If you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit! They're located inside Moussaka, but you can also find them on DoorDash. The desserts are made by the chef of Moussaka and her talented team, and you can taste the passion in every bite. They offer a mix of classic treats like cheesecake, cake, and tarts alongside delicious Middle Eastern selections like baklava and Turkish delight. They also have gluten free options! One of the best things about this spot is that they sell desserts by the slice, so you can try different flavors without committing to a full cake--a perfect setup if you cannot decide on one dessert/flavor like me! They were kind enough to also include a birthday candle and sign for my cake slice that I got my husband for his birthday. Thank you! read more

This dessert bar is part of Turkish restauranta Moussaka, a neighborhood favorite that is busy. Chic despite its cozy feel, Dessertchu features two display cases of sumptuous colorful desserts such as Turkish delight, cheesecakes, baklava, and so many options. I chose the pistachio tiramisu. It was moist, creamy and decadent. My friend enjoyed a Turkish coffee with her treat. While many order to-go, we were able to spend a leisurely hour despite the dinner rush. The staff was warm and friendly and were all smiles with the various customers that were waiting on to-go orders or hoping for a table for dinner. read more

Went in for the viral Dubai Chocolate bar but they were all out. They did have the Dubai Chocolate dome. The nice lady said it's the same thing but has more of the filling. It was their last one so I said that I will take it. I also bought a creme brulee cheesecake. I wish that the filling had more of a gooey filling but it was still very good. read more

Extremely expensive dessert. But then again I thought $8 for a slice, better be delicious. Unfortunately, of all the three different desserts, not one was good. Over $30 of extremely un delicious dessert. Mango doesn't taste like Mango, pistachio doesn't taste like pistachio. Baklava pistachio was the most tasteless I ever had. The female server was rude too. I asked her if a packaged dessert that was next to the bag she haded me, if it was also mine, for which she replied: Good try" implying I was purposely pretending I didn't know. Just rude! Don't waste your time and money. read more

Didn't even get to try their over-priced desserts. Let me explain. Dessertchu is located inside a Mediterranean restaurant. While the display may seem like it's a part of the Mediterranean restaurant, everything seems to point to the fact that Dessertchu operates independently from that restaurant? How peculiar. My wife and I wanted to get some desserts and we happened to find Dessertchu on Yelp. We had a hard time finding it until we saw that it's really just a dessert display counter within this other restaurant. How odd, as no one really paid any attention or stationed behind this counter. We asked a waitress about the desserts and she smiled and said she'll be right with us. She then went on to take care of other customers that were clearly interested in eating at the restaurant as opposed to ordering dessert. 10 minutes after watching her go to two separate tables and seating 1 new customer (there were only those three tables), we had to flag her down 2 times indicating that we're ready to make our selection. After she came over, she took down what we wanted and then proceeded to go do whatever the heck she was going to do. Another 10 minutes without anyone tending to us as we waited, we finally decided to leave. As it so happens, someone from the back finally comes out with desserts in hand-but why do you have your desserts in the display case if you're walking out with desserts? Quite peculiar. Ultimately, we walked away without getting anything as our experience ruined any semblance of wanting to be customers of Dessertchu. Simply put, they don't care about you unless you're actually trying to eat at the restaurant. We stood there being ignored when the restaurant wasn't even busy. Without any updates as to what was going on with our order, having to stand there for 20 or some odd minutes made this experience incredibly unappealing and regrettable. So... save yourselves the trouble and go somewhere where they actually care. read more

Dessertchu has a counter showcase just inside Moussaka. Menu is posted on M's window. Showcase is filled with tasty looking pastries, albeit no name tags nor pricing. Owner of M & D is present, saying bakes are made fresh daily. Ready to take order when I'm ready. Offerings: cheesecake/cake slices, baklava varietals, macaroons, individual desserts.... Choose a few items. Receipt not itemized. Not sure what I received. Eats didn't reflect items on "menu" Eats: -melty fudge brownie topped with layer of vanilla cheesecake (3) the fudge brownie portion was on point. -the topping didn't taste nor looked vanilla cheesecake. Chocolate mouse cake slice (7) -mostly sponge cake with chocolate essence topped with chips of chocolate granache. --didn't taste like what I expected. Key lime pie slice (6) -very tart taste. Never tasted key lime with such tartness. Take outs: -pie/cake slices packaged in sturdy white boxes, traveled well. Had a few days shelf life in fridge. 3.5 stars was curious about desserts. Expectations not met due to inadequate descriptions re: desserts. *same lead to uninformed dessert choices. *quality of ingredients not an issue. Lack of transparency an issue. read more

I dropped in hoping to try the viral Dubai Chocolate and while the service was friendly and sweet, the expensive desserts were rather unpleasant. To start with the positive, the pistachio Turkish delight was delightful and the mix within of the pistachio cannoli was quite good. But the tiramisu was - not tiramisu? It was essentially an abundance of frosting, a bit of cake, and a jam-like spread with pistachios. It tasted nothing like tiramisu. The most expensive item was also the worst - the Dubai Chocolate. It was so extremely sweet it wasn't enjoyable to eat. It was soupy and flavored like someone had turned a pistachio Kit Kat up to 11. Not having had one before I have no idea what they should taste like but we bought two, didn't finish the one we tried, and threw them both out. The balance and palate of the chocolate was just so out of whack. I'd recommend trying the Dubai Chocolate elsewhere, but otherwise we did enjoy a couple of the other desserts we bought at Dessertchu. read more

We dropped by here to get dessert on our way to dinner. We were greeted by huge smiles from the staff and the owner Nile is such an awesome and friendly person. We spoke to Nile on the phone before coming and as soon as we walked in she came over and introduced herself and have us recommendations for dessert. Her and her mom make all the desserts fresh daily and Nile is also the chef. Will update later on the taste of the desserts but by the smell of the food cooking I'm not going to be disappointed Update: All the cakes are delicious and the macarons are exquisite. They're the perfect amount of sweet and moist. So so good! read more

This little dessert spot is hidden inside the restaurant Moussaka, but once you enter, you'll feel so welcomed by the chef/owner, who clearly works hard to maintain both places. She stated that one is her love and the other is her baby. The vibe upon entering is very apparent, and there's a sense of energy and light in the space - the decor was cute as well! It was also refreshing to see the chef/owner all around the restaurant, welcoming and seating patrons, as well as taking orders and serving - she really had no issue doing it all! We went with a variety of desserts: tiramisu, mango mousse cake, and pistachio baklava. Well-priced at $7 an order and packed with flavor. Textures were great and visually appealing in the box. The baklava even had a little dropper of simple syrup tucked in, which prevented the baklava from getting soggy before it was served - genius idea! Our hats off to the head honcho for designing a great space with delicious food. While we were waiting for our to-go order of sweets, we noticed that customers kept coming in even though it was after 2pm and past the usual lunch rush. The food certainly looked like it was worth trying! read more

Dessertchu - Cute and fun interior - Desserts Near Me - San Leandro, California

Wow! Wow! Wow! Located inside the Moussaka Kitchen, Dessertchu, has a wide variety of desserts ranging in flavors. After speaking with the lovely there I learned that the desserts are fresh, she creates different kinds, but always has the classics that are always there. There was only one group that was seated when I was inside, so I got helped very quickly. There were so many options despite being a just small counter with desserts! My apologies for the lack of photos, my bf and I demolished these immediately upon opening the package they came. I even told the woman who helped (SO so kind and sweet btw) not to put them in another bag, simply because I knew it was going to eat these two minutes later. Give it try! You get what you paid for, so trust me when I say it's quality. read more

I went here after seeing a video of the desserts from here on instagram. It was my birthday and my son treated me to these desserts. I picked a variety of things for us to try, a Cannoli, lemon pistachio cheesecake,(I'm not even a big cheesecake fan but this was SO good) pineapple upside cake, strawberry crunch cake, Nutella banana cup, and pistachio cheesecake cup. The person helping us also let me try a piece of Turkish delight, it was so good with nice flavors and texture. I would love to visit again to try other things! read more

Amazing pastries they bake every day fresh . I just wish they have a place to sit down, and no coffee. It's a great spot to pick up dessert / breads and pastries. read more

Amazing cake shop with an enormous selection of cake by the slice. I'll often swing by when in the neighborhood for a slice or two to-go. This place is a must try! read more

We really don't want to gate keep this hidden gem...we must share to the Yelp-World. Dessertchu has the viral Dubai Chocolate and they even have it as a cheesecake. All of their desserts and pastries are homemade. They have vegan desserts you wouldn't think would taste vegan...it's an absolute dream. The owner and her wife are superbly charming, thoughtful, and completely devoted to each and every customer that comes through the door. They are a Mediterranean Restaurant first and off to the side are their magical face melting desserts offering Turkish delights to their viral Dubai Chocolate. We also choose some amazing cheesecakes like biscoff and their mousse like mango and pistachio. The shop is esthetically beautiful and inviting, w/ warm bright colors and sizable windows that let the gorgeous light energizing the whole corner space. We will most definitely come back for their food and most importantly try again their exquisite desserts and sweets. Oh Turkish coffee is not for the faint of hearts...high octane that will keep you awake and energized for a few hours. We can't wait to go back and I have a feeling there will be a line out the door when we do... BUT business is good when you have great owners that run it! Thank you, Bedriye, you're the most gracious hostess! read more

Beautiful variety of classic and Mediterranean style desserts. The lady who helps me is always smiling and friendly. You can walk right over to the counter and she will notice and come help you out. My boy loves the Turkish Delight and cheesecakes. I love the moist rainbow cake and the rich chocolate cake. I've not been disappointed. Every once in a while the chef/owner of the restaurant comes over just to let me know she appreciates my business. I like that I can stop by and pick up a nice locally made fresh treat to spoil myself and my family. read more

Your a liar who won't admit to the wrong doings. I'm glad you wrote that review. It shows how you don't take accountability and how disregarded you are to customer service. I had a horrible experience at this place on overpriced dessert. I would never give you my business again. I wouldn't even bother recommending you. You are very disrespectful. You yelled in front of my son and family. Your unprofessional. If I could give you zero stars I would. read more

Very tasty cakes, but very sweet. Half the sugar would still be enough. Great selection though

Really good and friendly service This place is hidden in a restaurant They have so many varieties of desserts, it was hard to choose (a lot of cheesecakes) Ultimately we settled with 3 We got the macarons (6 pieces for $9) pretty good and standard. Fair price too. Bisoff cheesecake ($10) pretty large piece and tastes high quality. Not too sweet. Pistachio ricotta cheesecake ($8) tasty and light, not as large or dense as the biscoff cheesecake We decided to eat them there so the lady put them out on a plate for us. A waitress brought us a pitcher of water. We ended up ordering a pitcher of sangria too. Lovely place. I will be back for the food and more desserts. If they sold whole cakes, I would definitely stop by to grab one for an occasion. There aren't many dessert places (other than ice cream) in San Leandro so this is a gem read more

Super nice owner. The drsserts were delicious although quiet pricy. Definitely will swing by again

We had the most wonderful experience at Dessertchu. Not only were the desserts absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and full of flavor but the chef went above and beyond to make our visit special. They were so kind to my daughter, taking the time to chat with her and making her feel extra welcome. It's rare to find a place where both the food and the service leave such a lasting impression. We'll definitely be back for more sweet treats. Thank you for your kindness! read more

Went before closing. Ordered a few slices my friends and I enjoyed the desserts. Was going to order Togo but decided to stay order tea. I had a nice cold glass of milk to enjoy the biscoff cheese cake read more

Stopped by on a late afternoon in the hopes of trying the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake but they were out. Instead I got the coconut cake, Black Forest chocolate cake, and a cheesecake to go.The staff was super nice and offered to save me a piece the next morning. My brother who is not a cake fan at all (hence the cheesecake) loved the Coconut Cake. It was moist and not overly sweet. The chocolate cake and other cheesecake were pretty good too. Went back the next day and bough three of the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake slices. They were so good! I especially appreciated that slices were individually wrapped. Will definitely be going back. read more

Luna is THE best! So happy to have came across this place. The crème brûlée cheesecake was delicious. They have a wide selection of desserts & I can't wait to come back and try more. Service was amazing I was able to order last minute and they were more than willing to accommodate me. read more

Discovered this dessert gem because we craved sweets and found Dessertchu on Yelp. To clarify, this dessert shop is housed inside Moussaka Mediterranean Kitchen (definitely a recommend and see a separate review). Those going specifically for Dessertchu should go directly to the dessert display counter to order. After placing your order, then get a seat from the wait staff. They will bring you your dessert(s). Now, for the desserts. Absolutely loved the large and delicious selection! We wanted to try so many things, but our stomachs were only so large. We got the peanut butter, ube blueberry, strawberry, and Lotus Biscotti cheesecakes, pomegranate and pistachio Turkish Delight, almond and chocolate ganache Turkish Delight, almond fig tart, hazelnut cream puff, chocolate cake and black velvet blackberry cake! Just a few items. All were very tasty and not super sickeningly sweet. We will definitely be back to try all the other desserts, especially the baklava cheesecake, which they unfortunately ran out. read more

They serve desserts, it's inside a restaurant so you may get confused. The dessert was good but priced a bit high. I love tiramisu. Not the best I've had but still a solid 5 stars. read more

First time here. I am not a cake person. Just want to buy it for my sis. I bought Bischoff cheesecake, Boston crème pie and pistachio cheesecake. Really like the Bischoff cheesecake. Sweet enough to satisfy but won't weight you down. Gonna try colossal cheesecake next time. read more

The mango mousse individual slice is so divine... I am eating it as we speak. I am so glad I had a sweet tooth this evening otherwise I wouldn't have been aware of Dessertchu. So far the mango mousse is cold, sweet (it is not airy, but not too thick), so I think it'd be a great dessert after a meal. I like that I was able to order this online as well (made it so much easier so I could just walk in and walk out). 5 stars. I have more desserts to try but this alone prompted me to log into yelp! :D read more

If you're looking for some unique dessert, romantic ambiance, and fantastic service, look no further than Dessertchu. Everyone is so helpful and friendly, whether it's assisting with their vast array of desserts or taking a reunion photo. We tried their Dubai Cake and it did not disappoint! While the price appears high at first glance, the portion is generous and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. The cake was not overly sweet and the pistachio cream was rich and creamy--worth every penny in my book! My party of three needed a box for our cake. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town! read more

I only came to get dessert to go, but the inside interior was great! Definitely a place I'd go to and felt welcoming. The chef and owner was awesome too! Greater me and my partner and let us sit down to order and wait for our dessert. She talked to us for a bit too. It was great to see the chef/owner greet people at the door, take orders and serve them too! I don't see that often but it was nice to see. I ordered the mango mousse and my partner got the pistachio baklava. Both were really good! I'd come back for the dessert and try the restaurant as well! It's combined with the restaurant, Moussaka read more

Ambiance inside was beautiful. Love the details of the place. Went right before closing so it was very busy. However the owner was very nice and helped us out. My favorites out if everything we got was the Blueberry Ube Cheesecake. So good that I hope to buy a whole cake for my birthday. So light, airy, with lemon and a hint of ube. The Nutella cheesecake is delicious and rich. Will definitely come back and try the actual restaurant read more
