You can pick cookies or brownies for your sandwich, and the combinations are endless. The service is great and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made. The inside is a bit small, but this location has a really nice lawn and patio area where you can sit and enjoy your treat. It's the perfect place to hang out, especially on a warm day. Pro tip: choose two different cookies so you can try more than one flavor, and always get your sandwich warmed up. It takes it to a whole new level. Such a unique and delicious stop in Austin.

I mean you can see for yourself that the ice cream sandwich looks 10 out of 10 fire. I did the custom ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream two different cookies- one was the gooey butter cake (overpowering after a few bites) did not finish & the other was like a oreo & cookie mix (much better) and did finish. Vanilla ice cream was decent, but nothing special. I might get it again if I was in the area and really had a sweet tooth, but I would definitely go for some different flavors because they just didn't hit the same this time.

Whenever there's an excuse to go to Hui Lau Shan, I'm in. I love that the desserts are tasty but…read morenot overly sweet. We typically stop by if we're having dinner next door and I've been lucky to come here a few times without a wait. THE FOOD that I've tried: Mango Romance (meh), Pomelo Mango & Sago (I would get this again), Mango Mochi (Kid favorite), and Pomelo & Mango with Saga drink (I think this will become my regular order). THE SERVICE has always been consistently friendly and helpful. I was never rushed for a decision and usually got good recommendations or answers to my questions. THE AMBIANCE feels like a HK dessert shop. It's modern and clean inside with a variety of seating options should you come with a big group or just an individual. Overall, Hui Lau Shan is a win in my book; however it can get pricey with an average price of $8-10 per item. Our family of 4 easily can spend up $30-40 on desserts and/or drinks.

The staff was friendly and happy to answer our questions, and our order was ready in just a couple minutes! I got the Matcha-Cha off the seasonal menu, which had a great balance of matcha flavor and lightly sweet strawberry ice cream. The roasted walnuts added a really nice break in texture, which I loved. My husband ordered the Campfire with added ice cream, which was rich and very chocolaty. The charred marshmallow on top was a great touch and made it extra indulgent. Overall, a great late night dessert stop with solid flavors and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out when you're craving something sweet!

It looks very outdated and not appealing at all, but the food definitely speaks for itself!

My favorite ice cream flavors have been ube and the Earl grey but you really can't go wrong. They have limited parking spots but often people will park along the side of the road when it's busy. Theres a few seats in front of the shop and a cute lighted outdoor area with picnic benches to the side. Highly highly recommend a visit, especially given how late they are open at night and night time soft serve is the best! The only thing I always struggle with is not getting the taiyaki with ice cream drip all over me, so I highly recommend getting a cup to flip it over into!

If I'm in the area again, I'll come back to try the other flavors!

If you're in the area and looking for a cool spot to chill and get your craving for sweets satiated look no further!

I have been frequenting Gourdough's original food trailer on South 1st for a long time. I got a…read morecraving for one of their donuts and decided to make a trip. Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

The staff were friendly when we got our drinks, but the exchange was brief. The space, though, is super Instagrammable with lots of playful decor. Parking is a little tight out front, with some extra spots along the side street. I ordered the crème brûlée taro milk tea with boba, and my husband got the regular crème brûlée milk tea with boba. Flavor-wise it was good, but my drink had a lot happening texture-wise. Between the crystallized sugar, grainy taro, and boba, it caught me by surprise. Once everything was mixed together, it was fine, just not my favorite. Still a fun spot with creative drinks, and I'd be open to trying something else next time!

I believe this may be a smaller Uncle Tetsu and might not have every item but they have most things. They had samples available and for my first visit, I was able to get a good impression of select items! I had the opportunity to sample a piece of their cheesecake biscotti and matcha cheesecake. I asked for a recommendation as a first time and was told I have to try the original to start. Service seemed friendly but felt a little rushed for me to hurry up. Cheesecake Biscotti - from my small slice, I was impressed. It's an airy cookie that's baked to a crispy finish. The exterior is crispy but the inside is fluffy, it's a fun texture that simply feels remarkable. Plus the overall cheesecake flavor is a delightful sweetness. Matcha Cheesecake - I was impressed with the softness. The small sample was so light yet ready to fall from the toothpick at any moment. It was just so delicate. Matcha was present though it's hard to say how strong from a quick sample so I'll reserve on that. Original Cheesecake - now for the real experience, it's no exaggeration to say that this quite literally melts in your mouth. It's almost like the cake simply dissolves, leaving a cheesecake flavor behind. Super fluffy, light, and airy, the cheesecake is delicate and when you eat it, your taste buds light up as if a spotlight is emphasizing the presentation. Fantastic end to any meal as well, especially because it's not heavy at all.

Japanese cheesecake, you say? I don't even really know what that is, but I'm intrigued. So I took my intrigued self down the road and popped in here. Upon walking in, there was some treats in the display case that were maybe donut-sized, at most. So I thought, hey, I'll go ahead and order three of these things because I'm a growing boy. The cashier rung me up and I tapped my watch on the Apple Pay thing immediately. But before I even realized what I'd done, I saw her bringing out 3 boxes that were about 3x bigger than the things in the case. it turned out, those were some kind of little tarts, while the cheesecakes are, you guessed it, about 3x bigger than those. So my little post lunch snack just turned into 3 cakes, of which I'd be taking some home to the family. But hey, it turns out, I love Japanese cheesecake, despite my mishap. Pandan was the highlight of the bunch (also grabbed an Oreo and an Ube). Some people might not like the texture, but that was the highight for me. It makes it seem not overwhelmingly sweet, but it also totally hits the spot for that ever-constant sugar craving after I eat. This was a huge win for me, despite getting way more than I came for.

She was totally on top of us I had the lobster pasta and friend had the ahi tacos. They did not skimp on portions. The tacos were so full of tuna it has hard to keep it all inside the shell!

The sauce was not over powering yet very tasty for sure. And the lobster meat. Not sprinkled in like other places. Absolutely not! There was a hefty amount of lobster for sure! They did not hold back. This would be good for a girls night out or a very nice dinner date place. The location in downtown is very central to everything you can think of and public parking is near by.
