    Lemon mousse cake
    Ashton K.

    Came here on a whim tonight. Audrey was so incredible explaining what was in everything as my sister in law has allergies. Also the lemon cake tastes as great as it looked!! Lattes were delicious and smoothies were awesome. Thank you again Audrey for making the experience fun and we will definitely be coming back.

    pink hazard
    Kristine C.

    Was in the area and stopped by since this place has good reviews. I got the pink hazard which is a pink vanilla latte. Not sure why it's pink, but it's really pretty LOL. i think the coffee was delicious. really smooth and it hit the craving, but unfortunately nothing that stands out enough for me to absolutely go out of my way to come back. definitely open to coming back if i was in the area.

    came here on a Thursday evening to get some studying done, had a great experience. No blasting music, just quiet jazz in background and warm lighting. I got the sea salt caramel ice blended and I really liked it. (In the picture is another drink my mom ordered, not the ice blended). I would recommend it fs, foamy on top and not too sweet while retaining the sea salt caramel flavor! Also lemon tart. Some lemon tarts imo taste kinda medicine-y, but this one is balanced in the citrus flavor with the soft meringue. A couple outlets on the brown walls and free wifi, would come here again. :)

    This little coffee and dessert bar has lots of open seating and is tucked in a busy shopping plaza in the Convoy area. I came in to try their salted caramel latte and their coffee was extremely strong here, and I could not taste the salted caramel at all. When I asked if they could add more caramel, the barista misunderstood and gave me more espresso. I wasn't happy with my drink, but my friend was impressed with their large selection of gluten free desserts. She ordered a dulce de leche cake and enjoyed it.

    Ferrero Rocher dessert
    Jay L.

    LAB is a fun spot to check out if you're into creative, beautifully presented desserts. I tried a few of their pastries, which were just okay nothing too memorable but their specialty desserts are where they really shine. It's clean and kinda cute inside. The staff was friendly and patient when we were trying to decide. My favorite by far was the Ferrero Rocher. It was rich, creamy, and had that perfect hazelnut-chocolate combo just like the real thing, but elevated. Definitely a must-try! I also tried the Cloud dessert, which looks stunning and is super Instagram-worthy, but the flavor didn't match the presentation for me. It tasted a bit artificial and not something I'd order again. The cheesecake is also super cute looking and tasted good, but it was such a small portion. Left me wanting more. Prices are on the high end, and while I get that you're paying for the artistry and uniqueness, I do wish it felt a little more reasonable overall. Still, worth visiting if you're craving something special or want a dessert that doubles as a photo op.

    Mango Shaved Ice
    Hannah C.

    Tasty mango treats and a delicious grapefruit ade!! It's a great place to get some studying done with free WiFi, outlets, and ample space with a cozy ambience, however purchases are required to sit. I was pleasantly surprised by their light, fluffy, and a vibrant mango shaved ice, which they replaced ice cream with mango since they ran out. It seems like most customers only have complaints with the male server with glasses, who we also unfortunately had a strange encounter with. As we were unfamiliar with the menu and wanted to order more at a different time, he repeatedly asked if we'd like to order more and also did not take our order after standing at the cashier for some time. Definitely uncomfortable and almost left the establishment because of the encounter

    Iced white chocolate mocha and s'mores latte
    Elisa L.

    Came on a Monday around 11 am and there was no line to order and parking available outside! I ordered the iced white chocolate mocha and my sister ordered the s'mores latte. Both drinks were decent though we both agreed they could use more flavor, we found them kinda bland. Drinks came out fast and plenty of tables to sit inside.

    Allison L.

    No line to order when I came around 11AM. I ordered the hot s'mores mocha and my sister got an iced white chocolate mocha, it came to around $11 for the two drinks. I liked how they offered an 8oz cup for my drink since some cafes don't offer that size. The s'mores mocha was cute and had torched marshmallows on top, but I wish it was more flavorful. My sister said the same about her drink. Drinks came out quickly and plenty parking

    Cotton Candy Burrito with fruity pebbles
    Wuchie W.

    My friend wanted me to try the cotton candy burrito with fruity pebbles. We just got done eating on Convoy so she said the place was pretty close by. We walked in and the decor was very simple, bright and airy. I did notice the gorgeous cakes/desserts/ treats in the window display. I was too full to try any at that time, but I will be going back to try a few. I have always seen desserts that have this glossy smooth texture on top, I've always been curious of the taste. I did try my friend's cotton candy burrito, I'm generally not a fan of these type of uber sweet treats, but it actually was good. The texture is quite different and the fact it's a cold treat is a plus. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5

    I was looking for a variety of indulgent treats and this place hit the spot. The Carmel macaron is AMAZING! Also the little chocolate Carmel cake, to die for. Tiramisu was perfect. Pricey but the flavors and presentation live up to it.

    Indoor seating
    Stephanie B.

    I came here for the first time last week. There were two others at the coffee shop so the ambiance was quiet. There was indoor seating and a couple tables outside. The staff member who took my order was friendly but didn't have high energy, where you feel welcome to be there. I ordered the ice blended caramel macchiato and I didn't like it, it lacked flavor. I wouldn't order it again. I would want to come back and give this place another try though. They have a variety of coffee drinks and pastries. It also did seem like a good place to study or get some work done. There's also a parking lot, so parking was easy.

It really feels like going to a shave ice place in Japan. There are maybe about 8 tables inside that can fit between 2-4 people. There are also a couple of seats by the register. Each table has a unique decoration. Service: There's both a digital and paper menu and then you order up front. Both times, I have waited about 20-30 minutes. It's quite a long wait for 1 shave ice but when you get your order, you can see why it takes that long since they put some detail in it. Food: I believe they change their menu, not sure how often. Both times I ordered from their specials menu and they were so delicious, the ice was soft, and their toppings complemented each other well. One shave ice is enough for 2 people, especially after dinner. Highly recommend Ko-Li for a different kind of sweet treat!

This place is lowkey one of the best spots in Convoy for Bingsoo. It's right next to Somi-Somi, and they also do Taiyakis which is a nice little bonus. I got the Injeolmi Bingsoo and omg, where has this been all my life?? For anyone who doesn't know, injeolmis are basically the Korean version of mochis but with this nuttier vibe so good. The bingsoo ice itself was super light and fluffy, not too sweet either which is totally my thing. My friends went for the strawberry bingsoo and nutella taiyakis and they were obsessed. No complaints at all. The spot wasn't packed when we showed up, the space is actually pretty roomy with tons of seating, and the service was fast too like no waiting around forever. Basically if you're anywhere near Convoy and need a dessert fix, just come here. You won't regret it!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Definitely a young crowd, very Asian dessert vibes, and being right next to Somi Somi makes it a full sweet-tooth zone. Parking is a challenge, but honestly it's worth the wait. Glad there's so much energy and happy vibe there!

The drinks we ordered tasted pretty funky--for instance, the Coco Mango was surprisingly tart and salty, which was definitely not what we were expecting. We also tried their shaved ice (kakigori). It was just okay; the presentation is nice, but it was incredibly sweet, so keep that in mind if you prefer more balanced or subtle desserts. Overall, it's a cute place with a lot of hype, but the flavors were a bit of a miss for us on this visit. Order ahead if you go, and maybe steer clear of the Coco Mango if you don't like tart/salty flavor profiles!
