    Assortment of Handmade Cakes
    Leah J.

    I stopped by Look Up Cafe recently, and it was a great experience. The cafe was very clean and I quickly noticed the cute backdrop as soon as I walked in. This dessert cafe has an amazing selection of handmade cakes that are baked fresh in their kitchen daily. I tried a slice of the Nutella cake, Reese's cake, and Oreo cake, and each one was perfectly spongy, moist, and not overly sweet. My favorite was the Nutella cake. The other flavors were just okay. The service was also excellent; everyone was friendly and welcoming. I couldn't decide which cake I wanted and they encouraged me to get all three lol. Besides the cakes, they have a nice variety of treats like macarons, bubble teas, frozen shakes, and Blue Bell ice cream, so there's something for everyone. If you love dessert, definitely check this place out!

    The Chocolate Hazelnut cake was amazing! It was like a chocolate flavored tiramisu. I would have given them 5 stars, but she didn't ask me if I was dinning in and so they put it in a plastic to go container and a bag. Which just felt kind of wasteful. Not sure if they don't have dine in plates and cutlery or not. But I wish they did. The price for the cake was reasonable, but the macaroons seemed a bit expensive.

    I took too long to visit this place! It's the best little unique dessert spot to get real bingsu (Korean snow cream parfait). I love the mango one and the red bean. The red bean has bits of mochi in it too. The texture is hard to describe, but it's super finely shaved snow cream that melts in the mouth so nicely. It's not coarse like snow cones. If you don't want bingsu, there's plenty of other options like blue bell ice cream, and lots of lovely cakes and macarons! The space is very nice to sit in and relax. It's so difficult to find such a unique spot for this type of ice cream, but a great option and so fun for everyone's taste! Strongly recommend!

    Milk Cake

    This is my favorite bakery for birthday cakes and occasions. Whenever I gift a cake I always get so much praise from the receiver! The service is efficient and they are so kind and accommodating. There are always many families enjoying the cafe. There's plenty of seating and spacious.

    Taro Cake slice (yum)

    We were craving some Asian desserts/flavors and I ended up fining this nearby place on Yelp. I wasn't expecting the sign coloring for this type of cafe, but it is large enough to notice from the road. It's at the end of a strip and there is plenty of parking. There was also plenty of seating with lots of space in between so you don't feel crowded. The inside was cutely decorated and clean. My friend and I ordered a slice of Taro Cake and a regular size Red Bean Bingsoo (also categorized here as Snow Cream Partfait) for dine-in. The Taro Cake slice (Taro Flavored Sponge Cake layered with Taro Extract, Purple Yam Spread and Taro Flavored Whipping Cream) was light, yummy, and not extremely sweet. The Red Bean Bingsoo was as described (i.e. filled with finely shaved sweetened milk and toped with Roasted Soybean Bean Powder, Mochi, Vanilla Ice Cream & Red Bean Paste). The order of ingredients didn't quite match the description as the bean powder was on top of the ice cream, but it didn't make a difference to me since you are supposed to eat everything together. The ice cream did taste a little different than I was expecting though. It was sweet, but not extremely sweet. They pack it in the cup, so scoop carefully in order to not loose any ingredients to the table or floor. Both were the perfect portions before we went back home for dinner. They both also satisfied our Asian dessert cravings. For the area, it was a decent Asian dessert place.

    Such a spacious, kid-friendly cafe! Ample seating and delicious treats available!! I really enjoyed my experience at Look Up. I brought my 2 year old and she loved it as well. It seems like a popular spot for parents to bring their kids since there were other families that came in right after us. I can attest that this is a great place to bring your kids, not just because of the desserts, but because there is comfortable seating available for families. There are couches and even a kids table! The staff members the day that we went were very attentive and gave us our entire order within 5 minutes. We ordered a lot. - Pistachio latte with soy milk - Passionfruit boba with soy milk - Slice of fruit cake - Vanilla cake snow cream - Macarons: birthday cake, ube/taro, and Oreo I really enjoyed my pistachio latte. I added a shot of espresso and it hit the spot. I only wish they had other milk options other than soy and whole. Hopefully in the near future they will! I didn't realize that the Passionfruit boba drink was going to have milk in it. We substituted it for soy milk but I definitely do not prefer milk with a Passionfruit flavor. That's just me. I didn't really like the drink but my daughter did. Lol. It was really sweet and you cannot adjust the sweetness unfortunately. As a personal preference, I would have wanted to adjust the sweetness. The desserts were amazing. I really enjoyed my slice of fruit cake. They are homemade and you can truly tell. The sponge of the cake.... Omg I am obsessed. So good! The snow cream was a refreshing option. I'd definitely get it again. I never had a snow cream before until the day we went! I loved the texture of it; I believe it was shaved ice. I could be wrong but I'm just going to call it that for now. And all of the additional things in our snow cream bowl paired perfectly with the shaved ice. The ube/taro macaron was really good!!! I didn't get to try the other two that we got because my daughter devoured them but based on her expressions, they were delicious. Haha. I'm definitely coming back here when I'm back in the area! I highly recommend to those looking for a new dessert spot to hang around at with the kids.

    I have passed this lil interesting shop so many times and always try to remind myself to stop by Well today despite the pouring rain and literal tornado warnings was the day I met a fellow yelper here for a little girl time She tried the red bean shaved ice which was delicious and authentic I had the fruit cake which was so moist and yummy with the most fresh mangos and thinly sliced strawberries in between the layers the cream melted in your mouth and it was a perfect level of sweetness I paired it with a hot pistachio latte since it was quite ick outside This was the perfect thing to cheer my insides up lol the latte was so good a perfect combination of sweet and nutty I will be returning just for this if nothing else Who am I kidding I want everything else hahaha every cake they had looked so good I could barely decide While in there they were so a customer that came in including one who ordered 8 cake slices you know it's good when somebody takes that many home I absolutely love love love the decor the selfie walls and the modern look to the seating including clear tables is really neat I have to say the staff are super sweet and very attentive as well This was the first of many visits

    Cantaloupe boba

    The best fruit cake and boba in the area!! It's always fresh and so delicious. Definitely 10/10

    Taro Cake
    Luigi C.

    Had a need to satisfy my sweet tooth after a disappointing meal earlier today so a short drive brought me to "look up" cafe. Is a nice, large space, peaceful relaxing music playing in the background, eclectic decorations on the wall that invite you to take another look without overdoing it. I had the taro cake, I love everything taro. Cake was soft and moist. Not excessively sweet and the taro flavor was there without being overwhelming. Well done in my opinion. Service was appropriate, and the place is definitely nice to come enjoy a sweet treat, seat and relax for few minutes and enjoy some company. Would definitely come back if I am in the area and I would recommend to everyone to visit.

    Dessert is the BEST part of a meal so going to a dessert cafe after dinner is well...appropriate so I found myself heading to Look Up Dessert Cafe. It felt welcoming right when I walked in with the soft soothing music and clean chic decor. They had a variety of sweets but what caught my eye immediately was the cakes. They all looked delicious but I went with the Oreo cake. For being a chocolate cake, I didn't find it to be "too much". Just the right amount of sweetness. Look Up Dessert Cafe is the right place to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ice cream can get incredibly rich for me very fast, but that wasn't my experience with their rainbow cookie ice cream! Very smooth, almost reminiscent to birthday cake, with just the right touch of sweetness. There are plenty of seating indoors, and lots of spots to park your car outside! The staff are friendly and they keep the place extremely spotless, cleaning surfaces and even wiping down the glass doors and windows through the night. They also have a water dispenser in the event that you need a sip of water and it's great for people like myself who need water after a sweet! The place is very quiet around the evening (we were there around 8:40pm) and there's hardly a line, if at all. But the place stays open til 10pm throughout the week. The place deserves more traction. I will definitely be coming back here with my husband who is an ice cream fiend!

First off, the staff were super friendly and welcoming right when we walked in. They were more than happy to let us sample a few flavors, which I always appreciate, especially when there are so many options and everything sounds good. The flavor selection is seriously impressive, and it makes choosing just one feel impossible. They don't just do basic scoops either. You can get milkshakes, malts, ready-to-go pints, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream pies, or keep it classic with a cup or cone. Basically, whatever ice-cream mood you're in, they've got something for you. I ended up going with the cookie dough ice cream sandwich, and it absolutely hit the spot. The ice cream was super creamy and packed with cookie dough, and the cookies themselves were soft, chewy, and the perfect match for the filling. It was rich without being too much, which is saying something for an ice cream sandwich. The whole place just had a really easy, fun vibe. Nothing pretentious, just good ice cream, lots of choices, and nice people! If you're in the area and craving something sweet, give them a try. Whether it's the middle of summer or literally below freezing outside, it's worth stopping in.

    I don't usually leave one-star reviews, but this experience was bad from start to finish…read more I placed a mobile order and waited at the clearly marked pickup window on the left side of the building, where there's a giant sign that says "Pick Up Mobile Orders Here." It was raining, and I stood there for about 10 minutes. I was literally the only customer there at the time. Anna was inside near the front window and looked directly at me multiple times, but never once came over to acknowledge me or ask if I needed help. Instead, she went back to writing something down. After waiting in the rain, I finally walked around to the front window. The second I got there, Anna opened it and asked if I needed help. I asked why she never came to the mobile pickup window where I'd been waiting, and her response was that it was "too much of a pain to open." That's honestly not an acceptable excuse, especially when a customer has already been standing there in the rain waiting for an order that was ready. Unfortunately, the customer service wasn't the only issue. The ice cream itself was terrible. It tasted sour, was watery, and honestly just nasty. I threw it away after a couple of bites because I couldn't finish it. The location itself also isn't very inviting. There's nowhere to sit or enjoy your ice cream--it's basically just surrounded by parking lots with no real atmosphere. I'm very disappointed because I've been to other Bruster's locations and have always been treated like an actual human being. This location was the complete opposite. Between the poor customer service and the bad quality of the ice cream, I won't ever be returning to this location.

I pulled into the shopping center & found a locked door at the shop. Peeping into the window I saw that it was definitely closed. Disappointed I turned to leave. A man wheeling in what must have been today's prepared ice creams asked me if I wanted ice cream. When I answered in the affirmative he unlocked the door & turned on the lights. I learned that during the winter they don't open till 3. Asking if he was the owner, he confirmed that he & his wife were. Going to the back while I got my two pints of Ube Ice Cream from the cooler, he returned with three complementary containers of flavors that I hadn't tried. Sharing with him the fact that I wasn't an Ice Cream person but loved his, he asked if it was the Ube. I told him that flavor was my favorite but it was because his tasted different & so much better than other Ice Cream. Mentioning that other Ice Cream was just too sweet. He confirmed that was the biggest mistake people made preparing Ice Cream. He certainly knows the best way to prepare the deliciousness. Somehow we also even got on the topic of NFL Football. Don't I always? It's wonderful to learn that one of my favorite spots is owned by such a friendly & nice person. He didn't have to unlock the door so I could buy Ice Cream. But he did. So I left the store with a bag full of my favorite treat. If you haven't yet tried Sundae Scoop you've missed the best Ice Cream in Coastal Virginia. Even if it's not in your part of the Metro, make a trip there. You won't regret it.
