I really enjoyed this dessert place! I personally don't like desserts that are too sweet and this place offers desserts that have just the right amount of sweetness! I ordered the creamy snow melon and the mango snow black sticky rice. I recommend the mango snow black sticky rice. The sticky rice isn't too hard and is soft and chewy. The mango is sweet and fresh which goes perfect with the rice and ice cream. The shaved ice underneath also tastes amazing. The shaved ice is finely shaved and really soft. The creamy snow melon also tasted great! The honey dew melon was really sweet and the cream balanced out the sweetness of this dessert! There were also crisps in this one that added a bit of crunch and was savory which went well with all the other flavors. They have dine in options with limited seating during the afternoon as they do get pretty busy. We decided to order takeout because there wasn't much seating and take out comes in a reusable bag and utensils. Would definitely recommend this place!
Ahhh! The 4 of us needed a bit of cooling off after dining across the parking lot on this hot day We got a taro puree & rice mochi milk tea, a peach gum milk tea, and two creme brûlée milk teas: one with black tea and one jasmine with 30% sugar. The only thing slowing us down from slurping them up so quickly were the satisfyingly chewy, silky, or chunky bits. Everything tasted fresh and rich. What an enjoyable treat! The interior is clean, crisp, and aesthetically pleasing. Find a table or stool and enjoy indoors or take it to go. The line can get long, but the service is quick. I really enjoyed my drink here and sure wouldn't mind coming back for a dessert bowl sometime!
Makkae Dessert is a new popular dessert spot serving all the Asian dessert classics like mango pomelo sago, sticky rice, puddings, and a bunch of different combinations. I got the Creamy Snow Mango, which was basically a little bit of everything in one bowl. It also had a layer of sea salt cream on top that helped cut through the sweetness and made the whole thing feel more balanced. Creamy, refreshing, and not overwhelmingly sweet. There are so many different mixes on the menu that I already know I'll be back to slowly work my way through them.
On our way out of the Rowland Heights area, I noticed Makkee Dessert. I personally love Chinese desserts so I had to stop by and check out this fairly new Cantonese-style dessert shop located at Diamond Plaza. Free parking is plentiful. They offer traditional milk-based sweet soups, teas, and shaved ice. They come in an array of unique textures and flavors that I haven't seen anywhere else. Glad I got a chance to try them. Interior was clean, but not too spacious. It felt tight when walking in certain spots. Seating was more appropriate for smaller groups. Self-ordered via kiosk. Got two of their most popular desserts to-go. It didn't take too long for my order to be ready even though they were super busy. I didn't have much interaction with the staff except at pick-up area. Lady staff was pleasant and nice. Thank you Miss! 1) Makkee Deluxe was delicious. It came with chewy taro balls, red bean, grass jelly, peach gum, and lotus seeds in fresh milk. Overall taste was not super sweet which I appreciate. What elevated this dessert bowl was the sweet lotus seeds. Pleasantly enjoyed! Highly recommend. 2) Mango Snow Black Sticky Rice was just okay. It came frozen which I found odd. It had a combination of mangos and black glutinous rice over milk shaved ice. I didn't get the deep mango flavor. Probably won't get again. Next time I'll try the version that comes with durian. Can't wait. This is a high end dessert spot because the cost of each dessert is over $10+. I can't say the portion justifies the cost. However, the fancy packaging with sturdy cup, bowl, and utensil may be the reason for the higher cost. Nevertheless, I'll still return to try their other specialty desserts and drinks. Thanks Makkee Dessert!
My new friend brought me to this plaza and was drawn to this specific cafe, it was really good!! He had the peach gum drink (he got the ceylon tea base?), and I stuck to jasmine. He called it S-tier boba (milk tea, since we didn't get the actual topping) which I agree, it was so good!! We tried each other's drinks and both were so flavorful, sweet, and refreshing!! Luckily he liked his better and I preferred my own too, but that didn't stop him from having more of mine haha^^ Our orders were ready in under five minutes! Can't comment much on service itself because we used the kiosk and didn't get to interact with the staff, but they seemed friendly and especially speed-efficient The cafe is decorated pretty, with plenty of seating!! It is kinda quiet in there, can't remember if I heard any background music but that must make for a great study spot!
Saw Maklee Dessert at the edge of Diamond Bar Plaza and had to stopped by to check out their menu! Aside from bad parking (traffic flow around this area), Makkee is your place is you like Chinese desserts that aren't overly sweet. The menu is standard and brings back that nostalgic feeling of simple flavors like sweet red bean and taro. The desserts taste comforting and familiar without being too heavy or sugary. Ordering is easy, through the kiosk and the dessert was pretty much just as good as I expected. There are preset combo or you could build your own version--I chose the latter. My favorite is the Red Bean Combo with a side of taro! Definitely a nice spot when you're craving a traditional Chinese-style dessert.
I'm happy to see more traditional Chinese dessert shops opening in the area. Makkee is a popular Chinese dessert chain and it's expanded to Socal. Because it's popular, seating can be a little difficult and you have to be lucky to snag a spot during weekend afternoons. Their Makkee Deluxe has been my consistent favorite of the three times I've visited, it's not too sweet and the toppings are made well. It includes taro balls, red bean, grass jelly, peach gum, and lotus seeds, paired with fresh milk. I feel like if they had a shaved ice version, it'd be sooo good. I've also tried their magno snow black sticky rice, which was solid but nothing to write home about. It may no longer be on the menu, but I felt that their durian item had low quality durian, so I'd skip that.
We came to Makkee on a Saturday evening after having dinner in the same plaza. There are not a lot of seats inside and there can be a line since there is only one kiosk to order from. -- Creamy Snow Matcha Melon [4/5]: The matcha flavor was very subtle. There is black sticky rice on the bottom. I enjoyed the crispy coconut flakes. It was a sweet and savory dessert, which was pretty unique. It is definitely a refreshing dessert for the summer. -- Mango Pomelo Sago [3/5]: I probably would not order this again, since I thought it was nothing special. I will try the mango snow black sticky rice the next time I come here.
Be prepared for a crowd on weekends--the line goes out the door and seating is so scarce you practically have to hunt for a table. They seriously need a second ordering kiosk to help handle the rush. On the bright side, the menu delivers. The Taro Coconut Sago, Mango Pomelo Sago, and Taro Puree & Rice Mochi Milk Tea were all incredibly tasty and hit that sweet spot of not being too sweet. The desserts are worth it, but the lack of floor efficiency is definitely a drawback.
The mango sticky rice shaved ice dessert is sooo good. I came here two days in a row. Giving the food 4 stars but taking 1 star off due to overall cleanliness of the place and restroom.
A popular Chinese dessert chain that's expanding in SoCal. We usually order the Makkee Deluxe which is classic, but decided to try the Creamy Snow Watermelon this time. The cream seemed too rich, not sure if it was the best choice on a hot day. We've yet to try the teas. I think it's a bit pricey and not always easy to find a seat. Nice decor though, and can't wait for the next one to open in SGV
The service was thorough and helpful, guided through the menu and provided a fan because it was so hot. The dessert we got wasn't too sweet so perfect for Asians: taro coconut sago
I don't like durian, my friends do so I've tried them at various places. The durian here is probably the best I've had, though I still don't like it lol The Makkee deluxe here I was expecting some sort of shaved ice style dessert and it had only less ice or no ice option. It was such a sad dessert. Tiny ass portion and no discount when taro balls were sold out. I suppose the actual texture of the items were okay but this was so so disappointing. The black rice, ice cream, milky ice combo was great, if i got that with the mango I think that would be really good. The single ordering kiosk made the queue here so long and you can't see admitting until you get up to it so people take forever to order. Aesthetics of the place were nice at least. Prices seem pretty high for the small portions. The tiny tables make them seem larger than it is. Seems like the popular place these days but I don't understand their mass 5 start reviews.

We were in the area and wanted to have some dessert. We came across this place and saw that they had mango pomelo sago and instantly wanted to try it. There is a walk up kiosk that you place your order and pay. Service was quick and we got our dessert within 5 minutes. The place is clean and quite relaxing. I can see why so many people come here. Their desserts are not too sweet and is the perfect balance for a treat. We also tried the mango snow black sticky rice and it was so refreshing. We will have to come back to try their other desserts. read more
I'm just glad this place isn't right next to my house, or I'd probably gain 20 pounds! These are some of the most delicious Asian-style desserts I've had. What I love most is that everything is only lightly sweetened, allowing the natural flavors to shine. The desserts are rich and creamy without being overly heavy or sugary. They use many traditional Chinese dessert ingredients like peach gum, grass jelly, red beans, lotus seeds, and other classic toppings, so it almost feels like you're eating something healthy... although I'm sure the calories still add up! Every dessert we've tried has been excellent, and it's become one of our favorite places whenever we're craving something sweet. I'm honestly glad I don't live too close because I'd be here all the time. Highly recommended--and fair warning, it's seriously addictive! read more
Pretty good dessert spot with nice service. The seating could be cleaned more often though. I saw a lot of used bowls and leftover napkins just sitting on tables that did not get put away. I tried the peach gum, lotus seed, fresh milk $11.99. It came packaged in a green insulated bag in a take away bowl and with a cute spoon! (I did tell them I was not dining in.) This dessert was surprisingly delicious and not too sweet! I would come back for the mango pomelo sago next time. read more

Went after a filling dinner at Garden Bistro right next door and decided to stop by as there were a lot os people in the store. So.. what's the hype about makkee? We got the mango sago with mini tapioca pearls and the tapioca deluxe. The mango sago with the mini tapioca pearls were surprisingly, not too sweet at all, unlike the drink versions you get a boba stores. Amount of tapioca pearls were great, but I wish that they out more diced mangoes. The dived mangoes were crazy sweet, perfectly ripe! The tapioca deluxe was also really good, the peach gum were a little bit on the softer side but the sweet potato bites were perfectly chewy. Like boba! The red bean were also on the mushier side.. which is not my cup of tea. Although I loved how the grass jelly lightened the whole dessert. Though the store was packed, no regrets on coming here! read more
We came on a Saturday afternoon, there was a good amount of people in store with a small wait. But everything is made very quickly once you place the order. The tapioca deluxe is awesome and highly recommended. It is not too sweet, the cassava is cooked perfectly along with the other ingredients. I really like how the milk is set aside so you can pour in it in based on your own preference. Also, they have oat milk as an alternative, very thoughtful and friendly there. They also hot options on some of their popular items, even better. The store is not too big, so make sure to grab any open seat before making the order if you decide to dine in. The tables are not very clean and organized since it is a self-service method. I would say the portion that you get is not the best with the price you pay, it is a bit pricey. This store is location in a very popular plaza, so parking can be a big issue during rush hour. Overall, this is a great place for desserts and hang out with friends. read more
We had a good experience with first time trying this place. They specialize in Hongkong dessert, with some westernized options (bingsu/shaved ice etc). - Tapioca Deluxe: 4.6/5. Toppings include Sweet Potato balls, Lotus Seeds, Tapioca, Red Bean and Peach Gum. Pairs with their house special milk (tastes similar to Sweetened Whole Milk). You can ask for Oat Milk. - Creme Brulee Boba Milk Tea: 4.5/5. Creamy, boba is on the softer side. Cute interior, recommended to look for a table first before ordering dine in. read more

We came on a Friday at 8:45 PM and holy cow it was PACKED in here. and I mean people were scouting for empty tables and immediately grabbing them when they sense even the SLIGHTEST movement that someone was going to leave!!! Crazy... the line was also slightly long. You don't order directly with them, you order at the kiosk. Got the mango pomelo sago and the taro coconut sago. I've had these desserts countless times growing up and they never get old, and it's just classic Hong Kong dessert. The mango pomelo sago was exactly what it was. Very smooth and creamy, and mangos were very sweet. Very refreshing without feeling too heavy for a dessert. The taro coconut sago was just as good. The taro chunks were soft while the coconut milk made everything creamy and comforting. I especially liked that it wasn't overly sweet and still let the taro flavor come through. Nothing super groundbreaking or out of the world here, just your classic Hong Kong style desserts. It's way too packed though... so next time I would either get takeout or just wait until the hype dies down. read more

Parking might be hard to find, or you have to park far, during peak hours. This spot can also be packed and you might have to wait for seating during peak hours. Came on a decently hot day and the inside wasn't really air conditioned, or maybe it was just not on a low temp. You order on the kiosk and the order comes out decently quick. Pretty solid dessert spot and comparable to meet fresh. read more
The mango sago and mango sticky rice are amazing!!! I wonder if it's not mango season what I would order. While the service is pretty fast, it could be faster by having menus available to the line while they wait. I Asked the employee if the boba drinks were made with real milk and they didn't seem to understand me. So unfortunately I didn't get to try that. Parking was busy when we arrived but our line was short. By the time we finished our food the line was really long but there were a ton of parking spaces. I would definitely go back all the time if the drive wasn't 45 min away. :( read more

Makkee Dessert is a new Chinese dessert shop that originally opened its first store in Shanghai in 2021 and has rapidly expanded over hundreds of locations across China in recent years. This location marks Makkee Dessert's first U.S. location. [Parking]: The shop is located in Diamond Plaza which has a parking lot that is pretty big, but I still ended up parking on the other side of the plaza and walking to the dessert shop. Parking is free. [Ordering]: All customers must place their orders using the lone kiosk. Once the order is ready, customers will receive a text message. Customers can also monitor their order status on the screen. The shop was packed on Sunday at 2:30 PM, but order preparation was surprisingly quick. If customers choose to dine in, they must secure a table before ordering. [Menu]: Top Yelp highlighted items include *fill in the blank* Snow Black Sticky Rice, Mango Sago with Mini Tapioca Pearls, and Mango Pomelo Sago. They also sell milk teas. Please note that mango season runs from April to July (mangos taste the best during the peak season). *** Mango Pomelo Sago ($10.99): A refreshing dessert, but the mango pieces tasted a bit sour. The overall sweetness level was about right. *** Think of Makkee Dessert as a slightly upgraded version of Meet Fresh except Makkee Dessert places a big emphasis on mango. I can see myself revisiting and trying other items on the menu. read more
