    Cacao Egg Foam Latte
    Millena P.

    I've been here a few times, and safe to say this is one of my favorite dessert spots in OC. Parking: Free parking lot. They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a parking spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small/medium space with a good amount of indoor seating. Perfect for a date, a fun family spot, and I even noticed some people studying. Minimalist decor. Service: Every encounter we had with a worker was nice. They're very transparent about the wait times. If you're ordering a soufflé, it'll take about 15 min per soufflé. Drinks will come out faster. Since there were a few parties ahead of us, we waited about 40 min for our soufflés. Dessert & drinks: Trust me, it's worth the wait. Their soufflés are very fluffy and jiggly. Surprisingly, they're not overly sweet (depending on what you order). I've tried majority of their soufflés, and I enjoy them all. You can share this between two people. As for their drinks, the teas are refreshing, the smoothies are delicious, and the coffee is okay. Pricing: Prices are pretty high, but it's worth it. Treat yourself once in a while!

    Matcha Eispanner 75% sugar
    Allie N.

    Ordered for pick up and the drinks were perfectly made. The Matcha flavor is ceremonial and doesn't taste artificial. The black sesame was really good and I could taste the roasted flavor in the drink, but it wasn't overpowering the Matcha. The flavors blended together perfectly. Both drinks were not too sweet at 75% sugar. Overall, good drinks. Will be back again!

    Mango Sticky Rice
    Samantha C.

    Came in with a friend to try a coffee and sweet treat. Theres Plenty of seating, clean esthetic and the staff greeted upon entry. I got the Banana Pudding Latte and taramisu soufflé pancakes, she got a Strawberry milk and mango sticky rice. The Latte had a scoop of yummy banana Pudding on top, this was a first for me. I enjoyed the texture and flavor or the pudding while sipping the latte. It was quite delicious. The taramisu souffle was yummy, but I was expecting a little more in regards to flavor. The texture of the pancakes was perfect and the cream top was good, just seemed to miss a little something. Im not a mango person and I have never tried sticky rice before. It had mango, rice, shaved ice and condensed milk. It was pleasantly refreshing and well balanced with sweetness and flavors. The price point is kind of hight, but you do get pretty big portion sizes. We enjoyed everything overall, I just dont know if it wowed me enough to return.

    Izzy rated the fish balls 5/5. He gave calamari a solid 4/5.

    My son has been asking me to come back, so we decided to return and try out the drinks this time, as well as a little bit of everything else. I brought home Jinggly cat pudding for the family. (It's so darn cute!) So far, my favorites are the matcha cloud jasmine tea and the ube soufflé.

    I got the tiramisu soufflé, and I would say I was a bit disappointed, it didn't really meet my expectations. I was hoping for more in terms of flavor and texture, but it just didn't quite stand out for me. That being said, the service was quick and efficient, and there are plenty of seating areas available, which makes it a comfortable place to sit and hang out. I just personally expected a bit more from the soufflé, especially considering the price point, which felt a little high for what it was. Overall, it was still nice to try, but it's probably not something I would reorder.

    Went back for the soufflés. I got the tiramisu one, which was the best seller, followed by the strawberry and Nutella. They said the wait time was 30 minutes, and I actually timed it because the place was packed. I was a bit skeptical, but they actually made it in 21 minutes. The soufflé isn't sweet at all; it's airy, and the toppings help add the sweetness. Excited to try more.

    Japanese pancakes
    Yasmin I.

    Great spot for Japanese pancakes! They're fluffy, delicious, and the service is quick and convenient. I also appreciated that there weren't long lines. The only things I'd love to see are a simple coffee option and maybe a side of eggs to round out the meal. Other than that, the pancakes are definitely worth a visit.

    Nutella Soufflé pancake
    Kat H.

    The tiramisu soufflé was not as good as I imagined it. The pancakes were fluffy and thick but there was not enough cream around it to give it that tiramisu flavor. The cup of coffee made it worse because it was bitterness on top of the flavorless pancakes. Also the amount of cacao powder made it more bitter and dry. The banana matcha was not good. Service was bad this day. They didn't greet nor look welcoming while taking order.

    Ube Coco Souffle
    Linda K.

    We came here at night, and one great thing about this place is that it stays open quite late. I ordered the "current hype" -- the Ube Soufflé -- and the staff mentioned there would be about a one-hour wait before it could be served. Since it already took us nearly an hour to get here, I decided to wait for it anyway. To my surprise, the soufflé actually arrived in less than an hour, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the Ube flavor itself was a little disappointing for my personal taste, as I felt it didn't pair as well with the soufflé texture as expected. Perhaps next time I'd try a different flavor instead of the Ube. Decor was minimalist though and place looked quite cozy.

    Matcha egg foam latte and sesame coffee.
    Judy D.

    Got the double matcha this time and it was really good!! But 4 stars because it's pricy $8 for a regular sized cup vs some other places. Quality was good but definitely not cheap.

    Tiramisu Souffle
    Meleia O.

    We got the lychee pudding tea and tiramisu soufflé. The wait for the tea was about 5 min, and the soufflé was ~20-25 min. The place has a lot of seats available and lots of nice natural light coming in (no wait in line when we arrived). The soufflé was nice and bouncy, the flavors of tiramisu were consistent but the pancake itself was kind of underwhelming. My husband liked the tea but I thought it was a bit too tarte. The price is fair if you're ordering for yourself or to share! I enjoyed the side of chocolate ice cream and banana with the soufflé! It complements the dish well.

    Mochi Avo Coco (on the right)
    Arthur E.

    Went for an after dinner dessert / drink. Was hoping for more non-caffeinated options but looked like it was primarily smoothies. Ended up with the avo-coco which I was hoping had more balance of coconut with the avocado. It was definitely more avocado forward though. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. The pancakes looked good but didn't get to try them.

    Nutellamisu Mouse Souffle and Strawberry Souffle
    Tina H.

    Must try! The soufflé pancakes are unreal. I got strawberry and I ordered the Nutella. Delicious. You can definitely share one with two people. It comes with ice cream!!! The sesame coffee was unreal. We also had the popcorn chicken. Delish. Come here for some comfort food.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!

The owner clearly holds this location to a high standard, especially compared to the Bolsa locations. I haven't ordered a single item that wasn't fresh, although it may help that I usually stop by right when they open. What really stands out is how much the staff cares about the customer experience. They're friendly, work efficiently, and get your food out quickly so you can get on with your day. The prices are fair, especially considering inflation as of July 2026. My usual order is four bánh bao and a chè for a snack, which comes to about $17.95. This location is also very convenient if you're heading northbound on Brookhurst, which is my usual route to work. Parking can be a little tricky, but customers are in and out pretty quickly, so it's usually not a problem. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. Their bánh mì heo quay is also really good! My only suggestion would be to add a little more pickled carrot and daikon to the sandwiches. Other than that, this place is an easy 5 stars.

He was rushing my mom and felt irritated that she was asking questions. There were rau cau that came in singles and rau cau that came in 6. I never knew that the ones that came in six were just display and not for sale. My mom wanted to save the dude from grabbing single ones, so she asked for the tray of 6 Pandan coconut. He gave my mom attitude saying that he only sell the single ones. If she insisted in buying the tray of 6 then it will be extra cost. Lol in that case we rather get in singles..duh! More convenient to eat...crazy! Afterwards, when he noticed that my mom was buying more stuff, he kinda stopped with his attitude. Like yo...chill. One or two items, you're still making money. That how you became you today!!! I gonna give this place another chance. In the future, if he still act such ways..it's goodbye for good. For sure, I will lower the ratings as well. Place is lucky that although the service went down but the quality still the same.
