We stopped by here for dessert since it was my birthday and close to the restaurant we celebrated my birthday at. We got the ube flan, ube Madeline's, ube cookie. We loved all 3! My husband and myself are particularly in returning to get their ube flan. It was amazing! Beautiful space! Service took a while but not too bad bc it's just one counter and only two person working at that time. read more

Both of you guys were so lovely to talk to! Thank you for the suggestions! I bought the ube flan, brownie, and chocolate cookie I forget the name exactly after a bad dinner (we went to Jollibee after dinner if that says anything) and when I got home decided to eat some sweets from this cute spot! Purple dough has really nice décor and seating inside, I'll be bringing my friends to sit next visit. Everything was great but the ube flan was just SO GOOD. Def will be back to try more of your menu. read more

This is the place to quench your ube cravings. I had a dessert served chilled which tasted like an ice cream cake, the ube cookie, the ube flan and the ube cupcake with some ube milkshake. I could not stop eating even after I was full. The person working was very knowledgeable and helpful as I asked about all my different cravings, and although I did not eat there, the room is nicely lit with amazing pictures of their food offerings as well as a wall of lavender flowers. I want to come back and try the flavored food I did not have the stomach space to lol read more

Purple Dough - Ube donut Ube Ube Leche Flan (mini) - Desserts Near Me - Woodside, New York

Shout out to the very sweet, and very tall gentleman who was super apologetic when telling me they were out of mint lemonade. He made our visit so lovely. Staying true to their reputation, Purple Dough was a perfect end to the hot day. Known for their Ubé treats, I was happy to see they had some available for the day. I snagged my fav, their chocolate crinkle cookie, and a few Ubé cupcakes and vegan cake donuts to bring to my family. Don't be afraid to take pics in front of their purple flower wall. She's so cute, and it makes it that much more inviting to stay here. As we left I sipped on my hibiscus tea and it was so nice a refreshing and made me not miss my mint lemonade at all. read more

I came here after Amazing Grace for dessert. It was a sweet walk over a few blocks, as they have changed locations from where they were before (by 69th street). I got the ube cake and ice cream in a jar, I have never tried it, and I would get it again! The cake was moist and both cake and ice cream didn't over power each other and were a sweet balance of flavor. Thank you guys for the dessert and please keep up the great work! read more

Purple Dough - Ube Purple Yam Crinkle Cookie Jar Cake - Cake with Ice Cream (1 pint Mason Jar) - Desserts Near Me - Woodside, New York

I understand why this place has had a lot of attention and their best seller is the Ube Leche Flan ($10). I pass by this bakery/cafe a lot after hours from Long Beach and the LIRR - Woodside stop. Finally decided to treat myself and even though the price point is a bit high for the item, it was worth it. Have never had leche flan before, thought it was a weird invention of an egg custard on top of cake. I have also never thought much about Ube as a flavor, there wasn't anything distinct about it, even though people love it. A conversation with the owner changed my mind - I was originally looking for a pandan dessert. I also got 2 small cupcake bites (Thai Tea & Earl Grey). Even though they were simple unfrosted tiny cupcakes, they were very moist & had good distinct flavors. The Ube Leche Flan was a lightly soaked cake and for me, the egg custard felt like a decadent icing. It's also a fairly heavy dessert, and only requires a few bites. It lasted about 2-3 days for me, for a smallish 5-6" piece. All of the components worked really well together and of course - it wasn't too sweet! I've tried a similar Leche Flan at another older Filipino bakery in Queens & it brought me here to write a review - Purple Dough's making it so much better. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming. The space is big and feels a bit empty at times, but that's OK because it sounds like they do well with custom cakes and weddings. The time I went in and when I passed by, I've only seen just a few tables full. It'd probably be a decent place to work since it seems quiet. There's decorations throughout and it feels very homey with a little bit DIY. (Bench with a green wall for selfies). Think one time the young daughter of the owner was "working" at the counter. I hope families enjoy the space. The business is under a 10 minute walk from different stations off the R, 7, and LIRR. It's a low-key area of Woodside but with a lot of gems - The OG Thai restaurant, Sripriphai (cash only!), 3 Aunties Thai Grocery (closes early!), other south asian restaurants; a Pupuseria (with Horchata de Morro) nearby. Too bad Dollar Hits closed. Definitely worth a visit! About 30 minutes from Manhattan. read more

Purple Dough - Ube flan , Mini Cupcake - Ube - Desserts Near Me - Woodside, New York

I love ube and this place was definitely ube heaven. My friends and I were passing by one day and decided to try a couple of desserts. We got the ube madelines (picture attached), ube flan cake (unfortunately was devoted before picture ), ube latte (also forgot to take picture), a coconut Pandan jar cake with Pandan ice cream (picture attached) and a ube mini cupcake (picture attached). Firstly, the ube flan cake was definitely a fan favorite. It was one of the last desserts to touch the table and the first ones to be finished. The coconut pandan jar cake with the Pandan ice cream was one of my personal favorites although I do have to warn you, DO NOT COME WITH A FULL STOMACH. I wanted to finish this so badly but unfortunately I had to tap out. The ube latte with coffee was not very sweet which was perfect for me because I do not like to drink anything too sweet when eating sweets. Now, I would've given a 4.5 stars if possible because the Madelines and the mini cupcake was a little on the drier side for me, however, both the cashiers that day were super sweet and their service honestly made me and my friends days. This made me definite that the store deserved its full 5 stars! I will definitely be back to try more desserts and take in the vibes of the store! read more

Second time stopping by. Both times, the bakery items did not taste/feel fresh but rather a day or two old combined with refrigeration which makes the cake stiffer. Personally I prefer lighter and fluffier cakes while I would describe these items as a denser bite. However, I do love the variety of flavors. Can't name another place that offers as many appetizing flavors as this bakery. read more

Purple Dough - Ube and banana pudding cupcake - Desserts Near Me - Woodside, New York

Located a block from Roosevelt Ave. Metered and street-cleaning parking nearby. Went once to their previous location. This one is spacious, with a few tables (I feel can fit more), a purple flower wall and bench for photo-ops. Restroom available (with a key). Menu on the wall, mostly for beverages. Tried the Durian bubble tea $5- just ok. At the counter, can see the baked/dessert items with their prices. A variety to choose from. Tried their coco pandan and mango mini cake flans. I liked the flan - rich, dense, sweet so small portion only for me. The cake was a smaller layer compared to the flan so the flavors weren't as noticeable. Price was good at $5. Am not a cupcake person but liked the ube cupcake texture and taste. Only $3. Smaller cupcakes available for $1 each- if you want a taste of a few flavors. read more

The place is very cute and chill. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I got the Ube cannolis, ube cupcakes, ube flan coconut pandan shake, and taro bubble tea. Ube cannolis were my favorite, shells were crunchy and the filling was the perfect sweetness and flavor. The ube flan was good, but maybe I should've let it sit out for a little. Its was a bit firm. Cupcakes were as expected, delicious. Taro bubble tea was ok, the Boba was overcooked and had a bitter flavor. Coconut pandan shake was refreshing and it had sago in it. read more

Run, don't walk to this Woodside gem! In their bigger, slightly more central location now that's closer to the 61st 7 express stop, there's more room to sit and enjoy the tasty treats they have to offer in a cafe setting versus the former more bakery pickup one. The must tries of course are any of the Filipino flavored treats - the ube flan in particular. The flan is not super sweet nor dripping in sauce and is actually on the firmer side, which I prefer. It's the perfect accompaniment for the flavor of the ube cake on top. I've tried the mango version of this one as well, but anything short of fresh mango chunks or slices is hard to achieve peak mango flavor in my opinion. And this is really hard to come by when not peak mango season, so the ube version still topped my list. The only challenge is the operating hours, which means this spot can only be an late afternoon treat versus mid-morning or earlier say for coffee and a dessert item. I'm certain a lot of their business is catering orders, so I get it. No matter what, you can miss a visit here for a sweet treat when in the Woodside woods. read more

Ate here today on a really hot day after work as a substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 361 Q that I only brought and ate the halo halo. It had tasted really good and sweet. The service there was also attentive, friendly and super fast and thanks to Chris for naking my halo halo really good and efficient. I couldn't agree more about it. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :) read more

Purple Dough - Desserts Near Me - Woodside, New York

Purple Dough branded itself as the solution to NY's lack of Filipino pastries but that only goes as far as name only. There's nothing creative beyond slapping ube into dough and calling it a day. An ube enema would be more novel. I've patroned once and a few of my friends have gone on separate occasions and the general consensus is "eh". Bottom line is the pastries are dry and flavor is lacking. Even dryer is the cashier's attitude. She was even snarky to my friend. I'm sorry do you not want our money? read more

Craving something sweet and decided to try this spot out. We decided to get the coco pandan shake, calamansi nice, ube flan, ube cupcakes and a couple of their donuts. It was delicious!

I was in Queens and I wanted to visit Kora for dessert, but they closed at 4pm so I started to search online for the next best thing and ended up at Purple Dough. Bought several items to go. I enjoyed their Ube latte and their Ube flan. And they had something called a silvana cookie which was pretty good! It is a Filipino cookie consisting of a layer of buttercream sandwiched between two cashew-meringue wafers coated with cookie crumbs. Def recommend the Ube pistachio flavor. Also tried the $1 cupcake, calamansi flavor and it was just okay. read more

We got ube silvanas and ube cupcakes. The silvanas were good, small and NOT worth it for the price. The cupcakes were dry and tasted what resembles like a week old cupcake. Again, not worth the $$$. This place has so much potential considering its space and location. read more

If you like tropical flavors - ube, pandan, coconuts, mango, guava, and more, this is the place for you! They have a wide selection of mini cupcakes with interesting flavors. Although the flavors are unique, it's difficult to really differ between these flavors with such a small bite. I think there's a lot of potential playing with these unique flavors - but just the cupcake itself with whipped cream was too plain and the taste didn't stand out. We also got the Ube and the coconut pandan flan. The dessert was exciting as there is also a layer of cake underneath the flan. It was a bit too sweet for me but the normal size is perfect to share for 2-3 people. This is my first time trying mais con yelo since it's a famous Filipino desserts. It's definitely an acquired taste. The dessert consists of milk shaved ice with vanilla ice cream topped with boiled corn. The portion size was huge I was able to only eat 10% of it. Definitely stop by whenever you're around Jackson Heights. It's a nice place to relax and take a small desserts break. The staffs are super friendly. read more

Ordered hot chocolate & a vanilla cupcake. The hot chocolate was average and the cupcake was a bit dry so I was disappointed. Also, this place was a little on the dirty side: Every seat we almost sat at was dirty so we moved until we were by the last seat. And the floor was sticky - you heard every step. I'll continue to look for the best hot chocolate spots in the neighborhood. The service was friendly though so thank you ! read more

Service is nice! 10/10 couldnt ask for more from a bakery. read more

Came here after a disappointing dinner at a restaurant just down the street and this place really saved the night! Ordered the ube flan and also got a couple mini cupcakes for free from their Yelp check-in offer. Their mini cupcakes are pretty forgettable in my opinion, but hey they were free so can't complain (also showed up about an hour or so before closing). What really knocked this place out of the park for me was the ube flan though. It was served warm and wow it was epitome of the Asian parent dessert eating trope of "not too sweet". The ube cake part was extremely moist and the flan added a nice layer of sweet/silkiness to things without being overbearing. It was a great dessert and I would absolutely love to get a full sized one for the next time I have a birthday party or event I need to bring dessert. Otherwise, space itself is pretty standard. A few tables and chairs and a small couch. Cute small business type cafe and you can see the open kitchen in the back. People working were friendly. Would definitely recommend trying their ube flan and I plan to come back to try more of their desserts! read more

I came with my friend to Purple Dough because I was interested in Filipino desserts, I love ube flavor desserts, and I have always wanted to try Halo Halo. Unfortunately, I don't think this was a good place to try it. To my understanding, Halo Halo is supposed to be composed of layers: shaved ice, condensed milk, jellies, flan, macapuno, palm seeds, sweetened red beans, shaved ice, ube ice cream, fresh fruit, toasted coconut flake, etc. Ingredients with contrasting textures that when mixed together give you chewy, crunchy, creamy, and sticky. The Halo Halo ($10) here did not really have layers, the ice was chunky and stuck together, the flan did not taste good, and minimal fruit. Only the small scoop of ube icre-cream and the ube paste was good. The ube latte ($5) had a strong ube flavor. The shop is very spacious and open, but service was a little slow despite us being the only party sitting in at the time. read more

Such a great selection of Filipino desserts here in Woodside. The Halo Halo came in an awesome jar that I've kept and reused at home. It came with all the classic toppings. I also got the calamansi, Ube, coco pandan mini cupcakes and ube puto. I felt these were lacking flavor and I couldn't really tell the difference between them. The ube latte was good overall, but also missing on a strong ube flavor. Overall it's a cute spot and I'd come back for the halo halo read more

This place has really pretty interior and the workers were great! There's a nice wall with purple flowers with a sofa that you can take a photo in front of, and a display of wedding cakes near the counter. We got the Crinkle Cookie, an ube cupcake and the Ube Leche Flan. The cupcake and cookie were perfect but we found the flan to be way too sweet. We split one flan among four people and yet I still felt myself developing a sugar rush. Had it not been for that, I would probably give this place five stars. I would be willing to come back to try some of the other stuff if I ever find myself in this area. read more

I've recently [earlier in 2023] discovered / developed an intense affinity with UBE. It is such an incredible and irresistible flavor! Had some Ube ice cream at a shop in NJ, but Purple Dough takes the [DELICIOUS UBE] cake! The counter-serve place is spacious and it offers a few tables, and a sit down area that is adorned with purple flowers (how nicely fitting!). Everything that we got was soooo good - such a delectable, fun, and delicious treat!! Highly would recommend. For me, it may be a few months until I'm able to afford another treat again! read more

Came here due to reading they made Ube pastry. We came here near closing time ordered Halo Halo, it is with shave ice and different, types of treats, candi fruits beans and top off with Ube ice cream. Since it was close to closing time the Halo Halo was put in a Mason jar to go, the Halo Halo should not be packed into a jar, it should be done in layers. First there were too much ice, not shave finely, beans was under cooked, not much of candi fruits and ice cream, only the ube ice was good. We ordered flan over ube cake, that was good, cake had ube flavor and flan was smooth and not too sweet. read more

I think it's criminal that I haven't updated my review to reflect my new, exceptionally positive, experiences at Purple Dough. Since my previous, less than stellar review, I've had the pleasure to stop by several times. Each time was a great experience and I couldn't be happier to share with others. These folks are still doing what they do best, making great baked goods and providing excellent customer service. The new space has a similar selfie-friendly wall as the last location, but now with way more seating. My go-to here is always the ube flan. You get the best of both worlds, that delicious custard with the richness of the ube. I love coming here solo, if I'm in the area, but I'll also go out of the way if I'm with friends that want something sweet to eat after drinks or dinner. If I'm having Thai in the area, this is where I go after. If I'm having korean friend chicken wings, this is where I go after. If I'm having tacos, this is where I go after. Highly recommend everyone to enjoy some of the amazing baked goods here. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet after dinner or just want to treat yourself, you'll be glad you stopped by. read more

Purple Dough - Fun selfie-friendly wall - Desserts Near Me - Woodside, New York

I've read so many good things about Purple Dough, I had to make a special trip from the other side of Queens out here. Maybe they just had an off day but I sincerely hope this is not their norm. We got their chocolate cookie, ube cookie, ube cake, and some cupcakes. Everything tasted like soap! To be exact, it tasted like Dawn Dish Detergent. It's almost like a little bit of Dawn got into the mixing bowl and that's all I taste. The ube cake was the only thing that tasted like it should. Though I don't think it's anything special. The cake was incredibly dense and it tasted fine...but compared to the rest of the things we got, the cake was phenomenal. I won't make another special trip out here...but I may give Purple Dough another try if I happen to be in Woodside. The only reason why I didn't give a 1 star is because the staff was very nice. read more

This is such a quaint spot. It is very minimalist with a decent amount of seating and a cute photo wall that's perfect for IG. The menu is expansive enough and is perfect for all the ube lovers out there because almost everything has ube! The ladies who were behind the counter were very sweet and helpful to our large party. We opted for their Halo-Halo and also grabbed two bite-sized cupcakes. I loved their Halo-Halo! It was so creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. The bite-sized cupcakes came in a variety of flavors such as green tea, calamansi, and (you guessed it!) ube! We enjoyed our green tea and ube flavors. Our group also tried the Jackfruit cake, which was interesting and pretty good. They have other desserts and baked goods, including lattes, bubble tea, flan, cookies, ice cream, and cake donuts. I recommend popping by this spot if you're in the neighborhood and craving some unique and yummy desserts! read more
