    Purple lavender flower wall
    Erber D.

    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

    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.

    Mini cupcakes
    Ellen C.

    Filipino bakery with southeast Asian flavored desserts. Purchases a 20 pack of mini cupcakes in flavors like Thai iced tea, pandan, earl grey, etc. loved all the different flavors. Normally each mini cupcake is $1 each but if you buy 20, it's $15 plus tax.

    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!

    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.

    Ube flan , Mini Cupcake - Ube

    Absolutely delish treats! Flavorful but not too sweet! The service was great! Would highly recommend.

    Jar Cake - Coconut Pandan
    Lily L.

    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!

    Halo Halo

    Super cute filipino bakery in woodside! My partner & I have been looking for the best halo halo and right now this is our favorite one! Super friendly staff and the halo halo was made fresh super quick. We ordered this to go and they served it in a mason jar. Definitely will be reusing this glass jar at home. Definitely will be coming back soon to try out other goodies

    Ube and banana pudding cupcake

    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.

    Ube cupcake, Durian Bubble Tea, 2 mini flan cakes
    kristin c.

    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.

    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.

    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! :)

The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)! For some reason, I love the coconut thai tea from here and always find myself craving it.

Service is either a bit slow, they were backed up or they don't work on your app orders until you arrive and ask for it. Still, not exactly egregious and I'm trying to be understanding, though how they get backed up with 5 workers behind the counter is a little confusing. Still, the service is always friendly and the shop is cute so it's a good reminder to slow down and take it all in. Ambience is fine. Dark walls but well lit. Batches of seats up front and in the back separated by the service counter. Lots of Knick knacks for sale. They've got some pastries and sandwiches but I've never sampled them so I don't have much to add. I usually get some kind of Americano and the coffee flavors really come thru without excess bitterness. I'll also note, they've fixed their cups. Early on, their coffee cups to go used to leak but that's been rectified at least for the past few months. Definitely a good choice if you're looking for a proper brew.
