The vanilla cream puff was packed with vanilla cream and would definitely recommend. The matcha soft serve has an authentic matcha taste and is not overly sweet. Overall, pretty good. Would be back to try more items on the menu. read more

Shuu Cafe is a small Asian style dessert cafe that offers Asian styled drinks, desserts (soft serve, waffles, cakes, and puffs). When you enter there a few areas to sit around and up at the front you can see the menu on the TV and through the glass you can see the puffs that they have available. I've only ever gotten the puffs and the cakes. They have a few different flavors (matcha, black sesame, Biscoff, oreo, etc.) and I've tried most if not all of them and they're all fairly good, not too sweet. In my opinion they taste a bit better once refrigerated for a few hours. The tres leches and strawberry matcha cakes are good as well, again, not too sweet. I'd like to try the soft serve sometime. A bit on the more expensive side so I only go there when the craving for the Asian style puffs are there. The service overall was good as the people working the front don't mind explaining the flavors of the different types of items they have for sale. read more

Heaven in a box. My son raved about this place and brought me a vanilla cream puff. What a delightful taste experience! It came home in a super cute box. I opened it and it looked great. Almost like a cream filled donut but oh..when I cut it in half, the cream slowly came out. It was light and reminded me of melted vanilla ice cream. The crust was soft and not flaky or crumbly - a nice soft but firm enough texture. Would love to try more flavors. read more

Super cute cafe located in plainsboro plaza mall. Came in on a warm day craving ice cream and got the taro/coffee swirl soft serve. Place was relatively empty and the guy that took my order was super friendly and answered all my questions patiently The soft serve was huge, I'd definitely recommend sharing with someone but it was really refreshing and delicious. Taro kind of reminded me of cereal milk and paired well with the coffee which was slightly bitter Have to come back and try the cream puffs! read more

Cute little Cafe in a strip mall along with an Asian food market, pho today restaurant, pizza place, and much more. I was excited to see that they had black sesame soft serve as that flavor is hard to find in NJ. They also have cream puffs!! Firstly, the cream puffs are amazing! We tried the matcha flavor and the strawberry flavor. The cream is light and fluffy, which reminded me of cool whip consistency. Also not too sweet either which I loved. The matcha flavor was light and could be a bit stronger. The strawberry one was my favorite. Strong strawberry flavor that kept you wanting more. The cream puff itself was also very light and not heavy so you weren't left with that uncomfortable feeling afterwards. Moving onto the black sesame soft serve. This was a bit too sweet for my liking. It was like eating a spoonful of sugar with every bite! It might go well with the bubble waffle though, but by itself was definitely too much. Service was very friendly everything looked well cleaned and tidy. Overall, I would go back to try their other cream puff flavors as well as the bubble waffle and drinks. read more

Had a delicious matcha cream puff here which was really refreshing and fresh. The shell was crispy while the cream was not heavy but very refreshing and tasty. My son wouldn't let me get a taste of his ice cream but his youthful lingo was that it tasted spectacularly OP. The prices are not bad too. My son had a large chocolate soft serve ice cream. Together with the big cream puff it came out to only $11. Much better than cold stone prices and the flavor was great. read more

Shuu Cafe is a hidden delight! The bubble waffles are freshly made to order, and absolutely fabulous - crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The combination of warm waffle, cold ice cream, and crunchy toppings is phenomenal. They also have beautiful cream puffs, as well as tea and coffee drinks, both hot and cold. Aside from the food, the space is bright and airy with ample seating. I'll definitely be going back soon! read more

Been to this place since opening and love has it has grown to become a spot to visit for a treat or have a coffee while on my laptop. The display case looks sparse but that's probably because many items are made/served to order, like waffles and ice cream. The service is always pleasant and chipper. It might be more cozy with darker hues in decor because the space is large and bright, but otherwise it's great! read more

Their soft serve is amazing! The matcha was 10/10. The service was impeccable. The soft serve wasn't coming out to their liking so they offered us another flavor on the house. We also tried the creme puffs they had. My mother went back a few days later to get more they were so good! read more

The best ice cream ever. Black Sesame is by far my favorite. Their vanilla is also the best i've ever had. The cream puffs are phenomenal. It's a cute cafe and great service. My only complaint would be not being able to try flavors. read more

When I am in the area this is my go to for something sweet but not too sweet. I love the strawberry puff is so light. I usually bring some back home and they get eaten in less than 1 hour. The tea is perfect combination to make this trip complete. They have WiFi which is perfect if you want to get work done. Tables are available inside. Service always has always been great. Is located in the shopping center so parking surplus is available. read more

Black sesame soft serve had a strong back sesame flavor which was good cause sometimes places just taste like vanilla Lemon cream puff with the sugar top reminded me of fruity pebbles. I would get this again but eat it right away. We were too full from dinner so we kept it until the next morning. The bottom became soggy read more

Such a cute spot! Tried a create your own bubble waffle with black sesame ice cream, strawberries, and mochi bits, as well as the passion green tea - both of which were delicious! The egg waffles were chewy with just the right amount of crispness when you first bite into it and it goes well with the soft serve. I look forward to trying the other flavors! The tea was great as well. There is a good amount of seating and there are some outlets available. Wifi is available as well. Service was quick. read more

Wow! The soft serve and cream puffs are outstanding. We discovered this place and drove a half hour to check it out. Super clean, really nice, incredible quality, and not to be missed! Well deserving of more than 5 stars!! read more

Creampuffs have an unassuming elegance. A humble golden dome crown that belies the richness within. A perfectly crisp exterior, christened with a dusting of powdered sugar like the first frost of winter. Inside, a voluptuous cream that exists both light and airy, and yet dense and rich. A cloud of perfection. Each bite an experience in texture and taste, crispiness of the pastry and cool, luxurious cream. Shuu Cafe's cream puffs are a bit on the sweeter side, depending on the flavor. Highly recommend the classic vanilla. The Hong Kong style egg waffle pairs well with the creamy black sesame ice cream. Add rainbow sprinkles for good measure. Shuu Cafe's staff is sweet and friendly. Dessert from Shu's pairs well with your meal nearby at Pho Today. Nice little Asian mall. read more

Cute little dessert spot! We hit this up after lunch at Pho Today, which was a perfect ending to our meal. We ended up hanging out for another hour or so here, which they seem to welcome. Everyone working there was friendly and sweet. We had the black sesame soft serve - my first time trying the flavor. I'm not quite sure I'd get it again but I did enjoy tasting it. They have some other Asian-style flavors that I'd love to try another time, like taro and matcha, in a bubble waffle. I ordered the lemon cream puff and it was so good! The filling was perfectly lemony and the puff had a nice crunch. It was a good size and there's a lot of filling inside too. I'm not sure that this would last long and keep that crunch, so I'd recommend eating in café if possible. read more

Shuu Cafe is a cute little dessert shop that is perfectly nestled in between the restaurant strip in Plainsboro Square. It's a great stop for a snack or a post meal dessert, especially if you want something mostly light, and not super sweet. I will admit that as someone with a sweet tooth, I was hoping for a little bit more flavor and excitement from the desserts I tried. But with that being said, the desserts were obviously well crafted, beautiful to look at, and not bad at all to eat. However, I was pleasantly surprised by their Passionfruit-Ade and will definitely be going back for another one. read more

5/5 | Sesame Soft Serve | $5.30 5/5 | Strawberry Ade | $5.30 My friends were raving about this place and rightfully so! Shuu Cafe has a variety of drink, bakery, and soft serve options that all looked delicious! I tried the sesame soft serve and strawberry ade. For the soft serve, you could really taste the sesame flavor and the ice cream was delicious and creamy. Would also recommend the strawberry ade where they use an *addicting* strawberry syrup. The cafe has lots of seating and would be a great place to study! Service was also great. read more

Stumbled upon this cafe and was so worth it. The cream puffs were so amazing there are no words to describe the fluffiness, sweetness, and lightness this provided me. To top it all off, the black sesame ice cream was divine. Divine. I have had my fair share of black sesame ice cream but this takes it all. And the best part of it all, the highest compliment that I can provide is that it's not too sweet. If you want something that will hit that sweet treat craving this place is it. read more

Good new Asian dessert spot in the heart of Plainsboro. I already know this will be a popular hang out spot in the area for young people. My friends and I went late (8:15pm) and they were sold out of a lot of things, but that's to be expected at that time of day. We ordered the matcha soft serve on the bubble waffle and a strawberry shortcake. They said it would take 8 minutes and then forgot about the soft serve, but we're very nice when we asked them about it and got to making it right away-it was late and the spot is new so I feel like some hiccups are to be forgiven, especially considering how busy it was too at that hour! The shortcake was very good, aesthetically pleasing, and exactly what I wanted out of a strawberry shortcake. When the waffle did arrive, it was very yummy-the waffle was bouncy and eggy and the ice cream was good too. Definitely will be back if I'm craving a dessert or just to catch up with friends! Great hangout spot. read more

I finally got a chance to visit Shuu and I was not disappointed! The inside is very neat and aesthetic, and the bathrooms are very clean as well. I got the matcha and peppermint hint chocolate (seasonal special) cream puffs and they were amazing -- there's so much cream filling and I liked the shell even without the cream. You can honestly get pretty full with just one but I shared with my boyfriend. We also got a small iced americano and it was huge! Definitely check out if you want something cute and yummy :) read more

The cheese cake is very tasty, not too filling or too sweet. Cream puffs are also very good.

My family was all-praise for this place and I decided to try it out! Boy it did not disappoint!! We got the cream puffs, the matcha cream puff and the vanilla cream puff. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The cream filling was rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. The texture was light, airy, and perfectly complemented by the crispy exterior. This will be my go-to place for a quick dessert and coffee when in the area! read more

Bubble waffles. Somehow, I had never heard of such a thing just a few short months ago. Now, they're seemingly everywhere, but maybe that's just because now I know to look for them. Bubble waffles are absolutely delicious, and Shuu Cafe has excellent versions of them. On my visit, I was slightly overwhelmed by the numerous choices, so I asked the very friendly employees behind the counter what they'd suggest for someone who isn't a huge fan of chocolate. Their consensus choice was the Strawberry Delight: a bubble waffle "cone" filled with vanilla soft serve, whipped cream, crushed graham crackers, strawberries and condensed milk. It was a good suggestion. Trying to eat it without a spoon and napkin is definitely a fool's errand, as it is as messy as it is delicious. After finishing it, the staff asked me how I enjoyed it and seemed to be genuinely interested in my opinion. I enjoyed my dessert here, not only was the food delicious, the space itself was bright, welcoming and exceptionally clean, and the employees showed a great deal of pride in their work. The only reason it isn't getting 5 stars is that the prices are a bit high for what you get. Still, this is a great place for a special occasion kind of dessert or when you feel the need to treat yourself. I'll certainly be back. read more

This place has a bright, and modern aesthetic. Extremely clean and I can see this as an excellent work space. Lots of booth tables available with plugs easily accessible. I ordered a Ceylon black ice milk tea, a strawberry cream puff and a bubble waffle. Really great desserts served here. Like very authentic HK taste in regards to the black tea and bubble waffle. I think it's probably the best bubble waffle in the area - I call it the "Chinatown grandma cart" level of authentic and taste IYKYK. Highly recommend this place for an after meal snack. I'll be back soon! read more

They always check with us after we get our drinks to make sure they okay and offer to make changes if we want them (we never have needed any adjustments, they do such a good job).
