My friend and I got into LA the night before a concert and had some extra time, so we knew we absolutely had to make a stop at Tu Cha. We've seen all the viral fruit pastries online, and were so excited to try them. When we got in, we were able to see all of the options on display and they had a big menu telling you exactly what was in each one. You order off of a kiosk, which makes it incredibly easy to order. Almost all of our pastries were ready before we had even left the kiosk, which was great! I went with the mango and the peach, both of which were fantastic! The shortbread cookie underneath both was delicious, the mango mousse and filling tasted so fresh and amazing. The peach had an Earl Grey cream and fresh peach chunks as well. Both were in the classic white chocolate shell. These are so cute, fun to eat, very refreshing, and not overly sweet. The shop itself is adorable, plenty of seating, great decor and the staff was super friendly and very nice! These fruit pastries have absolutely gone viral, and there's many shops that do them, but Tu Cha is hands-down, the best! read more

The drink itself is small thats one thing, only a spoonful (not a FULL literally just a normal spoon of rice and some bits were hard, no coconut flavor. its really just a mango smoothie, if i knew it was gonna taste like this i wouldve gone to my nearby boba shop and gotten it for $6. read more

It's just tiktok hype, save the time and get dessert somewhere else What I ate: - Lemon shaped was probably the best of the flavors I tried. I also like the mango shaped one. The peach shaped and was forgettable Pros: - The cakes are very very cute and amazing to look at - Shop inside had a few tables. It seemed like most were just couples or a few friends sharing - Kiosk ordering do no need for human interaction if you don't want it Cons: - I really hated that the flavors did not match up to the cake shapes. I think I liked the lemon shaped one the best because it has the most citrusy passionfruit flavor. But when I break into the mango shaped cake, I expect a strong mango flavor. If the flavors were not going to match, I would've much rather like it if the cakes were in different shapes like a cute cartoonish animal, or smiley face, or a daisy. Some shape that I wouldn't associate with flavor - I also wasn't a huge fan of the flavor combos. I feel like they were really trying to go out there but often times the fruit flavors used didn't really match up with the tea or nut flavors. The flavors were not balanced at all, often just very muddled with one flavor either being too strong or not strong enough, or interfering with a fruits flavor. Some of the cakes were floral tasting from tea or almost slightly savory. The cakes are not sweet at all. Maybe I was just unlucky and tried the worst flavors. Again the lemon shaped one was the best because passionfruit flavor was sharp enough to cut through the other flavors - Parking is street and can be hit or miss - Expensive - I ordered a drink and I don't see it on the menu, or I just can't remember it. That's how different it was. I do remember thinking it was so sweet Would I go again? Absolutely not read more

Tu Cha - We had to try every flavor - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Trenched through traffic with my fam to try this place out! It is nestled between large buildings on a busy street with enough parking (you may have to cross a street after finding a spot). What I loved: Dubai dream cake! Hands down worth the drive, it's the best dessert option they have. Creamy balanced flavors, well layered, and with a texture that is irresistibly fun to eat. I love the heart container. We bought almost all of every piece dessert except for two along with the ice cream bites. Needless to say, we were not impressed. Each pastry had the same lingering aftertaste which was odd, the fresh strawberry topping was old, the gelatin like texture did not complement the watery centers, and the outside chocolate shell had no flavor. Of course, if you like these details of texture, you may dig it! Just definitely not for me. The ice cream bites resemble a frozen yogurt like texture and although I appreciate the all natural fruit product, the flavors didn't quite come through. The space inside is small, clean, and cozy. We weren't really warmly welcomed but did receive a kind goodbye after we picked up our order and had tipped generously. The Togo boxes could use improvement as they were so flimsy and hard to store in the fridge. The carry out bag is SO nice though. We're happy to have supported the business but will not drive out there again. Try your luck, it is fun to explore! read more

My daughters have been wanting to come here for the viral fruit pastries. We finally made it - it was full but not crowded midday on a Saturday. Ordering was easy on their screens. The display was beautiful. We thought the the fruit pastries were good, but a few bites of each were more than enough. It was more fun for the experience. I tried the peach and didn't taste peach fruit flavor, but I thought the mild tea flavor was surprisingly nice. I also tried the mango and everyone agreed that it was disappointing, with an artificially sweet flavor. read more

I was excited to try the desserts here and didn't expect it to by super pricey. I got 3 cakes to try: mango, lemon, and strawberry, and the fruit ice cream. The presentation of the cakes do look nice however there was nothing special about the taste. It somewhat just tasted like mousse cake and it was underwhelming. The ice cream tasted a bit like plastic or wax. I would not get desserts from here due to the price and taste of the desserts. I would rather go elsewhere for cake/ice cream. read more

Tu Cha - cakes - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're in Los Angeles, make a stop at Tucha. We tried their viral peach and mango cake, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. These trompe-l'œil pastries--French desserts designed to "deceive the eye" by looking like real fruit--are as impressive as they are delicious. Light, fresh, and perfectly balanced, with just the right touch of sweetness. We also had their matcha drink, which was just as good. A bit pricey, but worth the indulgence. read more

We've been wanting to try this place because of how beautiful the cakes look. We stopped by here to try it. We got the mango and the raspberry one. Both were underwhelming. Taste was too creamy with no prominent flavor. The texture melted almost as soon as you get into it. Although very pretty, didn't love it and would not come back. read more

I am surprised at how this place has only a 3.5 star rating on yelp. I am not usually a desserts person but I was targeted by Instagram and by how crunchy the cakes were The crunch was real. Went out and bought the 1. Mama Mango- brought it to a party I had last night. It was good. Got many compliments. Difficult to cut through for sharing but 4/5 rating 2. Berry my absolute favorite. Crunch was on point. Not too sweet. Nailed the blueberry flavor 3. Apple -3/5 4. Berry cubed - boyfriend said "definitely tastes like berries" 5. Lychee - loved the strong oolong flavor that helped combat the sweet of the dessert. 6. Bing Chillin - so good. Banana was surprisingly my favorite. I don't usually like banana anything but this one was different l. Must be the whipping cream or something. All in all I understand it's pricy but you get what you pay for. It was delicious and not too sweet. Hard to nail the flavors while making sure the sweetness is not overwhelming so I think Tucha did a great job. read more

Had to come to the OG of these unique desserts, and, honestly, disappointed as desserts are overpriced and small, with the cheapest being $13, I purchased 3 and paid $49!?!?! I found similar desserts at Altadena Bakery, which are bigger at a cost of $10 each. In comparing these desserts, the Tu Cha desserts, have a liquid center and is messy with a custard texture, whereas, the desserts at Altadena do not have a liquid center but fruit center with a moose texture, which I like so much more! But, you try and decide which one you like more!!! read more

I give Tu Cha a 2.4/5. I saw this place randomly on google maps as a nearby cafe and was excited to try the cakes as they looked super cute. Unfortunately, I was a disappointed by the taste of the desserts. Parking was a little difficult as the location is under a residential complex. They have a nearby lot for free parking but the sign was so small, it was hard to notice until we were even at the store and saw the placard. We ended up parallel parking on the perpendicular street and walking to it. The store was quite busy for an afternoon and they had a good amount of seating spaces. We sat at one of them and requested the staff to clean the sticky table which happened quickly, which was nice. The interior was quite nice and modern. The digitial pos system made ordering easy. We ordered a variety of desserts and two drinks that amounted to around $60-70. It was pretty pricey and we understood the effort put into each dessert, but I wish the taste of the items also reflected the price point. The Bing chilling ice cream bites were pretty disappointing for $23. I had a slight expectation of them tasting natural and subtle but some of the ice creams were artifical tasting. The banana and peach especially tasted artifical and I did not like them. My tablemates thought the peach was okay. The strawberry one was my favorite but the others were alright or too artifical tasting. The smaller ones had too much chocolate to ice cream ratio (2:1). The devil fruit and the my man go cakes were alright. We knew there was a chocolate shell but everything overall was just way too much chocolate. Despite the gateau name, I wish there was actually cake in the dessert and not just all mousse and gelatin. There was just too much mousse and tart filling inside so the dessert tasted a little too gelatinous with the chocolate shell. Having some cake inside would've balanced things nicely so we thought the desserts were just alright. For ~$14 each dessert, I was left craving something better. The drinks were also alright. My friend thought the tiramisu latte was okay but my sister did not like the osmanthus oolong milk tea and thought it tasted watery. She expected it to taste more milky or tea-like for $7 a drink. Overall, Tu Cha was a little disappointing and we expected a little more because of the price. The desserts were really cute and Instagram worthy but tasted just okay. I know a lot of effort was put into these desserts and wish they tasted nicer but it just wasn't to our tastes. read more

I, like so many others, fell victim to the many many many videos all over social media--person after person sitting in their car with a box full of deliciousness, crunching their way through these beautifully artisanal treats. So when I found myself in LA with my daughter, it was a no-brainer. We were coming here. And it absolutely lived up to the hype. We must've timed it perfectly--it was nearly empty when we arrived, and by the time we left, there was a line out the door. We ordered...honestly, I think one of everything. No regrets. Our absolute favorite was the mango, but truly, there wasn't a single miss in the bunch. Parking was easy, the space (including the bathroom) was spotless, and I loved how simple it was to order using the iPad setup. 100% worth the time, the money, and yes--the social media spiral that brought us here. read more

I got the following: double strawberry matcha, mango pastry, bing ice cream bites. The ice cream was fruit shaped and fruit flavored and the pastry too. They also had free parking down the street and it's labeled Tu Cha free parking which is so nice of them. Service was great.

Tu Cha - Double Strawberry Matcha - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came yesterday (Sunday) at 8:30pm & no line I enjoyed the matcha dubai heart cake ($22) & the citron dessert ($14), total $43 including tip Haven't tried the citron yet but really enjoyed the matcha Dubai!! All items are quite pricy but I enjoyed it. My 3 star rating is for the overall experience due to the parking. They provided an address for a parking down the street since there was no street parking. WARNING: do not parking in the parking lot with a black gate. The correct parking should have dirt & it next to the black gate. The car was stuck inside the gated parking lot since a key is needed to go inside & outside. It's also hard to see since we went at night. I told my friend today about my experience & the same thing happened to her. read more

The hype for this fruit is just that. They look so delicious and yes if you really like semi sweet moose with sweet chocolate this is A+. For me I wouldn't get these again as it just is too sweet and after a while your over it. Customer service is amazing, their presentation is amazing and if you've never tried it before definitely worth a splurge. Just make sure you have enough people to share it with because it will get over whelming even with three of us. read more

Internet virtual for sweet tooth, everyone said it 9/10. Meh it's 3/10. Nothing super impressive as I saw on internet. Juicy apple or crisps apple one was terrible. It's tastes really cheap for a $14(?) per each. Cake in the apple one tastes old. Cinnamon powder was old and cheap. The place was well cleaned and the service was OK. Does this worth it?

This was my first time trying Tu Cha, and I went in thinking it might just be the hype--but I was happily proven wrong. We came just for dessert only and tried the mango, chocolate, and the little bites. Everything was super flavorful and creamy, with a great texture when you bite into the white chocolate shell. I was especially surprised by the little bites--the fruit flavors like banana, peach, and strawberry actually tasted like real fruit. And if you're a chocolate lover, the chocolate one is a must. The place is a bit pricey, but it's a fun treat-yourself experience. The staff was really nice and welcoming, the space was very clean, and the chef even came out personally to answer our questions, which was such a nice touch. Overall, I think Tu Cha is definitely worth the hype! read more

Finally got to try this viral fruit mousse cake!! We went on a Saturday around 2PM and it wasn't crowded at all! There was no line so we were able to order right away and nothing was sold out yet (thank god!) i guess the hype died down a bit but it was so good i'm so hyped to bring others to go and try it with me again. We got the cakes fast since they're ready made and had to stand around abit to wait for seating. (Despite there being no line for ordering, there were people eating the fruits and i feel there could be more seating.) We ordered the mango, berry, and citron. The mango was a classic! It tasted the most balanced between sweet and tart for me. The citron was sour but might have been even sweeter than the mango because of the goey stuff inside! Finally the berry was the most tart and had a different flavor theme than the other two so eating it all together was abit funny but I still loved it! I would order them all again though! It's abit pricey though so I think this is more of a special treat! PS also ordered their tiramisu matcha latte which was just okay~ they did say this was their newest drink though so maybe they're still perfecting it! read more

Tu Cha - Mango, citron, berry cube - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We attended had dinner in Koreatown and wanted to have dessert. Found Tu Cha on Yelp & remembered I had seen their desserts on Instagram We ordered Mango, Peach, & Berry cakes and the ice cream Bitty Bites. The cakes had a shell that was filled with a creamy gelatin. In the center of each, there was a candy center and jelly complimenting the flavors. Personally, the mango was my favorite The Bitty bites were great for sharing & the flavors of each fruit came through. Staff was helpful and gave recommendations. Fun treat for a Saturday night read more

I've been seeing so many reels for TuCha's beautiful fruit desserts that I had to get some to try. I ordered these for delivery so can't really speak to service or ambiance because I didn't want to drive all the way there. The desserts are very consistent from everything I've seen, both in terms of appearance and flavor. Other reviews have mentioned the amount of cream and while I feel like TuCha's have less than other bakeries' fruit pastries, it's still quite a bit of cream! The fruit flavor inside the mango and peach were so light, almost flavorless even for me (I don't like super sweet stuff). The best was the strawberry and pistachio because of the tartness of the strawberry jam. Didn't get a leaf with my Citron, did love the taste of the lemony "cheesecake" (no yuzu or cheesecake flavor) and the refreshing passionfruit filling though. I'd get these two again. The Dubai chocolate cake was okay. I wish there was more cake and pistachio kunafa and less mousse (about 50% of the cake) and the hard chocolate shell on top really didn't add much. Dubai cookie melt doesn't come warm but the cookie is slightly crunchy round the edges and super chewy, the perfect cookie for me. Also wish there was more pistachio kunafa cause I was trying hard to find some. Overall, they're novel and fun to eat but very messy and not all of the pastries are hits (for me). Also very pricey at $15+ per, the cake was like $22 or so, and the Dubai melt $28. I amended the rating cause I got the strawberry again, and along with the Dubai cookie, it's really grown on me and I think about it a lot lmao. read more

Finally had the time to visit Tu Cha in La. I always see this on Instagram. First of all let me say this place is really pricey. If you come here, I would just go for the desserts. I ordered a tiramisu latte and it was just OK and not worth the price to me. The signature Deserts were really pretty and I did like the taste. My girlfriend ordered a special cookie Dubai Melt in a tin and it was $28 super expensive definitely not worth it. The description on the menu says it comes with ice cream and then the counter person said that you actually have to spend extra money which is nonsense. Inside it's average size and was quiet. There were a couple of people on their phones. Good desserts overall but not worth the price. read more

Super fun to try! Plenty of street parking and they have a few tables inside for guests to sit down and enjoy. Service is quick, so you don't need to pay for that much time on your meter. Packaging is very friendly, so we were able to enjoy this in the car. Just Peachy was my favorite and the flavor combination works so well together. The center is an Earl Grey Tea filling with some fresh peach. Not too sweet, but packed with flavor. My Man Go and Berry3 were also good, simple, and on the sweeter end. I can see these being a favorite for kids and anyone with a sweet tooth. Overall, everything was good and worth trying at least once. They are visually very stunning and take quite a bit of time and effort to make, so we can see why it's priced higher. I wouldn't drive into the city for this again, unless it's for a celebration or special event. read more

I've seen a few videos of these viral desserts and my friends and I decided to check it out! We were worried they would have a line or run out but it seems like the hype has died down. Love that they have a free parking lot (albeit it looks a little sketchy) that is a short walk from the store. Due to limited seating in the store you may have to take your desserts back to your car. I'd also consume as soon as possible. We tried the lemon, raspberry/strawberry and the mango at around $14.50 each. I personally liked the lemon the most but would not come back again because I don't think it's worth the price or the drive. We also tried their matcha tiramisu which didn't really taste like tiramisu and actually tasted like full on grass. This usually means its either a lower quality matcha, the powder is old, or the water was too hot and burned the matcha. Either way, skip on the matcha and maybe come by to try the desserts once for the novelty. read more

Got the Sticky Mango Pudding drink for $10.89. It was good, but not "almost eleven dollars" good. I wanted to try the viral pastries too, but they were $14 and way smaller than I expected.

Tried their Bing Chilling Bites because of all the trending reels these days, so I was curious. It is overhyped and it wasn't that great. The chocolate layer is so thick and too sweet.

Seen this place go viral non stop for the desserts, but I didn't get the chance to try the actual cakes themselves yet. They always seem to sell out super quick so my alternative was trying the ice cream bites. It's definitely pricey but quick to get via kiosk.

Definitely not a place to hangout and eat, better to take to go. read more

Boba and cake shop that went viral in LA. I happened to be nearby for dinner and realized I was close and my friend and I immediately dropped by. It was great that I coincidentally parked in their parking lot located about a block or so away. At first we were planning to get one cake each but realized it was super pricey. I ended up getting a drink and sharing the cake. The cake was good! Glad I was able to try it: not sure if it was worth $18 though... Their coffee was good but nothing particularly special. read more

Honestly, this place felt really overhyped. The desserts look trendy online, but the experience didn't match the hype, especially for the price. We ordered the mango cube and berry cube, and both of them were still frozen when they came out. Instead of being soft and creamy, they were hard and icy, which made them unpleasant to eat. For how expensive these desserts are, I expected much better quality. The concept and presentation are cute, but the execution just wasn't there. Overall it felt overpriced and overhyped for what you actually get. read more

Finally tried Tu Cha this past weekend while they were doing a collab with The Crème Shop! I was initially worried they would run out by 5pm on Friday, so I called beforehand and confirmed that they had stock. Parking is a little tough in the area - I found metered street parking but it was a bit far. They do have a free parking lot but I must have missed it. You can order at the kiosks or with the staff. There is a good amount of seating as well as free wifi for those studying there. The staff member who helped me was nice. I ordered the peach and citron and got 2 full sized serums. I got my items to-go and was in and out of the store in 5 minutes. The pastries are cute but definitely pricey and small - 2 cakes costed close to $30. I didn't love the taste of the peach one, which had a white chocolate shell, mousse, and peach jam. The taste didn't feel super cohesive, and I wasn't sure what I was eating. The citron was much better but unfortunately it didn't last the drive home and cracked, so all the filling dripped out. The sauce tasted like passion fruit but wasn't too tart and not too sweet. Overall, desserts are aesthetic but given the price and size, I think it's hard to justify a return visit. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the cute sanrio collab items. read more

Stop by after eating sushi because my munchkin wanted to try this viral dessert . My favorite was the citron and my daughter's was the devil fruit . We used a self service kiosk to order and did not wait too long for our order . The place is not too spacious and there was limited seating , so we decided to take it to go . The pastries were delicious, though I did feel they were a bit pricey for their size. Still, the overall experience was fantastic. read more

This seems to be popular trend. When you walk in you are greeted with a beautiful display case, aesthetically pleasing. All the seats were taken but you walk right up and put your order in using the kiosk. I will say these desserts are way more hyped up than what they really are. Yes they are about $14 each but if you try it one time at least you say you tried it. Please don't get these desserts thinking that they are some type of a cake pastry. This is not a cake Once you get past the hard shell it's more of a mousse consistency. And a lot of the flavors don't go well together. I ended up getting the peach and the strawberry. The strawberry had pistachio in it. And the peach had another flavor inside that I could not really put my finger on. I could be the only one, but these aren't worth the hype. read more

Dessert wise I've had some hits and misses here. Starting with the hits: the lemon. It has a cheesecake component and it's not overpowering which I love. I would happily get this any day of the week. Misses: pumpkin - I don't have anything nice to say about this one and I normally LOVE all things pumpkin and fall flavored. The peach was alright for me. I really enjoyed the earl grey cream component, it was absolutely scrumptious. I however didn't love the frozen peach part, it was so watery. The coconut iced latte is incredible though just slightly too sweet for me. It's great with boba as well. read more

My new fave is now the "oh my gourd" !! I absolutely loved it. When I bit into it, it was perfection. From the shell to the mousse. Everything. The mango has become my least fave, the inside is runny and too tangy for my liking. I crave their desserts often, & will keep coming back!!! Also, customer service is always great! read more

I ordered the infamous mango dessert and boy was I disappointed. I don't know if I just got a bad batch but I love mangoes. They're very delicious and they're naturally sweet. I felt like it had a bitter filling in the middle. But let me tell you that little tree was the bomb. It was so good. It was complex. It had a very nutty hazelnut as well as a creamy kind of toffee flavor. The ice cream I feel was OK to me. I feel like they had the size correct with the little blackberry one it is bite-sized when you try to eat the banana or the strawberry sometimes they're too big and it's kind of falling all over the place. I was disappointed that I couldn't get more desserts. The parking is horrendous so good luck with that but like I say, give it a try and then you decide ....sidenote be prepared to pay a pretty penny, the desserts are definitely not cheap. read more
