Saw some of the reviews and didn't have too high of expectations but their desserts was one of the better ones I had in a while, especially their shaved ice! Got the green tea and red bean shaved ice and for the price, the size and the quality toppings, this is essentially way better than Grace Street or other shaved ice places I tried. Excited to come back and try more of their menu
I got a customized Tong Sui, and it was very refreshing. The mango puree wasn't overly sweet, and their ice cream scoop sizes are not skimpy. I'd probably come back for their Tong Sui and not much else, although they do have a lot of dessert options. The customized waffle wasn't bad (a lot better in value than Kulu), but I think I just am never impressed with bubble waffles. Very cute dessert shop. Friendly staff. Definitely will return!
Got two shaved ice. Came here a few years ago and thought it wasn't that bad. A lot of things have changed and honestly not bad. The two shave ice came with a giant island of ice which was a downside of this place but overall, everything wasn't that bad. The toppings were pretty standard and the service was pretty nice. Overall, not that bad if you're in the area.
Quality Asian-inspired dessert shop for both dessert drinks and foods. I got the Honeydew and Sago (~$9), which was a tasty combo of a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, coconut cream, sago, honeydew balls, and some jellies- all high quality. It was not as much as it looks like though, as the plate is actually kind of shallow but they put it on top of a stand which makes it look twice as big. The place is inside a small shopping center pretty close to Main Street. There is a nice clean seating area with some trendy Chinese decor (pretty standard Chinese dessert shop style) and a decent amount of seating. It was actually not too busy on a Saturday night. The staff were average friendliness, and the service speed was fine. The prices were maybe a tad elevated but still reasonable. Overall, 520 Dessert is a solid dessert shop that I would recommend to you if you are in this main area of Flushing and are looking to sit down and enjoy a sweet treat.
Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was completely empty. It was a cute space and I enjoyed the decor/ambiance. We were seated quickly and serviced quite efficiently as well - our order was taken within a few minutes and our food was out fast as well. The size of our mango dessert and the price made it a fantastic deal. We didn't expect it to be as big as it was and we were pretty satisfied afterwards. There was a good mix of all the different toppings with more than enough ice cream and mango cream to go around as well. For two people, it was perfect to share! I would happily come back here anytime to try some of their other desserts! Thanks, 520!
This dessert spot is hard to find as it is tucked away in a building where I originally thought it was an entrance to another restaurant. Upon entering, the staff members sat us down for table service, so tipping is expected. My gf and I split an order of the Mango & Black Sticky Rice ($9.50). Got various different flavor profiles and textures, which makes it a solid choice. Kind of funny they used the lid of this cup and the other piece to give it height to make it seem like there's a large amount. Overall not a bad spot to choose for dessert on a hot summer day.
I've always wanted to try hot pot dessert, and I finally got the chance to at 520 Dessert. It was so good! You choose the base (we got the milk tea) and 8 toppings (we got boba, assortment of fresh fruit, jelly, and red bean). It was delicious. The portion was huge, and two people definitely couldn't finish it. I would recommend 4 people. The service at 520 Dessert was also great. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, I had a great experience at 520 Dessert. The food was delicious, and the service was great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dessert experience.
Cannot ask for a cuter dessert place to just chill and talk with friends :) I think they're one of the few places in open for long hours, so that's another plus since most people around their 20s are night owls I'm never disappointed with their presentation of their items and I've been here maybe 7 times since they opened
I visited here recently when I was trying to find a new dessert spot to try in or around Flushing. The location of this spot is inside a building you have to enter and then find. I ordered the Rainbow Mille Crepe Cake and the Honey Toast Box. The crepe cake was really pretty and came with a cut, fresh strawberry and strawberry ice cream. The toast box was also really cute. You may have to ask what comes with this one because they do not have a lot of details on the menu itself. I may have ordered the wrong things but both came with Fruity Pebbles. I did not like how sweet the toast box was (I know it is dessert though). I feel like the toast box was just glorified bread since the kiwi and other fruits tasted warm and, the bread itself was not good. Nonetheless, 520 Dessert is at a prime location in Flushing. I would recommend this place to others but would not recommend ordering the toast box. I, myself, will be coming back to try their other offerings since their desserts are well-priced.
After two years I finally made it to this place.. I was originally going to try the 9 set dessert but then the dessert hot pot caught my attention and I couldn't resist. I would have definitely gotten both but i just had Korean bbq before that So I ended up just getting the Dessert Hotpot (herbal jelly, lychee jelly, pudding, watermelon, mochi, black sticky rice, Oreo, marshmallow, coconut base) You can customize to any way that you like Would definitely come back to try the other items!
Note: You have to go inside the main building through the glass doors, and keep walking to find this place! We got seated right away (but the seat was next to the cashier and that was a bit iffy) and our order came out pretty fast. The melons were pretty stale and flavorless. There was not enough syrup, and most of it was legit just eating ice... so we had to ask for more syrup and melt down the melona ice cream to get more flavor and it finally started to taste better.. Okay experience, maybe some other desserts are more flavorful and recommended here!

This place is tucked away in the back of the building, it has a good atmosphere with a wide selection of desserts. Price wise it was average with friendly staff. Overall I would come back to try something different next time read more
Im usually not a big dessert person except when it comes to fruits so I was very excited to find this place! The restaurant itself is well designed and is a cozy area to spend time with friends. Their menu has a good amount of fruit dessert options which all look amazing. I had to try out the Honeyduo which looked too appetizing to pass up. Definitely have to say that this is not a dish for one and they are very generous with their portions. The Honeyduo basically comes in half a Honeydew which is filled with Honeydew flavored shaved ice, scooped balls of Honeydew as well as their own Honeydew popcicle. I also tried some of my friends Mango pudding dish which was definitely worth it as well. Overall, i would say this is going to be one of my new favorite dessert places. Great atmosphere, friendly hosts and plenty of amazing desserts to try. Will definitely need to return here to try more of their many options! read more
I always enjoy coming here! The lighting and decorations are so artsy! It gives a contemporary feeling and is perfect for taking pictures. The menu is adorable and consists of little dishes such as cakes, toast with ice cream, shaved ice, purees with sago, and other delectable desserts! The only downside is the pricing. The shaved ice is around $15. The signature mango purée sago with mochi is unbelievably tasty! The waffle with ice cream is a good deal; you can customize everything from the waffle flavor to the sauce on top. Lovely dessert spot! read more

I cried while eating here. The place seems closed upon arriving. Doors locked and nobody was in sight. Eventually a ghost showed up and handed us a menu. Inside smelled and outdoor seating was filthy. You'll probably get a side of rodent with your food. Got the mango pomelo and looked like baby food in a paper bowl. The fruits are obviously from an unknown source and really warm. Might have to get tested for Covid after this. Mikey chen lied to me about this place read more

I have a huge sweet tooth and needed something yummy after dinner. My hubby and I were in flushing and decided to try something new. I have tried HK desserts before and found it to be refreshing and not overly sweet. This cute little place might be hard to find since it's surrounded by other restaurants and tucked away inside a building. Just look for the sign or just ask. Cute decor but only negative is if you are a party of 2, you can't sit at a table that's for 4. You will have to wait till one opens up and stare at the empty party of 4 tables . I guess I kind of get it since it's a small establishment? I don't know. It's hard to order something from the menu when all the pics on yelp look amazing. We went with the most popular one which was the honeydew shaved ice. We almost ordered another item but the shaved ice was plenty and then some. The honeydew dessert comes in an actual 1/2 melon that they scooped out into little balls and served over shaved ice and condensed milk drizzled over it w/ a melon bar which was outstanding. I'm Eating fruit so it's healthy right?!! I also ordered a plain egg waffle which was crunchy and airy at the same time. So yummy. I saw people ordering the sundae egg waffle and eating it like a taco!!! Interesting. I feel like it might hurt my teeth biting into the ice cream. Must come back and try it. Can't wait to return and order more yummy stuff :) read more

Coming in with many people already in the store, we waited to be seated. Told the host how many people were in our party. However there were customer disregarding the host and just seated themselves. When our host notified us our table was ready, we weren't greeted with water unlike other tables around us. Servers seemed upset regarding how long we took deciding what to get. Making service average. The menu has several sections or many pages of choices to choose from. Essentially the same menu, just different format. Definitely a lot of choices and variety to choose from. If not, plenty of options to create your own from. The dessert were exactly as describe and pictured in the menu. Dessert took roughly 15 minutes to come out. Shaved Ice Mango Tropical $12.95 is probably the best to get in the winter as Mango is not in season. The fruit was little tangy, but other than that, definitely would recommend. The Pu'er Tea with cheese milk foam $5.70 was not sweet enough for my personal taste. You can change sugar level however mine was set at regular. The tea itself is strong in flavor. Plenty of seatings and tables. There is WiFi for customers to use. Bathroom is located in the back right corner. read more

Two of my friends and I stopped by this cute hidden dessert place in Flushing after seeing the long lines at Prince Tea House nearby. We were seated within 5 minutes, not bad! Appreciate that the menu has pictures for all the desserts so we can have a good idea of what we are ordering. We decided on sharing a Tropical Island Shaved Ice together because we were full from dinner. As we were ordering, we were told that each person is a $6 minimum and the bingsu ($13) was only enough to cover two of us. WHAT? No, no, no, no, no... Don't think this is the norm... and definitely very discouraging for people who enjoy sharing desserts / cannot finish a whole dessert on their own. Dessert wise, the shaved ice texture is decent. A lot of fruits (watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, lychee, mango) and a scoop of ice cream on top. We ordered a tiramisu cake to meet the $6 per person minimum and I can't comment on it because we didn't even touch it! The bingsu was just enough for the three of us to share and we had to pack the tiramisu to go. But judging from the size of the tiramisu, it was not worth the $9. 3 stars is for the bingsu we had. Overall, high prices on the menu and this place is not for you if you're looking to share a dessert with friends. read more

Came here at 8:30pm on a Saturday, fully packed! Excellent service, dessert taste fresh and delicious. Unique dessert and the owner came out and greeted us. The dessert didn't come out as fast as they should BUT these desserts takes time to be crafted and when it comes out, it's totally worth the wait! Definitely worth trying if you are around the neighborhood. read more

This place is a cute spot, but not going to lie, a bit overpriced. I've dessert similar to this at other places with a much affordable price. The desserts here though are good but just not worth the price. Place was filled with teenage kids, probably just coming from school, so not the best environment I guess. Staff were present/unpresent. They would serve you in the beginning but towards the end they were basically no where to be found, though they were friendly. read more
Not too many place offer HK egg waffles in Flushing now. I m glad I found 520 Desserts. They have a customize egg waffles with ice cream let u choose regular /chocolate or green tea mini egg waffles and ice cream with 1 fruit 1 topping and sauce at $7.95. See my photo The waffle was fresh and good as I got chocolate favor. Green tea ice cream was good too. 7-8 usd seem to be the norm now in all the dessert places. The size is big enough for 2 to share. If I ever need HK style mini egg waffle this will be my go to place each mini was crunchy outside with soft filling The waffle is 4-4.5 stars The mango they seem to be canned. It did not taste as sweet as the mango I had when in Hk or Thailand. Please click helpful :) I also tried the Hk Tea and I rate that 3 stars as it was like warm and taste was Average The decor is clean and modern and fast service read more
I was very excited to order the egg waffles after seeing all of the pictures on Yelp because it looked very delicious and sweet. When you order the the egg waffles, you get to pick the flavor of the waffle, ice cream, fruits, toppings, and the drizzle. When I ordered it, it took forever for my order to come out and I didn't understand why because you're literally throwing stuff together and done. By the time my dessert came out, my table was almost done with their desserts.. the funny part is, most of the people at my table also ordered the same thing.. When I finally got my egg waffle, it was disappointing. There was no green tea flavor in the waffles bits. This is one of the desserts that only look good in pictures but lacks taste. My friend also ordered the durian with lychee dessert and she said that it lacked real durian taste. I was not a fan of this place and will probably not be coming back. read more
LOVE 520 Desserts! Why? The desserts are pretty darn good! I'm a fan of desserts that are not overly doused with sugar and 520 offerings are just that. The portions are also just right for and individual.. let's be real you won't want to share after tasting it. I highly recommend the mango purée with Mochi and ice cream my fave also faves amongst everyone I've gone with. Be warned they do serve some durian items on their menu so if someone at another table orders you will get a whiff of that gnarly smell. Ambiance it's cute and somewhat whimsical and the place can seat 30-40 I'd say. read more

Came here a long time ago for their ice cream and waffle, and then recently revisited with friends. Ice cream and waffles = classic, and can't go wrong, their traditional desserts (mango tangsui, is not too bad either. Food: 7/10 Place: 5/10 Price: 5/10 read more
After work, my coworker and I were craving some sweets so we came by 520 desserts. It's inside the building and straight down the main entrance. Parking is going to be pretty difficult since it is in flushing. Even later at night parking isn't exactly easy. At 9:30pm, the place is still pretty darn crowded and busy. We ordered the mango sago (something with a super long name) and the cold yin yang tong sui (black sesame and almond paste). They were both very delicious. The mango dessert was the right amount of sweet and was very pleasant. The yin yang tong sui was very clean tasting. I especially loved the almond paste. I really liked the fact that the desserts weren't too sweet because that just ruins the dessert. I will definitely be coming back with more people to try to honey dew patbingsoo. I saw a bunch of tables with the patbingsoo but it's rather large so you need to bring a larger group to finish it. Also, they accept credit card (thank goodness because we had no cash)! 520 dessert is going to be one of my new go-to places for dessert in flushing! read more

This is a dessert place. The interior is modern style and there was no wait on a Sunday night. I tried the rose tea it came in a black teapot and small cups with rose leaves. The green tea crepe cake was mediocre. The lava cake was good. read more
One more Chinese dessert place (thinking of fruits, starch, and ice cream concoctions) tucked away on the 2nd floor of one more small shopping (more eating than shopping) mall in Flushing. The deserts were authentic enough. However they have a weird customer turning off custom. They would rather let couples wait instead of sit at three of the five vacant round tables that can sit five or more. read more

Mango Chang Fen, customized waffles and tropical fruits with shaved ice... all I can say is amazing. Stopped by to grab some ice crean ended up getting three things and resisting getting more. The mango chang fen was peculiar. If you dont like rice wrapping dont get it. It's a little slimy and has an acquired but the mangos were wonderful. Fresh, soft and very sweet. What more can you ask for? The tropical fruits were stupendous! Watermelons, kiwi, honeydew, pineapple and dragonfruit were all fresh and bite sized. Tge fruits sat in a bed of flavored shaved ice and popped witg chia seeds. Its like having a party in your mouth. The waffle was the icing on the cake. You can customize it however you want with fruits ice cream and toppings. The waffle is not too sweet so it doesnt overpower the dessert. Overall this place was a lovely unexpected surprise. I will definitely be back for more and recommend it to others. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! *If you love your ice cream cold for beautiful photos, then this is the spot for you* Location: 520 is location inside of the restaurant plaza, the second flight of stairs. Decor: Roomy, clean, and great lighting for selfies! Service: Amazing! The workers, although not all are fluent in English, were more than HELPFUL and attention to our group of 6! Desserts: We ordered 1 Egg waffle w. green tea ice cream, oreo topping, and chocolate drizzle 1 Egg waffle w. vanilla ice cream, oreo topping and chocolate and condense milk drizzle 2 - orders of Chocolate Souffle (1 w. vanilla ice cream and 1 w. green tea ice cream) 1 order of regular vanilla ice cream. All desserts were seriously delicious! The waffle was warm,crispy, soft and fresh, and is the perfect addition w. the scoop of ice cream. I'm seriously drooling to have it again. The Chocolate souffle, was seriously better then the one we tried at Spot Dessert, that we had to order two!!! I will most definitely be coming back!!! read more
HK style dessert places are sprouting like weeds all over Flushing and 520 is a decent entry into the fray. Like many other similar businesses, 520 offers an array of drinks, teas and other HK style desserts to tempt the palate. What seems to be the crowd favorite is the egg waffle with ice cream, which is what we got to try. The waffle was good albeit a bit too crispy. Ice cream and toppings were about what you expect. Decor and staff here are nice so that's a plus. Seating is a bit limited but it's definitely a good (and cleaner) option on Prince Street. read more
This place is very very very cute. It is a hidden spot for yummy desserts. The quality is food picture worthy. I come here at least 1 time a yr when. I visit nyc. The place is clean. The service is fast. Only flaw is the place is small and always packed. read more

520 is your typical dessert shop in Flushing, but what makes them stand out is their egg waffle. Ohmygosh ... words cannot explain how amazing it is. The egg waffles are freshly made so it may take awhile. The egg waffles are crispy on the outside, but when you bite down IT IS SOFT!!!!! I'm basic and never try new toppings, but what I usually get with the egg waffle is: Matcha ice-cream, strawberries topped with condensed milk. This will hit the spot. Another good thing is that I've never waited for a table before and the service is always quick! read more

Their location is hidden inside this center, you will get confused walking there because you'll think you're walking into another store. Their decorations are really cute, definitely background worthy. The honeydew shaved ice was definitely worth it. I do recommend sharing it with someone else at least because it's huge. I love how the basil seed was crunchy/cold from being mixed with the shaved ice. The shaved ice was sweet and the honeydew was soft. It also comes with a melona ice cream bar, which is one of my favorite. The G2 which consist of grass jelly, mango stars, mango boba, mango pieces, mochi, and mango sorbert. The sago was really thick, which I did not like at all. It just made the whole dessert really difficult to consume because it was too much. It's one big grass jelly on the bottom, so definitely recommend chopping it up before eating. The plus is that they gave a lot of toppings which I like. read more
Third time here... desert is not bad my favorite is green tea waffle with vanilla and condensed milk with cereal topping. This time I came with my cousin and my sister and her 3 kids. Order 3 waffles and one tong shui. it took about 10 minutes for the tong shui ... another 15 minutes for two of the waffles and another 15 minutes after that for the third waffle. I was the first to order but last to receive my order. I feel like this place is understaffed as there was only one guy and one girl and one other guy that look like a manager. By the time my cousin was done with the tong shui, that's when the two waffle came. So I was left sitting there another 15 min for my order and the ice cream was dropping down the bottom like it was sitting there for a while. Dessert should always come out around the same time. There's no reason what we ordered could not have come out together. Instead, people are waiting around watching others eat. =( read more

Really enjoyed the desserts. We got the egg waffle and sweet rice balls with black sticky rice sago. They were both great. The egg waffle was just not topped up as well as I had expected. There's one small scoop of ice cream which doesn't last the entire dessert. By the end of it, there was more egg waffle than anything else. read more

This is the first time to be here. I order durian dessert with vanilla ice-cream. It's delicious. My friend order pineapple and papaya with green tea ice cream. The ice-cream has very strong green tea favor which we really like it. But they give us the tiny pieces of pineapple and papaya. It tastes like a frozen-fruit. Nice environment at all. read more

This place is such a rip off! I came with my friend and she ordered the matcha lemonade, and I ordered the green tea waffle with oreos, vanilla ice cream, blue berries and condense milk. They literally just broke one oreo into pieces, used a hand full of blue berries, and three drops of condense milk. This was $9.75. I was so confused at first, and then after taking a bite, I was so annoyed that they are charging $9.75 (before tax) for this nonsense. I wanted to speak to the manager about this, and he saw my face was annoyed, so he sent one of the waiters over. I used to worked in a service job before, so I know it wasn't the waiter's fault or anything, so I just asked her about it, and said okay. They also charge a credit card fee. I would definitely not recommend this place for desserts. There are so many more better places in Flushing. Do not waste your money here. I have attached a picture of what I got. I took a picture of it after taking a bite of the waffle. read more

New bubble tea recommended by friends, tried their full cup of mango and peach Oolong tea with cheese milk foam. Both drinks tasted very good. The mango drink is highly recommended, it actually made with real mango, tastes fresh. Will come back try other drinks again. read more
520 Desserts is quite hard to notice. It's located inside this building on the corner of 37th Ave and Prince St. with some other restaurants. The place is really cozy and cute. It you want to find a quite nook to study with sweet treats offered then this is the one. I guess not a lot of people know about 520 so they don't really have a lot of customers. My friend and I were there studying for finals for like 3 hours and they never had more than 3 tables. I tried the egglette with matcha ice cream and fruits. It was pretty okay but not as good as Kulu's. My friend had the mango pudding with ice cream, rice ball, jelly and stuff and she hella loved it. It looked fresh and appealing. An hour passed and we decided we need more food to be able to study lol. So my friend got a hot bowl of taro and grass jelly and I got hot tea. It was served in a stone tea set which was very authentic and kept the tea hot af. Their price is kind of the same as other desserts' in Flushing. The waitor was really helpful and polite. Overall it's a good place if you want to stay away from the crowd and really focus on your books or whatever. read more

Very cute! I want to go back soon to get some more desserts. They have many options - from tong yuan to egg waffles. My friend and I didn't know what to try first. Overall it's a cute spaces. It's really small. They accept credit card in flushing which I think is amazing in itself. The egg waffles were yummy. The toppings were really yummy. The only bad thing I would say about it is that the waffle was a bit dry and not it didn't really balance out with the toppings: ice cream, mochi, and drizzle. read more
