This place is popular with the locals. Always bustling. I travel from Mount Washington. It's always worth it. My toppings are red bean, condensed milk, riceballs, fresh strawberries, lychee jelly and almond jelly. PERFECTION. I get the medium size and share it with my man. It's huge, but I feel like I would be happier not sharing. SO SATISFYING.

Even though it was busy when we arrived, the line moved quickly and the staff kept everything running smoothly. The moment we walked in, the smell of fresh waffles and sweet ice cream filled the whole shop and instantly made us excited to order. Since we had all just eaten dinner, we figured we'd play it safe and order the small sizes... big mistake! Their "small" portions are HUGE and definitely big enough to share. We were honestly surprised when our desserts came out. Everything looked amazing and tasted even better -- fresh, warm, sweet, and perfectly satisfying without being overly heavy. The service was fast, the desserts were delicious, and the overall atmosphere made it such a fun family stop. We'll absolutely be coming back again, and next time we know to share!

I've officially found my new favorite dessert spot! This place is small, cute, and gives off the…read morecoziest vibes. I love how clean and chic the interior looks, and there's plenty of seating both along the sides and in the front. Everything here is coconut-based, which I love. I ordered the strawberry coconut jelly, and it was absolutely delicious, rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The strawberries tasted super fresh, and the texture was just chef's kiss. I loved it so much that I honestly wish they'd turn it into a drink because I could easily slurp it down in minutes. It's so yummy and refreshing. I honestly love this place more than Melo Melo. Highly recommend checking it out!

My cousin recommended this dessert spot and it was a fun find. They have multiple locations, though…read morethis one was on the smaller side. Desserts are mainly coconut-based. We tried the blueberry coconut jelly and the double coconut jelly, and the double coconut was definitely the standout--sooo smooth and flavorful. Most jellies are around $10 since they come in a reusable glass jar. You can keep the jar, and I believe collecting 10 gets you a free jelly, which is a nice bonus. Overall, a unique dessert spot and worth a visit if you like coconut.

It's surprising how busy this place is especially for women/girls (maybe souffle is more popular…read moreamong girls?) The only guys you see mostly liley are those who come as part of a family. However I personally think souffle is a glorified version of pancake. It's slightly thicker and more fluffy and if you like pancakes there is no reason why you wouldn't like this (other than the price?). The location is in a strip mall next to the bigger 99 Ranch plaza and parking can be difficult to find especially top side but there is a underground parking lot next door. It can still get busy so you may have to park in that plaza and walk over on busy weekends. Just note this place is busy even in the weekday evenings. There are very few tables so if you are coming as a date/family, you may not find a table. The tables are also small so I wouldn't recommend a large group of more than 4. You order via a kiosk and for drinks they will call your order number. For souffle if you dine in, you can take a number stand and place on your table just like some McDonald's. Souffle is not bad and not too sweet especially with the original flavor.

Been to Motto multiple times and the items here from drinks to food items have all been pretty…read moresolid! Quality to aesthetics get high marks but sometimes taste is lacking. Souffle pancakes in different occasions always look so pretty, are the best everyone's ever had, some some flavor profiles don't work. Maybe that's why the menu sometimes changes. For example the yuzu grape was completely bland because the yuzu drizzle on top was a thin line i couldn't taste at all. At least put a spread between each layer or pour a lot on top like the others (eg berry or mango). The mint leaves was the most potent flavor in this dish. Over the grapes, blueberries, matcha powder, yuzu. Got the mango triple layer drink this time and if you drink it carefully, you can appreciate the contrast from the mango puree, the milk, the creamy salted matcha. If you just mix it up completely you won't get that affect. One thing that bothers me is because the menu changes I seem to always be unable to get something I'm thinking of from the previous visit. I recall last time I had some mochi and rice ball I added to a drink that was so damn good and I couldn't add it this time. Though I recall that drink being $11.50 from the add ons. The souffle pancake was $21... so place is $$ but again the quality is there. Service wise, never interacted with staff really. Kiosk to order. Drinks just sit at counter when done. Didn't call numbers. Oh they did bring the pancake, no words spoken.

Amazing taiyaki spot!…read more There's not too many in the SGV and they offer them at such an affordable price with tons of filling options. We also got a plain milk soft serve and it was probably one of the creamiest milks soft serve we've ever had. The self serve toppings bar is also a nice touch. The taiyaki came out pretty quick as well and they are located right next to golden deli, perfect to spot to grab some dessert after a warm bowl of pho.

This is in the same tiny plaza as Golden Deli and Bopomofo, so parking can be tough at peak dinner time. The good: the taiyaki texture was nice and crunchy. The ice cream was smooth and not icy. The price is good for amount you get. The bad: the store was extremely cramped and hot. It's a very tiny shop so easily felt packed inside. I was annoyed when they called my order but I was struggling to get through the shop to get my order. By that time the employee had walked away. I was annoyed because when she came back she completely ignored me and handed someone else their order and walked away. I don't understand why they keep the completed orders way behind the counter if they don't even verify the correct person is picking up... after being skipped over twice I finally cut in and interrupted the other employee for my order and she was like oh... sorry it's melted. Like yeah it's been sitting there and I didn't want to go into the employee area to get it! That was really irritating. The ube flavor was bland. It tasted like milk, I did not get any ube flavor. The custard in the taiyaki was just okay. The worst part was that the taiyaki had a really off putting taste on the outside... almost like the aftertaste of margarine or something, it bothered me. Overall the flavor and service was lacking and the experience inside was not good. I was not impressed by any aspect and would not recommend this place unless you were already dining in this plaza and wanted to just walk over.
