If you have a sweet tooth and find yourself in Berkeley, U Dessert Story is an absolute must-visit…read more From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and perfect for catching up with friends or ending the night with something special. The desserts are not only beautifully presented but incredibly delicious. Every bite tastes fresh, creative, and thoughtfully made. The Mango Sticky Rice Bingsoo was a standout--light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing, and the variety on the menu means there's something for everyone. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better with their great service. U Dessert Story turns dessert into an experience. If you're looking for a place that delivers on taste, presentation, and atmosphere, this spot deserves five stars. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

We used to visit their other location in the city, but we've been coming to this location more…read moreoften lately because we feel more comfortable in this area. Overall, it's been a good experience every time. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day. Most of the parking is on the street, so you'll need to keep an eye out for pedestrians and bicyclists while looking for a spot. That's probably the biggest inconvenience of visiting this place. There is usually a 15 to 20-minute wait whenever we come for dessert, but we've always been seated within the quoted wait time, which we appreciate. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so the dining area can feel crowded. Tables are very close together, and you're practically sitting back-to-back with other guests. Because of this, the noise level can get pretty high, and it's easy to overhear conversations from nearby tables. The desserts are the highlight here. The BingSu is excellent, and the lava cake is one of our favorites. The menu is accessed through a QR code, making ordering simple and convenient. Food portions are decent, although prices are definitely on the premium side. Service is efficient, and the food and desserts usually arrive pretty quickly. We used to go to their city location regularly, but over the years we've found ourselves visiting this location more often because the area feels more comfortable and convenient for us. That has made this our go-to spot whenever we're craving dessert. Overall, this is a great place for dessert. The quality of the desserts keeps us coming back, but the difficult parking situation and cramped seating prevent it from being a full 5-star experience. Would definitely return for the BingSu and lava cake.

I will say the cake is a little bit on the sweeter side, but it's not overly sweet and I do like the chocolate Napoleon. It's very chocolatey and flavor, but also not overly sweet and have a hazelnut taste to it. It also has a little bit of crunchiness that I like. I think it's like a spot to get chocolate cake and they even have cute cookies for kids which I would think it's a perfect classroom gift.

Although, food was great, we did not have a pleasant experience with their service. We waited almost 30 minutes for the calamari. We asked and she replied rudely. A few minutes later, she threw a tantrum walking out the work station and basically threw the food on the table. No words exchanged at all and went back to the work area. Not sure if she was having a bad day but that should not be a reason to treat customers like this.

I was relieved to discover that the cake was not only made with natural ingredients, but was delicious, fluffy, and light, with just a faint sweetness. It's a good option if you want a healthier version of the dense, sweet, and rich typical cheesecake. It was the perfect dessert for the elderly birthday girl and we were all happy with it!

The employee may have been new or not uniformly trained, but the scoops were noticeably smaller than what is typically served. Unfortunately, this has happened before. Sometimes I receive full scoops, while other times the portions are much smaller depending on who is serving. Consistency is important, and customers should receive the same product regardless of which employee is working. Please provide better training to ensure portion sizes are consistent. Based on this experience, I won't be returning when this employee is working and will likely stay away for a while.

The chef was outside helping out and he was super nice very friendly. He was very enthusiastic about his dessert and was introducing it to us. We went when the store is almost closing, so there wasn't that many selection left, but we got the vanilla custard and that was so good full of the vanilla flavor. It's not overly sweet and feel very light. It was so good that I even got another one to take home with me. They also have a good selection of Macaron and they are not overly sweet. They are very light and the seasoning was really well. The cake was also really good. I got one of the chocolate walnut cake and that one was very rich with coffee flavor. I love it. I will definitely come back again.

I ordered: * black sesame mochi muffin - nice chew, great sesame flavor, and not too sweet * churro mochi muffin - covered in cinnamon sugar, so good. Great texture as well. * banana bread pudding - looks so ooey and gooey! I took an edge piece because I like the chewy crispy texture. Love to return when I'm back in the area.

Serving a wide range of carnival and fair foods, you'll definitely satisfy your sweet tooth cravings year-round. The husband and I ordered the Churro Parfait, Mini Funnel Cake, and Hand-Dipped Corndog. The Churro Parfait was delish with bite size churros mixed with their house-made cream, caramel, and fresh strawberries. The Mini Funnel Cake was yummy, as well. Loved how crispy yet chewy it was. Both the parfait and funnel cake were sweet, so the corndog and nachos helped to balance it out. All in all, staff and service was good. Portion sizes were shareable with my husband. A little pricey, but worth trying out if you're a fan of carnival food.

They don't skimp on the quality and intensity of flavor. This last visit I also asked if they would give me a single bite of vanilla ice cream on a disposable spoon for my dog, and they kindly obliged. Wonderful local spot that always brings smiles :)

The young worker was so patient & helpful with recommendations that it made the whole experience that more enjoyable. Out of the 2 samples I tried, I ended with the Meyer Lemon.

Without sampling the Meyer Lemon bc the worker recommended this, I just chose it. The Meyer Lemon was refreshing & had a creamy texture. It was perfect with the fresh waffle cone. I'm ready to try more flavors the next time I stop by.
