Came for durian pancake to go, and they packed me a mango one. When I paid at the cashier desk I asked to make sure that's the durian one and they said yes. Even for the mango pancake, there is too much cream compared with the amount of mango in it. read more

We ordered the beef brisket and the pork dumpling + spare ribs noodle soup bowls. Both broths and noodles were identical for the two orders. The spare ribs was more tasty than the beef brisket, as it was marinated beforehand. Likewise, pork dumplings (sui kau) were tasty too, and were sufficiently meaty. The beef brisket was average, slightly tender. But the broth was below average, as it really didn't match the beef taste. I would pass on this noodle if I were to re-visit. We came for the 'shaved ice'. The owner explained that the fruit shaved ice, already had the fruit inside the ice block (i.e. unlike the snow cones, this is NOT flavored syrup on ice shavings). This was different than anything we have tasted, so, it was a nice different experience. However, having grown up on Asian desserts, I will opt for the traditional desserts on the next visit. read more

Their egg tarts are awesomeeeee. I ordered the matcha Crepe cake, mango lava cake and mango pomelo sago yesterday! Omg, I can tell this is the best dessert I've tried in Seattle!! And I probably gonna try the shaved ice next time! read more

A nice hidden spot to have shaved ice on a hot day. The service is ok, stopped by with a group of friends and noticed how small of a space it is. Overall, I enjoyed their green tea egg waffles (loved it!) and mango shaved ice with lychee & fruits. read more

Cafe O'Dessert - Mango shaved ice w/lychee & fruits + Green tea egg waffle - Desserts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A low key joint with a wide selection of dessert. The sticky rice with mango and coconut milk was simply delicious. The taro and green tea shaved ice with lychee jely and mochi was decent; powder soft but tasted somewhat artificial, probably due to the lychee topping. read more

Love their variety for desserts! This is such a cute little shop and the workers are all so very friendly! They have not only baked goods but also bingsu, milkteas, and bubble waffle!! Their bubble waffle is quite nice but I recommend eating it right away or else it might get cooled and become chewy instead of the initial crunch. My friend had also tried the black rice milk tea and she loves it! It has coconut cream in it along with regular sticky rice at the bottom. read more

Coconut milk mango sago and egg waffles! I am pretty unfamiliar with Chinese desserts, and it was my first time having these two items. I got to say I really enjoyed them though. The egg waffles are made to order so my friends and I received them nice and hot. It was nice and crispy on the outside while being fluffy and light on the inside. My two friends and I had ordered two sets of the waffles, and we were definitely struggling to finish the second one. We each had our own coconut milk mango mago though. It's a cold, sweet soup with little tapioca-like balls. Prices i think were pretty reasonable and the items came out pretty quickly. Fun place to check out for desserts! read more

I really liked the variety of desserts and hot food offered by them on my first visit and decided to come back more often. I was REALLY FRUSTRATED two days in a row waiting the store to open. The first day I waited until 1:40pm and it was not open, so I left. The second day I came back planning for lunch at 12:30pm. Without luck they were still closed. Don't believe the hours they put on yelp. You never know when they will open. Today I talked to a lady who works there about the punctuality issue, but she didn't seem to care. read more

This is such a cute little place! I could easily spend lots of time doing homework here. It's further up The Ave, so it's not too crowded, and has just the right amount of white noise that's good for studying. The food looks pretty good, though I only went for dessert, so I can't say for sure. But oh man, the shaved ice. For $6.50, you get a mountain of the fluffy, creamy ice and two toppings. We got the milk with strawberries and mango--perfect for two people, though I could easily see myself demolishing it on my own if I were really so inclined. (It's just ice, right? It can't be THAT terrible for you...) read more

Got the original bubble waffle with ice cream, condensed milk, Mochi, and milk tea jelly. Really yummy! The perfect amount of sweetness! The only down part was it took awhile even tho there was no one ahead of us. Definitely would come back read more

Their shaved iced was good but I've had better. I liked that you can pick 2 or more shaved ice flavors and what toppings you want on it. Suck you can only pick 2 even if you order large and condensed milk is considered a topping. They should just add condensed milk on every shaved iced. read more

I am not an expert of shaved ice desserts but I can say this place can be a go-to place for shaved ice. I was expecting the ice to be very icy and chunk like the filipino halo-halo or Hawaiian version of shaved ice. But the ice here was very smooth and silky. The texture was also denser possibly from the condense milk they put. We ordered mango, cantaloupe and coconut. The dish came with real chunks of mango and cantaloupe but I think the coconut was more like a flavoring rather than an actual topping, and I barely tasted the coconut. Still the dessert was really good, refreshing and not overly sweet. The shaved ice was big enough to be shared, unless you are really that hungry then it can easily be devoured for its goodness. read more

3.5 stars. This place has snow ice! It's not your traditional snow-cone like ice; it melts instantly in your mouth. I wanted to order the ginger milk pudding but the waitress told me it was unavailable. I ordered the mango pudding instead which was OK, but had half-and-half on top of it, which I found gross. Isn't it usually condensed milk? Next time, I'll just ask for no half-and-half. My BF got sago with coconut milk and grass jelly, which he thoroughly enjoyed. read more

It's a great place for Cantonese style dessert, and seems like there aren't that many places like this in Seattle. I ordered coconut milk sago and durian crepe cake. Both were delicious. And you can customize the level of sweetness, which is great if your watching your sugar intake. read more

Cafe O'Dessert is so cute! The atmosphere is pretty homey, since it's family-owned. You can also add your own expo marker drawing to their whiteboard in the cafe. 5/5. Desserts: We ordered shaved ice with half matcha/half taro flavoring, grass jelly, mochi, lychee jelly, and fruit. The texture is extremely unique, which I really enjoyed--it's between the consistency of ice cream and shaved ice, but definitely on the creamy side. I think the kitchen may have forgotten to add our second flavoring, because all we could taste was the green tea (slightly on the bitter side, which I liked). 4/5. Service: My server was fairly young and inexperienced, but extremely accommodating when their kitchen didn't have something in stock. 4/5. I'll definitely stop by again in the future to try their food! read more

Although they've got these awesome Hongkong -style desserts here，you've gotta try their cakes! I'd return for their cakes everytime I pass by. read more

​Really, really okay. The desserts will definitely appeal to college students who will eat just about anything, especially those who are studying abroad and crave any flavors reminiscent of home. We ordered the grass jelly with sweet tofu and taro balls, along with a side of Vietnamese coffee. The dessert was served chilled, the grass jelly was a tad bitter, and the taro balls were sparse. Not sure if the ingredients are homemade, but this dessert is srsly not that hard to put together and I wish the final dish had more exciting textures and flavors. The coffee was fine, it came in a to-go cup even though we were eating in and was adorned with a super random Target coozy. I was surprised by Cafe O'Dessert's range of regular food options, although I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to try them. This particular spot on the Ave has gone through so many different store fronts, hopefully Cafe O'Dessert will be the one to step up their game and stay for good! read more

If you are looking for some traditional Cantonese style influence desert, then this is the place. They used to have the steam egg desert but now only offer the steam milk version; both are delicious and different in a yummy way. They also have a good list of hot sweet bean soups; it may sound weird but give them a try the next time you are there. read more

A solid place to go for a light dessert. I've had their shaved ice, egg (bubble) waffle and grass jelly dessert (guilinggao). I get the grass jelly with mochi and beans the most often because it's not too sweet. It's nice in the winter too because you can get it warm. Their shaved ice isn't the best I've had, but the location is very convenient for me. I'd recommend the mango shaved ice with fresh fruit. I've also tried their beef noodle soup, it was okay, but I'll be sticking to their desserts for now. read more

My fiance absolutely loves this place for their shaved snow. The flavor is IN the snow, and it's as finely grounded as ice can get. This place replaced one of the tea places on the Ave, and specializes in so many unique asian desserts. I've always wanted to try the other ones but the one my fiance always gets when we go there is the shaved snow. Their flavors are amazing, especially sesame and matcha, which is our favorite. You get two toppings and can add additional toppings for 50 cents more, I think, which is very reasonable. Their large feeds two people very comfortably, so I can imagine the small being just a one-person serving. Bonus: They also serve bubble tea and egg waffles in classic flavors too, including chocolate and matcha ! read more

A pity that the location of this restaurant isn't so good. The homeless people always hanging out in front of this area may repel people from coming in. But I'll just say this...it is definitely worth it! This place seems to be a family-run restaurant with home-style kind of cooking. The lady working is always kind and cheerful whenever we come in to eat. The portion size for the actual meals don't seem too big....but enough to fill a person up. I would DEFINITELY order the shaved ice. You won't regret it. A bit pricey for dessert....around $6.50 but split it between you and a friend and you should be good. I have yet to try the other food on the menu but can't wait to come back again. read more

This place is like straight out of China! I can't believe they have papaya soup dessert for $15 ..my mom makes it and she always told me to finish every drop for good skin lol But when we went with my in laws we wanted to keep it in the safe zone for them to try something less authentic so we got the shaved ice combo with green tea, sesame and coconut ..the sago was not as chewy as I'd like ...the egg waffle was also not as crunchy airy as the Hong Kong style but to have egg waffles on the ave is really exciting! Lots of items on the menu so will be back...possibly for some savory items read more

This is hands down one of the best dessert place in Seattle. The shaved ice taste amazing, pastries are so good and the cake is just to die for, the customer service is impeccable.

I cannot say enough good things about this place and recommend everyone to go ahead and try them. read more

I am so happy about this place. I am only giving it 4 stars because it didn't wow me away but it really brought my mood up from tom Thai down the ave which very much disappointed me. After my meal their I just wanted something sweet and I been waiting forever to try their shave ice & guess what? I finally did! I got a small because I wanted room to eat others. A small shave ice is only $4.93. STEAL! Very empty but still really good. So it's that you pick two- three flavors and two toppings. Another add on is another .50 I believe. Still pretty cheap in my book. The lady even came over and asked how we are doing and if we liked it. Which my friend and I did. Next time I'll return and I'll try their food & grab that shave ice again. Two thumbs up to this place :) read more

It's called Cafe O'Dessert for a reason... I have tried their savory items on 2 separate occasions and I have to say I would give it 1/2 a star. It's the second worst Taiwanese food after Yumbit on the ave and I don't even know if that place still exists. Anyways, the last time I went I had their Beef Noodle Soup and it was so bland. It was light in color and had no beef noodle soup flavor at all. You know when's the soups kinda reddish brown and it smells like Asian spices and it tastes so good. No, this one was bland and the noodles were thin and soggy. I never had Beef noodle soup with these thin noodles. I added so much soy sauce because I didn't want to waste food. Look at the picture I took! The sweet and sour chicken was just weird. The chicken was in flat pieces. I thought it was fish cake at first! It was crunchy and grossly tender. Not juicy tender. Crunchy as in it was soaked in ammonia and was super fake. You know how some restaurants have like weirdly crunchy shrimp and its bland because it's been processed so much..anyways, you couldn't even see the meat gradient or shred it apart and that's a problem ... Because REAL chicken shreds. The other occasion I got a black pepper pork cutlet thinking it was traditional Taiwanese Pai Goo fan (Pork Chop rice) excuse my very bad pinyin. It was not close to that, so it was quite disappointing and didn't taste very good... Why 3 stars? Their snowy shaved ice is okay. I need to stop comparing everything to LA, because nothing is like LA. So for the Ave quality it was alright. The waitress let me pick 2 flavors and a few toppings. Their shaved ice isn't as creamy as I've had but the flavor is pretty decent and their toppings are decent as well. I like their taro and sweet potato rice balls! One star for that. The service is friendly. 1 star. 1 more star for their extensive dessert menu. They serve hot desserts also that i would maybe like to try one day but other than that I'll be coming here if I HAVE to. read more

It was a nice hot day, the kind of day you just want to have some shaved ice. After having Indian food for lunch, we walked across the street to this cute little shop. The ladies were friendly and it wasn't packed. We ordered the mango shaved ice and a green tea egg waffle. We thought the egg waffle was going to come with green tea ice cream but it was actually green colored which was still just as good. The shaved ice was perfect, exactly what we needed on a hot day. It didn't have any hard bits of ice in it. It was actually beautifully shaven like you could see the folds of the ice. it was so soft and not too cold on the teeth. would definitely go back on a hot day. read more

Found this gem in the U district after dinner. Initially I was skeptical because there seems to be more of a dinner place but they have excellent desserts.
