I'm originally from SF and when I first saw that there was a place to get my favorite ice cream I couldn't pass up on it. I love taking my parents to get their favorite flavors of ice cream without having to go far!! They have an amazing selection of treats from amazing drinks, to dessert like candied grapes and pineapples, mini pancakes, Dubai strawberries and ice cream hands down they have it all!! Will always continue to take my friends and family members to try the deliciousness that this shop has to offer!!!

I've been on a support local business kick and after reading about Destenny's in a couple of local…read morewrite ups, I kept her in mind. I was contemplating a sundae. I'm currently boycotting that national pink and brown chain with the number of flavors for some extraordinarily rude service in the neighboring town. I had currently supported a local ice cream shop over in El Portal and was satisfied. I didn't want to go that far so I remembered Destenny's which is near where I live. Quaint small shop. Kudos for re-imagining a small space for a local business. Not many flavors but a good quality product in Mitchell's. The lady was very nice in making my split. She went out of her way to accommodate my need to transport my split in a container. My only issue is the split and a Red Bull came to $20 (plus apparently $1.50 for using a card). I didn't trip and immediately paid it. Now the split was awesome. But I got home and was like waiminute...$20?? The split from the other local place was $9 plus tax. The chain woulda been $7 plus. Was the split $15 and the Red Bull $5? Was the split $10 and the Red Bull $10. Ironically, I was contemplating going to Safeway and getting the fixings myself but ultimately decided naw, I don't need to spend that much, plus remember, we're supporting local. I got a loyalty card and I DID like the product. Maybe I'll try again and get a price point before I order

They have one kiosk for you to order drinks. We ordered an ube latte, strawberry matcha, and fried calamari. Drinks and food were super yummy! 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.

The berries were super sweet and fresh, but there was so much ice cream that most of them ended up falling on the floor. My baby really enjoyed her Oreo ice cream, and my partner said his tasted just like a bowl of cereal! It was around $30 for the three of us, which felt a little pricey , but the service was immaculate. Overall, I'd definitely come back especially to try their boba teas!

I had been wanting to try the Dubai chocolate for awhile, but couldn't find it at any local shops and was hesitant to purchase online. The bar was quite large at 8 oz. and topped with a beautiful dusting of gold powder. The chocolate had a nice snap and the pistachio butter and phyllo filling was absolutely delicious - crispy, creamy, and not overly sweet. I initially thought the price was a bit steep at $25, but considering the size, quality, and taste after trying it, I would buy it again. They only had milk chocolate available at the time and were sold out of the dark chocolate, which is my favorite, so I'll be looking out for that dark chocolate bar next time!

Absolutely blown away by the Don Julio speciality cake. It was beyond stunning--the details, the…read moredesign, and the overall presentation completely exceeded my expectations. It was the first thing everyone noticed, and it instantly became the hit of the party. The best part? It tasted almost as incredible as it looked, which is so rare with custom cakes.

It was absolutely delicious and made the occasion even more special. Please extend my sincerest compliments to the chef for such a beautiful and wonderful creation.

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.

Safe to say we'll never be coming back to this location. Make sure you count how many pieces they give you!

It didn't taste quite like banana pudding but definitely banana flavor. The edges were slightly crispy while the middle was buttery and chewy. Impressive and maybe worth it as a once-in-awhile-treat. It's $3ish per cookie which beats Crumbl in both quality and pricing. They have a few unique flavors (i.e. 7up, peach cobbler, etc.) which I understand rotate on a monthly basis. My sweet clients were really happy when they saw the box which was the cherry on top. Glad I can check off this Yelp bookmark and that they have several locations in my territory! I got lucky this time with street parking right outside.
