Came here for the rolled ice cream, but ended up getting crepe instead. I've heard about this for a while, but never actually went. I saw so many pictures on how nicely it was set up for pictures, but still i didn't go. Well I finally decided to just go and stop having that fomo feeling. Worth it. It's exactly like how most picture show it is. Very picturesque and fun. They have plenty of table games so you and your friends will always have a good time. I got their crepe. I can't recall the actual name of it.. I switched out their vanilla ice cream with chocolate ice cream. It had bananas, and a cheesecake on the bottom. I thought it would be more of a wrap, but it came as a cone. Still delicious. read more

What an incredible and surprising find while driving through Salt Lake City! I came here for takeout with my friends to see what their crepe cakes are all about. They have certain flavors available in slices depending on the season, so we ordered the Sakura and the Yuzu flavor. Sakura was delicious and creamy, definitely had that hint of cherry blossom, fragrant flavor to it that is very similar to rose. Yuzu blew me away with the delightful citrus flavor that reminded me of honey citron tea. Both cakes had the right amount of crepe and cream, a little on the sugary side, and two slices was definitely enough for three of us. Would recommend for their crepe cakes; we all talked about how the flavors are so much more fun than Lady M in NYC (which I frequent once in a while). I wish I was local so I could get an entire cake! read more

I love to try new places, and was looking forward to trying Doki Doki! The desserts looked amazing, but the one I wanted to try the most was, which was the crepes, not what I expected. Staff was great, helpful, and friendly. I enjoyed the little cake cups, but was left wanting more from the Crepe Cakes. I love to cook crepes and make them for my family and friends to enjoy. These crepes were a little different, I would like to clarify for anyone reading this- this is my personal opinion based on knowing what traditional crepes taste and feel, and I don't want to deter anyone from trying them! Please try them you may like them. I would definitely try the cakes again, those were yummy! read more

The COVID management of the way the indoor seating was being used scared me away from wanting to eat anything indoors. That said, I was there to try the rolled ice cream. I knew the crepe cake slices would be fantastic, but also knew without advanced planning, I'd not be able to get one. The rolled ice cream was excellent. It certainly put itself in the top tier of anything out there. Another time, I will make an effort to get some crepe cake, and when I can be comfortable sitting inside a fluffy pancake. read more

SO...this was a hard review for me due to so many cons and pros. Beware: This is a long one! I'll start with the Cons. For me, at least, this was NOT a customer-friendly place. When I discovered that they had these 2 items that I have been dying to try for awhile now (namely, the "Japanese Souffle Pancake" AND "Mille Crepe Cake"!!), I did everything I could to squeeze them into my short trip to Salt Lake City, Utah. Well, unfortunately, things weren't so easy. For their Crepe Cake, you have to first place an online order way in advance and pay for the item/items. Then, you have to pick it up after 5 pm. Well, my plan was to stop in around noon to have my Souffle Pancake, and while there, pick up the Crepe Cake. With that in mind, I emailed them (via their website) many days ago, requesting a Friday noon pick-up. No response!! So I call the place directly, and spoke with a lady (who turned out to be the Manager or an Owner...and happened to be there when I visited), who basically said YES, I CAN have the Souffle Pancake at noon on the day of my visit (Friday), but that NO, I can't pick up the Crepe Cake at noon (though I requested this way in advance via email). That meant I would have to uber back to this place on Saturday. BTW, time is precious while you're traveling, and to do this for a frickin' cake?!? That's not all. Now comes the big runaround with the almighty "Japanese Souffle Pancake". I show up at noon (as I called in advance) to finally feast on this "dream" cake, and this cashier tells me that I have to come back at 3 pm since nobody was there to cook this special item. WTF?!? I told this girl that I just talked to someone on the phone prior to driving over here, but to no avail. I was furious, but stayed calm...and sure enough, I returned calmly at 3 pm. Then, ANOTHER Cashier tells me that I have to return at 5 pm since there STILL wasn't anyone to work up this special Souffle Pancake. O-M-G, I was just about to lose my cool when luckily, this lady that I talked on the phone happened to hear me...and told the Cashier to go tell them to go ahead and make these special items for me (both items!). So surely, it was completely possible...they just weren't willing until the boss lady asked them to do so. Again, WTF?!? I appreciated this lady for stepping up and honoring her word (over the phone)...but what was all this runaround service beforehand...of all the obstacles to get these cakes?!? Online ordering, special pick-up times, no-show cooks for the Souffle Pancake, etc. etc. So NO...I was NOT happy with their so-called service up to that point. Of course when the lady asked the cashiers/cooks to go ahead and do this for me, they hopped to it. Honestly, I was glad it worked out for me...but at the same time, I was quite ticked off. Again, what a monumental pain it was for me to get these treats! LOL?? OK, so I wrote a book lol. Let me now get to the Pros, and I'll make this part as short as possible (if that's possible?). SO...after much painstaking this and that, I finally ended up getting my "Japanese Souffle Pancake" AND the "Mille Crepe Cake" (both in Matcha Green Tea flavors)...and just WOW. Both were just breathtakingly DEEEEE-Lish. In fact, the Souffle Pancake almost had this other-worldly texture to it that was just too much (and Yes, it jiggled!)!! My only complaint here was that the Souffle Pancakes weren't as smooth, plump and pretty as the ones I've seen from NYC and LA...but I guess just the fact that this SLC eatery HAD them, I'll count my blessings. They added some fruits and whipped cream, along with the Matcha Green Tea syrup to add...and it definitely improved the aesthetics (and taste!). The Mille Crepe was also equally amazing. Though a tad creamier than I had hoped, but the crepe texture and the flavor were just amazing! BTW, I also tried their Vanilla Milk Tea with Boba...and it was just OK at most. In short, both Souffle Pancake and Crepe Cake were beyond delicious...but it sure was a royal pain getting them. If based strictly on the service I got prior to getting these cakes, I would rate this place a 1-2 stars, but the cakes themselves were 5-plus in my book (in terms of taste, but not as high in terms of presentation)...so guess that makes my experience here 3-4 stars? Amazing selection of desserts, but WHAT a PAIN. read more

Doki Doki is such a neat place! Came in to try their passion fruit crepe cake but only to find out they just ran out of it. We went ahead and tried their tiramisu, white chocolate raspberry, pistachio. Also tried their taiyakis and a couple of ombré drinks. They were all delicious! I went online the next night to order their 10 inches passion crepe cake for my fiancé's birthday and oh man, they were a hit!! I gave a huge portion away to a friend and we had more than a quarter left to eat a slice with espresso for breakfast three days. I would absolutely recommend their passion fruit crepe cake - you won't regret it (unless you don't like the flavor, you're missing out bro). read more

So innovative, so unique, and so inventive. Doki Doki is an Asian-inspired dessert cafe with a rotating menu of innovative creations. This cute little shop is run by the cutest little Vietnamese girl (Doki Doki is a city in Vietnam) and she takes old Asian recipes and adds an American fusion twist--and they are some of the more unique things you'll taste in Utah. I was especially impressed with their new Shibuya Honey Toast. This is not your mama's toast! Especially when you put a scoop of ice cream on top, I'm sold. I tried the Nuts About You honey toast: cinnamon honey toast, dark chocolate chantilly cream, candid walnuts, slivered almonds, a scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate ganache whipped in, cookies (oreo and biscoff), and two chocolate covered strawberries. She has taken a traditional Japanese toast recipe and made it her own by using brioche instead of a tradition Japanese milk bread and soaking it in cinnamon and honey custard, then grilling it. It was like a thick, beautiful Japanese-American fusion French toast. I was also impressed with her crepe cakes. 20 layers of crapes filled with her creamy custard. I absolutely appreciate the fact that she keeps the seeds in her passion fruit crepe cake. You cannot experience passion fruit in its purity unless you eat the edible seeds as well. read more

Kind of a let-down? We had heard a lot of good things about Doki Doki, so we decided to check it out. It was really busy when we got there, the wait was long, and seating was hard to come by. When it was our turn to order, we were told they were out of a lot of their menu options and only had one ice cream flavor available. When we got our food, the presentation was nice, but the ice cream tasted like cheap, watered-down gas station soft serve. We also got a crepe that wasn't anything special. Both items we ordered were pretty expensive for the quality of items we got. Maybe we came at the wrong time, but I'm not sure we'll be coming back. It was a cool experience, but the food was meh. read more

Popped in for some dessert after dinner on a Sunday night and was surprised to see how popular and lively it was! I really liked the ambience and all the cute decor of this dessert shop. There's even a mini room with board games and lots of pillows, which would be really fun to lounge around and chill with friends when COVID is over. Doki Doki has a pretty extensive dessert menu, ranging from crepes, Japanese fluffy pancakes, drinks, taiyaki soft service, to crepe cakes -- all accessible for order via a QR code. My friend and I got the Berry Bunny rolled ice cream to share, which was super delicious, complemented with fresh berries that make you feel more healthy and less guilty when indulging in ice cream at 8PM. I really liked the smooth, creamy texture of the ice cream because I've had some really icy rolled ice cream before, and that's never pleasant. The tower spirals are also rolled super cute, which makes it even more fun to eat. All in all -- really happy to find an amazing dessert place and would def return to try more items on the menu with friends. Will def order the crepe cakes one day for a special event bc there's no Lady M in SLC and bc they look so gorgeous and delicious! read more

My overall experience here with very good. The desserts had amazing flavors and I especially loved the ube ice cream sundae. There was only one kiosk to order on, which made ordering a bit difficult. Because it was my first time being here, I had a couple questions to ask and with people waiting behind me to order on the one kiosk, it made it so I felt pressured to order quickly. If you had a question you could go up to the counter and ring the bell for someone to come and talk to you. Unfortunately, the situation just made it so I just didn't get everything I wanted, but I did get a lot of good desserts. read more

Had heard this place was one of the best Japanese dessert places in town, but I really didn't get the hype. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great either. Granted maybe I need to go back and try a few more items on their menu, but I mostly left the restaurant disappointed with my order. Food & Presentation I ordered the custard tayaki with the taro ice cream and biscoff cookie mix-in. The taro ice cream tasted good and the biscoff cookie was a great addition, but they really missed the mark with the tayaki. The tayaki is made open (which I have never seen before) and so, therefore, there isn't very much custard in it, and it's already pretty small, to begin with. Thinking that this was only due to the esthetics of the fish being in the ice cream I ordered two single taiyakis and they both were just as small and open as well. I also noticed when I got home that I had been overcharged and paid 14 bucks for 2 taiyakis when in reality 14 bucks would have gotten me 4 single taiyakis. The presentation though I will say is their saving grace. Having the fish be on top of and "eating" the ice cream was very creative. Vibe and Service The vibe of the restaurant is great, but nothing to brag about necessarily. I do love their decor and the little nook they have on the left-hand side so that people can eat on the floor. I also thought the area near the windows with sitting pillows was a good touch. The service was good! I'll have to go back and try some other items on the menu and update this review, but honestly, my first experience there doesn't really make me want to go back, unfortunately. read more

Doki Doki has seriously upped the asian dessert scene! We recently moved back to Utah after being gone for 3 years. Prior to moving, the asian dessert and drink scene was seriously lacking, especially in SLC. There were a couple of boba shops popping up, but not much. Fast forward 3 years and the food scene appears to have diversified much more. Doki Doki offers a variety of asian desserts including sweet crepes, crepe cake slices, Japanese fluffly pancakes, rolled ice cream, taiyaki soft serve, and of course boba drinks. The Japanese crepe cakes are made with 20 thin slices of crepe and are absolutely delightful. They offer 2 different flavors weekly, but also take custom orders as well. You can order a whole beautiful crepe cake! My favorite is the matcha crepe cake, which is something I haven't had since living in NYC. The matcha flavor is on point. The rolled ice cream is my husband's favorite hands down. Their rolled ice cream is much creamier than most rolled ice cream places and I love how they spiral the rolls up to make little towers. The rolled ice cream does take longer to make, but is well worth the wait. I'm a big fan of their rolled ice cream. Now onto the taiyaki... I was so thrilled to see that there is now taiyaki in Utah! Taiyaki is a fish shaped soft waffle cone, lined with a flavor of your choice, and pairs with soft serve ice cream. They change up their soft serve flavors weekly. I have had both the matcha and the cereal-infused milk flavor. I loooved the cereal infused milk flavor. So creamy and the perfect level of sweetness. My favorite drinks here are the ombre drinks. Not only are they pretty with the ombre color effects, but so refreshing! Whenever I am in Salt Lake I wanna swing by for a tea (the princess peach is so good). Ok, now onto fluffy pancakes! Fluffy pancakes can be difficult to find in even some larger cities. My friend ordered this once and I got to try a bite. Definitely worth trying out! Overall, Doki Doki is a super cute shop with delicious treats and different nook and crannies to sit in. The owners are very sweet and friendly. This is definitely my favorite dessert shop in Utah by far. Five stars for excellent asian desserts and kudos for taking the dessert game to a new level! read more

So happy to have a Japanese dessert place in town! We went on a busy weekend and ordered pancakes, rolled ice cream, Berry tea and taiyaki ice cream. Everything tasted amazing except the fluffy pancakes were a bit undercook and my friends did not like it. It also takes 15 minutes of wait time for the pancakes to be made so you might want to plan for that if you're wanting to try it. I loved the Taiyaki ice cream, but if you don't like desserts to be too sweet (like me) just skip the crunch. The store has different special flavors for the week so you might want to check that out on their Instagram page before going. read more

I love Japan desserts! This place does a great job at providing authentic Japanese style crepes, crepe cakes, and fluffy pancakes. The cakes was great. So light and fluffy, it's like eating a cloud! Flavor was not over the top and too sweet, literally just perfect!!! The crepes with berries was great, they drizzled honey on it which paired so well with the berries and cream. The fluffy pancakes had more of an "eggy" taste than I prefer. They are still cute though! 10/10 for very appealing display and presentation of their food. This is a great place to try when downtown in Salt Lake, they've got lots of comfortable seating to hang out. read more

The sticky rice, to my surprise it actually has rice in it! It was super dense though and but really fun to eat. Not much coconut taste though. Just pretty good. The pomegranate float with lemon Perrier was refreshing, cause both the ice cream and Perrier were ice cold. I would totally prefer this over a scoop of ice cream, to be frank.

If you're looking for pastries that are as stunning as they are delicious, Fillings & Emulsions…read moreabsolutely delivers. Their fruit-shaped creations are little works of art--so realistic it almost feels wrong to eat them... almost. Each pastry is fresh, light, and packed with flavor. The pistachio was incredibly tasty, though definitely on the richer side, so it's one you might want to savor slowly. The raspberry had a beautifully balanced sweetness with a vibrant, delicious filling. The lemon was very zingy--almost intensely so--but still delightful if you enjoy bold citrus flavors (just maybe not an entire one in a single sitting). The standout, though, was the mango. Easily the winner. It had such a bright, powerful flavor, and the fresh mango inside made every bite feel special. Everything about it--from taste to presentation--was just beautiful. The only slight letdown was the macarons. While still good, they didn't quite match the intensity and uniqueness of the pastries and felt a bit underwhelming in comparison. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you appreciate creative, high-quality desserts. It's clear a lot of skill and care goes into every piece. I loved the building that the pastry shop was in, as it had a "lunch room" feel to it. There are a few restaurants inside so there are options and there's plenty of seating.

With SLC being so cold, it was bizzare that I wanted ice cream, but indeed I did. My first stop was a gelato place but it was crowded with kids and there wasn't a lot of seating, so I passed and continued forth. Sweet Rolled was the next closest option. Here, there was much more seating and the area was incredibly spacious. There were lots of sweet rolled ice cream taco combos to choose from! I ended up getting the Strawberry Shortcake, which had strawberry ice cream mixed with graham crackers and caramel syrup, all rolled into ice cream rolls of course. Then it was sandwiched into a waffle cone shaped into a taco shell, topped with whipped cream, more caramel syrup, a golden oreo cookie, and two strawberry pocky. I didn't think I could finish it all, but it was too delicious not too! If I lived in SLC, I would stop here much more frequently to try all the combos available!

I recently moved to SLC from SoCal and Matcha Café Kyoto came up in my online algorithm (probably…read morebc I have been checking out local sweets and dessert places). I thought it sounded yummy since I enjoy matcha and ube. So I checked it out today for a post-lunch dessert. I really enjoyed it and definitely plan on returning to try some of their other offerings. Today I ordered the matcha ube shaved ice and the cherry blossom latte (I had them make mine using coconut milk). I ate the shaved ice at the cafe and took the cherry blossom latte to go because I wanted to drink it later. They put it in a cute bag! Since it was my first visit there I wanted to try the ube and matcha separately, so for the shaved ice I ordered matcha shaved ice on the bottom, followed by the matcha soft serve and then the ube soft serve on top of that. Next time I order the shaved ice, I think I will most likely have the matcha shaved ice with the matcha/ube twist soft serve on top now that I know how each one tastes on their own. I also would do matcha shaved ice with just the ube soft serve on top. Or maybe ube shaved ice with matcha soft serve on top. The matcha was tasty, and like other reviewers have said, you can tell it's good quality matcha. I really enjoyed the ube, it was very yummy to me. I think for my next visit I'm going to try the ube parfait. The cherry blossom latte was good. I got the sweetened version (it was lightly sweetened not super sweet, which I liked). I didn't want something super sweet. It didn't/doesn't have matcha in it. That was fine with me because I wanted to save it for later and didn't want to have caffeine later in the day. I do think it would taste good with matcha in it though. Overall I enjoyed this cafe. I look forward to trying more items. As of right now the other things I want to try are the ube parfait, the shaved ice again, the warabimochi, the hojicha yuzu latte, and the strawberry matcha latte. If you like matcha and/or ube, I would definitely recommend checking out Matcha Café Kyoto. I know I will be again. Support a local business so that they are able to stay around for us to enjoy.

The bathroom is hidden to the right of the store walking in. Just a warning, the further you go in the store, the more it smells like bathroom... When I first walked in, I wasn't greeted - which is fine, there were a handful of people inside. While ordering, I had asked what was popular and what the cashier suggests, and she said "matcha". I told her it was my first time but she didn't proceed with any recommendations. I decided to go with the ube matcha with oatmilk. She then asked if I'd like cream with it, I had asked if she suggested it and she responds with "well everyone gets it with creamer". Ok so I agreed to try it out. Why not cause everyone gets it with creamer right? I waited about 10 mins, which isn't bad considering the amount of people. She called my name and had 3 other drinks with her. I asked her if the one she was handing me was with oatmilk , and she says "well that's what you ordered right" I tried it and it wasn't oatmilk. I brought it up to her attention and she kinda just said "sorry" and that was all....unfortunately, I can't say it was the best service. If I decide to come back next time, I'll only get straight matcha instead of a latte just to try again. The matcha didn't have a strong taste to it. It was on the watery side. Perhaps I came on the wrong day a they were off with their orders. Who knows...

Another great Utah ice cream!…read more High cream content, creative flavors. The place is small, but they also have several tables upstairs. The main downstairs just feels a bit cramped. Employees are friendly and helpful. I sampled the G.O.A.T. Wonderful flavor that didn't taste at all like goat cheese, which is used to make the base. There is a blueberry swirl and rosemary seasoned almond slivers. So good. I also sampled their Mint Chocolate Chip. It was white. They seep their mint leaves or some process that I can't exactly remember to make the base. Different. Tastes great, more spearminty than the usual mint chocolate chip ice creams. I had the Muddy Buddy and Honeycomb. The Muddy Buddy was good, I enjoyed the chocolate ice cream. It needs more of that delicious peanut butter ribbon and less of the Muddy Buddy Chex. There were too many which got in the way of enjoying the ice cream and they were too sweet. Not going to order that again. The Honeycomb--oh my. I should have just gotten two scoops of that. It was divine. Good reason why they are known for it. So glad that they are open until 11:00 p.m. That makes it nice for when you get out of an Utah Symphony concert at Abravanel Hall. It's a 10 minute walk from there. Everything else is closed. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

There's a craft counter, a chocolate counter, and an ice cream counter, and no clear lines or what not. At first glance, it's not immediately obvious where to focus your attention, so I went with the ice cream for here and took the chocolates walking. The owner was out on the floor chatting with customers, which gave the place a welcoming and local feel. It was nice. A few times I hovered close to him and tried to find an opening to ask him some questions about the products, but he was busy with other guests. As for the history of the business, there are enough newspaper clippings and articles on the walls to keep anyone occupied while waiting. Most of the staff appeared to be high school- or younger college-aged employees handling the day-to-day operations. The ice cream isn't made in-house (it's Farr's brand), so this review is more about the experience than the product itself. The serving size was fair, and I opted for the spumoni. Yes, really, spumoni. Three other people in our group between their twenties and forties had never even heard of the flavor before. The ice cream is scooped from a mixed single barrel rather than barrel with separated sections, so the chocolate, pistachio, and cherry had blended together. It was kind of like putting different sodas into the same cup. While I enjoy ice cream and these flavors, others might not think the same. The standout items for me were the chocolates. The bourbon chocolate came with a huge flavor punch. It was rich, bold, and intense enough that I needed a break and a glass of water afterward. It's not for the faint of heart and you need to be serious about chocolates to have an appreciation for this one. The marzipan, on the other hand, was a perfect follow-up. Not to sweet, balanced, and a very nice almond flavor. It was delicious and served as a nice palate refresher after the bourbon's performance. Between the chocolates and the owner's visible presence this was an enjoyable stop. The chocolates were easily the stars of the visit and worth it if you're in the area.

We parked in the lot by Barnes & Noble and walked over. The interior of the restaurant was super cute, and I loved the tall ceiling. There was plenty of seating and I liked the open kitchen. I've always enjoyed watching kitchen staff work their magic while preparing our dishes. We were greeted and seated promptly. I already had an idea of what I wanted to order, and so did my husband. We were here strictly for the ramen, but there are also rice bowls and sushi if ramen isn't your thing. I went with the mega pork ramen and added black garlic oil, while my husband went with the tan tan men. While we waited, we watched as several other parties also arrived for a late dinner. Even though there was only one server, she was quite efficient. It didn't take very long for our food to arrive, and we were eager to dig in. We asked for chili powder on the side, which our server was a little confused about, but finally understood and brought us some in a little dish. I was a little surprised they didn't have the powder at each table like at other ramen restaurants I've been to. I immediately noticed the layer of oil (not the black garlic oil, the red oil) on top of both of our ramen. It was thicker than I would have liked, but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and mixed it in with the rest of the broth. The flavor of the broth was fine. It was decent if this was your first experience with ramen, but as someone who has had plenty of top tier ramen spots in the Bay Area and Sacramento, the broth wasn't memorable. Honestly, the layer of oil was also what threw the balance off. The noodles were bouncy and chewy, and the meat was tender. My favorite cut was the pulled pork chashu. The egg was yolky but not as seasoned as a proper ajitama should have been. My husband had similar remarks about his tan tan men, but at least we agreed that both of our bowls, while not spectacular, were consistent and cohesive as dishes. Ramen Legend, to us, seemed like the kind of spot that attracts patrons due to its centralized location, but it was definitely not the best ramen I've had.
