We stopped here before headed to Walk for Peace at Lake Cunningham. It was a good idea to stop by to grab some refreshing drinks. This is the first time trying the desserts. I enjoyed my durian desserts. It was good, I'm not a fan of a lot of jellies in my drinks. I liked how it was made with coconut milk, durian, and jellies. I just would like my drink to be thicker and less jellies. But, it was still delicious. My sis ordered a Milo drink and wasn't a fan of it. My other sis got a strawberry matcha. She had no complaints. My mom enjoyed her taro dessert but wasn't a fan of the taro, durian, and salted egg. I thought it was overly sweet for my taste. We ordered extra drinks to offer to the monks (there were more than I expected)..oops! It was a warm day and we were all excited to be there. It was overall a great day and to have a place that was had unique Vietnamese drinks was a plus! read more

This place was on my saved list for a long time. Finally got to try the durian milk tea and the crepes here. LOVED them both. The reviews for the drinks are very mixed, specially durian madness. so I was nervous to order it. I chose the milk tea instead . It had chunks of fruit and salted foam at the top. 25% sweetness, less ice was perfect!!! Also tried the hambalang milk tea. It was a good black milk tea with jelly. Nothing too unique. Durian crepes were light , had a good balance of durian and the whip cream . read more

If you love durian, you have to try this spot. They have a bunch of different durian desserts and we went with the durian crepes. It's thin crepes filled with light whipped cream and real durian. The cream isn't too sweet, which balances the strong durian flavor really nicely. I just wish there was a higher durian to cream ratio. There's plenty of seating and you order at the counter. Just a heads up, there's a credit card charge for orders under $10. read more

Tried the durian crepe and it was delicious: rich, creamy, and not sweet (in the best way possible). The durian flavor really shines without being overpowering, which made it super enjoyable even if you're not into overly sugary desserts. I'm really glad I gave it a try. They also had a bunch of other durian baked options that looked great, so I'd definitely come back to try more. The inside was also very cutely decorated with a Vietnam theme, which made the whole experience even better. read more

My friend suggested this bakery. I tried the sweet potato mochi bread and egg coffee! The sweet potato mochi bread was good. It was the perfect amount of sweetness with sweet potato filling and the mochi is in the very middle. I wasn't too excited about the egg coffee. I've had better egg coffee elsewhere. I'm not sure what was missing but the flavor just seemed off to me. I feel that most egg coffees are creamier, but this just felt like a Vietnamese coffee. The wait was unexpectedly long. There were only 2 people ahead of me that ordered but I waited around 20-25 minutes. Not sure what took so long since the cashier told me the sweet potato mochi bread was already made and ready. I saw they had durian pastries but will try next time I'm around. read more

This is my second time getting the Durian Madness. The drink is good since it's not too sweet and includes real pieces of durian. The only problem is the sago because it's inconsistent. Some are cooked all the way while others aren't, which makes it difficult to chew. That's the worst part of the drink so I hope they make some changes to make it more consistent. read more

This is my go-to spot when I'm craving salted egg cupcakes as a quick bite. Food Mini Buns with Pate and Mayonnaise Rice Paper Salad Salted Egg Pork Buns Salted Egg Pork Floss Savory Cupcakes Location / Parking It's a shared parking lot with random businesses ranging from food to tax preparers and across from Chuck-E-Cheese. Customer Service Quick customer service is provided every time I stop by from the staff. The order comes out relatively quick after placing it. Ambiance Inside it is decorated with French/parisian-style items and there's an indoor seating area with couches and tables. There's a cashier and front counter area where some of the deli items are displayed for purchase. read more

This is the place for durian lovers in San Jose!!! They have three different types of drinks/desserts with durian: Durian Madness, Durian Dessert, and Durian Milk Tea. We ordered the Durian Madness. They also have the same amount of Taro drinks with similar names. The service was helpful, but some of their menu could use some descriptors to indicate what certain things are. And the ambiance has a chill vibe. read more

(Super late review from Feb 2024) My sister and friends were in town from Dallas TX and wanted to try all the popular spots in San Jose. I've heard a lot of good things about the durian dessert at this place and have tried a bite from a friend's purchase and it was bombbbb! Decor is pretty cute, resembles local spots in Vietnam. We ordered a drink (pictured), I honestly can't remember what it was. I just remembered it was so watered down and just gross. The snacks and desserts on the other hand were pretty good! Desserts aren't pictured, forgot to take pics. We ordered Viet style há cảo (har gow), and fish balls. They definitely got the flavor right and reminded me of my childhood in Saigon. If I'm in the area, I would probably stop by for the desserts and snacks. Bottom line: Great dessert and snack flavors read more

the spicy bread toasted is sooooo good. it's the only thing i've tried on the menu but i can guarantee it's the best. the drinks don't really call to me, but i think i need to try the durian items on the menu since it's their specialty. i'm deducting 1 star though because a) i hate the parking in this plaza and b) inconsistency in quantity and appearance. the amount of bread slices, mayo, green onion, and other toppings seems to vary per order. sometimes the person packing the order forgets to give utensils and napkins with the order. also note that there is a $0.50 surcharge on purchases under $10 if you're using card! read more

I don't know of any other bakery that serve durian crepe cakes but they do here! The crepe cake was $15 for a slice and delicious!!! The durian is fresh and presumably that why it's so good ... if you're into this "stinky" superfood! ;) It's heavy and it's a good size slice of cake. read more

Our friend recommended this bakery to us because of their traditional savory sponge cake, turns out their cake tastes very much like the traditional Taiwanese savory cake! Almost the same ingredients and texture, we brought their cakes to a weekend party and all of the guests loved it! read more

Dzui's Cakes & Desserts in a cute Vietnamese cafe specializing in Southeast Asian pastries and desserts. The service was friendly and welcoming. Though, my drink took somewhat longer to make than most places. The ambiance is welcoming and floral-ly. There are lots of seats inside to relax. They also have some outdoor garden seating. Egg Coffee - thick, rich espresso with a creamy egg cream topping. Though, a bit too much ice. Congratulations on over 5+ years and your continued success. read more

We shared a durian drink and got the durian crepes and sushi bread to go. The durian drink was basically a che with coconut milk and pieces of real durian. There were cups filled with the toppings (but without coconut milk) sitting in a display case, and you could point to the one you wanted so you would know what you were getting. The crepes were filled with cream and generous chunks of durian. The sushi bread was a very interesting concept, consisting of Asian-style bread topped with meat floss and nori. read more

If I could give it a 3.5, I would. I saw this place on Tik Tok and it seemed really good, but it was just a bit lack luster. The popcorn chicken was decent. The fried egg cake was also just ok. The rice paper salad didn't come with nearly enough sauce to hydrate rice paper to make it soft. The only way is to let it basically marinate, which doesn't help if you're ravenous. But even then, it's not enough to hydrate the rice paper. The durian cake was for mom, and she did raise her hands in praise, so I'll take it as a compliment. The sushi bread, while a milk bread, was way too sweet for my taste, especially with how savory it looked. I had really high expectations for this place, and it just didn't live up to what I thought it was gonna be. The indoor seating was really nice and I thought the outdoor seating was so charming. I don't think I'd be back, but they did have Labubu puddings that they were out of stock in, so maybe I'll come back for that. read more

The interior is very cute and quaint! Definitely a nice study/work spot. The workers are friendly and answered all my questions. As for the desserts: - Durian Madness 2/5: the durian flavor was strong, but i think that's because durian itself is a strong flavor. the milkshake itself was more icy than creamy, and was overall just OK. I wish it was creamier, more durian flavor. - Durian cream puffs 4/5: I got the non-craquelin cream puffs with a durian custard cream inside, they were pretty good! Not too sweet. I will say, i prefer a whipped cream and durian filling vs a durian custard, but that's more of a personal preference. - Durian Crepe pocket; 3.5/5 - Just alright! As much as I expected it to be. The filling was a little more whipped-cream like which I appreciate, but I did not really enjoy the crepe skin (not their fault) I liked that they put a piece of real durian in it though! - Popcorn chicken: 5/5; hard to mess up, comes with fried basil. they have a station to put the chili powder on it. - Korean cream cheese bagel 5/5: Super yummy, the sweet cream cheese goes great with the savory bagel. A must try. read more

I absolutely love this place! I always get the Durian Madness- it's rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with sago and a caramel drizzle! Just a tip: there's a $10 minimum for card purchases, so I usually grab a pastry to go with my drink (no complaints there) read more

Waited 20 minutes for 2 drinks on a Sunday. There weren't that many people when we've arrived, maybe 2 parties ahead of us, but there was a line after we left. Ordered the coconut coffee and egg coffee. I liked the consistency of the coconut coffee, sort of a slushy texture but I could not taste any coconut at all. Coffee part seemed diluted with the ice too. Egg coffee was bitter and too strong, without the egg adding any flavor to it. Ratio of coffee to flavoring for both drinks weren't great. Probably would come to try their pastries/food, but the drinks were not worth it for $15.50. read more

I honestly think the baked goods here rival the ones I ate in Vietnam. when visiting Dzuis, you MUST get the durian crepes!! my other favorites: - Paos ($3): the paos are freshly made displayed on the left of the counter--i tried the quail egg paos and they were so delicious with a flaky buttery crust! - Xoi: the sticky rice was yummy and came covered in savory toppings - Roasted Corn: corn had an addicting glazed and chewy texture, topped with fried onions. i caught myself finishing the whole box on my own - Salted Egg Sponge Cake: we always have to get one when we stop by here!! so decadent and creamy drinks: Durian Madness - in terms of their drinks, i found it too sweet and lacking flavor Overall, dzui's is our family's goto spot for specific Vietnamese baked goods, though they can be on the pricier side. dzui's interior is very ambient and lively with a quaint outside area as well, great for catching up with people! read more

We tried the pork floss cheese sponge birthday cake twice in this month, both ordered for birthday. The first time with very little cheese and the boss told me that if we ordered again, they would add more cheese. Guess what, we ordered! The second time came with even less cheese and no middle layer. The cake itself comes in 2 forms, the circle one and the square one. We ordered both. The square one only comes with one layer, and there is nothing in the sponge cake on the bottom which is very bland. So it is just some sprinkles of pork floss on top of a regular sponge cake. The cake is also quite dry. I would not recommend. I'm honestly disappointed especially we ordered the cake both times for birthday party! read more

The durian smoothie was very flavorful and yummy. I enjoyed the little tapioca sago in it as well. With durian being so creamy and rich, this smoothie was definitely very filling and was a bit too heavy after a bowl of hu tieu, so it did take me a while to finish it, but I enjoyed every last bit. Looking forward to coming back and trying a durian milk tea or one of their other desserts. One thing to note is that it does take them quite a while to prepare any of their orders. Despite the store being empty, I had to wait 15 minutes for my smoothie to be made. read more

This place is kind of like a hidden gem within the small area that it's in. It's in a corner next to a cafe. I've been here a couple of times and was a little disappointed this time around. I usually get their durian crepes, but this time I also wanted to try one of their drinks! Durian Madness(3/5): I liked how creamy the drink was and that it came with sago, but I felt like it lacked in the durian flavor. I could barely taste it and it didn't seem like there was a lot of the durian fruit in it as well. Durian Crepe(5/5): Their crepes were so good! I liked how soft it was and the cream inside was airy and slightly sweet! The crepes itself come in two flavors being durian and pandan. The filling is the same with the cream and bits of durian. Overall, I enjoyed my items but I'll get a different drink next time. read more

I usually come here for the durian madness, which is a rich durian smoothie or for the ah durian which is like a durian milk tea. I came closer to closing so they said they were out of both. I ended up getting the durian dessert which is basically a durian che. I think the flavor wasn't very strong, it just tasted like milk, not much durian flavor. I did really enjoy the jelly's in it. There was a pandan jelly and it tasted really fragrant, I think they use real pandan leaves. The drinks are pricey but durian itself is expensive so it's understandable. It used to be a really small shop but they expanded it so there is a lot of space and tables and chairs to enjoy your drink and chill. read more

Durian milk tea -what pretty good. I love the durian bits in it. It was really creamy too Egg coffee -a bit bitter -more egg would make it taste better 4 durian crepes -love that we can share this more easily -Kind of a perfect proportion -prefer this over the cake version Durian cream puff -nice and bite sized -would be better with more durian Durian crepe cake slice -was sort of a big portion for me since I had a bunch of other things but wouldn't get this over the individual portions since I don't prefer coconut shavings The cashier gurl was also really nice, patient, and explained the menu very well. There was an outside eating area that had great sunlight. The indoors decor was also super cute. It had a mix of vintage and outdoor furniture and props. read more

I've been their customer for years but this time is disappointing. I ordered 3 kumquat teas & all cups are full of ice and barely any tea! We asked the cashier about it & the answer we got was because this tea is a concentration & it should melt later. I've ordered this drink many time but never receive this absurd amount of ice! This is a feedback to Dzui's owner, hope it would not happen again. I'll stick to less ice drinks going forward read more

Great cute retro Vietnamese dessert spot! They have decor from the 50's or 60's (I think that's the era lol) that's nostalgic and charming.

If you're a fan of durian, this place is for you! It's located in a Vietnamese plaza, parking was enough on a Saturday afternoon. They have a drink menu but other than that, there's no menu for their dessert items. You just have to figure it out or ask the worker. I believe they also serve savory items which I want to try next time! Tons of people were ordering that. This cafe had tons of seating and has a "picnic" type ambiance to it. I ordered the rau ma drink, fresh durian crepe, and durian sponge cake, total came out to $26 excluding tax. Yeesh! The rau ma drink was not my cup of tea - it's made out of a plant so if you're not used to drinking vegetable in a sweet drink, then it may not be for you. Definitely an acquired taste. The durian dessert though, were amazing! My favorite was the durian crepe. I normally don't crave durian and only eat it when my parents have them. The smell doesn't bother me since I grew up eating it, but it may be bothersome to some since the smell was a little strong for a dessert. The crepe skin was so smooth and aesthetically pleasing, that first bite was amazing! Tasted not too sweet, has some other fruit in there, and then that durian hits and it went so well with the cream and everything else. The durian sponge cake was also delicious, it had chunks of fresh durian on top. I brought this to share with family and most people were able to eat it. Overall I need to come back here and try their other items! Kind of wish they have a more visible menu with pricing and items listed. Otherwise good luck! read more

Love this dessert place. All the dessert is delicious. We love their durian dessert as well as cookies and offerings.

I've been wanting to come here for awhile and try out the various different desserts and snacks they had and I finally got the chance to! i wish I could've got something with only durian in it but I opted for this mayo, taro, durian cake situation with pork floss on top. I had no idea what it was but it honestly took me by surprise on how good it was. The cake worked really well with the mayo and pork floss, combining both savory and sweet flavors together. I barely tasted any durian in it but it didn't deter me from the cake as a whole. I also saw ones with sausage on top as well. I would have to get that kind for next time. The cake was soft and airy an overall, it was delicious! read more

Finally got to try the durian shake and crepe cake. It was delicious. I like better than the durian wrap. The durian shake was ok... tasted very light and diluted. It was busy but got our order in. Had to wait for 10-15 minute for the shake though. Guess they were busy. Had some benches to hangout or sit down. read more
