Taro desserts have my whole heart and the Vanilla Taro slice from Sweet Cakes in Flushing delivered…read moreexactly what I needed! The layers were light and fluffy, the taro flavor came through beautifully without being too heavy, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced, not that sugar overload you sometimes get with cake. It was just right. Decadent in the best way possible.

I tried the black sesame earl gray cake and it was so soft and moist I got it 2 days in a row. I wish I could have tried the other desserts but did not get the chance to - will definitely make sure to visit again to try the other options!

The best dessert spot I've tried in New York, and probably in my top 5 spots overall…read more The Harvest was such a cute concept, and you get to pour a little milk tea can over the pot, which surprisingly goes really well with the "soil" cheesecake. The ube-rri was by far the most delicious mousse I've had, everything about the dessert blended so well together. There's a lot of celebrity visitors on the walls and I can see why! It's pretty tight in the seating area but they do a good job of getting people in and out. I actually do think the wait for these desserts was worth it.

We came here late (5 minutes before closing) so unfortunately we were limited on items to order…read more The blueberry cookie 6/5 Nice chewy texture (for all the cookies) but flavor was the bestt in terms of nutty (taro or ube) and fresh bluberries such a great combination! Matcha cookies Nice chocolate flavor. Didnt taste the match but a good low sweet chocolate cookie 6/10 Oreo chocolocate cookie 7/10 If you like texture and chocolate this one is for you. Definitely give the other specialty deserts a try as we couldn't order them, they look so good and is worth the hype and value/price!

Ambiance (5/5): Super cute little café with plenty of seating in the back with multiple booths and…read moresmaller tables. We came on a Sunday 8p and it was about half full. Thought bathrooms were clean. Service (5/5): You use the call button to get their attention at the front and the server came immediately once called. The food came at intervals. Food (5/5): Sadly they were out of all the crepe cakes which looked really good. The prices for the menu items were relatively affordable! Shaved Ice with Mango milk (+$1 upgrade for the face): For the pic, we upgraded! The features were edible. The flavoring was tasty! Ice cream with boba: This one was my favorite! The ice cream was rich, creamy/heavy, and coupled well with the boba. The boba was nested below the large scoops of ice cream so a little hard to get to. (I wonder if they make the ice cream in-house as their fridge was stocked with whole milk!) Black sesame with rice balls (hot): This was my least favorite but still good. Forward black sesame taste, more congealed than I would have liked, not sweet at all! With tip, the 3 desserts landed at $50.

Located right to Tangram mall, this dessert spot is a bit hidden and looking in, you might suspect…read morethat there's not much going on. But, this spot hides a really cozy space to enjoy some desserts with friends. Service here is pretty quick, and kind. I got their soy milk shaved ice and it was so good. The shaved ice was light and it tasted exactly like soy milk (which I love). It also came with cheese foam, ice cream, and mochi. It was the perfect dessert that wasn't too heavy or sweet. Would love to come back to try some of their other items.

So glad I saw this place online because it's so hidden, I wouldn't have found it otherwise…read more Ordered the smile egg puffs with egg tart filling. Warm, gooey, and pudding-like. Honestly, one of my favorite egg tart products I've tried in a while. This is made fresh-to-order, so I did have to wait a bit. Definitely worth it though. Each egg is $3. I wish it were cheaper and/or larger, but it's a cute food. Buy 5, get 1 free.

This place deserves 0 star..... the worst pancake. Expensive horrible pancakes…read more See photo, it looks nasty. Tastes just like a cheap sponge cake. Paid $15 for this Mess!

I am addicted to Mr Bear!!!!! It was crazy packed on Saturday here but for great reasons. It's too…read moredelicious not to buy. My favorite part: not too sweet and doesn't make me feel fatigue after eating! The texture is like an airy mousse but sponge cake cheesecake. I have no idea how to explain, you just need to try it!!! Their cakes starts at $19.99 and up depending on other flavors or limited time flavors. We got the coconut lava and ube taro! The ube taro was our favorite because you can taste it even though it was light. The coconut is our go to, we always buy this flavor! When I went, there were free samples on their counter so hopefully you can try a little piece before purchasing a whole cake!

The most aesthetic Chinese teahouse I've ever been to. Tucked away on a quiet street in Flushing,…read morethey serve the prettiest traditional pastries and mochi. The menu is extensive, and every dessert looks stunning. I'll definitely need multiple visits to try everything. The ancient Chinese decor and dining booth had such a vibe, and you can even borrow hanfu (漢服) for photos. The names of their pastries are also very poetic. TLDR: The traditional dessert soups are must-haves, and the mochi definitely outshines the pastries. ＊Osmanthus Sweet Fermented Rice Milk Mochi 桂花酒釀水麻薯 $6.99 *** My favorite out of everything! The floral osmanthus notes paired beautifully with the sweet fermented rice wine, and the milk mochi was perfectly soft and stretchy. It's also the best-value dessert on the menu imo. ＊Pear Sweet Soup with Snow Fungus 冰糖銀耳桃膠雪燕烤梨 $12.99 ** This felt like a warm hug in the winter. Served hot in a traditional ceramic pot, it was nourishing with poached pear, snow fungus, peach gum, and goji berries. My mom gave her stamp of approval on this. ＊Mochi Combo 軟酪合集 $20.99 * I was a little sad they ran out of the persimmon mochi...it looked so cute...But the jasmine guava mochi and yuzu matcha mochi were both delicious and super soft. I swapped the third mochi for a matcha pastry (玉妃 抹茶奶黄), which was just okay. ＊Mousse Dessert Combo 珍寶格 慕斯合集 $36.99 These desserts were beautifully crafted, almost too pretty to eat. The peony mousse was my favorite, especially with the crunchy rice krispy base. The set also comes with your choice of tea (green, black, or milk tea), kept warm with a small candle.

The vibe is very authentic to "lifestyle" cafes I've visited in Chongqing, which I loved, though some areas (like the restroom) felt a little run down. A major highlight is the free Hanfu try on! The Drinks: I definitely recommend the traditional teas over the milk teas. The Osmanthus Oolong teapot was my fave, it was fragrant and good quality. In contrast, the Jasmine Milk Tea lacked a bold floral punch. The desserts are rly cute and very instagrammable but the flavors are fairly average Jasmine Mousse Flower: beautiful to look at but also tasteless Bunny Pudding: Very nostalgic! It tasted just like the White Rabbit candy Mochi Set: Decent, but the cream cheese flavor was a bit too dominant in the filling Come here for the photos, the Hanfu experience, and the hot tea, but don't have high expectations for the food!

Money Cake is a wheel cake stall inside Tangram mall in Flushing, and it is the kind of stop that…read morefits naturally into a day of eating around the area. I walked up to the stall and watched the cakes being made fresh in front of me, which is part of the appeal. The process was genuinely satisfying to watch. At around four to five dollars a piece, the price point is easy to justify, and the portions are filling enough that one cake makes for a solid snack. The custard filling is the standout and the one I ordered first. It came out warm and creamy with a crispy exterior that held up well fresh off the iron. The matcha is another strong option if you want something with a little more character, and the red bean is a reliable classic that does not disappoint. As a destination on its own, it is not something I would make a special trip for, but as part of a broader Flushing outing or a stop after a meal at Tangram, it is a fun and satisfying addition to the day.

Seriously, nobody needs to be listening to Usher this loud in the morning. Anywho, I'm glad we're finally embracing heterogeneity in Chinese tarts cause the same flavors were getting boring af. I could list out all of them but I'd rather talk about their LEMON BLAST. I'm just an iced tea lemonade guy, I like to finally have an option in Flushing that isn't bubble tea. Before this it was lemonades at Starbucks... I know, I'm a basic bitch.
