    Pretty relaxed ambiance. Plenty of seating available and the food comes out in about 7-9 min.

    Authentic HK mango pancake

    Came all the way from San Antonio to get some Hui Lau Shan. So thankful can have it in Austin to bring back my Hong Kong childhood memory. The HK mango pancake is a must try. All the desserts and drinks are amazing as always.

    Mango Coconut Sago

    I was craving a mango dessert drink and Hui Lau Shan popped up in my head so here I am. I got the Mango & Coconut with Sago and it was a blended drink. Even though mango is out of season, the drink was still really good and refreshing, no sourness at all. My friend got the Mango Swirl and he was alright with it, he said it's just mango smoothie but he wished he added toppings to it. The prices for the drinks are pretty cheap, between $6-7. I loved the Hui Lau Shan in Houston and this location in Austin tasted exactly like it, maybe even better.

    They posted a notice saying that mangos are not in season, but they were still really sweet. I love how creative they got with mango. It's my favorite fruit. This was a delightful little place to get dessert after dinner and a really cute spot to eat in. The only thing is we didn't love the crisps, but everything else was great.

    Came here to try some mango Asian dessert and it was pretty good. The dessert depends a lot on whether or not the mango is ripe and sweet. I got the mango triple delight which was mango, coconut and black glutenous rice. The combo together was unexpectedly good though I wish it was a tad sweeter. This is definitely not one of my favorite dessert places but a good option to try on days I want a more fruit based dessert. They're definitely good at what they offer. It's also a nice place you to hang out with friends much like a boba tea shop. In fact, they also offer a lot of mango boba tea like drinks.

    I had heard of this place that makes desserts using mangos. Thought I would check them out and see what the hype is. It's a small side street. There is street parking. I did notice they open at noon. And I had arrived right at 11:56pm so I waited a few minutes until they opened. After looking over the menu I decided on the mango ice cream in a bubble waffle cone. The bubble waffle is made fresh. It's pretty large in size. The mango ice cream is good. It's creamy and tastes like mango. There is also small bite size chunks of mango as well. There is also these clear jelly clumps. They sort of had a coconut flavor. They were chewy and clear, and totally foreign to me. But they were good. I thought it was a nice dessert. And it wasn't that expensive for the amount you get. $8.50 Cute little dinning area with table and chairs. After I had sat down a group of people came in. Another small group came with their laptops. So it is a busy place first thing in the afternoon on a Monday. They do offer free WiFi.

    My friend and I met at 6:30 pm on a Thursday night and the shop was empty when we went in, but by the time we paid and got our orders people started rolling in. Our deserts came out fast; I tried a mango sago and it was delicious. The serving size for the price is reasonable. Despite the mangos not being in season, they were still sweet and ripe. The shop was bright, airy and clean. There were a variety of tables to sit at, and even an outdoor picnic table. Remember to put in your phone number into the table when you order so you can earn points to their rewards program! I also ordered a black sesame soup before I left and they gave me the option to get it hot or cold. I opted in for a hot one, so although there was a little bit of a wait to warm up the soup, it was well worth the wait! I will be back for when I am craving a sweet treat!

    The server dropped my drink at the start but it's okay because none spilled and she looked sorry. The drink was really good in the end and I loved it. I also had a durian item I didn't really like it but I could tell if I liked durian I would've enjoyed it a lot.

    I got mango toppings on coconut jelly base. It was very refreshing and delicious. The mangos are not in seasons so it's not super sweet. They should have seasonal menu instead of relying heavily on mangos

    Mango romance & mango coconut duo mix
    Nancy G.

    I am a huge mango lover, but unfortunately the mango did not deliver. :( The mango romance had 3 different smaller size desserts and I think it would've been so much better if the mango, which is the main star, was actually ripe. It was so sour and hard, which made me not want to keep eating it. 2/5 The best dessert of all was the mango coconut duo mix, it had black rice at the bottom which reminded me of mango sticky rice, but its own flavor to it. It would've been so much better with good mango. 4/5 Overall, nice location, parking is found on the street or behind the parking garage. Decent seating area, friendly staff! :)

    We went around 8:45 pm and just about everything was not available. "Sold out" was the actual wording. Even so the family still had some available choices. My daughter had the mango romance and mango bowls with taro chewy balls and coconut noodles. Will try another time. However, not in Texas but in pasadena, California

    jumbo chewy balls, and mango pudding
    Alisa D.

    Stopped by after visiting the restaurant next door. I love mango and they had amazing options for dessert. we got the Jumbo Chewy Ball and Mango pudding. Both were really delicious and smelled great. the only thing is the actual chewing balls were eh. but everything else was amazing and fast service. It was nicely decorated too!

    Hui Lau Shan is easily in my top three dessert spots in Austin, and it's almost entirely because of one item: the black rice in coconut pudding. I've never had a dessert like it anywhere else in Austin. It's not overly sweet, but incredibly addictive! It's the main reason I keep coming back. The interior is bright and nice, though the chairs are way too low for the tables. Cleanliness can vary depending on how busy it gets, but service is good and I never wait too long for my order. There really isn't another spot like Hui Lau Shan in Austin. For unique desserts alone, this place is a must-try. 10/10 dessert spot for me!!

I got the Matcha-Cha off the seasonal menu, which had a great balance of matcha flavor and lightly sweet strawberry ice cream. The roasted walnuts added a really nice break in texture, which I loved. My husband ordered the Campfire with added ice cream, which was rich and very chocolaty. The charred marshmallow on top was a great touch and made it extra indulgent. Overall, a great late night dessert stop with solid flavors and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out when you're craving something sweet!

The outside is a little boring, but the interior is dressed up a bit with a chandelier and bright shiny display cases full of baklava and other desserts. The employee offered us a free sample, which was a good start. I may be guilty of falling for the "Dubai Chocolate" trend, but I chose a few pieces of baklava that had chocolate pistachio flavor profiles. I also took a risk on a nest shaped pastry filled with lemon filling, and I think it was my favorite of them all! They have tables where you can eat your treats there, and wash your hands afterwards, which is important because there's almost no way to do it without getting sticky fingers. I ate two pieces there, and saved two more for the evening, which was a lot for one day, but it was sure a treat!

Constantly had to refer to "calling her" dad to get information. Multiple things on the menu were not even available. Very "Mom and pop" and below average. Treated like it was a business someone's running out of their garage. Very unprofessional in 2026 in the city of Austin. Your menu doesn't even match what you really have? Customers can't rely on what they see online -- or even the in-store menu. That's disingenuous. We won't be back. Very disappointing.

We kept it simple -- fish cone with nutella and ube soft serve. We had the option of swirling it with a milk tea ice cream but it had a little bit of caffeine so no good. Glad the choice was made for us -- the ube was perfect on its own. Also happy we skipped the toppings since the creaminess really came through. They sell mochi donuts too -- they were pretty good but not as good as the ice cream. Parking is limited but we had no issue snagging a spot at 430pm on a Sunday. Only a few narrow spots outside (no official lot). Full disclosure -- both my daughter and I had tummy aches after eating this ice cream and you know what? I have zero regrets! It was that good.

Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic.

Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers.

When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.
