Searching down the map for the drive back from LA, saw this interesting thing. And great reviews from others sealed the deal to try it out. Online ordering with pick up time was very convenient. Driving down, got a text about 5 min before pick up time, just perfect. Cute and super clean store. Friendly gal grabbed the order for me and I was off in no time. Got the party pack (30) for the school staff, and of course had to try for myself too with a regular (9). Ended up being an hour and a half before I got around to trying our box of 9. Looked interesting enough. Kid took his bite and said yum. I took mine to the sink (lol) to catch any crumbs, but surprised me that it's not just a ball of a regular donut. This had an amazingly satisfying crispy crunchy exterior, with an airy chewy interior! I can't imagine how much better it would be when freshly made at the store! Even an hour and a half later was delicious... Me and the kid quickly devoured our 3 each and struggled to leave 3 for wife before we had to go to an activity. When we returned, wife was also raving, what was that, where did you get it? Trust me, you will not be able to eat just one. I'm greedy, I definitely want more than 3 next time! Donut ball itself wasn't overly sweet, just delicious period. I guess it's the toppings that add the sweetness. Only tried the classic (honey cinnamon, walnut). The other flavors will probably be amazing desserts, but I think all I need is just the donut ball by itself. Honey and walnut adds a bit of sweetness and bite, but the base donut ball is a shining star on it's own in my book! Good thing was the honey was mostly on the bottom and walnut crumbles on top, so you can rub as much or not of those as it fits you. Few days later, each of us were still talking about this greek donut. Just looking for a reason to grab this again. Father's day is coming up, I think it's time for a Party!

Tried a couple flavor of donut hole options they have, pretty interesting and good variety of…read moreoptions they have. Good spot to get a light dessert together, good hours iirc. Chose this due to location and suit the occasion, recommend for that, not something I would go out of my way for unless something stood out on the menu - for me this is because I'm not a super sweets person or rather, my taste is picky since a lot of things I'm pretty ambivalent about like dark chocolate and like 30-60% of cakes I will not care to eat to give you a background on my taste profile - like savory/meat to add another context for my opinion/taste

I stopped by Archives of Us and decided to branch out from my usual order and try a good variety of…read moretheir menu. I ordered the Orange Mint Latte, Matcha Sparkling Lemonade, Einspanner White, Hibiscus Mint Sparkling Lemonade, and of course, a cortado. I also tried their Wagyu Sliders. Every drink was fantastic. What I really enjoyed was how different each one was from the next. It didn't feel like I was ordering variations of the same drink -- each had its own flavor profile, presentation, and unique touch. The Orange Mint Latte was especially interesting, and both sparkling lemonades were refreshing and completely different from what I would normally order. The Einspanner White was another standout. Overall, it was a really fun variety to try at once. The cortado was also very good. It had a nice flavor, smooth texture, and was easy to drink. Their approach is a little different from a traditional cortado presentation because the espresso and milk are fully integrated together rather than finished with latte art. I actually appreciate that style when it's executed well because the focus is more on getting the espresso and milk completely incorporated into one cohesive drink. The presentation across the entire order was also really well done. You can tell there's thought behind how everything is served and put together, which adds to the overall experience. The Wagyu Sliders were great as well. I think the food side of Archives of Us deserves more attention because they have some genuinely good food options to go along with the drinks rather than the food feeling like an afterthought. The space itself is beautifully designed with plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor seating area. I love the overall atmosphere and aesthetic -- there are certain details about the design, presentation, and experience that remind me of coffee shops I've visited in Japan. The staff made the experience even better. Everyone was extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. Overall, Archives of Us has a lot going for it. A beautiful space, great service, thoughtful presentation, a strong variety of drinks, solid coffee, and food worth trying as well. It's especially nice to find a coffee shop where I actually want to explore the menu beyond my usual cortado. Definitely the type of place I could see myself coming back to once a week.

They do not serve cold brew but the Einspanner Black does the charm for me. Their matcha is also good as it is not too sweet nor too bitter. The fan favorite is the Wagyu slider. I personally like the egg salad one more since I am not a meat on meat person but the bacon wagyu slider is better. I would say this place is the better version of Community Goods and does not have as long of a wait. Note - kitchen food is not served until 9:30AM so if you're an early riser or trying to get in and out, you will be out of luck. Parking - the main parking Is the underground structure which could be found on North Broadway. Parking can be quite pricey if you're there longer than an hour.

I really do like the food they sell and would heavily suggest it getting a bit of everything. I like the papas locas with both BBQ sauce and chipotle sauce, you just ask for that modification and it's super fire. With those fries you got to get an agua Fresca, can't go wrong with the horchata but the strawberry lemonade with mango is good if you don't want something milk based. You can really mix any of the flavors and modify the menu a good amount. The staff is pretty cool too, and recently the owners have been having more small events. They got some good deals from Monday through Thursday. I always stop by to get the $5 hot dogs on Wednesday and the BOGO aguas frescas on Thursday. I don't really go on Tuesdays too often but once in a while I will. They got $1.5 filled churros on Tuesdays. I usually stick with the Nutella, dulce de Leche, and the lechera, although the other options aren't bad either. Overall I would heavily suggest this spot to everyone.

I just discovered the ultimate hidden gem in LA's Cantonese dessert scene! Nine Square Dessert is genuinely mind-blowing--every single bite completely blows my mind! Signature Fresh Coconut Jelly I cannot recommend this enough! It is absolute perfection! Smooth and silky on the tongue, with a texture so impossibly rich and velvety it feels like coconut-flavored panna cotta! The sweetness is super restrained, letting the pure, intense natural coconut flavor shine through.

Mango Pomelo Sago The ultimate classic Cantonese dessert, and they nailed it! The mango puree is so silky and smooth that the moment you bite into it, an explosion of intense mango flavor bursts in your mouth with zero fiber--just pure, velvety perfection. The juicy pomelo sacs are the absolute star, perfectly balancing the mango's sweetness while elevating both flavors into a magical synergy. It is SO juicy!! I was completely lost in dessert heaven! If you love Cantonese desserts, go check it out with your eyes closed. These three are absolute must-orders--you'll be thanking me later! A Little Bonus: What touched me wasn't just the amazing desserts.

For anyone getting off work, walking in here feels like being wrapped in a warm embrace by a friendly stranger. One bowl of this dessert brings sweetness to your tongue and warmth to your heart, instantly washing away all that workday burnout~

I read some great reviews for Jiu Ji Dessert on Yelp. I have been in the Alhambra area regularly…read more Thought I swing on by to check out the dessert hype. It's a cute and cozy dessert shop located on Valley Blvd within the Valley Square shopping center. Parking is kinda plenty. If they get full, you can park right next door where 168 Supermarket is at and walk on over. They have a humongous parking lot. It's a walk up, order, pay, choose your table/seat, and sit/wait for the dessert(s) establishment. There were about 8 tables of 4 each. Restrooms are available in the back of the shop. Sweet nice young lady at the counter took my order. Since it was my first time here, I had to get their Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup for $10 and Mango Pomelo Sago Drink for $7. I could have gotten the latter as a dessert... I'll get it that way next time. Prices are reasonable. Service was great. Wait time was a tad slow though. Lots of good quality and fresh ingredients in the dessert soup which I loved. Overall taste was wonderful. One small gripe, it wasn't cold or hot just room temperature. It wasn't sweet either which was surprising to me. I would have preferred a bit more sweetness. Size could have been a bit larger for the price. Mango pomelo sago drink was delicious! Two thumbs up!! While I was enjoying my dessert, there was nice Tawianese and Hispanic music playing in the background. Good vibes! Despite of my gripe, I still ordered one Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup to-go for my Mom to try. The lady staff offered to give a small container of condensed milk to provide some sweetness. Thank you Miss! My Mom enjoyed it very much. It's definitely a top notch dessert spot for anyone who is craving authentic traditional Chinese desserts and drinks. Dessert hype confirmed. I'll definitely be back to try their other desserts and drinks. Can't wait!
