    Dessert hit the spot! They have a few choices to choose from! We ordered Taro Ball & Grass Jelly Bliss and Taro Coconut Sago! Drinks: 2 Creme Brulee Pearl Milk Tea. Recommended 70% sweetness. There's 3 small tables inside and a bench. Will definitely come back and try the rest!

    Delicious Chinese desserts spot that lives up to the "not too sweet" title that Asians lovingly bestow upon desserts. I ordered the watermelon coconut and peach gum milk tea, and my friend ordered the taro coconut sago. We were lucky enough to snag the very limited seating indoors! The line to get to the kiosk is daunting, but definitely moves a bit quicker. I would wager that we got the three items we ordered within 20-30 minutes at night. The watermelon coconut was light and refreshing, the coconut milk was a nice liquid base for the fruits and qq toppings. The peach gum milk tea had a good texture to it that was not too thick, but not too watery/still differentiated from a regular milk tea beverage.

    I heard about this spot a while ago and finally braved the line for it. It looks like another meet fresh. We got the one with peach gum which was the more signature. I'm going to be honest it tasted pretty healthy haha which I guess isn't a bad thing. I do enjoy how meet fresh has the flavored ice which is why I say this is definitely a healthier option. If there's no line I would come back again to order and try the other items. What's nice is the outdoor seating but it's limited.

    I should have listened to my friend who said this place was alright. My husband was not thrilled to line up for this place and he was right. We came here during 4th of July weekend during their BOGO offer but didn't realize it was only for To-Go orders only. We came 2 hrs before closing and by the time we ordered, each dessert was out of an element. Ordering is only 1 kiosk and seating inside was dirty and sticky. Customer service wasn't attentive and the desserts were lackluster, we didn't enjoy a single one. I liked that they had oat milk alternatives but everything was super bland. I wouldn't come back. Fruit was also sour and nothing as executed well.

    I attended the first day of their grand opening and waited close to 2 hours from start to end. Typically I give grace because it's a grand opening and I fully expect there to be a wait but 2 hours was just insane. They only had one kiosk to order from which was why the lines were moving really slow. It took about 1 hour 15 mins to order and another 40 mins to get our desserts. We got the BOGO peach gum milk tea and BOGO mango snow black sticky rice. The milk tea was watered down but had a strong jasmine tea flavor. The dessert was surprisingly really good. Mangoes were sweet and it came with a side of vanilla ice cream and black sticky rice on top of the shaved ice. Everything paired well together and was refreshing. It's a bit pricey but I would consider coming back to get the dessert again.

    It's on Castro located near the train tracks, next to Asian Box and Oren's Hummus, sharing space with a hot pot restaurant. However, reading the sign, it seems customers have no restroom access, which is a concern. You line up outdoor and scan code to read the menu. When you reach the entrance, there's an ordering kiosk and you place your order there. Given the limited seating space (2 2 seaters and 1 3 seaters), most orders are to go. As we got lucky and got a table, we enjoyed our to go order inside and noticed that dine in portions seem to be bigger than take out. We tried Peach Gum Resin and Lotus Seeds Fresh Milk and Taro Black Sticky Rice Mochi Fresh Milk. Both can be without ice but you cannot alter anything else. We both like the Peach Gum more, better texture and I felt healthier. The line can get long as the evening comes. We waited less than 20 mins when we lined up at 7, but by 8pm, the line was three times longer and reached middle of the street. It wasn't too long a wait to get to pick up our order, so they seemed to be efficient in packing food.

    Makkee Dessert is a traditional Hong Kong-style desserts with a modern touch. The menu has plenty of variety, from silky tofu pudding and sago desserts to mango-based specialties, so there's something for every sweet tooth. The desserts weren't overly sweet but honestly nothing really stood out to me here! The prices were high for the amount you were getting and the line was so long. The interior is small and only 3 seats inside. The seats are mainly outdoor but you barely can find any. I wasn't please on how long I had to wait as I came with a super big party. Honestly head to Cupertino for better Asian desserts that aren't overly hyped and generic. .

    Makkee Desserts is the definition of "not too sweet" which is a compliment in the Asian community. Their ingredients taste fresh, not too sweet, yet flavorful. The price for their desserts is definitely on the higher end but quality is good and portions are not big but acceptable. They are a small shop where they share half of first floor store with the hotpot restaurant that is two stories tall. Makkee Dessert has one kiosk outside of their shop right at the entrance where you order. Most of their seating is outdoors but there are also 3 small tables inside the store to dine in. There is a monitor where you can track when your order is ready for pickup. The two desserts we ate at the shop were the Taro Black Sticky Rice Mochi Fresh Milk ($11.99) and the Taro Paste Snow Black Sticky Rice ($11.99). Both were delicious! For to go desserts, we got two of the Makkee Deluxe (Warm) ($11.99 each) and was told it was also delicious. Food was nicely packaged. The female worker who called out my order number was polite and friendly. Overall we had a great experience here. Just wish there were more indoor seating but everything else was great!

    It's finally here! Had Makkee in SoCal in the past and I'm glad the refreshing Asian dessert sensation is finally in the Bay Area! Be prepared for long lines, especially in the beginning. The staff is fast and efficient but there is only one ordering kiosk which significantly slows things down. The location is small but beautifully decorated. There is outdoor seating and you can obviously order the refreshing desserts to go! The desserts were incredibly fresh, especially the mango which was perfectly (not too) sweet and juicy. Everything we tried was delicious and refreshing, especially in the strong summer heat. They even have cassava (木薯) which is usually hard to find. If you are craving Guangdong style Asian desserts and the line isn't too long, you should definitely check it out!

    Long line (1 hr), and pretty long wait (20 min) after ordering. I had a book that I've been trying to finish, so this was a good opportunity for me to chill and read in line. I don't understand why the order would take so long to make though. It looks like all they'd had to do is scoop the ingredients in. Most orders do not have ice, just milk. The ingredients (grass jelly, red bean, etc) were pretty good. Taro ball was just okay. Milk was good, I just wish they have a shave iced version. People keep comparing this to meet fresh, but besides them both having good grass jelly and taro balls, I don't think they're the same.

    I had quite high expectations for this place but it really felt a bit underwhelming. When we got there, there was barely a line but it forms quickly because there is only 1 kiosk to order from and some people take their time. That also means that your order comes out quite quick, in less than 5 minutes. We got the Makkee Deluxe ($11.99) and the Mango Sago ($11.99). The portions were a bit smaller than I expected for the price. The Makkee Deluxe was kind of lukewarm and not cold like you would expect it to be. The toppings were good in terms of texture and taste, and the dessert is not too sweet, which is typical of asian desserts. The Mango Sago had some icey portions, which was a bit odd for mango sago. It tasted good, though it's hard to mess up mango sago. Overall, I felt like the desserts had some flaws but did taste good if you overlooked them. However, it did not feel like anything special compared to other dessert shops that make similar desserts.

    Lots of options for Chinese desserts to choose from. Came on a Thursday night, and there wasn't much of a line at the kiosk, though seating was full. We were able to find a spot off to the side. The desserts weren't overly sweet, and the fresh mango flavor really stood out. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    Outside restaurant is the ordering kiosk.

    After hearing rave reviews about Makkee from my Chinese friend, I knew I had to try it! There was a long line to order since the only way to order is on a single kiosk outside the front door. Once you order, your desserts take less than 5 minutes to be ready. We decided to try the Mango Black Rice Dessert & the Taro Tapioca Dessert with Oat Milk. Both were delicious in different ways! If you prefer a sweeter dessert, get the Mango Black Rice Dessert! It was much sweeter since it includes ice cream and chunks of mango. This one was my friend's favorite! If you prefer a less sweet or "not too sweet dessert", then the Taro Tapioca Dessert with Oat Milk was so yummy! The sago and the taro balls were so chewy and delicious! This one was my favorite!!

Their 100% pistachio cake is amazing - not too sweet and the pistachio flavor really comes through but doesn't overpower. Very creamy texture that isn't too heavy and has a fun, crunchy outer shell. The matcha raspberry is also nice and balanced - matcha flavor complements well with the raspberry gel / jam inside and is mellowed out by the cream. Inside is very chic and great place to chat and catch up over a cup of coffee and even get some work done - water station and wifi is inside.

My family and I stopped by Marvel Cake during Mother's Day for a sweet treat on Sunday. This location is in the strip of Downtown Palo Alto and has limited parking (similar to the rest of the stores there, there is a lot of parking, and you will need to get lucky). My mom does like the Marvel Cake in their first location, so we swung by here to try this one out! Location-wise, this is a smaller shop than the original one in West San Jose with limited seating inside. I would say it's not work from home friendly however, I did see a college student next to me on her laptop so maybe I am incorrect here! The interior is nice and light, matching the elegance of the desserts. We ordered three items on the menu: the pillow cake, the bisou, and the blueberry lavender roll. Here are some thoughts: * Pillowcase cake: It may seem like this would be a fluffy cake due to the nature of its shape, but it is a gelatinous Jell-O cake with fruit jam. It was not bad, and tasted refreshing and light. I didn't know if I liked it at first, but ultimately I did come back for seconds and thirds, so this is approved. * Blueberry lavender roll cake: This was not at all what we were expecting. I did not taste any lavender, nor did it have a strong blueberry flavor. I think what threw our party off was the layer of gelatin that surrounded the cake. Texturally, we were not a big fan. * Bisou: This one was our favorite one. I appreciated the nutty crust in the bottom layer of the cake, while the filling was soft and bouncy. It is very sweet, however, but overall, I really enjoyed this one and feel like it would go great with a cup of coffee. What made the experience here a 3 instead of a 4 or 5 was the service we got. We weren't greeted when we came in, which, to be fair, is totally fine, maybe they were busy. However, the person helping us stared at us the whole time and did not really communicate well with us. When I tried to order the cakes for my family, they looked bothered that we were there, and I was not sure if they understood what pastries I was ordering because they did not repeat it back to us at all or confirm anything. When I did place the order, they slowly grabbed the plates and looked visually confused, which again, if they wanted to, I could have repeated it back to them. After they gathered everything, they put it in front of us and rang me up. The whole time, they did not say a word to me at all. Did not reconfirm anything, did not acknowledge we were there, did not say thank you. It was a bit strange, and I had to check with my family if it was me or if that was a really weird experience (it wasn't me).

They offer a variety of drinks, from lattes to milk teas to shakes. Some of my favorites include the Mocha Latte and Ube Milk Tea. The only disappointment was the Mermaid, but I'm not a green tea drinker so maybe it's just not my taste. The drinks lean sweet, so for those who prefer less sugar than me (i.e. most people), you should adjust accordingly. Meanwhile, the desserts are just as diverse and delicious. I enjoyed the Ube Cashew Brownie and Milo Cupcake, but would recommend the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake for your first visit. One trend across their offerings is the use of Filipino flavors like ube, Milo, and sweet corn. It makes them stand out in the crowded cafe & boba market. On the other aspects.. the store itself isn't too big but is well-decorated. There's not much seating so most will just order to-go. The service is usually quick so that's not an issue. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Café 86, as I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like.
