We walked into a space that feels designed for groups, with plenty of seating and a menu built around shareable desserts. The interior has a contemporary, stylish feel with comfortable seating arrangements that accommodate both small groups and larger parties, making it the type of place where you can come after dinner and spend time trying a few different things instead of just ordering one dessert. The energy is lively and social, with groups gathered around large dessert plates and the hum of conversation filling the room. The bingsu is the main attraction here, especially the mango sticky rice bingsu and volcano-style creations. We ordered the mango sticky rice version and found the shaved ice had that soft, fluffy texture that melts quickly, creating a light, refreshing base that absorbs the toppings well. The combination of sweet mango, coconut rice, and the fine ice created a nice balance of fruity sweetness and the familiar coconut flavor, and the toppings were generous enough that each bite felt complete. The volcano-style creations add a dramatic presentation, with toppings cascading over the ice and creating layers of texture and flavor that make the dessert feel more like an experience than just a bowl of ice. The crepe cakes are also worth trying, with lighter layers that make them easier to enjoy without feeling overly heavy, and the matcha and strawberry flavors stood out for their clean, well-balanced profiles. The portions are definitely on the larger side, so this is a better place to share. We found that splitting a few desserts across the table allowed us to try more of the menu without overcommitting, and the variety of options from bingsu to honey toast and lava-style desserts meant there was something for everyone. The honey toast is a fun choice if you want something warm and more indulgent, with a crisp exterior and a soft, buttery interior that pairs well with the ice cream and toppings. Some desserts can feel a little expensive depending on what you order, but the presentation and variety make it more of a dessert outing than a quick snack, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board. Service can be a little slower when it gets busy, especially later at night when the shop fills up, but the staff are generally friendly and the atmosphere makes it easy to wait. We noticed the team handling the steady flow with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal stayed comfortable even when the restaurant was full. The energy of the room remains social and relaxed, and the staff checked in at the right moments without rushing us through the meal. U:Dessert Story is a solid spot for creative Asian desserts, especially if you are going with friends and want to try a few different flavors together. The combination of shareable portions, thoughtful presentation, and a lively atmosphere makes it a destination for a more social dessert experience, offering a meal that feels both indulgent and communal. The variety across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the desserts keeps the experience feeling intentional and satisfying.

What a surprise finding a Gelato shop owned by a friendly French owner in HMB. Jean-Paul Gulino…read morespent vacation in Italy and was such a fan of Gelatos he went to a culinary school and specialized in Gelato in Bologna, Italy and trained with a french pastry Chef to learn the craft. It's crazy to open a gelato shop somewhere so cold and gloomy and its a testament to how good their gelato is. Parking is in the DT area of HMB so it can be challenging to get a spot. There is plenty of seating outside and the interior has a bright orange wall that has the colors also carry over to the chairs that are outside. Inside is small but ifs perfect for getting your gelato and then moving outside to eat. Vanilla Bean: Much more deep in vanilla flavor than grovery store ice cream. Nice texture and color, my wife and I enjoyed this one. Stracciatella: A variety of gelato with fine strands of drizzled chocolate stirred throughout. Great eye appeal and flavor, good quality chocolate was used.

One of the rudest customer service experiences I've had in a long time…read more As a 5'3" woman, I was simply trying to see the gelato flavors through the glass when an employee abruptly told me not to lean on it. I wasn't leaning on the case at all--I was just trying to see the flavors. He was rude and condescending. I was then told by another employee there were no samples, so I had to choose a flavor without tasting it. After paying nearly $8 for a small scoop of gelato in a cup with a cone on top, I stepped to the side after paying to put the gelato into the cone myself. Even though I was completely out of the way and bothering no one, I was immediately told I had to do it outside. The worst part was the attitude. Every one of the three employees I interacted with was rude, unfriendly, and seemed annoyed by customers. From start to finish, I felt like I was being scolded rather than served. For premium-priced gelato, I expected at least basic courtesy. Instead, I got poor service, unnecessary rules, and an atmosphere that made me feel unwelcome. There are plenty of places that appreciate their customers--this is not one of them.

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.
