    Strawberry

    Beautifully crafted desserts Came today for their special plushie combos -- buy the dessert and get the matching plushie or charm Items are almost too pretty to eat But what a unique experience It's so light and fresh A little dream

    Over priced yes but good yes. If you want high quality hand made Asia treats come here. But you have to have the $$ as it cost so much.

    My friend and I got into LA the night before a concert and had some extra time, so we knew we absolutely had to make a stop at Tu Cha. We've seen all the viral fruit pastries online, and were so excited to try them. When we got in, we were able to see all of the options on display and they had a big menu telling you exactly what was in each one. You order off of a kiosk, which makes it incredibly easy to order. Almost all of our pastries were ready before we had even left the kiosk, which was great! I went with the mango and the peach, both of which were fantastic! The shortbread cookie underneath both was delicious, the mango mousse and filling tasted so fresh and amazing. The peach had an Earl Grey cream and fresh peach chunks as well. Both were in the classic white chocolate shell. These are so cute, fun to eat, very refreshing, and not overly sweet. The shop itself is adorable, plenty of seating, great decor and the staff was super friendly and very nice! These fruit pastries have absolutely gone viral, and there's many shops that do them, but Tu Cha is hands-down, the best!

    Mango Mousse
    Vivian T.

    I've been eyeing Tu Cha for a long time and the viral fruit desserts looked too pretty to eat! But first, don't even bother getting this to go on a hot day with an ice bag (extra .91 cents). Eat it there or in the car because it WILL melt! Even so, my reaction for the mango filling was underwhelming. The filling was just mango mousse with a few pieces of mango inside. My friends and I liked the outer chocolate shell and that was about it. The size of the mango was probably even smaller than I expected and for the price point, it was only worth trying it once. Sadly the Bing Chillin Bites were also sold out too, but I most likely won't be coming back to the location just to get them!

    Lemon (so so runny, you miss the full flavor)

    Trenched through traffic with my fam to try this place out! It is nestled between large buildings on a busy street with enough parking (you may have to cross a street after finding a spot). What I loved: Dubai dream cake! Hands down worth the drive, it's the best dessert option they have. Creamy balanced flavors, well layered, and with a texture that is irresistibly fun to eat. I love the heart container. We bought almost all of every piece dessert except for two along with the ice cream bites. Needless to say, we were not impressed. Each pastry had the same lingering aftertaste which was odd, the fresh strawberry topping was old, the gelatin like texture did not complement the watery centers, and the outside chocolate shell had no flavor. Of course, if you like these details of texture, you may dig it! Just definitely not for me. The ice cream bites resemble a frozen yogurt like texture and although I appreciate the all natural fruit product, the flavors didn't quite come through. The space inside is small, clean, and cozy. We weren't really warmly welcomed but did receive a kind goodbye after we picked up our order and had tipped generously. The Togo boxes could use improvement as they were so flimsy and hard to store in the fridge. The carry out bag is SO nice though. We're happy to have supported the business but will not drive out there again. Try your luck, it is fun to explore!

    Mango

    I was so dissatisfied with my visit. I got the mango and it literally fell apart. Had been to Altadena first and loved it, this doesn't compare. Tried 3- rasperry, mango and strawberry came to over $50. No it was not good. The mango fell apart and the middle ended up all down my shirt, it was not set. Worst $50 ever spent. I will not go back.

    I was excited to try the desserts here and didn't expect it to by super pricey. I got 3 cakes to try: mango, lemon, and strawberry, and the fruit ice cream. The presentation of the cakes do look nice however there was nothing special about the taste. It somewhat just tasted like mousse cake and it was underwhelming. The ice cream tasted a bit like plastic or wax. I would not get desserts from here due to the price and taste of the desserts. I would rather go elsewhere for cake/ice cream.

    If you're in Los Angeles, make a stop at Tucha. We tried their viral peach and mango cake, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. These trompe-l'œil pastries--French desserts designed to "deceive the eye" by looking like real fruit--are as impressive as they are delicious. Light, fresh, and perfectly balanced, with just the right touch of sweetness. We also had their matcha drink, which was just as good. A bit pricey, but worth the indulgence.

    Tried TU CHA this weekend after a day out in LA on a nice Friday. I have wanted to try the Erfurt desserts that went viral in Paris by Cedric golet. Los Angeles fruit desserts have many competitors but I was most excited to try TU CHA the most and they did not disappoint. The friends I took with me to try TU CHA were shocked at the high price as so was I but I believe the quality and beauty matched and my friends also respected the flavors and love put into the desserts. I will come back to try the rest of them. I also love that TU CHA is women owned and I love supporting women.

    Pretty but underwhelming
    Christine L.

    We've been wanting to try this place because of how beautiful the cakes look. We stopped by here to try it. We got the mango and the raspberry one. Both were underwhelming. Taste was too creamy with no prominent flavor. The texture melted almost as soon as you get into it. Although very pretty, didn't love it and would not come back.

    We had to try every flavor

    It's just tiktok hype, save the time and get dessert somewhere else What I ate: - Lemon shaped was probably the best of the flavors I tried. I also like the mango shaped one. The peach shaped and was forgettable Pros: - The cakes are very very cute and amazing to look at - Shop inside had a few tables. It seemed like most were just couples or a few friends sharing - Kiosk ordering do no need for human interaction if you don't want it Cons: - I really hated that the flavors did not match up to the cake shapes. I think I liked the lemon shaped one the best because it has the most citrusy passionfruit flavor. But when I break into the mango shaped cake, I expect a strong mango flavor. If the flavors were not going to match, I would've much rather like it if the cakes were in different shapes like a cute cartoonish animal, or smiley face, or a daisy. Some shape that I wouldn't associate with flavor - I also wasn't a huge fan of the flavor combos. I feel like they were really trying to go out there but often times the fruit flavors used didn't really match up with the tea or nut flavors. The flavors were not balanced at all, often just very muddled with one flavor either being too strong or not strong enough, or interfering with a fruits flavor. Some of the cakes were floral tasting from tea or almost slightly savory. The cakes are not sweet at all. Maybe I was just unlucky and tried the worst flavors. Again the lemon shaped one was the best because passionfruit flavor was sharp enough to cut through the other flavors - Parking is street and can be hit or miss - Expensive - I ordered a drink and I don't see it on the menu, or I just can't remember it. That's how different it was. I do remember thinking it was so sweet Would I go again? Absolutely not

    This place has been getting a lot of attention on tik tok. They make it look so good, I really have been wanting to try them. So today was my birthday and we were on vacation in Anaheim. We decided to end our trip and grab them on the way home. I got the lemon, the mango, the strawberry and the raspberry pastries. I also got one of their strawberry candles, and a brown sugar milk tea with boba. Presentation wise, everything was gorgeous, from the decor, the ambiance, the pastries. Really classy and clean. The staff were super sweet and helpful. It was quiet and they had lots of options. So my honest review. They were ok. I feel like they are a bit overhyped. I was really hoping for a whip cream and jelly filling. That's what the videos on tik tok make it look like. I also really hoped for that crunch when you first bite into it. Wasn't as crunch worthy as the videos lol. So the pastries were ok, I just felt they lacked the sweetness I was hoping for. The lemon one was not as lemon cheesecake as I imagined although that cookie on the bottom, perfection. The inside of the lemon one spilled out everywhere. Very watery. The mango one was pretty good but if I want a mango I'm just going to get a mango. I was hoping more for a mango custard or cake. So not really my favorite. The raspberry one was definitely raspberrying. Good but still lacked that sweetness I was craving. Last but not least my favorite was the chocolate strawberry. I think it had the perfect consistency and sweetness. I really enjoyed it. As for the milk tea. Eh. It also wasn't very sweet. The boba was pretty good. Fresh and chewy. The candle smells amazing, and has really cute wrapping. All in all it was worth the experience and I'm glad I got to try them. Would I get them again? Probably not but that isn't to say that it isn't worth trying.

    Bing chilling bites, devil fruit, my man go, expresso tiramisu latte, osmanthus oolong milk tea

    I give Tu Cha a 2.4/5. I saw this place randomly on google maps as a nearby cafe and was excited to try the cakes as they looked super cute. Unfortunately, I was a disappointed by the taste of the desserts. Parking was a little difficult as the location is under a residential complex. They have a nearby lot for free parking but the sign was so small, it was hard to notice until we were even at the store and saw the placard. We ended up parallel parking on the perpendicular street and walking to it. The store was quite busy for an afternoon and they had a good amount of seating spaces. We sat at one of them and requested the staff to clean the sticky table which happened quickly, which was nice. The interior was quite nice and modern. The digitial pos system made ordering easy. We ordered a variety of desserts and two drinks that amounted to around $60-70. It was pretty pricey and we understood the effort put into each dessert, but I wish the taste of the items also reflected the price point. The Bing chilling ice cream bites were pretty disappointing for $23. I had a slight expectation of them tasting natural and subtle but some of the ice creams were artifical tasting. The banana and peach especially tasted artifical and I did not like them. My tablemates thought the peach was okay. The strawberry one was my favorite but the others were alright or too artifical tasting. The smaller ones had too much chocolate to ice cream ratio (2:1). The devil fruit and the my man go cakes were alright. We knew there was a chocolate shell but everything overall was just way too much chocolate. Despite the gateau name, I wish there was actually cake in the dessert and not just all mousse and gelatin. There was just too much mousse and tart filling inside so the dessert tasted a little too gelatinous with the chocolate shell. Having some cake inside would've balanced things nicely so we thought the desserts were just alright. For ~$14 each dessert, I was left craving something better. The drinks were also alright. My friend thought the tiramisu latte was okay but my sister did not like the osmanthus oolong milk tea and thought it tasted watery. She expected it to taste more milky or tea-like for $7 a drink. Overall, Tu Cha was a little disappointing and we expected a little more because of the price. The desserts were really cute and Instagram worthy but tasted just okay. I know a lot of effort was put into these desserts and wish they tasted nicer but it just wasn't to our tastes.

    Yum!!!

    Ask the Community - Tu Cha

    Considering it's been a few months since the peak virality of the fruit-shaped pastries, do they still sell out fast? I'm only able to come at the end of the day at 7pm so I want to know what my selection will be, if there will even be anything left

    I went during the week after dinner (around 8pm) and they had nearly all the flavors still in stock, I think only ran out of 1?

    Do the desserts contain animal gelatin?

    How long can the fruit desserts last if I'm taking a 3 hour flight back home? Is it not recommended? My daughter has been wanting to try.

    It won't last since the inside contains ice cream and will melt by 3 hours time.

    Can we take the desserts to go if they are refrigerated?

    100% yes

    Where is the parking for this place? is it difficult to park? Will be traveling a long way want to be prepared!

    Hi! There’s a dedicated parking lot located at 2850 W 7th Street. It’s about a 2.5-minute walk from TuCha!

    Any gluten free options?

    I went to Damo around 2pm on a weekend, and the line was already starting to form out the door…read more Unfortunately, the line takes up a majority of the cafe space, along with the few sitting tables, so it was pretty difficult to find a spot to wait for my drink after ordering. The pickup area can also get blocked by the line or waiting area, which can make it a little awkward when you're trying to reach over someone to grab your drink. I ordered the Coconut Hojicha and the Matcha Einspanner. The Coconut Hojicha was refreshing, nutty, and definitely the standout of the two. It's such a fun twist on the typical matcha coconut drink, and I have to give Damo their flowers for creating something that feels unique. The Matcha Einspanner wasn't particularly stand-out compared to some of the other cafes in K-Town, but it was still a well-balanced drink with a nice mix of bitterness, sweetness, and creaminess. I can definitely see why so many people consider Damo one of their favorite cafes. Despite the crowded setup, the drinks are creative and thoughtfully done!

Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

So we decided to come here for coffee or tea and ended up having a really nice time. I used to come here quite often about four years ago. Back then, I really liked their Einspänner and ordered it several times. But the last time I came, I thought it was way too sweet, so I hadn't been back since. It had actually been a REALLY long time since I last visited. And when I used to come here four years ago, I always came in the morning or around lunchtime. Last night was my first time ever coming here at night. My friend told us that they are open until midnight, so that's why we decided to come here after dinner. I had heard that parking here can be a nightmare because there aren't enough parking spaces and people have a hard time finding a spot. But once again, my parking luck was AMAZING! A car pulled out right in front of me just as I arrived, so I was able to park very easily. Another friend arrived later than I did, and she said she couldn't find a parking spot at all. She drove around for quite a while looking for one before finally finding street parking. Last night, we also had some tiramisu, and since I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, I decided to have a caffeine-free ade instead of coffee or tea. It was a little sweet for my taste, but it was ok. We sat outside on the outdoor patio and talked and talked and talked. We had such a fun time together! However, it was actually pretty cold outside last night. I remember thinking that it felt surprisingly chilly. But what was even crazier was how FREEZING cold it was inside the café! They had the air conditioning turned up so high that both my friends and I felt like we were going to freeze to death. The restroom is inside, and I also went inside to get some water, so I mentioned to one of the male employees that it was freezing inside. He told me that they didn't feel cold at all because they were working, and that THEY were actually feeling really hot. I went back to our table and told my friends what he had said, and they were like, "WHAT?! We're freezing to death over here!" The parking lot here is actually pretty large, so I was wondering why it was so difficult to find a parking spot. Apparently, at night, the left side is the café, while on the right side there is a bar where people can drink and also play games. There was a huge line of people waiting outside the bar last night, so I'm guessing that's probably why the parking lot gets so crowded and it's hard to find a spot. It was also pretty chilly outside last night because of the low temperature, so one thing I wished they had on the outdoor patio was heaters. That would have made sitting outside much more comfortable on a cold night.

    Very good quality of drinks and shaved ice. The flavors were all natural and in the best way…read morepossible, no artificial flavors. I will definitely recommend this place, friendly service.

    Stopped by Anko for dessert and drinks and really enjoyed the overall experience. The café has a…read moremodern, minimal aesthetic with neutral décor and plenty of seating, making it a nice place to relax. Street parking can be a little difficult, but they do have a parking lot in the back, which makes it much easier. We ordered the Houjicha Marron Shaved Ice and the Iced Brown Sugar Miso Latte. The barista was super helpful with explaining what each drink was, didn't steer us in any direction though. The Houjicha shaved ice was the standout. Houjicha is a toasted green tea, and the flavor is a little difficult to describe--it has a warm, grainy, almost wheat-like taste that's very different from traditional green tea. At first, it can seem like an unusual flavor, but don't give up on it. Once you add the syrup they serve on the side and keep eating, it really grows on you. It somehow gets better with every bite, and before you know it, you can't stop eating it. The Iced Brown Sugar Miso Latte wasn't exactly what I was in the mood for, but it was still well made. It had a nice balance of umami and sweetness without either flavor overpowering the other. While it wasn't my personal favorite, I'd still recommend it if you're looking to try something a little different. Overall, Anko is a great spot if you're looking for unique Japanese-inspired desserts and drinks in a calm, beautifully designed space.

    Perfect double chip chocolate chip cookie!…read more I get why these cookies are so hyped up- perfectly gooey in the middle, not all the way fully baked in the middle, the chocolate chips were melty - I know people do "cheese pulls" but you can honestly do "chocolate pulls" with these cookies. Excited to try my rocky road cookie tonight.

    The Venice outlet used to be my go-to, but since I moved the Larchmont one was more accessible…read more Parking's always tricky and might require bit of extra walk when not available. It's relatively busy but the line moved swiftly. The Larchmont store was pretty lively with the crowded and colorful wall deco! It's pretty fun to see that they came up with more seasonal items lately and most of them nailed it well when they came to cookies. Previously the lemon one and the most recent was the Raspberry Pistachio which I was impressed by as I just fancied sweet and refreshing combo of white chocolate and raspberry. The pistachio added more texture to it for sure. Same as any Levain cookies, best enjoyed warm and fresh out of oven. The Cookie Milk Latte was actually the main reason bringing me here, yet I was bit let down by it as I was expecting more malty cookie flavor in the drink. I felt it tasted not much different to regular cream top latte with some cookie crumbles in it.

    Bottega Louie isn't certainly vibrant hotspot that shouldn't be missed for its food, drinks, pizzas…read moreand desserts. We stopped by, today, after dining nearby. This is the place to go even after dining in the area. We had the Tart Cherry Lime pie. It had a meringue topping that was very very sweet. But it was still very good and the 4" size as perfect for my guest and I to share. They have a 5% surcharge that was printed at the bottom of the menu. While it didn't affect what we ordered, to be frank, their menu items are a bit pricy. On the other hand the service is great, the surroundings very comforting and the dessert display is not be missed. They have inside dining, a sunlit back area and shaded outdoor dining by the street. There are pricy parking lots nearby and, with luck, street parking is available. The lot next to the restaurant charged $20 on a Sunday, although we found a spot on a nearby side street. A hint - double check the parking signs before street parking because tickets can be very expensive and tow away is in effect at select spots. Other than parking, Bottega Louie is the place to be.
