    First time here! We'd heard so much about this place and really wanted to try these desserts for ourselves. We came right around opening and there were already quite a few people, but thankfully no line. Everything was still available, so we got the strawberry, mango, and lemon desserts, plus a box of ice cream. We tried the lemon one there - and it was really good! The center is super runny, though, so be careful because it can get messy fast The strawberry was definitely my favorite - such an interesting combination with a really bright strawberry flavor. The mango was good too, but I probably should have gone with a different fruit. The ice cream was honestly a 5/10 for me. You can find similar, or even better, ice cream at a dollar store, so I'd skip that The strawberry lemonade, on the other hand, was SO good! Not too sweet, with a nice tart flavor. Definitely recommend it! The café itself was clean, cute, and welcoming, and the staff was friendly. Would I come back? Probably not. I think these desserts are more of a trendy experience that everyone should try at least once. I'm glad we did, and the quality here is definitely great - I just don't think I'm going to become a fan of this type of dessert.

    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!

    Peach and Berry cube.
    Joyce N.

    For almost $30 small desserts, I was disappointed. The peach didn't have a lot of flavor and wouldn't recommend. Berry cube had old strawberries and some gray spots on the cube, but the flavor was fine. I liked the flavor combination of the berry cube!

    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!

    cakes
    Wendy C.

    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.

    Mango
    Michelle G.

    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.

    All the desserts in stock
    Sophia X.

    I got my man go and it tasted fantastic. The mouse was amazing and paired perfectly with the fresh mango chunks. The whole vibe of the store was calm and I loved the asthetic. The people were so nice but I didn't get to see Catherine but other then that everything was amazing. I think that it was a bit expensive because I spent $ 90 on 6 desserts.

    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.

    my man go
    Sharon L.

    Incredibly expensive for the lack of proper technique. I think perhaps the wave of social media hype may have temporarily overwhelmed the team, or maybe the new hires weren't trained long enough to put out consistent work. They seemed kind of confused. My Man Go: 2/10. A trompe l'œil pastry designed to look like a mango, filled with fresh mango, mango mousse, and sitting atop a hazelnut praline cookie. For starters, the chocolate shell was soft and lacked the crispness of properly tempered chocolate. Either that, or it had started melting due to improper temperature regulation in the case. The fresh mango was overripe and had no texture; the mousse was similarly made of overripe mango and was room temperature. The praline was not made properly, and had zero structure. I don't really understand how all of these things can be true when it appears as though the pastries are sitting in a refrigerated case. What a waste of mango. Interior was standard, no decorations. TVs playing Tik Tok reviews. Tables were all dirty, probably because of the lack of structural integrity of the pastries.

    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.

    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?

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!

I could have eaten the whole thing myself.
