My friends surprised my fiancé and me with a birthday trip here to finally try the crepe cake because I've been wanting it forever, and it was such a fun experience. We all got the Thai tea crepe cake and it was so good. Definitely lived up to the hype. I also got the Thai tea, which was really good too. What made it even better was that one of my friends had secretly asked the staff if they could just bring our slices out with birthday candles, but they ended up going all out. They had the staff singing and played birthday music through the speakers. It was hilarious, unexpected, and honestly really sweet. It's a little pricey, but worth it for both the quality and the experience. There's plenty of indoor seating, the whole place has a really cool vibe inside, and we had such a great time. Definitely will be coming back :)

One of my go-to late night dessert spots in Berkeley. I really like coming here with friends when we want something sweet after dinner because the portions are pretty big and perfect for sharing. Their bingsu is honestly one of my favorites here it's shaved ice and it's super fluffy and creamy without feeling overly heavy. The presentation is also really cute and the desserts always come out looking so good. The service was fine overall The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the Thai tea lava toast. The flavor and sauce were good, but the toast itself was a little on the drier side and I wish it tasted a bit fresher. Overall though it's still one of my favorite late night dessert spots in the area.

My first visit and it was love at first bite. We stopped in toward the end of the day, so the wait was minimal which is always a win. The Mango Sticky Rice Bingsu easily earns top marks. A beautifully layered bowl of Korean snow ice topped with fresh mango, house-made crumble, sticky rice, mango purée, and a drizzle of condensed milk. The textures and flavors come together effortlessly; so light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Perfect for sharing, though you may not want to. The double fromage lychee cheesecake was pure bliss. Delicate, airy, and luxuriously creamy with a subtle lychee finish that keeps it feeling fresh. It strikes that rare balance of being rich without heaviness. Easily one of the better cheesecakes I've had in a while. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

My friends and I returned to U:Dessert Story after a couple of years since our last visit, and this time around somehow topped our last experience. We arrived late after dinner, but the cafe was still packed around 8 PM. We were fortunately able to be seated right away. We were celebrating a birthday, so we ordered a few different desserts to try - mango sticky rice bingsu, Japanese yuzu cheesecake, and chocolate truffle cake - with a couple of sparklers to mark the occasion. Minutes after we had placed our order, the server brought out our treats with much fanfare and a celebratory birthday song - and the whole restaurant joined in the singing and clapping. I've tried the mango sticky rice bingsu before - it was as tasty and refreshing as I remembered it. While decadent, the yuzu cheesecake was pleasantly tart and refreshing and paired well with the matcha ice cream. I tried a bite of the chocolate truffle cake - it was super decadent. The cafe continued to stay packed throughout the evening - the line even stretched out the door as we were leaving. I'm sure we'll be back to celebrate the next birthday soon.

Visited around 7pm on a Sunday evening. There's only street parking so I had to circle the block a few times to find a spot. Unfortunately that's pretty normal in Berkeley but if you're on foot, the location is pretty great! Once inside, we were quickly given a table and ordered through the QR code. There was a good variety of Asian inspired crepe cakes, bingsu options, and drinks! I was torn between ordering a dessert or a drink and opted for the Matcha chocolate lava cake ($16) since I wasn't planning on consuming everything and wasn't sure whether a drink could be packed to go. The atmosphere was pretty relaxing. A lot of tables were filled and the decor was welcoming. There seemed to be a lot of people doing pick up orders as well. It took about 15-20 minutes for my dessert to arrive which felt a bit long but it wasn't a huge issue. The presentation of the food was lovely and I was happy that the taste was great as well. Cutting into the cake released a surprise stream of both molten chocolate and matcha. I had thought it would only be chocolate and the addition of the matcha cut through the sweetness of the molten chocolate. The matcha taste was not gritty or bitter. The cake was warm, moist, and not overly sweet. I liked the inclusion of the strawberries as a palette cleanser. The only drawback is that the matcha ice cream itself was just sweet and lacked any matcha flavor. Overall, I would return! The food options are enticing and the atmosphere was great. We were there for about an hour and we never felt pressured to hurry up and leave. Many of the surrounding tables were there for a while as well. It's a great place to catch up with friends while enjoying a bite after dinner. I hope to try the Oolong Lychee float in the future.

Very cute place for tropical desserts! Just about every table was celebrating birthdays that evening. We enjoyed the desserts.

As someone who loves salted egg yolk, udessert is the only place who has created such a nice, unique salted egg yolk custard sauce with buttered toast. I love this dessert so much and I always crave it. The last time I came here I cried tears from how good it was LMAO Service was good. They serve the food pretty quickly for being so busy at night Ambiance is cute! Good spot for dates, family, and friends

Been coming to this place since COVID era. Always love the desserts, they taste as good as they look. Service us great. Ambiance is great and cozy. I always feel relaxed and NOT rushed so that is a plus. Will be back!

OK, waaaay better in the restaurant. Super good. Loved everything we got. We had the pandan crepe cake, the salted egg yolk toast, the mango sticky rice bingsoo and the milk tea. The milk tea was the weakest thing, but overall everything was good and the restaurant had a nice vibe. The service was really fast and it was easy to order with the tablet. Would definitely go again.

I came here for dessert at the end of a date. The music and lighting and ambiance inside created a fun party vibe, which I very much enjoyed. The service was fast and the food was good! Once seated, we ordered through scanning the QR code and using the website portal for our table. I like that method especially when I can order fancy boba-like drinks that need me to specify sweetness level, ice level, any milk substitutes, etc. it's a very convenient way to order. We ordered the Ube and Mango snows, which were big enough for us to share, but we ordered one each because we wanted to be over the top. I think, in the future, we will just split one snow between two people. Ordering one a pop was also quite pricy. Two snows and two fancy drinks ran up a relatively high bill for a desert order; I definitely consider this place ti be on the pricier side. But that what you get with good location and ambiance. I highly recommend the tiramisu latte! It totally tasted and looked like tiramisu. It was a really fun drink.

Our dessert story, after having ramen from across the street, was very random. We actually wanted gelato but opted for U:Dessert Story. So, I guess didn't really have any expectations other than to just have a sweet treat. We were pleasantly surprised. You order from a QR code, but pay with the server. Only 1 server during our visit, and very busy. I know we're in the Bay Area, but these prices at U:Dessert Story are very high. Looking at the menu, I was just wondering how they're justifying these prices. Now, that said, the quality and how these desserts were crafted are very good. Thought can sense that (from the two we ordered), there was thought put into the dishes to make them work. The ingredients felt like they were well sourced, and what we ordered were very tasty. And as to the two we ordered, one was worth its price (barely), the other probably not. We ordered the Strawberry Bingsoo. I've had many bingsoos before, most were just okay. This one took me on another level of bingsoo that I haven't experienced. This was simply that good. The shaved ice could have been finer, but I think if it was, the toppings wouldn't have held up as well. Hints of yogurt and almond really makes this dish. The strawberry bingsoo, at $16, it was just worth its price. We also ordered the Oreo croffle. Well made. Ingredients came together with the toppings. Very enjoyable, but at $9 each, this one I didn't feel like was worth the price. Street parking may be tricky. Free on Sundays.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I always go here with my friends and family for dessert. The tables are spaced out and it is always busy. However, seating is fast. Service is so good, they constantly check on you no matter how busy it is. I love the decor and it is a great place for a little girls day or even a date! All the desserts are the perfect amount of sweetness. I suggest the bingsu or the toast, those are my absolute favorite. I have yet to try the drinks but they look sooo good. 10/10 recommend coming here.

I've been here before with a party of six adults, and was seated with no problem. We had a great time eating their dessert, which was Korean shave ice. There was not a rule for ordering a certain amount of $$ to be able to seated at that time. However, this time, I came with my family of six with my son's friend, so there was seven of us total. 3 adults and 4 kids, ages 14, two 11 y.o., and a 9 y.o. I was thinking to just order dessert and maybe some drinks. When we got there, i as told that if we were seated, we had to order at least $56 in order to be seated. The restaurant was not very full. There was maybe three tables filled and there was a long table that was available to seat us all, but it was the principal of it, having to be told that because we had kids, that we had to order a certain amount. I don't remember how much their dessert was, but I don't like to be pressured to have to buy. Maybe we could have ordered that much or more, whose knows, but I was already upset by their rules. I asked if we could split our party to 3 and 4, but she said no. I don't understand the principle of it and what the difference is between a party of seven verses a party of 3 or 4? Their customer service and policy is the worst. I will not recommend this place just because of unfair practices. Large parties with Kids should be welcomed and not be restricted with their policies. read more

I've been here twice and both times ordered the Volcano bc my kids wanted to see the dry ice smoke. Both times they ran out of dry ice but never bothered to mention it to me, I would have switched my order otherwise. I found out when the order was brought to my table and all they did was shrug like sorry can't do anything about it. Usually other places might let you swap it out or maybe give you an extra side for the disappointment or a credit for next time. We also ordered the fries and chicken wings which were decent. If I go back again I know to ask for dry ice or just order something entirely diff. One volcano with 3 sides (boba, scoop of icecream, grass jelly) was $25 for tax and 20% tip, pretty substantial. Make sure you don't order the condensed milk side; it comes with it. I wish they made it clear on the menu bc I ordered it the first time and I had two condensed milk sides and one is all you need to sweeten the whole dish. 3 stars bc the bingsoo isn't overly sweet and you can control the sweetness with the sides, the intro of cornflakes and Rice Krispies adds a cool texture, and the place is pretty cute and easy to find parking. read more

Love Artis Coffee!…read more My wife and I haven't been on Fourth Street Berkeley in a long long time! Thankfully while doing some shopping and after a great meal at Divan Restaurant a few block away we popped into Artis Coffee. Wow! It was after 4 pm but what the hell, I ordered a cappuccino and my wife order a defca cappuccino, several pastries and took in the HUGE space! Our cashier was very friendly and appreciated our humor and debate on whether to have a "decaffeinated" cappuccino or not. I convince my wife to order one and she loved loved loved it!

Artis Coffee was okay…read more I had an Ube Latte, 12 oz, iced, with matcha and oat milk ($8.50 plus $2 tip) and it was good. Artis opened on December 7, 2013 and is located on the northern end of the Fourth Street Shops (a.k.a. Fourth Street Berkeley). This is a fairly spacious cafe with an industrial/warehouse, minimalist look. During my afternoon visit, it was busy inside and out on the covered patio. Lots of people on their laptops. Artis roasts their own coffee. Service was fine. I got a side eye from the cashier/barista when I asked where the water station was (it was my first time and I was unfamiliar with this place), but they were nice and polite otherwise. The water pressure at the self-serve faucet was too strong and sprayed water everywhere. Good for a coffee fix if you're in the area.

People were lounging outside, sipping coffee, and just soaking in the day, it made the whole visit feel extra cozy and lively at the same time. Inside the café has a serious charm. There's a massive bookshelf filled with books (huge bonus points for including kids' storybooks too), which gives the space a warm, community feel. Service was quick and efficient even though the place was buzzing. Fair warning: it's clearly a favorite among students but somehow it still works with the vibe rather than against it.

The weekend and after-school lines can get pretty crazy, and since this is marketed as a traditional matcha spot, each drink takes longer than usual to make. Personally, I'm not always willing to wait that long for a drink. Luckily, I'm in a position where I can stop by on a weekday during off-hours, when there is little to no line. That said, even with only one or two people ahead of me, it can still take about 5-10 minutes to get a drink. When ordering, you get to choose the type of drink first, followed by the type of matcha, which I thought was really cool. They also provide descriptions of each matcha and explain the differences between them. It makes the experience feel a little more special and fun. Each drink is meticulously prepared and beautifully presented, with distinct layers that highlight each component. Once mixed, the matcha is smooth, and the added flavors, like strawberry, complement the drink really well. I would say that to get the most out of it, you should drink it fairly quickly since it starts to water down once the ice melts. Overall, this is a pretty solid matcha spot, especially if you enjoy a more curated matcha experience. However, I personally would not wait more than 10 minutes for it.

What did the pancake say to the waffle? "Hey, batter, batter! The ambiance of U Dessert Story is still appealing with its spacious interior and moderate noise level, making it a comfortable spot for dining. Our group of five was promptly seated upon arrival, and the service remained efficient throughout our visit. While the food arrived promptly and was of high quality, reflecting the upscale nature of the establishment, some members of our party felt that the prices were somewhat steep for the portion sizes offered. However, our experience took a slight downturn during the checkout process. Despite presenting a valid 10% discount offer from Yelp with no stated expiration date, the waiter was unable to reach the manager to verify its validity. Unfortunately, we were not granted the discount, leaving us feeling disappointed by the lack of follow-through on the advertised promotion. This incident highlighted a discrepancy between the advertised offer and the actual customer service provided, which was disappointing and left us questioning the integrity of the establishment. Overall, while U Dessert Story still offers an enjoyable dining experience with its delicious food and inviting ambiance, the failure to honor advertised promotions detracted from an otherwise positive visit. read more

I love their desserts/wish there were more gluten-free options. However, I tried to sit inside today with my task-trained service dog and the worker denied us access. They asked to see his "ID" at which point we told them that real service dogs don't need an ID and that the Americans with Disabilities Act doesn't require any kind of license or identification. The worker told us that if we wanted to sit inside, we could sit at the table next to the door. I was starting to panic so we agreed and sat at a table by the door but I have the right to be a service dog next to a paying customer. Service dogs are legally medical devices and have full rights of access. I don't blame the specific activist though I think everyone should be educated about disability rights. It is the responsibility of the business to educate its employees about the handling of dogs in the business. In case you didn't know, let me tell you: When a dog comes into a pet friendly facility, you can ask 2 questions: 1. Is it a service dog? and 2. What tasks has the dog been trained to do to minimize the disability? read more

All the way from Walnut Creek, come here about once a month, one of the best desserts won't lie. Took my mom out for her birthday, and got the 19$ mango sticky rice. Super good. Decided to give cash tip since I know people prefer cash. When the girl with brown highlight hair with bangs came to cash us out I paid with card and put no tip. SHE ASKED ME TWICE "NO TIP FOR US?" I had to say excuse me? Because I thought I heard wrong. Then my mom said oh we are giving cash tip. After that I told my mom screw that we aren't giving anything. That is so freaken rude to ask especially in todays age. My mom insisted we leave 7$ I only left two. And I was already pissed. My mom said thank you for the dessert but she'd rather not come back. How embarrassing. I work in customer service and there's no way I would dare ask a customer for tip, i would feel so ashamed. Feels like begging. Never coming back ever and telling all my sisters who love going there to not go anymore. read more

If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying dessert in Berkeley, U :Dessert Story is the place to be. As a student, I used to frequent this spot and it's hands down one of the best dessert places in the area. Their mango bingsoo is out of this world. The texture is wonderfully fluffy, the flavor is perfectly sweet, and it's an all-around satisfying treat. Even after graduating, I make an effort to come back here whenever I'm back in the area. But it's not just their mango bingsoo that's worth trying. U :Dessert Story has a great selection of other desserts as well, and I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is always friendly and prompt. I highly recommend giving U :Dessert Story a try if you're in the area and looking for a sweet treat.

If you're looking for a sweet escape, U:Dessert Story is the place to be! This dessert spot has the cutest vibes - with swings to sit on and LED lights everywhere, it's the perfect place to hang with friends or go on a cute date. The desserts come out pretty quickly too, so you won't be waiting too long to indulge in some sweets. While some of the desserts can be a hit or miss, I must say that the mochi waffle was an absolute winner! I had been wanting to try one for ages, and U:Dessert Story did not disappoint. The waffle was so soft and chewy, and the ice cream on top was the perfect addition. Overall, if you're looking for a fun and sweet spot to satisfy your dessert cravings, U:Dessert Story is definitely worth checking out. read more

We indulged in some delicious treats, including Honey Brick Toast for $20.00, Tempura Shrimp for $13.00, Cheese Fries for $14.00, and a refreshing Thai Tea drink for $6.50 with lite ice. We also tried a delightful Fired Boba Brown Sugar for $7.50 and ended our meal with Mango Sticky Rice Bingsu for $22.00. Although the place was a bit bustling, we made the most of it by sitting at the counter. Sharing our food was a little tricky, but we managed just fine!
