I've been here a few times, and it's great. Delicious Asian inspired desserts. Known for their crepe cakes, bingsu and more! They have both indoor and outdoor seating and merch for sale too. You can also buy some of their mixes to bring home. Parking is kind of a pain in that area - but that's most of downtown Berkeley. Fun place to hang out, grab a bite and catchup. Price is okay - definitely paying more for the taste palette and ingredients. Service is okay as well.

my friend and I came ready to eat and their service was super quick! I loved the ube bingsu- I read all about the bingsu in the comments so I had to try! super worth it! it's not too sweet and it melts in your mouth (I was expecting a snow cone but this was a great surprise since I love ice cream) we also ordered the hojicha layered cake. I wasn't too big of a fan- I gave it a 5/10 but my friend gave it an 8/10. I think it just wasn't for my palette but if you like hojicha, it's def worth trying. I definitely wanna try the rest of the menu so i'll be back!

This restaurant has the most beautiful and cozy decor with incredibly friendly staff. The mango bingsoo was refreshing and not too sweet. It had the light and airy fluffy texture that you hope to get from bingsoo, not icy and hard like a snow cone at all. Their menu has so much to choose from and I can't wait to come back and try more desserts! This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion.

Bingsu can be hard to find, and U Dessert Story does a solid job of filling that role. The Hojicha bingsu was flavorful, refreshing, and not too sweet. The size is a good shareable for 2-4 people depending on how ravenous for dessert you are, and though I didn't get to it this time, the menu looks like it's filled with lots of other yummy creations. I'd return & recommend!

This spot totally delivered--every item we tried was a hit. We had the young coconut pandan crepe cake, cappuccino with Equator coffee, and the volcano bingsu. The crepe cake was delicate, creamy, and had that subtle pandan flavor that wasn't overpowering--super refreshing and not too sweet. The cappuccino was on point: strong but smooth with perfectly textured foam, and the Equator coffee gave it a rich, balanced depth. You can tell they take their coffee seriously here. And the showstopper? The volcano bingsu. It came out literally smoking--tons of visual flair but the flavors held up too. Loaded with toppings, textures, and a generous drizzle of condensed milk. It's a fun experience and delicious from the first bite to the last. Cozy ambiance, friendly service, and everything came out beautifully plated. Definitely a place worth coming back to for dessert and coffee lovers alike.

Wow! Probably the best desert place I've been to. Every desert dish we ordered was a dance on my palette! The desert was new and innovative to me! And I didn't walk away feeling sick with high fructose syrupy stuff. I didn't read the label so I don't know what is in here but it's really good! The shaved ice infused with flavors got me wondering how they did this! The staff was very friendly and well mannered and trained. There was a like to get in. So make reservations but the staff do what they can to make everyone feel welcomed! It's a happy place for celebration! People came here to celebrate birthdays! They have this cool vibe that you just need to experience! I left you pictures of our empty dishes... so good I didn't even have time to take photos of them. Besides you can see everyone else's photos of their sweet dessert!

Solid dessert stop. They had Bingsoo so I had to go. I much prefer Mandro in Alameda but the ease of getting to Dessert Story probably means I will be at Dessert Story more often. Great service. Solid Bingsoo Fun to try the Ube Biscoff. I prefer the Strawberry

10/10 would come here again. There's a better chance to get seating here vs the Dessert Story in SF AND the desserts are the same quality. Food: Banoffee pie 5/5 Super lovely balance of earthy hojicha and the sweetness of banana and toffee. Absolute favorite. Ube biscoff shaved ice 5/5 Bit tough to eat neatly but very refreshing. The boba used for the shaved ice comes in a separate container and is served warm. There's a core of cookie crumble in the middle of the shaved ice which helps keep you motivated to finish the entire dessert. Signature house mochi waffle: 5/5 Served warm. The chew to the waffle is lovely. Pretty solid dish overall- mochi waffle comes with tons of toppings Service: Fast! You order via app at the table and they bring out the desserts when ready. Ambiance: Warm and cozy, lots of seating around.
