We ordered 18 layer Crepe cake w coconut extra. One drink and a fried tempura. Food looks pretty but I think it’s really overpriced. Over $60. I think it’s way too pricey and the quality of service doesn’t match the food, plus we just self ordered w our phones

My friends and I enjoyed the ambiance, and the presentation of the desserts was visually appealing, as you can see from the pictures. However, the taste and overall quality didn’t quite meet our expectations; the desserts didn’t feel very fresh. Considering the price point, we felt there were better options available elsewhere. The service was fine, but nothing particularly exceptional given the gratuity that was charged.

Very cute little shop to grab dessert at. It was very easy to walk in and get a seat, they immediately brought us water and informed us how to view the menu.
We had the Double Fromage Lychee Cheesecake and the Hojicha Banoffee. The presentation was great and the flavor was really excellent. This is not a complaint, but the slices are big!
The lychee cheesecake is Japanese style so very fluffy and light with a very flavorful lychee ice cream. The banoffee crust was perfectly browned and caramelized.
Service was prompt and attentive even for just dessert!

Salted Egg toast doesn't as good as a few years ago. Not sure what happened. Prices seems to be more expensive now too. I don't know if it is just Berkeley rent, but menu prices are high. At these prices, I won't be returning. It's unfortunate.
We got Mango sticky rice Bingsu, Ube Bingsu, young coconut pandan, and lychee cheesecake. The store was great and staffs were nice. I highly recommend Mango sticky rice with extra mango. You can smell the pandan from the cake which is great, I really like the coconut sauce on it. The Ube Bingsu was alright compare the foods we tried. Overall, great spot to try dessert. :)

The U’s Signature Cake Sampler is an edible art gallery—every slice a burst of flavor and texture. The Cherry Blossom Smoothie tastes like sipping spring, while the Lychee Matcha Fauxito is a refreshing matcha-lychee-mint symphony. Beautiful, creative, and absolutely addictive—5/5!

Tiny bit cramped inside, but I see why they recommend reservations, service was very good & the cakes were outstanding!!
I've been to the one in San Francisco, so I expected this spot to be just as packed. To my surprise it wasn't, which is really nice. Busy but not packed. I wanted to show U :Dessert Story off to my husband, and he was impressed with the atmosphere, the cute set up, and the beautiful mural. We got a cake trio. It was all so delicious, the Thai was my husband's favorite, mine was all three (I'm not picky, he is). I totally recommend U :Dessert Story even for the little the Volcano Bingsu was a big hit with all four of my kids, the presentation is beautiful (we had this in Frisco).
We'll definitely be back to try some of the drinks and food soon.

I recommend the Thai tea bingsu, which has a strong Thai tea flavor and is perfect with salted cream, nuts, and boba! I also recommend the coconut pandan crepe cake! It has a strong pandan flavor and coconut, and is very smooth.

we got vegan mango bingsu and it was okay. our favorite part was the sticky rice. i wish they served more of it or a dish with just sticky rice.
the place was packed and they left the door open so we were very cold the entire time. some people’s dishes were set on fire at the table which was cool except it did make the place smell pretty bad.
i felt very sad for the server because she was the only person working up front and there wasnt a seat empty at the restaurant. you would think with the price of the dessert they could afford to hire another person to help.

What a great place to grab dessert! This place is popular, at least it was the night I went. This place was packed and did have a little short wait. But I understand why. The staff was efficient. But the food is where you get to brag. Their Milo cheese drink, flippin’ delicious, of course simple but with their spin, is awesome. I also tried my first brick toast, and I didn’t realize it would taste this good. You figure its only just toasted bread; how good could it be? But it was great as well. The Bingsu was top notch as well, the simplicity but all the add-ons make is flavorful ride. Crepe cakes slices are my favorite, love crepes and love thai tea. Even though we came for desserts, I did see they offer savory foods as well. As far as parking goes, I’m sure it’s busy depending on the day and time. I came to this place on scooter, so if you’re game, have fun on your way there and treat yourself to something sweet!
