Dessert Restaurants near El Monte, CA

“I happened to be driving by and saw this shop. I decided to try it out and pick up some doughnuts for the guys at the office. Not only were the doughnuts fresh, the service was great! The women were very patient, fast and friendly. I am glad I found this shop. Most doughnut shops are very pushy and make you feel rushed. Excellent customer service. I will definitely be coming back!!“

“Very yummy cookies! I came to grab the Olivia Rodrigo cookie, and now I want more cookies. I like how service is fast, and you can watch them make the cookies in front of you! They don’t accept cash here, by the way. They only seem to have kiosks.“

“I love this location it’s super close to my house!!!

I recommend crumbl for having a lot of choices of cookies, having best chocolate chip cookies!!!

Then, what i love the most is that everyweek they have different choices of cookies that we can choose from♥️“

“👍 have heard they are pricey but worth it. Can’t wait to try one“

“I went in on Tuesday, the new owners were in back of me. I was telling the cashier how disappointed my daughter was, we came in on monday and it was closed. Well the new owners, gave me a couple cookies for free. That was so awesome of them. My daughter was so happy and she said" Thank you so much!"“

“The cookies are amazing go try“

“Delicious flavors! I love them 😍 will have to visit more often“

“This Hong Kong–style dessert shop truly hits the spot for anyone craving classic Cantonese sweets. The Taro Coconut Milk Sago is rich and fragrant, with real taro flavor and perfectly chewy sago—comforting without being overly sweet.

The highlight is their Mango Pomelo Sago, which tastes incredibly authentic. Fresh, ripe mangoes blended into a silky base, balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, and finished with juicy pomelo for that refreshing bite. It’s exactly the kind of dessert you’d expect from a traditional Hong Kong dessert shop—nostalgic, well-balanced, and done right.

If you’re a fan of classic Hong Kong tong sui, this place is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Cute dessert spot that feels reminiscent of classic HK/TW dessert shops. We came on a Saturday night and were seated right away—no wait. It’s largely a self-service experience (ordering straight from the menu and servers are basically just runners).

Prices are a little on the high side, but kudos to them for delivering dishes that actually look like the photos. Therefore, there are plenty of Instagram-worthy items for those looking for that! Good experience, but not necessarily a repeatable one.

(For taste, I do recommend the mango/grape dessert - though that’s not as unique as the other items).“

“🌟 Oakobing – Pasadena, CA
If you’re craving a sweet escape, Oakobing delivers a frosty dream in every spoonful. I tried the black sesame and strawberry shaved ice—each one a cloud of flavor, delicately layered with mochi and a drizzle of condensed milk. The texture? Feather-light and refreshingly crisp. Seating’s limited, so grab your treat and head to the cozy outdoor nook out back. Pro tip: skip the garage and snag metered parking nearby. A must-visit for Korean dessert lovers looking to chill in style.“

“Really good if you’re into guilt free desserts that aren’t overly sweet! I tried the mango coconut jelly and the mango pomelo sago and both were a mild sweetness that was not overwhelming making it easy to enjoy the entire dessert from start to finish. And you get a cute jar to keep and reuse so that’s a plus!“

“This is an excellent alternative to Melo Melo literally it tastes the same but the refrigeration system here works a lot better so it's actually cold and not borderline room temperature like it is at Melo Melo. The only downside is the flavor selection here isn't as great so I hope they have more in the future and the place smells kind of stuffy and funny“

“I was impressed how one girl delivered exceptional service on such a busy Sunday. Very swiftly yet calm and helpful to indecisive customers. I had the dulce de leche first and it was amazing and the freddo expresso transported me back to Greece. Not everone gets it on point. I had to go back for more after my lunch and I got a little creative and created my own and was glad to see that someone else was there to assist the young girl out.“

“Can’t wait for my wedding!!!“

“I ordered a dozen cake pops pretty last minute and made changes to my order and they were still able to accommodate me. The cake pops were so cute and delicious and I got so many compliments. I'll be ordering from here again. Highly recommend!“

“Fun frozen yogurt shop, with the *widest* array of toppings I've ever seen. Fun vibe, delicious flavors of frozen yogurt, friendly staff.It helped transform (in my kids' minds) a long museum visit we had just finished into a happy memory. A reasonable spoonful of sugar for the win!“

“Absolutely a gem 💎! We loved the matcha spanner super delicious with the matcha cream and the strawberry matcha😘. The details and the cute designs on the cups super cute. The ube croissant and the banana pudding were absolutely delicious 😋! By the way, thank you for the tiny croissants with chocolate cream. My family absolutely loved them. We definitely will come again.“

“I came here many years ago with my friends and it’s filled with happy memories, their desserts are delicious and ONE OF A KIND!! The snow ice has a great texture and they let u have two included toppings! Every time I come, they fully load your cup. Even if you order a small size. You won’t find a more delicious snow ice dessert than here!“

“I came here after a really bad KBBQ experience at Gen and the drinks here really cheered me up. The atmosphere was amazing and it seems like a great study spot so I’ll definitely be coming back.

The drink I got was their standard matcha latte, it wasn’t too sweet or too bitter nor grainy. I’ve had a lot of matcha in my time and this was pretty solid. My boyfriend got the other drink, I’m 90% sure it was the taro, a little too sweet for me, but he really liked it so that’s all that matters.

The highlight of this place was definitely the welcoming atmosphere and amazing drinks!“

“Yum yum yum!! 🥥🌴🥥🌴 Enjoyed every spoonful!!!“

“Celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday at Bingsu Bingsu and it couldn't have been more perfect fulfilling her foodie favorites with a variety of tasty taiyaki, specialty teas and an exquisitely prepared Signature Bibim Bingsu! Our server was the absolute sweetest wishing my daughter Happy Birthday with her beautiful smile :)“

“I saw this newly opened shop that’s next to Ai Wei Ju. After finished our meal at Ai Wei Ju, we hopped over to Coconut Jelly King in Alhambra for dessert, and I must say it was a delightful experience. This charming little spot offers a wide range of refreshing beverages and tasty treats, with a special focus on coconut jelly-based creations.Firstly, the atmosphere at Coconut Jelly King is relaxed and inviting. The interior is bright and clean, adorned with Tiffany blue-themed decorations that immediately transport you to a classy cafe. The staff members were friendly and attentive, ready to assist with any questions and recommendations.Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the coconut jelly. The coconut jelly-based drinks at Coconut Jelly King are simply fantastic. I tried their signature coconut jelly smoothie, and it was a perfect blend of creamy coconut goodness and a hint of sweetness. The coconut jelly itself was wonderfully tender and added a delightful texture to the drink. It was clear that they use high-quality ingredients, as the flavors were rich and authentic.In addition to their excellent coconut jelly smoothies, Coconut Jelly King also offers a variety of other flavored jellies. We had their fresh coconut jelly which came in the whole coconut. We loved the texture. They also offer other flavors as well, there is something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed their red bean coconut jelly which was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness.To complement their beverages, Coconut Jelly King also serves a selection of delectable snacks and desserts. I couldn't resist trying their egg waffles and it was a true delight. Chewy , smooth, and crunchy with the natural flavors of coconut, it was a perfect ending to my visit.The prices at Coconut Jelly King are reasonable, considering the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. They also offer generous portion sizes, ensuring that you get great value for your money. The menu is diverse enough to cater to various preferences, and the ability to customize your drink according to your liking is an added bonus.Overall, my experience at Coconut Jelly King was fantastic. The combination of great ambiance, friendly service, and exceptional coconut jelly-based drinks made it a memorable visit. Whether you're a coconut lover or simply looking to try something new and refreshing, I highly recommend stopping by Coconut Jelly King in Alhambra. It's a hidden gem that deserves recognition for its unique and delicious offerings.“

“small cute shop but only two small tables to sit at,, they were really nice and recommended a lot of treats for us! we tried the tiramisu, mango roll, mango mochi, pomelo mango sago drink, almond cookies, and the variety custard pack! the family favorites were the almond cookies, sago drink, and mango roll!! so so good and yummy would definitely return for those :D“

“We just tried this Bake & Che Vietnamese dessert place in Rosemead on Rosemead Blvd and River Ave. It's next to the Da Vien Coffee. This is a new structure, and the ambiance was comfortable with modern decor. We ordered G1 The Sampler (5 pcs, $7), Avocado Che ($8), and C1 House Special ($7). The five cakes sampler included palm sugar, pandan layers, mung bean, cassava, and taro. I especially like the taro and mung bean cakes, but I'm not a fan of the pandan because it has durian inside. Besides the cakes, I liked their drinks even more! The Avocado Che drink was so delicious and so fresh. It had a lot of ingredients inside. My hubby liked the House Special Che Dac Biet (C1) drink so much, but it had durian inside, so I did not drink it. We forgot to order their signature flan cheesecake, and we will definitely go back to try it next time. The service was friendly and speedy.“

“This place is small but their drinks are delicious 😋 my first time here and I ordered the #23 which had the yogurt in it which was yummy! This place doesn't have a big selection but it good. Try them out fir yourself. Nice little treat!“

“(Translated by Google) It is very nice that you go out looking for something and find gold, in this place you can find exquisite crepes, the attention is great (the same owner takes care of you) so the service is quite good even with the long queue, plus they are 4-5 dollars more Cheaper than in other businesses in the area, but they also have mini pancakes and Yucatecan marquesitas(Original)Muy agradable que salgas buscando una cosa y encuentres oro, en este lugar encuentras crepas exquisitas, la atención es genial (la misma dueña te atiende) por lo que el servicio es bastante bueno aún teniendo la fila considerable, además están 4 - 5 dólares más baratas que en otros negocios de la zona, pero además tienen minipancakes y marquesitas yucatecas“

“I love supporting small businesses. It is the spot when I crave for cheese cake or need pick it up for potlucks and parties. I love the Japanese Iced cheesecake . It's light, not too sweet Percy texture and so delicious. They have the original , matcha , strawberry and Oreo flavors. You can either one flavor or a set of all 4.

The taro snowflakes is a must try, creamy taro sponge cake made with real taro.

This shop is clean, cutesy and is family owned and I was helped by the owner's mom, she's super nice lady, the owner makes all the cakes.

They take cash, Venmo and Zelle as payment options.“

“The cream puff I tried was the Creme Brulee one and it tasted so freaking good omg it was my first time trying it I was so scared it would taste soo sweet but it wasn’t and omg it tasted soooooo good omgomg 100% recommend. Got my order really fast“

“First time trying Sul & Beans today with hubby and daughter. I've had shaved ice plenty of times before, but I'd never had it Korean-style! We are definitely coming back because there are so many flavors to try! Service was super quick, and everything was delicious! Big thumbs up!“

“super nice staff! the mochi was delicious and i never really liked durian but i decided to try the durian mochi! it was delicious and the durian flavor and smell they derive it from real durian) was not too overbearing and it was incredibly delicious. their pastiest are all too cute and i can tell they were made with much love.

10/10

located in a plaza so lots of parking (underground too)“

“It's too small to dance more northern to dance and it's a bar type but it's good to hang out for a while. I went with my husband and I had a good time. We celebrated 28 years of marriage. But I realized that he doesn't like to be well. A lot of trouble 🍺🍺🍺🥂🍷🥃 but there is a little fun.“

“Excelente servicio muy rica las cosas que preparan ahí en ese lugar se lo recomiendo“

“Everything is súper good!!!! 😋“

“Miss you, Donut Town! Since we moved to Plymouth Village we don’t get to enjoy the most impressive seasonal themed Donuts in the world!“

“Me and my family tried this spot after watching a movie and it was really good I got the s'mores my wife got the red velvet and my son got the cookies and cream 5/5 definitely recommend!!!! Alot of ice cream for the price too and the flavor was spot on not too sweet just perfect especially the ratio of ice cream to candy in it was perfect“

“Friendly atmosphere, quick service and delicious food and drinks. My favorite is the BLT on an everything bagel with iced caramel coffee. =)“

“This has quickly become one of my go-to spots for a raspado after church or whenever I'm out and about. I'm happy to see it gaining the recognition it deserves, thanks to its friendly staff, authentic traditional Hispanic flavors, and delicious snacks like elote. Even when there’s a bit of a wait, the quality and flavor make it more than worth it every time. 😌☝️“

“Based on the Esquites this Michoacana rates 4 stars.

The corn is the right kind and they prepare it very well but they didn’t put lime juice in my esquites which isn’t very good. Maybe they forgot.

Service is very good.

Plenty of parking in the lot.“

“I finally tried the Ube Halo-Halo from Baked Dessert Bar in West Covina and it was honestly really good. Visually, it stands out with vibrant colors and a clean presentation that makes it super photo-worthy. The ube flavor is rich and creamy without being overly sweet, which I appreciated. It has that deep nutty taste that still lets the other ingredients shine.

The toppings were generous. There was leche flan, sweet beans, jelly, and nata layered with finely shaved ice and a splash of evaporated milk. The textures were exactly what you want in a halo-halo. You get creamy, chewy, icy, and a little crunch all in one bite.

If I had to point out one thing, I do wish the ice stayed colder a bit longer, but it did not take away from the overall experience. If you like ube, this one definitely delivers. If you are new to halo-halo, it is an easy and tasty intro.“

“Review is for food only. Not store or service.
Heard good things about Beard Papas snackies .

Since I happened to be in Old Town Pasadena, and discovered there was one. It's not on the main strip so I almost missed it.

Food:
Cream puff (original) - this was the item that I wanted to try out since it's their main seller. I expected the puff to be softer with a crunchy outer shell but it was harder than I expected. It was delicious though. The cream is slightly sweet which I like. I hate super sweet cream.
Honey butter puff - the second item I tried. Not a bad combo, but original still is better.

There are more flavors but I wanted to try the puffs as they are and not too overloaded with macha, chocolate, etc.. flavors.

Repeat: only for the original puff with the vanilla filling (original filling). It is pricey but once in a while is ok.“

“We are so happy we came across these beautiful apartments. From the time we walked in the leasing office meeting Timothy, it felt so welcoming and looked like a place we could call home. Timothy was very helpful and knowledgeable as he gave us a tour of the community. Timothy showed excellent service, is kind, and has guided us throughout our entire moving-in process. We thank him and his entire team for making our move to Walnut Ridge Apartments seamless and effortless.“
