Dessert Restaurants near Huntington Beach, CA

“One particularly hot night my mom and I searched, “Best Gelato near me” and the top result was Mangiamo! After eating the gelato 3 times in a row, we can definitely say that title is well earned! The Double Chocolate flavor is for sure the best chocolate flavored Gelato in the whole state of California; not to mention it’s totally authentic too! The server is also incredibly kind and pleasant to talk to. Overall, this place is such a phenomenal experience and we would highly recommend it for vacationers and gelato connoisseurs alike!“

“Great staff who answered all my questions and helped me and my children. The cotton candy was delicious, and the characters made my kids so happy. Everything was quick, and it was a really nice experience to come in taking my wife and girls out on valentines with the family.“

“**4.5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Sweet Mood Westminster: A Fun Dive into Vietnamese Sweets**

Tucked in the heart of Little Saigon on Bolsa Ave, **Sweet Mood** is the colorful novelty dessert spot that’s perfect when you’re craving something cold and quirky after a pho run 🍧🇻🇳. The place is bright and playful—pastel walls, cute neon signs, and a long counter loaded with vibrant toppings. It’s classic fast-casual: order at the register, watch them assemble your treat, and grab it to go or enjoy at the small tables. **Convenient location** with plenty of plaza parking, and it’s open late—ideal for late-night sugar fixes.

**Service was friendly**—the staff smiled, patiently explained options for first-timers, and everything came out quick even during the weekend rush.

The **Vietnamese sweets** are definitely the draw here: I got the classic chè ba màu (three-color dessert) and a mixed fruit chè with coconut milk. Layers of mung bean, red bean, pandan jelly, and plenty of toppings like grass jelly and lychee. Flavors are authentic—sweet, creamy, and refreshing with that signature Southeast Asian vibe. Portions are generous and fun to dig through.

That said, deductions based on my personal preferences keep it from a full 5. I’m not the biggest fan of **crushed ice** (it waters things down a bit for me), the **mix** of textures can feel chaotic (beans + jelly + fruit all at once), and some **Vietnamese desserts** lean into “weird” territory for my palate—like the slightly starchy beans or intense pandan.

Still, Sweet Mood nails the novelty factor and delivers legit Vietnamese chè in a friendly, convenient spot. If you love adventurous sweets or grew up on these, you’ll rate it higher. For me, it’s a solid 4.5—fun to try, and I’d come back with friends who are bigger fans.“

“The bingsoo is super fluffy and melts in your mouth! The coffee is rich and aromatic, pairing perfectly with the ice. The shop has a cozy atmosphere with plenty of parking, which makes it really convenient. Can’t wait to come back with friends next time!“

“The place is full of cute stuff and a a lot of opportunities to take photos with dolls and cuteness. One can find them self immersed in doll collecting here. The service is polite and friendly. The service was fast and the food was savory with a light on taste buds. I was very satisfied with the delivery on the soft on sweet goodness.“

“I was able to try these out in California adventure park during the Chinese be year celebration. These were delightful fresh and fruity treats. We tried the lychee panda cream dessert that was paired with a green tea matcha dessert. We also tried a mango grapefruit crepe cake. They were fun to eat and look at. Highly recommend!“

“The absolute BEST churros!! I've gone to El Moro several times in Mexico City and the quality here in Costa Mesa is on par! The churros have the best crunch to them, never soggy or hard to rip apart, and are just the right amount of sweet. The young man working the order pickup station was SO nice and made my day ☺️“

“Love 💘 my Vietnamese desserts 🍨 and coffee ☕“

“Team members are chill and the tea slaps. What more can you ask for?“

“Good place to hang out with friends and family“

“We first discovered Kokonut Costa Mesa while visiting the area for the first time — and instantly fell in love with their original Kokonut pudding! The flavors are so simple yet absolutely delicious, and the fact that it’s vegan-friendly makes it even better.

Back on the East Coast, we couldn’t find anything that even comes close, so I recently ordered some for my husband’s birthday. The owner went above and beyond to make sure the delivery arrived exactly when we were home — such a thoughtful and kind gesture!

This is truly one of the best desserts we’ve ever had — light, creamy, and full of natural flavor. I just wish they’d open a store on the East Coast! Until then, I hope more people discover this hidden gem in Costa Mesa and try all their amazing flavors.“

“I love Bake & Che. They have multiple locations now throughout OC and LA. I mainly visit this location because it’s closer to me.

Parking: The parking lot can be frustrating because it can get busy on random days. Finding a spot is a hit or miss.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a small/medium indoor space with a decent amount of indoor seating. It can get crowded with people waiting around at the pick up counter. It’s a Vietnamese spot, so Vietnamese music will be playing.

Service: The workers are nice, quick, and efficient. They speak English and Vietnamese.

Desserts: I absolutely enjoy all their che. It’s so refreshing! Their bakery items brings back so many memories for me. My favorite is the Pandan. My go-to Che are the Thai, avocado, and house special. Perfect amount of milk and a generous amount of jellies & fruits. My only critique is the cleanliness of the packaging. Every time I received my order, the cup is always sticky. Their Green Thai Tea is the BEST I’ve ever had! The floral and pandan notes definitely came through.

Pricing: It is pretty pricey, but definitely worth it every once in a while! Highly recommend joining their rewards program through the Toast app. They also send out coupons/promotions occasionally.“

“A Vietnamese friend recommended this place to me, saying it offers authentic Vietnamese snacks — and I’m glad I gave it a try!

I sampled a few different snacks (though I’m not exactly sure what they were called), but everything I tried was tasty and very affordable.

There was a short wait before ordering, but once our order was taken, the service was quick and efficient.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking to try authentic Vietnamese desserts and snacks!“

“Nice family owned place. Would definitely recommend this place!“

“It is delicious & addictive (even when you desire less sugar). I don’t live in CA, but I come to visit my adult children often. This dessert was “introduced” to me by my daughter’s Vietnamese friend and I can eat 2 or 3 of these desserts in a day or two. I don’t eat bobba anymore. Now, the only reason I am giving it a four stars is because of the ridiculous long line no matter what time of the day you come or of you order in-store or online - it’s nothing against them (the staff are efficient), but it’s just SOOOOO popular and parking is an issue.“

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“

“Cute store with cute drinks. They have Labubu cake for topping for $2.50. Drinks are good with small desserts list. The place is spacious with cute decor, plenty of seats. Service is very nice, friendly and helpful. Parking can be a hassle since the store is located right next to several popular restaurants so you might park other side of the store and walk over. But overall not bad.“

“This is your definite GO TO for authentic Vietnamese desserts, hands down! I ordered the Chè Ba Màu, Chè Thái, Bánh bèo, Bánh
Cam, Bánh bao, and a mung bean jello dessert.
Whether savory or sweet, this restaurant has it. Parking is horrific and the lines are long, but patience is key if you want some of these sweets. Bring CASH only and brush up on your Vietnamese language. Also, you have to be a bit aggressive when ordering. Wave your hand when it’s your turn or else they will miss you and go to the next person. Overall, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for Che.“

“These are my favorites.🙂🙂“

“Unlike other desert shops MeetFresh drinks and desert isnt overly sweet, it’s just perfect. The staff at this location is friendly and Courteous. We will definitely be back soon.“
