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!“

“Best cotton candy characters!!! If you have a kiddo or love cotton candy, you have to visit this place at least once. It never disappoints. The staff is friendly, quality is superb, temperature controlled environment. It can get busy when it opens so get there early or be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes. Pro Tip: Go later in the afternoon 4ish and there is usually little to no wait times.“

“**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 sago will totalllllllly satisfy your sweet treat craving. The drinks are really good as well and the staff are always so friendly and kind. My only tip for them is to serve the dessert bowls chilled!“

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!“

“These are my favorites.🙂🙂“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“My favorite Vietnamese dessert store. Everything taste amazing. Wish I could eat everything, every time I visit.

The line kind of sucks. If you go in peak hours, be prepared to wait. It’s worth the wait for sure.

The workers there are nice and do their best to keep the line moving but the nature of the business limits movement due to indecisive people taking longer than needed.

It is a to go restaurant, not a sit down.“

“Nice place ! Đủ thứ chè như chè 3 màu,xu xa hột lựu còn có bánh da lợn,bánh lá dứa My favorite place to go for desert.“

“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.“
