Dessert Restaurants near Monterey Park, CA

“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).“

“I came here for the ZZZ collab and was very impressed with the food quality and service. Despite being a very busy day, both employees were so hard-working and efficient, while still being helpful and courteous. They are generous with the cream fillings here (which I love!), and all the flavors we had were delicious - fresh, light, balanced, not too sweet. I would love to visit again. Highly recommend.“

“I was so happy to see this location open up in the 626. It's very conveniently placed near the movie theatre that I go to from time to time. So right after we watch the movies we will often come here to relax and get a bite to eat. The icy grass jelly signature is the way to go people!! Try it!“

“Best cookies I’ve ever had ! Open long hours so easy to get cookies after work or on the weekends. Good customer service. There’s nothing not to like. Yummy“

“recommended to me — I wasn’t disappointed. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but it moved quickly and the staff were helpful, even with all the hustle. The ordering process was super easy, and the space felt clean and welcoming.

The cookies themselves? Genuinely excellent. Big, warm, and packed with flavour — definitely lived up to the hype. I tried a couple of the weekly specials and would’ve gone back again if I’d had more time in Downey.

Nice stop if you’re travelling and want something sweet (or very American!). Great location too — easy to find and plenty of parking nearby, but we walked as hoteled in the local area“

“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♥️“

“Me encantan las de timón son mis favoritas“

“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!"“

“Love!! They always have the best service.“

“It was my sons and I first time ever walking into Crumbl and trying them. We were so excited about the whole thing. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted very nicely and helped right away! The staff made the entire experience for my son and I really great! We absolutely loves the variety of cookies this week had to offer and we will definitely be coming back again! Thank you La Canada Crumbl and staff!“

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

“🌟 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.“

“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.“

“ice cream + mochi, not bad, not particularly good but not bad either“

“Coconut Jelly King truly lives up to the name! 👑
This is by far the best healthy dessert option out there. Everything is made fresh, using only all-natural ingredients and real fruit. If the fruit isn’t fresh, they won’t serve it—simple as that, and I love that standard.

The coconut jelly is light, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. Service is generally good—can be a bit slow when it’s busy, but totally worth the wait. The Tiffany blue decor and crystal chandeliers give the place a really chic and cozy vibe. Even the packaging is cute, and the little bear spoon is an adorable touch!

Bonus tip: Bring back 10 empty jars and get a free coconut jelly.
A perfect combo of taste, quality, and charm. 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!“

“Finally tried this spot and was pleasantly surprised. I had the Hibiscus Calamansi and Ube Brownie -- delicious! Not too sweet at all. Service was great. As a cafe to get some work done on my laptop, it was a little distracting and perhaps not the best unless you get the booth spots towards the back. Would come back though!“

“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!“

“Salju Dessert has the BEST shaved snow I’ve ever had!
I tried the matcha, chocolate, and durian flavors and they were all absolutely delicious. The texture of the snow ice was so light and fluffy, it literally melted in my mouth.

The matcha had a rich, earthy flavor that wasn’t too bitter, the chocolate was creamy and indulgent, and

The staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and clean. I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended!“

“Love this place for amazing bionico! The crema is delicious, not too sweet and very savory. It can get busy from time to time but that is rare. It can also be a little noisy, but the place is bare bones. They make almost everything in front of their customers.

There is usually parking and the spaces are right in front.

This is my go to place for bionico and turmeric/ginger/lime shots. I will always return when I have my craving!“

“Great food. Funnel cakes. Churros. All fire. They have everything fresh and fresh made. Their ingridients are high quality from mexico. Very good. I tried the churros two days back to back couldn't get enough because it tasted so healthy. Not so sugary even tho it has strawberry syrup and lechera and all that surgery stuff. It was great. You can asd has fruits like Mango,strawberries,blueberries,banana to your churros and funnel cakes and ice cream as well all delicious . I would recommend anyone trying to hit a churro spot that taste like organic right here. Fire. It's not vegan tho. It just fesh products with less processing stuff really top notch high quality. Everyone come visit this place for some desserts ????“

“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.“

“The Kind Dessert Granola is delicious on overnight oats!

I usually want to dress up my overnight oats and found that just oats and almond milk overnight then I add the Kind Dessert granola just before eating and it’s absolutely delicious!!!

And their macadamia almond butter on a slice of toasted French bread is to die for!!!“

“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“

“I love the creme cheese with strawberries crepe, and the churros with a side of vanilla ice cream 😁“

“Finally made it here! Took advantage of promo and got a free cream puff! Yummy,I’ll be back…“

“Very delicious the mangoneada and fruit bionico 😋😋🤫“

“Yummy Japanese dessert spot! I’ve seen it get pretty busy during the day, but at night it wasn’t too crowded—perfect for a post-dinner treat. We tried two taiyakis and an upside-down soft serve with black sesame filling (ube + matcha swirl). Highly recommend going for the swirl when it’s available—it’s such a good balance of flavors. The black sesame taiyaki was delicious, but the green matcha custard could’ve used a stronger matcha flavor. Overall, a fun and satisfying dessert stop I’d come back to!“

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

“Friday 5/30/25 After dinner desert at Che Hien Khanh with my friend Erwin. We ordered the Thai desert. It really hits the spot with the awesome taste full of high quality ingredients. We loved it.

They do not sell Liquor but they do sell/prepare Michelada Cups (Liquor store down the street). They accept Zelle & Hours vary some days.“

“(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“

“Absolutely some of the best donuts around. Great assortment with some very unique donuts. Very hardworking and friendly family and I’ve watched the grow and become successful as a family.

“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.“

“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!!“

“Everything is súper good!!!! 😋“

“Looking for a delicious snack after ice skating? Try this dessert food truck which specialized in super delicious churros. The desserts are affordable. Other snacks are also sold such as candy. They charge an extra $1 for credit card transactions.“

“This place was super clean. The staff were really nice. They were quick with my order. The food looked and taste so good one of my favorite spots now! Only odd thing is that on Google Maps the name is Mr. Steve donuts but in person it’s JNJ donuts so not sure what that’s about but overall it’s a great place! I got there glazed, donut twist, and they’re hot dog, which were both super good and packed with flavor!“

“My quest for vegan churros has ended in this quaint churro spot in South Gate. I’ve driven many times down Santa Ana and not seen this place - 4 months has this establishment has been open and it is now my spot for churros and horchata coffee. The lady is nice and welcoming . She made fresh churros for me and the taste was unforgettable. The fact they’re vegan makes it even more delicious. I’ll be back for more and more.“

“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.“

“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.“
