Dessert Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“We stopped by on a busy Saturday evening and ordered the coconut breeze and the mango mochi coconut pudding. I like how both items taste fresh and not too sweet. The mango is ripe and sweet. The drink had a lot of textures and is well balanced.“

“Walked over for a treat after lunch at a nearby cafe. And was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. I got the chocolate with Nutella. So good. Lines were much shorter than other ice cream spots in the area and it was a nice walk to get there.“

“I love Tong Sui!! Glad there's one near where I usually get my car serviced. Stopped by for the first time and they got A LOTTA flavors to try!! I love jasmine flavors and this summer they have it as a Jasmine Coconut Pudding!! Hope it'll stick around all-season instead!! Servicer is super nice and attentive as well!! Will come back!!“

“Crumbl cookies are famously large and incredibly sweet. While many of their flavors are enticing, I'd love to see some less sweet options introduced to balance the richness.

Peanut Butter Crisp featuring Butterfinger (4.5/5): This cookie delivered on its promise with a great peanut butter flavor and a satisfying crunch from the Butterfinger pieces. A truly enjoyable fusion.

Cake Batter (4/5): This was less a cookie and more a mini cake! The confetti cookie base was delightful, and the cream cheese-like frosting added a nice touch, but it was exceptionally sweet.“

“Traveled from Texas and loved my experience . Enjoyed the customer service and of course enjoyed my Sandia Agua and freshly cut fruit… highly recommend 🤩 🍉!!!“

“absolutely love Tong Sui! The coconut pudding is a must-try—light, silky, and so addictive—and their signature Coco drinks are refreshing and unique. Every time I visit, the drinks are consistently high quality and the service is warm and friendly. Definitely a spot worth coming back to again and again!“

“I try to come here every Saturday before pickleball. Very flavorful cakes and rolls. I definitely recommend this place to everyone Cakes and Rolls are not too sweet. It's Perfect! Drinks are delicious too. The atmosphere is nice with nice music. Cute place for dates“

“I wish that I had taken more photos, but I literally forgot because we devoured these phenomenal desserts so quickly that I didn’t even have time to think about taking more photos. Nidhi is a magician. She makes the best baklava we’ve ever had. Seriously epic. Highly recommended.

Adding to my previous review. I remembered that I was hiding a couple of vegan versions of Nidhi’s desserts, and had to really fight the urge to eat them before capturing a couple of photos. But this is a really difficult task. Food this good is impossible to photograph because you just want to experience it.

Often, baklava can feel really heavy, while being too sweet. Not these. They’re so light - I could just keep eating them.“

“Fluffy bite-sized desserts in a cafe setting. Some flavors are limited.

I had the Hot Dog Cocohodo. It reminded me of a fluffy pigs in a blanket.

Service was quick and got drinks and food in <5 min.

Atmosphere is cafe style. Bathrooms are available with 1 male and 1 female stall.

Overall, go early! There were only 7 hot dog cocohodos by Fri evening.“

“One of the best dessert places I've ever been to! What's more is that the whole menu is mango-centric!! Nothing can beat this theme! Loved this place so much, we went multiple times with all the family. Every dessert idea is unique and one can't get enough. I'm not a big fan of the mochi balls, but kids seemed to love it ! Every bite of mango was fresh and juicy & the store was sprawling with ceiling- high of mangoes which eventually end up delighting you in your lip-smacking dessert.
All I can say is - I cant wait for Hui Laura Shan to start a storefront in Portland, OR!“

“I absolutely love this place! my go to is the Oreo milkshake with a chocolate/banana crepe on the side.. everyone is always so kind as soon as you walk through the door :) Would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a sweet delicious snack near Menlo Park. The best thing is that they have two locations!“

“Overall, I liked the “macarons“ at this cute little take away counter. I use the quotes because these are not your classic macarons. They’re like macarons on steroids – bigger creamier, and semi-open-faced. These confections are good in their own, right - rich, creamy, and not too sweet. I tried the tiramisu flavor. But don’t come here looking for a classic macaron, which has a crisper cookie base and a chewier, more flavorful filling.“

“Service was fast and friendly. It was very clean and safe inside. The lime ice cream was yummy, right amount of sweet and tart flavor. My husband loved the Uchepos too but didn’t get pics of either because they ate too fast. I got the fresas con crema and added mango to it and it was sooo good.“

“The bingsoo is so yummy! People are so friendly.“

“Most excellent waffles - they were actually crunchy and tasty, not chewey and bland (my usual experience with waffles in the US). Service was fairly fast, but we did go when it wasn't busy, so YMMV on that front.

No place to sit and eat - it's takeout only.“

“I really liked the Black Sesame Taiyaki a lot 😋 — it has that perfect mild sweetness! The Matcha flavor is just as good, both balanced and not overly sweet 🍵🖤.

I love Somi Somi mainly for their creamy, rich texture and light sweetness, which makes every bite feel so smooth and satisfying 🍦✨.“

“the variety of desserts and drinks they offer is incredible, and everything I tried was delicious. I especially loved their bubble tea – perfectly sweetened and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The atmosphere of the shop is cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items from their menu. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a sweet treat!“

“Yummy dessert! I highly recommend their milk shave ice and the strawberry. 🍓🍧🍧🍧🍧“

“Sweethoney Dessert in Foster City offers a sweet retreat for fans of Asian-style confections, especially those drawn to Hong Kong-style recipes. The menu leans heavily into fruit-forward creations like mango pomelo sago and coconut milk pudding, with textures ranging from chilled jelly to smooth herbal soups. Many of the desserts are freshly made in-store, and presentation is thoughtful—perfect for sharing or photo-worthy moments. The café feels cozy but modern, with seating best suited for small groups or solo visits. Peak hours can get busy, especially after dinner, so ordering ahead or visiting mid-afternoon tends to be easier.

While service is usually efficient, staff interaction is minimal and seating turnover happens fast. Parking is shared with neighboring businesses, and restrooms are available only outside the café in the plaza. Pets aren’t allowed indoors due to health codes, but leashed dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables. If you’re looking to enjoy the desserts picnic-style, nearby parks like Marlin or Boothbay are within a short drive. Overall, Sweethoney strikes a nice balance between traditional flavors and clean, accessible presentation—earning a solid 4/5 rating.“
