Very busy but worth the wait! Mochi donuts are fresh and warm when they come out! Many flavors to choose from. They offer plenty of dessert options.

First time here. Been wanting to stop by, We were surprised to see that it was busy. Arrived 20mins before they close, you place your order on the self serve touchscreen. Staff make your order pretty quickly. They have alot of options for your order. We have to return and try something different. Soo many options. The slushie was really good.

What a fun place with interesting things to try! We will go back. Our donuts were yummy but I need to try the other things. The setup was kind of weird, ordering on a screen, and the menu a little confusing with hand written. Signs added here and there. I expect that with some time they'll get things better organized and work out the little kinks.

First time here and we came at a great time (1:00pm). We were the 1st customer out of 3 and our order came out fast! Service was great and we were able to order on the kiosk. Taro sugar donut was my favorite! Definitely will be back to try more items.

If you name your establishment "Dessert Lounge" I can't resist coming in. The first time, it was during their grand opening and the menu was limited so I was not impressed. I gave another try more recently and loved the mochi donuts. They're so trendy in urban areas so it's nice to have it in Watsonville. There is a variety of flavors to choose from, enough to make many palates happy. In general mochi donuts are gluten free (rice flour), but you'll have to ask if certain flavors may have gluten. From the box, it also listed the neighboring Pho Kitchen, so looks like same owner or a collaboration. I noticed a young gal enjoying her hot Cheetos corn dog--not something I would like, but she sure seemed to love it. The ordering process is via a tablet but you can also order with a live person. There are only a few seats in this small place, so we took our donuts to go. It was full on a weekend afternoon.

Ordered a corn dog and 2 donuts arrived at 1:40pm left at 2:46pm an hour for our order and no one was at the front assisting customers. Need to do a lot better. How are they not prepared apparently something was wrong with the first batch. They should have told customers so that new ones like us walking in wouldn’t be waiting we have stuff to do. Oh and no refunds? Think twice before coming in here.

I'll admit, I never had their corn dogs or other food items yet, but I really love the donuts. Pretty unique compared to regular donuts.

My friend took me to a dessert lounge in San jose so when I saw we had one in watsonville too I immediately took my mom. I love the mozzarella corn dog. I hope this place stays. Watsonville needs new food options ?

Our first time trying and the Korean corndogs were very tasty. The mochi donuts were fluffy and chewy at the same time. Would go again.

I visited primarily for the enticing half-and-half option, featuring a delightful combination of mozzarella cheese on top and hot dog on the bottom. I ALSO added nacho cheese and hot cheeto dust... Alongside that, I indulged in mochi donuts and ice cream. The mochi donuts surpassed my expectations--usually, they tend to firm up as they cool, but these remained soft even hours later. I opted for the Superman ice cream, a childhood favorite of mine that I hadn't found elsewhere until today. The experience was so enjoyable that I plan to bring my children next time. However, it's worth noting that the ordering process is through a kiosk, with most of the staff working behind the scenes in food preparation. It might not be everyone's preference, but the flavors and uniqueness make it a memorable spot for me. My total was $30 with change including tax..
I never tried these before and I love it! If you love cheese you'll definitely like these. I'll be going back for more.

4.5 stars. The service is great. Everyone has always been very nice and attentive. The drinks are always a hit, the donuts are amazing, I haven't had the snacks yet and the hotdogs are mostly great. First off. You can't go wrong with the mochi donuts. They're light and fluffy and the mochi makes them wonderfully chewy. They offer a wide variety of flavors all of which are great. The drinks are really good. If you've had milk teas and boba drinks you know what to expect The hot cheetos hotdog is where it's at. Great flavor, nice and plump, perfect. I'd just skip the potato hotdogs and cheese sticks. I could taste the freezer burn on them. But that's the only issue I've ever had there.

Found this spot across the way from our new favorite spot for Pho. There is an option to order ahead. Nice store front with limited seating. Cozy and on the smaller side. Service was quick and donuts were delicious. Nice to see other options for a snack. Much closer than driving to San Jose for our fix. Look forward to trying Korean corn dogs.

I'm so happy I ran into this place. I'm seldom ever in watsonville but I just had to give this place a try. It's absolutely adorable inside this shop. They have a beautiful flower wall where you can take selfies at. And the food and the drinks were absolutely tasty. I had the half and half classic corn dog and it was perfectly melty and crunchy and I loved all of the sauce options that they had for you to drizzle on top. On mine. I chose the spicy mayonnaise and the sweet and spicy sauce. For dessert, I ordered the milk cereal mochi donut. And although I have had better mochi donuts, this was actually still very tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also ordered the guava lychee fruit tea with lychee Crystal boba. I did forget to flavor the sweetness down as I prefer it to be at 0%. So the only suggestion I have is to ask your customers what sweetness level they would like. Nevertheless, it was still a very good drink. Since periodically I come here to work, I definitely will put this in my place to stop by whenever. I'm here in watsonville. And by the way, the service was absolutely wonderful. People were friendly and very helpful. Thank you dessert lounge for giving me a great experience at your cute little shop

They have some of the best corndogs in the 831. Despite all the negative reviews the food and atmosphere are awesome, yes their music is very mainstream but thats what draws it away from any other places, making it a fun environment for friends. The service here is great, received my order fresh and before about 10 minutes! The kids loved the donuts and bubble tea aswell!!!
