Cafe O'Dessert

Came here because the photos looked promising, unfortunately they were pretty dated/from over 3 years ago. Maybe COVID did a number on this location, because when we went in during lunch time the exterior was plastered with dessert posters and it was empty with a dog barking in the back. The Asian woman who was running the place informed us that the only options were the items up front & that they weren't making anything else (makes sense if business was slow), so I got a milk tea millefeuille crepe cake and left. Taste wise, it was nothing special. I felt that the crepes were honestly a little too thick for my liking, I know it's a small business so it's unfair to compare them to Lady M but it definitely affected the quality! Other reviews mention how their items/drinks & desserts aren't fresh, and I definitely felt that in mine tbh.

Erh....not open. I guess the whole store is on vacation. Maybe consider updating information on Yelp so that potential customers do not waste time and be disappointed. Lucky found another dessert type place. It was a quiet and slow day around UW area. This is stupid, have to write a certain number of characters so the review can posted. So reviews cannot be short and straight to the point, have to write an essay. Not sure about atmosphere, the place was closed.

ATMOSPHEREI'm not sure how busy this place gets because I went a bit before they were closing. WHAT DID I TRY?I tried their dulce de leche cake, their taro cake, and their chocolate tiramisu cake. They come in these cute little rectangular packages so even if you don't finish the cake, you can store it for later. All their cakes were very moist, super airy, and not overly sweet. My personal favorite was the dulce de leche cake. It was just the right amount of sweetness. The taro cake has a layer of taro between each layer thus giving the cake a starchy texture with every bite. I kinda like that they did that. It really brought out the taro flavor. I just wish it was sweeter. However, all the caSERVICEThe lady who helped me was super nice and sweet. If I remember correctly, she wasn't fluent in English but she still a very good job to answer all my questions and gave me recommendations! OVERALLI gave this lace 3.5 stars because I was disappointed with two of their cake flavors, but their service was good! I'll have to try their other items and review them again!

About 3.5 stars for me, but honestly I would come back here as well as take my parents here. My husband and I were randomly craving for dessert (specifically egg bubble waffles for the husband) and we decided to come over here after a quick yelp search. We found parking on 50th pretty easily and walked to Cafe O'Dessert. It was fairly easy to find. When we got in around 8 pm, there was nobody else in there. The owners were just finishing up their dinner, and a younger lady came out to the register to help us. Their menu had quite a bit of Hong Kong desserts. Everything looked really good, but we decided to just stick with the original egg waffle and a matcha egg waffle. We also got a side of condensed milk. They put it on the side for us so we could drizzle it on ourselves. The original egg waffle came out much sooner then the matcha. They were both very good (although, I still think Happy Lemon is better). The matcha flavor was light, the waffles were warm, a little denser then the other egg waffles I've had around Seattle. There other desserts also looked really good. The decor and atmosphere of the place was a little bland, service was average. But I did enjoy the food, and it's fairly close to where we live. I would come back and probably bring my parents if they ever come to visit.

Ginger Milk Custard $5.80: I was really in the mood for tofu pudding with ginger syrup, but I was able to find a spot near where we were that was still open. This was the closest thing. Even with extra ginger, I didn't find it gingery enough. It was a very mild flavor, but it was still pleasant enough to eat. Mango Shave Ice $8.80 includes 2 toppings: We got it with condensed milk and mango pudding. I find this type of shave ice more or less tastes the same to me regardless of where I get it. I do feel like condensed milk should be a default base free topping. Who doesn't like shave ice with condensed milk?!*****My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here.

Firstly, if you were here awhile back, this location is revamped, eliminating hot foods, now serving desserts with a bakery section only. The focus of their desserts are Cantonese/Hong Kong style. This is a big distinction vs. the other Asian sweet shops popping up in the area, many are Taiwanese. The warm purple rice with mango is amongst my favorite - execution and flavor. The purple rice is soft and a touch warm - perfect! The honey mango (SE Asian vs. Mexican) is currently in season which is the only way to eat this dish. The light coconut sauce is not as thick and sweet as Thai style, which is also a signature of the HK style. The combination is wonderful as every bite of the rice can be covered with the coconut sauce.Next up, the mango sago. The only thing you'll want differently is more. Some places cheap out this dish by replacing some of the mango sauce with cream sauce. That's a no no. The taste combination is perfect. Again, best to eat this when honey mango is in season.Next, ginger milk custard. This is a very traditional dessert. You have to like ginger to appreciate this. She does this dish wonderfully in the traditional manner - serving a dish of ginger sauce, pouring the warm milk into the dish of ginger sauce in front of you, covering it up, and letting the watery pudding form in minutes.Last, probably the most 'commercial', is the shaved snow, and it's very refreshing. Multiple flavors to choose from and one topping. I picked the blueberry and mango popping boba. Definitely try this place. There are very few true HK style dessert shops in the area, and this place's dishes are easily better than some I've tasted in the Bay Area.

Pineapple piece is so cute! Tastes so sweet just the way I expected to love. I wish I had grabbed more.

Love this place! They make the cakes so fast and they taste so good and fresh! Both times I've ordered the day off and gotten the cake a few hours later fully customized. The people working are very nice and accommodating!

Really happy I stumbled upon this place!I was looking for an "asian" cake where as it was "not too sweet" but still enjoyable. I ordered three 4-inch cakes: tiramisu, strawberry, and mango. All were very delicious! I was happily surprised with the mango - because it had sago inside the light and creamy frosting. Yum! Everyone at the birthday dinner enjoyed the beautiful-looking and tasty mini cakes.I also spoke with the owner(?), and she was very sweet and personable. Sharing that they have been around for 10 years now.I will definitely come back again for another birthday or event. Love the value and the cakes were perfect!

It was a bit confusing upon entering as I didn't see any menus. Luckily I knew what I wanted from previous yelp reviews and pictures. I ordered the durian pancake and egg tarts. I was given a mango pancake. Oh well, it was fresh and yummy. The egg tart pastry was light and flaky and the egg custard was perfectly sweet. I would've given this a 4 star but because of the order mixup I felt it was a 3 star overall experience.
