After a semi-uneventful brunch date in Ditmas Park area, came back to our hood for some much needed sweet to totally "counter" that massive saltiness still lingering from my brunch food. In another review…
Thank you "Just Desserts" for reviving my taste buds and allowing me to feel human again!
We had 2 desserts:
5 stars for the Mango Pamelo Sago & Grass Jelly – loved every bit, with no Sago left behind! It was not overly sweet (some places add extra syrup…), perfect balance of sago (good!), mango (good!), palmelo (good!) and grass jelly (hellya yes!) – totally delicious!
3.5 stars for the coconut ice w/ mango and Thai black rice… I had high high high hopes for this because 1) what the heck is Thai black rice? Sounds awesome! 2) mango & shaved ice flavored by coconut? Bring it! So… When I actually got this one… It was… Huh?!?! Then after I tasted it.. It was Meh… Still like the mango though! This one was a total let down: black rice – tasted like glue paste… Hard to spoon and even harder to eat. The coconut shaved ice – found a few big chunks of ice that just cannot be eaten.
Overall a wonderful 4 stars experience! Friendly service, quick, spacious in dessert shop standards and fairly priced for sizable desserts. Will definitely return to try other nom-nom yummy treats!
Happy feasting fellow Yelpers!
Very cute cafe/dessert spot. Colorful walls, furniture, and even their plates were bright and cheerful. Loved it as soon as I walked in.
After Christmas dinner, we walked in, pleasantly surprised to see so many places open on the holiday. But then again, Chinese establishments often stay open on every day of the year! Very warm inside, but considering it wasn't too cold outside and was humid and rainy, it felt overwhelming and uncomfortable. My husband and I felt hot and sweaty, with an overall stuffy quality to the air. It made us so sleepy.
My entire family more or less used the bathroom because the restaurant across the street was so dirty. This bathroom had plenty of soap and paper towels, as well as decent toilet paper that didn't break just as you are trying to dispense it. A big bathroom, longer than wide. Clean overall — no greasy or dirty wet spots on the floor and with the bright lighting in there, nothing can be hidden. They put in a lot more effort into the decor of the place compared to the bathroom, which is understandable. But a clean bathroom that has some thought put into it can sometimes be a nice touch. Just saying.
The two girls taking our orders were young and friendly, spoke accented English (plenty of non-Chinese folks came by and were able to order easily). They got a little frazzled when we were ordering, because my family/relatives tend to talk over one another, and there are too many things being thrown out. Ultimately, because of this, they forgot to add my water bottles to the order — we were wondering why we never got them.
It's not the fastest service. There were two girls but as we were ordering, both of them were there. So I think one girl may have been new? Taking orders is a one person job, and while that's happening, the other person could actually start taking out some of the pastries, plating them, etc. It would be more efficient. It seemed like they did everything one at a time, or had to double check a lot of things. And it wasn't exactly busy when we ordered — at that time we were the only ones inside!
Tiramisu — amazing and fresh tasting. Every forkful felt like I was cutting into fluffy and decadent. Not sure if they made it on premise or got it from elsewhere, but it was good quality, so no complaints here!
Vanilla macaron — tasty, soft, and moist, but a bit cold which could have made the inside chewier than it needed to be. I am used to them being room temperature, but maybe this was a way to preserve freshness?
Plenty of drinks (teas, coffees, and blended coffees) available. My aunt loved her frappucino type of drink, and another aunt had some green tea ice cream. An abundance of sweets and variety here. Several tables in the front, and to the back, as well as high chairs for tables mounted to the wall. They encourage people to stay and linger, better than throwing you your drink and dessert and nudging you out the door. We stayed for an hour or longer, easily, and other than the heat, it was pleasant. By the time we left, all the tables in the front were full and others were standing around.
Ordered the Thai gluttonous rice with toddy palm. This was my first time having toddy palm. It's similar in texture to a harder coconut slice, but it isn't as sweet. The gluttonous rice had a nice semi-sweet milk-like flavor that I enjoyed.
The place was playing k-pop music videos and is very spacious. Overall it's a decent Asian dessert spot.
Came by here to pick up some desserts.. We ordered the black sesame with peanut balls (u can only choose one flavor but they give u 3 balls). We also got the almond paste with black glutinous, mango pomelo w grass jelly and the mango pancake.
The black sesame w peanut balls was pretty good. Its served hot, and when u bite into the balls there are crunched up peanuts inside which complements the sesame paste very well.
The almond paste w black glutinous was ok.. It isnt as sweet so if u like sweets u should ask them to sweeten it more.
The mango pomelo w grass jelly wasnt sweet enough neither. The pomelo actually tasted slightly dried as if its old and not fresh..
The mango pancake lastly was not good at all. Its mango flavored skin (barely any flavor tbh) and theres mango puree w whipped cream inside.. It wasnt worth it to get that becos it didnt taste anything special.
Overall, id only recommend gettin the hot desserts here and if ure really havin a sweet tooth u should def ask them to sweeten it.
I came here with friends and my boyfriend after my birthday dinner about two months ago and was excited that Just Desserts expanded their menu.
All of the new menu items sounded amazing! Some of the new menu items available are: mix fruit mango sago, strawberry with ice cream, Matcha red bean pudding, and much more.
My boyfriend ordered the mango sago with grass jelly. I typically don't eat mango because I've had reasons to believe that I may be allergic, but when I tried this I didn't have any allergic reaction. I liked this dessert and it was full of mango deliciousness, but I liked mine a lot better.
I ordered grass jelly with mixed fruits (watermelon, mango, and strawberry). I enjoyed this dessert very much because it was cool, refreshing, and absolutely delightful. I would definitely get it again.
I really like the new design and plates/bowls that Just Desserts use now. It adds a nice modern touch to the dessert shop. I'm very glad they've made changes because it just makes me want to return here again for even more desserts.
I prefer this new dessert spot over several other places in Bensonhurst, the interior is very simple, they do takeout and it's a very convenient spot for people in the neighborhood to grab a seat anytime. I love sticky rick in coconut flavored anything, totally recommend for any coconut lover to try them! They open kind of late at night, that's a plus, and they are fairly quickly about their takeout orders, when I do takeouts I generally order more than five, whether by phone or in person, I'm out the door so quickly before I get irritated.
Very spacious and warm in this dessert place. The moment you walk in you get a blast of heat. That was really nice to feel especially during the colder nights. There are little kawaii designed of food as wall decorations and pictures of their menu items. They have a showcase that contains, tiramisu, greentea sweets, macaron, and different types of cake. Their menu is super easy to read in English and in Chinese. The price is fair but the flavor wasn't too great.
I've tried the red bean sago, mango sago, and the mango shaved ice. Unfortunately, none of them tasted decent. The red bean sago, was very watery. The mango sago had mango pieces which was nice and probably the best one of the three that I've tried because it actually tasted like real mangoes. The mango shaved ice was such a HUGE disappointment. It was so artificial. There was a very big difference in taste between the mango sago and the mango shaved ice. It was so syrupy and sweet. I didn't enjoy it at all.
Came here on a saturday night because I'm just really craving for some chinese dessert.
I ordered 2 types of dessert. I got the cold coconut with taro & I add some kiwi on it. The second one is the hot black sesame paste & peanut butter ball. I got it for to go. Sad to say I never liked any of the desserts that I ordered. The coconut with taro & kiwi taste okay but the kiwi in their doesn't really blend in with the coconut & taro. The black sesame paste taste bad. I tried it & didn't liked it. Its smells bad too.
All in all I don't think I'm going back.
