Asian-inspired desserts like crepe cake, milk toast, and bingsu
"U:Dessert Story not only sells beautiful bingsu — that South Korean dessert of fluffy shaved ice topped with fruit, boba, and condensed milk — but it also serves layered crepe cakes made in flavors such as Thai tea, and pandan. Explore the menu further, and there’s also a strong selection of cheesecakes, such as a recent uji matcha Basque burnt cheesecake. The move is to bring some friends to the shop to sample a selection of slices (there are samplers available), but if you’re also looking to take a whole cake home, this cafe does that as well." - Becky Duffett
"Okay, U:Dessert Story might be an Instagrammable cafe in the Castro, which claims to have “the most aesthetic desserts in the Bay.” It’s from the same team behind brunch spot Kitchen Story, of bougie bacon fame. But the followers sincerely love it and say the desserts aren’t just pretty, they’re delicious IRL. They’re dedicated to Asian desserts, like Korean snow ice, Japanese mochi waffles, and Thai tea lava toast. Surely you’ve spotted the viral crepe cake, with more than a dozen layers, and the prettiest drips in town. And it’s possible to reserve a table for your next cute dessert date." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"U :Dessert Story is the next level of Asian desserts--influenced by Korean, Japanese, and Thai passion. Our desserts are homemade in our kitchen with love using the highest quality ingredients."
"Grab the cone at Make Room for Dessert or at one of the Big Nate’s BBQ locations on the main or upper concourse." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The Mission’s cult-favorite Asian dessert cafe, U: Dessert Story, has expanded to the Marina with Japanese brunch in a beautifully appointed dining space. Order gooey omurice, a runny egg omelet that spills onto rice below, and drinks like matcha lattes and cheese tea." - Luke Tsai
