Dessert Kitchen

I was here New Year’s Eve with some some friends and it was packed with there being only one table left. We immediately got cups of water, silverware, and menus. The menu has an extensive list of sweets from ice cream all the way to crème brûlée! There is even a page with savoury foods.
I ordered the Pink Lady which was amazing! I finished it almost immediately only to order another ice cream treat. I forget what it’s called but it had chocolate waffer barrels sticking out of it and once again was delicious.
The bill was relatively cheap and we all had a great time. The staff was very friendly and always ready to take your order.

Came at 1am, surprised they still open that late. Their dessert was average, nothing you can complaint about. However, they dont have any wow factor to surprise me.

Has the purple glutinous rice with coconut milk and it was too watery, not sweet enough. The green tea «hor fun» they made was too bitter, maybe their green tea powder was too strong. They do a better job with their snacks than dessert, which I find was a disappointment. I have a sweet tooth, so I gave this place maybe 3 or 4 tries, but their desserts don’t WOW me anymore.

Staple asian dessert in Markham, which is a treat. The place is very cute and unfortunately very small. Needless to say, this place is LIT in the summer. Every asian in markham is piling out of those inconvenient doors to dessert kitchen. (the doors are messed. the first one is push and the 2^nd one is pull. they’re too close to each other and they touch when both are open at the same time. jeez)
The desserts are okay. some of them are so good and others are ‘wtf, you’re charging people for this??’ The egg pudding in the egg shells are so cute and definitely yummy, but a dollar each?! Try 50 cents instead. It’s definitely not worth a dollar for 2 bites of pudding in an egg. The portions are very small! Definitely ¼ of a size smaller than most asian desserts. My fave is the mango ho fun. so filled with mango, sago and their specialty– ho fun! It’s this chewy noodle-​like thing in the desserts, and I love the texture of it! I really like asian desserts because they’re not sweet at all, and most of them are made through fruits. They also have a durian series *_​_​_​* drooool. Mango durian sago. oh goooodness! I definitely want to order EVERYTHING.
Prices are high, considering that everything is so small and can be made so cheaply. Not going to lie, still good though.
+ Service is bad. when it’s busy, they’re running around like chickens with a head cut off. Last night, it was only us two in the whole place and the girl working stood behind the counter the entire time, not looking up from her phone. It took us over 4 minutes of raising our hand and saying ‘excuse me’ and she still couldn’t hear us. We ended up having to go up to the counter to pay and apparently I ended up ‘scaring’ them because I came out of nowhere. LOL. not a fan of that!

Another one for today! So came here around 7pm and there’s no sitting down blessssss. Although it was my gf and I the service was a meh haha. We ordered the egg pudding which is heavenly, but not worth $ 1 for one. Then ordered the mango molten and mango fever, which were quite good actually. My mango molten I thought would of been a mango cake but it was pudding with mango chunks. Kind of sad it wasn’t actual cake :(. Paying for the bill took a while as the waitress didn’t look up for some time. and one of the people preparing the food came to us instead. Took maybe 3 – 10 mins to get attention while being the only ones there haha.

After having a great experience at some other local Markham restaurants, Dessert Kitchen was a little underwhelming. The service was good, but the food left a lot to be desired. We tried a lot of their offerings from the egg pudding, green tea molten cake, and mango desserts, but it just left a lot to be desired. They also have a wide range of teas to choose from as well. The tea shop is small and only has a limited number of tables. Overall, I think there are some better options available.

Cozy, cute little desserts shop very reminiscent of those pristine, visually appealing Taiwanese cafés geared for lovey-​dovey teen couples and giggle hoards of high schoolers. Tucked between two shops in a Markham strip mall on Highway 7, Dessert Kitchen lives up to the expectations created by its own name. The menu offers both desserts and light Taiwanese-​inspired meals, but the true stars are obviously the sweets.
The extensive desserts offering ranges from green tea melts to sponge minicakes to durian (!!!) specials, but many come to DK for the egg pudding. At $ 1 an egg, filled with a pudding that tastes like egg-​tart, there is no guilt in this sweet palate pleasure. 6 egg puddings are enough for most appetites! The puddings are served in the eggshells – amazing presentation.
For the most picky of us, there is a build-​your-​own-​dessert section, that allows customers to combine yogurt or ice cream with the toppings and the syrup of their choice.
Service is quick and polite. Note: CASH ONLY.
Would come back and order a dozen of these egg puddings, if it wasn’t for the long commute fr downtown Toronto. There is public transit that stops close to the mall – Markham’s VIA bus system.

Visited this location after dinner the other day. Wasn’t impressed, but I probably had high expectations. I was excited because a couple of friends said that this place had amazing deserts.
When we arrived, we sat at a corner seat. It wasn’t that bad, except that the opening into the kitchen was by my head. It was extremely annoying.
Wanted to try the assorted fruit in a watermelon shell, but it was $ 14.00 for it. Maybe I’m cheap, but $ 14.00 for some cut fruit in a watermelon shell wasn’t all that worth it. Went for the mango dessert. Was disappointed.
Pros.
Egg pudding was unique. It was in an egg shell
Open late
Cons
Seat was crappy, kept getting annoyed by the window into the kitchen
Mango dessert/​pudding wasn’t very good.
not impressed with the service.

Place was busy around midnight Saturday. The place is very small seating for 20 – 25 ppl max. The desserts we ordered were the egg pudding $ 1 each was really good these are supposedly limited so we got a set of 12 was right on spot loved it. The seaweed fries were simply delicious it was overpriced with the small portion. The dessert we ordered were mango supreme which was OK nothing wow the mangos they had were not in season so it had a sour taste. Also ordered mango sago which was different for me the taste was very fresh but no flavor couldn’t taste the mango, green tea or even the watermelon syrup. Overall the desserts didnt wow me much the pricing is a bit higher only thing I’d come back for is the egg pudding !!!

Our last visit here was over a year ago thanks to the many dessert place options in Markham! We arrived around 8pm on a Sunday and the place was empty. DH went in first to check if they’re open, lol! Turns out we were just early as by the time we left the place was almost full.
We had the a) Maltesers mochi — nice, chewy mochi with a Malteser in the centre. 8 on a plate, great for sharing :) The mochi weren’t even in size though. b) Black sesame soup — too sweet and too thin :© longan and goji berry hot drink — good! d) green tea molten cake — lovely molten centre but the cake itself was on the dry side. It goes well with the vanilla ice-​cream and red bean that its served with as the green tea flavour was a little bitter.
Service was quick. Prices on the high side. Not sure if we’ll be back soon unless it’s for the specialties like the hor fun and panna cotta.

Some people would be thrilled to have their kitchen filled with desserts, so I would definitely give their name a thumbs up! Overall, good service with unique desserts makes this kitchen a good choice.
One thing I do like about this dessert joint is that it is open late, everyday. Sometimes you just want dessert, but places close around 10pm. That makes planning difficult, so Dessert Kitchen definitely has 1 up on the other places around.
Another plus is that they have very unique options. Not all of them are that great, but it is definitely something that makes this place worth visiting. The dessert noodles are extremely interesting, but don’t taste like much. They have some really good snacks, as their fries are super crispy, just the way I like them. The Green Tea Molten Cake was really good, paired with some ice cream and red bean.
Service is pretty good as the space is very small, but once the tables are filled, it may be quite difficult to get a seat. So if you’re looking for some Asian inspired desserts on the more unique side of things, head over!

Dessert Kitchen has always been the go-​to place for me after a dinner out with friends. It’s pretty full on weekends in the evening and the restaurant is small, but they have great desserts and a lot of mango flavored treats which are super delish. Their egg pudding (which is really cheap!) and mango rolls are fantastic.
The only two issues I’ve really had with this place is that they’re always busy when I visit (in the evening on weekends) so on a few occasions the server forgot to ask for our orders or took a while time to get back to us. Also their serving sizes for the ho fun desserts are on the tinier side. But the food is amazing!

The desserts are pretty good. Green tea molten cake was the best item I tried that night. The rest of the desserts are all solid choices. The staff are super slow and not very attentive. Its a smaller place and can fill up. The SOLE washroom was cluttered with a lot of useless stuff as someone else mentioned. Would come again if no other options available.

So many little desserts to try on the menu. It took me forever to decide what to get but we ended up getting the following:
passion fruit drink $ 3.99 — okay only
yam and tapioca dessert in sweet coconut milk served cold $ 4.99 — nice light dessert
crème brule $ 6.25 — tasted really good and loved the caramelized sugar on top
and finally what can best be described as what look like green noodles with red bean mochi and a sweet coconut milk served cold $ 5.99 — tasted good when you combine all the individual items into one single spoon full.
Everything tasted good. Even though the portions were a decent size for dessert I found myself wanting more.
The place is on the small side so the tables are placed very close together. Its so close that you are pretty much dining with strangers and hearing all their conversations. Both tables beside us spoke Mandarin so I didn’t understand jack all. Too bad cuz I’m pretty sure I would have heard some good stories from the way they were chatting it up.

I’m crazy about this dessert place!
I’ve had dessert here sit-​in twice and take out once. All three times, the desserts were good quality and very tasty. Their ho fun is a must have, same with their egg custard desserts. I would stay away from the fries, though. They are known for desserts anyway!
I always order the mix and match: mango sauce, mango fruit, and ho fun. The coconut ho fun is chewy, crunchy, and delicious. I like the green tea ho fun more, though, because it has a green tea taste but also coconut taste at the same time, as they’re made from young coconut. The entire bowl is a good portion, and it’s not too heavy or filling at all which makes it a perfect sweet ending to your meal. Tip: avoid the ice cream, it’s the low quality kind that comes from a giant tub.
Their egg custards are also very tasty. They are so cute — made in an egg! I could eat 2 – 3 in one sitting. But if I’m having a dessert like the mix and match too, I will only have one. It’s super creamy and yummy!
Their mochi maltesers are very interesting. It’s a creative concept — but I think they make their mochi too thick. And it tastes exactly what you’d think it tastes like. Still a cute dessert, I would give it as a unique gift for someone who doesn’t come to this area often!
I also tried their seaweed flavour fries once. I would not get it again — although it is only $ 3.99, they came very hard like they were double fried, and not good at all. Reminded me of Costco fries but harder! And flavouring was so so.
I personally have not encountered their poor service as I’ve read in other Unilocaler’s reviews. I find that the waitress always brings over stuff when needed, and we always got water without asking.

Pretty good dessert place. Everything on the menu called out to me. I give it one less star because I’ve had better sago/​mango at other places.
Definitely try to egg pudding! It’s only $ 1 for one so don’t hesitate to try something different if you haven’t before ! It’s pretty cool too!
Had to try the mango molten $ 5.99 because who wouldn’t?! Mango flows out of the damn dessert… so yes of course I would. The outside jelly was not so sweet but when paired with the mango liquid, it was pretty good! I probably wouldn’t order it again after the initial phase of OH WOW! But definitely not bad at all.
Did the «make your own» dessert. Chose grass jelly and sago as my base (extra $ 1 for more than one base, fruit or sauce), mango as my fruit and mango sauce. All for $ 4.99 + $ 1 for extra base. It was deliciously sweet. Definitely not enough grass jelly (it was like a spoonful) but at least the mango was sweet even if it is winter. I’ve had better, but this is definitely a dessert to order when you’re there.
Small restaurant so I can see it getting busy at night on the weekends … Tonight was slow just us and another couple. Staff is friendly and prompt. Would come back!
