| - I have been here twice and both times I brought someone new to try the desserts and drinks out with me. Considering my two companions are not hardcore sweet fanatics but very hard to please, we all left blown away.
It is hard to find the location cause it's tucked away in the corner of a plaza. But I liked that it was not too crowded with restaurants and parking was not tight either.
The first visit we my bff and I ordered four things:
Lychee tea and mango tea: (so I wanted a tea with lemon and the only one on the menu like that was the Thai tea with lemon but I'm not a big fan of Thai tea. I asked the guy at the register and he recommended the mango tea to me)
Both were sooo refreshing! She agreed the lychee drink was probably one of the best she's gotten. I got the mango and it wasn't exactly thick like filipino mango juice, not too tart and sweet. Both drinks didnt have that artificial syrupy sugary aftertaste some places that use syrup have. There were also small pulps of fresh lychee and mango pieces in the bottom of our drinks! Both served ice cold too.
2/4 items ordered approved so far. Now moving onto dessert.
Green tea Mille crepe cake:
This was my first time ordering a crepe cake. I've had crepes before and I was expecting it to be a little heavy cause they are multiple layers of the crepe making up the crepe. Tasted the green tea sauce first which i think to be an anglaise. The green tea was creamy just like how i like it to be. Sometimes some places use green tea that have that jasmine taste but not in this case which i was relieved. The cake itself was melt in your mouth smooth and delicious. Perfectly well balanced, and again, had the right amount of sweetness. The matcha was subtle and not overpowering and the whipped creme wasn't super sweet either. Love love love. The sauce goes well with the cake and the accompanying fruits too.
3/4 items check! We held our breath for the final taste test to seal the deal--
Cheesecake:
(So i asked the guy if the tiramisu was made with ladyfingers and marscapone cheese like it should be and he said yes. There's only one other place in vegas we've gotten tiramisu that was made right and wanted to try this one made at an Asian cafe for authenticity. Most places will try to use cream cheese or cake is why. So we ordered tiramisu with her drink cause we couldn't decide between the cheesecake and tiramisu. What arrived at our table was the cheesecake lol but we were so happy with our drinks we didn't catch on the mistake at first)
Anyways! the bite of cheesecake was legit I tell you. She agreed it tasted like real NY style cheesecake. Nice and firm, not overtly sugar laden and was creamy but not too too heavy.
4/4 items check!
Halfway through the cheesecake we finally wondered what happened to the tiramisu. Realized he gave us the cheesecake instead. We were kind of full at this point but we were still interested in tasting it.
We went for the final stretch of approval. Would we get an authentic tasting tiramisu from an Asian cafe?? So we got it lol
Tiramisu:
And omg the first bite sealed the deal. The ladyfingers in the bottom was soaked in the right amount of coffee liquor. Marscapone cheese was set correctly. Overall, I didn't think it possible but yep, the tiramisu certainly passed! It was a whopping 5/5!!

Second visit with the bf late at night we got the passion fruit tea, had him try the green tea crepe cake and a honey toast with just vanilla.
He said the passion tea was amazing. I thought it was a little on the sweeter side but he said it was perfect. The honey toast he loved. He noted that it wasnt doused with honey like other places. The whipped creme was lightly sweetened and mellowed out the sweetness of the honey and ice cream. The crepe cake he complimented that it was no cake like he ever tried before and was astonished it was just layers of paper thin crepe and lightly sweetened creme.
Overall, yes it was another 3/3 approval from the both of us. Props for consistency!!
Service was great and the lady behind the counter was very friendly and answered our questions. She even let us know where they purchased all their cute serving utensils and dishware which are so cute I wish I could take them home lol. I will purchase them for sure now that i know where to find them :p
Plus free wifi! Pw is posted near the register, I think it was "sweetcoffee" if memory serves correctly.
Needless to say, we will definitely be back
