Dzui's Cakes and Desserts

(Super late review from Feb 2024) My sister and friends were in town from Dallas TX and wanted to try all the popular spots in San Jose. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the durian dessert at this place and have tried a bite from a friend’s purchase and it was bombbbb! Decor is pretty cute, resembles local spots in Vietnam. We ordered a drink (pictured), I honestly can’t remember what it was. I just remembered it was so watered down and just gross. The snacks and desserts on the other hand were pretty good! Desserts aren’t pictured, forgot to take pics. We ordered Viet style há cảo (har gow), and fish balls. They definitely got the flavor right and reminded me of my childhood in Saigon. If I’m in the area, I would probably stop by for the desserts and snacks. Bottom line: Great dessert and snack flavors

This review is way overdue! Dzui has been one of my go-to spots in San Jose for years and it never disappoints. The toasted chili bread and mixed rice paper are packed with flavor and so addictive. For drinks, I love the peach lemongrass tea and Hambalang milk tea. Super refreshing and unique. The decorations make you feel like you’re snacking back in Vietnam, with a cozy street-food vibe that’s nostalgic and fun. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and consistently amazing food. Highly recommend!

Great variety of treats! Highly recommend. Also a nice chill atmosphere.

Happened in this place and is it ever busy. We ordered the fried quail eggs(yum!!), chicken gizzards (yumm, no smell!!) These two taste best fresh. We also ordered a ton of other things but the Panda honey comb was my fave. I think about it. It was busy, packed although all Vietnamese. Varying groups socializing (young n old alike). It had an awesome energy this plan. I plan to go again.

Have heard of this dessert shop for some time and finally give it a try. Cons: the bakery items are not labeled so you can only choose based on the looking; SA can not introduce the food well. The item has abstract names but they can only give very basic main ingredient introduction. Pros: they sells seasonal bakery items like moon cakes; They also have meat pie similar to Chinese 鲜肉月饼(Taste is a little different though); They have meat floss rolls similar to (肉松卷) but used cream cheese as filling, not bad. We also get the coconut dessert drink, have no idea what’s inside but it tastes good.

The place was clean, the food was prepared quickly, and was well worth the travel. Ended up getting the tofu and corn milk. The tofu was sweet but not too sweet. The corn milk texture was consistent. Friend got the sushi bread and loved it. It has some kind of dry shredded pork like filling inside of it. If you are not a huge dessert person and prefer milk teas, they have those and regular fruit teas available as well. The menu is versatile and the food is good, I have no complaints.

Good dessert with reasonable price. I wish they sell pineapple cookies in box.

Nice shop with many vietnamese/chinese desserts and pastries. Love the baked pastries with durian. It is chinese pastry. I have a salty egg inside. I don't know the name. It is round. I also love the soursoup drink. It is so refreshing. There are plenty of items to choose from. It also has plenty of seating areas.
