Purple Dough - Woodside

My girlfriend and I visited this place, and it's a fantastic spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. The ube flan is absolutely incredible. The ice cream is also delicious—such amazing flavors! The flan had a layer of ube at the bottom, which was an unusual combination but surprisingly tasty. We are both really happy with our experience and will definitely be returning!

I love this shop, perfectly satisfies all of my ube cravings. The flavor is amazing !! The staff is always so friendly.

The staff was very friendly and the flan was delightful. I will definitely be returning!

I ordered an 8-inch custom birthday cake and was charged nearly $105 with tax, but I was really disappointed with it. For starters, they didn’t even provide me with a picture of how the cake would look. The cake itself was dry and tough, and the mango filling tasted overly processed—nothing like the fresh mango filling from Red Ribbon. The icing was overly thick and reminded me of Walmart’s frosting. I wouldn’t pay more than $45 for such a mediocre cake; I might consider up to $80 for a custom design. However, for anything above that, I could get some of the best 8-inch cakes from the Upper East Side for around $80. This place seems to excel only at their classic cupcakes and certain flavors, but when it comes to custom cakes, they fall short.

Dessert shop specializing in ube and south east asian inspired flavors. Ample seating with a spacious interior but the food and service was lacking. I was expecting the ube flan to be smooth in consistency so was a bit disappointed when it was eggy and dense. The ube cake component underneath the flan was a bit too sweet and the ube flavor wasn 't that pronounced. The coconut pandan latte was overly sweet even though I had asked for less sugar. I also enquired whether they used pandan syrup or powder and the server was rude and didn 't answer my question. She responded with pandan and coconut milk . Her attitude deterred me from asking further.
