These crazy creations have taken social media by storm with everyone posting mouth-watering photos making the hunt for them part of the appeal.

1. Miss Dessert

Inspired by desserts from China, Vietnam, Malaysia and other Asian locales, Miss Dessert offers a unique menu of sumptuous sweets. Try authentic desserts like sago, a sweet pudding mixed with such fruits as coconut nectar, mango and durian; yoji nectar with green tea ice cream; and vanilla snow served with Thai purple sticky rice. And don’t leave without having a signature “pancake,” a delicate dough pocket filled with mango or durian. Miss Dessert also serves a variety of drinks, from milk tea and fresh fruit tea, to cheese tea, a popular drink topped with cheese cream.

2. The Street Boba Cafe

These days, you can find a boba tea house just as easily as you can a find an ice cream spot. But when it comes to variety, The Street offers an impressive assortment of drinks in a rainbow of flavors. Try a fruit smoothie bursting with fruit, from strawberry, peach and banana, to kiwi and pineapple. For a refreshing slushy, try passion fruit, lychee or green apple. You can also get a milk smoothie in taro, red bean, or coconut. Coffee and tea lovers will enjoy the chai tea, coffee, mocha, and Thai tea smoothies. For a finishing touch, add your favorite boba or jelly.

4. Roll Avenue Ice Cream Rolls

In a place where we take our cool treats seriously, it’s refreshing to see a fun new spin on traditional ice cream make its way to Mesa. Tucked inside bustling Mekong Plaza, Roll Avenue specializes in Thai rolled ice cream, made with frosty rolls (rather than scoops) of ice cream packed into a cup and topped with all manners of sweet extras, from Oreos and graham crackers, to fresh fruits and popping bobas. Try such creations as the Macho Matcha (green tea ice cream topped with blueberries and Pocky sticks) and the Romantic Bangkok (Thai ice cream topped with a wafer roll and condensed milk).

Located in the Asiana Market, the popular French-Asian bakery serves a wide assortment of pastries, cakes, pies and breads, all baked fresh on site. In the filled-to-the-brim display case, you’ll find buttery croissants nest to twisty Korean doughnuts, and flaky palmiers next to flavored rice dough “chewy sticks.” If you’re on the go, don’t leave without a fluffy loaf of pan bread, or the red bean or black sesame sweet buns.
