Creations Dessert Express

I’ve passed by this place a few times but never really caught my attention because nothing seemed interesting and it’s always pretty vacant inside. Decided to order the mango sago concoction because anything with mango and coconut together, I’m all for it. I also got a piece of mango mochi to try out. The drink/​dessert was mediocre at best and my favorite part how they made the sago fresh per order, which may take awhile but seeing how it’s always empty, you would probably never have to wait too long. The best part was probably the mango mochi with real mango bits inside. However, while it was good and glad I tried it out, it’s nothing I’ll miss too much and see myself wanting to go back for. Price was sort of pricey for what it is and there are better dessert options around.

review is for the crêpe
good ingrediants prepared well and with thought, fresh fruits
+ three twins ice cream, cant beat it!
the crêpe is nice and soft not crispy just how i like it.
delish! big enough to share or if you are a fattie eat it all by yourself.

My friends and i was going to get Tpumps but the very nice lady next door gave us some sample of their new flavor milk and honey tea and it was bomb! Long story short it was a pleasant visit and the store was lucky to have the staff that work this day!
This is a must go place!

This is what I ordered: one mango mochi and a double fruit smoothie.
The mango mochi is good like most of these Unilocalers said. For the price of $ 1, I was wishing that my mochi doesn’t take just one bite.
Moving on to the double fruit smoothie. I chose strawberry and honeydew. I just dont know what to say… it looked ok but it just taste like ice. I was kind of mad because i paid 4.5 for fucking ice… fucking ice. I would rather have gone to ⁷⁄₁₁.
I passed my drink to my friends and they said it was horrible too.
Luckily, the guy asked me about my honest opinion on the drink. I said it taste like ice and he said ill gladly remake it for you.
B for customer service. For a business like this, you can’t expect to fix everyone’s drink you mess up on. Thank god he remade it because I know for dam well I wasnt going to drink ice for the night. Btw It taste much better the 2^nd time.
Thanks alot for then second drink.

While waiting in line for TPumps, I noticed this store next door. Creations looked cute enough and the menu seemed to offer a variety of drinks and flavors that TPumps didn’t offer. I seriously wanted to give this place a shot so I went out of my way to get it one day.
The fresh fruit tea sounded very appealing since it was a super hot summer day. We opted for D1– jasmine green tea with choice of flavor. I chose watermelon while my boyfriend chose mango.
My boyfriend did not like his mango tea right away. To be frank, it tasted just like mango juice you buy in a carton from the store just mixed with tea and ice. Not a satisfying purchase.
Mine tasted like real watermelon pieces blended with tea. The fruit separated from the tea but it was generally very good and very refreshing. I thought this was an okay buy.
Overall, not too satisfied with the fruit teas but I’m curious about the ice cream milk teas. I really like Three Twins ice cream!

This place definitely beats Tpumps …
They never have any lines and all the drinks are made of real fruit.

My boyfriend and I came here to try their crepes from other Unilocaler’s reviews. It was suuper hot today so ice cream was appropriate for the weather. We were exploring San Mateo. This spot is unique and cute, with many artistic post its on the wall for decoration and for entertainment to pass the time while waiting for your dessert. They have two tvs, one for video games. I love the giant menu, lots to choose from. They have ice cream, crepes, juices, tea. My boyfriend ordered a strawberry crêpe with vanilla ice cream. I got the same one as him but with mango as fruit. We saw them prepare our desserts, everything was freshly made. Customer service is excellent here. The workers are very friendly. Our crepes were nothing special but yummy! Boyfriend says he think there could be better out there. We were happy customers though. Satisfied with their yummy crepes.
I came back later to try their strawberry milk tea. I have to say their crepes are better. The milk tea was sort of bland, but it satisfied my thirst.

Looks like a pretty popular spot and was crowded even late. The guys who work here seemed super nice and friendly. I asked them for a recommendation and they guided me to the sago mango coconut milk drink. It was all right and I guess an acquired taste. They also have crepes, shaved ice, ice cream and eggettes.
There was a group of drunk youngsters there. They were friendly drunks and were fun. They kept complimenting me which was nice, keep em coming people.

Found this hidden little gem between Cream and T Pumps. I’m not a huge sweets or dessert person, so when my brother took me here the first time, I didn’t order anything until I tried the mango and coconut milk drink. The drink is made out of fresh fruit. I could tell there was no powder used, only fresh fruit. So far, I’ve only tried the drinks and ordering everything in their top 10 list. Also order their fried chicken wings if you’re hungry! I’ll be moving on to desserts and crepes soon!

My friend and I checked out Creations after dinner and drinks! It’s a small space with limited seats, so we rushed in when we didn’t see any line.
The workers here were very nice and patient with us since we were first timers. They’ve got crepes, desserts, milk teas, and some snacks as well.
My friend ordered the mango sago and I ordered the E2 (gluttonous rice in mango and coconut milk w/​boba). We liked our desserts and finished it fast even after our huge meals. However you can tell the inconsistency with the ingredients from my order with my friend’s mango sago. They barely put any mango slices in hers, while mine was generously filled with mangoes. Other than that, this tiny spot offers a good selection of desserts for a good price!

Ken L. and I stopped by for dessert on a Sunday evening on our way home from SF. Had this place bookmarked for awhile and decided to check this place out. It’s a small place with not much inside in terms of decorations. They did utilize the wall but decorating it with colorful post-​its, allowing customers to doodle/​leave their mark.
The customer service here is great. They were patient and wanted to make sure we left satisfied with our order. Ken L. ordered the sago mango coconut drink. It tasted very fresh but was missing more of the fresh mango chunks too. I ordered the coffee ice cream milk drink. How can you go wrong with coffee and coffee milk ice cream (although you can select any of their three trends organic ice cream to blend with espresso). I was asked how I liked the drink before I left. I said it was good but could use more espresso. They then gave me a free espresso shot which made the drink better for this coffee addict here.
They also accept Five Stars here. I want to come back to try their crepes, Hong Kong style egg puffs, and other drinks!

I gave it a 4 star only because the watermelon sago was delicious. If it wasn’t for that, it’d probably be a 3 star. The people working there clearly didn’t know what they were doing. I asked for «mixed fruit watermelon with sago»…and they pointed at «watermelon and aloe». but anyways I didnt see any mixed fruit. maybe that was the way it was supposed to be. the people working also looked a little confused making my dessert because one of the guy had to ask the other guy what to do.
but overall, not a bad dessert place for fruity desserts: D

We walked by, tempted by the seemingly nonexistent line at T-​Pumps, only to be horrified when we saw hoards of youths packed inside, trying to keep away from the cold, so it was a no brainer to turn around and head into Creations to give it a shot.
What caught my eye was that they carried Three Twins ice cream (a favorite), and they had an awesome flavor selection. I decided to try their salted caramel ice cream milk tea, which sounded awesome. I noticed the drink maker toss a few small scoops of vanilla ice cream into a blender, but that didn’t make sense, as I ordered salted caramel, so I thought nothing of it.
When I got my drink, it was clear that they just used a caramel syrup in the drink, about ¼ of the drink was just foam, and it just tasted like a watery mess. It seems very deceiving and misleading to claim to use a well-​known brand’s products, have a menu listing items containing the various flavors of that product, and then just use vanilla and try to hide the fact by adding a cheap syrup.
Seriously disappointing drink, even without the ice cream lies, I won’t be returning.

New spot right next to T Pumps. Was in the mood for some dessert after some diner down the block. Grabbed some boba teas: green tea with boba and aloe jelly (boba was a bit hard, so either not fresh or not made right), watermelon slushie with aloe jelly (fresh and tasty). Also, I grabbed an ice cream crêpe (freshly made) with Three Twins Organic Ice Cream (I had the Milk Coffee flavor) with whipped cream and sliced bananas — good!
Counter seating on the walls, and HK cinema on the flat screen. Service was super friendly!

It’s probably the gluttonous American in me talking, but when my best friend suggested Asian desserts here in lieu of something more rich and caloric, I called him crazy. Now I’m crazy over the amazing Asian creations known as sago and eggettes.
We ordered the mango sago consisting of soft sago pearls, mango pudding, diced mango pieces, and condensed milk. Mixing it all together created an incredibly sweet, refreshing, and light dessert that satisfied you without stuffing you.
Eggettes are egg puffs that taste like waffles and look like bubble wrap. They’re crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Our chocolate eggettes came out hot and fresh. The chocolate flavor was very subtle and made me crave more sweetness, but they were nonetheless delicious and fun to eat.
If you haven’t already, give Asian desserts a try. I’m sure you’ll be delighted!

Creations is a one stop shop for all your picky dessert needs! They have boba drinks, eggettes, crepes, ice cream, and asian desserts like sago and pudding that are all prepared for you in their open kitchen.
I’m a huge mango fan so a lot of their menu items are pretty appealing to me. Their mango/​coconut milk drink w/​boba is creamy, light and not overly sweet. The mango sago w/​mango and coconut milk is delicious as well! Packed with mango flavor, great texture from the sago, creaminess from the milk, and chunks of extra mango on top. Not a heavy dessert, but still really filling.
I’ve never had anything like the ice cream milk teas they carry. The milk tea is blended with the Three Twins ice cream they carry (organic ftw!) and it makes for one rich milk tea that is quite delicious. The salted caramel milk tea is definitely worth a try!
Almost everything on the menu is under $ 5 and the wait is pretty short for whatever you order. To top it off, they have super friendly, personable service, which as a newer business, really helps them stand out. Great casual place to wander in to after a nice meal on B street. Check ‘em out!

D4 Strawberry Jasmine Tea w/​boba aka Sexy Juice because you feel sexy when you drink it… Ummmm this is how I know I’m too old for this crowd.
The jasmine flavor was definitely present and almost too floral for my palate. I felt at times I was drinking potpourri. Thankfully, the strawberry flavor and sweetener helped to counteract some of the jasmine notes. Boba had a good chew which meant they were fresh!
Overall Thoughts
I don’t get why people will wait over an hour for Tpump when literally right next door there is a good boba house!

My friend never had a crêpe so I knew I had to take her to get one. We decided to try Creations as opposed to my usual stop at Dessert Republic. The prices are cheap and the service is friendly. The word «Express» fits the place right as there’s just some stool seating along the wall, as it’s meant for grab and go. I got a mango crêpe with Three Twin’s Mocha ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. She got the fresh fruit crêpe with vanilla ice cream which consisted of strawberries, mango, and banana drizzled with chocolate as well. I paid for both of ours which was around $ 10 total; not bad at all. And they take card using Square. extra plus!
After a little while our crepes were ready and served cone shape. I do prefer them on a plate just because it’s less messy, but I understand why they do this. The mangos were sweet and the mocha ice cream was decadent enough to be enjoyed but not overpower anything in the crêpe. The crêpe was cooked how I like it too, soft but cooked through and not very crispy.
Can’t wait to come back for another crêpe or try their boba drinks, because that line for T pumps is ridic!

Definitely worth the visit. My friend and I were actually heading our way towards Dessert Republic but … then realized that it didn’t open until 5 pm. So… we had to find something else and Tpumps was certainly NOT an option.
My friend ordered the Mango Juice while I ordered a Mango Jasmine Green Tea and then we both shared the Sea Salt Caramel ice cream.
I’m not a fan of sea salt caramel so the ice cream was okay. I don’t really have any opinion of it.
However, mad props to them for the tea. They used REAL fruit in my tea so none of that syrup stuff that all the other boba places used. Not only that but it had some MIGHTY GREEN TEA FLAVOR! And? It was only $ 2.50! They are DEFINITELY giving you your worth. But the ONLY thing I did not like was that it auto came with boba and the cashier did not tell me that (didn’t say on the menu either) … sooo all I did was drink the tea. It also had like a huge amount of crushed ice in it so it was a weird texture… and the ice got in my way but it’s okay. I like the quality.
My friend’s mango juice? It was more like a mango slush and they used, once again, REAL fruit. They literally blended up the fruit, topped it off with more mango, and wahla. AWESOME. NO SYRUP.
Overall, I would DEFINITELY LOVE to see this place grow. Hoping to see more different things on the menu as well. The only negative is that. it took them a while to prepare our drinks but I guess if you’re using quality/​real ingredients, it’s okay: P
Give it a try. Way better quality than Tpumps for sure.

Came by for dessert the other night. Jason picked up when I called to find out when they close, midnight on a Friday. Service was excellent via phone and in-​person.
So it turns out that Creations Dessert Express is affiliated somewhat w/​Creations in SF. Creations SF used to be?!? affiliated w/​Hui Lau Shan SF…
This venue accepts credit cards and is part of the 5 stars to gain frequent buyer points.
This venue is next to TPumps where the line was out he door and all the way to a couple doors down!
The Mango Sago Coconut Milk Drink was mediocre at best. They ran out of sago so they added some boba?!? Flavor wise, it was okay. The mango has strands in it?!?
