Tong Sui Desserts & Drinks (Palo Alto) 540 Bryant Street, Palo Alto, CA 94301

"Love their drinks and puddings. Especially the signature coconut, super fun to eat. The staff is also friendly. My only complaint is they don’t recycle the pudding class unless you wash it!!! I finished my pudding today and didn’t throw away the glass. Walked to the front and asked if they’d take it back because honestly why waste something perfectly intact?? They said no, we only recycle it back if you wash it at home!!! I mean suppose I wash it, wouldn’t you need to wash it again to ensure the safety of customers? They have a program where you bring 10 of these back for 1 free pudding. But honestly I’m not interested in that and I find it quite wasteful they wouldn’t take a perfectly fine glass back. I ended up taking it home and will use for anything really, I’m not going to waste it."

"I got the taro coconut pudding and it was pretty good, but kinda pricey for what it was. Although you do get to keep the glass jar with you. My friend got a pomegranate blood orange tea and he thought it was lacking in flavor and it was a little interesting with the cream cheese topping. It was also heavily concentrated in orange juice. There is ample seating space though."

"Tried the yam and the mango sticky rice. Honestly both were okay but I wouldn’t go back. It’s just a small jar of coconut pudding with other stuff. I don’t like that they slip dairy into most things. I expected just coconut in the coconut pudding. I feel like it should be advertised as a dairy-coconut pudding."

"One of the best desserts I have ever had!! We got the ear grey coconut pudding and the jasmine coconut pudding, and they were both super delicious. It’s creamy, and not too sweet. Another thing I loved about their business was that they do not use any plastic containers or utensils for the puddings. I will definitely go back."

"Tong Sui has healthier desserts that are pricier (~$10.00) for a pudding. The "Strawberry Coconut Pudding" has 2 slices of strawberries on top. I noticed that the taste of the strawberry flavor and the coconut flavor were too similar for me to distinguish. For next time, I'd try a different puddibg other than strawberry since there isn't a strong enough flavor difference between that and the coconut pudding. Otherwise, the consistency and smoothness was good."
