One of the best things about Los Angeles is the way different cultures come together over two things \u2014 food and being super attractive \u2014 so crafting glamorous, delicious desserts are a natural for the city. And while Asia has been leading the world in stylish sweet treats for years, global cities are serving up their best Asian desserts to tempt discerning diners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles is also one of the first stops for individuals and businesses coming to America from East Asia. Soup dumpling giant Din Tai Fung\u2019s first American store was in the greater LA area. Ditto for the \u201cStarbucks of Taiwan<\/a>,\u201d 85\u00b0C Bakery Cafe, which serves gorgeous French-inspired pastries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s the thing about Asian desserts. So often, they’re beautiful. Think about creamy cold foam coffee from Japan. Or how dalgona whipped coffee from Korea dominated American TikTok videos when quarantine hit. And LA has some of the tastiest, trendiest, most Instagrammable Asian desserts around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s where you need to go to spice up your Instagram feed with the best boba, bingsu, cheese tea, and more. Since Los Angeles has such a diverse array of delicious foods, consider joining this Downtown Los Angeles Food Tour<\/a> to explore some of the best options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s get one thing straight: This is really more of a cheesecake-like topping on regular tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Fluffy Head Cafe<\/a> specializes in cheese tea, complete with a lid that helps deliver both topping and tea in the same sip. According to LA food writer Esther Tseng<\/a>, cheese tea started in Taiwan. It went from there all over Asia, really blowing up in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
