Authentic Hong Kong treats & boba drinks at ‘Miss Dessert’

May 15, 20231 min read

The Phoenix area-based boba and sweet shop, Miss Dessert, officially opened at 1800 E. Fort Lowell Rd. #140 in late April.

The team behind Miss Dessert has enjoyed their time so far in the complex that also houses restaurants like China Szechwan, Taqueria El Pueblito, and Dolce Vita Italian Bistro. Other Arizona locations include Mesa, Gilbert, and Phoenix.

“We offer a variety of bubble tea drinks and snacks,” said Calvin Hoang of Miss Dessert. “I’ve put a lot of effort into selecting the best ingredients and perfecting our recipes. I truly believe that once you try our products, you’ll be hooked!”

And it’s true — there’s a lot to try at Miss Dessert. The menu features classic beverages like milk teas, fruit refreshers, creamies like an avocado yogurt shake and a strawberry matcha mix, and then special cheese tea. The cheese teas include Green Tea, Lychee Oolong, and Uji-Matcha — all of which come with a cheesy cream on top.

When it comes to their Hong Kong-style desserts, take a gander at the Vanilla Snow Series. Some of the bowls include the likes of a Purple Snowman — Thai purple sticky rice and palm seeds in vanilla snow — and a Fruit Frenzy, which is basil seeds, mixed fruits, and palm seeds in their nifty vanilla snow.

At the moment, the hours of operation are 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Monday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Friday, noon – 10 p.m. on Saturday, and noon – 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Miss Dessert is located at 1800 E. Fort Lowell Rd. #140. For more information, visit missdessertus.com and follow Miss Dessert on Instagram.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
