“a refreshing alternative to the typical Asian food”
Conveniently located in downtown San Mateo next to the theater, Dessert Republic offers a refreshing alternative to the typical Asian restaurant. Our bistro-style cafe is inspired by 1960s Hong Kong, with colorful decor and a fun, energetic atmosphere. We serve a great selection of desserts, street food, crepes, dim sum and snacks that are inspired by the streets of Hong Kong. We are open daily for dinner and late night snacks, and we serve lunch as well on the weekends. Choose from savory favorites such as noodle soup, dumplings, fish balls and pork rice, and wash your meal down with our Jasmine Tea, Bubble Tea or Milk Tea. Make sure to pick from our extensive selection of sweet treats as well! From crepes filled with ice cream to mixed fruit bowls, we have something for every palate at Dessert Republic. Our unique ordering system make the dining experience at Dessert Republic unlike any other. Simply push the button at your table, and someone will be over to get you what you need. If you can’t stay to eat with us, don’t worry - we offer takeout!
