The Dessert Collective — Restaurant in American Fork

This evening was me and my loves first time coming into the Desert Collective! If I could give 10 stars 🌟 I would!

Customer Service: We were immediately greeted warmly by Taya! (Sorry if I’m spelling your name wrong 🫶) Not only was she super easy to talk to, she explained everything super well and was genuinely one of the nicest individuals I’ve come across in the service industry!

She not only was drop dead GORGEOUS! She was super sweet and made me feel right at home! 🏠

Food: I have a dairy allergy and finding something this close to ice-cream!?? It is DIVINE! Just go in and grab yourself some! Vegan or not! This desert is special! Light! Creamy! Not too sweet! A very light flavor of coconut! * I’m not even a fan of coconut flavor but this was still good! )

It reminded me of a frozen custard, Rich and delicious! I got the Coconut Cream Original.

Ambiance: Walking in the place is clean, darker hues and a lovely Nordic/ modern/ cozy establishment. The music was actually so nice! A softer lighter jazz (I’m sensitive to most music clashing in the background of places, especially at restaurants) The Desert Collective was one of my favorite places to visit to date!

Thank you Taya! Aka Goddess! Aka Princess 👑 You made our first experience delightful!

Looking forward to our next visit! Try something new and grab a 🥥 Coconut Cream! You will not be...

If you don’t have access to homemade desserts this place is an option! The coconut cream frozen dessert was really fun. I’d go back for that. Everything else was okay. We tried the s’mores bar, snickers, Twix, and the cheesecake. It was all sweet and sugar is great but of all the desserts none of the others were good enough to crave. The pie filling was fun. The crust was not buttery or flakey or salty.

The idea is so cool. I think it would be fun for you guys to somehow make your shop smell yummy like dessert. When you walk into cold stone BAM yummy smells. When we walked in to your place today it smelled really sour and a little off putting. Which is fine and maybe a bad day. But smelling our food is half the fun. So idk maybe there’s something you can bake in house to really get customers excited and salivating. I would love to see the idea grow and stay in business so just thought I’d add in my two cents. Also the self serve pay is nice but I do think it would be nice to be greeted somewhere. Just like a hey welcome in! Or some info to feel more comfortable coming in to a new experience. :) lastly the music was REALLY LOUD. It made me feel a little overwhelmed but also could just be a weird night.

Thanks...

Oh WOW!!!! You have to try the super fresh, dairy, free, gluten-free, coconut, cream, ribbon, shaved ice cream. They mix up and freeze a brick of coconut cream, base ice cream, and then send it through the shaved ice machine, such that it comes out in ribbons. It’s best if you can give it a couple minutes to soften so that you aren’t tasting anything but soft creaminess. Right now the seasonal flavors have raspberry mixed in And blueberry mixed in as two separate seasonal flavors. The raspberry Berry knocked our socks off. We liked the blueberry also. Such an interesting concept for a restaurant. These are all local artists that bring in their desserts for sale. The coconut shaved cream does not feel like a bomb went off in your stomach when you’re finished eating. So fresh and so yummy. The better than sex cake looked amazing and Was also highly recommended by the staff. The beautiful human at the cash register was so helpful and full of good information and recommendations. Love the atmosphere. Highly recommend! I’m definitely going back for more raspberry shaved...
