EVERSWEET

About EVERSWEET

Eversweet is a Chinese dessert house on Meadowland Drive in Somerville, Auckland, dedicated to authentic Chinese desserts handmade with traditional ingredients. Its menu is organised into ten series — sago, mochi bowls, grass jelly, drinks, daily specials, steamed milk puddings, coconut snow ice, ice tofu pudding, guiling jelly and snacks — covering everything from warm, comforting bowls to icy, refreshing treats.

The kitchen's strengths are texture and tradition. Sago bowls arrive with chewy glutinous balls, taro balls, purple rice and fresh fruit; mochi bowls layer classic flavours like black sesame, peanut, taro and osmanthus; steamed milk puddings come silky and simple or dressed up with red bean, mango or taro cream. Chilled desserts — ice tofu pudding with brown sugar, coconut snow ice and generously loaded grass jelly — share the menu with guiling jelly and daily specials like rock sugar pear soup.

There is plenty to drink alongside, from black sesame and boba milk teas to fruit teas, a warm orange tea and a peach gum latte, plus a snack series of curry fish balls, fried octopus balls and the house speciality noodles. Eversweet opens from midday into the evening (12:30pm Monday to Thursday, 12:00pm Friday to Sunday), takes online orders with customise options, and delivers through Uber Eats. Whether you're after a nostalgic milk pudding or a modern fruit tea, it's a welcoming stop for anyone with a sweet tooth in Auckland's east.

Eversweet Somerville: Handmade Chinese Desserts, Sago Bowls and Milk Teas in Auckland

Tucked along Meadowland Drive in Somerville, Auckland, Eversweet is a dessert house devoted entirely to Chinese sweets. Its promise is stated simply on the menu: authentic Chinese desserts, handmade with traditional ingredients. In practice, that means a long, playful menu of sago bowls, mochi bowls, grass jelly, steamed milk puddings, ice tofu pudding and coconut snow ice — the kinds of desserts you might find in the dessert houses of Hong Kong and southern China, now served in Auckland's eastern suburbs.

A menu built on tradition

Eversweet's menu is organised into ten series, and together they cover an impressive range of textures and temperatures. The Sago Series sits at the heart of it: tiny tapioca pearls paired with coconut milk, fresh mango, pomelo, taro, purple rice and chewy glutinous balls. The choices run from the simple Coconut Milk Sago to the generously loaded Mango Pomelo Sago — glutinous balls, taro balls, noodles, sago, mango and pomelo in one bowl — and even a Durian Sago with Milk Pudding, built with snow swallow for fans of the king of fruits.

The Mochi Series offers warm, comforting bowls built around one classic flavour each — pumpkin, peanut, red bean, taro, black sesame, mung bean or pistachio — finished with mochi, glutinous balls and a perfumed touch of osmanthus. The Steamed Milk Pudding range covers the delicate Original through egg, red bean and mango versions, plus a Peony Taro Cream edition topped with glutinous and taro balls.

Chilled desserts get their own spotlight. The Ice Tofu Pudding Series pairs silky tofu pudding with brown sugar, taro balls, red bean or purple rice, while the Coconut Snow Ice Series piles fluffy coconut snow ice high with red bean or mango. Traditionalists can also order guiling jelly on its own or with coconut milk and mango, alongside daily specials such as Rock Sugar Pear Soup and Taro Coconut Noodle Rolls.

The popular choices

First-timers needn't study the whole menu — the shop's own popular picks make a clear starting line. The Original Steamed Milk Pudding leads the way, followed by the Taro Coconut Milk Sago and the Peanut Bowl. Boba Milk Tea, Taro Bowl, Black Sesame Bowl, Mango Pomelo Sago, Pistachio Bowl, Taro Purple Rice Bowl and the Taro Balls Brown Sugar Ice Tofu Pudding all earn their place too, which tells you something about the balance of the menu: half nostalgia, half refreshment.

Drinks and savoury sides

Eversweet isn't only about bowls of sweetness. The Drink Series covers milk teas — black sesame, brown sugar jelly, boba, grass jelly and a purple rice bursting boba — alongside fruit teas like passion fruit, grape, dragon fruit coconut and punch lemon ice tea, plus a warm orange tea and a peach gum latte. For something more elaborate, there's Coconut Jelly with Ice-Cream Milk Tea and a Lychee Jasmine Mango Milk Tea.

If you like a savoury counterpoint, the Snack Series brings curry fish balls, fried octopus balls, secret marinated chicken feet, fried golden buns, cucumber salad, chips, brown sugar rice cake, french toast bites and the house Ever Speciality Noodles, with the option of a fried egg on top.
