Devil and Angel Desserts brings all the cool sweets to Fort Worth
Mochi doughnuts are on the menu at Devil and Angel.
A new dessert shop with all the cool desserts has opened in Fort Worth: Called Devil and Angel Desserts, it's a chain based in California known for its innovative array of options, and has opened its first Texas location at the Victory Shops at Basswood, at 6948 North Blue Mound Rd., across the street from Saginaw High School.
The shop, which opened on April 13, serves milk tea, bubble smoothies, boba ice cream, mochi doughnuts, and K-corn dogs.
Founded in Northern California, the chain has locations in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Colorado. The Fort Worth location is from Cindy Nguyen, a biologist who works for an environmental service company, who was impressed by the chain's dedication to authenticity.
"The franchise was very attractive to us, knowing that the brand creator travels to Korea regularly, brings the trends back to the U,S. and incorporates them into the menu," she says. "Our menu will be constantly evolving with trends."
They do boba tea in flavors such as taro, Vietnamese coffee, strawberry matcha, Thai tea, and crème brûlée, but also savory Korean-style hot dogs with flavorful coatings such as fried potato and hot Cheetos.
Mochi doughnuts, the chewy bubble-shaped spin on doughnuts, are another big category, in flavors such as cookies & cream, matcha, pistachio and Thai tea.
One thing Fort Worth will do is a treat called Tanghulu, a traditional Chinese snack consisting of chunks of fruit like melon balls and strawberries, enrobed in a crunchy rock sugar coateding, and served on a bamboo skewer.
The space is very Instagram worthy, colorful and fun, with ample seating space indoors and a patio set to open in the summer. They're open daily from 11 am-9 pm, and until 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Nguyen was inspired by her family pursuing entrepreneurship and wanted to follow their steps, as well as forge a path as an independent woman-owned business.
She's also opening in a neighborhood where she was born and raised.
"I wanted to bring something different to the area, so customers don’t have to drive to the downtown Fort Worth or Dallas to experience culture," she says.
