Even though this summer has largely been a bummer—between the cyclospora outbreak, wildfires, and war in the Middle East, for starters—it’s not healthy to hibernate and bury your head in a pillow.

Instead, try the mood-lifting Mango Mango Dessert, the Hong Kong-originated dessert cafe which has two locations in Las Vegas: one in the so-called “Second Chinatown” on S Rainbow, the other in Henderson on St Rose Pkwy (there are 50+ locations overall in 15 states).

Following a recent family dinner at the always outstanding and ultra-stylish Weera Thai on S Rainbow, we walked over to this brightly colored dessert cafe, both of which are in the Commons at Warm Springs. We shared—and didn’t look back—the seductive “Special Mango Juice, Sago & Pomelo w. Mango Ice Cream” and the subtly sweet dreamy/creamy “Taro Ube Cheesecake.” Suddenly the world felt less ugly, less threatening.  Me, I wanted to immediately take up residence right inside the bowl of the gorgeous mango creation pictured above and never leave. For me, enjoying a fantastic dessert represents hope and renewal—a joyous way forward.
