What Is Tanghulu?
Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese dessert — fresh whole fruit, hand-glazed in a thin crystal glaze. The shell shatters with every bite, then gives way to the fruit underneath.
An 800-Year Tradition
Tanghulu has been part of Chinese winter markets and celebrations for 800 years. At Olivia's Tanghulu, we honor that tradition the way it deserves — real fruit, a thin crystal glaze, and the perfect crunch, made fresh same day.
Fresh, and made to share
Made fresh same day with peak-season fruit and our signature crystal glaze. Vegan, and made without dairy, gluten, or nuts. And impossible not to photograph.
The Signature Snap
"The shell shatters with every bite — the perfect crunch, at its best the day it's made."
Peak-Season Fruit
Premium fruit selected at peak ripeness for natural sweetness, vibrant color, and a clean, refreshing bite — always the star, never hidden.
Hand-Glazed, Perfect Crunch
A glass-thin crystal glaze with a clean, precise crunch. A person, not a machine, behind every batch.

-
Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese dessert — fresh fruit, hand-glazed in a thin crystal glaze, with a crunch that's at its best the day it's made. It's vegan, made without dairy, gluten, or nuts. At Olivia's Tanghulu, we hand-glaze every skewer fresh, same day, with peak-season fruit.
-
Tanghulu is fresh whole fruit in a thin crystal glaze — that's the whole recipe. It's vegan, made without dairy, gluten, or nuts. We'll let the fruit speak for itself.
-
Yes. Delivery is available for larger orders across the Bay Area, with options tailored to distance and order size. For individual orders, pickup is available at T4 Millbrae (Wed–Sun), and you can walk in at our Burlingame and Foster City partner locations on Saturdays and Sundays. Delivery details and windows are selected at checkout.
-
Yes — corporate catering is one of our specialties. We've served event teams at Google, Nvidia, OpenAI, YouTube, and more. We offer delivery catering, staffed on-site service, and live glazing experiences for corporate meetings, team celebrations, offsites, and brand activations across the Bay Area. Delivery has an order minimum (a delivery fee may apply depending on distance), with 1–2+ weeks lead time depending on service style.
-
Best enjoyed same day.
After that, the fruit naturally releases moisture and the shell may soften. It will still taste great later the same day, but the perfect crunch is always best fresh.
-
Keep refrigerated and enjoy the same day.
Tanghulu is made fresh daily — over time the crystal glaze will naturally soften and lose its signature crunch.
-
Our signature tanghulu is vegan — made without dairy, gluten, or nuts.
For seasonal or specialty flavors that may contain dairy, all ingredients are clearly listed on the product page so you can order with confidence.
