Flying Noodle has offered Italian gourmet gifts since 1995. They feature a number of monthly clubs, ranging from wine and beer to chocolate and cake.
Standard options for club lengths and pricing
When you set up your Flying Noodle Dessert of the Month Club, you'll choose monthly shipments for 3, 6, or 12 months, or opt for a seasonal subscription with deliveries four times a year. Depending on which club you select, your monthly price will average out to $40.95-$42.95. Free shipping is included on all subscriptions here.
All desserts sent during the last week of the month
On the checkout page, you can indicate which month you'd like your club to start arriving. Be aware that Flying Noodle always delivers during the last week of the month. So, if you're setting this Dessert Club up as a gift, you have the option of having a message sent on a different date. For example, if you're celebrating someone's birthday on April 15 and their dessert won't arrive until the last week of the month, you can have the gift message delivered on or before the 15th - or print one out yourself right from the Flying Noodle site.
Membership Overview:
- Dessert Selection: 6-10 servings of one dessert; past selections have included cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and puff pastries
- Duration: 3, 4, 6, or 12 months
- Frequency: Monthly or quarterly
- Shipping: Included at no extra cost
Not much info about specific desserts
Unfortunately, Flying Noodle doesn't go to any great lengths to tell you what to expect from their Dessert of the Month Club. Previous selections have included puff pastries, cupcakes and cakes, and cookies, and each shipment comes with a single selection that can serve 6-10 people. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess. Flying Noodle doesn't show you any kind of schedule for what's coming up in future deliveries or specific flavors/treats that have been delivered in the past.
Not enough positive reviews
Those details would have been helpful, because there's not a lot of feedback about this Dessert of the Month Club. Even the testimonials on the Flying Noodle store aren't specific to this membership. Also, the Better Business Bureau gives this retailer a disappointing "C+" rating for failing to respond to one complaint filed there. That's not a huge red flag, but it doesn't do Flying Noodle any favors, either. Sure, they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and you can cancel your club at any time for a refund of any remaining months, but that's not quite enough for us to overlook the ways that this dessert subscription falls behind its rivals.
Better dessert clubs are out there
Add all of that to the fact that the website had trouble loading several times we visited it, and that the main URL hasn't been updated for security (a protocol put in place internet-wide several years ago), and it's easy to see why we give our lowest ranking to Flying Noodle's Dessert of the Month Club.

Where Can You Get the Most Delectable Dessert Clubs?
You've seen it all when it comes to subscription boxes, from makeup and spa products to arts and crafts - but sometimes with mixed results, right? If you're looking for a monthly delivery that will have just about anyone smiling from ear to ear, check out the options for dessert clubs! After all, who doesn't have a sweet tooth?
Most dessert clubs start out the same. Choose if you want a plan with deliveries for three, six, or twelve months, decide which month it should start, enter the shipping address and off you go. You or your gift recipient are now slated to get mouth-watering treats on the regular. But, there's a lot of variety when you compare one provider to another, and that's where your own unique personality can come through a little.
Dessert Club FAQ
Continued from above...
Are you more of a "give me one big treat I can share" ? Or more of a "let me taste lots of smaller sweets" kind of person? You'll find dessert clubs that cater to either one.
Would you like to have some say-so over what gets included in each box, or would you rather let the bakery make those decisions? That's another good way to choose among the available dessert clubs: while almost all of them tell you in advance what to expect from month to month, some let it be a total surprise and others give you the chance to skip any upcoming shipments that aren't to your liking - or even request a substitution. Whether your style is "surprise me" or "follow my lead" can determine which dessert club is your ideal match.
The last factors influencing your delicious decision are schedule and budget. Most dessert subscriptions come in at a monthly price of around $40, give or take. That doesn't always include shipping, so don't forget to keep that in mind. Most require you to pay for all of your deliveries upfront, but a few let you pay as you go. Also, the majority of dessert clubs have fixed plans ranging from three months to a year, though there are options that can be set up as month-to-month for as long as you choose to subscribe.
You're almost ready to pick the perfect dessert club. Just watch out for a few more things as you decide:
- Types of Desserts. Most clubs consist of baked goods, but a few specialize in chocolate-covered berries or include breakfast foods like bagels or waffles. What do you have in mind?
- Reputation. What do previous recipients of your dessert club say about the experience? Were their deliveries consistent in quality and delivery timeframes?
- Customer Service. When shipping perishable items like cheesecake and pie, it's inevitable that there will be issues from time to time. How does the dessert club provider handle problems? Is there a good satisfaction guarantee in place?
To help you satisfy your sweet tooth, TopConsumerReviews.com has evaluated and ranked today's most delicious dessert clubs. We're sure this information will make it possible to get some amazing treats delivered right to your doorstep - or to your lucky gift recipient's. Bon Appetit!
