    This might be my new go to spot in the city! Cafe Sweets is tucked away in an older plaza but is such a hidden gem. Dirty Matcha: wish the matcha to espresso ratio was a bit better but great overall Crème Brûlée Latte: good but a bit too sweet, I would lower the sweetness Crème Brûlée Matcha: the cream was delish, again a bit too sweet for me (ordered regular) They are having a buy two drinks get one free right now. The pricing is great, especially with the free drink. I also appreciate that they had an allergy warning by the door. Will be back to try the food!

    Updated my review with before and after pictures. Guess I need 85 characters to post update. Good food, friendly staff, comfortable environment. What else needs to be said?

    Dry noodle and fries mix!
    Emily H.

    The coffee, tea cakes, muffins, fries mix and dry noodles are so affordable and great! Everyone there is so nice and friendly too. This is my new favorite and go-to place now!

    Came after hours and everything was so fresh!!! The boba was so good and the bundt cake was moist.

    Passing through the area, we saw a relatively new boba/dessert spot, and of course I had to try! We ordered some fries, almond tea cakes, chocolate tea cakes, and a few drinks. Fries: They were so crispy and delicious! It was definitely popular with my kids. Tea cakes: The almond tea cakes weren't too sweet and had a nice texture to it. The chocolate one was really good too, but I thought the original one lets the almond flavor shine more. I never had anything like it before! Jasmine green tea: The jasmine flavor was so floral and strong. I love strong tea flavors, and every sip smelled so nice too! Camellia green tea: Also super refreshing! The tea flavor wasn't as distinct as the jasmine for me because of the mango jellies I added, but I still loved the drink. Latte with cream foam: The cream foam was so soft and creamy. It just melted with every sip of the latte. Service was very friendly and quick. The shop isn't super big, but they had a few tables, and it was quiet and relaxing. They share a small parking lot with a few other businesses, but we didn't have issues finding a spot on a Saturday afternoon. I'll definitely be back for more almond tea cakes and drinks, whenever i'm in the area again!

    Apple Cinnamon Bite. $13 prior to tax for 6
    Vic C.

    Cafe Sweets is located in the same strip mall as Alex Di Peppe's Italian Restaurant and Laoxi Noodle House, specifically in the corner that is next door to the barber shop. I came by this newly opened eatery on 2 separate occasions, this past Saturday with my mom and yesterday with my husband. Over both visits, we had received very friendly and gracious service by one of the owners, Grace (she remembered me on my second visit). Over the 2 visits we had purchased: Carrot Tea Cakes, $15 prior to tax for 6- Wow these tea cakes are really good. There are nuts, a small amount of raisins, pineapples and shredded carrots in each of these tea cakes. Each cake is dense and very delicious. Grace told us that they also freeze well too. Apple Cinnamon Bite. $13 prior to tax for 6- Another delicious tea cake, inside are nuts and large pieces of apples on top. Almond Tea Cakes, $15 prior to tax for 6- My favorite tea cake, these tea cakes have a nice almond flavor. All of these tea cakes are not too sweet (Asian sweet) and perfect for a snack or a little dessert after your lunch. Chocolate Tea Cake- This was free sample given to us to try. Grace told us this is just like the almond tea cakes but with chocolate chips added and chocolate drizzled on top. Creme Brulee, $3.50 prior to tax- Grace was so kind to give my mom a free one. My mom thought it was good and didn't think it was too sweet, just perfect for her. Double Chocolate Pecan, $2.50 prior to tax- This cookie has a nice cake like softness and is a pretty large size. I didn't have any because my husband took it to work and had said he liked it. Thai Red Rubies, $7.95 prior to tax- This drink is similar to Vietnamese che thai drink with coconut milk and all of those colorful chewy jellies inside. The drink wasn't too sweet and very refreshing. The size is good for 2 to share. Both my husband and I enjoyed this drink. Brown Sugar Boba Milk, $5.95 prior to tax- I ordered this to be made with 25% sweetness and no ice. I thought this drink was find with the sweetness level adjustment and I also found that the boba was nice and soft, but chewy. Milk Tea, $5.95 prior to tax + Pudding $0.50 prior to tax- Both my husband and I ordered this drink to be made with 50% sweetness level and no ice. My husband liked his drink and so did I. I had my drink the next day and thought it was perfectly made. The pudding was good. Birria Ramen, $15.95 prior to tax- Birria tacos or ramen (for the same price) is only available on Wednesdays. Grace had told her that her friend makes the birria. Honestly, the birria was good, it wasn't greasy like other places that I have had birria and the broth base was good. It was a little salty and sour, but I think it went very well with the meat and the ramen noodles. The portion size is perfect for both my husband and I to share. We did share a little for my mom to try since Grace had told us on Saturday to come back to try the birria (so I wanted to make sure my mom got a chance to try it). My mom really liked it (and this was the first time she had birria). ------------------------------------- Please note that currently Cafe Sweets has a grand opening special that you can purchase 2 drinks and get the 3rd drink free (which also includes the Thai Red Rubies if you wish to take advantage of that deal). We had a great experience on both visits (and took our items to go each time) and see myself coming back in the near future. Please note that Cafe Sweet is closed on Mondays & Tuesdays.

    Special of the day, these noodles were delish!!
    May..Lene D.

    Keith Lee come make your presence here!! I found myself a hidden gem! Super delicious, super cute, awesome customer service and so close to home. The main reason I went to cafe sweets was for a bucket of their Thai red ruby (kind of like Vietnamese che). Customer service was so good I ended up getting their daily special dry noodles! Wow!!!! This little noodle bowl was a flavor burst in my mouth. I usually don't eat meatballs or certain meats but I gobbled everything down! I've never had tea cake before and was going to give the samples to my bf. So glad I didn't because the crispy soft chewy texture is unlike anything I've had before. And not too sweet either. My favorite is the apple one. Still need to try their boba drink which I'm sure I'll fall in love with! Come out and support this woman minority owned business!!!

    Such a cute place! A good place to study! Many deals in the store, like buy 2 get 1 drinks, free tea cake w $10 (I think) purchase. My best purchase was the red rubies dessert! I love the jellies and especially the red ruby! For the tea cakes, we got the almond and carrot cake. I compare these cakes to like muffin tops, the part everyone likes! Gotta go back and get the other flavor tea cakes, drinks and grab my stuff to study there!

    Tiramisu Latte, Crème Brûlée Latte, Hot Golden Tea, and a tea cake
    Kathy L.

    This has become our go-to spot for coffee and boba! The sweetness and milk can be tweaked which is great because some drinks can be a bit sweet so the adjustments make them perfect. They currently have a buy 2 get 1 free deal so even more of a reason to come! The tea cakes and Thai dessert is always delicious. Service is always absolutely top notch, drinks are amazing, and the location is small but cozy and cute. Usually not very busy but we've seen it busy on weekends. Parking can get a bit busy sometimes but I've never had an issue.

    Almond

    I came around opening, 10:15am and found parking easily. The girl at the counter was so sweet and mentioned to me they just opened and she's helping her aunt in the back. She told me about the 2 drinks get 1 drink free special and said when the pastries are done, she'll give me a sample. I ordered the matcha foam ice latte, hojicha tea, and matcha milk tea. she asked if i wanted it with no ice so i can save it for later. it was kind of her to ask and the drinks were really good. I also tried the almond pastry and I will definitely come back to get a whole box of it. A lot of little almond pieces for the crunchy feel. the side of the pastry also had a nice edge crispy chewy taste. I'm not a huge fan of hojicha to begin with but this one was pretty good. it's less smokey, which i love.

    Crème brûlée latte  Boba Milk Tea Tiramisu Latte
    Alizae Z.

    Came to get a quick coffee and was greeted by the most nicest lady must be the owner recommend some delicious food items the short ribs and dumplings with a custom dipping sauce so yumm crème brulee latte & tiramisu latte definitely a must try and the pastries are fresh will be back soon

    Mini egg rolls, noodle soup, and a matcha latte
    Krystal H.

    Discovered this cute and cozy cafe through a menu flyer that appeared at my front door one day. I've had their food and drinks 3 separate times since then. Everyone has been so lovely and welcoming during the times I've stopped by and ever so patient the times when I've stood by, awkwardly gawking at the menu. Customer service is great in person and even on the phone if you decide to call your order in ahead of time. Their tea cakes are the perfect balance of flavorful without being too sweet, with my favorite flavors being the cinnamon apple and almond ones. Their egg tarts completely hit the spot, especially if you're lucky enough to get a piping hot batch of them. The mini egg rolls have been consistently delicious every single time I've had them and are now my must-have snack from Cafe Sweets. The matcha latte has become my favorite in the area, so it hurts my soul that I have to watch my sugar intake while it's so accessible to me. Overall, solidly great experiences with the staff, food, and drinks. Hope I can continue supporting Cafe Sweets for the foreseeable future.

    Mahjong table

    Cafe Sweets has a very welcoming and cozy atmosphere that is perfect for a night out with friends as well as a date spot. There are tons of games like a mahjong table and card games like uno. Super friendly service and the Hojicha Latte I ordered was made fresh and tasted great! Overall 10/10 spot for casual hangouts with friends

It's subtle and silky, but 20 minutes later, I felt my eyes dilate. WOAH! This caffeine ramps up in the most unsuspecting way. FUN! I appreciated the strength, and I happily savored this coffee's cinnamon & brown sugar tones. (Quick Note: There's no customer internet on the weekend.) I arrived at Grey & Cash (Monrovia) on Friday (around 10:40AM). Parking will require a little walking since street parking is very competitive. Fortunately, there's free parking lots scattered nearby, and it's a brisk walk. Staff is professional and diligent. This business is CRAZY busy! The line kept lengthening. Staff politely and efficiently answered my questions. Once I reached the counter (took about three minutes), my drink arrived very quickly. Took about one minute. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Nitro James Brew ($8.25 - 16oz - Chilled). It has no ice, but it's chilled. The coffee is also silky & soft. Initially, I scoffed at the coffee's strength... but as time progressed, the caffeine kept growing stronger & stronger. WOAH! As someone who drinks daily coffee, it's very rare & unique to feel such almost-frightening power. Regarding ambiance, Grey & Cash (Monrovia) felt busy and cramped despite the large space & tall ceiling. There's about nine tables inside, two tall tables, and five outside tables. The location has a self-service water station, high-chairs for kids, and several electrical outlets (counted about six spots). There's also customer internet with password; customers must ask Staff for the details. Also, there's a gender neutral restroom in the back. Its music is fairly loud, but it's upbeat and fun. Overall, I found something unique and special at Grey & Cash (Monrovia). If you love silky, potent coffee, this is a must-try. WOAH! 4.9 out of 5

She even took me to attend one of their store events - their 2026 Vision Board planning event! We got to meet lovely neighborhood folks, and spent an hour dreaming up the year ahead and meet the store owner, Nicole, and their event planner, Mikayla, whom are both super sweet and friendly. After the event, I couldn't help but grab some beautiful bookmarks and a full collection book of the Jane Austen novels, which is now my next read and sitting beautifully, waiting for me on my bookshelf. They also have their own curated selection of beauty products, home decor, and not to mention, an adorable collection of bookmarks that I just can't resist. I'm a big fan! I am subscribed to their email newsletter and followed their socials to stay up to date, since I don't want to miss a thing from them. I can't wait to see what they have upcoming this year and continue to support them.
