A…read moresolid place for bingsu, but I cannot give this place any higher than 3 stars due to the price, quality, and service. I came around 6:50PM on a Saturday and there was a small line for the order kiosk. After I ordered, there were a limited number of seats since people tend to hangout in friend groups and treat it as their 3rd space, so be prepared to fight for a table if you're coming during peak times. I sat down and realized they were a whole 10+ orders behind, meaning I waited at least 25mins before getting my bingsu! I ordered a honeydew yogurt bingsu and it was $20. Inflation may be a little crazy, but this was a little above what I was expecting. It came with about 1/2's worth of honeydew. The bowl was not topped with bingsu, and I felt like there are more melons than bingsu (not ok). There were some sweet cheese pieces inside (yummy), some unsweetened frozen yogurt, and the rest was yogurt flavored bingsu. Although healthy, the bingsu itself was NOT sweet enough and I felt sick after eating so much unsweetened yogurt. I wish they gave us a cup of condensed milk like they do at every other bingsu place... Service was slow and everything is self serve, from getting your bingsu at the front to bussing your tray. I do believe there are other bingsu spots in Bay Area that give a similar experience with more variety and better pricing. I do not look forward to waiting almost 30min after spending $20 for a bingsu that's only half bingsu with honeydew layered on top.

I loved the fresh mango (I wish there was more on top) and the icy mango base. The sago pearls were tiny and added some texture. I skipped the tea because I planned to get a drink next door, but I would try it next time.

You order at a kiosk and wait for your name to be called, then pick up your drinks at the counter. There are some benches outside in this plaza, so if you want to sit, you can. Their matcha is exceptional, and although the line can get very long, they are so efficient that your drinks are ready in no time. I'd say the longest part of the process is waiting for someone to place their order at the kiosk. As a vegan, I stick to the fruit teas like Strawberry Yuzu Matcha Tea, Red Dragon Refresher, Lychee Matcha Tea, and Yuzu Matcha Tea. However, prior to becoming vegan 3-ish years ago, I did try the Crème Brûlée Matcha and Okinawa Hojicha Latte. Each drink is delicious in its own way, and I love that the matcha shines regardless of the flavor you choose. During my recent visit, I had the Strawberry Yuzu Matcha. The screen suggested keeping it as is instead of choosing "less sweet," so I stuck with the original. I liked it, but next time I'll definitely go with less sweet. It wasn't a sugar bomb, but it was a bit sweeter than I prefer.

I think a stronger matcha flavor and better balance between the jasmine and matcha would have made the drink much more enjoyable.

Caitlyn Sweet is a true gem in the cake world! We've ordered from her for various occasions, including birthdays and a wedding, and each time, the quality has been exceptional. Her cakes are always moist and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, which is something our family really values. They offer a delightful range of flavors, with matcha being our absolute favorite! The communication is seamless, and the pricing is very reasonable. We can't wait to order again for our next celebration! Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious, beautifully crafted cakes! read more

I am so happy I found Caitlyn's Sweets! I needed a custom cake for my baby shower and was worried I wouldn't find someone who could execute the vision I had. I wanted a Talavera inspired print on the side with baby pink and white colors, fresh flowers and my baby's name on the cake. I sent her some inspo photos of ideas I saw on Pinterest and she made it even better! The ordering process was seamless and easy. The cake was flavorful and delicious -- everyone at my shower loved it! Definitely coming back for future orders read more
