    Exterior, within Aberdeen centre, 2nd floor

    J Sweets sells Japanese sweets/desserts from famous Japanese brands. It's located on the 2nd floor of Aberdeen Centre. The interior is clean, spacious and well-lit. It gave me an airport duty free shop vibe due to the way the products are presented in the store. I believe J Sweets is a North American chain. One of the brands they sell that is probably the most recognizable is Royce Chocolates. Upon a quick glance around, the prices are rather high, as is the case with imports. I got a mochi cream, $2.75+ tax. I'm not sure why the previous reviewer as well as the pictures indicated that there are many flavors. When I went there today, the staff told me that there is only one flavor available until early-mid December. So what does a mochi cream taste like? If you've ever bought mochi ice cream from grocery stores, it is exactly that. I'm sure this mochi cream used better ingredients; however, I do not think it justified $2.75 a piece. The caramel pudding flavor wasn't strong and the inside of the actual mochi didn't look like the picture - i.e. where was the caramelized sugar (dark brown) bits? In conclusion, opening a location in Aberdeen is quite fitting as the mall also has many other similar stores that sell imported Japanese goods.

    Haven't been to Aberdeen for quite some time and there are new stores...this particular store caught my eye as it was bright, great displays and sterile clean. This is a dream for people with a sweet tooth. They have many high end Japanese selections to choose from..pricey..but I've tried a couple of brands they carry and it's worth a nibble. Mochi...they have at least 10 different kinds, but went for 3 (black sesame, double mango and strawberry shortcake). At 2.75 a pop..I would pay for them because they are that good in my opinion. Light, not overly sweet and refreshing if you could call them that. Ended up buying 6 more of the same flavours to bring home..can't wait. Yes it's pricey, however worth it. Will go back to buy other options at a later date. I just wished they had Royce orange truffle...wow.

    If you like Japanese treats, this is a store worth checking out for some premium brands. We bought a few items to try. The mochi was sweet, firm marshmallow like and floury. There was a piece of mango in the double mango mochi ($2.75). It was good for mochi standards. The other items are meant for gift giving or self indulgence. We bought a white peach jelly ($25) and the packaging was pretty. The jelly tasted exactly like a white peach, but I would not repurchase for myself. For the same money, I could have bought a cake to share with others. The cookies are high quality. Again, the prices reflect the import costs. It was on sale so we bought a few tins for gifting and a box for ourselves.

    Hole-in-the-wall gem of a find we stumbled upon after going to Costco. At first when we went…read moreinside, I think I wasn't the only one in our party of 9 to wonder what the heck we walked into and wondered if we should leave. The decorations are dated and they have a couch and TV riiiiight behind the ordering counter, lol. God bless the Chinese uncle that owns and runs the place... he and the lady taking the order barely spoke English, so we stumbled with our Mandarin. I think they even spoke Taiwanese with each other?!? Instead of ordering multiple drinks, we just ordered the one mango lover's coconut pudding. Honestly, we didn't know what the heck we ordered and we ordered it to go. It took a little while to prepare, but when it came we were presented with a coconut wrapped in cellophane. We were intrigued and had to open it right then and there. We were treated to a coconut FILLED with fresh mango, mochi, and pudding... all in a fresh coconut - the coconut meat was thin, so you knew it was juicy and fresh! My oldest kid did his best to claim it all for himself as we all wanted a taste. In the end, we did the only thing logical and had to order a second. I would absolutely, hands-down, recommend this place. The family that owns the place deserves our patronage and they've earned it in their own humble way. God bless.

    Tried out Babatang Coconut Sweets for a weekend dessert. It's tucked away behind the Richmond…read moreCostco. The inside is spacious with several tables (32 seats). Order and pay at the counter, then wait for your order to be called. - Mango lover's ($18.00) - decent amount of mango. Coconut pudding was unique, small portion size - Taro ball ($16.00) - wish they gave more taro balls
