    Sweet haven chocolates perfect crinkles we love it

    I highly recommended this Cafe for young at heart who love's books serene retreats place

    Buko Pandan
    Gwyne P.

    Tasty dessert drink! I am a huge PANDAN fan and imagine my delight when I saw pandan was a drink option. It was layered with boba and jelly-- almost a vibe close to halo-halo. Just like typical dessert drinks, it was pretty sweet. This cup was close $10 and that was a bit surprising. This place is tucked into a bookstore so you can choose to browse while waiting for your drink.

    It's easy to miss this spot, but it's located inside the Buchanan plaza, same area as the DMV. You count with seating indoors, but also outside. Indoors, you are greeted to a library and the Sweet A's, with a screen menu and an employee at register I like how the menu offers several sweets, like crepes, boba tea and different pastries. My Strawberry Nutella Crepe was week made, but too much Nutella for my taste I gotta try their boba next time fr

    Interior

    It was around 3pm on a Friday when I decided to stop by. I was craving Mais Con Yielo which is a Filipino shaved ice dessert with corn as the star. I haven't been back to Sweet A's since 2019 so it's nice to be back. There were quite a bit of us waiting for our drinks but shoutout to the two people working this day. I got my dessert fairly quickly and loved the fact that the lid was sealed rather than opened. It was perfect to drink whilst multitasking rather than focusing on the dessert itself. It wasn't too sweet which was a major plus. My only issue was that it was pretty humid inside & smelled like sweat. Would I come back? Absolutely! There's not a lot of places in the East Bay like this. 9.5/10.

    Next to a Vietnamese place, Sweeet A is a small cafe/book shop place with a sofa inside? A but underwhelming. Ube Leiche was complicated than what we thought of, with ube sauce, ice cream, cracker crumbs and not overly sweet. Not bad. Mango milk tea on the other hand was horrible, beyond artificial. Not a place to return.

    Still giving that same vibe. Cafe where you can have dessert drinks and snacks with friends. Now the floor is open for seating and can hang out. Note: I ordered halo-halo, one thing I love about this halo-halo is that it does not have beans (I'm not a fan) and so I love it! Also I ordered these mini macaroons, sooo good! I totally recommend it!

    Ultimate Halo-Halo and Mango Creme

    Really great place for some dessert! Was shocked at how extensive the menu was. The interior was nice and comfy. Would definitely come here again!

    I used to go here a lot. We were one of the first customers, when it first open. Then customer service was great very personable. I'm definitely the "Filipino love"- respect and sweet customer service. This time, I did not feel that customer service, it's just okay - the respect, sweet customer service just not there. Customer service is everything to me, unfortunately we didn't experience a good one, maybe because one of them is clocking out (it was almost 5:30pm). The Halo halo is good but a tad too sweet for us.

    Mango Milkshake
    Alan D.

    This place has been on my radar for a while, but I never had the chance to go here. Upon coming home from work, I decided to swing by and finally give it a chance. The place is in some sort of plaza off of Loveridge Road. The aesthetics of the place is nice, since you walk into bookshelves flanking your left and right. The counter is in the back where you place your order. Mango Milkshake: This was pretty good. It didn't taste overwhelming sweet but had enough flavor to give me that mango burst. It was smooth and creamy, which is what I liked in a milkshake. I know some like thick milkshakes, but then it makes it not as satisfying drinking through a straw. Overall, I really enjoyed this milkshake. I will come back to try other flavors or their other drinks as well

    Strawberry Banana Nutella crepe
    Kathleen E.

    Yummerz!!! Ordered a strawberry banana Nutella crepe and it was delicious and served warm. I will definitely be back! Inside was nice and clean and AC kept me cool. Nice spot to hang out and eat a snack. They also have boba and halo halo which I will try next time =)

The old Barnes and Nobles you could spend a couple hours walking around looking at books. This is the light version. Unfortunately online stuff has put us in the situation where you can go into this bookstore and cover the whole place in around 15 minutes. I was looking at the "horror" section and it's okay but again, the light version. Also the fact everything is so expensive now also doesn't help. A paperback was 20 bucks. I'm not paying 20 bucks for a book I'll read once that I can get a the library for free. Magazine prices are absurd. I did find a couple that were 8 bucks but most are over ten and usually more. For a magazine. I hope this type of place keeps going but I can see why they don't. Support your local book store.

Delighted to find it was lower than Amazon and even some other online used bookstores. I arrived at Barnes & Noble and decided to browse a bit before picking up the book. I find the layout of the store quite easy to navigate. For the most part items are easy to find. As I was browsing, a clerk named Kara asked if I needed any help. That's always nice. As it turned out she also helped me when I went to the checkout area for my book. For some unknown reason the online price did not pop-up and I was reluctant to pay the full price (less the 10% member discount). Kara was very diligent about finding the originally quoted price. Very refreshing to find good customer service. That's what keeps customers coming back!
