Convenient ordering system, quick service & pickup, delicious food & drinks, cute & quaint size with an upbeat & fun atmosphere. There were kpop music videos playing on the 4 screens above the counter. There is only 1 ordering station, but you can easily place an order online as well. A nice amount of boba in my Thai tea, and the perfect amount of custard in our sweet bears. The bears were cooked to perfection, too. They also have the popular ice cream that is shaped like fruit and individually packaged (they were delicious). The refreshers were also great - we got mango and strawberry. We'll definitely continue visiting this establishment.

Super cute place to get snacks and drinks! I've had their matcha, mango refresher and the custard bear. 2 bears are about $5, that's a good deal. Bear fillings include custard, Nutella, red bean, Oreo and plain. I believe there are others like cheese too for an up charge. I've always taken it to-go but looks like there are plenty of seating. Hours are interesting. They don't open until 2pm on weekdays.

Stopping by twice during their grand opening week of May 11th, our family really enjoyed their bubble tea drinks, snacks, and hospitality. Located in a very small strip mall in Allen, TX, Sweet Bear is a locally owned small cafe, that just opened in the space that previously had a very good donut shop. The husband/wife owners share their dream (in their own words): "to share a little sweetness, and joy to our community through handcrafted Korean desserts, drinks, and treats". After ordering and paying, one can sit and wait in the few cafe tables/chairs set around the cafe. It takes as long as one would expect for personalized orders, with drinks being finished in the order received. We tried a couple of their drinks, including a Korean Strawberry Milk ($4.95) personalized with lychee jelly (+$.75). One can choose the sweetness level (25% to 100%)...both times, we tried it at 50% and it was very sweet, definitely giving a sugar high if drunk too fast. On both of our trips, we got the sweet bear duo (two bears for $4.95), consisting of a freshly baked waffle batter in the shape of a bear, with custom filling. I personally tried custard, sweet red bean, oreo, and nutella...all good with custard being my favorite. One can order it with ice cream on the side (+$3.95), and that was a great bite: with warm waffle cake and custard, with the cold ice cream. As one can see, the prices are very reasonable. They are on Instagram and ordering online is enabled via snackpass. On both days/nights, the owners were busy at work in the back (a steady stream of customers were coming in), but they still made time to say hello. Their story is shown across their shop, personalizing it as a local business. Using technology to automate what they can (ordering is via kiosks with no cash accepted), and focusing on the important stuff is a recipe for success: handcrafted drinks, snacks and good consistent service (heard the owner always ask every customer to let him know if something was wrong, and he would make it right). It's the perfect attitude.

Such a cute boba shop run by the nicest couple. The boba is creamy and affordable. I tried two warm sweet bear cakes with Nutella and custard and both were delicious with the perfect amount of filling. The taro and milk tea bobas at 75 percent sweetness were perfect and came out fast.

My kids swim class is nearby and decided to check it out after class. One family came in before us and there was no-one else there. They have one kiosk for orders which bottle necks as 2 other families came in after me and we were all just waiting as the staff is just waiting for the orders to come in. They should have a POS behind the counter for a live person to take orders as needed as the person in front me took a bit to view the menu and decide what to order. The staff were nice and recommended the best way to eat the bears. We got the oreo and custard flavors. Oreo reminded me of a fried oreo. I wasn't fond of the custard flavor but my son and his family ate it up. The waffle bear its self was nice a crispy. Overall we would come back and try other flavors. They also sell bubble tea which we didn't get today but they had samples of the jasmine milk tea and winter melon milk tea both at 50% sweet. Out of the 2, I preferred the winter melon. They were good but I thought even at 50% sweetness, it was still very sweet. I would probably get 25% as boba/jellies would make it sweeter. Decor is cute. Not fond of the tables/stools as they aren't comfortable and the table easy tips over. My kiddos were trying to climb up to sit on bench/stools and reached up to the table for grip and I had to hold the table in place to prevent it from tipping over.

Super cute Asian-owned boba tea place in Allen/Lucas area. I tried the Korean Strawberry milk tea with boba and my husband got the Refreshing Pink Drink. The boba was cooked really well and both drinks were tasty. We also tried their taiyaki dessert, it's a cute little bears with fillings. We ate the honey&cream and Nutella bears. It was sooo good I bought a whole box to take to my mom for her and I to share. It's family owned and they're super friendly. They even offered samples for us to try but I already knew what I wanted. Please check them out since they've only been open for a couple of months! They also have instagram

This place is amazing!! The bubble tea was tasty but what really stole the show were the Sweet Bear pastries. I tried the Custard and Oreo fillings. The Custard was my favorite, but I was shocked to see a whole Oreo inside the other bear. The Honeydew bubble tea was light and refreshing. They have some seatings, so it's nice to sit and chat with friends.

BEST LITTLE SHOP EVER! Definitely try this out, they have samples of their drinks on the counter. Workers are fast and sweet! Ambiance is cute their story is on the wall, they have little cups with questions.

The bears were so good! Perfect a little crispy outside and soft inside with own filling options.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is so amazing! I get the sweet bear filled with either Nutella or chocolate caramel (there are 8 different options but I can't remember them all) and then you choose an ice cream flavor (also has lots of options, I usually get the vanilla). What you do is break the bear in half and then put some ice cream on the bear to take the bite together. You get the hot bear with the cold ice cream and it is AMAZING! They also have milk teas and I usually get the jasmine milk tea at 50% sweetness (you can choose 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% sweetness, I always pick 50% and that's definitely sweet enough for me). You can add the boba to drinks that don't come with the boba and there are again lots of different ones to choose from. The service is amazing, I love the owners. They're always so happy and excited, it makes the energy in the place so positive. The ambiance is so cute too, they have little conversation starters on the tables which is really cute if you need something to mix it up. I live about 2 minutes from this place and so I go regularly, the owners know me and I recently got a job so when I went in to get my usual order they gave me a box of study snacks to eat while I prepare to take my insurance license exam. It was so sweet and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of their gesture. Highly recommend coming here, you'll definitely want to come back!

Such a cool cafe to have here in Allen! The space is really cozy with greenery and fairy lights lining the walls. Lots of great spots to sit, they have made good use of the space to make plenty of space for people. Easy to order at the kiosk. Very intuitive and you can easily customize your order once adding something. The owner was there handing out orders. He was very kind and made sure everyone was happy with their orders and checking if anyone needed anything. They are still in their soft opening, grand opening is next week starting May 12th. They have some deals coming up that week that look like they are worth checking out! We ordered the taro milk tea, honeydew refresher, a honey and cream taiyaki, and a brown sugar cream taiyaki. Taro milk tea is a go to for us, so we had to try it and see how this one stands up. Have to say, this is one of the best, and creamiest taro milk teas! So good and will definitely get it again! Honeydew refresher is a non caffeinated drink. You can choose to get it carbonated or not. I choose to not get it carbonated this time. It comes with melon flavored jellies in it as well. This drink is for melon lovers! It is sweet, refreshing and delicious! Will be a good go to for summer! The taiyaki were both so fresh and tasty! The honey cream flavor was a little too subtle, wish it was a little more forward with honey flavor. But the brown sugar cream really brought the flavor. Will definitely get that one again! Excited to come back here and to have a tea shop on the east side of town!

Ummm, from someone who used to live in Korea for years and have tried A LOT of boba places, this spot is one of the best. Great service, wide (and incredible selection) and boba tea that's just heavenly. Be sure to try the sweet bear with Nutella. It's like a warm mochi with crispy outside. Absolutely amazing. Highly, highly recommend this spot!!!
