    Sweet Box cookie booth at Cerritos Mall next to the food court
    Therisa C.

    This place is not welcoming to Black people. I have purchased here several times and never have I received a welcoming greeting. With the political and social climate that we are currently experiencing, I am on higher alert to establishments that make me feel uncomfortable. I went to the Cerritos mall the day before my birthday to get my favorite cookies, when I stepped to the counter the owner was actually working the counter. She looked at me directly in the face, turned her back, and went to take care of other things inside her booth while I stood there for a total of 4 1/2 minutes waiting for her to acknowledge me. Or ask me to give her a moment so that she could take care of what was suddenly so urgent when I arrived. When she finally decided to give me her attention she walked over to the glass where I was standing, and said yes, and that's it. I lost it. Needless to say, I walked away from that counter with her knowing exactly how I felt about her service and her business. I didn't want to jump to conclusions so my mother and I got some food and sat down directly across from her establishment to watch and see if this experience was had by other people, specifically those of color. I watched this lady countless times hurry to service people that aren't the same colors as me. There was one customer that came to her booth that looked like me. It was a man with his children. They received almost the same service that I did. She sat in her booth and waited at least 2 to 3 minutes before she finally got up, walked to the counter, and just looked him in the face. No communication, no smile, nothing. This man still purchased with this woman and left the counter. I wish that he had been more aware of what was happening to him and his children. Needless to say, I hope that she changes her attitude towards people of color, specifically African-American customers. I saw plenty of Hispanicscustomers go to her booth, and she jumped to service them. Crappy ambience honestly

    My, oh, my. Don't you have a Sweet Box? *giggle* https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=af9xe4lMULS-OWblJMXrnw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA After taking a macaron-making class at "The Gourmandise School" in Santa Monica almost a decade ago, I've grown to appreciate those tasty lil' buggers. After seeing Snowfox close up, to be replaced by Sweet Box, macaron hunger pangs engulfed me, awaiting Sweet Box to open. Macarons have 2 distinctions - regular & special. Naturally, I had to go for special macarons, if only because they're too cute. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aSVGzCYXY_smSmrPheDIng&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Cocoa & nutella macarons- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-ZhLGUWgjaeVZS-8f-SN7Q&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA I highly enjoyed these macarons, moreso cocoa. They both had a good amount of filling, with the macarons having a little bite to them. Not too sweet, either. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=YzfvWOQ8dg82Yydr255yHw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The young woman behind the counter was busy decorating a fresh batch of macarons out of the oven, but quickly assisted me with my order. The macarons are allowed to cool, then individually wrapped, to save for later or to give away. Sweet Box is located in front of the food court at Los Cerritos Center. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-UzQYjLzVrR865uI9wfjrw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Call me the Macaron Mack Daddy, for I love me some macarons! Sweet Box has a box of awesomeness awaiting you. Their macarons are the real deal, and since I haven't visited in awhile, methinks I need to gift myself a box, sooner rather than later. Highly recommend!

    This macaron shop is near the food court at the mall. These are the best macarons I have tried! They are a good size. They have a lot of flavor and the filling is perfect. Not too sweet or thick like most I have tried. I love the pistachio, vanilla, strawberry and earl gray.

    Not only cute but seriously tangy and tasty 5/5. It's seriously worth the price I paid for them!

    Not only adorable, but tasty too!!! I accidentally came across Sweet Box only because I wanted to walk off my lunch and the mall was an air conditioned place to do it. So I was wandering with no destination in mind and I come across the Sweet Box kiosk. So freaking cute!!! This place is NOT cheap and being that the macarons were so cute, I figured they only looked good but didn't hold much weight in the flavor department. I was wrong. I enjoy macarons on rare occasions because they are usually too sweet but I thought that Sweet Box did a great job in the balance of sweetness, chewiness, and presentation. I would definitely recommend this place to others. After bringing them home and trying them, I was thinking of who's bday was coming up so I could buy them some. Out of the dozen I bought, the Earl Grey was my favorite. The Strawberry was good as well as it had a real fruit flavor to it. Piece of advise. Don't let them sit in your car or in a warm area as the filling will melt. I learned the hard way. I still ate all of them though. The service was good but I did feel a little rushed. I didn't understand why being that there was no one in line but I did feel rushed. She wasn't rude but she kept looking over her shoulder like she had something else to get to.

    Stumbled across this cute store while going around the mall. The macarons were so cutely decorated and tasted really good (´`)ノ I tried the ghost macarons and the grape tanghulu. It was my first time trying tanghulu and it wasn't that sticky and the grapes were sweet. My boyfriend said it was too sweet but that's just his taste ( ̄ ̄) The worker was so sweet and very nice!

    They have the cutest macarons ever! There's usually a wide variety of animals if you come early. They are a bit on the pricey side for macarons but definitely worth it if you have the money! I religiously get my salted caramel duckies here. Ahh as an fyi though, they are a small business and due to them being under staffed they may sometimes take awhile to serve you - I once waited over 5 minutes to be served because the staff were hard at work decorating the next batch of cookies. So please be patient with them, they're trying their best!

    Flavors: Vanilla Bean, Red Velvet, Matcha, Cookies & Cream, Nutella, and Strawberry. 12 pack for $28

    Flavors: Vanilla Bean, Red Velvet, Matcha, Cookies & Cream, Nutella, and Strawberry. As you can tell, I already ate half the box. Out of all these flavors my favorite were Vanilla Bean and Nutella. But all of them were really really good. Not intensely sweet...just perfect. Probably the best macarons I've had in a while. Definitely recommend this place!

    Here is proof of the mold on the macaron.

    I had come here for some macarons, especially after a long day. The presentation of the macarons are quite lovely and they tasted well. However, i had opened up one of the macarons to discover there was mold on the cookie. I was extremely disappointed considering this was my first time at this place. I could've had an adverse reaction to the mold, not to mention this is not checked for quality at all, so who knows how long the macaron could've been sitting for if mold was able to grow inside. I'm extremely disappointed, so I recommend being weary and double checking before taking the first bite.

    13 macaroons for $33!

    Good selection of delicious macaron. I was worried they wouldn't taste fresh but they surprisingly had very good texture and flavor!

    Hello, I noticed a…read morerecent review by a woman named Corrine M. listing a 1 star review following her visit to the Cerritos location. I was also there during that day wanted to say that it wasn't at all how the situation unfolded; to clarify it was definitely busy and the 2 boys at the bar station were getting absolutely swamped by orders. It was understandable that they were behind and could not keep track of every drink being made. The lady, Corrine, however made a very big scene when she noticed that her drink was definitely missing. The boy in the colored shirt whom I assume is the manager apologized for the inconvenience and went to make the replacement drink right away. While he did this the lady started to use profane language and did in fact grab the tote bag to toss. The manager did politely ask that she not throw the bag as it is still merchandise. He promptly offered them a refund for their transaction and an apology for the inconvenience. Im obviously very nosy so I listened in on the entire thing. She WAS NOT accused of stealing but I do however think it was an overreaction. I hope this helps and for the record the 2 boys on the bar area handled their rush like 2 champions.

    Service: 3.5 stars Brown Sugar Oat Latte: 3.5 stars…read moreBrioche: 2 stars (dry) In the span of 1-week, I happened to stop by 2 separate 85°C Bakery Cafe locations (Tustin, Cerritos). It has been so long since I've been to this plaza for Gen, that 85°C Bakery Cafe was not even open yet! We were down the street at Canaan and we wanted to grab coffee (and bread). We saw the Brioche tray "fresh" from the kitchen so we decided to grab one. Even though this Brioche was "fresher" than the ones from the Tustin location, this one was dryer. The Tustin location was pretty bare bones in their bread offerings, barely any bread for customers to purchase as compared to this location where each tray was full. The lines to the counter were also very long. When another customer (with their family) came in, they were like "What, is coffee free?" I joked with them as well since it seemed like it, with the amount of customers lined up everywhere. Good thing I placed a kiosk order for my coffee first so that was ready before I even reached the counter, helped me save time. Kiosk Order: Brown Sugar Oat Latte (Medium, Hot) $5.75 Counter: Brioche $2.85 As I mentioned in my review for the Tustin location, I am very disappointed that 85°C makes their customers purchase bag(s) and box(es) for their bread and cakes. One can bring their own bags but if one was purchasing an entire box of bread to treat others, one does have to purchase a box, for presentation. This is not a supermarket. This is not to help the environment, this is greed, plain and simple. Bag(s) $0.10 Box(es) $0.15 I do love that their coffee was extremely hot - it was still hot by the time I arrived home around 35 minutes later. I dislike lukewarm coffee, especially lattes. For flavored lattes, I normally order them half sweet, but I forgot to check if I could do that through the kiosk. The Brown Sugar was a bit too sweet for me, but it was not overpowering and the Oat Milk was a nice balance. For the price and the size of the cup, it was most certainly reasonably priced. This location has many tables for customers to enjoy their drinks and goods. This location is one of the busiest I have been to in awhile, and I used to line up for over an hour when the Irvine location first opened up. Parking can be a hit or miss, but we were lucky to find a spot right in front of the entrance.
