I was craving frozen yoghurt and this hit the spot! We are lacking great fro yo places in the northern Chicago suburbs; drove 20 minutes and this place did not disappoint. No yoghurt aftertaste, just creamy smooth. Favorite flavors were the pistachio and dutch chocolate. So good! Will be back. read more

Underwhelming. First and likely last time here. Yogurt was very average, not much flavor and more icy than creamy. The dry toppings were good. Caramel, hot fudge were plastics containers bought at the grocery store. Pretty lame. Even the girl working the counter was, not necessarily rude, but very indifferent. No thank you, no words. Just told me the price. Some friendly service would be nice. This place can do better. read more

As expected Froyo place! The usual popular flavors. Good selection of toppings and designs on cups. The store appeared clean and tidy. The toppings all nicely distributed into the containers -- no stray toppings in other containers. We made an unexpected stop for a frozen treat and it did not disappoint! read more

This place has changed names and owners at least three times since it opened. The newest incarnation is Sweet Cafe. It looks exactly like the other previous establishments with one exception: snack bags of Lays BBQ potato chips. Yep. You read that correctly. Bags of BBQ chips. We asked why they had them. Perhaps for those that don't like ice cream? Nope. People like to crush them up and put them on their ice cream. What the what?! There are 6 stations for frozen yogurt (I think) which means there are 18 possibilities (two flavors and 1 twist per station) however, there were 4 missing flavors and those that shared stations were weird except for one: chocolate and strawberry. There was a vanilla and a cheesecake twist. Yuck. And a pomegranate passionfruit mixed with Mango surprise. Gross. They just had a lot of blah flavors and nothing exciting. They did have a crapload of boba, mostly strawberry and some black ones, green ones and yellow ones. The labels were half on and half off so it was hard to read what they had. They did have a bunch of larger toppings like half sections of rice Krispy treats, large marshmellows, brownie bites, and more larger bites. There was Hershey chocolate sauce and a caramel sauce plus canned whipped cream (but it was warm sitting on top of the acrylic shelves holding the bags of chips). Yet the weirdest thing at Sweets Cafe was the gentleman working the register & scale. After each party paid for their froyo treats, he grabbed a napkin and then wiped each nozzle on the frozen yogurt machines. With the same napkin on all the machines. We watched him do this five times. A person would pay, he'd then grab a napkin and wipe the nozzles of each machine using that one napkin. Not very sanitary. He was quite diligent in this task. And then he'd use some cleaning agent to wile the counters and floors (again using napkins). The odor was pungent. Something you don't want to smell when indulging in any kind of sweets. I don't think this place will last. I wonder what will take its place. read more

I love it! The boba is affordable and tastes great! I will love to come again! The froyo is great too

Ordered a Thai tea, which was alright. Tapioca balls were cooked but flavorless- I'm used to the brown sugar syrup tapioca balls. Cheap boba but not sure I will be returning :/ read more

An alright froyo option for me. The cafe itself looks quite cute and there's plenty of seating for everyone. In addition to the self-serve froyo they also have different options of smoothie and boba tea options. On my visit they were out of a good number of the flavors, maybe because my visit was in late October, but that also meant that my friends and I relied on toppings rather than froyo to get some variety. On this visit as well, the only fresh fruit option available (despite a fairly large assortment of toppings) was the strawberries. The froyo itself tasted fine, both in the standard dairy and sorbet options but the price felt a bit high at checkout though there was no price listed per ounce, which makes it difficult to compare. read more

My husband and I went to Sweet Cafe with a friend to get dessert. When we went in, we saw that several flavors were missing from the frozen yogurt machines. I got the new York cheesecake and the combination of cookies and cream and Dutch fudge. I added some sprinkles and dark chocolate chips in the mixins area. The cheesecake has a weird flavor to it, but I did enjoy the chocolate flavors. The sitting area was nice, and we were able to enjoy our frozen yogurt there. Overall, it was a nice visit. I'll go back again someday. read more

Customer service was bad and the worker was rude to me and profiled me. I walked in and the store and was stared at by the worker and gave a nasty look. I proceeded to buy some ice cream and came short of my payment. The worker was angry at me and gave me a hard time. I did eventually paid but the worker there was so rude in that moment. I did not also like the unpleasant oder read more

Boba tea, smoothies, frozen yogurt the works. Sweet Cafe is located in a strip right next to Chipotle and behind Cafe Zupas. We came in for a sweet treat after dinner and they close promptly at 9. They have a few different flavors of frozen yogurt with all the toppings for you to choose from, depending on what kind of mixing you add the weight and pricing does add up quickly. The yogurt itself is delicious and creamy and they variety is great for the size of the shop itself. When we got to the front, we were asked to put the cups on the scale for weight. The shop itself is super cute, offering a limited seating if you wanted to sit and enjoy your yogurt, or grab a lid and take it to go. All in all, when we're in the mood for yogurt we'll be back to try some of the other flavors. :) read more

We stopped here on our way back to the city from running errands in the burbs. They don't offer testers anymore which is a bummer. I went with a classic choice of mine at most places like this: cheesecake flavor with cheesecake topping. I was disappointed in the options of flavor and toppings. They only had about half of their yogurt machines filled with flavors so it was slim pickings while we were there. Overall mine was ok, I would have chosen another flavor if I had been able to test it. I've def had better fro-yo before. read more

boba is affordable and always delicious, super nice workers! I love their frozen yogurt as well, there's a lot of flavors & toppings to choose from. Me & my girlfriend's go-to boba spot :-) read more

I visited Sweet Cafe for the first time and am kicking myself that I hadn't tried it before! They have a great selection of boba with different milk teas and smoothies. Service was quick and friendly - highly recommend if you want to support a local business and get a sweet treat! The vibes inside were relaxing as well. read more

didn't even get to try the frozen yogurt because i tried to get a flavor and the machine started screeching loud so i stepped back. the worker was very rude, he came over and said "i don't know why you're touching the machine, i turned it off for a reason" as if i knew something was wrong with it. there was no sign or anything indicating it was broken. he needs to check his attitude. read more

Great boba and good variety. Hours have been varied with the pandemic so please call ahead.

Their ice cream is super good I love the flavors and the topping and thier boba is soooooo good I love thier brown sugar boba tea it's so good I love it I would go super goood service very fast as well read more

Liquid may have the nostalgia/longevity in the area but make no mistake, Sweet Cafe has the best cup of boba and fruit smoothies now. The prices are the same as all other boba spots around but the flavors are just better. Only downside is how early it closes. If it was open til 10 or midnight, I'd be there weekly read more

Their boba tea is way too sweet. I also do not like the fact that they make the drinks behind a wall where I can't see them. There's also this weird robot camera on the counter that followed me the whole time. Not sure if it's a novelty item or someone is actually spying on their customers from a remote location. Either way it was weird and uncomfortable. There is a gummy texture to the milk tea I ordered. It's too sweet to my liking and does not taste anything like milk tea. I feel like their specially and focus is the frozen yogurt and not so much in the milk tea. read more

Was in the area and in the mood for froyo so we stopped in for a sweet treat. Plenty of froyo options, indecisive as I am I got a little bit of almost everything (strawberry cheesecake, chocolate, pistachio, coconut, taro, cupcake, and caramel). The flavors were good, not overwhelming, and they were a good amount of sweetness. I liked their topping options. And I really liked that they had an Acai flavor (dairy free) so you could in essence make your own Acai bowl! Unfortunately for all those lactose intolerant, the Acai was the only non-dairy flavor. They also have shakes and smoothies for those inclined! Located in the plaza, right next to Chipotle. Plenty of parking! read more

They selection of yogurt is fine but there is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I feel like I always get an ugly eye roll as soon as I walk in. They are also super expensive and the scale just keeps jumping and jumping as the yogurt sits there to get it's final weight...probably broken IMO. To top that all off, they didn't even have a lid for my yogurt and my daughter was taking it home to eat after dinner. What kind of yogurt place runs out of lids? I was offered a bag. Really? I would definitely SKIP this place at all costs!!! read more

Came thru again, CLOSED. When are we going to get consistent hours? It can't be hard to post your hours of business!

great food and environment! I love the options they have here too! I kinda sound like an npc but I am real, the owner is incredibly kind and hardworking. please come to his restaurant. read more

Walked in and the place said it was closed by 7pm people are in there as well still hanging out and on the website it says 8pm this is terrible false advertisement change hours on website !!! Drove far to come here. read more

I was craving for a good bubble tea while visiting my family in the suburbs so I went on Yelp and found this place its located on Lake Cook Road next to the chipotle and game stop. My sister and I ordered the Taro tea with tapioca and it was delicious and not too sweet. They have frozen yogurt and different options available, good service and friendly staff. I'd check it out again whenever I'm back in town read more

Perfect froyo, with perfect consistency. Good variety of choices. But would prefer all toppings to be covered. Overall, would definitely recommend this place and we'll come back. read more

Great frozen yogurt/ bubble tea spot! Wide variety of toppings and flavours (Mango's my favourite!)

The drink was good. Boba is fresh, my milk tea was lightly sweetened. I'm unsure if this was fair pricing $5.50 for a boba? Not worth it for me. read more

Haven't had a chance to try them out, but we were a little bummed out because their online hours do not accurately reflect their current open schedule and it wasn't clearly posted on their door. read more

I used to live in San Diego county and I grew accustomed to taro-flavored everything and bubble tea. I squealed when I saw that Sweet! offered taro frozen yogurt and bubble tea! I didn't get a chance to try their bubble tea the last time we went but I did get some taro froyo and it was pretty legit! I mixed it with their pistachio gelato and I was in heaven. I was also impressed with their array of toppings, they have a ton of them, including like 4 flavors of popping boba. I'm def going to try their bubble tea next time. read more

Best of both worlds - fro-yo and boba!!!! I came for the boba which was good. They had Nutella smoothies and boba!!!! Yum! While we waited, the teens and I sampled the fro-yo and that was fun too. I loved the tiramisu best. I will ask for that and boba the next time I'm there. read more

I'm pretty picky with boba places, but was pleasantly surprised with the bubble tea at this froyo shop. The milk tea was great and the boba was soft and warm. They also had a wide froyo selection and had very solid flavors and toppings to choose from. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a dessert place in the Wheeling/Buffalo Grove area. There are also many restaurants nearby, so you can grab dinner and swing by Sweet! for dessert. Last but not least, the staff were very friendly and kept the place very clean. read more

I called Sweet on 12/23 to ask if they were open the next day. The woman on the phone said they were. I show up the next day and they're closed. Honest mistake? Ok, I guess. I complained on Facebook -- twice. Both times the complaint was read and no response. And THAT'S why they get one star. Horrible customer service. read more

If you're looking for the best froyo and boba in wheeling/Buffalo Grove, Sweets is the place to go. All the servers are so "SWEET" with high quality customer service. read more

Came here with a few friends near closing time. They treated us with excellence and cause it was grand opening it was 30% off froyo. The tart was as clean as it comes. The fruit was fresh and the seating was good for a big party. All in all service and desert was amazing. read more

First thing I noticed was how CLEAN this place was! Staff is super friendly and almost ALL the flavors are delicious! What's good is that they also change their flavors so it's not alway the same boring thing. And their milk teas are sooo good. Good variety on Froyo toppings too. The taro Froyo is a fave.. try it, trust me! read more

First to review! This place is under new management and you can already tell the quality of the yogurt and toppings are so much better. More flavors and variety! A welcomed addition to the neighborhood. read more
