    Ice Taro Mochi Cake, Tiramisu Mille Crepe Cake, strawberry cheesecake
    Stephanie S.

    A friend brought over these desserts to share 1. Ice taro mochi cake - unique. I had never had anything like it. The cake was fluffy even after a few days but I wished there was more mochi. Also the taro flavor could have been stronger. 2. Tiramisu crepe cake - was ok. Nothing really stood out 3. Strawberry cheesecake - I prefer less cream on top.

    Stopped in for a quick treat and coffee before a meeting. We ordered cappuccino and 2 desserts both of which were subpar . Space is cute and staff are friendly. I wouldn't come back, we are spoiled by delicious baked goods downtown.

    Service was amazing. The woman at the counter was super sweet and helpful!! They have daily specials Monday - Friday. We went in on a Monday and cakes were buy one get one 1/2 off!! Everything was so delicious and reasonably priced. The inside is gorgeous and romantic! This is now one of my favorite bakeries!

    Mango Pomelo Cake

    Wow what a treat. This cake shop has a cozy, inviting vibe and all the cakes are delicious. I got the mango pomelo cake and it was light, fluffy and you could really taste the pomelo flavor. The cream reminded me of a fruit boba drink with how fresh everything was. You can tell the cake is using top quality ingredients. The service here is super friendly and helpful too. They explained the popular cakes and which ones were more seasonal. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area. Highly recommend coming here if you have a sweet tooth. They also have boba drinks and coffee.

    Love that the desserts aren't as sickeningly sweet as most bakeries. The service is friendly. And, there are so many interesting choices. Tried the sesame coconut jello and the tiramisu. Delicious! Will be back to try morel

    You know the ambient coffeehouse videos on YouTube? That's what this place feels like. Great service, great boba, cute shop for hanging out. Adorable cakes and birthday candles for sale. Located right next to an Indo-Pak grocery *and* dim sum. I wish it opened earlier in the morning and maybe had more comfortable seating, but those do not detract from the overall experience. An absolute gem !

    This was the third time I've been here and the first couple times the food and the service were superb. 11/22/23 around 6:10-6:15 pm, it seemed the service has declined and the food stayed consistently good. When we walked in, we were not greeted until a few mins later. The employee was too busy talking to some homeless kid that was loitering around and not buying anything. After those few mins, the employee finally gave us some decent service. The place was clean. Recommendation: you probably have to re-train that employee on how to provide better service to paying customers. Also, you shouldn't let loiterers in unless they can at least buy a drink at min. Sesame cake 4/5

    Medium milk tea with boba

    I was in the area for lunch and the cafe caught my attention. Initially I thought I'd just grab a drink, but the Japanese cheesecake looked good. I went with a milk tea with boba and a slice of the cheesecake. The milk tea was ok, good sweetness level, but a little weak/watered down for my preference. I had the cheesecake when I got home and it was delicious. It's also not that sweet, but a really unique texture of firm and tight crumb, but still very light and tender. I wouldn't even know what to quite compare it to and I could have eaten a lot more. I'm going to have to try more Japanese cheesecake now. The man working the counter was very friendly and helpful. Service was fast.

    We stumbled across this cute little bake shop while waiting for our pizza and decided to pick these 2 dessert up to bring home to try it with my boys. Service was sooooo nice and they were soooo knowledgeable! I was looking for a new bakery to customize my cakes and I think I will give Sweet General a try after trying out these 2 desserts my boys absolutely loved it!!!

    Super cute and cozy spot! Love the warm lights and all the little art on the wall. The cakes taste really fresh and not too sweet -- crepe cakes are my favorite. Chill place to sit down with friends and the staff are always kind!

    Sweet General is in the corner spot of this quaint plaza. The interior is not huge, but adequately sized. It has sort of a Japandi design scheme. We ordered a Mango pomelo cake, an oat milk iced latte, and blue coconut iced latte. The cake was delicious. The quality of the cream was top-notch. It wasn't heavy or greasy. My wife enjoyed her latte; she appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. The coconut latte was pretty good and the light blue color was interesting, but I didn't taste any coconut. Service was friendly and pricing was similar to other Asian dessert spots.

    I have major sweet tooth and I was beyond elated when I realized Sweet Tooth is not long far-fetched in Naperville/Aurora but instead closer to home! The mister's birthday was coming and we are all huge fans of Asian dessert. That is inherently a cause for happy indulgence. I stopped by on a weekend and placed an order for a four inch chocolate cherry cake for pickup in a few days. At the time of pickup, they notified me that there was a miscommunication and they did not have the chocolate cherry cake made. They apologized profusely and asked for me to choose a different four inch cake in addition to gifting us with several other treats. I ended up selecting the mango passion fruit cake as a replacement which was superb. It was subtly sweet and it retained very strong mango flavors. They gifted us with the Japanese light cheesecake, chocolate box cake, and custard cream cake. Their actions really magnified the extent of their sincere apologies and their gesture was beyond generous. They also offered us candles for the birthday celebration but I declined because I felt like the mistake was simple and the treats definitely compensated and won us over. We look forward to returning and trying more of their desserts!

    Part 1 of 5 Memorial Day weekend APIHM series. Cute small pastry, fruit drink, and tea shop tucked in the corner of the strip mall. The deserts are beautifully decorated and look absolutely delicious. With many choice of drinks to choose from, I opted for the grapefruit sparkling water. It was refreshing with a slice and pulps of a grapefruit. I enjoyed it very much. I also picked up a piece of chocolate box cake for my mom. She munched on it before I had a chance to take a photo. She said it was one of the best chocolate cakes she ever had. The Cafe is spotless and clean. There are plenty of tables and seating. I had a chance to chat with the owner operator who was kind and friendly. I'd definitely return when I'm in the area.

Some of my favorites are the chorizo breakfast wrap, the roast beef panini, and their signature Italian wedding soup. My wife and I usually add a side trio to get some greens in as well, which is always a great complement to our meal. Service is straightforward. You order up at the counter, grab your number, and find a seat. Just a note that it can get busy on weekends and during peak lunch hours, so plan accordingly. In addition, they also have a full coffee bar if you're in the mood for an espresso or specialty drink. Solid lunch spot that we keep coming back to. I'm a fan. 'Til next time, cheers!

My latte was mediocre at best. It wasn't very flavorful, and it wasn't very coffee forward, so I wonder if they use less shots of espresso than is standard or less strong espresso. The thing that bothered me most though was that the barista swirled my drink in front of me, it splashed all over out of the top and sides of the lid, and instead of fixing it or apologizing (or even just acknowledging it!!!!), he proceeded to hand it to me and said "have a great day!" I walked over with my baby in tow and cleaned it up myself. It was SO odd to me. The space is bright, there are plenty of seats, and parking is easy. Such a shame that I didn't like the actual latte more! :/

I had one of the best experience. From the adorable location of the Bakery, to the wonderful service and lets not forget the super delicious food! Inside of the place consist of about 4 tables and some high tops. It's in a cute little house with a rustic feel of wood that I love. A IG worthy name wall and super clean! Which is very important to me. The gentleman behind the counter was soooo nice, friendly, knowledgeable and I wonder if he's the owner but I am all about supporting local small businesses. I would come back for the service alone! I don't eat meat so I ordered the Portobello, red pepper and havarti cheese sandwich. My bestie ordered the ham and cheese and both was amazing!!! Mine wasn't overly salty, cheese was gooey, mushrooms and peppers was deliciously seasoned and best of all, the sandwich was crispy to the bite! Free parking right outside of the restaurant and free water for your convenience. I already have a coffee but we both took some pulled pork, chicken and spinach empanadas to go and everything was amazing! 10/10 on everything! Can't wait to bring my family to try the sweets and other stuff like acai bowl, cookies, cake jar and much much more!!! Please stop in and try it for yourself! You will fall in love! I know I did!
