I came in to a very clean and cute aesthetic cafe. I liked the artwork and how bright it was. I was immediately greeted, too. The only thing is that I wish that they had more baked goods on their bakery shelves. Some of the names weren't actually the product behind it. I would have loved to try some basque cheesecake but it looks like it was sold out. I got the tiramisu crepe cake and a brown sugar milk tea. It was Thursday so milk teas are 20% off. I love me some tiramisu and had never seen a crepe cake version. So I got it. It had a strong coffee taste but still creamy and I always enjoy a crepe cake so I think it was nice blend of a tiramisu and crepe cake. The brown sugar milk tea was made to the sugar level I wanted. I wanted 30% so it wasn't clawingly sweet. I'd come back again. It was a positive experience.
This place had been on my list to try for awhile. They have cakes and frozen yogurt bites. I felt the cashier was very patient with a family in front of me that couldn't make up their mind. There is minimal seating inside. I went with a oreo cheesecake that cost 9.50 a slice! The cheesecake portion was tasty. I was not a fan of the chocolate on top. They dusted it with cocoa powder. They also gave me a plastic fork to eat it with that was not strong enough to get thru it. Very beautiful presentation of items and would make a nice gift. Their signage states items best eaten within 1 day of purchase. Just an ok from me.
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.
Such a cute bakery. Everything we ordered was Delicious! We will be back very soon. We ordered Tiramisu and spring cheesecake. Mango passion fruit tea was so light refreshing. Matcha brown sugar Boba was perfect.
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.
Friendly staff. All the desserts looked delicious. Tons of drink options from Boba to coffee.
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!
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
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
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!!!
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 !
Visiting from Cali and needed some good Asian sweets and boba. So glad to find both in one shop. The boba wasn't overly sweet and tasted great. You can customize by adding more sugar or more ice. It's packaged in such a way where you can transport them easily without spillage. The cakes were all amazing. I got the mango and strawberry one and both were delish. The Japanese cheesecake was also very fluffy and airy. Service was efficient. read more

I took my sister and cousin here after lunch at Katy's Dumplings. It's such a cute little place with so many different beverage options as well as dessert. Their cakes aren't too sweet so I especially like them. This Dubai chocolate cake in a can was a little difficult to eat. The presentation is cute but not so much functional. I wish I was able to really dig in and scoop up each layer but it was difficult with the tiny opening so it almost needed to be eaten layer by layer. I got the ube milk tea with real ube mixed in. We also admired all the art work on the walls that the owner did. Our beverages came out fast and we were able to sit and chat on their cute seating areas. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We were visiting a neighboring restaurant and stumbled upon this cafe. As a houseplant lover, I loved the vibes here! I ordered the taro milk tea (25% sugar), and I really enjoyed my drink! The tapioca was soft and chewy, and the tea flavor was strong. I also really liked the taro puree which provided a welcome texture contrast. Taro can be artificial and cloying sometimes, but this puree tasted fresh! I didn't try any of their sweets, but they looked very enticing. Service was nice and efficient. A solid boba experience! read more

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! read more
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. read more

OMG!! I am so happy I found this bakery. Let me tell you, I love Asian bakery because their pastries are not too sweet and it's fluffy and airy. The interior is so cute and clean. Great place to come with friends and grab some desserts and drinks or even a good spot to study/do some work. The girl working there was so sweet. They are doing a promo right now where if you spend roughly $10 I think, you get a free medium drink. I ordered the strawberry cake cup and passion fruit crepe cake and let me tell you, they were all so delicious. The sparkling water drinks were delicious and I'm not a sparkling water type of gal. read more

This adorable korean-inspired bakery and cafe is tucked away in the Chicago suburbs, or else it would've gone viral if it was located in the city. The interior is bright and minimalistic with light wood tables and a plethora of plants. Menu has lots of fun creative drinks. A variety of pretty desserts were on display at the counter. What I got: -Meteorolite Latte: I was drawn in by the unique-sounding name of this drink, and ended up being impressed by an equally unique-tasting latte. This latte had bits of a fruity jam mixed into it that added a subtle sweetness. - Mango soufflé cake: light, airy, not too sweet, but still fruity and delicious. Almost too adorable to eat. I love this little gem of a cafe! Def deserves more recognition! It's instagrammable and cute, and the food/drinks don't disappoint. read more

I went to Sweet General Bakery Cafe in Westmont today and got a lovely ice coffee and some dessert for later. They have a lot of choices for drinks and they even have the Japanese cheesecake for sale at a very decent price. They also sell slices too in case you don't want to tempt yourself with a whole cheesecake. I highly recommend this place. read more

Loved the selection of sweets at this bakery. We couldn't decide between 3 items in particular. So we got all 3! Plus a small jar of oreo nougats. We thoroughly enjoyed them all. Our fave was the tiramisu and black forest cake. So yummm!! The nougats were a pleasant surprise goodness. Everything was just the right amount of sweetness. Except for the young lady at the register - she was super sweet! read more
I can't believe I am just now finding this cute cafe! The inside is so modern and clean. You can see the kitchen too where they make their cakes and pastries. They have a select selection of cakes and other baked goods such as the crepe cake I got. They have a wide range of smoothies and teas with boba. The people that work there are so friendly and down to earth. It was very quiet and I liked the Christmas decorations they had. The mango smoothie I got was 10/10! I would highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back! read more
