I came here on Sunday afternoon to grab a drink before walking around the outdoor shopping center. This was my first time, so I took a look at the menu and ordered the iced matcha latte. I watched the employee make it, and I was definitely skeptical after seeing her mix very little matcha powder into very little liquid. It came out in a timely manner, but there was barely any matcha flavor whatsoever. The drink was almost pale, and it was extremely watery. It was as if I was drinking plain, unsweetened milk with little chunks of undissolved matcha powder. Horrible. WORST matcha latte I've had in my life. The employees were very professional when it came to me wanting a different drink. The staff offered to remake the drink, but there was no way I was going to try that mess again. I opted for the sweet dream, which is a caramel and hazelnut coffee drink. The hazelnut was a bit overpowering, but this came with a much happier ending than the matcha latte. read more

I recently visited Sweet after hearing great things about their delicious pastries and well-run operation. While I was impressed with how efficiently everything seemed to be running--everything from the display to the checkout line was disorganized and inefficient. I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the customer service. Appalled. The staff (during the operation hours of 2000-2030 on 09NOV2024), while moving quickly, seemed entirely disinterested in engaging with customers. There was no warmth or personal touch to the interaction, and I felt more like a transaction than a valued guest. A simple greeting or even a smile would have made a big difference. It's a shame, because the bakery has a lot of potential, being in the City Centre, in terms of product quality. However, the lack of friendly and inefficient service really detracts from the overall experience. I hope they consider putting more focus on the customer experience, as the quality of the baked goods is definitely worth a return visit--but not if the service stays the same. read more

Have you ever wanted to go to an establishment based on the name alone or because you wanted just one item from them? SWEET did this for me for sure. The place is decent but some items need work. They really have a lot of items to choose from and also would be great for birthday and wedding needs. That is if you really like the product. It would be good to visit when they first open to get the freshest items. That is true for most bakeries although some are so popular that they take extra steps to ensure moistened and freshness or they are baking their items throughout the day. I ordered a charcoal lemonade- the reason for my order. I was so intrigued! The lemonade was fresh and sweetened with agave. It's supposed to detoxify your system. I also got a Dragon fruit lemonade that was sweetened with agave and is supposed to provide antioxidants. Both VERY GOOD! Tart and not that sweet! Gimme, gimme! It's unpasteurized so not for some. I ordered a marbled pound cake and an inner chocolate cake and both were dry and tasted rather stale. So may have been a few days old. They would have been good if fresh. I shall return though. I'll give them another try. read more

Whenever I'm in the area, I always stop by to get some macaroons!! They're so yummy and tasty. The place is very small, but very cute. We aim for the fruity pebble, strawberry, pistachio, cookies n' creme, red velvet flavors, it's our go tos. Recently when they had the $1 special, they had milk tea flavor and let me tell u....it was delicious!!!! read more

I love this place but what I don't like is that the employees close when ever they want even tho it says it closes at 10pm it was 910pm when we got there and they were locking the door. read more

Went a hour before closing but they said they already closed coffee bar even though I've gotten it closer to closing.

Been here several times and always go for the macarons. I love each and every flavor of them, and they offer great $1 specials during their anniversary and perhaps a handful of other times around the year. Specialty macarons are delish as well! Love their creme brulee and birthday cake ones in particular. read more

I wrote a review a year ago not satisfied with how the macarons had been turning out at the time. BUT I've been back and the macarons have been really tasty! Special shoutout to Holly for her exceptional customer service! She is always so sweet and helpful! read more

As other reviews have stated, customer service isn't the best. No warm welcomes but maybe a poor attempt at smiles. Quite a small spot and everything looks inviting in the glass cases. Tried an almond croissant which was ok... needed more almond paste. Also tried 3 extra small cronuts which were almost the size of donut holes! Good flavor... probably better if warmed but the price will make you gasp in horror. $4.00 for cream filled! Whaaaaat? We were drawn to this place by the reviews so expectations were high. Left disappointed. We tried it. That's all I gotta say. read more

Came in after Happy Hour on a Thursday. Decided to tug their decaf coffee and some macarons. Spent $15 for a small decaf latte and 4 little macarons!! Place is expensive and their decaf coffee was extremely sweet where I couldn't enjoy it. Pros were that they have great customer service and the taste of the macarons were yummy! Probably wouldn't come back... other cafes that will give you more of a bang for your buck. read more

So much potential. Beautiful desserts, delicious cold brew and moist carrot cake, lovely light and airy shop, service was ok, the flavor on the macaroons was amazing, but most were not tender. Only 1 out of 5 were tender. A hard macaroon is a real turn off and can lead people to believe they don't like them. Overall an ok experience. read more

Yesterday, my sister and I went to pick up 1 order of macarons (24-24-12 count) that was placed online. It was for Sweet's birthday $1 event. When we got home, we realized 3 macarons were missing. The 24-count macarons were missing 2 macarons, the green tea raspberry and cookies n' creme. And the other 24-count macarons; it was missing 1 creme brûlée macaron. On the receipt they put a mark next to the creme brûlée macaron even though it was not in the box. We were charged $4 extra for the macarons that we did not even get. We also left them a tip, when we prepaid the day before not knowing there would be a few macarons missing. The order #: 1049713664 read more

Recently My husband was in the area & decided to bring home some cup cakes. He purchased 6 for $34 (that was including tip). My niece & I each had one & both were stale. I called and asked to speak to a manager. I won't put her name here. I told her about the quality of the cupcakes. She said that is NOT possible. I told her well I ate it and yes it is. I asked how fresh they were - she said they are "delivered" every morning and then went on about the bakery being cold and maybe that's why. I told her if she thought it was about the money it's not. After some additional back and forth I just disconnected the call. The attitude and her alluding to me being a liar is not warranted. I simply wanted her to understand that this could've been a bad batch and maybe she should check. She didn't care. Quite frankly by her demeanor she was right and I was wrong. I did send a message via their website and have had no one reach out yet. Please train your staff on customer service. Sad to say the cupcakes we bought from Kroger that day as well turned out better. read more

Cupcakes are yummy and I love their bubble tea but this place will overcharge you!!! Several times, I have felt like my bubble tea has had more ice than milk tea. One time I asked for less ice and they charged me .75 extra for this request. I decided not to do that again and just let it go. Today, I ordered a few things and decided to look at my receipt closely. I'm not sure if this is what businesses are doing these days but I'm definitely not happy with how much they overcharge at this place. "Covid surcharge" and "environmental tax" in addition to "sales tax." My husband ordered a milk tea with a shot of espresso and this is the breakdown for this beverage $5+$1.75+ .20 covid charge+ .34 environmental tax + .57sales tax= $7.86 Had they actually had tapioca they would've added an additional.75. Are you kidding me?! Ummm it was good but not THAT good!!! I really want to support this local business and I really like their treats but good gracious this is dumb! When I called to ask about the Covid charge, they said it was to cover the cost of hand sanitizer and masks. Not sure why I'm paying for these things if I wasn't given a mask or any hand sanitizer. I think by supporting their business I'm doing my share! Their cupcakes are delicious and If you don't mind being overcharged like a mother then by all means get your overpriced goodies here. I, on the other hand, cannot justify spending almost $8 on milk tea with subpar customer service. read more

I love this bakery! They literally have the best macarons in town! I'm never disappointed. Their macarons have the perfect consistency and the filling melts in your mouth. I highly recommend. I also had a caramel macchiato, it was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. read more

Some great macarons, however the practice of their employees of not informing the customer that they charge you even for the small cardboard box and the bow is misleading. Usually you pay and don't even ask, but this last time I visited SWEET, I noticed it. This is not OK. I paid almost $50 for a dozen macarons and 3 or 4 extras. I think the least the owner could do is pay for the boxes because they are very delicate and cannot be put in a plastic bag. I chose them over many other places in Houston and travel 30 minutes away, but I don't think it's worth it to keep going to their store. read more

No like it used to be. The macaroons are overly filled and incredibly sweet. The lavender macaroons used to be divine and now they have an artificial taste. Picked up chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies; was so excited to see that they had some in the store and was extremely disappointed upon consuming. The cookie was hard and overly sweet. Most of what we purchased will end up in the trash. Very disappointing. read more

Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Sweet has a super sweet staff. If you are looking to satisfy your sweet cravings, I highly recommend Sweet! read more

Super aesthetically pleasing bakery in City Center. Their cake, cupcakes, and macarons were good and service was okay, but the space itself is beautiful and what will probably get me to come back next time I'm in the area. read more

We were looking for something sweet after a meal at a nearby restaurant, and what better place to go than something called Sweet? They have a very large selection so choosing what to get was a bit tough, in a good way, but unfortunately I wasn't super stoked with what I chose. I opted to try 2 of their mini cronuts, the cinnamon-sugar and the cream filled. Both, oddly enough, were not sweet enough for my liking and seemed a bit stale (likely because we went at night so if they were made early in the day, that would make sense). They weren't bad by any means, but I was left a little unsatisfied. The others I were with got a cupcake and mini cheesecake and they both seemed to enjoy, so I think I just picked the wrong thing. I will be back to try something different in the future. read more

The tiramisu cupcake is a dream! I am not usually a cake person but I adore these. Just beautiful. The red velvet is adorable with the tiny heart on top, and the strawberry cupcake - so so good. I cannot say enough about the flavors. So distinct in each cupcake. I even loved the icing! read more

The entire place is very cute and has a great ambience. Their macarons are also great but I wouldn't classify them as the best. They are the typical macarons you would find anywhere else. However, they have very nice flavors and really have a good variety of what they have to offer. Would highly recommend the creme brûlée, rose, and pistachio flavors! I would suggest this place to a friend! Please follow @riyas.ravishing.eats on Instagram :))) read more

Sweet! What a shame, today just got me as I took the time to wait for that 8am opening time. Been supporting you for the past 6 years and as of today your new employees may have officially run me off. Getting coffee and tacos in the morning shouldn't end in frustration quite so often, you're either out of cold brew, tacos, or both. A side note for anyone still willing to deal with their complete lack of organization and seemingly bothering their employees (all but one, who is always very sweet, by even being there ordering. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure to ask if they have salsa before ordering tacos, half the time they do not and it is a major let down when you open up that bag to find a couple lonely soggy tortilla tacos that you've been making excuses for the last 6 years, because something about that sweet salsa makes up for it. Their tacos cannot stand on their own without it, just a waste of $6 and the time it takes me off route for some flavorless disappointment. I realize times are tough, but losing customers doesn't make them any easier. Ha, to top it all off, she gave me the wrong damn tacos...unbelievable.

Love the macaroons!! Pistachio is my favorite!! Just try but it gets very busy and cars line up on the edge because of shop location. So just keep that in mind read more

This review is solely based of customer service, as I never got to try the macaroons. My friend had mentioned this place, as a lover of macaroons I was intrigued. They had an anniversary sale, macaroons for $1. Can't beat that so I ordered the minimum (24 macaroons) for pick up. Upon arrival at the appointed time, the place was a mess. We were told to call when arrived so they could bring the macaroons to us curbside. No one ever answered the phone. Finally got off to be told to write my name down on a paper, which i did. As I waited there I spoke to a couple of the people waiting outside. They had a pickup time two hours earlier, and they were still waiting for their macaroons. I'm sorry but that is not worth the $1 macaroons. After 45 minutes I just left with no macaroons. As this place isn't near my house, it wasn't somewhere I could easily get to. I expected maybe they'd call the next day to say my order was still there, never happened. After a few days I emailed them expressing my experience and wanting my money back. No one ever responded. I understand an event like that leads to a huge demand but what is the point of online reservations with slot times for pickup if they can't be handled. The workers there were obviously overwhelmed by the angry and annoyed customers, not their fault. Definitely left a bad taste in mouth, no pun intended since I never got to try them. read more

I've always been more of a mild fan of macarons. They're good, but not my favorite baked good. Maybe my tastes have changed though, because the ones from SWEET are giving me a whole new outlook! I came here and got a set of 6 macarons for $14. It's a painful price, but one I'm willing to settle for when it comes to trying recommended desserts. My six macarons were fruity pebbles, vanilla, honey lavender, green tea, creme brulee, and rose. The top three for me were probably fruity pebbles, green tea, and creme brulee. For the creme brulee in particular, the icing inside was so soft and pillowy. The green tea had a raspberry icing with a bit of jam in the middle, which I really liked to offset the subtlety of the green tea. Fruity pebbles is just something that's hard to screw up, and almost always a win for me...what more can I say? The creme brulee macaron was about $3 but the rest were $2.25 or something. Ridiculous pricing, but...worth it if you're looking to treat yourself. read more

I haven't been coming back as often as before unless there was a special sale on the macarons or drinks. It's not that the quality has worsen or anything, but because the cravings are not prevalent any longer. If I do come back, it's mostly for the MILK TEA because it's not overly sweet and it's light/refreshing. The tapiocas are good too when it's done right. It's just the right amount of soft chewiness. I also ordered a CUSTOM NUMBER CREAM TART CAKE. It looked really cute, but it wasn't worth the price. I ordered two numbers and the grand total was $80. Flavor was nothing spectacular. It was just a basic almond sponge cake with mascarpone and some macarons on top. I wouldn't order it again. Not my favorite spot to stop in anymore, but sometimes I just need something sweet and quick. read more

A friend visited Houston and was gracious enough to bring me back goodies from SWEET. OMG I am forever indebted! I absolutely loved my macaroon flavor options, listed in order of deliciousness: Pistachio, Blueberry, Rose, Salted Caramel, Hazelnut and Coconut. Each were the perfect texture, beautifully coated shell, moist inside, supple and flavored of taste to match its name. I was also gifted with cupcakes: Salted Caramel, Red Velvet and Strawberry. Each had a whipped icing that melted in my mouth instantly. The cake was soft and preserved well over the 2 days it took to arrive in my kitchen. These pastries were obviously made with TLC. I could not only see it in the presentation but it was also in the taste. I only wish I was able to visit this little gem myself. I'll definitely be there next time I'm in H-Town! read more

I'd like to give SWEET a big high-5 and a hug for making my baby shower as sweet as the delicious cupcakes they provided. SWEET is a little morsel of a shop tucked away in the CityCentre around the corner from the Yard House (which is also deeeelicious) and RA sushi. I had a little issue with parking because I had to pay to park although I was just picking up my order, but quickly got over it once I stepped into SWEET's shop. There is a really nice vibe inside, like a comfy, yet modern, and clean/minimalist kind of feel. That seems to be the trend these days. I was greeted by fresh trays of just-iced cupcakes, still sitting in their sheet pans, teasing me on the counter. I love that all the cupcakes are decorated differently from garnish to icing style. It makes me not care to ask, "What kind of cupcake is that?" --- I'd rather be asking, "Can I get one of each?" They had little macaroons displayed around as well, and I'm not sure how I passed up splurging on some because they looked very cute and tasty. I made the call 2 nights before to pre-order 1 dozen strawberry mini-cupcakes (strawberry icing), and 1 dozen chocolate mini-cupcakes (chocolate icing/chocolate ganache) for my baby shower. I asked them to do "sprinkles" (more like sugar that sparkles) for 4 chocolate and 4 strawberry, and they gave me no hassle and threw it in as a complimentary service. While waiting in line for my cupcakes I had a 5 minute staring contest with a Hummingbird cupcake and a Peanutbutter cupcake. Being the sucker I am, I caved in and ordered both (Eating for two? Hell yes!) How can you say no to something that has a drop of jelly on top? I used the mini-cupcakes to decorate my homemade 3-tier cupcake tower and it was adorable, as a baby shower should be. I uploaded pictures on here to prove it! And to "put the icing on the cake" they happened to be DELICIOUS as well: not overly sweet, icing nice and soft, and cake very moist. I love it when my cupcakes taste exactly like what they're named after. I love this cupcake shop, much more than Crave's, and don't think I'll be able to wait for another occasion to indulge in their goodies again. Can you say, "Happy Unbirthday Cupcake" ? read more

I love cupcakes... like really love cupcakes. When it comes to dessert, I like cake over any other type of consistency (mousse, candy bar, flan, milkshake, etc...). Little mini cakes covered in frosting is just my thing. I've been to many of the cupcake places around town and Sweet is just average. Located in CityCentre next to Red Mango, Sweet is actually quite easy to miss. When you walk in, you are met by really high ceilings and a pretty bare interior. The high ceilings and big windows make it a difficult place to keep cool. I went in today (a hot July afternoon) and it was a little too warm inside the cupcakery. They need to find a better way to keep the place cool. There was a long line and as I looked at the uploaded photos for this place, I see the line is no rarity. A line would be fine if they moved a little more quickly and efficiently at the counter. I ended up ordering 4 cupcakes (2 s'mores, 1 red velvet, and 1 tiramisu) at $3 each. I also ordered a single brownie bite but I have no idea how much it cost because they never told me and it wasn't listed on the chalk board menu. The brownie bite was too mushy, I bet from the heat in the cafe. The cupcakes were varied. The red velvet was just so-so with too much frosting and I like frosting. The tiramisu didn't taste much like tiramisu, and I didn't really like it but my husband thought it was ok. I really enjoyed the s'mores cupcake but my husband prefers the one from MMM Cupcake truck. Overall, the cupcakes were just ok. If I was around this area, I'd get another s'mores but that's it. I wish they had let me know what cupcakes needed to be refrigerated, because some of them had cold frosting and some didn't. Also, when they put them in the box and put the lid on them, they smashed the tops of two of them. Good thing I wasn't bringing them to anyone as a present. The box should fit the cupcakes. read more
