Came for dessert after dinner in the area. I like the down-to-earth vibes in the restaurant, where people hang out and enjoy their desserts. I got the aloe jelly with mango and coconut drink. Mangos aren't in season but this drink was pretty good, tangy, sweet, and coconutty. The aloe jelly was pretty good, I didn't know what to expect but it was a nice smooth and soft texture to the rest of the fruity drink. Would love to come back and try other items on the menu. Note that there's a 4% surcharge if you use a credit card. read more

Sweet Indulgence - Aloe Jelly with Mango and Coconut - Desserts Near Me - Millbrae, California

Looking for authentic Hong Kong-style desserts, this spot was a major disappointment. We started with the fried tofu, it was served in a tiny basket (I uploaded a photo with my finger for a size comparison), it was honestly the smallest portion I have ever seen. We also ordered the ginger tofu-fah (tofu pudding with ginger syrup), and it was easily the worst tofu-fah I've ever had. As you can see from my photos, the texture was rough and completely lacked of the signature smooth pudding texture. The appearance was unappetizing. The sweet almond soup and the rice dumplings in osmanthus soup were just average. To make matters worse, the service was very limited, and they didn't even serve water to the table. I won't be returning. read more

Have not been back to this spot for awhile, today we are bringing our friends visiting from HongKong and they enjoyed the desserts. They chose Mango Mochi Gelato, Sago with Taro and Coconut, Black Sticky Rice with Taro and Coconut, and I chose the White Fungus with Almond Soup. For dine in, you order from scanning the QR code on the table. It was a bit weird that they did not take our orders at the cashier even though the sign said so. It was a bit confusing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lucky we got there slightly early, past 8:30pm, this place is packed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are some tables with round chairs for medium to large groups, or you seat facing the window like a bar table for 3 in a group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our friends are very happy with the Mango Mochi Gelato. One lady found the Black Sticky Rice soup too sweet. I like my almond soup, although the white fungus could be softer, but the amount of white fungus was ok, so I'm glad it's not just watery soup. Service was very limited. There's no water offered, and the staff only delivered the desserts. You need to grab the key near the cashier to go to the restroom. I walked over to the front to ask for extra spoons for sharing. I like their menu has savory snacks, bento items besides desserts. They have a gelato fridge at the front with about 6-8 choices. I wish the service is warmer, but I guess they offer unique food at a good place that wins the market easily. read more

I came into this place because I wanted a quick snack. I ordered the Basil chicken and a fresh watermelon juice. The chicken was on the salty side. The portion size was on the smaller side.

My boyfriend has brought me here for dates on several occasions, and it's quickly become a place we both genuinely enjoy going to for a comforting sweet treat. This cozy spot specializes in traditional Asian desserts, offering a fantastic array of options that are perfect for a chilly evening or just a quiet moment together. While everything on the menu looks tempting, my absolute favorites are their red bean soup and sesame soup, both served with delightful tangyuan (glutinous rice balls). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal place for a casual date night where you can unwind and enjoy good conversation over warm desserts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is typically friendly and efficient, adding to the pleasant experience. If you're in the Millbrae/San Bruno area and looking for authentic and delicious Asian dessert soups, especially with tangyuan, Sweet Indulgence is a great choice. read more

Why is this crappy of a portion almost $10? I always come here and this has never happened before.. I come home to this? What a waste of my money, the lady with the short hair has horrible attitude as well. I guess it's a cute store but never again. This place is overpriced AF. Not to mention mango was not sweet at all, took only a few bites and it was gone. read more

Sweet Indulgence - Pissed... I ordered this Mango Panacotta and what is this portion?! For almost $10 dollars you give me a couple mango chunks and juice? - Desserts Near Me - Millbrae, California

Average egg waffle (eggette), got the sesame flavor. I've had better and I've had worse, at least it wasn't doughy. I like genki in sf best. Not factored into the 3 stars for the waffle (but didn't help) - it took awhile to get my waffle. Like 25 min and the place was empty when I got there. And then one other person was there before I left. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And admittedly kind of off topic - I used their bathroom and they do that thing where you have to use a key. The rope/string that the key was on was pretty gross.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Are there really that many people wandering in to try to use their restroom? I would've preferred a keypad. read more

I've been coming to sweet indulgence for over 10 years now. It's a great place especially if you come with friends or a group of people who all want something different since their menu is quite extensive. They have alushies, drinks, ice cream, crepes, savory snacks, light entrees and more! My favorites are the Basil Chicken, Jelly with Mango/Watermelon, and Sweet Purple Potato Gelato. The only cons I would say is the prices have steadily increased while the portions have gotten smaller and smaller. Their basil chicken is my favorite but they give you like maybe 6 pieces or so. At places like Quickly's and TA Tea, they give you 3x the portion in comparison. Other than that, I would still swing by every now and then, though mainly with friends. read more

I used to come here all the time with my friends for dessert after dinner, and I recently came back after not coming here since the pandemic. I feel like there are way more savory foods now! Since I already ate dinner, I only got dessert. I had the crème brûlée mochi toast, and this was absolutely delicious!! I subbed the vanilla ice cream for vanilla gelato, and I thought it was worth it. The mochi gave the toast a really delightful texture, and the toasted marshmallows and crème brûlée topping really pushed it over the edge. This will most likely be my go-to dessert! The reasons why I docked it a star are because the service was pretty slow, and a table that ordered after us got their desserts first. read more

298 Broadway Millbrae, CA 94030 "Sweet Indulgence" is a dessert place with an overwhelming menu. The only reason why I went in this place was because the Yelp listing says "ice cream and frozen yogurt." So I have been here twice now, and both times I enjoyed the gelato. The first time, I had a scoop of chocolate and scoop of coffee gelato. The second visit was on Christmas eve, I got three scoops- chocolate, coffee, and mango. The gelato is very good and has a smooth texture. Plenty of inside seating, and a restroom is available with a key. read more

So sad, my family and I have been coming to Sweet Indulgence for over 15+ years and it never fails, the owner lady with the short hair (and sometimes glasses) is ALWAYS so rude!! Full of attitude and just not pleasant to her customers. Case in point, we brought some friends and their kids here last night after dinner for their first time and they were SO turned off by how unpleasant she was. She looks miserable being there and just how she talks to people is not nice. I had to salvage the situation and reassure them that the other owner lady usually making the desserts and is in the back is waaaay nicer. She's always so soft spoken and cares a lot about her customers. I forget her name but when I use to frequent Sweet Indulgence more, she actually remembered my drink order and favorite dessert. That's when you know she cares! The workers here are generally pretty nice and helpful too which is another saving grace. I'm glad to see them still in business after all these years since they are one of the only Asian sit down dessert spots in the area that opens til 10pm but sadly, it's never a pleasant experience when I encounter the rude owner. What a shame! Food wise and desserts have been consistently these years and they have incorporated many cute desserts and different flavor gelato. Their in-store menu prices vs. their online menu prices with the QR code are slightly different. I think the online prices already tacks on a credit card surcharge. If you order from the counter and use a credit card as well, you will see a credit card surcharge on your receipt. I'm not sure if it is clearly stated somewhere on the counter that they impose a surcharge but just a heads up. All and all, don't mind the attitude if you are looking for a place that stays open late BUT if you are looking for dessert options earlier in the day, there are others in the area more worth going to with nicer service. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's our go-to place for Hong Kong style desserts and has the cutest decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It may not be as high-end as other similar places in the SF Bay Area, but it's a charming and delightful place with a great selection of food and desserts! Bonus that it stays open late too. I can't imagine Millbrae without Sweet Indulgence. read more

We've been coming here for over 15 years and still love what Sweet Indulgence offers -- authentic Hong Kong-style snacks, desserts, and drinks. My go-tos are the mango desserts (like the tofu fa or panna cotta with mango) and the matcha soymilk slush with tofu gelato. With so many new boba spots popping up on the same street, it's easy to overlook this gem, but the desserts here have always been consistently delicious. What they serve reminds me of the treats I grew up with back home in Hong Kong -- and honestly, there aren't many places like this left in the Bay Area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We just came by again with our toddler, and I'm reminding myself to stop by more often to support them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They truly deserve to thrive, even with all the new competition. read more

ALL AROUND BAD EXPERIENCE. BAD FOOD, HORRIBLE UNWELCOMING ATMOSPHERE (the word "service" is non existent here). Seriously don't bother. Very very disappointing and a horrible experience. BOY, this place have gone DOWNHILL. What used to be a great tasting and welcoming, friendly place somehow turned one of the owners into a miserable, mean, nasty woman who yells and sprays cleaning agents to customers. We arrived at around 8:45p and the place was quite full - so we tried to place seats around the tables near the entrance so that the 6 of us would fit. In no time, the owner lady with the short hair (and sometimes glasses) aka MISERABLE stormed out to tell us that "YOU CANNOT PLACE CHAIRS HERE BECAUSE IT BLOCKS THE DOOR" "YOU cannot stand here cause it blocks the order lane" "You can sit here, you guys split up or you wait" Whoa!!! Ok lady!!! No yelling needed... we simply didn't know !! Then we waited for about 15 mins and found a table and sat around it. Within 10 seconds, the at same miserable lady stormed out with a rag and spray in hand tried to clean the table. Yes I guess my friend was somewhat in the way... just then, MISERABLE yelled "I NEED TO CLEAN THE TABLE" and proceeded to spray the cleaning agent all over the table and our face and shirts. WTF!!! To top it off - their desserts are now TERRIBLE!!! Seriously what happened to this place? The walnut soup tasted like straight from a packet mixed with hot water. The papaya, snow ear soup was a bowl of tasteless $8 water. read more

The sheer number of options here can be overwhelming, as they serve a plethora of traditional Chinese desserts from hot soups to cakes and drinks and other pastries. Tables are spaced on each side of the building and one can order from the QR codes on the table. There is a restroom in the back of the store that one can go to after requesting for the bathroom key! Given the small space, it can be a little crowded and chaotic. read more

Visited the cafe with my friend as we were craving something sweet. The menu choices are very large and the dessert themselves that we could see on display looked extremely appetizing. We got a tulip dessert and another one that was of white color and round shaped with a Honey and mango drink, which all tasted great! The tulip dessert was not too sweet, more coffee-taste like. The tastes of the desserts were unique and both were very soft. The service was very fast and the cafe is a very lovely place, I saw people working on laptops there so that's allowed as well. read more

My teenager is obsessed with the dragonfruit gelato. She says nothing else compares. I can't really comment on anything else but she goes about once a week to get her fix.

The owners are nice if you get to know them.There food was so good.My daughter always want to go there on weekends.

The place wasn't busy (prob bc we were early) but got packed with a wait after a while. So many options!! Their menu was so extensive that I had to go over it like three time to decide what I wanted. Some desserts were very aesthetic and cute! Ended up going for items that seemed popular: Macau pudding, tiramisu Mille crepe and matcha parfait. Macau pudding- didn't know what I expected since I've never had Macau pudding. The crumbly texture was interesting but not bad (altho it was a little hard to cut). The biscuit crust was not sweet and it balanced the mango taste well. I learned that it's a popular Portuguese dessert! Tiramisu Mille crepe- I love me anything tiramisu so I knew it was gonna be good! The crepe layers were soft but firm at the same time. Perf amount of sweetness and filling on each layer. Nicely decorated but downside was that we almost choked from inhaling the powder while taking a bite but we made it :) Matcha mochi parfait- that cup goes deep and I like how it came with a long spoon so you can get all the toppings with each bite. Strong matcha flavor and the mochi bits added a chewy texture. Overall, solid spot for asian desserts with a fair price point and tons of options! read more

Thought I should give this place another try since it was awhile ago when I first tried them. A solid 2.5 star but would round up here. Ordered their slices of tiramisu and matcha crepes cakes ($8.95 each). Not sure if they were freshly made in house or store bought, the matcha one was light and fluffy filled with fresh cream whereas the tiramisu one was dry and flaky. It didn't taste fresh. I also ordered their "Bubble" mango mousse yuzu cake ($8 i think). The cake was a tad dry but the Panna cotta filling with a small junk bite size mango really elevated this dessert. read more

Located on a street corner in the downtown area of Millbrae, Sweet Indulgence offers a large variety of different sweets and desserts. The place inside is quite clean and has a very casual vibe to it. The place is quite spacious and there are some tables to sit down and enjoy any desserts. I really like their little miniature displays by the window featuring animated characters and other miniatures. On my latest visit, I got a black sesame frozen dessert drink which came with grass jelly and tofu ice cream on top. It takes them a while to make but they do a really good job blending everything together and ensuring that the black sesame taste is balanced throughout. The ice cream was a solid touch on top and the grass jelly was silkier than most. It was pretty good overall and I enjoyed it quite a bit. read more

It's been a looooong time since I've visited this city much less dine at any of the abundance of restaurants and shops here. A lot of the old standards that I remember are long gone... Seafood Harbor, Fook Yuen, etc. So when my friend's daughter chose this corner store as our post dinner stop, I wasn't sure what to expect. Walking in, the space reminds me of a soda fountain. The decor is very playful, reminding me of a place I'd like to hang out as a kid. We walked up to the order pad and studied their menu. With a pretty overwhelming menu selection, we decided to walk up to the in-person counter to place our order. I tried the Macau pudding, mango flavor (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bibF3GW4xdiSu854ximImg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); it definitely was not what I expected. The cool thing is that I enjoyed this pastry which felt more like a layer cake for me. I liked that the layers of creme were not rich yet still cold, a cross between a crepe cake and ice cream cake. The flavors balanced very well between the fruit filling and the pastry itself. One friend had a couple of scoops of ice cream in a cup while my friend and his daughter shared one of their signature iced desserts. I'll need to save more room after dinner for that next time. The dining area had only one or two other dining parties when we arrived but filled up as we finished our desserts. Being around 7 pm, I guess other nearby diners chose this for their post meal destination. They have an abbreviated food menu (appetizers, sandwiches, and noodles) too in case you seek a light meal. Given the menu size, I certainly won't mind coming back read more

We came here for a late night snack. There was only one other group there so there was plenty of areas to sit at. We ordered a ham & egg sandwich, steamed ginger and milk, sesame tong yuan with taro & sago and fried octopus. The food came out pretty quickly considering the streamed milk takes at least 15 min to make. It looked like they had alot of doordash / uber eats orders. The octopus was a really small portion for the price, about 4 or 5 pieces , I probably wouldn't order it again. The sandwich was also pretty small but very tasty. The steamed milk was perfect, really light and great ginger flavor. The sesame tong yuan was delicious !!! Great place to come for HK cafe style food. read more

Pros: - friendly service - quick with order - good location - honey and ginger tea was really good! Sweet flavor. Cons: - not a lot of dessert options - the Macau pudding was not what i thought it would be. It looks soft and you would think it's soft because of "pudding" but it was quite frozen and hard to scoop with a spoon. It tasted like chocolate pudding with peanut butter kinda? Pretty filling. I wasn't able to finish it. - hard to read menu read more

This is located on the corner of Broadway and La Cruz Ave - there's street parking and a free public parking lot few shops down. The last time I came here was about 5 years ago and it's nice to see this place is still in business through the pandemic. For 4, we got: - 2x sago & taro w/ coconut milk: 4/5 - not too bad, basically a hot version of the taro coconut sesame jelly drink but in my opinion the cold version is better. - tofu pudding: 3/5 - not as smooth as I would like. If you like something more plain and not too flavorful, you might like this. - taro coconut sesame jelly: 5/5 - there were large chunks of taro on the top which I didn't care for, but the taro and coconut plus the sesame jelly worked really well together and surprisingly really tasty. This is on the sweeter side so if you have a sweet tooth and like this combo, this drink is for you! From my visits, you place the order at the front and once it's ready, one of the workers will deliver your dessert to your table. When done, you can just leave it at the table and the workers will pick up your items. read more
