SweetVibe has a really cute cake box counter to browse and the desserts are attractive and well crafted too. There's two kiosks for self order next to a wall of curated local art and the staff is also attentive. My melon jasmine cake (6.99) was forward in tea-like aroma and fragrant from the first bite of cream. The cake is very soft and light. Highly recommend this one if you like special flavors :) My friends cake with pork sung was similarly delicate too, and is for those who like to mix salty/sweet. IT IS NOT TOO SWEET!!! Perfectly less-sugary for those with a light palate. The tea is tasty as well - peach oolong milk tea with peach jelly and winter melon jelly had that smooth, fragrant and well-balanced blend of creamy and light. Very satisfied with the flavor and consistency. This minimal and approachable cafe does have wifi and there is one slimmer table that offers an outlet. My friend group sat comfortably at a larger wooden table. Everything about SweetVibe has been pleasant and it feels like I'll come here again for sure. You won't be disappointed if you like these kinds of cakes and tiramisu. read more

This is such a cute little shop! It's tucked away behind the taco shop next to Wendys, so you have to really look for it. The store itself is small but nice and clean and bright. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We came here after dinner and saw that they had art for sale as well! Gorgeous art by a local Chinese artist. I actually ended up grabbing a lovely print. We also ordered a pistachio cream cake and a sea salted Oreo cake. The pistachio was a little light flavored for me but soooo well made and delicious. The salted Oreo one was AMAZING. The frosting/cream was so rich and flavorful and the cake was so moist and delicate. And for 9 dollars, WELL worth the price. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem! I had this place bookmarked since they opened because of their boxed cakes, but I wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype. Some noted them to be dry, and others noted that the flavors could be stronger. I am happy to report that ours were neither dry nor lacked in flavor! We ended up trying their seasonal peach oolong cake and taro cake. The cake layers in each were super soft, the cream layers were super smooth, and the flavors matched their designated descriptions. If you're looking for something different, go with the peach oolong - tastes just like the tea, which makes me think they steep the tea im cream before whipping it up. If you're in the mood for a more trendy flavor, go with the taro - it's light and present without being overpowering. Prices were reasonable in my opinion, especially since they come in clear plastic containers - $6.99 for the peach oolong and $8.99 for the taro. The only thing I wish was that each cake had another type of layer. Peach oolong could have had some pieces of fresh white peach, and taro would have been nice with a layer of taro paste. As for service, it was average. The girl helping us was sweet but also did not know what their cake products tasted like. I was wondering which ones she preferred, if this one was better than that one, and she admitted she never tasted the products. As a customer, I would have appreciated if she did. That's just a small thing, and overall, I would come back! If you're looking for individual size cakes, I'd recommend this place over Paris Baguette. Anyways, can't wait to try their melong Jasmine cake and other dessert offerings. read more

I've been in mourning since my fruit tea spot of choice, CHAKAA, closed down a mile or so away. On the hunt for an alternative, I found my way to Sweet Vibe: an unassuming boba shop behind El Gordo Mexican food driving down convoy. I pulled in, parked in the small lot, and found my way into a late-night, brightly lit shop with more variety of boba drinks than I'm used to. Score! WHAT TO GET Fruit tea, yogurt drinks, fruit slush, fresh milk / milk tea, regular tea plus coffee... and all the regular toppings including 4 different types of boba, jellies, foam and even dessert toppings from flan and Oreo to panna cotta?? This is a boba varietal dream!! I love their yogurt drinks: there's a tanginess to these that the regular milk teas do not have. It's refreshing, savory sweet, and filling. Most days though, since I am dairy free, I get... my fruit slush boba! Finally, a replacement for my old shop. The fruit tea is slightly tangy, but balanced with a sweet tapioca ball. I also love that this is just a slush, no tea added, since I don't want caffeine at night. Have an even greater sweet tooth? They've got a bunch of refrigerated desserts -- different flavored small cakes and tiramisus. BOBA QUALITY - 10/10 My rating for boba shops always comes down to two things: freshness of the tea and quality of the boba. A good brown sugar boba, to me, is sweet but not artificially so; has a nice chew without being too hard. I've only found 3 perfect bobas in San Diego: Camellia, Alfred, and Sweet Vibe. Yay! SERVICE Two large kiosks to the left of the service counter welcome you to come pick your pleasure, and pay right there. If you have questions there are always 1-2 people you can ask behind the counter. When you feel like breezing through service, the iPads are pretty nice. INTERIOR Ample seating, with three group tables, a countertop in the corner with about 4 high seats, plus 2 more chairs in the corner to wait in. They also have a bathroom! There are two PlushStation claw machines as well if you feel like playing your hand at a game I never seem to be good at PARKING this may be the only negative here: a small lot of about 10 spots with the other row reserved for the Mexican shop tends to fill up. At night, around 7 pm on, the lot can get pretty full. We've never had a problem finding a spot for about 15 minutes to grab a drink and go, though! Thank you sweet vibe for meeting my high standards for boba read more

Decent tea joint. Located in Convoy, with reasonable parking available. Cute decor and seating inside. Grape lemon fruit tea: 4/5 - interesting flavor, grape fruit pieces & lemon slices in the drink. Despite ordering as less sugar, it was still pretty sweet. Tasted better after the ice melted. Peach oolong tea: 3.5/5 - love the soft jelly & peach pieces. However, the oolong tea was bitter (either steeped too long, or with too hot of water when they made the tea). I would've ordered regular sweetness if I knew the tea was going to be so bitter, but alas, would not know ahead of time. Their other fruit tea flavors sound yummy, so I'm down to come again to try more flavors! read more

Sweet Vibe is a cute Taiwanese/Chinese dessert shop that's also open late, therefore perfect as a place to hang out with friends after dinner. **Food/Drink Review** Pistachio Cream Cake (3.5/5): Wished the cream was satisfying but resembled high fat cake cream that holds its shape but isn't as tasty. Pistachio flavor could have been stronger too. Uji Matcha Foam with Strawberry Fresh Milk and Floating Duck (3/5): It was more akin to matcha latte with strawberry jam and fruit on the bottom. If it was actually concocted as Korean/Japanese style strawberry milk with matcha foam, it would have been better. I see this shop as more of a late night option for a gathering place. It isn't going to serve top-of-the-line boba or desserts, but they are nice enough to have while catching up with people. Would visit again for that purpose. read more

Parking can be a little tight in this small strip mall but if you can find a spot you're in for a little sweet treat! The inside does have seating but it was packed on a Sunday afternoon (very good sign). They have a screen where you can self order or order at the counter. I got the mango pomelo drink and the black sesame coconut dessert. The coconut one wasn't my favorite, but I did love the mango pomelo drink. The mango tasted fresh and it was the perfect drink for a hot day. Note- I ordered less sweet and it still was pretty sweet. I think full sweetness on this drink would be a little much but your taste buds may vary! read more

Stopped by after dinner. Had the Jasmine Rose Milk Tea and the Oolong Peach Cake. The milk tea was good but a bit on the sweeter side. I think there was other flavors to it since I want to say it had a cheese foam top. A bit overpowering I would say. The cake was moist. I could definitely taste the peach and oolong flavors. I just think that their flavors are a little bit overpowering. I do plan on going back to try some of their other drinks and cakes. read more

Honestly, there's not much to say about this dessert shop. We were looking for a dessert place after dinner at Pelicana Chicken in San Diego, and we found Sweet Vibe as the closest option nearby. The dessert shop was nearly empty and about to close when we got there. This was a small but clean and well-organized dessert and bubble tea shop. The owner seemed a very nice person. He politely asked about our preferences. We ordered a Thai Milk Tea Cake. The cake tasted like a typical Thai Milk Tea Cake and nothing particularly exceptional to say about it. The price was a bit on the high side. read more

I think the service is great and the inside is cute, but the drinks were honestly not that great. I believe we ordered a thai tea and matcha latte, and I would not recommend those. Not very flavorful and a bit watered-down. We also got the mooncakes during autumn festival, and they came frozen? But when they were defrosted they were tasty. However, it's a very nice interior, the drinks are aesthetic, and the worker was super friendly. read more

The highlights are unique flavors that taste fresh and different from other Boba shops also really good service and spacious workspace Now for the cons which feel variable based on location, I will say that this parking lot is not very large and it was a bit hard to find sweet vibe They also sell pastries and it is all a bit higher priced than your usual Boba spot but I'm starting to see Boba places charge about 7 or 8 dollars for their drinks Presentation was great and again flavor was not too strong on the taro paste that I got it wasn't as liquid as I thought it would be and it wasn't as strong when I got 50% sugar in 50% ice so overall it was a great taste just surprised the size of the medium was smaller than I thought. read more

I was toggling between a 4 and a 5 star but after calling to leave a message to the owner that I needed a valid receipt (not the text one that didn't show itemization), he responded quickly and provided all the receipts so there was no question - he went above and beyond. And that's 5 stars right there! The drinks were a solid 5 stars. Boba is fresh. The ice is the amount needed for a cold drink. Flavors were there. Straws and plasticware provided are quality. There's nothing more infuriating than straws and plasticware that snap. The only reason I wanted to possibly give this place a 4 star were for their pastries/cakes. They look presentable but lacked in quality. Both matcha cloud and the muddy French bull dog chocolate mousse tasted watered down. Otherwise, very glad I came here. Clean space, and exceptional customer service. read more

First time at Sweet vibe they're located in San Diego California. My family and I were craving something sweet after dinner and found sweet vibe having such great reviews five stars with many reviews so we decided to try it. We ordered five drinks, total different kinds of drinks which we all enjoyed. We also tried their bear tiramisu, but was a little bit disappointed. The taste was not the tiramisu taste that we are used to. It was lacking a lot of of the coffee flavor and it was dry. My daughter even tried putting coffee to make it edible for us, but we ended up just throwing it away and it wasn't a cheap dessert that was an expensive treat just to throw away so that was very disappointing. The atmosphere was cute. The restaurant was was cute and modern. They had a lot of decor on the walls and and everywhere else which kept us entertained while we were waiting for our food. service was friendly. I would give this place a solid 3 1/2 for the drinks but for the dessert we tried more like two 2 1/2. parking is available in the plaza which is great. read more

Food: Bearamisu (bear tiramisu) - super cute! i love the bear design on the tiramisu. presentation is cute but the taste of it was okay. it was decent but didn't have much of a powerful coffee taste to it. it was more of the cream and tasted close to an average cake. still good though. Service: really straightforward and nice Ambiance: Not super busy and has a couple tables. There's outlets and wifi. It's a cute store inside. read more

There's lots of seating and parking available, the location is just a little bit hidden. You can order on the kiosk which saves time waiting for the drinks. Since I came late it was a bit slower, but it's normal for this hour. I got the green thai milk tea and it was delicious! It was a good balance of tea and milk and not too sweet. Their desserts and cakes are adorable and picture worthy. Overall a nice place and i will be back to try their other drinks! read more

We were in the area and decided to check out a new boba shop. Location is tucked away, not easily seen from the street. The inside decor is pretty cute. (some tables inside, a skill crane, a window of very adorable and delicate homemade desserts) Staff was attentive, they were sort of standing around, waiting for us to finish our selections on the kiosks. Things we purchased: 1. Grape Lemon Green Tea- mochi and jellies My niece said this was only ok, nothing was bad, but nothing stood out. 3/5 2. Passionfruit jasmine tea with passion fruit jellies- My sister could not tell that the jellies were passionfruit or standard jellies that most places carry. She did note the tea was very delicious. 4/5 3. Mango Yogurt with Crystal Boba- This was very tasty despite I did get an upset stomach later on but I lean towards lactose intolerant. (usually only happens with lots of real milk) I was surprised that this was so small. 4/5 4. The sleeping bear- white chocolate flavor- This is the viral dessert that you will see all over the place. We thought this was ok, it was more grainy than smooth. This was extremely expensive for such a small dessert. 1/5 They did have a pretty large menu with other items I'd like to try. Service:5/5 Ambiance:4/5 Food: 3/5 read more

|Cake Review Only| Sweet Vibe has a variety of different cake-based desserts that we wanted to stop by for. We opted for the Thai Tea Cake and the Taromisu. The thai tea flavor was very prominent and really good. I really enjoyed the soft fluffy cake texture and for the price and serving size, I thought it was a nice little treat. The Taromisu is a bit more creamy and denser but still light overall. I really liked the thicker texture and the added creaminess. The taro flavor wasn't as pronounced but overall these cakes were very delicious and something I would definitely stop by for again! read more

Really wanted to try this place since my friends have been talking about / seeing it on social media. Super cute ambiance and cozy place, the parking structure is very limited but when I visited, I was able to find a spot just fine. Customer service was great, very friendly staff. I tried their puppy dessert and it was not that great at all.. for the aesthetic and how well it looked / was made, its def insta worthy post but the flavor / taste, was not great at all and you're really just paying for the looks of that dessert. The dessert just tasted so chalky and dry, it was not that great and was a disappointment for me.. For some reason I was anticipating a nice yummy chocolate taste that would be smooth and creamy, I got the opposite though. read more

We wanted to try somewhere new and this place replaced an old boba shop. The parking is kind of limited but thats normal for many places on Convoy street. The interior is extremely cute and aesthetic. They have decor all over, a good amount of seating, and a claw machine. The workers were nice but mostly just stayed in the back unless you ordered something. I like the dessert options they have here, they're very cute and in cute containers. We got the sea salt oreo cake, uji matcha foam mango fresh tea with boba, and uji matcha foam jasmine milk tea with boba. I got my drink 25% sweetness and I liked that it was not too sweet but the boba added the sweetness. The matcha foam is airy and light. I liked the cake. It was a little dry but it's like half cream so it was fine. I liked how it was sweet and actually a little salty. read more

The price point is lower than most boba shops and uses real ingredients for their syrups and purées!

Their desserts and drinks have really nice presentation and are not sweet. I ordered the strawberry matcha and hubby got the brown sugar with fresh milk and boba. The drinks are made to order and can take a while though. The succulent chocolate cake was so creative and delicious! The Earl Grey basque was great too. I added a duck topping to my drink and made it even cuter LOL. They also have desserts that are shaped like a puppy, etc. read more

This review is only for the desserts - taromisu, soy cream box cake, and earl grey basque cheesecake. The line moved fairly quickly to the ordering kiosk but it took quite a while to get the desserts. All they had to do was grab them from the vase, so I'd recommend they consider a way to separate drink orders from dessert-only ones to make things more efficient. The taromisu and soy cream cakes were the most popular with the family. They are more cream than cake so although they weren't too sweet, it felt a bit heavy after a couple bites. The earl grey was too subtle in the cheesecake and the double layer didn't make sense to me. The lotus cookie on top was also soggy and felt out of place. If they dial up the tea flavor I think it would contrast better with the double cream layer. IMO this tasted closer to a cheesecake than basque cheesecake. Overall, they are on the pricier side considering the size, but the creaminess didn't allow for more than a couple bites. I think these are shareable and would make good gifts as well. read more

Very classic boba spot but I've never seen the ocean coconut drink anywhere so that stood out to me. They also offer many desserts I haven't seen anywhere else.

Ordered the uji matcha with jasmine milk tea foam and a taro milk tea with taro foam. Both were the right kind of "Asian sweet" without having to reduce the sugar level.

Dessert and boba shop, tucked away in a little corner. Parking sucks in this lot so most likely will need to find street parking nearby. Drinks were okay - the fruit teas were good but the jasmine milk tea not so much. The tea flavor was very faint and not distinctly jasmine either. The boba texture was great though! Desserts were a hit or miss as well. The Oreo tiramisu was tasty, although $10 feels a little steep for the small container portion. I've had tiramisu at nice restaurants for cheaper and much better quality. The taiyaki was extremely disappointing, especially the Oreo one - it was really dry and the batter didn't taste like much. The Nutella was much better because the Nutella had a strong flavor and the liquid nature of the sauce made the entire thing less dry. Place was clean and service was friendly, but it probably won't be my first choice to be back. read more

This is the second time and the desserts are excellent. I came here today to try the Mango Pomelo Slush it had a sweet and sour kind of taste. The only complaint I have is it had a crystal boba that I wasn't a fan of. The crystal boba has no flavor it just wasn't my thing I think the next time I would get coconut or Lychee jelly instead. Also tried to mint oolong milk tea. It has foam and chocolate which was a nice surprised. Tasted more like a mint milkshake to me which was good. This is a good environment for hanging out with friends and meet ups. It's also close to everything. read more
