    Cute small spot for a quick coffee and bite. Nice staff. Slightly quiet ambience. Variety of drink options.

    Cute little house

    While in Houston we were looking for a good coffee place. I don't to Starbucks unless I am in a bind. My husband came across this cute little place around the area of our hotel in Pasadena. It's situated in a neighborhood and it looks like a regular house . It has plenty of parking and nice little tables to sit outside and plenty of seating inside. My husband ordered a vanilla latte and I went with what the barista suggested, it was a brown sugar drink and it was delicious!!!! Just what I needed. They also have lots of delicious pastries we ordered the coffee cake and it was so good. It was such a great little gem to find. If I am ever in that area I hope o can visit it again.

    Grabbed a breakfast sandwich and taco. Both were a bit soggy and needed hot sauce for flavor. Reasonably priced, great service, and room for seating with a few people studying.

    We love this little coffee shop! It's a fun change from the other more fast paced places. Every pastry we have tried has been delicious but the lemon poppyseed is a must. The drinks are always made with care and amazing. They do have a drive through but we always like to go inside for a bit. They offer outdoor seating which is perfect for a beautiful sunny day. Definitely get there early because their parking is limited and it always fills up quickly! The coffee and muffin were both mother-in-law approved so you know it's good! I'm taking my sticky note for the goal board next time!

    Great coffee house! Loved the iced vanilla latte, tasty breakfast burrito, and the coffee flight is a must-try--plus amazing service, 10/10!

    We were really impressed by this coffee shop. My lavender honey latte was delicious! The tacos were tasty and the pastries were fresh and made with care. It is definitely worth the drive if you live outside of Pasadena.

    Dropped by after enjoying brunch at Pine Street Cafe at Silver Sycamore because I wanted the full experience. LOVED this little cozy coffee shop and I'm jealous of the residents that live right across the street because how cool is that? You can walk over any time and enjoy the space, the hot coffee and walk right back over. The life. I order the Cinnamon Almond Delight hot and it was perfect for me. I don't like my coffee too sweet and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. Too good! My man ordered the special drink they were promoting: the Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Oatmilk Latte iced and he loved it as well. He enjoys his coffee sweeter so he requested 2 extra pumps of the good stuff to have it to his liking. The shop itself was packed, people with their laptops enjoying their hot brew. Typical coffee shop things, but the part that stood out the most was the sticky note wall designated for customers dreams and goals they'd like to achieve. What a great idea to bring the community together, loved that. Look forward to trying more items on the menu and maybe enjoying one of the books they have stacked on the fireplace. Must visit this neighborhood gem!

    Super cute little coffee shop but the customer service and coffee/flavor quality are lacking. I splurged on a coffee flight, latte and a pastry. Density of the donut was yuck. It'd been different if it was a "protein" or "Keto" one-then I'd understand to expect that. The staff wasn't very knowledgeable. I watched them both mess up orders (but w/e we are all human). They were t very personable. Kinda clueless rather and not the barista service I'd expect. I showed them several pictures of items from yelp and neither could make them. Kinda disappointed, and even though they're the same owner, if I was in this area again, I'd just go across the street.

    Great little place with good coffee. They offer coffee in mugs which is a plus for me. It is small with a couple of tables inside but there is also an outside seating area if the weather nice. Service was good and they were friendly. Not really loungy but good place to set up a laptop or have a bible study.

    Coffee!

    Great vibes, great coffee, and great food! This is a cute little spot to bring a computer or have a coffee chat! There are not too many table if it is busy though. The coffee tastes great! I love the roaster that they use, Amaya Coffee. They even have a few house blends! I wish they had more wall plugs, but other than that- the perfect spot!

    Staff is friendly but unfortunately the coffee isn't up to par. Also, not enough pastries to select from and they don't taste fresh.

    Are dairy free options available?

    Yes they coconut milk, almond milk, and oatmilk but they are just over a dollar if you substitute.

I picked the Italian Cream, and OH MY GOOOODDDDDNESSS, this might have been one of the best cupcakes I have every had (and I have had way too many cupcakes in my lifetime). But, I was surprised to see they have more than these sweet treats. That should have been obvious because of all the savory smells when I walked in (although a little confusing in a cupcake shop). They offer chicken salad, both as a sandwich or in a small container. But there is so much more than that. They offer grab & go meals that I believe change daily; some examples that we saw on the board that day - bacon fried cabbage with sausage, creamy chicken Alfredo tortellini soup, poblano southwest pimiento cheese, Chicken and Dumplings, Homemade Chicken Spaghetti, and several other options. There are also keto options available. Tried both the original and the Harvest Chicken Salad. The Harvest mix was excellent, will get it again. But the original was meh for me, I just didn't enjoy it. So my hint is, ask if you can sample it before you buy one of the chicken salads so you can find the ones that are best for you. And, do NOT leave without a cupcake - you will thank me later.

    I'm giving Sweet G Bakery 3 stars because while my experiences over the years have become…read moreincreasingly inconsistent, I truly believe these are fixable issues if they choose to address them. The bakery is consistently beautifully decorated. The floral arrangements and thoughtfully designed backgrounds make it a lovely space and perfect for social media photos. It's inviting, charming, and clearly curated with care. Service is hit or miss. Sometimes I'm greeted warmly and helped right away. Other times the experience feels rushed and unwelcoming. Calling in orders has always been challenging. I often have to make repeated calls before someone answers, and outreach through social media is inconsistent. Since this bakery isn't close to me, it's frustrating that I have had to walk in just to place an order on a few occasions. The empanadas de canela are my favorite item and remain a highlight. At a little over $8 for a half dozen, they're delicious and a reliable option. Unfortunately, the cakes have declined in quality over the past few years. They have become noticeably drier than they used to be. The most recent cake I purchased received feedback that it tasted "almost like a dry tres leches cake," which was disappointing. Their rosca de reyes is one of the main reasons I continue to support this bakery; it is truly unique. However, ordering it is unnecessarily difficult every year. While I understand it's a busy seasonal item, after so many years I would expect a better system such as online ordering or dedicated phone support. Sadly, this year's rosca was also dry and not nearly as good as in previous years. I appreciate Sweet G as a small business and genuinely want to continue supporting them. However, rising prices combined with declining quality and inconsistent service make it harder to justify doing so. Sweet G was a 4+ star bakery not long ago. I hope they take an honest look at where improvements are needed so they can get back to that level.
