Been here a couple times and it's my favorite che place in the plaza. While Oche has better coconut milk, here has everything else better. I suggest going for something with coconut water, very light and refreshing. Their avocado smash is nice too. Not too much seating, but it is cozy. House made jellies are chewy, grass jelly is very slurpable. read more

Not bad, but not the best either. The sweets were decent and it's a nice little spot if you're already in the area and craving something sweet. One thing I really liked was that they have a lottery machine inside! Definitely an unexpected bonus and made the stop a little more fun. Overall, a decent experience. read more

I came to Sweet Corner on Story Road with a group of six on a Sunday night around 8:30 PM. It was not too crowded, so we were able to find a table easily. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, and I really liked the decorations inside. It is a comfortable place to sit, chat, and hang out with friends. Our group ordered the avocado smoothie, soursop green tea, and durian soy pudding. The durian soy pudding had that distinct durian smell, but the soy pudding made the overall flavor a little bland. The ratio might have been slightly off. Two of my friends ordered the avocado smoothie and thought it was okay, but they wished it had a stronger avocado flavor. The appetizers were the highlight for me. The popcorn chicken was definitely the best item we tried, and the curly fries were also good. We also ordered a combo with fried fish balls, lobster balls, and fried tofu. It was decent, but nothing really stood out. They have a large menu with several items that caught my attention, so I plan to try something different during my next visit. Overall, Sweet Corner is a nice place to relax and catch up with friends, with good snacks and plenty of drink and dessert options. read more

This sweet shop in Vietnam Town has a really unique vibe that I wasn't expecting. The decor feels very European--there's a large mural with Paris-style buildings and even the Eiffel Tower--but then you look at the menu and it's a mix of both European desserts and Asian chè-style options. It's an interesting blend that kind of works, even if it takes a second to figure out what the "theme" is supposed to be. They offer a wide range of desserts and drinks. On one side, you've got items like tartufo (chocolate, cappuccino, limoncello, pistachio), sorbets, and cheesecake slices in the display case. On the other side, they have traditional Vietnamese-style desserts like sweet soups (chè), grass jelly, black-eyed bean pudding, and combo desserts with things like cassava, jelly, and coconut. There's also a solid drink menu with milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and specialty coffees. I ordered the latte with matcha foam, and while I don't usually go for sweet drinks, this one was definitely on the sweeter side--but still really good. The matcha foam added a nice earthy balance to the coffee underneath. My friend got the three-color iced drink (the one with layered beans and jelly), and if you're into that texture and flavor profile, you'd probably enjoy it. The service stood out. The man helping us (possibly the owner) was very friendly, patient, and took the time to explain menu items, which I appreciated since some of the desserts aren't as familiar if you haven't had them before. The display case also looked well-stocked and clean, with everything neatly packaged and labeled, which made it easy to browse. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're in the area and want something a little different from the usual dessert shops. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is because the concept feels slightly all over the place, but the quality, variety, and service definitely make it worth checking out. read more

I was actually on the way to another shop nearby and got attracted by their large posters with pictures of some offered items displayed on their doors. They had ches, varieties of drink options, and desserts. The staff was quite patient and friendly as I tried to navigate the menu. Ended up with the che bo dam (mash avocado with pudding) and the suong sao, hat e, nuoc dua. The looked like ches from Bambu but didn't quite compare. The bo dam was good but the other wasn't as refreshing as I thought it would've been, as it was sort of light and bland. The restroom was clean but there was a big, newly dead cockroach on the floor. Yes, it was on it's back with legs still moving. I'm going to assume it's because they leave their doors wide open during opening hours. Hopefully nothing more serious than that behind the scene. read more

Wish I could give no star. I used to get this same drink anytime I was in the area. My daughter brought me this tonight and I was speechless. Not even close to half as the bottom half is much smaller. Understood that with ice it would fill the cup up, but less than half?? Customers shouldn't feel robbed like this. Look at the advertise drink & the actual cup that customer received. Maybe BBB should review this business. read more

THE only place in Vietnam Town that had macarons!!! Shocking, I know!!! After making multiple stops at neighboring boba spots, coffee shops, and even a few eateries, I found what I needed @ The Sweet Corner. While I would have preferred to purchase 2 or 3 at the most, this establishment only sells these sweet treats in a pack of 8. Flavors aren't listed so pick your poison and do your best to decipher with your tastebuds. 3.5 stars but I bumped up the rating to 4 since they get bonus points for ending my tedious search for macarons. Running around during a busy tet celebration was not an easy task. read more

Came here cause my friends came here cause they wanted a drink. My friends ordered passion fruit green tea and suong sao hat e nuoc dua. Both drinks pretty refreshing. If you want something sweet get the passion fruit green tea. Something more coconutty get the other drink! read more

I loved this place, the food was fresh and not frozen. They made it on the spot, the service was really nice too. I really liked the tempura shrimp because it was fresh and just freshly fried. The drinks are really good and when you order the milk tea, you can actually taste the tea flavor. The price is reasonable and affordable. This store has a lot of labubus and a paris theme. read more

This was my go to place for che in the vietnam town area. After the new owner change something tastes off. The drink is a bit too syrupy sweet even though we asked for half sugar. The place looks more simple and less cluttered now, but thr flavor of the drinks matter more to me. Will give it another try next time to see if it was just a one-off. read more

I just had one of the most delightful dessert experiences at **The Sweet Corner**! This place is an absolute hidden gem for anyone with a sweet tooth. I ordered their fresh sugarcane drink, and wow -- it was incredibly refreshing, perfectly balanced, and tasted so pure and natural. You could really tell it was made with real sugarcane; it was lightly sweet, crisp, and incredibly thirst-quenching. It paired beautifully with the desserts! Then came the star of the show: their macarons. These were easily some of the best I've ever had. The shells were perfectly crisp on the outside with that ideal chewy center, and the fillings were rich, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I tried a few different flavors and each one was a little masterpiece -- delicate, elegant, and bursting with taste. They practically melted in my mouth! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels made with so much care and passion. If you're looking for a charming spot to satisfy your cravings with high-quality sweets and refreshing drinks, **The Sweet Corner** is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back soon -- probably with friends next time so I can try even more! Highly recommend! read more

Such a cute spot! Inside is small, but cute and there is super cool chalk art on the walls. Their chai is delicious, spiced, and has the perfect sweetness. They have a lot of sweet treats to choose from for whatever you're feeling. I got the beignets which were dense and almost donut-like. Two were chocolate filled and one was custard. Everything was delicious, and the menu is huge! I'd love to come back and try something new. read more

Ordered 6 drinks total today and majority of it was matcha. Sad to say none of these drinks were good. We also had some desserts none had any sweetness even though requested. Service was ok. Unfortunately one of the desserts we requested to have remade or exchanged were still charged for. Also after buying all these drinks.. they wouldn't let us use the restroom because they didn't recognize us as customers!! read more

A Must-Visit Dessert Spot for Families! This dessert place has become our family's go-to whenever we want a fun and relaxing outing. It's perfect for both kids and parents -- the atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, with beautiful decorations that are perfect for taking selfies. There's even a fun science theme that adds a unique touch to the experience! We love the open-air setup and the overall good vibes that make it a great spot for catching up and spending quality time together. The menu is fantastic -- you can customize your drinks exactly how you like them, from sugar level to ice and toppings. Our top recommendations? The Avocado Sea Salt Cream and Chè -- both are delicious, and our kids can't get enough of them! Highly recommended for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for great desserts in a fun, photo-worthy environment. read more

I was a regular since this place first opened (so I have been coming to this place for YEARS). I used to go so often that even the employees knew me as the Thai Tea girl with 50% sweet, 50% ice. As soon as I walked in, an employee would just immediately start making my drink before I even finished paying. I have seen this place changed owners 3x now and unfortunately, this is the final draw. A few weeks ago when they recently opened with their new 3rd owner, I asked for my usual Thai Tea, 50% sweet, 50% ice. The ice was more than usual, but it was still acceptable. Today, I asked for 50% sweet, 25% ice and the cup was literally full of ice. I asked the employee why was the cup full of ice if I asked for 25% ice. They responded that the policy changed and that the ratio of thai tea and ice would remain the same? I then asked what would 100% ice look like then. The employee responded that the ice cubes would be bigger. Young man, I'm not that dumb. I lost it at that point. The Sweet Corner has been lost to enshittification. Good bye, Sweet Corner. You have lost a regular, committed customer. I wish you the best, Thai Tea girl with 50% sweet, 50% ice. read more

I swung by this place for a drink while waiting for our table at Blue Monkey, and decided to try #1 Green Grass Jelly and it hit the spot! The coconut water made it a more refreshing drink which was what I was looking for. I also really enjoyed the chai seeds, grass jelly, and pandan jelly that was in there. This place looks like it also has a lot of other good desserts, and my Vietnamese friend highly recommended their hot desserts, specifically #20 (cha bap) and #25 (che chuoi). He ended up ordering #25 and confirmed that it tasted authentic. Overall a pretty popular dessert shop that got busy after dinner times. read more

We dropped by to grab a slice of tiramisu this afternoon after lunch. The lady was having a hard time to separate the slice from the whole cake and I noticed there was a little bit missing corner at the bottom when she took out a slice. I could ask for another piece but I didn't think it was a biig deal. What really surprised me was when we got home and tried to eat the slice, we found out the part of the cake has been eaten. You can clearly see the one side of the cake was left with shape of spoon. We didnt see that side when she put the slice in the box and wrapped in the plastic bag. It's so gross and disgusting! We live far and wont be able to go back to confront with them. But I will never step my foot in a shop with this type of dishonesty. read more

Was very disappointed as this had been my go-to spot in the area for over ten years. Today was the last time I'll ever be back. Ordered milk teas for the family. Not only did they ignore the request for no ice, they filled the cup with 2/3 ice. When we asked the staff, we received a rude, "yeah" with no other explanation. Another staff member said they filled the cup with 8oz of milk tea. That's great, for a 24oz cup, checks out for 2/3rd ice. Might as well call the drink "ice with a splash of milk tea." Haven't felt so ripped off by a boba shop in a while, and would advise against coming here. They seem to have changed ownership, and the new owners apparently couldn't care less for your business. read more

This dessert/boba shop is in the "corner" of the Vietnam town plaza so you know it's good. I've been coming here with my friends for a long time and they're one of the best places to get dessert and boba. It's a great place to hang out or have a study group. They have a lot of seating inside and outside the shop. Super nice vibe and aesthetically pleasing backdrops for Instagram pics! You can take your order from the worker or a kiosk. I like the kiosk more since it's a bit quicker. It also shows you pictures of each item, which is helpful if you aren't sure of what the drinks look like. They have a huge variety of drinks and desserts. It's amazing how they can make each drink and dessert so good. It can be a bit crazy when you have so many items on the menu so the fact that each drink and dessert isn't too overwhelming or bland is incredible. They do it right! I love the Oreo cheesecake. It comes with a small Oreo on top and is so soft and delicious. It's not overwhelming with the cheese aspect. The ratio of the crust and cheese is perfect. This time I got the red velvet hot chocolate. I had never heard of this drink before so I had to give it a try. It was so good!! The drink was so creamy and the red velvet taste was so fragrant. I wanted to get another one. (and I did! hehe) Since it's Christmas, come down for some red velvet hot chocolate, you won't regret it! read more

My fav spot for dessert is Vietnam Town... this place is small and limited seating but their drinks and desserts are delicious!!! Favorite includes: - the hot desserts (che dau, che chuoi, che khaoi mon) - french patisseries (creme brulee, red velvet cake, chocolate mousse, cheesecake) - drinks: fruit mojitos, rose tea and their fresh coconut drinks) Service is eh... you place order and wait for your number to be called. read more

I believe this place is now run under a new management. The menu has changed but the name and layout remain the same. As a non Vietnamese speaking person, I found it hard to order the drinks due to the language barrier. I suggest to add numbers next to the food name to reduce confusion and expedite the ordering process. I order Che Bo which has avocado pudding and the actual avocado chucks. I wish the avocado pieces are smaller. The avocado chunks make it harder to eat and don't blend well together with the rest of the ingredients. read more

I've had desserts, milk teas, and other items here over the years. I would say they're pretty consistent with taste and quality. The menu is extensive offering all sorts of coffee and tea specials. My friend and I stopped in after a late dinner on a weekday, and ordered a whole bunch of cake slices to go. The tiramisu is super fire - make sure to try at least a slice if you're a fan. It was a great way to end the evening! read more

Uhm hello!! Super cheap and delicious creme brulee? Need I say more? The boyfriend KNOWS how creme brulee is my favorite dessert and took me here since he's extremely familiar with the area. We came on a sunny Saturday afternoon and the entire plaza was relatively busy. We ordered both the Creme brulee and the Espresso Creme brulee. While I have had much more delicate consistency from other places, for ~$5 you really can't hate. The flavor is there and the consistency is good enough. The Espresso creme brulee was yummy and had a cream puff on top! The torched sugar on the regular creme brulee was a bit too thick and too hard for my liking. Overall, still realllllly solid!! Yes I am going to keep this spot in my dessert rotation. I can't wait to try other sweets from here! read more

In the Vietnamese plaza shopping center . Can order on the kiosk or walk up to the register and placed your order with an employee. It's a small little cafe, they do have a few chairs and table outside as well . My son had the cheese cake with what looks like brown sugar syrup on top , he says it's too dense and dry, doesn't have that rich creamy cheese cake taste . I had the beignet, it had chocolate filling . To me it tasted like a doughnut hole with fillings , more thicker dough on the dryer side . I passed it to hubby after one bite didn't care for it . My children liked their pastry macarons read more

After eating pho for lunch nearby, we wandered here for some coffee/tea. It is literally located on a corner and they had an interesting menu. Lots of desserts to choose from, displayed behind the glass case and an array of various drinks. What caught my eye on the menu was the non coffee section- lots of yummy flavors. I ordered the pistachio and the barista assured me it could be made dairy and caffeine free! Jackpot perfect. Omg the drink was pistachio heaven, way surpassed Starbucks pistachio. I thoroughly enjoyed and thanked the barista. She made it with almond milk per my request, and I would totally order it again. Thank you! They have a cute wall, great for selfie pics too read more

Depending on when you visit, that's how the service works. Sometimes you'll get a Hi, Welcome greeting when you walk in, but a majority of the time, it's a NOPE! Customer service definitely needs major work & the funny thing is it doesn't stop us from visiting cause Hot TaroT is the bessst! & the yummy treats are all filled w/goody goodness, so we can't help but visit when we crave this place even when there's a thousand other boba shops in the same plaza. Lots of parking & if it's not busy, you can find a nice close parking spot. Small inside but, seating outside when the weather is nice. If it's busy or not your jam, you'll be happy to know you'll find what you like inside Little Saigon Plaza, that's for sure! read more

Rude service. Came in and greeted the young man at the front while I ordered at kiosk. No acknowledgement whatsoever. The ordering system was confusing and different than the menu up top?

My favorite place for Vietnamese chè! Pro tip- get a coconut milk + fresh coconut water mix, light ice, the following toppings: coconut meat, pandan jelly, red jelly, and kidney beans. A bit pricey, but oh so good! Be sure to request 1/3-1/2 cup of toppings (sometimes they go overboard ) Their teas are delicious too!! I love their rose and lavender teas so far :) going to come back to try their elderflower, one of my fav aromas :) We also tried their creme brûlée cheesecake another visit a few weeks ago and it was surprisingly good!! Not too sweet :) comfort dessert Ambience: chillax, relaxing, cute atmosphere perfect for a quick dessert stop after a delicious Vietnamese lunch or dinner at one of the places close by :) Service: sweet and pleasant experiences so far! Very accommodating with regard to customizations :) Thanks!! read more

Today I came in to try out the drinks. I got the mango smoothie with white boba, lychee Italian soda, and slice of red velvet cake! I feel like the mango doesn't really taste like *mango* but yummy nonetheless! The lychee Italian soda was also really refreshing. The slice of red velvet kind of reminded of "nothing Bundt cakes". Not over-barely sweet! The service was quick and nice. The guy asked if we wanted toppings for both drinks and offered alternatives! The kiosk wasn't working unfortunately but it was fine, there was no crazy line or demand for it. The cafe was super adorable and although the decor was dark, the natural lighting balances it. read more
