Such a great spot to catch up with friends, grab a coffee, and enjoy a sweet treat!

We had a terrible experience. We ordered five drinks: two with light ice and three with no ice. The…read moreno-ice drinks were intended for the next day. Unfortunately, we had the displeasure of being helped by Trish. She was noticeably rude to my sister from the start. The irritation and outright contempt she displayed were unlike anything we've experienced at this location. She even spoke negatively about our order to the coworker making the drinks while we were standing just a few feet away, which was incredibly unprofessional. When we received the no-ice drinks, we understood that ordering without ice might mean the cup wouldn't be completely full. However, the amount of the drink we were given was unacceptable. While the drinks are delicious and worth to us, they are $8.00! Thankfully, when we requested a refund, it was handled by a different employee who was kind, courteous, and professional. I want to end by saying that my sister was polite and respectful throughout the entire interaction. The way she was treated was completely uncalled for, and we left feeling very disappointed. We have been visiting this location for many years and have never had an experience like this before.

I love the decorations so much in this place it was so well thought out. We were greeted right away from a beautiful lady from behind the counter whom we found out was one of the owners. We got a chatting a bit about her business with her husband. She was super warm and wonderful to talk to. Their chocolate is with a small business out of Las Vegas. They make small batches of chocolate of each flavour of chocolates. It was so nice that there was also coffee and tea options, plus other desserts like donuts, scones, danish plus so much other choices. I love that they have a Macaron & Coffee Flight. They even have gluten free Macaron choices. So many hand made chocolates and gelatos. They have cute seated areas to have your desserts at. They even have a cute gift shelf in the back. Most definitely have to come back here and try some other things in the future.

Sweet Oven is one of my go-to spots for amazing Vietnamese coffee and matcha (although the…read moremacaroons and croffles should not be overlooked). Their coffee offers the strong, bold flavors of traditional Vietnamese coffee while also introducing fun and interesting variations, the honeycomb and fish sauce coffees being some of my staples. More recently I tried their seasonal jasmine matcha and persimmon matcha - both are delicious, with the persimmon matcha being one of the best matchas I have ever had. Service is quick and friendly, and accommodating to dairy substitutions. SWeet Oven shares space with the Sandwhich Spot, making for a clean cafeteria feel. Highly recommend this spot for your coffee/tea/sweet needs.

Summary: the drinks are unique, delicious, and the ingredients are freshly prepped for each drink…read more The black sesame hojicha, mango sticky rice matcha, and pistachio latte are stand outs. The people are friendly and knowledgeable if you have questions. It's family owned. Finding it is annoying because it's in a larger corporate building and shares the space with the sandwich spot. There's plenty of parking around the area, but only a few spots right in front of the entrance. Full review: Been coming here for a little over a year. Tried almost all of their drinks, cookies, and macrons, including several of their rotating specials. I've also had their savory croffle and it was delicious. This place is BY FAR the best matcha/coffee shop I've ever had. If you are a Dutch bros or Starbucks person, you may not love it. This place is not about dumping sugar into all their drinks. Flavor comes first, sweetner is secondary. Food/Drink: I'm not the coffee drinker, my partner is, and he rates his favorite as follows: 1. Pistachio Latte 2. Fish Sauce (it has a strong caramel flavor with a little saltiness, no fish flavor) 3. Cookie Butter 4. Black Sesame He's tried every coffee on the permanent menu and these are his favorites. Now for the Matcha/Teas. I can't pick a favorite, because they're all perfect. Not too sweet, and whatever the flavor, it stands out! For example, when they had a pistachio matcha, I watched them crush pistachios for my drink specifically. The flavor was so strong and they clearly know what they're doing picking these flavor combos, because it was excellent. I also love the banana matcha, the banana pudding matcha, the mango matcha, and the double matcha. But the star is the mango sticky rice matcha. I've only had it twice because it's a WHOLE MEAL in a drink. It's delicious and unique and the flavors are outstanding. It actually has all the ingredients of mango sticky rice, including cooked rice. It's amazing!! My personal favorite drink, that I've got the last 10 times I've visited is the black sesame hojicha. It is seriously the best drink I've ever had. Right now, I think they only have the double black sesame on their menu, but I've asked for this every time since it was on their specials menu and they still make it. The cookies and macrons and AMAZING. The s'mores cookie is my absolute fave and the damn crème brûlée macron is in my top 10 desserts of all time. The savory croffle is also a surprisingly good breakfast choice. I honestly thought there is no way they could be doing all of this well, but they don't put anything on the menu that isn't delicious and well made. Service: We've been here so many times that we've been lucky enough to talk to both the husband and wife that own the place. They are so damn creative and come up with the flavors for not only the drinks, but the pastries. They are both very nice. There are a few people working the registers every time we visit and they are helpful if you have questions and they're quick to get these drinks out even though they basically prep the ingredients fresh for each drink. Location/parking: This place is a pain to find. It is across the parking lot from the bank entrance, sharing a space with a sandwich spot. There are a few parking spaces in front of the store, but the parking on the main street is free. There is a lot of seating inside and large tables for big groups. There are even plug in areas at the bar like seating along the windows. Unfortunately, they aren't open on Sundays or it would be the perfect study spot.

Walking in, the line was short but the staff took a really long time servicing people. Since it's a 2hr drive from SF to Sac, you know I'm about to bulk buy. The case had a good selection but quite a few were sold out already. Everything looks really delicious but I had to control myself. Almond Croissant $7.50 - I don't remember what this tasted like so it must've been standard. Matcha Croissant $9 - Don't let the price deter you because for $9, you get a big filling croissant and it was honestly so delicious. The dipped part was like a white chocolate matcha and the inside matcha filling was so good. I don't know how but I fridged it and ate it the next day, IT WAS STILL CRISPY! This was the highlight and highly recommend getting it. Blueberry Choux $11 - This was also really good too. The blueberry filling was creamy and delicious. It tasted really fresh. Macarons $2.95 each - Standard stuff. I got a Thai coconut cream and this is a flavor I haven't seen before and recommend trying it! In summary, highly recommend trying this place. It is on the pricier side but if you're like me and don't go to Sac often, I would give this place a try and buy extra!!

We actually have purchased her macarons at a pop up inside a coffee shop that didn't survive these covid times. Sad but real. This past December 2021 Saturday she was located inside the West Elm furniture store nearby Mendocino Farms restaurant. My wife was mistaken thinking she was outside but I saw her hubby JR in front of the store chatting with another small business vendor & told me Tiffany was inside. We have supported this small business for over five years bc Tiffany told us how old her two girls are now 6 & 11. Where has time flown? Wifey wanted to try her newest ube flan macarons. Whoa these were delicious bites made from heaven. They were unique like none other. You can tell they were made with love. We were accustomed to Tiffany's usual macarons case but instead she had ready made 6 pack & 12 pack macaron boxes as well as hot cocoa bombs & leche flan dessert cups specific for the holiday season! Come support this small home business. You will thank me later. Follow Love and macarons on Instagram or on her website for her pop up information. If you're lucky you may be able to preorder some macarons today & pick them up right away! Check it out now! Don't wait.

I haven't actually tried any of the chocolates yet, although I did end up buying the fall sampler box. It looks beautiful. TBH, the girl working on the counter was really abrasive and impatient with me. I walked up. She asked what she could get for me and I started to say that my mother was coming to town and I wanted to buy her something special and she turned around and started talking to someone else. Then when she turned back around, I asked her about the flavors in the box and then I asked her about the flavors and the other box that was for sale of their regular chocolates. She said that the regular chocolate box comes with a card. I'm like I don't see the card. What are the flavors in here? And then she picks up the box and then starts reading off the back and pointing to the case below to the different varieties. It wasn't what she was saying about how she was doing it, very quick jerky motion, and obviously irritated. I'm sorry, but I'm getting ready to buy a box of chocolates for almost $50 and there's nobody in line behind me. I've never been here before so I need a little help. That kind of place should have better service. Especially if they're going to act like that at the counter and then turn the little iPad around at the end of the transaction where it asks how much gratuity you want to leave. I left $2 which honestly was $2 too much. When we walked outside, my man asked if I thought my mom would like them and I said I hope so. And then I said, I thought that girl was really rude and he said she absolutely was! So not just in my head. If my mother absolutely loves those chocolates, I may return to the business, but otherwise I'll probably skip it.

I stopped at Pushkin's Bakery with a friend one morning and went straight for the Mud Pie Cookie. Rich, decadent, intensely chocolatey, and somehow gone much too quickly.

Everything at Pushkin's is gluten-free, but that's almost beside the point. These are just really good baked goods, period. The display case is dangerously tempting, the service was quick and friendly, and I loved the refreshingly no-fuss atmosphere. Come in, choose your carb, be happy. Next time, I'm branching out from dessert-for-breakfast territory and trying one of their sandwiches. Although realistically, I'll probably still leave with a cookie.
