The pistachio frappe was absolutely amazing, it had a rich, thick milkshake vibe to it, and I've honestly never had anything quite like it before. Beyond the incredible drinks, this place is a fantastic hidden gem. The interior features really nice lighting, and there is a ton of seating if you're looking for a comfortable spot to study, complete with plenty of wall outlets to keep your laptop and phone charged. To top it all off, the service was wonderfully kind and welcoming. I highly recommend checking this spot out!

The ambiance is social and might feel more college-like, understandably but don't let that stop you from ordering anything. My green tea matcha latte was actually really good. I didn't have any issues with service or ordering even though I kept my order simple since I'm not familiar with their menu (yet). From my limited experience here, it was good. The establishment feels almost hidden if you're new or curious about it. But go check it out for yourself and let me know how their matcha ice cream is. I'll eventually be back again.

The menu was a little confusing as to what you're actually ordering and how to order the ice cream treat. The ice cream was very tasty.. with all that comes on and in the cone it was a little sweet for me. I think if I go back again I'd ask more questions. one question I'd have is if I can pick the flavor and the options I want on and in my cone. Overall it was good, and you get a lot of ice cream.

Nothing special, good ice cream, would not recommend over anywhere else…read more Parking is rough, you need to find street parking or a parking; great location if you're commuting or just walking by. Service was non-existent and poor. Cashiers looked like they did not want to be there; they were out of strawberries which is a staple in a bunch of their cones. Cashier didn't make any recommendations to other ice cream cones of modifications to make the cones work in place of missing strawberries. I had to ask a few times to figure out if I could get a certain cone without strawberries. I got the Cheesecake Cone, it was good but very messy. I'd recommend sitting down to eat. I wasn't give a napkin or spoons but you definitely need it especially if it get hotter. The price is up there for a singular cone it's about $11, they also have optional tipping that doesn't feel optional. The restaurant is clean, but lacking in keeping you around. They have tables you can stand around outside, but the objective inside seems like to get you ice cream and get out; I'm sure it makes sense during busier times. All in all it's good, just not great. I'd come in again and when I do I hope the customer service is better.

Also one of my favorite foods! I also got the BLT with avocado and it was so so so so good! I was really impressed with the fact that I got everything right it was delivered quickly and the food was actually amazing even on takeout. I highly recommend checking this place out. It was so so so good. I'm not sure about the ambience of this place because I had to be delivered, but I would probably check it out in their actual location because it was such a great experience

The eggs Benedict were served on either untoasted or barely toasted English muffins that instantly became soggy due to the abundance of what was supposed to be holandaise sauce. Because it neither tasted or looked like hollandaise I inquired if it was made in house or a store bought product. Staff ensured me it was made it house. The hash brown potatoes, much like the English muffin, were undercooked and quite tasteless. I prefer supporting locally owned restaurants rather than chains but cannot recommend the Sweet Dessert Cafe to anyone.

I was so excited because I heard about this place a long time ago and had yet to visit. It's fairly small inside with a small glass case on the side with cookies and one main one filled with both sweet and savory options. There were also a few loaves of bread on the counter. Everything looked great, but it was a such a warm day so my mom and I opted for something light. The Coffee Cake was indeed as light and airy as it looked. The cake layers tasted like a sponge cake with slightly dry edges (a little over-baked). I think the espresso layers were mousse and not too sweet. It was topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean that was tasty as well. Overall it was a nice afternoon treat. I would like to go back sometime and try their Japanese cheesecake, and their raisin bread loaf too.

It took at least a good 5-7 minutes before I got my food, it was hot and fresh. And the savory chicken with sweet waffle was perfectly balanced. This was my first time having bubble waffles, and they were yummy. They were 'churro' style and had a very light cinnamon and sugar flavor. The chicken was a really good portion, hot and crispy. And there is a side of fried crispy chicken skin, ohhhhh so salty - so good! While they maybe be considered more of a sweet shop with their churro, ice cream, and boba offerings, they have a pretty good savory food menu. The staff was super nice, and I'm definitely going to come back here!! Thank you Churro Nest and Yelp! For this experience. I rarely ever go to Tempe Marketplace, so I dont know if I would have found this place otherwise! It's located across from Forever 21, and next door to piercing shop Rowan.

Churros: because life needs more magic wands made of dough and sugar!…read more As someone whose sweet tooth is on the smaller side, I like that this place has some savory options. It allows me to enjoy a snack with my friends who are all about that sugar rush lifestyle. I do recommend the breakfast bites for a sweet option. The churros are cut smaller, and you get a mountain of whipped cream and fresh fruit to dip you churros in. It's like the chips and guacamole of in the churro world. The churro-crusted churro-style Hong Kong egg waffles are a must. They drizzle a nice chipotle syrup on top, and they even give you fried chicken skin to munch on. The chicken loco moco is also good, although I suggest asking for more gravy. I'm a gravy fiend, though, so if you're about moderation, it's probably sufficient for you. Milk teas and coffee are good here, but I would pass on the syrupy fruit drinks. This place also offers adorable egg cups, so if you're a sucker for a cute Instagram-worthy beverage, this place does a good job. I like it here! I hope you like it here too. The place is a bit warm, though, so be warned. Bring a hair tie!

I ordered the Thai milk tea at 0% sugar and less ice and it was not overly sweet. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. They have a sign that made you think that perhaps unsavory characters come in and try to be served. More of a takeout kind of place. I would return if in the area.
