Sweetheart Cafe

Busy little shop that serves up delicious bingsu and boba milk tea. We used the self service kiosk to order and that really helped since we could take our time to customize our order and decide what else to get. We settled on the green tea bingsu and the strawberry milk tea. The milk tea was smooth and refreshing and the bingsu was flavorful and fun to eat.

The food was 10/10, ordered 4 items for $43 and stayed for over an hour. Arrived at 10:58, waited for him to open, then hit right away as he opened at 11 AM. He works very hard, he was alone in the kitchen through all of it. My order took so long that a line started to form and my friends and I felt so bad. It was all amazing, I dream about his food and this shop. If I lived in SF, I would come here every day. Came back later that day right before he closed at 8 and he closed up while we were waiting inside. Ordered another $30 worth of food and he didn't remember us until he was told we were the people with a big order from this morning. Well, we all ordered separately so all 4 items in the pic were mine and I killed it all within 45 minutes. TL;DR, this guy deserves the world. 1000% recommend Also good quality napkins

I really like their Taro smoothie, I was able to get it less sweet and the self ordering kiosk makes it fast and easy. I wonder how’s their egg biscuits? Will try it next visit.

I ventured into this place with hopes of savoring authentic Asian desserts, and while my overall experience was normal, I want to share some additional details. This sweet haven is tucked away in a small shop nestled in Chinatown. Upon arrival, I realized that the service process here is quite peculiar; you take your order yourself and then simply wait for it to be delivered to you. We opted for the Oreo Bingsu and the Nutella crepe, two choices that promised to satisfy my sweet cravings. However, the wait to receive our order was longer than expected, almost 20 minutes, despite the place not being particularly crowded. This aspect could be an inconvenience for those in a hurry, although personally, I found the delay to be an opportunity to enjoy the diversity of Asian treats adorning the cozy space. What makes this place interesting is that, despite its small size and unique service approach, the desserts showcase an authenticity and quality worth highlighting. Additionally, I appreciate the attentive attitude of the staff, even though most of them are older individuals. In summary, this is a charming corner in Chinatown where you can take your own order, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Asian sweets, and enjoy authentic flavors in a peculiar setting.

What a fun snack and dessert shop! I enjoyed the hot grass jelly with all the condiments (red beans, small and large bobas) and grapefruits tea with bob. Staff is friendly and no wait during weekdays. Will try the home made sesame ice cream next time. Supposedly sesame has antioxidant, anti inflammatory, heart healthy, and improve hair effect
