Tiramisú cake in the slice form was terrible .
Ordered 2 boba drinks, fish ball, cheese cake and cheese sticks. Only cheese cake and cheese sticks were edible, rest had to trash. Surprised to see paper napkins had to be requested, not provided with food and drinks. Probably was not excited to see my family in their shop. Once we trashed the drinks, we had better experience from Happy Lemon, in same complex.
Desserts shop with various coffee and teas…
Edit: changing to 1 star because I and my friend started experiencing throat pain (her) and stomach pain (me) shortly after eating.
$9 for a cup of Che and the beans are undercooked lol. Also got a Che tray can and everything feels canned (which is rude considering the price). The fruit texture feels like everything has been sitting in a cup for way too long. The red tapioca pearls have either very little or no water chestnut, so it’s not the ones that typically go in Che. They’re almost entirely tapioca and feel rather undercooked.
The other reviews are right. This used to be a top tier Che place in the area but the new management sucks. Never going again
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.
High quality service with yummy milk tea and shrimp rolls
Pros:
The staff are friendly and pleasant.
There’s a nice display of colorful pastries and plenty of savory options to choose from.
Cons:
It would be great if the shop could adjust the taste of the iced milk coffee a bit. I’ve tried many iced milk coffees from different places, but this one was hard to drink and I couldn’t finish it.
The milk tea was quite mild and didn’t have much tea fragrance.
The air conditioning was also not very cool.
=> This is mainly a drink shop, so it might be worth reviewing the recipes to better match the tastes of your target customers.
Bad quality, toppings were hard. It was way better before they changed ownership :(
Been coming here for years and the recent changes have been terrible. The green jellies are super hard, almost uncooked. The drinks have a lot fewer toppings and overall quality. The new owner is also rude and was not willing to adjust my drink when I made complaints. Will probably never come here again. It’s a shame because this used to be my go to place for che.
Just changed owner, menu changed Che dessert recipes no longer good, all the chewy toppings are now very hard. Would not recommend or go here again

The Sweet Corner specializes in Vietnamese-style desserts and drinks, offering che concoctions, crème brûlée, and macaroons. The red velvet latte and pandan drinks are popular choices. Located in Vietnam Town, the shop has a cozy atmosphere, though some customers mention that service can be slow at times.
Beyond drinks, The Sweet Corner offers a selection of pastries and sweets, including cream puffs and fruit-based desserts. While the presentation is appealing, some visitors mention that certain items can be inconsistent in texture, with some pastries being too dense or overly sweet
Chè does not taste the same as before and definitely more expensive.
Great place to enjoy sweet dessert with family and friends. 👍😋
So disappointing.. they have new owners and totally changed the menu.
Sweet Corner isn’t what it used to be anymore.
Extremely disappointed they got rid of most flavors of their flavored tea. We loved coming here for Peach Green Tea and White Peach Green Tea. It was always so good, refreshing, and no other boba spot would make it the same way.
I don’t get how they still chose to keep the business name but totally change their menu. Sweet Corner has been our go-to for probably a decade and to see this today, I’m so disappointed. I can’t say this enough. Now this place is like every other boba spot and has zero roots to the original Sweet Corner.
Save yourself the heartbreak. ✌🏽
Calamari- 10/10
Mango drink (Shine like a star) - 10/10
Tiramisu Cake - a big 7/10 (meeeh, flavour is amazing although I would like more cake and less cream. Chocolate cup is okay I think it’s just there for decorating purposes.)
