I tried the yakult green tea and it tasted like water but worse. The man that took my order did not show any politeness.

Omg this place is literally so cute. You gotta check it out they have so many dessert options that you can show your friends and family and treat them. You could also take out and buy these sweet treats as a gift to someone. The inside is also really nice and the people who work there are also pretty chill. Check this place out for some nice vibes and dessert :)

With all the bakeries in flushing they all start to taste the same after a while but what stands out about sweet cake is their unique flavors. I came in with a group and we had a hard time choosing what to eat. Each slice of cake tasted fresh. The one that stood out was the sesame boba puff. If you like sesame then I recommend this dessert. Also the boba they put on was chewy. The staff was attentive and friendly. They had a sliced earl grey cake that I will order the next time I go. I also see that their cakes were nicely decorated and at a reasonable price. If you are into mom and pops shops and are tired of the big name bakeries out there then stop by this cafe.

Space wise is relatively big for a cafe in Flushing. About three blocks from Main Street/7 train (still not too far away) to say the least. Right across the street from Flushing Town Hall. Best of all, it's a very short walking distance for me from my home to Sweet Cake. Staff will immediately greet you as soon as you've walked through the door. That fridge display of vibrant cakes and delicious cream puffs is just so mesmerizing to look at, wondering to yourself what you should order and chow down. Has quite a lot of seats in the seating area on the side and towards the back where there lies a very clean (I mean spotless restroom) for customers to use. Love that there're plenty of outlets to charge your phones/devices either underneath the seats or on the wall. Ambiance wise is very warm and homey like an outdoor patio with wooden seats and tables. You order at the front and then they call the # on your receipt, sometimes the staff might even bring you the tray of treats to where you're sitting. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. You can sit for hours without being worried that you'll be shooed away. Extremely fast service from very friendly staff. They accept Apple Pay besides credit/debit card and cash. Price wise ranges from moderate to expensive depending on what you decide to get like a sliced or whole cake. I have ordered an iced brown sugar boba milk tea (tried asking for no ice to get my money's worth but then staff said it would have been just milk foam....so no, you can only get it with less ice if you really don't like ice in your drinks...epic fail). Accidentally forgot to adjust the level of sweetness while looking at the delicious cake display, so turns out that I've ordered it with 100% sugar instead of half the amount in the end. It is in a huge plastic disposable cup though, so at least you'll get lots of sips out of the drink. Even without full sugar but because there's the brown sugar syrup, I think it's already sweet enough. I'll have to remember to adjust the sugar along with the ice level when I go back next time. Love their qq-textured boba, it's been cooked to just the right amount of chewiness (not too hard and not too soft or slimy). Also got an ube brown sugar mochi cream puff and a sesame earl grey chiffon sliced cake. Moving on to the taste test, the crust pastry of the cream puff is far too soft for me. In other words, it crumbles up way too easily imo. I didn't even use a lot of pressure (just by holding it gently) and the crust already cracks/falls apart. Therefore, I think it would be a good thing to improve on the texture of the outer crust. However, I truly admire the rich and creamy but not heavy ube filling of the brown sugar cream puff. Additionally, it's not overly sweet either which is a huge plus. The sprinkling of the tiny mochi pieces have added the perfect final touches to the cream puff like a cherry + icing on top. Other than the crumbling texture, everything is great on its own. As for the rectangular sesame earl grey chiffon sliced cake, there's a lot of aromatic sesame flavor in between each of the evenly-layered sesame cream filling. You can see that they've also added edible gold flakes as decor + as the highlight on top of the cake. It's not very overwhelmingly sweet unlike the desserts from typical American bakeries. I feel like all the sweet treats from Sweet Cake would be great to pair off with a cup of coffee for a quick treat, as desserts or for a cheat day breakfast. I mean, you gotta treat yourself once in a while lol. Can totally see myself going back to this cafe more often now from time to time whenever I'm not off to Manhattan and staying in the Flushing area. Sweet Cake is certainly a hidden gem! The sweets are creative, delicious, and visually stunning. Plus, their desserts have that perfect balance of flavors. Definitely a great spot to satisfy your sweet tooth! Until next time!

Despite its name, the desserts here aren't very sweet which can be a good or bad thing depending on your personal preference. We came around the end of the day on a weekend and it was pretty empty besides one table. We ordered the ube cream puff and slice of ube cake which was nicely presented. For the cream puff, I was pleasantly surprised that the choux was still crisp, but both the puff and cake lacked actual ube flavor. I would come back and give the other desserts a try and revisit the ube later on. If you're dining in, their tray return is hidden out of sight near where the restroom is. Note: They have a $10 credit card minimum.

Staff was super friendly! Desserts were all delicious and pleased the eyes! Love the sesame earl grey cake, a perfect balance of nuttty flavors and tea flavors, light while satisfied the sweet tooth.Taro cheesecake, creamy cheesecake layer with an earthy taro layer at the bottom.Favorite, pineapple cake. The shortbread crust was buttery, crumbly with moist and fibrous pineapple filling.
Cute spot with super unique desserts! Drinks were okay, maybe I'll have to come back and try them again. Would recommend!

Everyone please look at this BEAUTIFUL cake that I got yesterday!! Mango and taro flavor, the top with layer mango cake with mango frosting and mango fruit chunks and the bottom with real taro layer. $38 which is not a bad price for a unique fresh cake, can feed 10 ppl. Cute decorations for CNY and when I told them it was for my mom’s bday they gave me a handmade sign!! Everyone loved the cake, even my cousin who doesn’t like to eat cake and my dad who complains about the quality/price of everything we buy outside had two slices ? the cashiers were so sweet and had the cake wrapped up beautifully with candles, mini plates and utensils. They even gave me free nougat candies when I checked out. I am so happy with my purchase, can’t wait to come back and try other flavors!
Stopped here late afternoon for some coffee and dessert and I loved everything about this place. I saw some people doing work on their laptops and some were even playing card games. This tells me that it's a place that people can actually hangout at and not feel rushed to finish their food or feel that they're going to get kicked out. We ordered the black sesame earl grey cake, strawberry pudding, peach mango pudding, coffee and milk tea. The black sesame earl grey cake was my favorite out of everything. The cake was soft and light and the filling was very nice as well. Everything was not too sweet and didn't leave you feeling heavy after eating it. Definitely want to come back the next time I'm in flushing to try new things!

Not much choices to choose from but i caved and ordered a cup of tiramisu. which I'm glad I did, Chocolate Dream taste just like a petite cakes, but the outter chocolate shell was to thick to cut thur it. I was move afraid my friend stabbing it and having my cake fly across the dining room lol. honey citrus. It's good but just tab bit watered down My friend ordered a earl grey black sesame cake and a drink. All i could say was she was HAPPPPPYYYY!!!! Definitely coming back to sweet cakes. Sweet cakes is definitely a good place for just a sit down place or you just want a nice quiet place to concentrate.
