Sweet Memes - Austin
3801 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“Sweet Memes nails the Instagram-worthy aesthetic with a picnic-in-the-park vibe that keeps people coming back for the experience as much as the treats. Their desserts are the real star here—thoughtfully balanced and high-quality—though the drink menu's heavy customization options can feel overwhelming and the boba tends to run sweet even with special requests. It's the perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon with friends, pretty surroundings, and genuinely craveable sweets, just arrive early to snag parking.”

Good dessert place! Lots of choices for drinks and some pastries too! Felt like too many customizations and could get confusing Overall a nice place to get some sweet tooth cravings
This place was really amazing when it opened. Very picnic in the park aesthetics and treats that taste really good. But it feels like the owner is focused on doing whatever is cheapest. The silverware went from metal to cheap, plain plastic which is hard to cut the croffles with. I was swarmed by fruit flies on my last visit, and the fruits on my croffles tasted a little off too. You order from a stand now instead of speaking to the workers directly, which feels awkward. It seems they also got rid of their blooming teas which is disappointing.
So for ambiance it’s definitely 10/10! Very pretty and aesthetic. But boba drinks are like 4/10 as they were too sugary even after I specifically said less sugar. And also desserts are OK not exceptional. We tried chocolate toast and strawberry foam cake. They are very pricey about $12 each.
Amazing! Hands down my new favorite spot for dessert and all things sweet and satisfying! I was not expecting to have such a perfect experience at this dessert shop. Hey only downside was parking, a bit tricky and frustrating. We parked kinda far away. They have self serve kiosks by the entrance where you order yourself. Our order came out real quick. The staff was quiet but super friendly. It was my boyfriend’s birthday, I asked for a candle and they helped me out with that and a lighter. Super nice, speedy and professional service! Our pancakes and crepe cake were to die for. I had never had something so delicious before. This spot is a must try in south Austin! An absolute gem! Love the pink decor!
We came for the deserts more than the drinks and we loved it! They worked hard to make a photo-friendly atmosphere. The food was high quality and not too sweet. Hope to make it back to try the drinks sometime.
