The Sweet Corner
989 Story Rd, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“The Sweet Corner is a family-friendly spot in San Jose's Vietnam Town that's recently undergone new ownership with a refreshed aesthetic and expanded menu. While the beautifully decorated space and friendly staff create an inviting atmosphere perfect for lingering over drinks and pastries, recent reviews suggest the new ownership is still finding their footing—some regulars note the drinks lean too sweet and flavors feel different from before. If you're exploring the area and want a casual place to meet friends over matcha, specialty drinks, and light bites, it's worth a visit, though longtime fans may want to give them time to settle in.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
