“Tucked into Temple City, this intimate family-run cafe wins hearts with genuine warmth and creative drinks that go beyond the usual espresso run—think matcha lattes and inventive smoothies like snow fungus and mango. With just four tables creating a cozy, lively vibe, it's the kind of place where the owners remember you and might surprise you with complimentary pastries, making every visit feel like visiting friends who happen to make excellent coffee and matcha.

Really fun cafe with a cozy and lively atmosphere. Felt super welcome with the service and the drinks were top notch. I have been going regularly now I LOVE IT
We had snow fungus and mango smoothie the owner (i think she was the owner ) gifted us a almond cake and a carrot caks
This little café is truly amazing. It’s cozy, clean, and has such a welcoming vibe. The family that runs it is incredibly kind and well-mannered—they really make the place feel special. My brother and I always enjoy picking up their muffins or little cakes, and they never disappoint. The quality is consistently excellent, and you can tell they put real care into everything they make. We love stopping by whenever we get the chance. It’s one of those small local spots that really deserves support.
Cafe Sweet is a small, cozy family-owned restaurant with only four tables, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we appreciated their warm hospitality. While they mentioned their food is Cambodian, we found it to be more fusion—an intriguing mix of East and West. We tried their daily special, the house beef bone noodle soup, and it was absolutely delicious. The beef was tender, and the broth was bursting with flavor. We also ordered the spring egg rolls, which were fantastically tasty, though they could benefit from a touch more deep frying for that perfect crisp. There’s a drink promotion currently, so we ordered a Thai smoothie and a matcha, and got a passion fruit drink for free—all of which were delightful. They also specialize in tea cakes, but we didn’t get a chance to try them this time. Definitely something to look forward to on our next visit! One highlight was when the chef/owner came out to personally chat with us about our experience and flavors. We appreciated her openness to feedback, especially regarding the egg rolls. It’s always wonderful to see a place that values customer input. If you’re looking for a unique and friendly dining experience, Cafe Sweet is worth a visit!
This restaurant caught my attention and was pleasantly surprised by the service and quality of the drinks especially the matcha latte. The staff is very nice and gave us some baked goods on the house.
