Crema's Take
“Sweet Bean's matcha pandan latte paired with their purple rice taro bun is a knockout combination that keeps people raving, and the pastries here—especially the salted egg bolo—are genuinely excellent. This is a family-friendly spot that takes both coffee creativity and traditional Asian bakery craftsmanship seriously, making it worth the trip to Chinatown even if you've never visited the original location.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
