The soft serve ice cream comes from grass fed cows raised at Iwase farms in Sunagawa, Hokkaido. They have delicious toppings such as mochi, brown sugar, roasted soy bean powder combo. Fruit sauces, and other seasonal flavors. I'm lactose intolerant and for some reason my gut tolerates this ice cream. Atom wanted shaved ice next door he missed out!

We may have been willing to give it 5 stars given we didn't try anybof the toppings, but we wanted…read moreto try the ice cream by itself. It was quite good! It's more subtle in flavor than other soft serve I've previously had. My wife and I shared the matcha swirl, she liked the plain, I liked the matcha. Because it's not overly sweet, the flavor of the Hokkaido milk comes through, and it's a good flavor. My older son had the yaki-imo (sweet potato) brulee, we both liked it, but we noted you should like seeet potato (we do), whereas my wife and my younger son are indifferent to yaki-imo. It was novel and definitely a fun choice. I'd definitely try this place again, this time with a topping on the matcha-flavored ice cream. As the LATryGuy (an online food influencer)wouldnsay, this place is legit!

I've been coming to B Sweet for years to get my fix of the Sluttiest Brownie, so imagine my horror…read morewhen I stopped by recently and they didn't have one. Forced to explore other options, I ordered the Ooey Gooey Butter Bar and a chocolate brownie bar instead. And honestly? They can do no wrong. I was especially shocked by how much I loved the Ooey Gooey Butter Bar. As someone who usually gravitates toward anything involving large amounts of chocolate, I wasn't expecting to fall for a dessert that didn't revolve around it. Yet there I was, happily eating every last bite and wondering where it had been all my life. Everything I've had from B Sweet over the years has been consistently delicious. Rich, indulgent, and exactly the kind of treat that makes an ordinary day feel a little more special. I also love seeing how they've grown. There used to be just the Sawtelle location, and now there are multiple locations spreading sweetness across LA. A longtime favorite and one of the few places that has never let me down when dessert is involved.

Food: It great to be back here after so many years!…read moreI git the Ube Cheesecake and WOW its was so delicious! I live how they drizzle Ube syrup on top - a MUST TRY for ube lovers for sure! Service: The staff who served us was super nice and very helpful. Ambience: Still the same as the last time we were here many years ago. It was neat, clean and organize inside. Tables and seati g areas ate outside. Parking: Street parking only (metered) but good luck finding one especially on weekends.

The katsu combo (chicken, pork, shrimp, and mackerel) was very crunchy, and the chicken and pork were especially tender. The proteins were a bit bland on their own, but the dipping sauces were solid and helped a lot. The Fish & Chips were a highlight--the fish was soft inside and crispy outside, and the fries were very good. The corn soup was naturally sweet and mild but surprisingly flavorful. The curry had a good level of spice and came out in a fun gravy boat since we ordered it as a side for dipping. The vibe is relaxed and beachy, with surfboards and a cool blue sky ceiling feature. Service was friendly and fast. Unlimited rice and grinding your own sesame seeds were nice touches. I'd come back to try their creamy udon dishes.

First off this coconut dessert was fresh and delicious, we ordered the mango coconut dessert and triple latte. The coconut portion was fresh, great texture and most importantly to us, not watery. Secondly the interior was nice and clean, a few tables to enjoy if eating there. The girl helping us was friendly and welcoming. This location definitely trumps the Irvine location and I can now see why the Westchester location closed. The Sawtelle location is in a prime location, plenty of potential customer and the coconut dessert was amazingly delicious!

There's also a menu of matcha/tea lattes, which are whisked by hand and made to order! I'm giving the Sesame Walnut Coconut Jelly a 4/5 because while it was delicious, the ratio of the coconut jelly to topping is a little off. The sesame topping was quite watery, which led to the coconut jelly dissipating halfway through enjoying it.

Super quiet inside, no music, there was like one worker and really difficult to hear her with her mask on but I get it. We ordered a box of 6 different flavors (chocolate, Sakura matcha, original, Dubai, honey butter, Creme de Leche) and so far everything is delish!! The honey butter is probably my favorite so far. Parking is rough around here, lot is small so I recommend finding metered street parking. Prices are great and they last a while refrigerated! Good stuff and definitely need to come by more often.
