Was my first time here. I live near but never really tried it. I got a box of french macarons. Not that bad but wish to be more fresh and cheaper. It's such a tiny cookie smaller than usual and not worth the price. Otherwise it's not bad for once in a while treat. read more

Best place to get bubble tea on Staten Island! It's only a few blocks down from the New Dorp train station if you live farther away like I do. The customer service is wonderful! They let you sample any flavor of ice cream you want! The atmosphere is nice, it's very spacious, simple and colorful modern decor, and the music in the background is usually the Top 40. The first time, I tried the Taro Milk Tea both Hot and Cold versions. Lemme say that... the Tapioca Pearls... where cooked to PERFECTION! WOW I love them so much I can't have enough! Although I must say, for the milk tea drinks, they could use MUCH less sugar. I know this place is called Something Sweet, but the drink does not need to be super sweet. I still loved the drink. I just don't think its possible to handle all that sweetness. The second time, I got 2 Shredded Ices and 1 Kiwi Black Bubble Tea. My bf got the Strawberry Syrup w/Tapioca and I got the Sweet Condensed Milk w/Tapioca & Aloe Vera. They were so DELICIOUS! I must say that for only $1.99 each (1 topping & 1 syrup) Shredded Ice is WAY BETTER THAN ITALIAN ICES! And I LOVE Italian ices, but they are so expensive these days for a tiny scoop. This place gives you a good amount of shredded ice with syrup and a topping for a cheaper price! What more could you ask for??? Additional toppings are that much more money either! ~ 25/50cents. Now.. the Kiwi Black Bubble tea, OMG so TASTEY! and not too sweet! The bubbles were amazing. I could taste the black tea in the drink and the kiwi at the same time. It was great! read more

The ice cream is okay but not great. Definitely opt for Egger's for a more delicious and homemade-tasting experience.

Came to this location after a nice dinner out. The place is clean and was empty at first. As time went on it got much more crowded although not loud. This was due to the swarm of people coming to play Pokemon Go. There are two Pokestops and a gym nearby. At first I thought that this would be an issue but everyone was quiet (my son was able to stay asleep the whole time!) and respectful which I was very pleased with as well as everyone was buying something so I guess this is good for business. I got the chocolate peanut butter ice cream which was delicious! The server was extremely friendly which made the whole experience that much better! They also provide free wifi, might help you Pokemon Go players! Would definitely return to this location to try some of the other flavors! read more

I had a scoop of milk tea and a scoop of orange creamy on a waffle cone and it was delicious! They have other flavors like green tea, lychee, mango etc. Nice open space with lots of tables. -1 star cause service wasn't that great. I felt uncomfortable asking to try a couple of their unique flavors because the lady that was helping me wasn't that friendly... maybe a little annoyed with me even though there was no one waiting to be helped. A smile goes a long way. Nonetheless, I'll be back to try the other flavors as well as their bubble tea. read more

The bubble teas are alright, nothing crazy. The only weird part is my boyfriend and I are feeling extremely nauseous...

I haven't tried the bubble tea yet, but I really like the homemade ice creams. I have tried the green tea ice cream and the banana. I LOVE both of them, it's hard to decide which one to get when I go in there. My husband always gets a mocha chip milkshake and my son loves the strawberry. They have many other exotic flavors. The service was fast and the price was decent. I will be back!!! read more

showed up at 9:50 ready to get some bubble tea. walked in and was told they were closed but google maps says they close at 10:30. i'll never come back here ever again. read more

What memories this store has for me when it was Sedutto's. It changed hands a few times over the years but now it is an Asian style ice cream and Bubble Tea shop. It was a friends birthday so we came here to try the Rolled Ice Cream. They have 6 different combos and we both chose the Nutella. It's made of sweet cream, pocky, Nutella and one of those Cookie sticks. Now fair warning I don't like ice cream. I know what kind of good American am I. But this was delicious. That was the good butttt...... Now the not good, the parking, the length of time it takes to make each individual order of Rolled ice and the price $7.80???????? For 1. The worst part was the rudeness of the staff. Store was empty except for me and 2 friends. The girl snapped at me that I was not in the right love to order. What line? We were the only ones there. It got very crowded once 3:00 came around since schools were out so tweens descended like locust on the store. So you've been warned read more

Love this place for the bubble tea ! Black milk tea with tapioca is my constant go to .

Just love this place. Nice, clean, and friendly. Maybe not the biggest selection of ice cream but always fresh and tasty. I do visit them every other week for a treat. read more

Something Sweet is an awesome, and I strongly recommend it. Despite the location, the rates weren't outrageous. his menu has everything I like and I'm so excited to try it all. Most importantly the staff is courteous. Overall I would go again and recommend the place to friends. read more

The best bubble tea on Staten Island. I been here a couple of times and the almond milk tea with boba is my favorite!

As a self-proclaimed expert on bubble tea, and as a Taiwanese American, this place is average. The tapioca is a bit on the squishy side, with not enough chewiness. Perhaps we came on an off day. They need to be a bit more al dente. The fruit teas themselves are extremely sweet - maybe a bit too sweet. Let's say about one full standard deviation sweeter than average. However, as the best bubble tea I've tried on the island so far, we will be back. Hopefully I'll be able to update my review with better news as I had really high hopes for this place! They have so much potential! read more

came here two nights straight and both days they closed already. It clearly says closes 11:30 but it was only 1050ish11. Very disappointed! The staff was also just playing with her phone outside. read more

Came here with a craving for something sweet...not so subtle, right? Anyway, Jenn and I had milkshakes which were great, along with a delicious brownie and an okay cookie. Although the cookie wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be, I'm not gonna knock off a star for it. I just wish it was a little warmer and more moist. However, what was plenty warm were the two employees. They were so sweet and easy to talk to. Maybe being sweet comes in the job description for this place? Get it? No...? read more

This place is seriously awesome! Their cappuccino bubble tea is my absolute favorite and it is to die for! I wish they had a bigger variety of dessert but overall great customer service and ice team flavors! read more

Something Sweet - Yummy! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Disgusting service . DO NOT ORDER TARO !!! It taste like straight powder. i ordered a taro milk tea and it was nasty so i asked for something else and they told me i have to pay for another drink and i was confused as to why i have to pay for another drink if the drink i ordered was terrible. So she made me another Taro drink and it was even more disgusting. She gave me and my friends horrible attitude as well. Do not recommend this spot !! read more

This is a review of the bubble tea only. I didn't try the shaved iced, though it looked yummy. Cute little shop that specializes in frozen desserts. I had the Almond Bubble Tea and it was delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness without overloading it. My friend had the Red Bean and unfortunately it was not good. I've yet to find a good Red Bean in NYC, so I'm not holding it against this place. But I tried hers and it tasted like grass. I'd stick with the traditional flavors like Taro or Almond here. There was comfortable seating and we weren't rushed. Nice to see these kinds of places popping up in Staten Island. read more

Chinatown right in the middle of SI, the owner is a very nice guy who makes some really good bubble tea and shaved ice! Everything tastes fresh and since it is summer I will be making many more trips here. read more

This place used to be Sedutto's and I never used to come in. Now I have a punch card I like it so much. The ice cream and unique toppings are great, but what I really come in for is the bubble tea! The staff is really nice and they always make it how I like it, which is a little less sweet. read more

Like, the only legitimate place to get bubble tea on Staten Island! I stick with the honey green tea (extra boba) and I'm never disappointed! It's also nice that they're open a bit late even in the winter! read more

Great service, friendly staff, and delicious menu options! Green Tea Vanilla (bubble tea) is my favorite! My only critique is that the noise level in there is very loud (due to the machines and music playing), but I don't think that can be helped? read more

Wonderful place for a nice treat of sweet drink or dessert, huge selection of flavors for icecream, boba and macaroons read more

LOVE this place so much. Obsessed with how yummy their bubble teas are & the tapioca balls are always fresh unlike some places where the tapioca is hard & has an unpleasant texture to it. I recently just moved a lot closer to here so I'm just so happy I don't have to drive out to Brooklyn anymore to get my bubble tea fix! read more

I wish I could give this zero stars. I went to the store and I wasn't gonna write a review but then I saw a sign that said to "leave a sweet messages". Let me tell you I have nothing sweet to say. I bought 3 drinks for almost $20. One tasted like nail polish remover. Definitely radio active. They gave me honey dew instead of Nutella and when I confronted them about it. They got mad at me and accused me of lying, which wasn't the case cause I had the receipt. I have one word for both quality and serves of this place, disgusting. read more

Wonderful place for a quick bubble tea. Teas are well made and nicely infused. Delicious flavors with their homemade ice creams. Great place for mom and kids. read more

The best thing about this place is that they have asian desserts. I no longer have to go to brooklyn to go get asian flavored ice cream or shredded ices. However their bubble tea on the other hand, being that I am asian, and I KNOW what good bubble tea tastes like - this is reall mediocre (did i spell that right?). Despite that I didn't like their bubble tea, I loved everything else. The ice cream is good, its open late, their shredded ice is reasonably priced and yummy. Dont get the mochi though - they are small and weird tasting. Red bean topping is great!! Overall ima fan and come back whenever I am craving something sweet hehe. read more

Probably the only ice cream shop on the island I know that makes Asian flavors! That in itself makes it worth the trip. The ice creams here are all pretty good but some are better than others. The taro is AMAZING! It tastes just like how it would in bubble tea. I definitely recommend. Some other flavors I enjoyed were milk tea, hazelnut (which kind of tastes like a tangier milk tea), and the mint chocolate chip. The flavors I would say I've had better elsewhere are the lychee, green tea, and sesame. Overall, this shop has a great atmosphere and is a very cute spot to hang out with friends . I busted in half an hour before closing on a weekday and there were still a lot of high schoolers hanging out in there so I imagine it is very busy in the daytime. The shop also offers bubble tea and a variety of cute cakes and French macarons. Overall, great experience , would come again to sample some other flavors! read more

Let me start by saying I didn't have the bubble tea. I think it's important to note as most of the higher-starred reviews do mention the tea. I just can't bring myself to drink that stuff. We came in after dining at a restaurant on New Dorp Lane, excited for homemade ice cream. The place was pretty quiet and the staff person behind the counter quickly asked us if we were ready. We barely had a chance to look at all the flavors. Then she asked again. If she appeared as though she was going to follow up with questions about what types of flavors we were seeking or information about what they had available, maybe I could see it, but the demeanor was very nonchalant and uninformative. I wouldn't say she was impatient with us, just mindlessly asking us if we were ready. We tried the chocolate peanut butter ice cream which had more of an "ices" consistency. It was good enough but nothing for which I would come back. We also tried the salted caramel gelato which was extremely, extremely sweet. I would say that's to be expected of this type of flavor, but it was not to my tastes. For those with a sweeter tooth, this flavor might have total appeal. Overall, just a mediocre experience. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I was with a friend who wanted to try it, I'd give it another shot (which could possibly be an opportunity for me to bump up my rating). read more

They have excellent ice cream and their ice cream cake design is one of the best on the island. I ordered multiple ice cream cake here for my kids birthday and they always exceeded my expectation. read more

Yummmyyyy and original flavors right in Staten Island. Good alternative to the usual Carvel and Baskin Robbins options. Try their cookies and cream milkshake. It's exceptionally creamy and full of flavor! read more

I don't know about other flavored ice cream, but their pistachio flavor tastes like yucky play doe, nothing to do with pistachios at all! Just sugar and nasty flavoring. And the nuts they put on top were rancid. Overpriced and inedible. I wish they made a gelato place in New Dorp. One can dream... read more

5 stars aren't enough to explain how much love this place! Have been coming here for years. I adore this place & the owners, Frank & Nicole. It is my go to spot for bubble tea & ice cream. Always very clean & has an adorable, welcoming atmosphere. They have a very wide variety of flavors in both their bubble teas & ice cream. They allow you to combine 2 flavors in bubble tea which most places don't do & are always working hard to expand their menu. Great people running a great place & I very highly recommend it. read more

Cute little dessert shop in New Dorp! Great place to go for ice cream after a dinner date. Adorable cakes for special occasions as well. To start off with my favorite: I love the diverse selection of housemade icecreams! Every flavor is creamy but not overly rich, sweet but just enough. I especially love the "exotic" flavors that can only typically be found in a Chinatown ice cream shop. Green tea and taro are my standbys, and coconut, mango and peach are yummy options as well. But the bubble tea is far too sweet, for my taste. Every flavor that I've tried, from green tea to taro to regular milk tea, is cloying after a few sips. Sad, because the bubbles are a nice chewy texture, and I was really looking forward to enjoying a bubble tea spot outside of Chinatown/Brooklyn. Parking can be found on the residential streets. read more
