    Coconut Juice with Taro and Peach Gum
    Claudia H.

    I've always passed by this sweethoney dessert shop and after years and years I finally tried it. I like that it's one of the few olaces in the bay area that's open past 9pm.... We definitely need more shops that open until at least midnight. I got the coconut milk taro and peach gum and it tasted just like what you expect from chinese desserts. I would want to try the vanilla frost next time since my friends really recommend it!

    Mango pancake
    Sho R.

    I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a quick snack. I was there for the jiggly pancake. Unfortunately they stopped making jiggly pancake altogether. So I went with a mango pancake and a mango pomelo sago with green tea ice cream. Both were good desserts. Probably I liked the mango pancake more. But I am still dissapointed, I didn't get the jiggly pancake.

    Mango pomelo sago and sesame almond
    Elton L.

    Great little HK style dessert place tucked away in a neighborhood strip mall. Fantastically made delicious desserts which are hand crafted with care. Mango pomelo sago was perfectly balanced and naturally sweet without any added sugar. The sesame almond was so smooth - one of the best I've had. Warm, friendly, and considerate service. Bright and cheerful space. Worth coming to!

    Not bad place for asian desserts as there is not too much around here. Ordered the wings, ginger tofu pudding and my friend ordered the sesame almond pudding. The wings were nice and hot with a kick of spicy. The ginger tofu was good but could of been warmer and more gingery. A bit loud but it was mostly the customers. And service was good and attentive.

    Mango sago (one with vanilla ice cream, one with grass jelly), vanilla frost with matcha ice cream and grass jelly
    Brianna H.

    The classic Asian desserts really hit the spot- my friends and I got mango sago with vanilla ice cream, mango sago with grass jelly, and vanilla frost with matcha ice cream and grass jelly. The mango sago was good but I've definitely had better- it was a pretty light and I'd prefer it to be a bit more sweet and flavorful. The grass jelly ones were really good though, so was the vanilla frost with matcha ice cream. My friends and I came in at around 9:45 pm, there were a decent amount of people still sitting. We were still served very quickly and the staff was very friendly! The space is very clean and bright, and definitely more of a casual place. Would recommend for the vanilla frost, the ice cream, and grass jelly!

    Sesame Soup with Sesame Rice Balls
    Bethany W.

    Paying $9 for this was painful haha (compared to what I'd pay in HK). The sesame soup was okay, could've been more sesame-y and the tang yuan seemed like it was straight from Ranch 99's frozen section next door haha. We waited for so long for some reason and inside was empty...It fulfilled a craving, but I won't be back again sadly.

    Many options at Sweet Honey and very tasty dessert that is not too sweet! Service is decently fast and ambience is quiet and spacious for good conversation and catching up with friends. Great place to try Hong Kong desserts but it may take a minute to see all of their options!

    Sesame and Walnut Soup
    Veronica L.

    Nice owner and friendly service. The coconut sago is not too sweet which is great. My niece enjoyed her coconut pudding with mango sago. My mom liked her sesame and walnut soup - it's hot so it takes longer to make. If you want them to come out at the same time I would order the hot items first. Clean and bright lighting.

    Mango Mango Pomelo Sago Tofu Pudding
    Ashley Y.

    The dessert was really good and I think it was pretty affordable. Overall service was decent too. The only thing was the pomelo was kinda tart.

    Mango Pamelo and Sago with green tea ice cream
    Sylvia K.

    Came here on a Saturday around 6:45pm. There were not too many ppl. Service was great. We took a while to decide and they were patient with us. Ambiance was good. Great for gathering with friends! I ordered the sesame soup with sesame rice ball! It was so good! My friends said their dessert were yummy as well! I wish we have something like this in the East bay!

    Classic Asian desserts reminiscent of my trips to Hong Kong sweet shops! Located in this spacious lot, you'll find the convenience of a grocery store but also niche eateries like Sweet Honey Dessert. Just blocks away from the lake, this is a fine place to come after a walk in the cool evening air to warm up your stomachs or cool down from a brisk walk in the sun. Upon entry, you'll be greeted with a well lit room full of tables and seats for medium to large parties. It's not a big place but they make good use of the space they have. They do only have a single bathroom but it's quite large and clean. If they're not busy fulfilling orders (the place can get packed during peak hours), one of the staff members will tend to you, and if you plan to order to go, you can do so straight from the register. Otherwise, they'll seat you with a couple of their menus (one for their desserts and one for their drinks and snacks). Once seated, you may need a bit of time to peruse their extensive menu. They have so many different desserts and drinks that you'll need to weigh your options or you may end up ordering too much! From cold drinks and tofu puddings to hot soups and custards, there will be something for everyone. I'd recommend ordering a little of everything and sharing with your party so you can get a taste of it all. We ultimately settled on a few items but we will definitely seek to come back to try the rest. We primarily came for dessert so we limited our options but they do also have salty snacks like chicken wings that looked scrumptious (the patrons at the table next to us ordered some and were chowing them down). Durian pancake - served cold with a green pancake skin on the outside and whipped cream and durian meat on the inside. Comes in two big pieces but we found cutting them in half made the taste last longer and allowed you to share. Mango tofu pudding - served cold encompassing silky tofu pudding topped with sweet mango juice and pulp. It was refreshing! Sesame and almond soup with sesame mochi balls - served hot and my personal favorite. Both soups had good texture and consistency and just the right amount of sweetness. The mochi balls were delicious and paired really well with the dessert. Definitely a shareable dish! Walnut and almond soup with sesame mochi balls - served hot and like the sesame/almond version, was delicious and well crafted. The walnut isn't as flavorful as others I've had but it was still good. Another one to share! We were much too full after our order to get anything else but we will be sure to come back. As it's so close to the highway/bridge, it'll be a nice pit stop next time we are in the peninsula. Also for those looking for some language immersion opportunities, the staff here speak Cantonese as well as Mandarin so you may have a chance to practice! What better way to practice than ordering food?! Overall, Sweet Honey Dessert definitely deserves more praise for commanding such a presence with its classic desserts. It's such a niche offering so when the craving hits for those Hong Kong and other Asian desserts, this is the place to go! Sure you may be able to make them yourself, but who has time for that and for just a taste, it's not worth the effort. With so many options to choose from, you'll be happy you came to Sweet Honey Dessert to get your sugar fix. Just be sure to bring some friends and family so you can all share!

    Mango Pomelo Sago Tofu Pudding
    Lon H.

    I've had Sweethoney Dessert years ago when they had a store in Dublin. It was my first time trying the one in Foster City. There was only one other table present when we arrived so our stuff came out rather quickly after ordering. The server was very friendly too. Since we were not really hungry, we just had snacks, a drink and a dessert. The snacks were not bad, but the Thai curry fish balls were too pricey. 8 small fish balls for $8 - $1 for one small fish ball was too much. I think $6 would have been more than enough, but guess we'd have to blame inflation. 5 wings for $10 was also expensive, but at least they were much bigger. Both were a little spicy, which I liked. The purple yam sago milk was okay. I liked that it was not very sweet, but it was a bit simple for me. That's okay since my wife ordered it. I really wanted the mango pomelo sago tofu pudding. The pomelo was tart and the tofu pudding silky. There was mango, but the flavor was weak. If it had better mango, then I would have completely satisfied with the item. This wasn't a meal, and it ended up at $37 pre-tip. Think it would have been $30 more to have a satisfying meal for two. I give 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 based on its fast food arrival and friendly service.

    Mango Sago
    James W.

    A traditional Taiwanese style dessert shop with some of the friendliest staff and the best desserts. I love ordering their mango sago which can be paired with ice cream and other toppings. They also serve decent milk tea, although coming for the desserts might be the better call. The space is well-lit with plenty of tables. Even if it appears full, most times, there's a line of people ordering to go.

    I'm not sure how it managed to happen, given how long they've been around and how many times I've…read moreeaten around 3rd Ave, but I had no idea Dessert Republic even existed, let alone been here. Presumably, never walking down their block of the Main St. alley had a lot to do with it, but who knows how much longer it would've taken if not for my friends suggesting we come here for dinner. Which is kind of ironic, considering the name of this place! While nothing about the outside of Dessert Republic really stands out, the decor inside is great. It may not be all that flashy nor have much of an IG aesthetic, but I like how it has a Hong Kong/Chinatown alley sort of look to it. As for the menu, true to their name, there's no shortage of desserts to choose from, whether it be hot desserts, like glutinous rice balls, sweet tofu, or egg pudding, cold desserts, like mixed fruits, sago, or ice cream sundaes, egg puffs, and crepes. In addition, they also have a bunch of regular food options, from snacks and dim sum items, to rice plates, noodle soups, and even lomo saltado. -- (#A03) POPCORN CHICKEN Not terrible, but not popcorn chicken either. Rather, this felt more like the salt & pepper porkchop dishes I've had in the past - the batter was thick, the chicken was unmarinated, it was seasoned with just salt and pepper, and it was topped with cut peppers instead of crispy basil. -- (#S01) BRAISED BRISKET & WONTON NOODLE SOUP Overall, this was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the bowl was decently loaded, the wontons were plump, and it had chunks of beef tendon, which were tender. On the other, while the noodles were fine, the veggies were way overcooked and the beef was chewy. -- (#M08) SUPER STRAWBERRY - Strawberry Freeze, Aloe Jelly, and Strawberries Topped with Strawberry Ice Cream Undoubtedly, this had a lot of strawberry flavor to it. Even though the strawberry freeze didn't do a ton for me, especially as it melted, I liked how well the aloe jelly, strawberries, and ice cream complemented each other. As far as service goes, I've seen some folks mention running into issues, but I've actually found it to be entirely unremarkable, for better or worse. Each time I've been here, the workers haven't really gone beyond the basics (take orders, bring out dishes, take care of checks, etc.), but I never really expect anything more than that either. Still, they do seem to be relatively friendly and get orders out decently fast, which certainly counts for something. Since I've clearly only had a small handful of what their menu has to offer, there's the distinct possibility (probability?) that I haven't had the best of what Dessert Republic has to offer. However, based on what I've ordered and my friends' egg puffs and sweet tofu that I've tried (both were fine), the desserts here definitely seem to be the safer bet overall. Which is handy since they stay open so late, especially on Friday and Saturday nights (until 1am).

The shop is small and has minimal seating but is more of a takeout spot. I ordered ahead on the Teaspoon app on a weekday after dinner and was quoted a 25 minute wait. When I arrived the shop close to the promised time it was completely empty and a single worker was moving in the kitchen area without watching the front. After a few minutes, the worker still didn't come out and there was no bell at the counter to ask for assistance so I yelled out a few times and he still didn't come out. He finally came out a couple minutes later and didn't acknowledge me until I said "excuse me" for the third time, only to tell me my drink was not ready yet. He then started making my drink and I got it five minutes later. I ordered the seasonal Summer Stardust which is said to be a cotton candy-inspired smoothie with coconut, vanilla, and blue raspberry, blended with strawberry foam and Cosmic Burst topping. The ads for this drink were appealing with its unique bright blue and pink combination but my drink was a dull pink and white. I asked if the drink provided to me was the Summer Stardust because I didn't see any blue and the worker said yes and that "syrups make different shades of blue" in a snappy tone. The drink itself was okay and did somewhat resemble cotton candy but mostly tasted like sugar and the Cosmic Burst topping reminded me of pop rocks candy. I haven't shopped from this Teaspoon location for a while but I didn't expect its customer service to be this bad. The drink itself was also not memorable and overall the menu prices are higher than many of its competitors nearby. After this experience I know I will not be returning.
