I have been eyeing this place since I found it on Yelp. I finally got to visit it in person myself. The place is clean and spacious. I came here twice since I wanted to try more of their items before leaving a review. My favorite items are probably the Tako. It has a slightly sweet coconut filling on top with pandan tapioca at the bottom. It's not overly sweet. I also enjoyed the pandan coconut jelly drink. It's not too sweet even though I had the original sweetness. The only thing I would complain if the portion is a bit small. The piak poon looks similar to the Tako but it's pandan layer at the bottom. It's also on the sweeter side. One of the staff also recommend the other dessert with small semi circles of coconut filling in it. It tasted alright. read more

Located in the same plaza as Haven City market - West Covina. I got their pang jee ($8) -mini banana pancakes, gluay kaek ($9)- fried banana, and khanom buang ($8)-mini crispy savory crepes. I came here after seeing online that they sold khanom buang which is hard to find unless you're in Little Thailand in Hollywood. Large area with a good amount of seating. They also sell various drinks and their Thai dessert menu is a good size. The staff is nice and the place is clean. read more

Ambiance - The place feels open and spacious. There's not much seating as they leave a part of the place for a little "snack market" area. It's very clean and really nothing to complain about. Can be hard to find parking because this plaza is crowded. Service - Sweet and friendly. They will explain the desserts to you and give you recommendations if you don't know what to try. It felt slow so I felt bad for my mom who was waiting in the car but the items I ordered are all made once you order so the wait can be long. Food/Drink - Khanom Krok: Unfortunately does not beat out Mae Ting's down in LA. Those ones are amazing and this one just didn't stand up well. They're okay but I highly suggest putting in the effort to drive because Mae Ting's khanom krok are crisp and creamy and so addictive! Khanom Buang: I've never tried these and I'm happy I finally got to! However, it was a lot sweeter than I initially thought. The little shreds have some kind of herby hint to it that was nice but the white cream is incredibly cloying. Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie: Refreshing! Hard to make an awful smoothie, in my opinion. Tasted nice and just the right amount of sweetness. I'd go back, on my own, just to get a chance to try the custards and puddings they have! Just wouldn't personally order the stuff I ordered this time but would love to try other stuff out. read more

Sweet Bee - Desserts Near Me - West Covina, California

This plaza is popping now with the influx of businesses, already popular community staples like BMC and the grocery store, and of course Haven City Market. I believe several boba places used to exist in this place, so I'm hoping that Sweet Bee stays and does well since it truly is a pretty unique dessert place. Lots of imported Thai sweets and snacks and at times, I believe that they also have imported durian in the fridge in front, but this was sold out when I visited. Very spacious, relaxed, and clean space. Lots of big booth seating if you're ever there with lots of friends or family since it makes it easy to share some sweets together. The lady working there was super sweet and friendly and carried out or order to us while we were waiting for to go. She also offered her recommendations on what's popular, what's new and much more. There are lots of things that are out of stock too, either out of season or truly sold out (I can imagine with how unique a lot of the dishes are). For our visit, we got the: 1) Thai Pandan Jelly Noodles in Coconut Milk: -I got this in large size and it was more than enough to share between 4 adults. -The milk thins out the thickness of the coconut milk, but still very sweet and flavorful. The jelly noodles are super long so make sure not to choke and to chew thoroughly. Can get a bit tricky to suck it through the straw regardless. Not bad and reminds me of a drink version of a Vietnamese dessert. Definitely decadent and more of a dessert drink than anything. 2) Khanom Buang: -Thai crispy pancakes. A MUST get here. -I got the small size which was still very generous. We got around 6 pancakes, I believe. -Crispy on first bite but with a nice slight chew to it. There's meringue cream in it, shredded coconut, and a little bit of a salty flavor to it with a citrus taste too. Interesting textures and tastes all mixed into one. This was a family favorite. 3) Woon Kati: -Coconut jelly shaped into cute flowers (sunflowers, daisies, etc.). Came in 6 pieces. -Eat as soon as possible or else you have to steam or heat it up again since it will be a bit harder. Another dessert that reminds me of a Vietnamese counterpart. Not bad. 4) Tako: -4 small cups of Thai pudding with coconut topping and some sweet corn kernels mixed int. -Thick coconut milk topping layer with the added texture of the sweet corn and the Thai pudding part is a sort of gelatinous rice tapioca like layer. Pretty good. This was my second favorite. It did get a bit pricy with all things stacked up, but It's hard to come by unique desserts like this. I'm not a durian person, but hopefully they'll have it in stock or durian desserts so I can have my parents try. I don't mind coming back here to try more of their desserts! read more

I have had Sweet Bee bookmarked for a while. The place has authentic Thai desserts. The place was very spacious. It was immaculate and organized with a welcoming environment. They have plenty of seating. They have drinks, various assortment of desserts, in addition to food menu. They also carry Thai products. I bought some goodies. Shoutout to Nancy. Nancy was very friendly and sweet. She gave us a sample to try. I ordered many desserts; -Gluay kaek 5/5 It's crispy banana fritters with shredded coconut and sesame seed. It was perfectly sweet and very flavorful. - Khao Niew Mamuang 5/5 I ordered it to go. She wrapped the rice separately as well as milk and mango.The mango sticky rice was the best I have ever tried. - khanom Tokyo 5/5 Thai Tokyo pancake. They have different flavors; pandan, custard, Thai tea and chocolate. I loved them all. - Piak Poon 5/5 Pandan sweet pudding. It was fragrant, silky, and creamy dessert. - Pandan in coconut milk 24 Oz 5/5 Thai pandan Jelly noodles in coconut milk. Sweet Bee is a hidden gem in West Covina. It's a must try place. Definitely I will be back. read more

We came by yesterday for some dessert after walking through Haven City Market. My fiancé had a craving for Mango Sticky Rice and we saw on yelp that this place had some. We came in and this restaurant is nice, clean, and welcoming. The service from the staff was great and super helpful. I can't remember the exact name of the dishes we had but I think it's called bingsu. She got the mango sticky rice version and I got the thai tea boba version. I am not going to lie it was pretty big and it was a lot of food. It was so refreshing and delicious. The coconut cream was salty and delicious but gave a perfect balance to cut the sweetness. It was so good. I can't wait to come back. read more

Will have to come back and try something else. read more

Sweet Bee is located just a few steps away from Haven City Market. My husband and I stopped by this past Wednesday evening to try them, as I had been wanting to try them since they first opened back in February. We walked in around 7:10 pm and had one party ahead of us. But it sound like the couple in front of us has never had Thai desserts before (as they had told the employee behind the counter that they have only had Thai food but had no idea that there such a thing as desserts). The employee gave them some suggestions on what to order (later on they had thanked the employee for the suggestions because they enjoyed the items they had ordered). Once it was our turn to order, we ended up choosing: Bua Loy (Glutinous Rice Balls in Coconut Milk), $6.75 prior to tax- I like that this dish was served warm and thought it would be good for the cold evening we had on the day I ordered it. But this dessert is pretty sweet so wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for something not too sweet. But I did like it. My husband wished it wasn't as sweet though. Khao Niew Sang Khaya (Coconut Custard Over Sweet Sticky Rice), $6 prior to tax- This dish also came nice and warm. My husband thought this dessert was also on the sweet side, but the other dessert was much sweeter. I liked the coconut custard and thought it paired well with the sweet sticky rice. ----------------------------------------- (Total= $13.99 after tax) When our items were ready, the employee who took our order brought it over to us. I was just expecting to pick it up from the counter, so that was nice that she did that. I initially wanted to order the kanom krok (Thai coconut pancakes) but the employee told me that they are only available on Wednesday... but I told her that today is Wednesday.... so not sure if she meant to say it is NOT available on Wednesdays instead? But anyway, wait time for our items was rather long, we waited 20 minutes for our items. There look to be only 2 employees working, one woman was sitting at a table distributing snacks into a bag and sealing them for sale and the other employee was the one working both the register and making the items ordered. Inside Sweet Bee is also a small market where you can purchase Thai snacks and other shelf stable desserts. Then the rest is just tables where you can sit and enjoy the items you purchased here. There is also a unisex restroom in the back, which was clean during our visit. I think Sweet Bee is a nice place to visit but I would still rather drive out to Los Angeles to Bhan Kanom Thai and Mae Ting's Coconut Cakes for some of the desserts that I am craving and long for. read more

Nice to have an actual Thai dessert spot, to save you a trip from driving in to Thai town Hollywood. There are just certain things you could never get anywhere else, like the woon kati, thong yoo, and khanom chan. Ovaltine based drinks are pretty damn Thai as it gets. Their tables have a lot of counter space, which makes it a pretty spacious meet-up spot with friends. What I would never order again though, is the kanom klok. It's like a coconut cream mini pancakes. Sometimes they say you can feel the emotions of a chef expressed through their dish. And what was served to me tasted like someone afflicted with depression and economic suicide. I've order kanom klok all over the place, around Bangkok, the Thai Temple in Hollywood, the occasional Thai street market or in Thai Town Hollywood. But I've never been so disappointed by something so devoid of taste, joy, and sweetness. read more

A new Thai dessert spot opened on 2/14. It is located outside the West Covina Haven City Market. Ordered: Khanom Chan - Thai layer cake- similar to Vietnamese dessert. It was perfect sweetness and it was good. Strawberry Banana Avocado Yogurt Smoothie and Lemon Honey drink. Both were refreshing drinks. Friendly staff. Ambiance is nice and very spacious. read more

I was very excited when I heard that this new Thai dessert place opened near me as I've been going to Thai town to get desserts. It's great that there is a soft opening special of bogo free drink, but went inside and saw that the pandan coconut milk drink is excluded so I didn't order any drinks as I didn't want any smoothies. Looked at the dessert menu and saw some items already went up in price. I decided to try the khanom buang Thai crispy pancakes. I got the size small for $8 which came with 8 pieces. I was told to wait a minute as the lady went to grab and pack it. I was hoping it'd be nice and hot, but I'd probably have to come in the morning for it? The place is pretty big .. quite a few tables and there's a snack section. Nothing really caught my eye though. Hopefully they can expand it soon and offer more choices. So I finally got to try this Thai crispy pancakes, and.... It wasn't what I expected. I can't quite pinpoint but I feel like it's an acquired taste. This is the first time trying it so it might just be me. I usually buy desserts from the Thai dessert place in Thai town, but I didn't get to try that one so I have nothing to compare to. Overall, this place is big, clean, and the lady was very nice. Hopefully there are more desserts to be added to the menu in the near future so I can come back. read more

So excited that we finally have a Thai dessert spot closer. I dont have to drive all the way to Thai Town or the temple. Sweet Bee is located the same plaza as Haven City. Employees are great! They recommended lot of great options but i only got to try 2 of their desserts. Tako - 5/5 Thai Puddle with Coconut and sago. Piak Poon - 3/5 Pandan Sweet Pudding. It was good but the pandan flavor was not that strong. I also bought a box of Thai crispy crepe. The employee did tell me that it tasted like crackers and it does! Next time I have to get the fresh crepe. Can't wait to try other desert options! read more

Been looking for a place to get Thai desserts for a while and found this place which recently opened. This place did not disappointment. We got the Thai coconut pancakes, Tokyo pancakes (Thai tea, custard, pandan, and chocolate), and Thai pudding with coconut topping. Everything tasted delicious. They are sweet but not overly sweet. I tend to eat less sweet than average so this will probably be just right for others. Service was good, the lady at the front was very helpful and provided recommendations. The desserts came out pretty fast. The store is spacious with plenty of tables and seats to come with family or friends. The store is located in a pretty busy plaza as Haven City Market so parking can be a bit difficult during the busy hours. I recommend this place and plan to come back to try their other desserts. read more

I had been waiting for this place to open up since I have very limited experience with Thai desserts outside of mango sticky rice. The inside is very clean and open. I was helped by a very nice lady and she gave us her recommendations--I'm glad she did! I got the avocado smoothie, the orange smoothie, khanom buang, and khanom chan. The avocado smoothie was sweetened by honey and tasted very fresh. The orange smoothie was very refreshing- slightly tart but still balanced. The khanom buang is my favorite- crunchy and surprisingly floral. I think the inside is shredded egg yolk and as someone who doesn't really like eggs, I was so pleasantly surprised by it. Delicious! The khanom chan is very reminiscent of Filipino Sapin Sapin. Very yummy. I highly recommend these desserts since they're unique in the area and not too sweet. read more

A clean and bright Thai dessert spot right outside Haven City Market. I chose to try this place instead of grabbing a drink inside the food hall. I ordered the Thai green tea, which was really good, not overly sweet, which I liked. Service was a bit slow, even though I was the only one in the store. Since I only ordered one drink, it took a little longer than expected, and there was some repeated asks on whether I wanted whipped cream. I'm interested in trying one of their desserts next time. read more

Friendly staff! It was our first time here and they gave us some pandan treats. We enjoyed it and it wasn't sweet at all. We will have to order it next time. As for this visit we ordered the mango yogurt and avocado. The avocado had fresh avocado, milk and honey, such a decadent drink and dessert all in one. The mango was good too but it didn't taste like a fresh mango. Will come back for the avocado read more

Specialty Thai dessert store? Yes please! No need to make the trek to Thaitown if you're craving some goodies. My bf and I visited Sweet Bee after having dinner at the nearby Haven. We've been waiting for a spot to open whenever we pass by it each time. The store is nicely light and they have a side section where you can buy snacks. The staff here are so nice! They were pretty patient with my boyfriend when he was looking at their drink menu. I opted for their plain khanon krok, but they recommended other desserts for me to try. They were transparent about it taking 20 mins to make and we didn't mind waiting. The khanon krok was fantastic. Not too sweet and has good coconut flavor. I ordered it plain, but I'm open to trying their mixed flavored next time. They gave me a free sample of their pandan layered jelly of and it was very good. It reminded me a little bit of banh da lon. Bf liked his smoothie too :) Can't wait to try their pang chee! read more

A nice little Thai dessert place with lots of delicious authentic Thai desserts. Lots of the items here are things most people have never had or heard of including myself, but that's what makes it so much more interesting to try out. They have drinks too and some really good ones too. I got to try the Mango Yogurt Smoothie and the Coconut Smoothie for the drinks. For my dessert I had tried Peuak Thod which is fried banana. The batter to it has a little sweetness almost like a beignet but the Thai version of it. I really enjoyed them all as it was different. I would have tried more but unfortunately I came in right as they were closing. There's a nice seating area inside and I wanted to take my time and enjoy everything while I was there. Along with desserts, they also make food and snacks. Definitely worth trying when in West Covina. read more

For their soft opening week they have BOGO any drink, so we ordered the avocado honey shake and my son wanted the Ovaltine. Most of their items were still unavailable, we were able to order the Khanom Buang, Khanom Tokyo, and fried bananas. The Khanom Buang is a thin and crispy crepe folded like a taco with sweet cream and cheese filling. The Khanom Tokyo are 4 pieces of rolled pancake with different flavor fillings- custard, pandan, chocolate, Thai tea. The best choice was the fried banana. They came out piping hot, crispy outside, soft and sweet bananas inside. The avocado honey shake was not too sweet the Ovaltine drink did not hit the spot. The shop was clean, with some packaged snacks lining up one side of the store. Service was friendly. read more

I didn't expect Thai desserts sold in the U.S. to taste exactly like they do in Thailand, but the desserts from this shop were honestly the worst I've ever had. I bought five different desserts to try. I don't mind paying premium prices if the quality is there, but not a single item was enjoyable. It wasn't just that they weren't delicious, but the flavor and texture of every dessert were extremely disappointing. Pang Jee didn't look anything like the picture in the menu at all, and the taste was even worse than the appearance, completely bland and flavorless. Unfortunately, the customer service didn't make up for the poor quality of the food either. The staff was very rude. The employee was talking on a cell phone while ringing up my order and trying to assist me at the same time, which felt very unprofessional. I came here because I genuinely wanted to support a new Thai-owned business and hopefully recommend it to others. Instead, I had a very disappointing experience. I don't think it's fair to stay silent and let other customers come in with the same expectations I had. This shop urgently needs to improve both the taste and the quality of its desserts. In my opinion, the products are simply not ready to be sold at the standard customers should expect. read more

First of all walking in the place is very nicely decorated, warmly lit. Very inviting with their fun old school hit playlist, that I could tell they take very seriously lol. The service was great. My waiter was a young handsome man. I forget his name I apologize. He was very kind and he let me sample the Horchata cold brew, but I ended up going with the Ube cold brew, which was actually really really good. The Ube flavor was there, but wasn't overbearing. The chilaquiles were really good. The salsa was very good, cery sweet tomatillos, the only thing I personally didn't care for was the runny egg however it was my fault for not asking them to cook it fully cause that's how I eat eggs. However, I know that The runny egg is kind of like a cultural thing. I definitely wanna come back and try their other stuff. read more

The presentation of each dish was beautiful and showed a lot of care. In terms of flavor, though, I felt some dishes were a little out of balance. A few leaned too heavily toward either saltiness or sweetness, rather than feeling harmonious. For the dishes featuring coconut cream and pandan, I was hoping those flavors and aromas would be more pronounced, as they felt quite subtle. Overall, the food was well executed visually, but I would have loved a more vibrant and balanced flavor profile. read more
