    Came here for dessert. The place was open with unique flavors. The service was friendly and to the point. The ambiance is casual with music playing in the background. Would suggest for a sweet treat.

    Mango Bingsu - $15 as of July 2025, fluffy goodness.
    Scott L.

    I think they either remodeled the place and / or changed ownership. Went on a Sunday afternoon and the place looked different. They still serve Mango Bingsu although the price is now $15 for an order. Cheaper than most places while the ice is still fluffy and melts in your mouth. Fresh mango too! Best Mango Bingsu so far. Be aware that you have to pay for parking on Sundays... saw someone get a ticket as most cities don't require Sunday meter feeding.

    Great ice cream place when you don't want to travel all the way to Ghirardelli or the Mission to fight for a space just to get an ice cream cone. Plenty of fun flavors. They had some coconut rum flavor that was wow. In fact most of their flavors are wow. Including their Horchata. But, I got their Kauai Pie with coffee ice cream and macadamia nuts and fudge. Amazing! My coworker got the Thatch Roof sundae with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge with almonds. He enjoyed it, and was surprised that he hadn't been here before even though he works in San Bruno. Support your local ice cream shop! Oh yeah, and there's plenty of seating.

    Little gem tucked away in San Bruno. This spot has come in clutch when you're feeling like a sweet treat! They sell Lapperts ice cream which is always a plus IYKYK. Service is always great and has a super chill vibe to it! As you can tell from my pics, the mango bingsu is a favorite of mine and honestly it's A LOT better than some of the places that I've been to around the bay. Beat the summer heat with one of these!

    Ok this place is beast. Super awesome flavors and service. Good sized scoops and at a reasonable price. Not much else to say except the flavors I got, Princess Marzipan and Banana Coffee Chunk and they were both so awesome, I was tempted to get a flight to try everything! will be back

    Loved this place! Friendly staff and yummy ice cream. We got the flight which included 4 of your choice flavors. We got the princess cake, banana chocolate chip, lychee and Kona coffee. The princess cake was my favorite, it had huge chunks of yellow cake. The Kona coffee was on the bitter side. The banana chocolate chip tasted like actual frozen bananas. And the lychee was on the light flavor side. Overall super yummy and planning to come back!

    Mango Bingsu - so delicious!

    This was my first time trying sweet connections and was honestly amazed at the wide variety of original ice cream flavors as well as the broad range of desserts they offer. Ayed the owner, was so kind and patient and very passionate and knowledgeable about the flavors. He was very welcoming and very attentive to all the customers that come in and their needs. We tried the princess cake ice cream, Kona coffee, Manila Mango, Hawaiian sea salt ( my personal favorite) and the Kauai coffee crunch. I ended up getting 3 pints of ice cream because they were all very delicious and unique! They offer a lot of flavors that you would not see at other places. We also got the mango bingsu, which was very delicious as well! I would definitly come back to try the other desserts they offer!

    I stopped by here with my family on a weekend after hiking close by and I'm so glad we did! We tried a few flavors but our favorites were the Guava cheesecake and the mango sorbet. Absolutely loved these and would go back for them. They had a few other interesting flavors like macadamia nut and ube. The guy working there was really nice and the service was great! We took our ice cream to go but there was a ton of seating if you wanted to eat there.

    Always the best ice cream and fast friendly service. So sad to learn that the doors will shut for good on 4/6/2025. Stop by and enjoy a scoop or two before it's too late.

    This was my first time here,but it will not be my last! My husband and I went out to dinner for Valentine's Day , but we were too full to have dessert at the restaurant. On our drive back I started to crave a sweet treat and I recalled reading about this place when researching Korean desserts, so we headed over to sweet connections not knowing their hours, but hoping it would be opened. We arrive at 7:56 pm and rushed in and asked the lady at the entrance of she was still serving customers because it was closing time, she said "yes and I didn't realize that it was 8 pm", their closing time. Right there she earned the first stars for customer service!, the other two came with the taste of our Korean bingsu, exceptional treat and we are hooked. We will be back and will definitely recommend to everyone we know, they have icecream, milkshakes,smoothies and shaved ice too, so many treats to try. I am not sure how long they have been opened, but hope they remain providing this level of quality and great disservice for years to come.

    So for my birthday my little cousin wanted to give me a sweet gift and he brought me to sweet connections. this was my first time here and I loved it! it's such a cute ice cream shop with such good quality ice cream and great customer service . I'll definitely be back to try more :))

    Yum! We live just a few blocks away and had never been here because the hours are difficult to make…read morewith our jobs, but we finally made it! The menu consists of the typical Hawaiian fare - poke, loco moco, spam masubis, shaved ice, etc. we ordered a loco moco and the ahi tuna poke. FYI the poke is all market price only. The loco moco was honestly better than many I've tried in Hawaii. I like how the patty was seasoned and actually quite tender still! We didn't try the shaved ice but we definitely will next time.

They also serve hot food if you're looking for a bite to eat. Interior has some seating inside with a grocery store kind of feeling. No outdoor seating available. Parking is limited to street parking. A few notes: * Not everything in the store is labelled with prices * Hot food was pretty average in my opinion * Price vs value wasn't great in terms of quality of food Onto the hot food: * butter mochi - definitely the best thing we ordered here! Chewy buttery and soft in texture. Don't skip this. * garlic shrimp- this was recommended by the cashier but it was quite lacking in depth of flavor with the primary taste just being garlic. No spice, nothing special to stand out. After a while the sauce gets tiring. Mac salad was prominently peppery but bland in both texture and flavor. * Mochiko chicken - Not bad, crunchy battered chicken. Interior of the chicken was juicy but lacking in that distinct strong sweet savory that mochiko chicken is known for. Again, the mac salad was a letdown. Overall, the food was quite average especially for the price point. I can think of two places in SJ with better Hawaiian food for half the price.

Also, nothing is served with mac salad... The prices are pretty decent for SF. Maybe that's why this place is popular. They are takeout only and have one bench outside for you to eat at if it's free. Tried the garlic shrimp, the moco loco (idk why they swap the words), and the furikake chicken. Also had a spam musubi (when I ordered online for pick up, I couldn't add egg which is usually an option according to the Toast website). The garlic shrimp was missing a flavor that Hawaii has in their garlic shrimp. The color was very red but it was not spicy. They do have an option to make it spicy though. It was bland to me compared to what I'm used to when I visit Hawaii. The moco loco gravy was good, but the beef patty tasted dry and overcooked. They did have a runny egg too but it was oddly underneath the patties, so we broke the eggs while trying to split the beef amongst 3 people. The furikake chicken is probably better if you eat it right away since it's lightly breaded. We took it home so by the time we ate it, it was soggy. The sauce it is cooked in is a little sweet and wasn't too bad. The soggy chicken ruined the texture for me though. Each dish was served with a little bit of cabbage which I liked to get a little greens in the meals. The spam musubi didn't taste like it had any sauce, and they used so much furikake underneath the spam, that it made it taste fishy. Would not recommend. I can't comment on the service much since I ordered online for pickup. The guy who handed me my food after asking my name was nice and polite though. The only reason I'd come back is to try to the shave ice. The group in front of me got 3 for their kids, and it looked tasty. I would not come back for the food, but at least the prices aren't bad for SF standards.

To be honest, when I came here, I did not expect much. I typically am not the type to get snow or anything icy, since it is not the first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to dessert, but I am so glad I got to experience this.

The spot itself is pretty small, with not a lot of seating, but some limited spots outside. I got the black sesame with condensed milk, and my friend got the mexican hot chocolate. What makes this place stand out so much is the texture of the dessert, which was fluffy, soft, and melted in your mouth. Overall, I want to come here again and try the other flavors!

My favorite was still the cereal snow because I have more of a sweet tooth and the matcha and earl grey were less sweet. I would absolutely return to try more snow flavors! Service was really friendly and our 3 bowls were ready within a few minutes. Only one small bench inside and some outdoor seating.

Their expansive menu can feel slightly overwhelming at first glance, but it also means there's something for everyone. It's a fun little treat-yourself-spot to grab refreshments during a day of shopping. It indeed is, "like a reward". I had the chance to try the Dubai Chocolate Cup and the Dubai Chocolate Chewy Cookie.

Not everything on the menu is a must-order, but a few items really stood out. I loved the tanghulu--fresh fruit with that perfectly crunchy sugar shell, super satisfying and not overly sweet. The drinks were the highlight for me too. The Blue Lagoon was refreshing and fun, and the Guava Lychee Refresher was light, fruity, and honestly the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Tried the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry cup since it looked tempting but I would skip it next time. It definitely feels like more of a novelty dessert spot, and I can see how some items might be hit or miss depending on what you order, but if you stick to the tanghulu and drinks, it's worth the stop. I'd keep coming back for those alone.

For sure there will be a next time! 5/5 There are tables for those who would like to relax and have a seat while drinking their drinks. I sat down for about 5 minutes and my order was ready! Quick service! Looking over the menu, you can customize your drink and make all kinds of concoctions! Or you can pick a specialty drink with already set items. Either way, you can't go wrong! Haha I guess I've been missing out all these years. Can't wait to go back and try another drink at Coco3!
