    41. Black Glutinous Rice in Coconut Juice with Mango
    Jessica L.

    We went here, instead of bars, after outsidelands! It was a great non alcoholic way to sit out the traffic to get home. The mangoes were so sweet and the sorbet is refreshing. With black rice at the bottom, it honestly felt like a pretty light, healthy dessert. My husband and I shared, but I could see how this one portion is also just good for one. The staff work really quickly to get your order, make your food, and get your check. This was a great stop for dessert!

    A12. Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich
    Maria S.

    We had a big dinner but left just enough room for dessert. A friend said this was or next stop and boy am I happy they shared it. I had a simple waffle ice cream sandwich. The waffle was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The vanilla ice cream was not crappy store bought. This was delicious and they were open late.

    Sago in mango and coconut milk

    It's solid for what it is, located near other restaurants so easy to pop over for a quick dessert. Cash and venmo only! Street parking around, service was fine. A few large tables and good seating. Was pretty quiet when we came, I did appreciate all the mango and hk style desserts! My drink was regular, pretty much what I expected. Wouldn't come out of my way to come here but it's good if you're in the area and craving some Asian mango desserts!

    510. Mixed Sauces Rice Crepe
    Claudia M.

    Tried Sweet Mango Dessert & Cafe in the Richmond and it was such a nice little spot. We ordered the mango sago, bird's nest with coconut milk, and a crepe with Nutella, vanilla ice cream, mango, and strawberry. Everything was really tasty, especially if you're into lighter, refreshing desserts. The vibe inside also stood out to me. It has that classic Chinese dessert shop feel that just feels really homey and comforting. Overall a great place to sit down and have dessert after a meal nearby. Would definitely come back when I'm craving something sweet.

    23. Mango Sago and Pomelo
    Ryan R.

    My friends and I came here for dessert after eating lunch nearby. There were plenty of tables, and it wasn't too busy. The noise level was moderate, and there wasn't much decor on the walls. "Wood panel" wall with a large banner that's bubbling. We ordered black sesame paste with glutinous rice balls and mango pomelo sago--both were yummy. They only take cash or Venmo. The server was reserved and didn't welcome us when we got there; when my friend went to pay, the guy just handed him the receipt while watching a video on his phone.

    A10. Eggette
    Anh T.

    This place was quite crowded on weekend evening near the Lunar New Year date. My friend and I tried a few of their dessert items. Eggette: Light, crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. This was more on the expensive side for the amount that was given, but it was a filling dessert. Glutinous Rice Ball with Crushed Peanuts: I loved the texture and how chewy and nutty it was, with a satisfying crunch from the peanuts. Sesame Paste with Glutinous Rice Balls: This was rich, smooth, and comforting, which was a perfectly balancing sweetness with the deep, nutty flavor of sesame. A cozy spot for traditional Asian desserts!

    3pc Mango Mochi
    Greg G.

    Aw man - so I returned here bc I just really like mango mochi - and my last visit was pretty good even if the mochis are on the pricy side. I... almost wanna say the price is even higher but can't confirm so I just got a pack of 3 pieces for $6.25 + tax. Upon driving home, I figured I should have gotten more since I usually give some away and having only 3, that pretty much means I only have one for myself (lol). That's okay thoughhhh- I like to share haha. The sad part was, the mango mochi was just okay. The mochi was fine, the mango inside was a little underripe-tart, and the filling didn't hit the same. And yeah, they're really small so it feels bad to go so far and have such a small bite for $2 a piece. I still gave them away (with a heads-up heh) bc sometimes, it's the thought that counts more right? But yeah, I may have to venture on another quest to find some succulent mango mochis.

    43. Mango and Sago in Mango Juice
    Bill P.

    Came here around 8 on a Saturday and there was no one else inside. Decent place but there are better dessert spots in the area. Lots of tables for dine in. There was a tree for Christmas time and music playing in the background. Service was lacking- the worker takes your order and it was hard to get their attention to pay. Cash only Mango sago with coconut milk: sago was sticking together, hard and can get this drink at another place Mango and sago with mango juice: fresh mangos, but again the sago was lacking Glutinous balls: hot dessert with crunchy peanuts on top, soft and not too sweet. pushed this place to 4 stars.

    Great dessert spot and I appreciate that it stays open until late into the night. The pictures are a bit deceiving though. We ordered the taro, red bean, mochi with coconut milk dessert, which looked really big in the picture but it ended up being a small bowl, which didn't seem worth it to me considering the price point. The fruit toast castle however was really tasty. The toast was perfectly crispy while still being soft on the inside. The menu is expansive and the desserts come out pretty timely. I love the variety of Hong Kong desserts they have. There is ample seating and I can't anticipate this place having a wait. This place however is cash or Venmo only!

    Exploding with fire Tofu

    If he doesn't pay for your dinner and dessert, let that SWEET MAN-GO!! I've had Sweet Mango a few times, and I'd say this is a solid dessert café that stays open late. This location is nice because there's easy parking, plenty of open seating, and they serve savory snacks too if you don't have a sweet tooth. My first time trying Sweet Mango was through a delivery order. The delivery wasn't too far -- it's located right across from Chinatown. I ordered the Mango Sago, Bubble Waffles, and a drink (I can't remember which one). The Mango Sago was great -- it came in a decent-sized to-go container, and they didn't skimp out on anything. The mangoes were perfectly ripe, fragrant, and soft. The sago mixed in so well, adding an interesting texture. What I love about these fruit sago desserts is that you can finish them without feeling guilty or bloated. Ordering the Bubble Waffles for delivery wasn't the best decision. By the time I got to them, they had completely cooled down, which made them chewy -- kind of like mochi waffles. Still good, but not the same. Dining in person makes a huge difference here because most of the food is best served fresh -- and that all comes down to one thing: temperature. No thermometers needed here, just trust me. The second time I tried Sweet Mango with my sweet man, we had the Strawberry Sago, which was disappointing. Yes, the strawberries were beautifully fresh and red without a blemish, but for some reason, strawberries tend to be hit or miss. Most that you find at local grocery stores are very acidic -- almost like tomatoes. They're not very juicy and are rather firm to bite into instead of melting in your mouth like ripe mangoes do. The Bubble Waffles tasted totally different hot and fresh. The outside is thin and crispy, and the inside is soft and light. The Bubble Waffles even taste sweeter when eaten right away, so that's what I recommend. The fried tofu comes out piping hot, and no matter how long I waited, every time I bit into a piece, the outside was light and crispy while the inside was soft and steaming hot. I had no patience to wait for them to cool down, so I ended up chugging my water while huffing and puffing from the heat inside. Overall, I enjoy snacking here, but I will let you know that for some reason, Venmo is the preferred way to close the tab -- and I don't really get why. So make sure your SWEET MAN is prepared with Venmo or cash.

    We stopped in after lunch as we were walking on Geary. I wanted a lighter dessert so we got the mango sago pomelo to try. The mango was fresh but not very sweet. The pomelo, sago and coconut ice were yummy. Overall solid dessert.

    Inexpensive Chinese dessert place on Geary. Cash or Venmo only. Inexpensive. Quiet location with ok service. Had the hot Ginger Black Sesame Ball soup (nice hot and gingery) and the cold Mango Pomelo Sago dessert (need more pomelo).

    #32 Durian Mochi
    Humza I.

    Hey munchkins how's it going? Tonight I went on a late night walk to a very fun late night cafe called Sweet Mango Dessert & Cafe, aka one of the inner Richmond's hidden gems. We got the popcorn chicken and durian mochi. The durian mochi was really good. I tried to eat it all in one bite but found myself needing to, as the kids say "savor the flavor". The popcorn chicken was really good. It was nice, crispy, and warm. The red powder on top was a nice touch as well. It was nice to see a cafe in San Frisco open late. It feels much more cozy and homey than what I'm typically used to here which is a very nice change of pace. If y'all want a cozy cafe with some marvelous mango this is the place to come!

    I'm so impressed with Palmetto Superfoods especially now that I've seen the set up…read more The freshness of the fruits and other ingredients like coconut, açaí, crunchy granola, chia seeds and peanut butter. You can choose from many ingredients and each bowl is assembled fresh to order. You order on an iPad which takes a minute to choose from all the possible ingredients, the size of the bowl or choose from a preset combination, pay and then wait for your bowl (or smoothie) to be assembled. My best advice is to order in advance because two people hustled with pick up orders, walk ins and online orders. I waited about 25 minutes after adding two custom bowls to the TGTG order that sent me in. Every surface of the small store was immaculate. I looked around and wondered how intense the set up each morning would be, dicing and slicing strawberries, kiwi, mango etc. Palmetto Superfoods is a complex operation and the bowls were (chef's kiss) delicious.

    This location used to be my favorite but it is going down hill…read more Our orders have been wrong several times (ingredients switched between bowls), they have the side room where you used to be able to sit entirely blocked off and no more benches in front due to construction. They are also often out of certain ingredients (today the coconut milk syrup, previously GF oatmeal, blueberries, etc). Today there was only one poor person working trying to keep up with a long string of orders. I have never seen the same person here twice, so I imagine there is a lot of turn over. The workers are always very nice but seem frazzled. There is no ambience, it's two chipped benches that used to be white, a do not enter sign and basically nowhere to sit and eat.

    I love açaí bowls, so when I saw that they had a happy hour sign (10am-2:30pm daily) for $12.99, I…read moredecided to stop by to grab one for lunch! This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by.

    I love Bowl'd Acai! I remember going to their food truck pre-pandemic by Salesforce Tower…read more Their acai bowls are fresh, high quality, and large portions. I find the Green Goliath to be pretty unique, as well as the Original Gangster. I love the light, airy, and plant-filled interior. They also have some good "happy hours" for cheaper poke bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, and bone broths. Service is kind, friendly, and efficient. I love this location in Nob Hill? Polk Gulch? Very bikeable, walkable, and bus-able.
