    23. Mango Sago and Pomelo
    Ryan R.

    My friends and I came here for dessert after eating lunch nearby. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were plenty of tables, and it wasn't too busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The noise level was moderate, and there wasn't much decor on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] "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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was quite crowded on weekend evening near the Lunar New Year date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A cozy spot for traditional Asian desserts![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here around 8 on a Saturday and there was no one else inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decent place but there are better dessert spots in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of tables for dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a tree for Christmas time and music playing in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    40. Glutinous Rice Balls in Mango Juice with Mango
    Connie L.

    Today being the last day of historical spring heat wave in SF, and with UberEats 40% off, Sweet Mango Dessert & Cafe is my must have. The egglette deluxe is the bomb, cold food but just the right amount of fruits and sweet, perfect to have a good lunch but not adding extra heat to the body. I ordered two of the rice balls, mango juice because it is that good and I want an extra for tomorrow to enjoy during a milder weather. I love the mangos here even though they are not most ripe. Eating healthy (less ripe with less fruit sugar) with less sweet is also important to me. Not shown here but I also like their black sesame & bird nest cold dessert! Their sandwich, Hong Kong style milk tea are both quite good as well. But given those are not their main features, they are what they are. :)

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is ample seating and I can't anticipate this place having a wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quiet location with ok service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If y'all want a cozy cafe with some marvelous mango this is the place to come![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    #40 glutinous rice ball in mango juice
    Bonnie N.

    Came here for a late night craving for something sweet and refreshing, and the glutinous rice ball in mango juice satisfied that. The glutinous rice balls were nice and chewy. The overall mango juice wasn't too sweet. There was also mango ice cream and real mango slices. Service was quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were only 2 staff members which was appropriate since it wasn't super crowded when I went.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's wifi available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Payment is by Venmo and the server gives a QR code to scan to pay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As others have mentioned, it's a no frills HK style dessert cafe. Like your neighborhood dessert shop, but it does the job to satisfy a quick craving.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    #27 Taro, Black Rice, Glutinous Rice Balls Coconut Red Beans Pudding
    Lisa X.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice HK style dessert cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once in a while, I really like to eat some dessert with sago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place opens a bit later than your average restaurant, so you can pop in and share some desserts while catching up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have juices, glutinous rice balls, Asian herbal desserts, fruit with sago, iced cream, etc. Only accepts Cash and Venmo. I think this is more like 3.5 stars, bumping up. Located on Geary between 16th and 17th Ave.

    Honey Toast Castle
    Tori A.

    The honey toast castle was SO good! We devoured the entire thing. They also had free, self-serve hot tea! The staff were kind and attentive. The menu is expansive and the food is competitively affordable. I'll definitely be returning to try the hot food!

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

The line went pretty fast on a Wednesday evening, but I can't imagine what it's like on a weekend. There's a bit of seating inside to enjoy your ice cream. They let you try three flavors, and I tried two, and both were so good I just decided on the spot. My first sample was the Salty Kaya. WOW. Heaven in my mouth. A burst of coconut and the saltiness that paired so well together. There's a reason this flavor has a permanent spot on the menu and isn't just a seasonal flavor! My second choice was the Funky Miso. I guess I love the sweet and savory combo. Also delicious! But not quite the flavor explosion in my mouth like the Salty Kaya. This one really grew on me after several spoonfuls of it. I really like that the single scoop allows you to get two flavors. How can I decide on just one when they have so many fun flavors?? I love this spot and will absolutely be returning.

There's usually a pretty long line but it moves fast so I've never felt like I was waiting too long. The staff is always friendly, and the whole experience is worth it.
