We ate here several times on a recent trip to Bethesda. Every meal was delicious, fresh and in a comfortable atmosphere. We'll return in the fall and look forward to enjoying a meal (or two) here again! read more

Sweeteria opened a new location in my neighborhood. This id my second time popping in and my first dining in. The first thing I noticed was the playlist. There weren't many people in the establishment on a Saturday around 5 pm. Although I dined in, I ordered at the counter and it was brought to my table. The staff weren't welcoming, but they weren't rude. They could use a lesson on first impressions. I ordered the lavender matcha which was okay and the mango sticky rice. The mango was extremely fresh and the rice wasn't too sweet. I'd definitely order again and will try the food next time. read more

Before going to check out Bethesda Arts Festival, my parents and I visited Sweeteria for brunch. Overall had mixed feelings about the food, but I really loved the cafe atmosphere. The space has cozy cafe vibes and would honestly be a great place to work remotely, study, or casually catch up with friends. What I enjoyed: -Butterfly Pea Lemon Sparkling Drink - refreshing, light, and visually beautiful -Thai Iced Tea -Golden Spring Rolls -Coffee Cake - one of my favorite items from the visit The dishes that missed the mark for me: -Golden Fried Tofu - not what I expected. I was hoping for something lighter and crispier with more flavor and texture contrast -Teriyaki Chicken - unfortunately came out dry and overcooked, and I think it would really benefit from additional sauce -Kao Mun Gai - while the chicken skin and seasoned rice had good flavor, the chicken itself could use more seasoning. I also wish it came with a non-spicy ginger scallion sauce option instead I'd still come back for the drinks, pastries, and cafe environment. read more

This is a very well designed restaurant. It would be a great place for hosting something like a book club or hanging out casually with a group. You can order on a kiosk which makes paying very easy. The mango sticky rice and Thai tea I tried were pretty good, not great. I think they could work on making the food more flavorful or drop the price a bit. Overall, I do think this is a nice spot and there's not really another restaurant in Bethesda that has such an expansive hangout area that's well suited for larger friend groups. read more

I was really hoping to love this restaurant but mostly just liked it. The highlight of the evening was absolutely the pandan Thai cheesecake, which had a pancake-like consistently and a tangy cream cheese flavor. It was outrageous! The mango toast was fine, but the toast was just toasted bread and not like a French toast or anything special. The appetizers were okay: the wings were super expensive for the quality, and the egg rolls didn't wow me. read more

Advertised as a cafe though offers more than your typical baked goods. Spacious & beautifully decorated with fresh flowers. My friend and I ventured here for dinner after seeing a show at the Round House theatre. Lovely place to catch up; next time I'll come back to try the Wonton Noodle Soup. I loved the shrimp makaam, the shrimp was indeed crispy and came with a side of rice. My friend wanted to get the Matcha Cloud Coconut drink though they were all out of coconut water. Great portion sizes and welcoming staff. Well done! +Shrimp Makaam-crispy shrimp glaze with tangy tamarind sauce, garnished with fried shallots, broccoli, Thai chili, cilantro +Massamun Curry-2 tender chicken drumsticks in rich coconut, potatoes, peanuts & pineapple +Strawberry Matcha +Thai Tea read more

Sweeteria - Bakeries Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

This Silver Spring standout has expanded to Bethesda. It is a nice location near the metro, and a big space to eat in. The menu here includes not just the sweets for which they are known but a whole brunch menu. The vegetarian options aren't huge, but I was able to get some fried tofu to get me some protein in addition to my characteristically indulgent ice cream toast. And if you haven't had one of these things, you're missing out; the honey butter toast is a fantastic mix of sweet and savory and a beautiful presentation; mine had fresh mango slices arranged as a flower. This is the sort of thing that's hard to find done well in the U.S.; this is the rare occasion where I felt like I was having brunch at a top quality Australian cafe (I haven't been to Thailand). A rose matcha was a mild but mouthwatering way to wash things down. Furthermore, I indulged in the case of desserts to go and got some fantastic tropical fruit creations to give to others. This place even offers a small vegan and gluten free dessert selection. I try so many new places it's rare that I'm a regular at any one place, but I've been to the original Sweeteria several times and given that this one is bigger and better, I suspect I'll be back here before too long. read more

I went here with my friend in the rain after we ate ramen. This place is very friendly with the cutest drinks/desserts. The waiter helped pack the iced coffee I ToGo'd and handled my drinks with care. It's not too sweet and got the perfect coconut flavor. My friend got the Rose Matcha, and it had a mini flower on top. It wasn't overpowering the matcha. The interior is so cute, and very big. Their desserts look hand made and everything looks so clean! read more

Sweeteria - Coconut matcha - Bakeries Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Walking around Bethesda, we stopped at the Sweeteria for dessert and wound up sharing a Pinky Lychee (lychee flavored slushy) and a Mango Sticky Rice Loft Toast (fresh mango, homemade coconut sticky rice pudding, mung beans and mango cream). It was great - a huge plate with mango slices arranged like a rose atop a crunchy square of toast, and a scoop of ice cream along with sticky rice. The lychee slushy provided a nice crisp bite against the smoothness of the dessert. If you're looking for a great little spot for dessert, drop in to Sweeteria! read more

A soothing and cozy space a short walk from the Bethesda metro station, Sweeteria has an expansive menu and attention to detail I took note of. The strawberry matcha had fresh strawberry puree, distinct layers, and a delicious cream on top - more on the dessert side of matcha drinks, and delicious. I had a plain scrambled egg on buttered sourdough that was carefully folded and seasoned (easily the plainest dish on the menu, but still prepared with care). It's a relaxing place to study and service was prompt. read more

Sweeteria - Strawberry Matcha - Bakeries Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Lovely calm retreat in the middle of Bethesda - came here on a Friday night and there was plenty of comfortable seating. Everything was hot, extremely fresh, and prepared with care. The custard buns were a delight! Just the right amount of attentive service in the dining room too. There are seating options for large groups, couples, and singles - and an expansive bar area. Bathrooms were sparkling clean. Great for a date or a little treat! read more

Had a Pandan latte which I really enjoyed and had a perfect balance of flavor and sweetness. For food I got the Thai Tea Lava loft toast which is supposed to be like a French toast. I didn't enjoy the toast itself much as it was too crispy and dry. It wasn't soaked in a batter like a French toast is which is not to say that a Thai toast must taste like a French toast. But the toast was lacking in flavor because it wasn't soaked. The Thai tea came as a sauce on the side and had a nice flavor so I think the overall taste could have been enhanced if the toast was actually soaked in the tea lava. As for the ambiance, it's cute but not very cozy. My friend and I sat outside and even though the view is that of cars driving by on the road, it was a beautiful sunny day. I would like to give it a 4.5 but that's not an option so I'll go with 4 stars. Overall the experience was good but the food was a disappointment. I will definitely come back here for the Pandan latte and maybe try one of the bakery items. read more

Nice ambience, decent service, but......2 of us ordered one of the lunch specials, cashew nut chicken which came with rice and seasonal salad. Had to chop up the rice with a fork, and the "seasonal" salad consisted of only lettuce. Barely any cashew nuts. Overly salty. Not rushing to return even though we live within walking distance. read more

The lemon lavender cheesecake was good! The texture was great and the flavor was very subtle but nice: I got mainly lavender and not lemon but I don't mind. The Sarah's matcha was nice. It is a great size. The matcha is strong in a good way- they are not skimping. The flavor isn't super complex but it's a little deep. Enjoyable and easy to sip instead of gulping it down. read more

Went today with a friend for brunch. Very kind people working there who answered my many questions! Very beautifully presented food and very tasty! Nice interior too! read more

Super friendly and helpful staff. We wanted to change our order after using their takeout screen and they were very accommodating. The iced thai tea was incredible and only $5. The cake was yummy too. Despite the name, they serve dinner, lunch, and have a bar. It is a cool space go check it out! read more

Cute and fun place next to Lidl. Huge space, nice seating. Food was good. I had the salmon with Thai sweet chili sauce and got the riceberry instead of white rice for $3 more. Matcha latte had sweetened condensed milk in it which made it very yummy. Desserts looked great but I didn't try them. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely come back! read more

Sweeteria - Salmon with Thai sweet chili sauce and fried basil. Steamed broccoli and Riceberry and a matcha latte - Bakeries Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

A wonderful spot to grab a bite or work during the day! Delicious pastries, amazing matcha, quiet ambiance, and attentive staff. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This cute little spot was exactly what you want on a cold day. The space feels warm and inviting, and the service was absolutely outstanding. We tried a mix of savory and sweet dishes, starting with the roti canai and veggie spring rolls - both were incredibly delicious. For dessert, we finished with the mango loft toast, which was so good. Not overly sweet, with a really nice balance of flavors. To drink, we ordered a jasmine tea and a strawberry matcha. The tea was solid, but the strawberry matcha (modified without the syrup) really stood out - perfectly balanced and not too sweet, with great strawberry flavor from their house-made sauce. Overall, I'd absolutely come back to keep exploring the rest of the menu! read more

We loved this place and will definitely be back! The food is absolutely delicious and fresh, and service is kind and friendly. I also love that it is quiet, spacious, and has lovely decor. We got the mango sticky rice loft toast, which was to die for. The milk bread based toast was airy and filled with flavor. Their rotis are also delicious. We look forward to trying more of their savory options and baked goods next time! Love that Bethesda is getting more Asian cafes. read more
