You can’t go wrong with a box of Sugoi bonbons!
IThe presentation of the bonbons lived up to the taste. We got the four pack with guava cheesecake, hojicha puff rice, panda coconut and Mexican hot chocolate. All of them tasted great.
We are definetly coming back for more. I am also eager to try their other chocolate selections.
i enter the small shop and wasn’t even greeted which i thought was a bit odd. while some girls were talking to the cashier, i decided to walk around and take a look at their matcha and their decor. i think their matcha powder is insanely overpriced for just a small bag.
was trying to ask the cashier more questions about the matcha — if they do any type of cold foam on top and just trying to get a better description of what i should expect from the matcha latte. i could tell the girl was getting quite flustered? for lack of a better word. and she just kept saying “i’m not sure”. so i just told her it’s fine and ordered a reg strawberry matcha with oatmilk.
now the matcha itself — is where the 2 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ come in. as you guys can see in the first picture there was barely any matcha powder in my drink. maybe 15% matcha and 45-50% milk with only a drizzle of strawberry puree syrup is what it seemed like. the matcha was BARELY strong and i could barely taste it. was super watery as well. i really enjoy a very earthy and strong taste in my matcha but still like a little bit of balanced sweetness. i feel like i didn’t get any of that and i was left so disappointed. toward the last sip of my drink it became so increasingly bitter that i legit coughed so hard because it went down the wrong way. never has that happened to me before while drinking matcha.
now maybe this place isn’t just the place for matcha latte’s and that’s understandable. i would like to come back to try their actual deserts and matcha soft serve but for now, i will gladly try other cafes for their matcha and come back to this one at another time.
Whenever I’m in the mood for a specialty sweet treat, Sugoi Sweets pops into mind first. It’s a great spot to grab a gift for friends and family as well. Service is always top notch.
I wish they were open during the week, but I understand that crafting all their delicious treats take a lot of time and effort, so I’ll look forward to the weekends instead
Yes, can get a little expensive depending on what you purchase. But I believe it’s priced fairly when you consider the unique sweets you are getting.
Then you take a bite, waiting for some otherworldly flavor (based on the price and reviews) and it’s just… meh. I got the sea salt caramel which tasted like plain caramel. My wife got the Mexican hot chocolate and said the heat was barely there. I’d prefer to pay a premium for great taste over aesthetics 100% of the time.
It’s our fault though because we walked in and the person at the counter just looked at us. No greeting, no “let me know if you have any questions”, no service. We were going to walk out but, admittedly, the pretty colors held our attention long enough to just say “screw it” and overpay for some average chocolate. So that’s on us.
