SweetU Cafe & Catering — Restaurant in Redwood City

This little cafe is an amazing hidden gem in redwood shores with outdoor seating. The staff there is so friendly and welcoming too.

1)LUNCH: They offer yummy Asian items such as chicken katsu, japchae, and beef bibimbap -- I've tried all 3 and the food tastes really healthy, delicious and homemade.

2)AFTERNOON TEA: In the afternoons they recently started to offer AMAZING desserts, along with boba milk teas. I loved the passionfruit mango tea w/boba, and I've tried their strawberry & fig cake and their Oreo cake --they taste absolutely delicious.

2. CUSTOM CAKES: One of the owners is a pastry chef and makes custom-ordered cakes for special occasions. We ordered a birthday cake and we were really blown away by how beautiful, delicious and healthy it tasted! The cake was light, freshly made, not overly sweet -- this is coming from a person who avoids cakes from the supermarket chains because it's all too overly sweet for me. And it was stuffed w/fresh fruits that were in season --blueberries, strawberries, mango, dragonfruit and more! PRO TIP: You'll probably need to visit the cafe in person and talk to the owner if you want to place an order! Sharing some additional photos of other cakes she's made for other clients, she's been getting a lot of orders for...

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love their cakes, drinks and foods! Unfortunately, there was this one incident that made me become very cautious every time I ordered here. I ordered a Chicken-Katsu (sorry if I spelt that wrong) with rice. And when I got it to go and left to my house I discovered (WHILST EATING) that the chicken was bare raw in the middle! I was completely shocked and utterly appalled. Other than that incident every time I have ordered from this place I have gotten excellent results. I’d like to specially say that their popcorn chicken is divine and out of this world good! Their cakes are beautiful and taste wonderful, I’ve even ordered some for birthday parties! The cake is such a soft mouth full and their frosting is sweetly perfect giving so much flavor to the cake. Their decorations are on a different level, in a positive light you can see their dedication and love they put...

Got an ube boba milk tea here! Ube is not yet a very commonly available flavor for boba so it's great that they are offering it. The ube flavor was good although I think it was made with green jasmine tea because I could taste something floral. Next time I will try to request it to be made with black tea since I prefer that. 😁 I have since also tried their bibimbap (pretty good, ample heat but needs more complex spices in the gochujang sauce, I think), the cheesecake (very light, not too sweet, but has a very strong cheese flavor, more than most American cheesecakes), and the strawberry mousse cake (also very light, not too sweet, and just delicious). I have also tried the Okinawa boba (which is tea-free, and therefore caffeine-free!) and it was great for a late...
