Sweet Moment — Restaurant in San Mateo

I had this place saved in my collections and finally got to try it out. It is really bright and pretty big inside. They have a cute wall with fake grass too to take pictures with. The place is big, but most of it is taken up by the register/kitchen. The fruit is displayed next to the register and they also cut it in front of you. The fruit looked really fresh!!

We ordered the snowflake cup with mixed fruit. It came out in like 5 minutes, so they were really fast! So much faster than Meet Fresh. I really liked that the fruit was fresh. The dessert looked a little small, but was actually was perfect to split between 2 people. The shaved ice was perfectly sweet too.

I would definitely come back again and try their other desserts. They have a lot of more traditional asian desserts, like sesame and mochi, that I would want to try also. The waffle and egg puffs also...

Sweet moment is some of the best desert I've had. First of all, I LOVE their snowflake series and egg puff. Everything there is so amazing, and everything comes so quickly. Like the name says, it's sweet, and wonderful. The drinks are also so good, and I love the handmade momoko ball and grass jelly toppings. Something else so good about it is that there are so many other good places around it, which means you can get a good lunch and then come right to it. There is also a movie theatre, (Cinemark), quite close to it. It is a little far from my house, but it's definitely worth coming. It fills me up all the time, and is totally my type of desert. At the time of this review there is a little leak in the roof, but that's fine and they've got that under control. There is no doubt that this is one of my favorite places, and it deserves more...

This place is super busy and packed and I can see why!

Good: The snowflake bowl was really unique! I liked the shaved ice and the ice cream and option to put on 2 toppings - I got the taro ice cream and the mochi balls which were tasty.

Bad: The snowflake bowl ended up coming in a cup though I asked for a bowl? So I wasn't sure if my order was just converted to a cup instead of a bowl. Overall I think that the ice cream didn't have a lot of flavor so it was a lot of ice in the end.

My food took a while to come out and there wasn't a lot of seating so we had to wait outside and it probably took 15 min or so?

I thought that the creme brulee was a bit too sugary for me.

Overall might want to do takeout next time to...
