Sweet Hut has been around for a long time, and even with all the competition, it's nice that it's still around. Ofc with inflation, the pastry items have increased, but everything, especially their drinks, is still on the more affordable end compared to other places. It's prob one of the most affordable, actually.
Sadly, consistency is hard to keep up. Service isn't bad, but it really depends on time and day you go when you will get your order. Even then, some times things may fall through. I ordered a strawberry green tea with half sugar, less ice, grass jelly and lychee jelly toppings (the layers came out pretty) and the bulgogi cheese steak. My friends also ordered food and drinks. One friend asks me what side item I got, and I said fries. She was surprised bc she was told they ran out, so she ordered waffle fries instead (adding $1.50 to her meal). We both ordered at the same time, just with a different cashier. We both ended up with waffle fries, which weren't as good as their normal fries, but that's not the point. The food and drinks don't come out at the same time, not a huge problem, though the area to wait for orders is always lined with people. My order comes out relatively quick, maybe 25 minutes? The drinks and snacks for my friends come out ~5 minutes before or after mine, except for one friend. She waited for 40 minutes before going up and asking about her drink, and it turns out, they missed it. It takes 10-15 minutes before she gets her drink after that. I understand they're busy, we went during lunchtime after all, however, we've also come during the evening and at night... it may be a training issue or something, idk. That doesn't completely deter me from coming, but it does make me a bit sad.
- My drink was good, and I like that the toppings are free. The green tea here is bitter, so do not go less than half sugar if bitter isn't preferred. I've done less, and I can drink it, but if you only order the drink, it could be too much. The grass jelly tasted chemically... would prob have to try again since lychee jelly is consistent at every boba place, but it's possible they don't get good grass jelly. The boba is chewy though sometimes a bit too sticky and sticks to teeth.
- The bulgogi cheesesteak was good. It came out hot and has a sweetness that normal cheesesteak does not have due to bulgogi marinade. The fries are crisp and nice unlike the waffle fries, which were hard. I would not recommend getting waffle fries here.
- The savory snacks are hit or miss with amount they give, though generally taste good like the salt pepper chicken nuggets. The price point is debatably ok for these items.
-The baked goods run out and are replaced when they can. All these items are good as well.
This location is huge though and the plaza is popular with good food options and Teso Life for shopping, so parking is busy. The parking lot next to the ones used for this plaza is always empty but usually there's a spot somewhere further back. Inside of this Sweet Hut is nice just not always clean. It's a good place to study with lots of seating.
