Amazingly cute drinks and mouth watering desserts. Presentation is definitely their strength, but it’s expensive for sure. You’re really paying for the novelty. But there is also ample seating inside. The wait is also short! I recommend for anybody who is around Chinatown!

We came here twice and ordered the super cute lattes here, one chocolate with cold brew and one Thai with a black tea bar. The art is as cute as the photos uploaded show, just perfect for Instagram. The drinks themselves were pretty good, but definitely on the sweet and very creamy side. I was hoping for something darker and more liquid-y but that’s on me for not ordering a normal coffee.The second time we came we ordered a regular cold brew and an ice latte which were fairly standard.There were always a lot of people in the cafe, but both times we didn’t have too much trouble finding seats since they had a lot.

The shaved ice is yummy. The sesame taste is completely drowned out by the other flavors though.The containers for the shaved ice should be larger to account for spill over. Its Instagram friendly but makes it very difficult to eat.The place has a lot of places to sit and enjoy.

Really nice and clean place.You can eat inside but they will check temperature and you will need to sign up on the special journal.The name said by itself - its great place for desserts and coffee as well as sandwiches.Its Korean cousin with some French inspiration.I will definitely come back!

The shaved ice was little bit bland for me. I like the afogato. Its super crowded on the weekends.

Sweet Moment has been on our bucket list for shaved ice for a while and we finally got a chance to try it. The decor is simple and cozy but the maintenance wasnt good due to the crowd.The staff was cool and not so friendly but serve everything quicky. When we did our orders, they told us we needed to wait for 20 mins for our Bingsu, but it took us only about 10 mins.Their Bingsu menu is various and most flavors look super appealing. We had Matcha Black Sesame Bingsu (Large, $16) which was a perfect combination for us, my husband loves Matcha and I love Sesame.The bingsu was so delicious, refreshing and creamy with great portion & plenty of ingredients. The balance of matcha & sesame is good and not too sweet.They also serve Korean boxed sandwich from Semicolon Cafe, which is one of our favorite cafes in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Very Instagramable coffee shop with a lot of very sweet drinks and desserts. They also have some food options but I haven’t tried those

Review №11

I loved how at first I was a bit obsessing over how one eye of the coffee art looked different and asked the barista to just make them both look the same (Because thats insta-worthy) but she made me a whole new one, that looked sooo cute I didnt wanna drink it.Taste wise: The Bulgogi sandwich was great, and looked exactly like the one on the menu. I took the coffee with chocolate creme and the combination was really good!

Came here for dessert and can say was not disappointed. Rustic yet modem atmosphere. We had the milk shaved ice (large) and it was a good portion. All flavors worked well

Wonderful place with lots of fun things to try. Recommend the Red Velvet milk tea latte and maybe a Nutella Banana waffle if youre up to the challenge (comes with brownies)

Review №14

Super cute space with even cuter milk tea art! We got the matcha and red velvet cream topping on top of our milk tea (and you can get coffee if you want instead). We stayed and sipped on our chilled tea while using the wifi to do some work on our laptop. Each cup was $5 and was about 6-8 oz of drink. Would recommend!

Randomly found this place as my friends and I were walking around Chinatown after lunch on Sunday. I really liked that there were pictures of the desserts to help you better understand which dish was what. I would recommend the Watermelon Bingsoo and the Melon Bingsoo! Both were refreshing and delicious.I thought the prices were a bit high for shaved ice, a scoop of ice cream and fruits—the Watermelon Bingsoo was a seasonal one (with a macaron!), was $19 for the regular size—and it wasn’t served in an actual watermelon like depicted in their menu picture.

We stumbled upon this place while going back to our parking near china town. Truly amazing. The staff is very friendly and they made sure to get our order on time even though a lot of people had come to pickup. We got the bingsoo milk Shaved Ice cream Macha flavor with strawberry. It was amazing. It was light and tasteful. They have a lot of options. must try place for good dessert.

A little small cafe and it was very delicious. Got a small matcha cheesecake bingsoo and it was really delicious. The matcha icecream plus the cheesecake with the ice really paired well with each other. Also got the matcha latte and the drawing was really cute. Also got Mango Ice-Ade in which they put real mangos in and was really tasty.

So I can here all the way from Scarsdale, their store says they close at 10pm but when I get to the place they said that theyre close..I got here 4mins pass 9:30pm and couldnt make an acception. Why label yourself open till 10pm. FLASE ADVERTISE MUCH. Change your time to 9:30pm. If you advertise that your open till 10pm customers will expect to be serve till 10pm. And the cashier says that they ran out of ingredients and that the kitchen is close at 9:30pm. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Change your time cause after I came other customers literally came in after expected to be serve. Honestly wasted a travel since I traveled far just to try them just to be disappointed. And the person that said they were close was so rude at saying it too like excuse me dont be rude ok.

I had a great time here at this cafe! The mango and cheesecake shaved ice were so delicious. Sweet Moment is a great place to come with friends, or even to study. Fantastic experience!

Review №23

I couldnt believe how good their coffee is! And my recommendation to try their food is the bulgogi sandwich, its so good! The staff was all very polite and attentive despite how much customers they were serving due to the bts event they had going on, but overall, quite impressive for a new try-out spot for me. Their cheesecake is soft, creamy, and good for the price being $4.50!

Review №24

This cafe is tucked away in the streets with steps leading down into the cafe. I ordered the Bulgogi Sandwich with no sauce and egg on the side. The egg was filled with corn and cheese. The bulgogi was heavily seasoned and paired extremely well with the veggies.For my drink, I ordered the yuzu ice ade. It tasted exactly like yuzu (citron) tea but made with sparkling water. It is really refreshing during the summer heat.

All hot latte drink was cute and delicious. We tried match cheesecake shaved iced today, we liked it. Will definitely come back for other flavors.

Review №32

Cashier was so rude and unprofessional that you would think the food would at least be better to compensate. She was clearly impatient, but maybe she wouldnt have had to interact with us for so long if she spent less time huffing and giving snarky answers and more time responding to simple menu questions.How were we supposed to have a Sweet Moment when the cashier was so bitter and the syrup was so sour we didnt bother with it? Go to Grace Street instead, some measly watermelon balls and soggy corn flakes arent worth the hassle with young Karen.

A little disappointed that they dont make the cute bears on their deserts anymore. I mainly wanted to try this place because it was featured on Food Insider.

Stopped in on a whim, and Im so glad we did! The drinks and snacks were delicious, and it was easy to tell that everything was made with love. I would highly recommend stopping in. I wished I lived closer by, because I would make this a regular place in my life.

Def bring a couple friends if you get a large shaved ice. The picture is a small and its plenty for one person. Very cute and pretty desserts, very much recommend.

Review №36

This place is definitely one of my favorites and is likely covid or maybe just staffing thats changed. The ambiance continues to be sweet, cozy, whimsical. Sadly though, you order one iced drink, not a big dessert and itll take 15 min or so. This didnt used to be the way. Ive been here several times. It could be they have the same person on register as well as making beverages and people in kitchen for food. Short staffed? It isnt efficient. The space is well lit with lovely hanging lighting, plants in various angles of the space, tucked away as an oasis, with cute latte art, lovely dessert options for summer heat waves. The prices are a bit expensive for coffee thats good but not excellent. This place used to be easily 5 stars as Ive had many meetings and friend hang outs after events since theres something for vegetarians and meat eaters. Who doesnt adore a beautiful dessert? Yet again, lukewarm efficiency and customer service strikes. This is amenable and Im hopeful that it is just covid low customer service support and not a general theme. Come on, be the place we ask want to visit again and again!

Came here for the cream art and I got the red velvet cream art milk tea. The cream actually tasted good but kind of stained my mask (as expected). Would be go back and try the desserts

Review №38

This place was amazing! Their selection of coffees, beverages and pastries were wide in variety! Being a woman and needing to use restrooms and not have to pay for an item is especially valuable. Although they have a sign that states you need to make a purchase in order to use the restroom, they did allow me the use. Im forever thankful. Chinatown is busy and they are very limited on public restrooms! I would strongly encourage businesses to open their restrooms for women and children! My daughter, 6 month old grandbaby and I were having real issues with locating restrooms.

There is no eating inside for the time being. They do have tables outside set up so you can sit. Their desserts are delicious as always.

Review №40

Such a cute spot for desserts and drinks. Their drinks are the cutest Ive seen in the city. The coconut limited shaved ice could use a bit more thought on it. They charge for a large and the final product is very small. The gold flakes are what makes it pricey and limited. Maybe instead of serving it in a coconut shell maybe decorate it with more coconut instead. In comparison to their other large ices the coconut wow factor fell a bit short.

I found this place a week ago through a google search, but it was a wonderful spot to get away from the heat with some yummy treats! The staff was patient and helpful when I was indecisive about what to order (I couldnt decide between the matcha red bean bingsu or the black sesame red bean >_

Such a cute and modern place with some unique and delicious desserts! We ordered the small Mango & Cheesecake and small Melon shaved ice. Both were $7. These are definitely picture worthy desserts. The shaved ice is so yummy, milky, and soft. This is a must go for different and interesting desserts that are delicious!

Review №71

One of my favorite places in Chinatown to go for drinks. The atmosphere could be a little loud to the sometimes inconsiderate guests, but most of the time it’s still comfortable to sit down and chat. I really enjoy the earl gray latte, black sesame latte, and recently the tiramisu latte was also good. The cream art was also nice and tasty — most of the time I get it with milk tea usually has extremely tasty cream. Taro and matcha are the two I remember trying and they’re extremely tasty. It’s also adorable! They now serve with to go, disposable cups, but I believe they will give reusable if asked!

Review №84

The place its cozy and the food beyond yummy! I asked for a matcha bunny but you have 5 options and all of them can be with tea or coffee.(Warning!: this drinks are cold and they use only half and half, no dairy free!). However if you ask for a regular coffee drink, you can have other kinds of milk.The nutella and strawberries waffle.. OMG! Sooooooo good! (You can share but I wont judge you if you dont want to, lol)The attention was great and the waiting time short.The main problem!: They have one bathroom that doesnt lock so you better go with someone to take care of the perimeter.I think its a great spot to have a sweet treat.And believe me, what you see on those pictures is what you get. So if you go solo, go with an empty stomach. 😉

Little cute coffee shop that has art latter and shaved ice. The decoration is really cute. Limited seats. We had chocolate latte and mango cheesecake shaved ice.

Great art! Their drinks were so so cute, and they tasted great. My friend and I ordered the matcha and the taro drink, both with milk tea as the base. The black line on top was liquid chocolate, which I managed to taste it out.The designs were soooooo cute. My only complaint was that the cup was small so the drink was finished after 2 sips.

Review №93

I went here for a BTS cupsleeve event its SOOOO CUTE!! The host was super duper nice but one thing ruined my mood. I asked one of the workers if I could get a $20 bill since I needed cash and I would pay them back, the lady on the side automatically said “NO” with an attitude I didn’t really mind it until my friend said after I stepped away the lady said “there is the f-ing chase over there” and was talking bad behind my back. I could care less about it but if it wasn’t for this BTS event I would have never come here and this is just disappointing since she could’ve said it nicely. Place is cute but the only thing is the employees are just disappointing.

Review №98

This place is known for their cute art (creamart) drinks...at least that was the reason why I stopped by. From the outside, it didnt look like much, but it was much cozier once inside! Their drinks/food was okay. I really liked their mango cheesecake bingsoo, but it was quite expensive for its size. I could get one that tastes similar and is larger for cheaper in Vancouver. Their creamart drink, while it is cute, did not taste very good. It wasnt sweet at all, and for me personally, I dont like bitter drinks. My friend said the Hot Pink tasted really watered down as well. He had no idea what he was drinking. And the avocado toast was okay...but nothing really unique. Overall, I thought it was overpriced for mediocre food and drink (though everything seems expensive in NYC)

Review №99

Loved the cold drink with a littlle cute teddy art on it. The art was so perfect and the cold brew coffee with red velvet rich cream on top was srsly amazing. Costs only 5 bucks. However, the waffle with smoked salmon and egg and avocado was medium. It wasnt anything exceptional but the price was too hight. But the waffle was well cooked and crispy. Big nice clean seating place with great photp opps. Perfect instagrammable photo place.❤

Sweet Moment has the cutest desserts and drinks. There popular drinks are latte art drinks with a cold brew coffee or cold milk tea base. They also make insane desserts that are so instagrammable. Its a nice cafe to chat with your friends and get sweets!
