| - 3.5 stars based on the quality of our take out dessert. Came here on a whim after reading some positive Yelp reviews. It was packed on the Saturday night that we went there. The cafe is fairly small and gets pretty packed on weekends as it probably seats only about 24 people. After realizing that our party of 5 were not likely to be seated within 20-30 minutes, we opted to take out some dessert.
The menu includes a lot of refreshing Asian desserts such as mango or durian pancake, tofu based desserts, and mixed desserts containing mango, +/- durian, with sago, coconut jelly, grass jelly, and pomelo bits. Although we didn't try it, we noticed some people had ordered hot food items such as Japanese curry, noodles, and other meal items. Something to try for next time.
We ordered the 3 orders of #71: mango sago with coconut jelly. Each order came to $7.57 including tax. The size of each serving was quite generous, about 300 mL, and included a decent amount of coconut jelly and cubes of fresh mango in a blended mango/sago base. Very refreshing and not too sweet, just the way I prefer mango desserts to taste. Next time I plan to try their mango pancake (looks more like a crepe) or the mango/grass jelly/pomelo dessert.
Apparently there is another location at the Peachtree plaza near Hwy 7 & Kennedy. We were told that that location has extended hours on weekends from 12pm to 8pm but it has much more limited seating.
I have often passed by Sweet House Dessert while heading south on Birchmount but it looked so out of place in what essentially seems like an industrial area that I wouldn't have thought to stop in. However it is one of those hole in the wall types of restaurants that seems to get repeat customers from the uniqueness and quality of their food. My tastebuds were intrigued by the limited dessert experienced and I plan to go back another time, perhaps closer to their 7pm opening time to improve our chances of dining in.
