| - Is Sweet is a cute little coffee/ tea house that serves desserts like slices of cake, brick toast, shaved ice, ice cream. Located in Chinatown, in the same plaza as Viet Noodle Bar (which is located on the corner and can be seen from the street). Just head towards the back of this plaza and you will find Is Sweet.
My husband and I were in the area this past Friday and decided to stop by. We arrived around 8:20 pm. The female employee behind the register had a heavy accent and so I had some trouble understanding her. I felt bad that I had to ask her to repeat herself several times as I had asked questions about the crepe cakes. I do appreciate that she tried and was patience and still smiling despite my repeated asking her to say what she was saying one more time.
I ended up purchasing Matcha Crepe Cake (to go) $6.50 prior to tax ($7.04 after tax) and consumed the next day (since we were full from our dinner). Since I had ordered this to go, I had a side of matcha sauce packed in a small container. However, if consumed on site, a chocolate drizzle is placed along side the cake (but customers are given a small cup of the match sauce to drizzle on the cake on their own). I thought the cake was very moist and not too sweet, even with the added matcha sauce. My husband liked this cake but thought it would have been nice to also have the chocolate sauce provided to give another added complement flavor to the cake. I am really a fan of crepe cakes and though each layer was perfectly moist and had just the right amount of creme between.
Wait time was longer for our slice of cake than I had anticipated. I think the employee who took my order may have forgotten about us because I caught her looking surprised as she turned around and saw me (I was sitting across the room, as I waited for my order). Then shortly after, our to go order was brought out to us.
The prices do seem a little bit more pricey than your typical tea house (there are some fruit teas available for purchase, served in glass mason jars if you choose to enjoy your drink here on site). But I would still probably come back here anyway to try one of the other desserts that they have and most likely would order one of the tea drinks while I am here (I am not much of a coffee person, but they do have several coffee drinks to choose from).
I like that there is free WiFi available to surf the net and I also like that there is outdoor seating here so that I can bring my 4 legged little girl the next time I am out here in Las Vegas.
I do want to mention that the indoor seating is kind of small though and was rather busy while we came in.
Also if you wish to order one of their crepe cakes, it comes in 3 different flavors: matcha, vanilla, red velvet. And lastly, the current Yelp check in offer is 10% off 1 beverage.
Is Sweet is a cute place if you are into coffee/ tea Asian houses and wouldn't mind adding a dessert to your get together with your friend(s) and/ or date night.
