| - To be fair, I really loved IS SWEET during my first two visits but all my visits after that have ranged from decent to poor. From an aesthetic perspective, this place does have cute vibes. It has mismatched tables and chairs which you find at a lot of coffee shops nowadays. Also the place is nice and clean with big windows.
The desserts I've had so far have been quite good. My personal favorite, the banoffee, is especially yummy. The crepe cake I loved when I first ordered it since I had never had anything like it, but at subsequent visits it's become less and less appealing to me personally. It tastes mostly like layered whip cream. The drinks are okay. My mango iced tea was delicious, but my coffee was extremely bitter even with cream and sugar.
One event that did ruin this place for me was when I checked their hours online and saw they would be open til 12 am. My boyfriend and I arrived there at 11 pm where we were greated by a sign on the front door that said "New hours! Open til 1 am!" So obviously, we were like "great!" and proceeded to attempt to place an order. The two male employees there made eye contact with us when we walked in, then proceeded to ignore us for a good two minutes while we waited to place our order. Finally, one of them acknowledged us and said, "We're closing soon. The kitchen is closed." I was flabbergasted and thoroughly annoyed, not just that their hours were all over the place, but more so that they let us stand there for two minutes before telling us we wouldn't be served.
Honestly that experience has led me to go elsewhere to fulfill my sweet tooth cravings. Definitely overhyped.
