- Some cakes too sweet
Often praised
- cakesI love their honey citron iced tea, which comes with candied oranges. The staff are always friendly and attentive, and the cakes are sooo cute. Be warned, they are a little pricey for a slice, but worth it if you want the experience!
- crepe cakesI stopped in on a whim today and left with two crepe cakes: one caramel topped with Bischoff cookies and the other coconut pandan. My partner and I absolutely loved them and are definitely going to try more flavors. Their space is really cute too; I'm looking forward to eating in next time.
- dessertsWe've been to their Tenderloin store and their desserts are so delicious that we had to come and try it again. This location is even better because the shop is much bigger with more seating space and the surrounding is much more pleasant.
- FoodEverything was absolutely delicious
- foodI pre-ordered one for my husband’s birthday, and oh my god, it was so delicious and fluffy. It wasn't overly sweet, and overall, everyone loved it! The food was a definite hit, and the atmosphere was also rated highly.
- coffeeMy experience at Sweet Glory was truly exceptional. They serve extraordinary crepe cakes and offer great coffee. The staff was also very friendly.
- crepe caketried nearly every crepe cake
- drinksthe drinks are delicious and refreshing
- ube cheesecakeThe ube cheesecake is nothing short of of heaven.
- dessertMy experience at the restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed the delicious coffee, tea, and dessert. The cafe also has a great vibe and lots of space.
Frequently criticized
- crepesI tried the tiramisu crepe cake, which, while not the best I've had, was definitely good. The cream was delicious, though the crepes tasted a bit stale. I'm eager to return and try the sesame cheesecake.
- Durian ShortcakeThe durian on the cake didn't taste sweet
- Pandan crepe cakePandan have way too much cream between layers
- Taro crepe cakeTaro and Pandan have way too much cream between layers
- basque caketid bit too salty
- creamThe cream overshadowed the crepes
- crepe layersI found the Pandan Basque Cheesecake to be really good! However, with both Mille Crepe slices, I felt the crepe layers had too much texture, and not in a pleasant way. The bear candles were very cute!
- dessertWhat a pity for the quality of the dessert
- durian flavorsubtle taste of durian, and the taste wasn't good
- flavorsThis location is even better because the shop is much bigger with more seating space and the surrounding is much more pleasant. The only disappointment was that we didn't come early enough to try all the flavors that we wanted because they were sold out. We will definitely come back again EARLIER!
If youre looking for a spot with truly delicious and creative desserts, especially crepe cakes and unique flavors, this place is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful that a few items might have texture or sweetness levels that arent for everyone, but overall, it's a sweet success!

Value (4.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 16% of the guests
While the overall score for value sits at an average 4.5, a small number of guests (2 out of 17 total remarks) did find some positives. They felt the price per person was acceptable for the unique experience, suggesting that for those seeking something special, the cost could be justified. However, the overwhelming sentiment, reflected in just 11.8% customer satisfaction and 13 negative remarks, points to significant concerns.
Many found items to be pricey and overpriced, with some experiencing sticker shock and feeling the price for a slice was too high for the quality received, often expecting more for the pricier side of the menu.

Frequently criticized
- priceWe ordered the matcha mille crepe cake, Thai tea, and lychee fruit tea. The cake costs $13 per slice, which is about the same price as Lady M, but the quality was just average — not particularly impressive, so it felt a bit overpriced. As for the drinks, they were okay and easy to drink, but my friend thought the Thai tea was a bit too sweet.
- priceyCoffee, unfortunately, not my specialty. It is pricey. But the taste, freshness, and variety of the place are full-bodied.

If youre seeking a unique experience and are prepared for items on the pricier side, this spot might be worth a visit. However, if youre sensitive to overpriced items and expect exceptional quality for every price for a slice, you might find the value disappointing.

Unique and Tasty Crepe Cake
My experience at the restaurant was great! I had a really tasty crepe cake. The texture was unique due to the layers of crepes separated with frosting.
The food was rated a 5, and the atmosphere was also a 5. Service was excellent, and there was no wait time. The price per person was between $10–20.

Delicious Hazelnut Chocolate Crepe Cake!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, especially with the desserts. The Hazelnut chocolate crepe cake was incredibly good, not overly sweet like Nutella, but perfectly balanced. The hazelnuts on top were a delightful addition that complemented the cake wonderfully.
I also tried the Madagascar vanilla cheesecake, which was equally amazing. The food quality was exceptional, and the overall experience was highly positive.
