Something Sweet Homemade

This place is awesome! Yes some of you will say , "Hey AU, you always rate ice cream places with 5 stars, no one cares what you think!" In which my response will be "well, you're still reading this aren't ya?! *runs away while devouring ice cream*". Back to something sweet, place is super clean, vibe is super friendly and chill, and the ice cream is not the generic tubs you find at other places, flavors (see photos) felt fresh and the staff there were so friendly and patient! Got ice cream and bubble tea. If you unfortunately live in Staten island, def go to this place :)!. The photos speak for themselves! And before I go. Let me leave you with this one tidbit... for those of you who love rum raisin or red bean.... you have no soul.

I order from Something Sweet quiet often and normally never have a problem with them. I always check off “contact-free delivery.” This time the driver left my drinks on the top step going to my front door. How am I supposed to grab my order without spilling it? Does someone really not know you can’t put drinks on the top step of where a door opens? I wasn’t able to grab my drinks and they spilled all over my steps. Ridiculous. To top it off, the order was made incorrectly. Won’t be ordering again.

Do not be fooled by the negative reviews. I have been coming here for almost fifteen years. The world may grow up around this place, but this place stays the same and consistent with its exceptional products. A landmark of a business that anyone on Staten Island should certainly check out. Best homemade desserts around! The oolong milk tea, taro bubble tea, cheesecake, pecan tart and rose macarons are my personal favorite items from here. Absolutely worth the trip!

I visited today for the first time. Usually i get my bubble tea from a store right in front of this store in New Dorp Plaza. I tried the milk bubble tea Nutella. It tastes good but the bubble tea have different flavor from the one i used to. It was so sweet and cold. The place was crowded with customers ordering and customers seated for an ice cream or bubble tea or cake. I think it is really good place to have some sweets and to spend some times there with your young kids. If you are in the Island, go try it and give small local businesses a hand. Great job 👏👍👌🙌
