Description

In the vibrant late-night scene of Berkeley, Sweetheart stands out as the prime destination for boba enthusiasts, celebrated for its flavors and welcoming atmosphere. However, culinary experiences in the area vary widely. Some establishments promise authentic Latino fare but have received mixed reviews regarding food quality and service. While cozy cafés attract students with delectable pastries and great coffee, others face criticism for dismal service and subpar meals. Despite the culinary highs and lows, Berkeley remains a diverse food haven where diners seek unique flavors and memorable experiences under the city’s eclectic charm.

Always a good breakfast/lunch stop. Gotten a little pricey from my poor student days, but can't help but return here esp for a breakfast/brunch as the food is always delicious. Fresh squeezed orange juice always pleases too. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Sundeck Combo D

Amazing cafe! But it's been closing early lately. Maybe they need more business to justify staying open later. I hope more people start coming here. Price per person: $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I tried to go there for breakfast, but they were closed. The dark stairway was really creepy. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast

Sweetheart is the go-to spot for late-night boba cravings in Berkeley. The clientele includes drunken frat stars, students pulling all-nighters, and nearby restaurant workers during the bustling midnight hours. I believe Sweetheart serves the best boba in town. While some may disagree, I stand by my opinion. Compared to other popular boba spots like Purple Kow, ShareTea, Bobo Drinks, and Quickly, Sweetheart stands out for its perfect balance of price, quality tea, and delicious pearls. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere add to the overall appeal of the place. However, if you're looking for snacks, you might want to try another spot as only the fried chicken at Sweetheart is worth the money. Overall, Sweetheart is the place to go for a great boba drink, nothing more. Rating: 7.2/10
