720 Bakery

Tonight was my first night there and it was everything I expected ! The people there are very nice and friendly

Wanted to make several visits prior to writing my review. It’s easy to write a biased review when already in love with sweet hut. I wanted to give 720 a fair chance. I decided to make some comparisons with Sweet Hut to give some of you a better idea of the similarities and differences. This is a great place to study, relax with friends to sit, talk, play board games while enjoying some snacks and a drink. I often times hop on over here when starbucks in the next complex over gets really packed and uncomfortable.
**Here is what I enjoy and would re-​order at 720 Bakery.**
–Walnut pastry (cookie): Simple and enjoyable. FYI, this cookie is hard in texture and crumbles. If you are fan of ONLY soft cookies, you may not like this one. I thought it went well with my jasmine milk tea.
–Jasmine Milk Tea: This is one drink I feel 720 makes fairly well. It lacks a bit of jasmine flavor in comparison to Sweet Hut, but very enjoyable. 720 allows you to choose 3 toppings with your drink (included in price). I usually order the jasmine milk tea with their boba, coffee jelly, and egg pudding.
–Portuguese Egg Tart: This has good flavor but lacks the soft, creamy consistency of a good portuguese egg tart. Although I prefer Sweet Hut’s version, 720’s egg tart is still ok in my book.
–Hot dog bun: The flavor and texture of their hot dog bun is comparable to sweet hut’s spring onion hot dog bun. I love getting this as a quick snack for later on days I’m really busy.
–Atmosphere/​Ambience: I love that 720 is never really super packed. haha. This means I can actually sit down peacefully and get some work done on my laptop or study. They have a decent number of outlets which is crucial for bakeries/​cafes/​coffee shops as many people are using more and more technology these days. They have 3 booths towards the back of the bakery if you want a private space to study. They have a large patio where you can sit back and relax and enjoy those good weather days.
–Staff/​customer service: Their staff has been very friendly and helpful during every single one of my visits here.
**Here are a few things I don’t like or would not recommend at 720.**
–720 really lacks in their selection and variety of pastries/​baked goods. I often times would pace a few steps to the left and a few steps to the right several times before I can pick something that I actually want to eat.
–Although I order their boba balls with my jasmine milk tea, it just isn’t on the same playing field as sweet hut. For me, good boba balls are slightly sweet flavor with a soft and chewiness to it. At 720, their boba balls are chewy in a more unpleasant way as it is more hard in the center/​core.
–Their egg puddings taste alright, but they skimp on this topping. When I ordered the egg pudding topping in my drink, they gave me 2 small chunks of egg pudding that I didn’t get to enjoy until my drink was almost gone.
–BBQ Pork Buns: Not a huge fan here
–Taiwanese chicken nuggets: Their seasoning is too sweet and their cinnamon flavor is too potent. It also lacks spice. =(Sweet Hut’s version (spicy salt and pepper chicken) is the way to go.
–Mexican milk cream bun: I enjoy the outside texture and flavor, but their milk cream could use some work.
–Cream Cheese Bun: I’m not sure if 720 struggles with making good fillings, but their cream cheese filling was an «X» in my book. I was only willing to take 2 small bites of this.
–Coconut Raisin rope: This pastry lacks flavor and is dry and hard.
–French Fries: same seasoning as taiwanese chicken nuggets. see above.
–They have their Air conditioning blasting making it chilly inside. I think they can turn it down a notch for their level of traffic.
–Other than the tables right next to the windows, their lighting is a little too dark to get a lot of work done without my eyes getting tired.
with this said…720 doesn’t rank as my #1 choice as they have a limited selection of baked goods that I find enjoyable. I usually hop on over after my visit to starbucks next door begins to get uncomfortable when it gets overcrowded.
QUICK NOTE: I was driving by today and noticed that 720 is temporarily closed due to a change in ownership/​renovation? I wonder if they plan on trying to up their game since Sweet Hut is booming across the street.

I live in Midtown, and wish there was a place like this near where I live. I love the variety of food and beverage selections.
I also like The private sitting area for if you have a quick bite to eat but also do some work as well.
When I was in there it was a tad messy… Maybe they had just experienced a rush of people but they may want to tidy things up a little bit.

720 Bakery, formerly know as Sweet Talk. You can probably see why they changed their name (cough Sweet Hut).
Now this place is no rip off of Sweet Hut, since I pretty much consider all Asian bakeries a rip of of each other, So now that we got that out the way, let’s actually talk about the place.
720 is great place for many people who are looking for nice place to chill, relax, study, play some board games, etc. Tons of stuff to do here!
The pastries and drinks are okay, their selection is probably not as big as some other bakeries and there are times where I feel like the person making my drink puts more of one thing in compared to the other so consistency wise they could work on it a bit more.
My Recommendations:
–Honey Green Tea
–Taro bun
–Orange Carrot Juice.

720 Bakery has me hooked.
Sure, their baked goods/​food and drinks selection may not be as impressive as some of the other places in the area. However, I come back to 720 for the atmosphere, excellent service, and to spend time with friends in one of their private booths— definitely the perfect place for studying, meetings, or having conversations. There are many electrical outlets as well as outdoor seating and parking.
With many of the Chinese style bakeries moving from Doraville to Duluth, there is going to be much more competition. 720’s atmosphere definitely sets them apart.

Watch out Sweet Hut! 720 Bakery is stealing the spotlight. Their top notch interior design has knocked out some competition. This place is really trendy and modern. I first notice the outside patio was big and spacious. While walking inside, they have some yummy pastries, cake, and bubble tea.
People come here for the free wifi, comfortable couches, food, drinks, and a nice view from the window. They also provide board games, uno, towers, and sorry. What really grabbed my attention was their menu displayed on a flat screen T. V and their caged booths. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I think their décor and atmosphere appeal to their customers taste. I would come here again for the bubble tea and atmosphere.

The main reason that I come here is for the taro mochi pastry. The past 6 times that I’ve been here, they’ve never had the taro mochi in stock. I’ve visited this place on weekends and weekdays, in the afternoon and evenings and all the times that I’ve stopped by, they never have the taro mochi. Boo.

This is my go to bubble tea place, I always get the lychee green tea or the passion fruit green tea.
They have free Wifi (but it’s pretty slow) which is a plus if you need to come here and study. However, sometimes it can get loud. There are private booths in the back 3 to be exact) and they also have outdoor seating which is nice for the summer time. There’s 3 small tables and 2 big tables outside.
I give it a ³⁄₅ because the desserts are a bit pricey and the quality doesn’t justify the price. The baked goods that are self-​served are just okay; there are only a handful of the baked goods that I’ll get and eat. However, their bubble is decent which keeps me coming back to this place!

After all the legal drama of «Sweet Talk» versus Sweet Hut, I finally got the chance to try out the 720 Bakery (formerly known as Sweet Talk).
I am able to confirm the rumors: it looks like a blend of Sweet Hut and White Windmill. The layout of the bread displays look just like Sweet Hut’s. The bread is all made by a former Sweet Hut baker and all look exactly the same as the bread from Sweet Hut. There are private booths in the back similar to those private back rooms of the Steve Reynolds White Windmill.
The prices are slightly cheaper than Sweet Hut, and you can get THREE free toppings in your drink! I ordered a hot drink, which I chose to go without toppings. I got a regular sized hot Jasmine Milk Tea for 2.95 (cheaper than Sweet Hut… Seeing the trend?). There are also fresh fruit juice options (you can choose up to 3 fruits of vegetables) and syrups you can add to your «fusion teas.» I also ordered a coffee walnut roll, which was light on the cream and heavy on the cake. I prefer more cream, but I guess 720 Bakery was looking out for my health and diet. I can’t say much for the breads since I didn’t have a chance to try them, but if they are made by a former Sweet Hut baker, what else is there to say?
There are board and card games available for you to borrow and play! We picked up a deck of Uno and relived our childhoods in a few more competitive versions of the card game.
Service is generally nicer and friendlier. I wish 720 Bakery were closer to the Perimeter, but I would gladly stop by here again if I’m eating in the area.

I’ve heard all the rumors about this place, from wannabe Sweethut to it’s a sucky place. However, ever since it changed its name to 720 Bakery, people were saying how much better they think it is now. Therefore, I finally got to check it out.
Honestly, the ones who have told me about 720 Bakery being better with Sweet Hut (I promise the comparison will stop after this) say that because 720 Bakery is closer to them than Sweet Hut (they cannot wait for the Duluth location to open up BTW).
Pros are that it’s really clean, nice loungey look, free wi-​fi, more variety, friendly staff, buy 5 get one free breads. The frappé is just okay, got cookies and cream and taste more like coffee, you get a small hint of the cookie and cream taste.
I’m not a huge fan of the baked goods. They are just okay, not bad but it’s not like I mind it. If I want to hang out with a friend in the area, I would come back. It’s not crowded at all.
Next time, I want to try more.

A friend and I stopped in for a midday treat. The glass case near the register was filled with the cutest, picture perfect desserts! There were an assortment of fruit tarts, pies, cheesecake and chocolate cups.
We went with a chocolate mousse cup and one of the tiramisu cups. Both desserts looked pretty but neither one tasted as good as it looked. They tasted sugar free… which defeats the purpose of even having dessert in the first place.
Even worse, the chocolate mousse cup was topped with a dark pudding-​like layer that had an exploding ink pen effect on my friend’s mouth.
If my review was based on visuals alone I’d go 4 – 5 stars but since my taste buds say otherwise…2.5 stars.

«If your reviews are looking like essays, start a blog. I can’t read your life story on my phone before ordering from the menu.»
[Time & Date of visit]: Mostly on weekend nights.
[Party Size]: various, 2 – 8
[Location/​Ambiance]: It’s been random, loud to chill.
[Service]: This is mainly order at the counter, pick up at the counter. Most utensils and napkins, you’ll have to grab yourself at the self service station.
[Food/​Beverages]:
Potted Plant Tea :
I first had this in a café over in Cali last year, and I was hesitant due to Oreo cookies being rich… but DAMMM it was surprisingly just sweet enough but not overly sweet. And had a contrast on flavors and textures. Crunchy, smashed Oreo cookies on top. Lightly sweet milk tea and then chewy boba pearls on the bottom. That café even gave you a small vase to drink it out of if you dined in and before closing.
720’s version (s) has gone through many iterations. Grand opening, it was pretty much flat, and too much ice on a already watery tea. Since then, I have tried it a total of 3 other times, and it’s been slightly better but still just «meh» each time. Good thing I ordered a small. — Try another drink instead.
{Summary}:
I have yet to try their other selections and pastries. Though I believe the hype since grand opening has really died down, the ambiance has been more chill now and not as loud. If you want to catch up with a friend with out yelling over the surrounding guests, this is a good spot.

Formerly known as «Sweet Talk Bakery», I initially came in thinking it was a Sweet Hut wannabe, in a less desirable location as part of a strip mall plaza in Duluth with a Bed Bath & Beyond. It is small, maybe a little less polished & chic as Sweet Hut, and during the times I’ve frequented, not very crowded. However, though my initial observations were well grounded, I found a couple of unique items at this bakery that I couldn’t find at Sweet Hut.
First off, the set up and beverage/​cake/​snack menu is nearly identical to Sweet Hut. I order mango green tea here, and it does taste a bit more strong in the green tea portion though, which I like a lot. There is a frequent buyer drink stamp card that you can get stamped for each drink you buy to get your 7^th drink free… bonus! The breads and buns, which you self-​serve using a tray and tongs, are good and comparable to other bakeries. However, the main reason I come here is for the sweet rice pastry with peanut sugar filling… I haven’t seen this pastry in other places for awhile. Popular at dim sum restaurants, this pastry is a chewy soft sweet rice shell (similar to mochi, with coconut around the outside) and a peanut sugar filling… more commonly, some places have this pastry with a red bean filling instead. At $.80 each, I can tear through a few of these little pastries! Hope other pastries start carrying this pastry, otherwise, I’m going to have to keep making the special trips to this location solely for this pastry. I’ve also seen trays of mini moon cakes sometimes, probably around holidays.

Taro Mochi Puff– GET IT.
The first time I had stopped by an Asian style bakery like this was… well, in Asia– Shanghai to be exact. Clearly the trend has picked up here as evidenced by the bajillion pop ups around town. I love the ability to choose what I want. especially given the reasonable prices ($ 1-​$ 2 each). Its also nice that this location generally has a special such as buy 3 get 1.
I chose the Taro Mochi puff which was incredibly, the green matcha red bean which was ok (I only ate the red bean part), and two varieties of coconut + cranberry.
Couple of tidbits.
1) Name comes from the address of the suite. 720*
2) Seating is limited
3) Line can be long as they individually wrap everything and are working with one register
4) No limit on credit card! Hello 2015!

Although it’s not sweet hut… ok maybe I shouldn’t start my review like that: P
Wanted to try this place after I saw a bunch of my friends Unilocaling about it. I am a big fan of Sweet Hut so I was excited to find something closeby that is similar. It is great! It does have a sweet hut feel from the quotes on the wall to the way that their pastrys are placed. I am not sure if it is suppose to be different or a second location of sweet hut… knowing a second sweet hut is opening down the street. Not that I can complain. Their drinks are great! I got a sweet talk milk tea with low ice and less sugar. Great! My friends got taro and thai and they both enjoyed their drinks. Out of the three of us, we sampled many different items.
My friend got blueberry cheesecake, blueberry happa something haha, pizza, and a strawberry pound cake looking thing. All were amazing! Soft, spongy, cheesy, and subtle. Except for the pizza which my friend said was good, but I didn’t try.
I got the coffee happa-​something, coffee chocolate mexican bun, and the peanut br – something. Haha the descriptions are in the pictures. I enjoyed the coffee cupcake one most! It was very moist and although it didn’t taste like coffee to me I still enjoyed it. The mexican bun didn’t taste like coffee either, but I also still enjoyed the subtle buttery-​inside. The peanut one was very peanut buttery too which was exactly what I wanted!
My other friend got all desserts. They all looked great and I didn’t get to try any, but I will ask her her opinions of them after she tried them at home!
Music wasn’t too loud. Not too many people for a wednesday night, but still a good crowd. I want to try the outside patio next time. It was a nice breezy night. Open until midnight which is pretty cool for weekdays on pleasant hill!
Oh! And my cousin got the taiwanese nuggets. Very spicy! But awesome. They came out a little sweet at first, but the customer service is awesome here and they quickly got us new ones that were more spicy than sweet!
All the staff here is very friendly.

Hmmm. A pretty popular place. My friend said this is another version of Sweet Hut, and I suppose it is. There was hardly anyone here when we arrived, and then it got obnoxiously loud as more and more people piled in.
There were plenty of places to sit. There were outdoor seats as well as private booths inside where one can have more privacy to talk or study. There are the typical tables for large and small groups dispersed in the middle of the restaurant. There were also large cushioned chairs for large groups as well.
Their drink was pretty good. I cannot remember what it was I had, but it was under the milk tea section (Sweet Talk milk tea). They have the typical milk teas, smoothies, and frappes. There was of course plenty of baked goods and cakes (sold as a whole or in slices) as well.
Parking was okay. Even though Sweet Talk is in a complex, they are sharing parking space with the more popular Starbucks and Saigon Café in the immediate area.
