Sweet Hut Bakery & Cafe

Bakery & drinks were spectacular! They have a gluten free brownie that is delicious- doesn’t taste “gluten free” at all! Staff were fast & efficient. Restaurant itself was a bit dirty, trash overflowing, and bathrooms very unkept.

This was my 1st time visiting Sweet Hut. The staff was super helpful and very personable. My adult son and I wanted some Boba milk tea. With so many options in Duluth(you could throw a stone from my house and hit at least 10-15 Boba tea places) I "googled" best Boba in Duluth and Sweet Hut came up high on the list. So we stopped there and I was surprised by the amount of baked goods that they have! Everything looked delicious but we were on our way to an appointment so we didn't have a lot of time to browse. We ordered 2 Creme Brule Boba milk teas and added extra Boba for my sons tea. While my son was waiting for our teas, I quickly browsed around at the baked goods and selected a custard filled sweet bun for me. My son has Celiac so when I got to the register to pay for my item, I asked if they had any Gluten-Free options. To my surprise the lady behind the counter and register reccomended the Gluten-Free brownie and offered to grab one for us. While she went to get the brownie, the other lady opened a binder with a list of all their items which had a Gluten-Free section and she told me which items were available for my son! I was so appreciative of that little kind gesture. Kudos to the great customer service and staff training by the owners. Now on to the food and drinks. The Creme Brule Boba was really great. The Boba was super fresh with a nice soft texture that firmed up as the drink cooled. My son likes harder chewy Boba so he thought that it was ok. The flavor was really good. My sons brownie was good with a nicer chewy texture and my son he was happy to have a baked item. The custard filled bun was just ok. The bun itself was nice, super soft and slightly sweet. The problem for me was the filling. I was expecting a silky custard inside but instead the filling was thick and sort of congealed. The flavor was nice but I wasn't thrilled with the consistency of the filling. Bottom line-the Boba was very good to excellent and the baked goods that we tried were good. I would definitely return to try other baked goods because they all looked amazing and I really wanted to try the fresh fruit tart, but we were sort of rushed to get to our appointment! So don't hesitate to try Sweet Hut!
