After getting a recommendation to Sweet Spot from a family friend, I decided to walk in for…read morecupcakes. My family walked in and were instantly hit with the warm homemade smell of baked goods. A girl in front, apparently named Maddie, was happy to help us and answer any questions we had. I bought 2 red velvet, 2 chocolate ganache, 2 chocolate buttercream, 3 vanilla buttercream, 1 white raspberry cupcakes, and a few vanilla macaroons. Altogether, this purchase came up to about $20. Long story short, no other place can compare to Sweet Spot Bakery. I wasn't sure what I got myself into, but I had no clue Sweet Shop would raise the bar to point where I don't think I can ever taste another cupcake the same way. I instantly knew by the softness of the macaroons and the moist sweetness of the cupcakes that I would be a regular at this establishment. And I have been! I've gone back at least every two weeks and have been recognized. If any shop could take my money and heart, I'm glad it's Sweet Spot!

I called and expressed my needs, the woman on the phone was very accommodating, she put a cake on hold for me. When I arrived I noticed that there's plenty of parking. It's a small bakery with a welcoming atmosphere. The woman that I talked to on the phone was even more helpful in person. The cake was absolutely delicious! The serving size that was told to me was true, the 6" cake served 6-8 people. I plan on returning to this bakery to try some other treats, especially the cannolis.

I did my research and in term of customer service and the value, Nell's cake cannot be beat. She was very responsive over email and very accommodating with my designs\.I wanted to do a custom scrabble cake and gave Janelle the tile arrangements and asked her to have fun with it. I can't be any more pleased with the result, It looked so good and my girlfriend loved it! She went above and beyond the call of duty and paid careful attention to the details. I love the bag of scrabbles up top and the marbled tile holders that resembled closely to the actual holder. If i didn't know any better, i would say she took the tile holder straight from the game! Janelle claim to make the best Red Velvet cake! I will have to see about that when i try it tonight! I will update after i try it tonight! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: Tried the Red velvet cake and it tasted delicious! Had guests asking where i got the cake all night! I was so surprised when i found scrabble titles in the bags! Again, attention to detail.

Always appreciate good vibes and kind people! While the bakery sells a lot of sweet goodies, their most popular item here appears to be their meat patties. During my short stay here, i saw 5 or 6 other customers stop by and every single one of them had picked up some patties to go! I ended up getting a Haitian herring fish patty and a Jamaican beef patty myself for lunch and it was so good! The patties were warm, comforting, savory, and had a very nice buttery flaky shell. I even did my mini happy food dance because i was so satisfied and happy with my lunch. Also, the patties were only about $2 dollars each. An absolute steal for the quality!

I'm not a big fan of haitian cake (tend to be dry and breadlike) but the cake had a great flavor, nice and soft. My only issue is the price - $300 is way too exp for a one tier cake!

The cake itself is light and delicate, the cream is smooth and not too sweet, and the coconut sauce on top is like glutinous rice, with a sticky texture and a satisfying sweetness. Tiramisu: Although not Southeast Asian, it's equally excellent! The coffee infused the cake, and the cream was smooth and creamy. Personally, I think it would be even better if it were a little more bitter.

If you want authentic homemade pasta, and pastries head on over to Il Pastificio. Let's start with…read morethe pasta for five or seven dollars per pound you have some of the best homemade pasta on the East Coast. The pasta is displayed in airtight sealed packages so you have the utmost freshest pasta possible when you go home. I've tried different styles of their pasta, and each one was better than the last. I definitely give High praise when it comes to pasta making since I do not have the patience for the time consuming process. I would suggest everyone come here and try the pasta at least one time you will be hooked. Magnificent.!! Now for the pastries. What can you say all the crusts are light, soft when needed, crispy and crunchy on the others. I mean it's basically cookie and pastry perfection here. The cookies are sold by the pound you can just ask for a mixed batch or pick your own mix and match. I am not sure how much per pound the cookies are my last purchase was 1 pound of cookies and two grapefruit waters and it came to $29. This is a freaking bargain for the quality of this pastry. The only downside about the pastry is that you can only eat so many cookies and at this location, you want every single one. My only advice is to come multiple times a week and grab a pound and see if it lasts you a day or two. Unfortunately, the pastry is so delectable that you want to eat them all in one sitting. Grab a pound and see how long you can make it last. Approximately two hours at my house. With everything said above, you think that would be it but there's more! Homemade gelato you heard that right homemade gelato. Already scooped into beautiful cups with fruit, different flavors and yes, 100% homemade again! Coming into this business is like taking a flight to Italy and walking down a small alley with local shops. There is too much going on for my taste buds in this store. Everything is amazing. So not to extend this fabulous review, but there's still more.... I haven't had the opportunity or the need to purchase a jar of sauce, but with the quality of every single thing that is sold under this roof, I am sure the sauce is amazing. They have jars of sauce so you can go home and make a pasta dinner in a few minutes just boil up your pasta and warm up the sauce. I definitely will try a jar one day. But I already know that it's delicious. Yes, there is more... I haven't had a chance to indulge in a sandwich at this location however it is on my agenda. I know they have sandwiches because there's actually a sandwich sign out front when I drive by once in a while that says they have sandwiches. I will save that for another day. I can only foresee a fabulous fresh sandwich with amazing taste coming out of this location. I look forward to this adventure in the future. The location is always clean. Well kept organized and set up super cute. There is always some kind of little display going on in the main lobby. As for the service, you can't get any better service than at this location because the people serving, you are actually the owners. Sandra is one of the most happiest, beautiful young ladies. I've met in so long. She is so upbeat, polite, happy and beautiful that you almost forget about the pastries when you speaking with her. And her dad, he is the master creator of the pasta.. and I'm sure most of the other things in the store. The both of them make your experience so pleasurable that it is amazing that you get the quality the taste the personalities of these two all at one location. I would say this is my favorite pastry/pasta shop 100%. The only negatives I see about this business is of course trying to get a parking spot on Broadway Everett, make sure you don't bypass make a few circles or go down the side street because you definitely need to go in here and give your taste buds the pleasure of everything inside this shop. Secondly, if you are handicapped, FYI, there are about 8/10 steps to get up into the shop. And the last which is not a negative it's just more of an anticipation one of my favorite cookies that you can't get anywhere is homemade here. I've been eating these since I was a kid and they are extremely hard to find. Nobody makes them unless you have an aunt or grandmother that actually makes them. If your around Il Pastificio during the holidays, you definitely want to come in and try the homemade Fennel Taralli. Next time I see them I'm grabbing three or four bags. I'm gonna hoard them!!! If you made it this far in the review, God bless you, go buy some some pastry, some pasta or just stop by for a sandwich or a gelato definitely support this business. Not many left like it. So please support them.. I give them 10 stars on a 5 star scale, which is impossible for a mom pop shop, but they deserve it.
