WELCOME TO YOUR HAPPY PLACE... Which happens to be an awesome Black-owned dessert shop in Brooklyn. They make excellent and fresh Southern style desserts of which they are quite well known for their Carrot Cake. I have had many of their cake slices which are moist and come topped with a good amount of homemade cream cheese frosting. The shiny star for me is the Bread Pudding. It's exactly how I like it sturdy without being gelatinous and thick without being dry. The golden raisins are also a nice touch. I know they say that the rum sauce is optional but I wouldn't leave the shop without it. Please note that it's made with overproof rum. When on this section of Myrtle Avenue, please stop in. You won't be disappointed. read more

I really wanted to give this place a higher rating. Because the staff here is fantastic but the confections not so much. I tried a sweet potato pie and it was oddly lemony. The crust was really flaky, but a little overcooked. My friend got banana pudding and was disappointed in the taste and texture. Maybe I'll try them in the future and hope for the best. read more

The desserts are on point in here. I honestly wanted to buy everything, but I decided to buy a slice of cake and a cookie this time around. I have to go back to try the cupcakes. I would recommend the apple crumble cookie. So delicious, and not overly sweet. The strawberry cake taste homemade (which I appreciate when cakes tastes like this) and was also yummy. Staff was super friendly and gave me time to figure out what I wanted! read more

Fresh food, the best I had so far I've been looking for a place like this for years with cakes that actually taste like it instead of just sugar read more

First, black owned, so go support. Second the treats were soooo good. I went with a friend, she's from the south and got the sweet potato pie and the lemon cupcake. I got the oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookie and the seasonal apple cinnamon roll. My friend really loves the sweet potato pie and she's picky about southern food in nyc, she also really liked the lemon cupcake. The cookie I had was BOMB! It was huge too! And the cinnamon roll was sooo good!! You could see the apple chucks! Deff go check this place out, won't regret it. read more

Great carrot cake and fantastic service as well. I've also tried their blueberry lemon cake and liked it!

Omfggg!!! Honestly, I've always thought carrot cake was "alright" it's never wowed me and I never understood the hype of a good carrot cake until this place. My gf has been non stop talking about it since I arrived in the city. Yesterday we took a mid-day snack break and headed here. The cake.... The carrot cake.... BEST CARROT cake of literally, literally my entire life! They are not boasting this is a legit thing. Get the carrot cake. It was $8 per slice read more

Been eyeing the sweet potatoes pie for awhile now and finally got a chance to try it. Warm and delicious... super soft and tasty. Myrtle Avenue is a favorite spot for food and treats. This is yet another great spot to explore and try more... Next time I think I might sample the cupcake patron or coconut pecan. A perfect treat when you are in the mood for something sweet; smaller portion sizes helps when your trying to watch your figure. Happy Holidays! Questions?

Amazing cupcakes and banana pudding! We've tried it a few times now and it never disappoints. Decadent and super flavorful but not too sweet (always afraid of a cupcake that is cloyingly sweet). read more

I went into this establishment the other day to try their cupcakes. I got the last two vanilla cupcakes. I gave one to a friend for her birthday and I kept the other for myself. When I tell you that the cupcake was delicious OMG. It was flavorful and the frosting on the top provide the right amount of sweetness. When I went to the store they were going to close soon so most of the treats were already gone. I'm glad I got to try the cupcakes. I will definitely be back to try more flavors. The cashier was very nice and the place was quiet. Thanks for making delicious treats. I'll be back again soon. read more

Brooklyn Sweet Spot - Cupcakes and Apple Pie - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Our guests are arriving around 3:30 on Sunday. We wanted to sit down, have a meal, and chat. I called to make a reservation at this cafe. Artem answered, saying he was the manager. He asked, 'Will you leave by 5?' I thought maybe there was a banquet after 5, but I was told, 'No, we just have two time slots: until 5 and from 6. It's inconvenient for us otherwise. Even Igor (the owner) won't be able to help you.' It felt very rude and unprofessional. I've lived in the US for 30 years and have been to this cafe many times (though usually after 6), but I've never encountered service like this anywhere before. My desire to visit again has probably disappeared for good. read more

Everything is right about this Black Woman Owned business. I haven't met a dessert that I didn't like! Had to have my beloved chocolate seduction cupcake on Sunday because is didn't get any of my chocolate birthday cake! read more

Staff is always pleasant, dessert is always so good!!!!! It's such a quaint spot. I open they get all the love & support deserved!

I tried to place an order and followed the instructions given from the second employee that I spoke with. The second employee called the first one out for not communicating their policies correctly with me. Which employee is correct and which one is telling the truth? I am not really sure. In the end, they both lied to me. I attempted to order a cake exactly the way I was instructed to by the second employee, since she was more adamant that she was correct. In fact, I ordered it as per her instructions and paid for the cake online, per the instructions given to me (it was a birthday cake for my son and we do not live in the same state). I was happy the cake was ordered and let my son know he could pick it up on Saturday, because I had received a confirmation. Then about an hour later, I received 3 emails cancelling my order with no explanation. I will share that it is difficult to get through via the phone (most of the time, they do not answer and their phone prohibits being able to leave a message), but I tried until an employee actually answered. It took at least 10 attempts at this point and time. Once connected, the employee told me the chef decided she didn't want to make the carrot cake that I ordered. I was instructed to order one online and wait ten days to pick it up! Admittedly, this is some of the worst customer service I have ever received. I prefer to support any and all small businesses, but NOT The Brooklyn Sweet Spot! Here is the SILVER LINING. I googled another bakery in Brooklyn that had great reviews for carrot cake and found CHARLOTTE PATISSERIE. I called once, they answered. They were FRIENDLY and POLITE. I asked if I could get a carrot cake on Saturday for my son's birthday. The woman that answered asked me to hold on. I heard her say, "Chef, can you bake a carrot cake for Saturday." The answer was YES. It was the perfect experience. My son picked the cake up and it was absolutely beautiful! He and his friends said it was "delicious." I would highly recommend choosing CHARLOTTE PATISSERIE, if you are wanting a pleasant experience and a great product. They have two locations. I ordered from their Greenpoint location. Their phone number is (718) 383-8313. read more

Ms. Kym (the owner) was truly a delight. Was with my colleagues from work having lunccn and we atopped here on the fly for a sweet treat. To our surprise this was ah-mayzingg. We spent like 40 minutes here just talking with her and sampling items. The ladies bought treats to bring home. Has a real good family vibe in the place and you can taste the love all the way down in your pallet with each bitee We look forward to coming back when in the area agAin. Pricing was very reasonable. Space is inviting and has about 2 chairs to chill out, but def a grab and go spot. This gem on Myrtle is wonderful. read more

Forget this place! In the spirit of supporting small businesses int Clinton Hill, I tried to go there to purchase some treats for a dinner an event I was attending. They REFUSED to let me in. There was no one else in the bakery and I was wearing a mask. I was following the rules. They wanted to me to order from the street. HELLO? it's a bakery! You shop with your eyes. How do I know what is appealing unless I see it. The girl behind the counter said she would describe it to me. I'm NOT BLIND. DENIED. Hey.. why won't you let people in your store? I was in a few months ago so it ain't COVID. Shop LOCAL my ASS. I tried. read more

My new favorite place!!!! Friday I was feeling something sweet and my best friend recommend The Brooklyn Sweet Spot. Talk about amazing! I was greeted by this very handsome young man with a beautiful smile. And his energy matched. Not only was he patient and knowledgeable of all the goodies; but his recommendations was great too. I walked out with their box of joy (4 cupcakes) and 2 of there delicious bread puddings. For anyone whose looking for some amazing sweets & eye candy lol, go to Brooklyn Sweet Spot on a Friday. read more

This is my favorite dessert spot in Brooklyn. The desserts taste like they are from down south especially that amazing banana pudding. We moved from Brooklyn to Manhattan but we will miss this spot. This was our go to place for after school treat and the new young man working there is so nice and remembers you. I like that there is always something new on the menu and lots of experimentation and trying new recipes. I miss this place! read more

Is it convenient to order from the sidewalk through a walk up window? Nope. Do you have to kind of know what a cupcake is before you order? Yup! Is this place amazeballs? HECK YEAH. I don't even like pastries generally but their peach cobbler, apple pie, banana pudding, and red velvet are to effing die for. The staff is always warm and friendly and they are quite helpful. I love this place. read more

Absolutely amazing bakery. Possibly the best carrot cake I've ever had. The cupcakes are all very good, and any other cake/pie I've gotten has been as well. The regular brownie is a pass (cheesecake brownie is fire), but otherwise you really can't go wrong! read more

I ordered a cake for a friend 50th birthday dinner, and I have to say that I was very disappointed when I saw the size of box the cake was in (6 cupcakes fit in the box that the cake was in), this cake was to serve 6 to 8 people, I had it to serve 12 to 15 people. But this is just the beginning of it, not only was the wrong size was made, the owner didn't even call me to let me know, waited until I got there to pick up the cake. As a good business person, you should let your client know what happened and then fix the mistake that was made, she didn't. Instead, she charged me for the six cupcakes (and I still paid for the small cake, her mistake, not mine), she could have at least given me the 6 cupcakes for free. I will not purchase from The Brooklyn Sweet Spot ever again, due to her poor customer service that was provided. read more

Was so excited to try this place, but they literally had 3 things left when I went. Clearly, they don't manage supply and demand adequately, and then I bought a nearly $10 slice of cheese cake, which turned out to be highly mediocre. Oh, and they don't take any firm of mobile payment. read more

Love love love. Had the carrot cake from here and it was delicious. The owner was super sweet. She has a picture of her grandmother on the wall which I thought was super adorable. She said her grandmother was the one who taught her how to bake. This is a Black owned business which I love and will continue to go to :-) read more

Has the best carrot cake in the US. The cupcakes are also enjoyable. Highly recommend.

I was driving around secretly wanting something sweet, and I happened to be passing Brooklyn Sweet Spot. I decided to stop and that was both a good decision and a bad one. When I got to the widow, I was like a kid in a candy store. I just started ordering, two different types cupcakes, two different brownie's and cookies. I said they were for the "kids". Every bite was better then the last and that's were I made, bad decisions. Whenever you are craving something sweet Brooklyn Sweet is a most go destination point. read more

I have only tried the chocolate chip butter crunch cookie, which was gooey and delicious! Service seemed friendly as well.

This was probably one of the worst experiences with a business I've had. I tried to order a custom cake, and went through the process of filling out the online request form, but never got a response. I really wanted a custom cake for an event I was hosting, so I dmed the bakery's IG. The owner responded and told me to check in later about the cake, bc they were training a new team. I waited and reached out on the day they said, and was told they'd be able to make my cake. I was extremely excited, and let the owner know I could pay the balance right then, along with whatever else. The owner said they were super busy so they'd get back with me about those logistics....and then ghosted me completely. Never reached out to say they could no longer do the cake, never responded to additional outreach, just ghosted. This bakery is extremely unprofessional which is sad, bc the cakes look good. read more

I was kinda skeptical trying anything from this place because it was dead inside. But because my boyfriend was experiencing a sweet tooth and persisted we go in. The lady behind the counter was super friendly and very nice. I bought a chocolate cheese cake brownie, sweet potato pie which was small but very good SN have it warm and with ice cream and raspberry cupcake which was pretty good. I will definitely revisit to try more things. Everything is baked on premises and they close after they sell out. read more

Deceptively sold STALE PASTRY The pastries at this establishment are usually fresh and amazing! However this evening at ~7:15pm I walked in and noticed 3 small apple pies in the display case. I excitingly ordered one and walked to the register. The server gave me a pie in a paper bag. I sat to eat the Apple pie and noticed it looked nothing like the pies on display and tasted stale. I convinced myself I was imagining things and reluctantly ate the pie. After eating the pie I went back to the display case and noticed the same three lovely looking mini pies were still there. I questioned the server as to where the pie I bought was taken from. The server said "the display case". Rather than getting into a confrontation, I accepted her answer. She was very quick to offer a refund or another pie. Both of which I refused. The point of this post is if you're going to sell stale goods the customer needs to be informed. I was very DISAPPOINTED that the server tried to deceive me into thinking I purchased a freshly baked good. I was also disgusted that she would risk my health :-(...I walked out the store hoping I don't get sick as the night progress. If you must purchase from here, be sure to observe from where they obtain your pastry. read more

Customer service sucks ! Waited in line hoping to get a cupcake . As the associate was ringing out a guest I was asked " can I help you " I than said yes I would like to purchase a cupcake . " sorry we don't have no more " I than pointed to the cupcakes that were behind the glass ( confused ) why I couldn't get anything . " those are reserved " Mind you she said it so fast like she didn't even want my service . I immediately walked out , from the body language & time , I was completely turned off . read more

Would've been fine stars if costumer service was at the same level of cup cakes..OMG. Delicious, fresh, so many good things around this yummy spot. Just my opinion, I don't know what flavor does each cup cake has so if you are working behind the counter try not to show me how much you dislike me asking you about it!. read more

YUM!! I bought brownies and cookies to thank some colleagues, and of course, I had to test them first. I LOVED the salted caramel brownie, and banana pudding (as good as magnolia, if not better) as well as the oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies. I can't wait to go back to try to the cheesecake brownie and the bread pudding. read more
