October 15th is my daughters birthday and I remembered at the last minute I needed a peanut free bakery to meet my need. I searched and found this bakery in Stoneham, MA. 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. read more

The best bakery ever! I have had everything from the cakes and cupcakes, to the quiche and chicken pot pie... and it's ALL delicious! I highly recommend them for specialty cakes or cookies, as I feel they can do anything you want perfectly! They made over 100 cookies for my seating chart for my wedding and everyone raved about them! If you like caramel delights, that is the best cupcake I've ever had! The cakes I've ordered from there are always moist, and delicious. The staff is so friendly as well! I just got my rainbow birthday cake from there and it's soooooo cool! Love it! And love them as a bakery! Highly recommend. read more

i ordered a cake for my sisters gender reveal and it was an amazing experience! Not only was the cake delicious and looked exactly like we wanted it to, the staff was so kind!! 10/10 would recommend !! read more

I had a baker ghost me, so I got in touch with Sweet Spot too late for them to design our cake, but when I mentioned my daughter is an artist, they suggested that she do a design they could print on edible paper, and then they'd add writing and embellishments. And they did such a great job! The cake tasted as good as it looked, and when we picked up the cake, we grabbed some apple turnovers that were amazing. I'm very glad to have found this place! read more

I ordered cupcakes for my office to celebrate a coworker's retirement. The cupcakes here were great and I feel it is well worth the price if you are getting cupcakes for a special occasion. Everything was packaged very neatly and they were nice enough to provide a list of all the different flavors in each package as I got a variety of flavors. I chose a basic chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting, and the frosting is perfect (not overwhelmingly sweet, just right, and the consistency was great). I will say that this is a small bakery with a very small retail area, there's no sitting space and I could be wrong, but I don't believe they sell coffee or any other beverages. Nothing wrong with that, they sell baked goods, and they're really good at it. That being said, I haven't had a cupcake from this place in several years and had forgotten what they were like. When I was placing my order, I was hoping they would've had a mini cupcake available to sample (I was willing to pay for the sample). There were none available so I basically blindly ordered 20 regular sized cupcakes plus a case of mini cupcakes with the hope that they weren't terrible. I understand in the grand scheme of things, I didn't have the biggest order, but I could not imagine placing a larger order for a big event without being able to sample the product first. To be clear, the cupcake I had was great, and from what I understand, all my coworkers enjoyed them also. However, I could have easily spent $50 less and just gotten cupcakes from the supermarket. Just saying. I have worked at cafes and bakeries in the past and offering samples was never a big deal bc most product would be trashed or donated at the end of the night anyway. read more

Unfortunately, I recommended this place to my neighbor. The cake they created was incorrect. The response from the bakery was horrible, nasty, and unprofessional. They blamed my neighbor for their mistakes. Luckily, neighbor had email evidence that they were in the wrong, so they did offer a partial refund, but it should have been a full refund. Her kid doesn't have a cake for his birthday party! I'm really embarrassed that I recommended this place. read more

I love this place, to be clear. What I don't love is scrambling to try to rearrange my day so I can get there from Boston before they close at 6 only to arrive and discover they closed at 3. I mean, I'm having a really horrendous couple weeks to be fair, but this just about did me in. I wouldn't even be mad but I called ahead when I was on my way just to make sure they were open. I guess it's my fault because I didn't say, "are you open until 6pm today?" and instead asked, "are you open regular hours today?" I probably won't need to make this mistake again. read more

Fantastic cake and customer service was my experience at this place. It was everything I asked for my daughter's 1st birthday. I highly recommend this business for your celebratory needs. read more

We ordered a custom cake for a birthday party. Customer service was great, and the cake was beautiful, but tasted awful. Super thick layer of frosting and then fondant on top of that, and what little cake there was tasted super dry. read more

They do a great job. We order cupcakes from Sweet Spot often. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because sometimes, they book fast for holidays, and you can't put in a last-minute order. Everything was super easy doing COVID, from putting in the order online, prepaying over the website, and picking up. read more

Underwhelming experience with a recent cake I purchased. At least my guest enjoyed the cake.

We ordered my grandson's first Birthday Cake .... Dino Train Cake .... This past weekend. They were so accommodating!!! The cake was absolutely gorgeous and it was over the top delicious!! Everyone wanted seconds!!!! The mini smash cake was perfect! I cannot say enough about this bakery. It was my first tome but will not be our last!! read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this bakery. I came in on Thursday afternoon and asked if it would be possible to get Sesame Street cupcakes for my 2 year old daughter the next day.

I can't say enough about this bakery! I called a month in advance to inquire about ordering a custom cake for 10/7. The staff that I spoke with were very friendly and helpful. I told them my ideas and I sent them some inspiration photos via email. We discussed a custom cake flavor based off of my dad's favorites. The ordering process was SO easy! When we picked up the cake yesterday, my jaw hit the floor. It was everything and more! The detail was perfect, they absolutely nailed it. Fast forward hours later when we finally got to taste it, WOW! Chocolate cake with Boston cream filling and buttercream frosting. It was delicious!!! My dad was SO happy and surprised by the little details on the cake. I would not hesitate to order from Sweet Spot again! read more

I love this bakery and am so sad that I discovered it just as I was moving away (found it through TGTG). Everything I've had here has been delicious--like the kind of delicious where your eyes widen and you can't stop eating, particularly the shortbread sandwich cookies (both the raspberry-filled ones and Nutella-filled ones), the raspberry pie twist, and the icicles (basically homemade Lamingtons). Words can't describe how good the icicles are. I also love their cupcakes, and the hardest part of coming here is picking which cupcake flavor(s) to bring home. The carrot cupcake was the best cupcake my husband has had in a long time, and he couldn't stop raving. The bakery itself is cute and has that homey, family-owned vibe with great service. The past few times I've gone there has been a red-haired guy at the front who is super friendly and always makes my day. Definitely check this place out if you haven't already gone! read more

we just had 2 birthday cakes from Sweet Spot Bakery - carrot cake and strawberry short cake. they were both delicious and especially the carrot cake. 20 people from all over the state said it was the best carrot cake they ever had!!!! No leftovers! read more

I was looking for specially decorated cupcakes for a baby shower but wasn't certain what I was looking for so I sent Sweet Spot a bunch of inspiration photos and told them the color scheme and they absolutely came through. The cupcakes were beautifully decorated and above and beyond that, delicious! They didn't last the entire party - people were coming back for seconds! Also very helpful they were able to make some of the cupcakes gluten free. Will absolutely use Sweet Spot in the future read more

After getting a recommendation to Sweet Spot from a family friend, I decided to walk in for cupcakes. 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! read more

This cute little bakery tucked off a side road in Melrose between Sit n'knit and Garniss Market definitely hit my sweet spot! It is easy to overlook, but believe me, you don't want to. You'll want to seek this place out. They have two large bakery cases with the most delicious looking cakes, cookies, muffins, pastries and just about every sweet you can imagine - baked fresh on the property! I chose a vanilla cake with a layer of raspberry and a layer of lemon, topped with a vanilla butter cream frosting and sprinkled with toasted coconut on the sides. This was honestly the most delicious cake I have ever eaten. The cake was soft and moist, the fillings added a pop of fruity flavor, the butter cream was rich and delicious and the toasted coconut gave it a little crunch and sent my taste buds over the edge. A small cake (serves 4-5) was only $15.99. I am trying to come up with an excuse to go back and buy another one! read more

I picked up a HUGE sheet cake for my granddaughter's Christening on Sunday. I was promptly greeted at the counter by a very nice woman who made sure I was picking up the right cake. We checked the spelling on my granddaughter's name, she boxed it up and then taught my proper handling techniques for such a large cake. At the Christening party afterward with 80 guests on-hand, EVERYBODY was raving about how beautiful and delicious the cake was. We ordered the whipped cream strawberry shortcake sheet. Fabulous! I highly recommend it. A real crowd pleaser. I have a chunk of it frozen for later consumption... read more

We ordered Sweet Spot cupcakes for our wedding last weekend. To say they were a hit is a massive understatement! After the reception, we didn't hear about the party, or the dress, or the food... we heard, "OHMYGOD, where did you get those cupcakes?! They're amazing!!" If you are planning a wedding or special event, Sweet Spot is great. 1. The cupcakes are, in fact, amazing. Try the white chocolate raspberry. Or the salted caramel. Or whatever flavor floats your boat; it's pretty hard to go wrong. 2. The staff is super easy to work with. We placed our order, and that's what showed up, accurate, on-time, beautifully displayed, and hassle-free. 3. The prices are very reasonable, and we got a discount for a large order. (That's right, ordering hundreds of cupcakes is a financially responsible decision! It's the excuse you've been waiting for!!) We live nowhere near Sweet Spot - and in fact drive by a half-dozen bakeries on the way--and this is still our go-to bakery. I can't recommend them enough! read more

We just celebrated my daughters birthday with the most amazing coconut cake. It is very hard to find a bakery that makes a coconut cake but they offered to do a special order. I hope it will be available on their regular menu now. They out did themselves. We asked to have cream cheese frosting with coconut on the sides. So glad we did. I am planning on order the same cake for my sisters birthday. Melrose is so lucky to have great bakeries. read more

Tried the lemon, vanilla buttercream, chocolate buttercream, and funfetti! Also ordered salted caramel but got the one with coconut, which may have been a substitute if they were out of the other. I haven't tried it yet as I don't care for coconut but willing to give it a shot. Overall loved the sweet, fluffy treats!!! read more

Never Again!! Last year I special ordered a birthday carrot cake for my Mom the day before I was to pick it up....and used a Groupon to defray the cost. It turned out to be the oldest, driest, most bland tasting carrot cake I've ever had. Well, while I was at Mom's birthday last weekend. a year later, the family was laughing about how bad that cake was...we couldn't even eat it! They all loved the Market Basket carrot cake they had this year. Still embarrassed! Emailed the bakery when I got back home last year and expressed my disappointment....never did get a response. read more
