A cute spot in the University Circle area! I came here on a warm April day and was craving some ice cream. I got a cup of matcha soft serve ($5.95) and the strawberry layer cake ($6.95). The matcha soft serve was great. Cold, refreshing, and the perfect amount of sweetness that complemented the matcha flavor. I would definitely come back for the soft serve, especially since Cleveland has a tragic lack of places that offer matcha soft serve. I also enjoyed the cake. The cake itself was light, soft, and not too sweet. The strawberry jam wasn't bad and wasn't cloyingly sweet, but I did wish the cake came with more than one fresh strawberry. The cafe is small and has a few tables. The decor was absolutely adorable.
The place is decorated cute. My swirl was completely empty in the middle. Flavor was flat. The tiramisu was small and terrible tasting. I will not be going back.
I quite like The Sweet Spot. The aesthetic gives floral and dainty with a splash of hello kitty. I have only tried a couple items on the menu - a donut and iced year - but both were very tasty. I appreciate that "sweet" doesn't mean just sugar. You can appease your sweet tooth without giving yourself a cavity, and this place strikes the right balance. The seating isn't particularly comfortable but the customer service is great. I'm just more likely to grab and go than linger. It's indeed worth checking out!
The mochi donuts are delicious!! The inside of the restaurant is pretty small but also has very cute decor. My drink and donuts were gorgeous. 10/10 presentation. The lady at the register was very kind and quick to fix my problem when she accidentally gave me the wrong donut! I would definitely visit again. Note, there is no public restroom so don't go in there expecting to pee, lol.
Sweet Spot is awesome Cafe in Cleveland you simply cannot miss The host is super friendly who answered all our questions and served me. Had the Ube and cotton candy donuts. Don't bother with the cotton candy, get the Ube. Croffle Croissant Waffle was the best I have had in Ohio. We do not have many options of those around here. Unique and delicious. Beautiful surroundings and unique offerings. I'd go back and would recommend however I can definitely see it wouldn't be everyone's kind of thing.
If you've got a sweet tooth, The Sweet Spot will definitely hit the spot. The mochi donut trend is something you didn't know you needed in your life if you haven't had one before. You'll probably be drawn in first by the highly Instagrammable wall seen through the storefront window - the floral and brick motif lends pops of color throughout the shop. The scent of fried dough will greet you next, and a line of other salivating customers. On soft opening day, things were busy and there was a bit of a wait as the donut supply tried to keep up with donut demand. However, each little ring of dough still managed to look consistently eye-catching. And, while I had tunnel vision for the donuts, I actually had time to look through the rest of the menu which includes Croffles, Tiramisus, and other refreshing drinks. The best deal is a box of 6 donuts, which saves you about $3. I know, it seems like a lot for a donut, but I promise it's better than Dunkin'. My favorites were the Black Sesame and Strawberry donuts; I was a little disappointed that the Ube wasn't stronger. They feel lighter and chewier than a regular donut, like you could eat the whole box in one sitting. The employees were really friendly despite the rush of people and worked efficiently with each other. There's plenty of small tables in the front and back of the store and a pretty swinging chair for extra vibes. I'm very curious about the rest of the menu once they open in force and hope they'll gain a loyal following!
Located in university circle, this is a great place to grab dessert with friends! They have mochi donuts, croffles, and other dessert selections. My friend and I ordered the strawberry croffle, matcha and ube mochi donuts. The mochi donuts were not overly sweet, and still had a nice crunch on the outside with a soft and chewy texture. The croffle was also very delicious, using whipped cream as the topping with fresh strawberries. Again, not overly sweet very delicious. The croffle was on a popsicle stick, but I wished they had fork and knives to make it easier to share. Nevertheless, this place is very delicious and I recommend it!
This is attached to the Pho spot next door and is a cute place for dessert post-dinner. Their specialty seems to be a croffle, which is a waffle made from croissant dough. They top it with cream and a variety of fruits. This was super delicious. I've also tried their tiramisu, which was not like a typical tiramisu, more like a tiramisu-inspired custard, but still good. They also have soft serve that was super creamy and refreshing. I have yet to try any of their drinks so I'll definitely need to come back for that. The staff were very friendly and the space is adorable. There's a lot of cute decor, walls where you can write messages on, and even one of those cute aesthetic chairs that make the perfect backdrop for a photo. Definitely a fun post-dinner dessert spot.
Slow service but friendly and pretty unique baked goods. Delicious mayo seaweed pork floss sweet savory cake and stale yet still tasty and delicious coconut mochi donut.
Love the menu, the aesthetics, the taste of the food, the presentation but don't love how they don't make enough to supply people who have a 9-5 schedule. I went around early dinner time (6-6:30pm) and literally all their baked goods were gone. I read so much and saw all these beautiful pics on Instagram and their website for their colorful croffles and doffles but there were only 2 left--1 chocolate almond and 1 red bean butter. Both were delicious and truly like a croissant waffle but I was not able to try their mango, strawberry, blueberry, matcha flavors with cream. The drinks are kind of pricey though. The atmosphere was just bizarre. There are 2 functional claw machines blasting the most annoying music on full volume at conflicting intervals. You really cannot just relax and eat your food because there are 3 songs being played at the same time and it's so discordant. Would love to come back but it's kind of impossible to go any other time than dinner/dessert...so please just make more of your fruit cream croffles at all times! They will sell, don't worry!
Pretty cute dessert spot located in the heart of University circle. Bright colors and flower decor all around. Donuts are the trendy Mochi donuts that is squishy and soft! The cakes were OK but I would definitely try the donuts. I heard the boba is pretty good but didn't order this time. A nice different addition to the University circle area.
My friend and I stopped in for the soft opening during lunch today. She got a half dozen mochi donuts and I got a chocolate almond croffle (crossaint waffle). There was a little bit of a wait, being the first day and all, but the sweet treats were quite tasty. Looking forward to stopping back in to try out a tea.

Such a cute spot for dessert! I've heard so many good things about this place, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Came here with my girlfriend and loved the fun atmosphere and variety of treats, including mochi donuts. We tried the ube and matcha donuts, which were made fresh to order (hence there's a bit of wait but service was friendly overall), along with the lychee slushie and passion fruit Yakult. Loved getting to try some unique flavors! The decor is adorable, and there's even a little secret seating area in the back that makes the place feel extra special. It's a great spot to catch up with a friend, grab something sweet, and enjoy a cute dessert date. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu! read more
This place had a nice interior. Ended up getting a ube matcha swirl which was pretty good. I've never had either of those flavors on ice cream so didn't really know what to expect but it was good. They also had mochi and boba options read more
I had a taste for something sweet. I looked on DoorDash and I saw this place was available. I ordered here before and had a great experience so I tried them again. Today I tried the crème brûlée. I ordered one for me and my husband. Wait that really enjoyed it. It's a great individual size and a reasonable price. Not a fan of the advertisement paper being in the food, however, it came out easily, and it didn't leave any debris. The dessert has just enough sweetness and it's very creamy. I will re-order in the future and I do recommend. read more

So excited for a new mochi donut spot in University Circle! They just opened at the end of June, so they're still pretty new and not totally crowded, but they definitely are gaining attention. Their main attraction is the mochi donuts, which are such a great texture and super tasty (but very sweet). Each one is about $3.50, which is on par with other gourmet donuts. They also have a variety of drinks and other desserts, but I'll have to go back to try those. It's also nice that they have their own closed in porch off of the restaurant, so there's designated seating outside just for their customers, but it's also University circle, so there's plenty of places to eat (and park) in the area. Overall, I'm looking forward to going back again (and maybe snapping more photos for the 'gram while I'm at it)! read more

Great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! The staff is friendly and helpful. There was a good amount to choose from. They have soft serve, donuts, croffle (waffle cakes), varieties of tiramisu, pudding, crème brûlée, and signature drinks! I got the Yakult dragon drink. The taste reminds me of those sweet tart candies, it was refreshing and a vibrant fuchsia color. We also got the mochi donuts (one each flavor) we wanted try them all I would've given it 5 stars but the parking situation was terrible which comes with the area, I get it but still don't like it lol read more
