Donut Triangles. Perfectly made.! SO delicious. A must stop every time.

A Must Stop Every time. Always Delicious Donut Triangles, and Funnel cake. Family and I love coming here located in San Bernardino Night Market.

Kaylee D.

Funnel cake was delicious, their ambiance nice! The funnel cakes had a great amount of sweetness! The service was fast, as there was not a lot of people. The only thing, is that it's a pop up truck and sometimes that I have gone it is not there. Other than that, I would recommend this place!

The funnel cake was amazing and the service was amazing very friendly and I would definitely would be back thank you.

I called slightly before they opened to find out if they'd be at their usual spot last Sunday. Mind you I was unaware of their hours of operation. To my surprise a gentleman called me back right away. That was nice as I later found out the time I had called they were closed. Upon arrival we asked for the banana split funnel cake and asked for Carmel on the side among other things. They followed the instructions to a tee! The funnel cake wasn't at all oily like some I've had at fairs. They put all the right amount of ingredients and weren't at all stingy! Needles to say we'll be back!

Funnel Cake with Powdered Sugar strawberry's and ice cream

Funnel cake was bomb! I know they have different locations so I checked their instagram @thesweetstops I've been when they were by the target off Tyler and in San Bernardino. 10/10 it's very fresh and not oily. The deep fried Oreos are also good . Service was quick

We hired the Sweet Stop to give out free funnel cakes at our community event and they were amazing! They went above and beyond to service all our guests, even staying later than scheduled to ensure all orders were met. We will definitely be looking to book them for future events. Arturo was very accommodating, communicative, and wanted to make sure we were happy at all times. Highly recommend

Do yourself a favor, get yourself the funnel cake with strawberries AND ice cream... probably the best funnel cake Ive ever had. Also, the deep fried Oreos are *chefs kiss* Under new ownership, and the service was top tier. Highly recommend this place.

Funnel cake with ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar

SOOO GOOD! Had the funnel cake topped with ice cream, whipped cream, strawberries and cinnamon sugar (chefs kiss) and deep fried Oreos and churros. Didn't get to take a picture of the churros and deep fried Oreos, we were too hungry! But everything was delicious! Staff are very friendly and welcoming! Definitely recommend this spot! You won't be disappointed. For sure coming back!

Decided to stop here after looking for a different pop up shop, that didn't "pop up" that day. I got the banana split funnel cake...its was tasty and heavy on the toppings, which is good with me, because not an inch of the cake was dry. Being that it does come with ice cream on top, I should have gotten it on the side, because I didn't finish it and it just melted into my cake and made it soft....such a bummer. Next time I'll know, to get the ice cream on the side. I don't purchase many funnel cakes, so I'm not sure if paying $13 for that was a good deal or a rip off. Any other extra toppings, are $1 each. I may or may not go back, I haven't decided yet.

LET ME TELL YOU!!!! THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU! We got a funnel cake with whipped cream strawberries & drizzled chocolate for $13 . IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! It's definitely our new little spot for when we get a sweet tooth. The SWEET STOP gets a 10/10 (it was so good we forgot to take a picture, but next time) read more

Honestly it was expensive and not only that the funnel cakes are tiny. The strawberries are glazed so not fresh Not only that but the funnel cake didn't take like funnel cake it tasted like a churro. they probably use the churro mix for the funnel cakes. If I wanted a churro I would have ordered that. Wouldn't come back. Plus I spent 30 dollars and the card fee of 1$ I'd rather drive all the way to knotts for a good funnel cake. read more

I went for the donuts. Very underwhelming. Almost no cinnamon/sugar, and AWKWARDLY dense. I was expecting something along the lines of a mini donut (Trish's Mini Donuts; Sparky's Mini Donuts). Instead, these were dense, nearly flavorless balls of fried cake. Really not worth a visit. Definitely not the melt-in-your-mouth experience you expect when ordering mini donuts. Staff were nice, can't speak to other offerings. I will say I noticed their funnel cake toppings were all pre-bought Hershey's, HFCS stuff. This seems like a disappointment and hard to justify given the prices. I don't think people spend $10+ for Hershey's "caramel". The truck would be well served with a small investment in fresh product and toppings. read more

My husband and I were craving something sweet to eat and happened upon The Sweet Spot on set up on Park/University. They were busy, but we decided to wait. Totally worth it, even in the heat! We shared a funnel cake and strawberry/banana smoothie. YUM! The cake was freshly made and crispy with tons of toppings. The fruit smoothie was tasty and refreshing! The employees were great and offered us a loyalty club card. Al, the owner stopped by, of course, we snapped a pic! We'll definitely be back! read more

I've been seeing this place and was finally able to try their funnel cake! So so good and crisp. I got the banana funnel cake. It's $13 but if you text them you will get $2 off paying the same price as a regular funnel cake! It's obviously not like Knotts or any other but they are your typical fundraising booth/food stand that will have lines regardless! It's on Arci's corner and university. Can't miss it! There's also another food truck, Lolita's, next to it... had to try their food but this review is for The Sweet Stop. read more

The frozen strawberry lemonade drew me in. It's quite good but considering the price on it, is it naturally made? My Hubby took us here for our first time. The second time, I treated and I was a bit shocked by how pricey it was. These are prices you normally see at the fair. She has no overhead and does she pay rent for that location? We got that drink and the $11 funnel cake which I wish would've been a bit bigger. Strawberries weren't fresh. Stringy consistency as well. It's also $1 charge if you use credit so keep that in mind. read more

My dad went to pick up 2 dozen masaladas and a dozen guava starbreads -- which they gave for a very reasonable price. My office is 15 mins away, by the time he got to my office, they were still very warm!! My coworkers and I tried the starbread and everyone loved them!! They're just sweet enough, not too sweet, and the bread is super soft! The masaladas are amazing too! If you are looking for nice quality pastries, especially on a time crunch, I highly recommend! They open at 7AM which is much earlier than most bakeries in the area (and super convenient), I will definitely order from them again!!

I'm not sure why, but I expected something different…read more The bakery is easy to miss. I didn't see a sign posted on the outside of the bakery. The store is located on the far left of the plaza. The interior is clean and minimal. When I came in the afternoon, there were no other customers. The bread selection seemed limited. I decided to pick up some señorita bread with cream cheese filling and Ube filling. The bread is soft and the filling is sweet. Other than the seniority bread, I wasn't sure what else to get here.

Hands down the best donuts and horchata coffee. This is a must stop for me everytime I'm in…read moreRiverside .They have a big variety of donuts and drinks. I had called very last minute the day of the World Series game for a special request and the girl who picked up the phone said right away "no problem, they will be ready in about an hour."

T-Swirl Crepe is such a convenient spot if you want something quick but still filling. The place…read moreitself is really spacious with plenty of seating, and they also have kiosks to order from which makes everything pretty easy and fast. My friends and I all got the Spicy Crabmeat savory crepe, and honestly I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first because this was my first time trying a savory crepe instead of a sweet one. But it completely surprised me in the best way possible. The crepe was packed with ingredients like crabmeat sticks, avocado, baby spinach, masago, seaweed salad, cucumber, edamame, crunchy shallots, spicy mayo, and sesame dressing, and everything worked really well together. It had a really fresh flavor from the vegetables and seaweed salad, while the spicy mayo and sesame dressing added a creamy, savory richness. The crunchy shallots also gave it a nice texture that made each bite more satisfying. It ended up feeling light but still really filling. The workers were really nice, and it was cool seeing that some of them were UCR students too, which made the place feel even more connected to the area and student community.

Best açaí spot in the entire world!…read more I found this place through positive reviews, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the açaí superfruit bowl, and it came loaded with toppings at no extra cost--unlike other places that charge about $1 per topping, which makes this well worth the price. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. I especially enjoyed the cocoa nibs, almonds, granola, fresh açaí, and fruit. The owner was very kind, sweet, professional, and quick. The interior was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with plenty of seating and a nice, cool atmosphere. Highly recommend giving this place a try--easily a 10/10, 5 stars!

I had been longing for a funnel cake for weeks, and today finally felt like the day to indulge. I hopped on Yelp, found the location, and drove 22 minutes to satisfy my craving, only to end up regretting the trip. It felt like a waste of both money and gas. Upon arrival, the guy informed us that he only had two funnel cakes left. I thought there might be enough batter for a couple more, but that was far from the truth. Those two cakes were just sitting there. He piled on the toppings and handed them over, but to my dismay, they were the worst funnel cakes I had ever tasted--burnt and fried in old oil. How could they even sell that? It was disgusting. We requested a refund for one, but my child insisted on keeping the other. Unfortunately, my kiddo soon realized it was burnt too, leaving us with a disappointing reminder of our wasted money, time, and gas. Never again. read more

Absolutely Delicious!!! I recently tried the funnel cakes from The Sweet Stop and they were amazing! The batter was perfectly crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I got mine topped with strawberries and powdered sugar and it was pure heaven. The service was super friendly. The smell alone was enough to make my mouth water while waiting. If you're looking for a delicious, classic fair-style treat, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Had a really good experience., I couldn't belive that I found a Funnel cake place outside of the fair or Knotts. And to top it off Hands down the best tasting funnel I've ever had. I watched as they make them fresh to order. The strawberries were also the perfect topper for the cake. If you see them it's worth the few minutes out of your time to go and get one. Also their fast and it doesn't take them long to get your order out to you. Thanks Sweet Stop, see you soon. read more

Used the sweet shop for a party and everything was great. Only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is there response time initially was long and I had to follow up with them several times. Food was delicious and would use again. read more
