5 of 5 sonic-screwdrivers! Stepping into this bakery in Olde Towne Portsmouth feels a bit like…read morestepping into the TARDIS; you think you're just popping in for a small treat, but suddenly you're swept into a whole other dimension of flavor. Hello Sweetie, indeed! The cheesecakes? Bigger on the inside. They look like ordinary slices at first glance, but one bite and you realize they've managed to pack the richness of an entire galaxy into a single forkful. The giant cookies? Let's just say they could rival the size of a Dalek's ego--perfect for anyone who believes regeneration is best done with chocolate chips. We visited for a friend's birthday, guided there by the mysterious algorithm (clearly the bakery has some Time Lord tech helping with marketing), and it was absolutely the right timeline to land in. The vibe is welcoming, the sweets are out of this world, and it feels like a fixed point in time you won't want to alter. Whether you're a companion in search of adventure or just someone looking for a sweet escape, make the trip. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you across all of time and space.

You can get your little treat, hang out and vibe. The sad thing is, this will be their last week here in this location. They will be moving into a food truck. Be on the lookout for the location of their food truck.

Always take a peek at their Instagram first to see what's on the menu which will make things so much easier when it's time to order. There's also a few chairs and tables if you want to sip on your matcha or coffee while eating your delicious danish. Bathroom is always clean and there's usually light music playing in the background.

I visited Ginger's Sweets for their Bob's Burgers-inspired event, and it was such a fun concept!…read moreThey had several themed drinks and treats, along with their regular menu items. For the Bob's Burgers-inspired items, I tried the Hugo's Cheddar Hot Dog Croissant, which was definitely my favorite. It was a hot dog with cheese inside a croissant, and the flavor was really good. My only complaint is that everything was served room temperature. I really wish they had warmed it up because I honestly think it would have taken it to another level. A warm, flaky croissant with the melted cheese and hot dog would have been amazing. I also tried the Dutch Baby Cruffin. It was a cruffin with a filling inside (I'm guessing something like vanilla), but the flavor wasn't very strong to me. It wasn't bad it gave what it was supposed to give but it wasn't my favorite. Again, I think warming it up would have made a difference. For non-Bob's Burgers items, I tried the banana pudding cookie, and the dill pickle focaccia. The banana pudding cookie was good and tasted like banana pudding should. The dill focaccia wasn't really my favorite. It wasn't something I would go back specifically for, but I do think it could have been better heated up instead of being served cold/room temperature. For drinks, I tried the Marshmallow Blueberry Latte, which had house-made blueberry and marshmallow syrup, espresso, milk of choice, vanilla bean cold foam, and glitter. My sister tried the Gene's Chunky Blastoff Latte, which she described as tasting like chocolate milk mixed with coffee. Now, my latte was interesting. Personally, I did not love the blueberry flavor, but that is completely based on my own taste preferences. However, I will say the drink itself was actually a GOOD latte. The flavor was there. This is something I struggle with at a lot of coffee shops--places will advertise flavors like blueberry pie, cookies and cream, etc., and the drink just tastes like bitter coffee with milk and sugar. That was not the case here. You could actually taste the blueberry. I just personally didn't love that flavor combination. Someone who loves blueberry would probably really enjoy it. I would definitely come back and try another latte because I have confidence that they know how to make flavorful coffee. The shop itself was cute, clean, and had nice decor. There was enough seating, although it was busy when we went on a Saturday morning around 10 AM (not sure if that is typical or if it was because of the themed treats). There wasn't a line, but there were a lot of people inside, and we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Since they opened at 7 AM, some of the Bob's Burgers items were already sold out, so if you're coming for a special event, I would recommend going early. Overall, I think Ginger's Sweets makes good desserts and good coffee. I also like that they do themed events beyond just Bob's Burgers, like their upcoming Twilight-inspired event. It's a cute place to visit if you enjoy creative treats, themed events, and fun coffee drinks. I would definitely return to try more of their menu!
