Mother's Day night and my wife wanted a nice dessert. I looked on Yelp and found Butter Cup Bakery Cafe. Neither of us had been here. The reviews and pictures looked amazing so off we went. It's in what's called the Miracle Mile shopping area in Vero Beach. Very nice storefront, we were immediately greeted and welcomed once inside. A lovely display case filled with delectable looking cakes and cupcakes. Next to that was a cooler with various exotic flavors of gelato. My wife got the fudge brownie and I got the vanilla coconut. Both out of this world and like the Reese's old commercial together they tasted amazing. We also ordered a strawberry cupcake with white frosting and topped with coconut and a sliced strawberry on top. Looked and tasted wonderful. So, if you're a dessertaholic like I am and you haven't been...GO! read more

Visiting the city and in the mood for a late-day run for desserts... I searched for ice cream shops near my hotel, and Butter Cup Bakery Cafe was open late and close to my area. I arrived and greeted kindly. The shop offers pastries as well as gelato. After trying a few samples, I selected a smooth, fruity gelato. read more

Nice young lady behind the counter. Great location, close to lots of shopping. Clean space. :)) We had a slice of Chocolate Cake and of Lemon Cake, which we shared. The cake was good, the icing was rich! Prices were right for the area and the niche. Satisfied our sweet tooth which was the point. :)) Thank you Buttercup Bakery! You can trust me, I love a good sweet after a meal. ;D read more

We found this perfect place on our way back to our condo! My husband had the Affogato and the rest of us had regular gelato, but this was nothing but regular. It was delicious, although a bit pricey, but worth the money spent. We also appreciated that the counter server was extremely friendly and gave adequate time to sample before making our selection. read more

Very disappointed! I wanted to bring something special to a friend so waited Sunday until they opened. Extremely limited choices. When I asked the lady why, she said bakers were off for a week. Should have left right away! Purchased slices of chocolate cake, red velvet and a slice of banana pistachio loaf.. ALL were stale and had no taste. What a waste of money! read more

2nd time with new owners. Cakes and ice cream are great. Service was so so. The staff seemed annoyed when I asked about the cakes. Ice cream same. She's blessed to have great desserts to offer. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 The food at Sweet Kiss is incredible! The flavors are always jammed backed with taste and the texture is silky smooth just like gelato should be. I do think the flavor offerings at sweet kiss could be improved as I feel that they are too simple or too over done. When this storefront first opened, I believe they had a better offering of flavors. I would caution folks that they do not offer traditional flavors of gelato so be open minded when trying this location. The quality of their food though is unmet! The cannoli was pipped fully and the small gelato is more than enough and filled about the brim line. Service: This is where Sweet Kiss truly shines! Their employees were willing to provide us with as many samples as requested, answered any questions about ingredients, and did not make us feel rushed in any way. Ambiance: I think Sweet Kiss could improve on the ambiance. While the inside is kept clean, the store is modern and a lot of printed out sides regarding their food options, which could be consolidated. Overall, I think Sweet Kiss is an ice cream shop folks in Vero Beach should try out! read more

Great little food store with Gelato and some very, very limited bakery items . I had a Panini that was made fresh and very tasty. The gelato in a cannoli shell was very, very good. I have had better cannoli shells but it was definitely good. You get a good amount of food with your sandwich and makes it an outstanding value with a drink included too. The help was extremely helpful and she made sandwich and lunch while you wait. Don't expect it instantly as it's prepared to order. Well worth the wait. read more

On the suggestion of my coworker, she swore by this place as the best gelato in town. Since I've had a good amount of Gelato, I was wondering how good it was. And to be honest for my taste (and if you know/have read my reviews, I don't have a sweet tooth), it's on the sweet side. I mean, all of the gelato flavors were on the sweet side. For that, I couldn't find any flavors that went along with my taste and I can't say that I'm a fan of this place. However, this gelato spot has played the heart strings of the town and I can see why. The gelato itself was creamy, the serving size was generous, and the price of it wasn't bad. There was wide selection of flavors and the owner seemed pretty popular with everyone. But for me and what I've had in the gelato space, this place was just alright. I've had better. But for this town, this place should be treasured. It's something different and I'm sure can quench some of the Florida heat. read more

Sweet Kiss has wonderful gelato; it's our favorite ice cream place in Vero Beach. Luckily for a lactose intolerant person like me they always have a few vegan options as well. The vegan chocolate gelato is great but not always available; usually the vegan options are made with fruit. The owners are very friendly. I don't know about the rest of the menu as the other items are fairly new and I have not tried anything yet. read more

Delicious gelato! Stopped here after reading such great reviews on Yelp. My expectations were high and sweet kiss did not disappoint! The staff was so friendly and helpful. They explained what their available flavors were and allowed sampling as well. Hubs and I ordered a medium cup each with 2 different flavors and they piled the gelato over the bowl. We def plan on returning before our vacation is over since they have different flavors daily. read more

Voted the best ice cream parlor in 2018 and it did not disappoint. There was a group of 11 of us and each of us received 3-4 samples. Their service was great and the gelato was outstanding. It was not too sweet like many ice creams are, but still had enough sweetness with the perfect amount of flavor. I was told the chocolate one was very rich but still very good and not overbearing. I had the whiskey sweet cream with mannacotta on top of that. Phenomenal flavor, highly recommend! read more

Omg my taste buds are so happy right now! Glad I looked on Yelp and found this place instead of going to the humdrum custard place. The flavors change frequently, daily for sure and sometimes during the day. I got the Forever Love which was chocolate with peanut butter. My friends got WOW and the Mandarinette which was vegan and so refreshing. The two girls working were helpful and sweet. My thighs are happy I don't live near here because I would not have the self control to stay away. But when I'm in town I will definitely check out the daily flavors and get my fix. If you like ice cream you need to try out this place. Gelato is healthier so you have no excuse! read more

I had a disheartening experience last night at a place I always liked, Sweet Kiss Ice Cream, Inc. This is what happened last night: Sweet Kiss has always been one of my favorite places to go for gelato...the gelato is excellent with unique flavors. Now for the rest of the story: We arrived at 6:30 PM and there was a line to get into the store, which is unusual as the service has always been prompt. However, on this visit a gentleman was cleaning the front of the display case...taking his time...so every customer was put "on hold." Everyone was eyeing each other as if to say I can't believe this is happening! The bottom line is I won't be back to an establishment that doesn't value their customers. read more

Best gelato I've had to date! Tastes pretty darn near identical if you were to buy gelato off the streets in Italy. I love how the menu gets changed up on the daily, and the friendly staff are very helpful in providing info on each gelato flavor and what its made with. You get to sample whichever flavors you want which is also super helpful (and maybe makes decision making a bit more difficult lol). So far my main favorites are the Ferrero Rocher and the Kookie napolitan(?). The best part I love that they offer are the vegan/gluten-free options as my husband cannot have any wheat or dairy, so for him being able to enjoy such a treat makes his week! Reviewers, I highly recommemd you try their espresso! WOW. Organic coffee that has such a unique flavor I'm completely obsessed and will need to purchase a whole bag myself. read more

Sweet Kiss was suggested to me as the best gelato in town, and after having gone I wholeheartedly agree. It was oppressively hot the day I went, and Sweet Kiss rescued me! I ordered the Ferrero Rocher chocolate flavor, expecting it to be too rich to finish, but it wasn't! It was the perfect balance of chocolate. I also had a scoop of the Amarreto with coconut. Blended perfectly with the Ferrero but I probably wouldn't order it again. The space is very quaint- excellent for a catch up with a friend or even studying/working. read more

Gelato in Vero Beach?! YES - that is correct!! We came to Vero Beach for a weekend and found this little gem hidden in a plaza. It was literally hidden cause its not in a very good location as its further behind the plaza in front of these parking spaces. I tried the strawberry and mango. Both were really creamy and thick but not too sweet. I could taste the mango and strawberry. I also tasted something that called the opera?? or something that had nutella and chocolate and wafers in it. It was all very good. I guess if you happen to be around this area and am looking for dessert, I totally recommend coming here. read more

Cute place for delicious gelato. The staff were friendly. The gelato was so creamy and tasty. You can sample the flavors before deciding on the flavor(s) that you want. You have the option of getting half and half if you cannot make a decision between 2 flavors or if you want to be creative. It is a small place so not a lot of space to spread out if you want to eat in. Overall, we had a great experience! read more

No idea how this place has such high reviews. Staff were not happy or friendly. They just said hi like their mom forced them to say it. My fiancé got the small cup of gelato. Flavor was good but for $6.00 for a scoop of gelato...?! We're the cows that supplied the milk massaged everyday and fed hand grown grass from the alps? Plus if you look under the small cup the bottom is raised another quarter inch so it's even less than you think it is! Now I am a crepe lover. I've eaten crepes all over and this place was the second most expensive crepe and the #1 worst tasting. First crepe i couldn't finish and for $13! Don't even try the whole "best ingredients" card...if i am going to eat a crepe i want the best tasting crepe. I don't care what's in it, it's dessert not a salad. I hope this review saves someone from driving an hour to try this place and not make the same mistake i did. read more

Love all the flavors they come out with. And it's nice that they rotate the selection so you can try different kinds on different occasions. My favorite is the Mediterranean flavor with candied orange peels inside. So good! read more

Sweet kiss was quaint and cute! I got the peanut butter (was hoping for the ferrero rocher) but I didn't see it and my boyfriend got the berry vegan flavor. Both were very good. I gave the place 4 stars because it was on the more expensive side, for two smalls it was 11$ not including tip. Would return again read more

Great place for authentic tasting gelato! No crazy colored gelatos or gelato covered in unnatural toppings. Service was very friendly and we were offered samples on our first visit to help identify the flavors we enjoyed most. Atmosphere makes you feel like you are in Italy if only for a moment. read more

I went there for dinner and a nice lady seated at a table told me she recommended one particular dish. When I asked about my favorite gelato flavor the owner was very unpleasant and berated me in front of other customers. It was also outrageously expensive. The flavors they have are all really weird and the staff made me feel I wasn't welcome. read more

I am a self proclaimed ice cream snob and I'm telling you all that this is the BEST gelato/ice cream place I've ever tried! If you are in the Central Florida region it is worth the drive. I had a flavor that included chocolate, orange, yogurt and cookies ... well I truthfully had two flavors. The second one was mom's favorite and it was a taste sensation. I need to return soon to try the Raspberry Rendezvous but a gal can only eat so much in a day. My kids were begging me to take them back for desert after dinner. I just might return twice in one day. The staff was incredibly helpful, courteous, patient and very supportive of our need to sample several flavors. The ambience and atmosphere was fun, casual yet classy. Love, love, love this place. And if all this wasn't enough they had clean restrooms. read more
