Best accidental lunch experience ever! Finished up our Christmas shopping and wanted sushi. Stopped by to Tokoyo Garden, put ourselves on the waiting list and stepped next door to the Sweet Spot for a drink while we wait. Little did we know we would be cancelling our plans and returning for the best Ramen bowl I have ever experienced!!! So, a horrible lunch at Tokoyo Garden turned into a best lunchtime me as l and experience ar the Sweet Spot. This place swept my wife and I off of our feet with the absolute best service, ramen noodle bowl and mimosas we could ever ask for! We will make this our "date" place to eat. Plus, their deserts are just as tasty. A very sincere thank you for saving us from your 1 star neighbor.... By far, leaps and bounds the best tasting and authentic Ramen... Highly recommended and we can't wait to return. Amazing. read more

this place is so cute and a perfect desert spot. my first time here I got chocolate gelato, it was super rich and definitely tasted hand made. I got a small size, just one large scoop. the time I went also came with a free mini cupcake (: the shop is quite small, but has a good atmosphere. there's a large selection of deserts, and they all sounded great!! what's also really cool about this place is they also have breakfast burritos that I heard were very good, I'll definitely try one when I'm in Redding again. the bakery selection is also pretty good, it ranges from large baked goods to tiny mini cupcakes (the oreo is great!). the only down fall I found with this place was the price. :( it was over 10$ for two small orders of gelato. it is a small business so I guess that definitely reflects on how they price their food. will definitely come here again for desert or some take home goods! but definitely don't recommend this place for someone looking for an inexpensive sweet tooth satisfier. 4/5 stars because of the pricing read more

Update: I feel like we've lost some love here. Like, I don't feel as special as I used to here. Like, the prices have gone up but the good vibes have gone down. You were my favorite. My daughter's favorite. Tell me this is just a stage. And I'll put back that extra star. Old school: You had me at Sriracha aioli. But then you put it with tri-tip and cheddar with perfectly sweet peppers, tomato, and onion, and let me have it on a lettuce wrap. Inhaled it. To die for. Huge green salad with chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, plenty of croutons, shaved Parmesan, and a lovely balsamic vinaigrette. Perfect tangy vinegar to oil ratio. Cookies and cream milkshake made with... Wait for it... Heavy cream. Yes please. Chocolate porter greatly pleasing to the beer gods. (Then they blended it with chocolate gelato for a custom drink of epic proportions. "We can try that--I don't see why not..." And now we know WHY.) Maybe even the best ever tasted. And the music is just perfect. It didn't have to be. But it was. Are we in Portland? We were in heaven. read more

The everything rice bowl was amazing! I will for sure go back and try the ramen!! I would advise to add extra pork belly it only had about 4 pieces in it and it was so good! The egg was also amazing next time I will add 2! I would give 5 stars but the pork belly was stingy. read more

Came here on Memorial Day and the cupcakes were buy one get one. The cupcakes really were delicious. They tasted FRESH not prefrozen. Very moist and better than anticipated. Favorite was the Diva cup cake. I also tried the almond croissant which was dam near perfect. Perfect flakiness. A tad more almond paste would have been great but it was excellent. Also had the lemon bar. Which is 4 bucks but it's huuuge. The crust was pretty average the lemond part was delicious. We tried The Salted Caramel Gelato as well as Cookies n Cream.... So delicious! Creamy and rich without the overly sugary flavor you find elsewhere. Lastly, I ordered and iced Americano which was really really good. I could actually taste and smell the espresso, deff one of the better coffee beverages I've had around these parts. Service was EXCELLENT. I didn't feel rushed and the woman working was very friendly and pleasant to interact with. After Relocating from the bay area, it's been tough to find dining expiriences that have delicious food and great service. This place restored my faith I hope they keep it up. read more

This place was so cute. Its a great little spot for a last minute date night. The gelato is fantastic. read more

Stopped in during a road trip to Oregon, so we weren't expecting much. But I had a BLT that was absolutely delightful. Lightly toasted bread , tasty Apollo, tomato and bacon in good harmony so you taste everything! read more

My two visits yielded very different opinions. I liked the products and the customer service was great on my first visit. Today, not so much... I got an employee completely lacking basic customer service skills. I presented the cashier with a coupon (2 for $6 for two gelatos). The coupon was still valid until the end of December. She informed me that the current deal she had programmed in the system was 2 for $7. I asked if she could do a price adjustment (like they did a week ago). She refused. I asked if she would waive the price of one of the $1 mini cupcakes I was buying. She refused. I was shocked at how rude she was. She gave me a lot of attitude and treated me as though I was asking for so much! It isn't about the money, but I gave her two opportunities to do the right thing. I reluctantly paid the higher price. Then she walked off without bagging the gelatos or even giving me spoons and I had to lean over the counter to get some spoons. Good products, terrible customer service at 8:30 p.m. on 11/27/17. read more

I brought my granny here for lunch on a hot summer day. It had been a rough week due to loss in the family and we wanted to get out and smile. We were greeted by each staff member as soon as we walked in the door. We tried the gelato and each flavour tested fresh. It was so hard to choose, because they were all good! I mixed chocolate and lemon meringue and people it was crazy good. Grams ate every bite of the red velvet. We split a lemon rosemary cookie and this savoury/sweet oatmeal cookie. It was so good we decided to stay for lunch. We sat down at a table and took in the decorations and cozy space. We asked the manager for suggestions and decided on the pesto chicken sandwich and miso ramen with added dumplings to it. The ingredients were excellent quality and put together well. That bone broth was rich and tasty. We were not disappointed. We had so much food left, we had it again for dinner. We will definitely be back. And thank you to the staff for brightening our day. read more

Good ice cream, more like gelato. Exotic flavors. Had chocolate and some guava/strawberry, not cheap but for the quality OK. Bonus was 2 musicians in the side room, playing. read more

A nice little bakery just off the CA44 with a good selection of pastries. I got a mix as I headed to the office for the team and the little girl was kind enough to describe each item as it went in the box A blueberry lemon Danish , chocolate banana pop up and a blueberry citrus scone all artfully done and very tasty. read more

We had my daughters 3rd birthday in the back room you can reserve and it went amazing. The food was great and the service was exceptional. All the kids got to decorate their own cupcakes and got frosting mustaches lol. The young lady helping us was so awesome and good with the kids. Everyone had a blast! I would definitely recommend read more

We usually come for ramen but tonite we ordered the Caprese grilled cheese and the special pasta and it did not disappoint. Excellent as always read more

We love all the goodies from Sweet Spot! Everything I've ever had here is great from the gelato to cookies to breakfast sandwiches but the cupcakes are my favorite! read more

I wish there was an option for 3 1/2 stars. This place has great treats. I love the fact that I can do things like get a single serving size of a cheesecake. However, on the evening I was here, the place was a madhouse. There were not clear lines for service. There was one by the pastry case and what appeared to be a mob/line by the cash register and ice cream. It was complete and utter chaos. The place is a little pricey as well. I don't mind paying for quality, but these are darn near LA prices. While the ice cream and treats we got were good, the insanity to navigate the weird lines was almost not worth it. I'll definitely be back but it's definitely not a place I would visit regularly based on the expense alone. read more

Sweet Spot is a gem. They have gelato, cheesecakes in mason jars, brownies, cupcakes, coffee and cookies. They also have buy one get one free pastries after 5pm which is a major plus. I recently found out that they have vegan donuts! They occasionally have chefs come in and cook more savory types of food on the weekends. And they occasionally have entertainment and live music. The space itself is super unique and has about 3 separate rooms. The front room right when you walk in has a kids space behind the counter. To your right, is the bar/entertainment space. And if you walk all the way past the restrooms, there's another, more secluded room, in the back. If you order a cheesecake, you get to keep the mason jar. And if you bring the mason jar back (washed I assume!) you get a discount on your next sweet treat. read more

Love this place, people are great + so is the atmosphere. Not to mention their delectable little desserts! This last time I went I got to try their gelato. So good and as cute as their dessert in a little quarter glass mason jar. You can ask for a lid and take your jar home! Extra treat to go! They had a musician come play and serenade the crowd as well! Very relaxing and great space for conversation! Go check'em out!! read more

Wow ten stars for Allen our server! He was warm and funny, attentive and patient, and wisely told me that the ramen I ordered would be too spicy: "1 ha a pretty good kick, 2 is spicier than sriracha, 3 is fire" so I ordered a 1 and it was perfect! The ramen noodles aren't classic ramen noodles but they and the broth were delicious and perfect for a cold winter night. Didn't hurt that I had really great company with my friend, and the live music added to the ambience! What earned my loyalty was Allen's thoughtful service - he was attentive but not intrusive, remembered that my friend had an egg allergy and made sure to check if the dumplings he ordered would be tolerated because egg is used to bind the dumplings...etc. What an enjoyable experience! And the cherry on the cake was that Allen brought us dessert on the house - a chia mango coconut pudding for my friend ("it's egg-free" he said to my friend) and a chocolate cupcake for me! What a sweetheart! He joked and joshed with us all night, and he made our experience so fun and special. Love this place and will be back to explore more of the menu! read more

I've been taking my Grandkids and family to Sweet spot since it first opened located by Chuck e cheese. I've always gotten great customer service, even with request for extra frosting on top of Birthday Cake Gelato! Today my Grandson and I went in for a treat after school, ordered birthday cake for him...and she scooped underneath the birthday cake topping... WHAT!!! Who does that ... so I said "you missed the birthday cake portion." She stated we scoop from the bottom... Ummm ... NO! I told her she could keep it. Not wanting to disappoint my boy we still ordered his Unicorn Poop and my lemon...I really wanted to walk out. Her customer service reflected in her non-tip! I'm a paying customer, we could have gone to The Cookie Jar but we chose Sweet spot. All she needed to do is add a little frosting and sprinkles on top... I'm so tired of young works acting like they could give two F@%$# about customers and just want a check. Needless to say...Unhappy Customers. read more

Food used to be delicious... a little overpriced but definitely ok paying it for the good food and treats available. Rating it 3 stars because they changed their baked goods. Used to order cheesecakes all the time but they were in glass mason jars making it worth the price and very tasty. Now they serve the cheesecake in cupcake wrappers and a paper cup. Went two day ago to get them and I'm not sure if they changed the recipe but the cheesecakes were gross. One third of the cup was filled with unsweetened whip cream and you couldn't eat the crust with pulling out pieces of cupcake paper wrapper. Hope this is temporary for loss of funds during COVID. Hope the owner notices this review and says they have plans to change back! Was a number one fan! But won't be returning as there is limited selection and my favorites have been altered It still gets 2 stars for customer service!!! I think the soup there is pretty good still too. read more

I visited this place for the first time a few days ago with my boss. Living in a new town, I am eager to try new places to eat. Sweetspot has an inviting atmosphere with friendly staff. The salad I ordered was delicious! Customers pick their own ingredients which all taste so fresh! I hear the Ramen bowl is delicious too. They also have an amazing selection of desserts! I spoiled myself with their Diva cupcake. It had a white buttercream frosting and caramel filling inside the cupcake. It was so Devine! I definitely see myself returning to Sweetspot on a regular basis. Don't take my word for it... you have to go there yourself! read more

Their half and half is amazing. It's never cheap but it is worth the price they charge. You have to add the egg and dumplings.

This place is over priced and so not worth it. Positive note they due have some good sweets. But like I said they are way over priced. Not sure how they keep the doors open with these kinda prices. We are in Redding not Beverly Hills or Hollywood read more

Bad service, never come back and not much selection of sweets. Brew small coffee is way too small.

Their Ramen is so good as well as I love their personal cheesecakes and gelato. They are still offering it to go while their indoor dining is closed. read more

What I love, is that the service is great and the food is amazing. What I don't like, is they are horribly over priced! They should not charge for items for for their separately. Because of that, sadly, I don't go as often as I would like. read more

I ordered Cappuccino here and it was amazingly good. The "chocoholic" cupcake was nice too. read more

Ordered a dozen cupcakes for delivery over the phone with Destiny--she was incredibly nice and patient with me while I made my order. I also added a bunch of requests for the delivery, and they were super accommodating. And my friend said the cupcakes were delicious! I'd highly recommend Sweetspot not only for its cupcakes, but its treat delivery to make someone's day! read more

I like this spot but I have a little feedback for the owner. I was there today with my 9 year old daughter who loves ramen. I can't justify spending $13.00 on a bowl I know she is only going to get halfway through at best. Can you please offer a smaller or kid size ramen? We ended up sharing a bowl but they won't split in half for you in the kitchen and there's hardly enough broth for two bowls. They said I could order more broth in the front but that meant I had to go stand in line and pay for more while my soup sat there getting cold... just kind of disappointing. Why not offer a charge for a shared bowl and let me know in advance? Also if you know you are bringing two bowls for someone sharing it would be nice to have two spoons, I had to get up and wait to get a second spoon as there were none to be found anywhere for me to serve myself with. The ramen is delicious and I really like the vibe here but I hope the owner will take these service items into consideration. read more

LOOOVE our noodle nights and the live music. We have made this an every other week tradition! Well, I did love this place till we bought 5 meals and they made me put away my Panda Express because I am eating healthier and wanted my veggies and chicken. They said they make their own food so they dont allow other food in. Literally has never been a problem when we have beought Tokyo Garden in. Really disappointed especially considering food allergies and intolerance. Probably will never come back. read more

Guessing by the name they specialize in sweet treats. However we were there for the newest Raman in Redding. Chose to try the Dumpling Broth Bowl. Dumplings were very good, ingredients in the bowl were tasty but the broth had no flavor. Tasted just like warm water. Both my wife and I would have preferred some sort of yummy flavor to compliment the rest of the swimming goodies. Something savory is what I was expecting, maybe with a little sweet, or maybe a little heat. Either way it would have made for a more delightful treat. read more

Sweetspot is a unique buiness that caters to two very different types of crowds. On one side of the business is dessert focused that's very accommodating to families with children on the other side adults can enjoy a drink. I stayed on the sweet side and enjoyed a B1G1 free cupcake (Monday special). "The diva" cupcake was excellent. read more

This place is a mashup of a bar, eatery, and dessert shop. Cali-pop type music and alot of seating. Solid flatbread pizzas (though small) and good blueberry cheesecake bar pastry + reeses peanut butter cup gelato. Interesting vibe there,not sure what it is to be exact... read more

I really enjoy this place. Not only are the sweets great but so is the service. The owner and staff are great people to be around. Now what really attracts me to this place... Salsa Dancing... Salsa dancing usually takes place here on Wednesday nights typically from 7pm - 9:30pm... Sometimes a bit later. Great place to unwind and have fun. The people here are relaxed and so is the atmosphere. No drunken brawls here. I have made many personal friends here. My sons (when in their 20's) learned to Salsa Dance here. read more

Yummy yummy ramen and rice bowl!!! Love the sweets especially the cheesecake lemon gelato!

Oh how I miss you Sweetspot, especially on a Redding-sick day! Savory, sweet and frozen treats PLUS made-to-order pizzas, beer and wine in adjacent space?! I remember almost camping out at the store, getting 3 meals by grazing through the delicacies when I was in town last. I'm picky about croissants but you nailed the basic versions... and the savory danish style treats... forgot their names, my camera didn't get a chance to "eat" before I did... You are icing on the cake for Redding, can't wait to see you again! read more

So i used to really enjoy this place but its too loud and crowded now. It took almost 25 minutes to even get anyone to pay attention to us. My husband had to get up and go to the bar to order, food is eh, we couldn't enjoy our dinner because the table next to us was so loud. We left without finishing our drinks and ate as fast as possible so we could get out of the noise. Won't be going back. read more

Well I had been wanting to try the Ramen here for quite some time. I will freely admit the Ramen was very good. The food actually came out quicker than it took me to order. There was a young man there that was exceptional. I wish I had gotten his name. He was helpful and very nice. However; the rest of the service and lack of caring on the majority of the staff was unbelievable. 1. Had to find someone to take our order. 2. No chicken broth (Amazing for a noodle shop)but they had chicken so go figure. No notice anywhere until you go to order and then it was I think we're out, let me go ask. 3. Trying to be charged extra for chicken instead of pork because of 2 and then having to go ask about it. 4. Never getting told that I had to order and pay at the bar for wine. 5. Asking a server standing next to the napkins (she was standing in front of it), where are the napkins and she points at it and says right here and walks off. 6. Having to hunt down a bartender for wine. The concept of desert, wine and noodles is great but if you don't have staff that can pull it off............. read more
