    Custard cake bar

    I can't believe I haven't rated this place already. This is one of my favorite bakeries and I have visited their old location (a little further north) and now they are located behind chevron gas station. I have placed an order online (24 hours ahead) and also walked in to pick up cupcakes last minute. They usually have a nice selection with seasonal flavors. I love their cupcakes. They are not too sweet and every flavor I have tried is delicious. I also love the unique Asian flavors. The cupcakes itself is also very moist. Everyone enjoyed it. Every one that has helped me has been so nice! I'll be back!

    taro and thai tea

    first i wanna talk about the service. i came in for a big uber eats order, only to find the cutest bakery shop filled with unique asian flavors cupcakes!! After my order my plan was to come back and get some to tryout, thats when (im pretty sure the owner) seen how excited i was to see they had a TARO & THAI TEA flavored cupcake the sweetest guy let me try them because its more than a bakery, its about community!! the energy to bake and perfecting these tasty treats just shows me how much love goes into them the cupcakes were PERFECT!! not to sweet just how i like them, i was even able to eat the frosting all the way without getting a sugar rush! overall 100/10 experience i will be back soon thank you!! taro 10/10 (the flavor, phenomenal) thai 9/10 (so good taste just like thai tea) service 1000/10 (awesome crew) ambiance 10/10 (smelled so good inside)

    Whenever I am craving something sweet but not too overly sweet I come to the sweet spot. The place is a cute little hidden gem for your cupcake craving's. They also offer cake bars and beverages. Whenever I go there, I always get their Vietnamese ice coffee, which I highly recommend. They do offer preordered whole cakes in different flavors.The staff is always very friendly and helpful and willing to answer any questions.

    Hands down the best cupcakes in the area. The cupcakes are moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. They also have many special flavors that others don't have. Our favorites are Thai tea, red bean, milk tea, and Jasmin tea flavor.

    Flavors like orange dreamsicle, pistachio, mint, Pandan, banana pudding, taro, red bean and more!

    This bakery is one of my favorites in town! They are known for their authentic Asian flavored cupcakes and cakes. I've tried 17 different cupcake flavors here and there wasn't one I didn't like. I'm a durian lover so my go to is their durian cake for family gatherings. I even went in last minute on a Saturday to see what kind of cake I could get last minute and I lucked out with a durian cake that they already had available. Typically you have to order cakes at least 72 hours in advance and cupcakes at least 24 hours in advance. The easiest way to order is online via their website. To me their desserts are the right balance of fluffiness and sweetness! Location wise, this place can be easy to miss so keep an eye out for the plaza with a Chevron gas station and China Garden restaurant. They are located on the left end of the plaza next to a dry cleaners. Inside is cute and clean and the staff and chef are always so friendly. Also don't forget to treat yourself to their Vietnamese iced coffee!

    Best cupcakes I have ever tried! The cake is super moist and the frosting is so light and fluffy. All of it has the perfect balance of sweetness for someone who's not a fan of the grocery store bought cakes. Only thing is you have to refrigerate or the frosting will melt. Not only the texture, the flavors are unique with Asian inspired ones. Each time I go I get different flavors, so I've tried most of the Asian inspired ones. I love how the flavors never loses itself in the cake or frosting. I recommend the Thai Tea and Lychee ones! The bakery is in a plaza with other shops around. It's a cute small store front. When you walk in you can easily see the cupcakes on display. The staff is super nice when it comes to any questions.

    I'm a huge fan of the Sweet Spot Bakery! I was first introduced a few years ago but haven't actively been going until this past year for different occasions for friends and family. We typically get the cupcakes so we can get a little bit of everything but the cakes are also very good if you are a one flavor enthusiast. They specialize in gourmet cakes and cupcakes, with a focus on unique asian flavors that you typically don't find at your run of the mill bakery. Flavors I got included pandan, taro, banana, thai tea, lychee, passion fruit, coffee, and my all-time favorite, jasmine tea! The cupcakes were perfectly moist and of course not too sweet and everything we tried hit the spot Cupcakes run close to $3 each but I can promise you they are worth every penny! Just picked up another box of 12 for my boyfriend's birthday with some new flavors we haven't tried yet (red bean, milk tea, black sesame, almond) and are looking forward to them

    In my opinion this is the best place in the Atlanta area for gourmet cupcakes. The cupcakes are soft, moist, and flavored with real fruit. The frosting is made with cream so it is really soft and not too sweet, it's perfect! You can find the Sweet Spot in a small shopping plaza in Duluth with free parking directly in front of the store. You can walk in or place an order in advance. You will find so many unique flavors here and they also change things up once in a while and add seasonal flavors. In addition to cupcakes they also make cakes, online cake orders cutoff 72 hours prior to the day of pickup.   Need to know - cupcakes must be kept refrigerated and can maintain at room temperature for up to 2 hours. Container sizes come in counts of 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12. Online cupcake orders are cutoff one day prior to the day of pickup.   On to the good stuff... I ordered 6 cupcakes this visit for a total of $14.94, not including tax or tip. It was a difficult decision, I ordered; Taro, orange creamsicle, peach, Thai tea, and two lychee cupcakes. The Lychee and Taro are my favorite. The banana cream pie was also delicious. Each cupcake is only $2.49.   Service - was okay   Shop - is very clean, cupcakes are organized and labeled so it's easy to order.   This is my favorite cupcake shop and I will definitely be back again.

    Light and fluffy cupcakes with nontraditional flavors (but with Southeast Asian roots). As with most Asian baked goods, the cupcakes weren't too sweet. Most, if not all, cupcakes have cream in the middle of the cupcakes. Flavors: - Mango - Thai tea - Banana cream pie: one of the strongest fruit flavors of them all - Pandan: my favorite! - Taro - Durian: the consensus there was a stronger butter flavor than durian. We were told you can freeze the cupcakes up to 5 days. We froze ours and defrosted them in the fridge during the day. I think I prefer eating them like this slightly more than eating them at room temperature (which we had done previously). They do sell cakes in addition of cupcakes but only the best selling flavors and they don't personalized.

    Green Tea Matcha, Mango, Taro, Lychee, Milk Tea, Spice Chai. Pumpkin   So so so delicious!!!

    Had a craving for cupcakes and Sweet Spot did not disappoint. Got the lychee mango matcha Taro and their new flavor BLACK SESAME cupcakes as well as the Vietnamese coffee to Go. The absolutely best and such fluffy deliciousness. Fast and so friendly service.

    Mango and strawberry cupcakes. The strawberry had a jam filling. Both were so good!

    Don't wait, don't hesitate, just come here! Zero regrets other than not buying one of each!! All I can say is their cupcakes are so moist, so fresh, and so flavorful. There's a flavor for everyone. If you are a foodie looking for taro or lychee, or someone with a simplistic taste, there's chocolate and strawberry... The Sweet Spot has it figured out. I just picked up Thai Tea, Passionfruit, Lychee, Cookies and Cream, Avocado, and Pistachio. Surprise your family with a special treat or sneak one for yourself. You'll be happy that you did. This is in Duluth off Peachtree Industrial Blvd. Easy to find and park. You can even order online and have it ready when you arrive.

    These are my favorite cupcakes I've ever had, and I'm not even typically someone who enjoys eating cupcakes. Any time I have guests in town, this is my default dessert to buy for them. The flavors are VERY exact to what their supposed to be. If you ate one without knowing the flavor, you'd know what flavor it is as soon as you bite into it. It's very impressive how they have such a variety of flavors and still could make each one so exact and good. I also love that their cupcakes aren't too sweet and have the perfect amount of icing on top. Normally I have to scoop off some icing from my cupcakes because it's too sweet or overbearing. Sweet spot is perfect amount in quantity and sweetness. It's enough that you can get the sense of the flavor, but not too much that you wouldn't want to finish the whole thing. Their flavors are also truly a variety. I've only had the Asian flavors because I felt like those are the most unique, but I've loved every single flavor I've tried. I believe their lychee is the best flavor, but I've tried the Thai tea, jasmine tea, milk tea, pandan (this one is an insanely exact match to how pandan tastes), taro, sweet red bean, and matcha. All amazing.

    No instant cavities here! It's sprinkling out, and cupcakes add sunshine to this gloomy day. I arrived right as the bakery opened (10 am weekdays) and rang the bell for service. The owners are following safety protocols, which I appreciate. There is a table outside where you can fill out your order on a slip of paper, complete with cupcake flavors and pricing. The gentleman came out, offered a warm greeting and suggested flavors as I considered the unique options. He took my payment at the door and delivered the cupcakes to my car faster than I could choose my next Spotify playlist. I'm excited to deliver these cupcakes to my friend for her birthday! Thanks for making the day a special one. Location: Easy parking in a small plaza. Hard to miss...It's right next door to Keep It Sexy nail spa!

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

I decided on the Crème Brûlée Croffle it was delicious and will definitely return and order that flavor again. I can understand why the Crème Brûlée is the best seller. There's plenty of spacious seating inside, this is an overall place to come study or meet up and talk for a girls afternoon out over matcha or coffee. I also ordered mango matcha and I did not like it very much as it was not sweet at all. The young lady said she could adjust the sweetness. It didn't work for me this time so I'll try it again my next visit and stress that I'd like it sweetened a lot little more than the usual sweetness. UPDATE: Earlier I said I didn't like my Mango Matcha, now I have to change that once I put the straw in my cut and stirred the matcha it was delicious. I didn't realize I shouldn't drink it from the cup without stirring first. I feel so silly now. I changed my four stars to five stars and a newbie like me now will know to stir the matcha first. I received an awards card after ten stamps I believe I get a free item. Sounds fun. Parking is not a problem there's plenty. I can't wait to visit here again.
