    Champurrado iced coffee and the stuffed concha
    Betsy G.

    It's always amazingly delicious, they have an awesome array of options from coffee to baked goods. They have the best banana pudding, cheesecakes, and omg the best tres leches. We ordered a stuffed concha and holy moly. It has the best texture, sweetness and tartness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is always great and the place is cute to catch up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Def check it out

    Corn cup
    Christian M.

    The advertised corn cup on their billboard is about 2/3rd smaller. Six dollars for a cups worth of corn is robbery. They don't tell you at purchase or on the sign that it's smaller. Lattes are eight dollars for a large. That's insane. They also sell AI generated things here from third party sellers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Two stars because it has a nice AC system.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    After a busy day of sightseeing in San Marcos, my visiting friend was in desire of some tea, not coffee, but tea. So I opened up Yelp and just a few stores down we found The Sweet Spot. After speaking with the owner, my friend decided on the Mexican Hot Chocolate, so I said ditto. The Sweet Spot NBTX is originally a food truck from New Braunfels, TX. After looking around NB for a store front, they just happened to find this location in SM that was a previous coffee shop that closed in Oct, and The Sweet Spot took over almost immediately, just a month ago. Wishing the family-owned business the best of luck. Support local.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute little gem in San Marcos across the street from the Root Cellar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They serve special drinks, breakfast items, and unique desserts. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is seating, but a little limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mini pancakes with Nutella & coconut flakes, corn in a cup with hot Cheetos dust

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all this place is so cute! The decor is everything, and the staff was so friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The mini pancakes were so good and fresh! We loved them but my favorite was the elote! It's hands down the best cup I've had in San Marcos! They don't just use one cheese they use multiple! It was perfect. I highly recommend trying!

    Office outing 2024

    We had our office outing at the Sweet Spot taking their decorating class and I'm so glad we did, we all had such a great time. The staff was super friendly and helpful and Kat did a great job instructing us what to do. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend you bring some friends thank you to the Sweet Spot for hosting us.

    Beware of the "5 Star" Reviews…read more Offering free drinks/apps in exchange. I do want to point out that I never submit reviews. Went in and sat down quick, yet the food took over an hour. We sat, ordered drinks along with the food when we got there. After we realized the people around us that arrived significantly later were already paying to leave, we got up to ask about our food as it had easily been 40 minutes. Got told it would be a couple of minutes, gave us waters. Mind you, we are now over an hour into waiting. Food started to roll out and we kept getting offered free chips in the meantime- sorry but this solves the situation how? We are now going to be full of chips and not food. 2 of the meals still took an extra 20 min after the majority rolled out and of course, my parents' food came out COLD. What were we waiting for on this exactly? A lady, who I am assuming is the manager, came to apologize, told us she would remove the 2 items from the ticket. We were understanding. However, she then admitted they dropped the ball- this is where this place really lost us. She stated that they tried to reheat the plates and just pass it as "fresh." Thank you for finally being honest but this truly just gave me a bad image of management. I felt like they just threw the team under the bus. We asked for the check and when we asked if she did comp the 2 plates, she gave an attitude responding, "I did, I fixed it" and then proceeded to send someone else to check us out. That is not how you manage or take ownership. As a manager myself, you take care of the person full on through to try and turn the situation around. Had she done that or had the staff communicated that they messed up when we had initially asked, we would've been completely fine instead all that happened here. We were in there for about 2.5 hours. Unfortunately left disappointed due to the good reviews we initially saw.

The restaurant got busier after we sat at our table. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. The inside isn't much either. But the food and service was TOTALLY EXCEPTIONAL! We ordered some pot stickers and roll appetizers. They were very good. I ordered the "C4 Panang" with shrimp. The one word to describe this dish is "AMAZING!" The flavors were deep and complex. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit. The service was also excellent. My son ordered a dish with "Fried Snapper" which he enjoyed very much. I consider my son an expert in Thai food since he's been to Thailand and lived in England where the cuisine is heavily influenced by India and Thailand. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. Our waitperson checked on our table often but not overly intruding into our table's conversation. And the "Fried Ice Cream" and "Mango Rice" were unique and excellent endings to a great meal. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant.

The new onions and peppers as well as eggs tasted fresher than most breakfast places. Still love their middle-ground salsa. Avocado toast benedict is Mr R's new favorite, (beating out their carnitas in his opinion and even after eating most of a tub of Fuego's good guacamole this weekend). I think it's absolutely wonderful, the only drawback being one of the soft eggs had leaked beautiful golden yolk but the base of toast and fried potatoes did a good job soaking it up. Enjoyable balance of rich and fresh, beautiful colors, filling without being sleep-inducing. It's more expensive than drive-through sausage biscuits or a taco stand and there's a wait if you don't call in your order ahead, but there is some tasty stuff here made with decent ingredients and presented well. Once again, it would have been worth the price without the coupon and I understand why this parking lot was busy after church hours. We'll definitely be back.

She took our drink orders and we decided to start with chips, queso and salsa. After it was served, I had to get up and ask for place settings and two extra plates. There were 5 of us at the table and we only got 3 appetizer plates. I went to the front to ask for service ware and was told we would have to wait. Meanwhile the queso got cold. We finally got silverware and napkins but needed yet another set because there was food still on my fork. Finally tried the queso and the chips were horrible. My friend thought they were left out from the night before, i said the humidity just killed them as for being seasoned as the menu says, they were not. The menu looked great so I was excited when we ordered our entrees. An Eggs Benedict, 2 Megs Pecan Chicken Salad, The Islander and a Grilled Turkey and Tomato. The chicken salad was not chilled, not sure if it had been sitting out for a while, but the mayo was translucent. Overall, not much flavor, on a bed of greens that were difficult to eat because they were so big. There was also ketchup on the edge of my salad bowl. Not sure what others thought, but half of the sandwich was left, along with the Islander salad. I was really looking forward to trying this place out. If they were overwhelmed from the front of the house to the back, it showed. I will try this place again when its not such a busy weekend.
