Funnel cake was delicious, their ambiance nice! The funnel cakes had a great amount of sweetness! The service was fast, as there was not a lot of people. The only thing, is that it's a pop up truck and sometimes that I have gone it is not there. Other than that, I would recommend this place!

Donut Triangles. Perfectly made.! SO delicious. A must stop every time.

A Must Stop Every time. Always Delicious Donut Triangles, and Funnel cake. Family and I love coming here located in San Bernardino Night Market.

I had such a great experience!! The service was incredibly fast, the vibes were vibing, and the staff were so kind and welcoming the entire time. You can really tell they care about their customers. Everything was smooth, easy, and enjoyable from start to finish. 20/10 recommend I'll definitely be coming back! If you're craving something sweet definitely come!!

I called slightly before they opened to find out if they'd be at their usual spot last Sunday. Mind you I was unaware of their hours of operation. To my surprise a gentleman called me back right away. That was nice as I later found out the time I had called they were closed. Upon arrival we asked for the banana split funnel cake and asked for Carmel on the side among other things. They followed the instructions to a tee! The funnel cake wasn't at all oily like some I've had at fairs. They put all the right amount of ingredients and weren't at all stingy! Needles to say we'll be back!

Funnel Cake with Powdered Sugar strawberry's and ice cream

Funnel cake was bomb! I know they have different locations so I checked their instagram @thesweetstops I've been when they were by the target off Tyler and in San Bernardino. 10/10 it's very fresh and not oily. The deep fried Oreos are also good . Service was quick

We hired the Sweet Stop to give out free funnel cakes at our community event and they were amazing! They went above and beyond to service all our guests, even staying later than scheduled to ensure all orders were met. We will definitely be looking to book them for future events. Arturo was very accommodating, communicative, and wanted to make sure we were happy at all times. Highly recommend

Do yourself a favor, get yourself the funnel cake with strawberries AND ice cream... probably the best funnel cake Ive ever had. Also, the deep fried Oreos are *chefs kiss* Under new ownership, and the service was top tier. Highly recommend this place.

Funnel cake with ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar

SOOO GOOD! Had the funnel cake topped with ice cream, whipped cream, strawberries and cinnamon sugar (chefs kiss) and deep fried Oreos and churros. Didn't get to take a picture of the churros and deep fried Oreos, we were too hungry! But everything was delicious! Staff are very friendly and welcoming! Definitely recommend this spot! You won't be disappointed. For sure coming back!

Decided to stop here after looking for a different pop up shop, that didn't "pop up" that day. I got the banana split funnel cake...its was tasty and heavy on the toppings, which is good with me, because not an inch of the cake was dry. Being that it does come with ice cream on top, I should have gotten it on the side, because I didn't finish it and it just melted into my cake and made it soft....such a bummer. Next time I'll know, to get the ice cream on the side. I don't purchase many funnel cakes, so I'm not sure if paying $13 for that was a good deal or a rip off. Any other extra toppings, are $1 each. I may or may not go back, I haven't decided yet. read more

LET ME TELL YOU!!!! THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU! We got a funnel cake with whipped cream strawberries & drizzled chocolate for $13 . IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!

Honestly it was expensive and not only that the funnel cakes are tiny. The strawberries are glazed so not fresh Not only that but the funnel cake didn't take like funnel cake it tasted like a churro. they probably use the churro mix for the funnel cakes. If I wanted a churro I would have ordered that. Wouldn't come back. Plus I spent 30 dollars and the card fee of 1$ I'd rather drive all the way to knotts for a good funnel cake. read more

I went for the donuts. Very underwhelming. Almost no cinnamon/sugar, and AWKWARDLY dense. I was expecting something along the lines of a mini donut (Trish's Mini Donuts; Sparky's Mini Donuts). Instead, these were dense, nearly flavorless balls of fried cake. Really not worth a visit. Definitely not the melt-in-your-mouth experience you expect when ordering mini donuts. Staff were nice, can't speak to other offerings. I will say I noticed their funnel cake toppings were all pre-bought Hershey's, HFCS stuff. This seems like a disappointment and hard to justify given the prices. I don't think people spend $10+ for Hershey's "caramel". The truck would be well served with a small investment in fresh product and toppings. read more

My husband and I were craving something sweet to eat and happened upon The Sweet Spot on set up on Park/University. They were busy, but we decided to wait. Totally worth it, even in the heat! We shared a funnel cake and strawberry/banana smoothie. YUM! The cake was freshly made and crispy with tons of toppings. The fruit smoothie was tasty and refreshing! The employees were great and offered us a loyalty club card. Al, the owner stopped by, of course, we snapped a pic! We'll definitely be back! read more

I've been seeing this place and was finally able to try their funnel cake! So so good and crisp. I got the banana funnel cake. It's $13 but if you text them you will get $2 off paying the same price as a regular funnel cake! It's obviously not like Knotts or any other but they are your typical fundraising booth/food stand that will have lines regardless! It's on Arci's corner and university. Can't miss it! There's also another food truck, Lolita's, next to it... had to try their food but this review is for The Sweet Stop. read more

It comes with a Columbian sauce on the side as well. The food was delicious. My 2 year old loved the yucca fries!!! The Columbian sauce had a mild spice to it, but it was also refreshing to eat. We also grabbed the fruit punch. The drink was refreshing, and it came with little bits of diced fruits. The guy that took our order was super helpful and friendly. 5 stars for this food truck! Even though it's a food truck, you are greeted with good vibes! This food truck did not disappoint us! The prices are also really reasonable. The loaded chicken yucca fries had a decent portion. It fed a family of 3 (one is a toddler loving fries).

Uncle Fluffy has been on my list for like a gajillion years not even joking. my mother is a cheesecake fanatic.... and also an almond mom. so japanese cheesecake is that woman's dream: lighter, less dense, and less sweet than american cheesecakes (the higher protein content from fluffed egg whites also means u could make ur fellow gymbro into "making up" the calories too) the regular cheesecake was yum and the texture was divine: basically if you imagined a fluffy soufflé pancake and cheesecake had a baby. it didn't wow me though, especially since i love things on the sweeter side and it definitely wasn't. for a tiny $11 dessert, it didn't taste like i was indulging in a dirty little sweet treat. so i'll stick w my dense caloric diabetic cheesecakes from the freezer isle at vons. BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN! my mom ATE THAT UNC UPPPPP. she ADORED the cheesecake. also service was quick and sweet. uncle fluffy def has daddy potential xoxo ;P

Everything about this place is a green flag!…read more Food: Quality is top tier. Everything is good but my favorite is anything with their fried chicken and their hot mess sauce - my goto is their hot mess mac and cheese with all the extra sauces. I am obsessed with their homemade sauces.. hot mess ofcourse, garlic aioli, white bbq, and their house ranch are my faves.. don't ask me to only choose one. I don't really drink so I haven't tried their craft beers but they have a wide selection, flights, and togo inventory. I have no pictures because I couldn't help myself. Service: Again, quality is top tier. The staff is fabulous, consistently kind and they are why the place feels warm but exciting. Environment: Love the atmosphere here! They have fun events like movie night, crafting activities, and games (board and group). The most available seating is upstairs and the patio but they also have some seating on the first floor where you order. Parking is good. The establishment is a unit out of a larger building so parking is shared with other businesses but I have never had an issue with parking and I have come here many times at various times. Overall 15/10. Just come here and eat their yummy food and be happy that you listened to this review. Thank you Thompson Brewing, I hope you reign forever.

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

For my favorites: I've never had a matcha freeze so that was unique! It was sweet & flavorful, without being overly sweet. The watermelon juice with matcha cold foam was so refreshing and had a light earthy taste. The bagel was served warm and nicely toasted. They were also generous with the blueberry cream cheese, which I appreciated. As for the cafe itself, the restroom trash was overflowing, but the restroom was otherwise clean. A couple of the tables needed to be wiped down; however, the cafe was busy when we visited and people had just gotten up from those tables, so it was understandable. :) Since this was my first Yelp Elite experience, I wasn't really sure what to fully expect. The cashier was friendly and greeted us as soon as we checked in, but he only mentioned the blueberry and sesame bagels and that they were out of regular cream cheese. Later, I seen they had a pizza bagel and I would have loved the option to try that instead. It would have been nice if all of the available choices had been mentioned during check in. Not sure if they were out or if it just wasn't mentioned. Another staff checked in on us after receiving our order and he was very nice. Overall, I had a great first Elite Experience. The food and drinks were excellent and I'd definitely come back. Also thank you for Sammy for coordinating and introducing to this nice spot!

Ambiance is not the best, as the interior of the restaurant can feel dated--the art does not help--and the booths that comprise the bulk of the seating is private (which I love) but always dirty. Despite the service and ambiance leaving something to be desired, the lunch is great option in the downtown area. I do no recommend the breakfast--the potatoes lack flavor and many items are better made at home, imo. My go-to lunch options Grilled Smokey without onions- a fancy grilled cheese w tomato Tomato soup pairs very well with the grilled cheese Grill Smokey with bacon- solid but sometimes I don't want bacon/meat Tuna melt- so good and I tend to not like celery Black bean soup- solid Upgrade to the pesto pasta salad OR the loaded potato salad Don't recommend the pastrami sandwich-the meat was lowkey gross Baked good/desserts Princess Cake- I'm royalty and this cake hits the right notes and spots Sticky buns- get it Cinnamon bun- get it Cookies (molasses)- yummy and good texture Bagels- great quality bagels to add to a meal Baked breads (when in stock)- love fresh bread and recommend the sourdough

I had been longing for a funnel cake for weeks, and today finally felt like the day to indulge. I hopped on Yelp, found the location, and drove 22 minutes to satisfy my craving, only to end up regretting the trip. It felt like a waste of both money and gas. Upon arrival, the guy informed us that he only had two funnel cakes left. I thought there might be enough batter for a couple more, but that was far from the truth. Those two cakes were just sitting there. He piled on the toppings and handed them over, but to my dismay, they were the worst funnel cakes I had ever tasted--burnt and fried in old oil. How could they even sell that? It was disgusting. We requested a refund for one, but my child insisted on keeping the other. Unfortunately, my kiddo soon realized it was burnt too, leaving us with a disappointing reminder of our wasted money, time, and gas. Never again. read more

Absolutely Delicious!!! I recently tried the funnel cakes from The Sweet Stop and they were amazing! The batter was perfectly crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I got mine topped with strawberries and powdered sugar and it was pure heaven. The service was super friendly. The smell alone was enough to make my mouth water while waiting. If you're looking for a delicious, classic fair-style treat, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Had a really good experience., I couldn't belive that I found a Funnel cake place outside of the fair or Knotts. And to top it off Hands down the best tasting funnel I've ever had. I watched as they make them fresh to order. The strawberries were also the perfect topper for the cake. If you see them it's worth the few minutes out of your time to go and get one. Also their fast and it doesn't take them long to get your order out to you. Thanks Sweet Stop, see you soon. read more
