If you don't like sweet be sure to tell them 1/2 sweet on the drinks. The reason I gave it a 3 is because if you order 6 or more drinks they automatically charge you 20% for tip for your order. We have a large family and to be automatically charged an extra amount for that was a bit of a surprise. We've gone to coffee shops all over the country and have never run into that at a coffee shop. A restaurant or something we are used to that with large groups. But I don't think 6 drinks constitutes an $8 up charge. Would come back but not ordering for my whole family. Or I'll just do two separate orders.

I just got an iced latte with pistachio cold foam, and it was delicious - perfectly sweet and smooth. Nate got a specialty drink that was tasty, with chocolate, cayenne, and pumpkin cold foam. The space is cute and pink and it was decorated for Halloween. The employee taking our order was super sweet and patient. We also got a breakfast sandwich - I LOVE a coffee shop with actual food. You can choose a bagel, English muffin, or croissant, with your choice of meat and cheese + egg. We did sausage and pepper jack on an English muffin. Oh and they took my name for my order, yay! The breakfast sandwich was so good - super melty and cheesy. And it was only $8! If I lived nearby I think I would come to this place daily. There is a cozy seating area in the back and it is connected to the bar next door.

Sweet Cheekz is filled with character and charm as well as a very friendly staff. They have got to have every single flavor you can imagine as well as very funny and cute names to go along with their coffees and flavors which is a cute idea. The staff was very kind and helpful when ordering as all the flavors can seem a bit overwhelming if you do not know exactly what you like. Although we did not get to see the bistro side of things, it did look like it was tied to a larger place with more seating, kitchen, etc so it would be interesting to go back and give the other half of this place a try. The price is good for the high quality drinks and service and this is definitely a place to stop in and check out if you are in the area! The coffee and flavors were great in all the drinks and the cold foams tasted like dessert! I will definitely be back when I find myself in Sandusky again.

No hellos, no thank yous, no indication our transaction was over. The wait was a little long for a cold brew but it was busy so again, no big deal. But they never called my name for the drink.

I virtually never get refunds on food, I used to be in food service for a long time. But this was a big disappointment and I didn't feel like I got what I paid for. I love Oberlin and had hoped I found a new "spot." This probably won't be it.
