The Sweet Spot - Richmond

Great coffee shop to go to, popular with the locals. Would highly recommend their shortbread although it is a lil on the pricier side.

Cute little bakery. Had a cheesecake there and it was rich, smooth and creamy with a hint of lemon scent. I can see they use real vanilla bean for their whipped cream. Quality ingredients with right amount of sweetness and saltiness. They make everything in-house. Would visit again if I’m in the area.

There are a few items that don't quite hit right, but even those sub-par peices are still quite good. What the sweet spot does good though, they do very good, puddings, tarts, cakes, all truly top class artisan work. Only Beaucoup imho does better but they are world class bakers. I would give SS the 5th star if they did a better job on flaky pastry.

Ordered their chocolate cake from here several times and it always surprised everyone how good and delicious it was! They have all kinds of bakeries and my most favourite is the lemon tart! they just got that sweetness and sourness to a most heavenly match and this is coming from a sweet tooth that have tried sooo many lemon tarts out there! Nothing beats it seriously. A must try!

I wrote 3 years ago in 2020 Fabulous cakes!This year 2023 I ordered another pavlova and it was a disappoinment. The presentation and taste. It was the size of a desert plate for $47.Sadly, I won't go back it is too expensive for the quality,
