I like coming here because I've never seen it crowded, which makes it a great place to sit down with my laptop. They have some sweet treats to nibble on, as well as sandwiches and beer, if you like.Upvote5Downvote
Adrian PhillipsNovember 24, 2015Picked up a flourless chocolate cake for a party that was rich, dense and incredibly tasty. It had caramel topping which made it even more brilliant. Only $20, great spot to pick up some desserts.Upvote3Downvote
Rosie LilaMarch 24, 2013The "Sweet Bar" cookies with chocolate are delicious. I also like the peppered turkey sandwich with extra cheddar. Organic, gluten free, and vegan preferences accommodated.Upvote2Downvote

Justin WarrenDecember 2, 2012Great cookies. Should have gotten espresso - coffee is watery and not hot enough. I'll be back, the space is, well sweet.Upvote1Downvote- A co-worker recommended the Pork Sandwich and it did not disappoint. It exceeded pork expectations.Upvote2Downvote
Kyle YoungblomAugust 19, 2014I love their eponymous sweet bar, without the chocolate. Most would probably call it plain, I'd call it subtle.UpvoteDownvote

Cheryl LiquoriDecember 7, 2012Really spacious & light space to work. Wi-fi available. Blueberry-apple cornmeal upside down cake. Yum! And not too sweet.
