The Sweet Spot Bake Shoppe

There’s no place better for cupcakes in this area of NJ! I love the red velvet cupcake, along with the various flavors of the cake truffles.

Red velvet cupcakes. Holy. Crap.
Sampled some at a The Taste of Roxbury Event and went back for more, including some vegan cupcakes for my wife.

Have been here a number of times; both to buy yay treats to enjoy and also to buy engagement party dessert and favors. All of which received rave reviews. Every flavor we have tried is DELICIOUS! We ordered cake truffles for my sisters engagement party and they were to die for. The staff is very helpful and attentive. We also ordered a variety of mini cupcakes for the engagement party as dessert and every single one was better than the last. Always looking for an excuse to visit!

Cupcakes: The cupcakes are beautifully sculpted and made fresh daily. The store recommends refrigeration and consumption within 24 hours. Out of the fridge, the cupcakes have a chewy center and the frosting is very sweet (it might be considered too sweet if you aren’t used to it). They offer various flavors of cupcakes and frosting combinations so there are many reasons to come back and try new flavor combinations. There are also special flavors which are seasonal.
Staff: Staff is very friendly!
Ambiance: The store is small but has a homely décor accented by wallpaper color and decorations.
Value: A dozen cupcakes costs about $ 24 or slightly more if you choose specialty flavors.

I needed favors for my baby shower, and I headed to this bakery based on reviews. I spoke with a worker there, and she was really helpful. She gave me the email address and told me Cheryl, the owner, would be able to give me more information since she is the baker. I interacted from that point on with Cheryl via email, and she was very responsive. She was also very patient with me as my requests changed. I originally wanted to do a 2 tiered cake with a galaxy/​cosmos design, but I just couldn’t afford to do that. Instead, I ordered 5 dozen chocolate covered oreos and 5 dozen chocolate covered oreos with a fondant star decoration (the theme of my baby shower was stars/​cosmos). The bakery can wrap them for you for an additional charge, but I wrapped them myself because I wanted to put one of each cookie in a bag with a hand written thank you tag (pictures attached).
I picked up my order a week before my baby shower, and the cookies were still awesome the day of the party. I met Cheryl when I went to pick up the order, and she was super nice. She even gave me a few extra cookies. The worker behind the counter was also really helpful with boxing up and bagging my order.
Oh, and I also ordered a few cupcakes just to taste a product from the winner of Cupcake Wars. The full size cupcakes were awesome! But the smaller, mini cupcakes I tried were quite dry. It’s possible they were sitting out all day. But the regular size cupcake is definitely yummy!
Overall, the whole experience was great! Everyone I worked with was wonderful and helpful.

This place was on Cupcake Wars and I was afraid that it might have been over hyped from being a winner on the show… this was not the case at all! I stopped on Mother’s Day to pick up some cupcakes and figured I’d give it a shot.
The cupcakes were DELICIOUS — moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet!
They had over a dozen flavors to choose from when I arrived, along with cookies, brownies, lemon bars, and smaller bite sized cupcakes. I ordered 5 cupcakes totaling to only $ 15!
One of my favorite flavors is their banana cream cupcake… it was like a soft banana bread cupcake with flavorful icing topped with nuts. Wow, so so so good!
The girls at the counter were very nice and extremely helpful. When I asked whether they had gluten free cupcakes, she informed me of my options and let me know that I can place an order in advance for them and there was no minimum order for GF cupcakes! She also informed me that one specific cupcake would have to be refrigerated if not eaten the day of since there was a chocolate whipped cream filling.
The establishment sits in the heart of Chester on Main Street. There is a side parking lot next to the store so you do not have to park on the street. The street is lined with restaurants, boutiques, and antique shops. Perfect for a casual stroll and a stop here for some yummy cupcakes.
I highly recommend! I’ll definitely be returning for more yummy cupcakes!

Every flavor is so delicious! Never too sugary. Friendly staff. Right on the main street. A little store front w alot of selection. Go out of your way and try it!

I love their coconut with lime frosting cupcake. It’s delicious. They are the best cupcake shop around if you want something different.

This place was apparently on Cupcake Wars, which I don’t watch, and to be honest, I’m always afraid places will become too big after they’ve appeared on TV. Sweet Spot shows that they totally hold their ground, and deserved to be on the show.
The cupcakes are amazing, and the buttercream frosting is incredibly delicious. There’s a big variety, but it’s not too overwhelming. You can also see them making more cupcakes in the back, so you know that the cupcakes haven’t been sitting there forever. We bought ours in the morning, and by the time we ate them at night, they still tasted moist and fresh — and the frosting is phenomenal. I have a crazy sweet tooth, but sometimes buttercream frosting is almost too sweet (I know, I know — is that possible? Yes. Yes it is) — but this was the perfect balance.
We also got some of the cake truffle balls that were delicious, but the showstopper was — wait for it — chocolate covered Oreo Reese’s, which is as dangerous and incredible as it sounds. Basically it is a sandwich with the two Oreo halves, a peanut butter cup in the middle, that is then dipped in chocolate. I want to order them by the pound for PMS days… or any days, really.
Overall, the place was adorable, the staff was really helpful, and the cupcakes and desserts are absolutely delicious.

It’s so good. The cupcakes are really good, and the chocolate covered oreos are even better. Fair pricing too., all things considered.

This is the cutest cupcake shop ever! The staff is amazingly friendly and their cupcakes are to die for! It’s so difficult to pick just one. I hear their red velvet is a big hit but I have yet to try it. The mini cupcakes are the perfect size with the perfect amount of flavor. They also have a huge party room with mirrored walls that overlooks the plaza courtyard. I thought that was adorable. I’ll definitely be planning a party or two in the future. Kid tested, my children love! Our family will be back many more times! :)

Truly excellent cupcakes! Very obviously made with the freshest ingredients, real flavors, nothing processed… you can find all the classic favorites to even some unconventional flavor pairings. Easy to tell Sweet Spot cupcakes are the real deal. Excellent product!

This place is great! I ordered red velvet cupcakes with blue colored filling to reveal our baby’s gender to my family. Service was great and cupcakes were delicious! Especially for being the holidays and ordering the day before!

I came upon this little shop on my way to a craft fair in Chester. We saw that it was featured on the Food Network so we definitely had to try! Not only do the cupcakes look amazing and tasty, they are very affordable! We bought 3 large cupcakes for only $ 6!
I had the smore’s cupcake with a marshmallow frosting, my mother had a chocolate peanut butter cupcake, and our friend had a strawberry key lime frosted one.
We will definitely be back! Kudos to this cute bake shop!

Yummy in my tummy. We tried this place after walking around on Main Street and decided to give it a shot. I ordered a sprinkles and marshmallow icing (vanilla) cupcake while hubby tried the coconut. The cake itself was flavorful and dense, while the icing was a bit overwhelming. Mine had a TON of delicious sprinkles but still, a bit too sweet for my liking. The coconut was not as sweet but perfect.

Another reviewer calls this place «too sweet,» and I completely agree. The cookies and cream brownie I bought had to be eaten very, very slowly, as each bite was like a burst of pure sugar in my mouth. If you eat it too fast, you may feel nauseous.
Solid cupcake shop, though. It’s cute, right on the main strip in Chester, and seemed to have a pretty good selection. Haddonfield’s Indulgence Cupcakery is better, I’d say, but this still hit the spot. Just very sweet.

In the realm of cupcake/​dessert spots this place gets a solid four stars. The cupcakes are bomb and the prices are really fair as desserts are exceedingly cheap to make and have abundant shelf life.
We got the smores, strawberry, carrot cake and salted caramel cupcakes. All for $ 8. Thats unheard of. The icing was light and airy not thick and heavy which is a welcome surprise when eating a heavy dessert. The flavors were great as well. This place also makes their own truffles which we’ll definitely try when we go back for apple picking season.
We wouldve given it 5 stars however we actually have had better cupcakes from Asbury Park where we’re from if thats imaginable. We also would like to see a little more selection as we’ve been to a couple places with as much as double the amount of varieties. You should try this place though its great and the staff was very helpful and friendly which is always a plus.

I have never had a better cupcake in my whole life! Moist cake & the icing! OMG the icing! So light and creamy & not too sweet! They’re perfect in every way! I highly recommend the vanilla cake with strawberry icing, you will thank me!

Unfortunately, things just keep getting worse at this establishment. The very limited selection of flavors for their cupcakes is embarrassing. They miss the mark on what they offer. I really wish they would concentrate more on their cupcakes rather than their orders. When they first started out, they had it right… the seating wast there, the flavors were there, but these days, it’s hardly a cupcake shop.
Check out House of Cupcakes in Princeton if you really want your cupcake fix. Tons of flavors and all of them very good. The last few times I came out very disappointed and I’m not sure I’ll be back.

Super cupcakes. Cheryl donated two dozen cupcakes to Grace Bible Chapel day camp. They were all delicious! I went to the bake shop the next day to biy some more — Thank you Cheryl!
