Amazing desserts and cookies! One of the best chocolate chip cookies- great texture (slightly chewy) and just enough salt to make this cookie's flavors really outstanding. Same with peanut butter pie! So creamy and delicious. Best sweet treat in Maine all weekend, and we tried lots. Glad we stopped in!

The second best hot latte we have had all week. Chocolate chunk cookies well done. Not too soft or hard. Not too sweet. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich. Fresh but with no frills for $10. Ordered a hot machiatto with oat milk. Terrible. So sweet . Maybe they use sweetened oat milk but very disappointing.

Would’ve been better if the service was a little bit more cordial. After employee overhears consideration of a specific beverage, employee waited til item was ordered to announce they did not have something. Very rushed manner for 11AM on a public holiday.

Great coffee, but the standout was the raspberry zinger inspired pastry I got - so good! Nice little spot with good Wi-Fi to work for an hour.

I wanted to share some kudos for The Sweet Spot. I was so hungry and got a sandwich and smoothie from here that most indeed hit the sweet spot. Superbly delicious food, welcoming staff, and they threw in a bag of chips and a pickle adding more value for my money. Seriously don't sleep on this little nook cafe and bakery or you're missing out on something lovely
