The Sweet Spot has gotten sweeter with an overhaul of our cupcakes.  We are now proud to exclusively carry cupcakes from our favorite gravity defying baker Meg Skill.  You’ve already had her delicious chai latte, raspberry champagne and dolce de leche, now you get a chance to try the rest.

So come in and check out the lineup of usual suspects: chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, dolce de leche, raspberry champagne, chai latte and a featured cupcake that will be changing monthly.  This month she will be whipping up Banana Nutella cupcakes, and our featured latte will match.

Found this gem a little while back.  Philly native Bilal takes on a Bob Marley cover and kills it.  Any local artists looking to hone their skills be on the look out, Sweet Spot’s Open Mic is prepping for a big summer.

For all our animal conscious neighbors…vegan desserts!

Starting this Saturday  The Sweet Spot we will teaming up with the girls at Sweet Freedom bakery in South Philly to bring you a delicious selection ofgluten free and vegan desserts!  Let me say, as an omnivore I was a little skeptical but after Heather came with some samples for us our

staff was damn impressed and decided we had to carry these treats.

All the desserts are free from gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, peanuts, refined sugar, and they are also vegan and kosher.  So then what are they made with?….magic? crack? find out here…http://www.sweetfreedombakery.com/whatwedo.html

It’s Mardi Gras! Someone Flash Us!

Hey fellow coffee lovers,

It is Mardi Gras! Whoo hoo! This has literal relevance to me OTHER than the fact that it’s FAT TUESDAY. Which gives us all an excuse to eat doughnuts. Here at Sweet Spot, we don’t actually have doughnuts. We *do* have lots of delicious cupcakes and desserts, however. Which means you should come in. And eat some. And eat some more. Trust me, it doesn’t even count, it’s Fat Tuesday! Beads for everyone!

Also, someone just came in with a large bottle of a) white wine and b) some vodka-like drink, which reminded me that we are a BYOB. Come in and drink and eat desserts! You can do that! Because it’s Mardi Gras!

(And really, what else are you going to do on your boring, relatively chilly Tuesday afternoon?)

Mundo’s guide to sustainable living: Orange Candles

That orange was delicious, but it still has more to give.  Fill half of an orange peel with cooking oil, leaving the core (wick) of the rind above the top. Let it sit a min or two so the oil is soak up and light.  It may take a little longer to light than a candle but it will burn for most of the day giving off a citrus aroma.
