The Sweet Spot

Stopped in for a sweet treat and the cookies blew me away! Amazing depth of flavor and great texture. We tried the chocolate espresso, ginger, and brown butter and enjoyed them all.

My husband and I stopped here while we were exploring the area. I had a very delicious mocha and the employee that helped us gave us some great info about the area. It was snowing that day so we didn’t sit down but the area looked so fun with the lights and small-town vibes. Not a place to hang out in, as it’s outdoor seating only and you order at a window, but it’s perfect for enjoying the outdoors or walking around the area with a tasty beverage. :)

Limited food options but what they had was delicious! The atmosphere was lovely on a bright early morning. Coffee was fuss free. The baked goods were absolutely delicious!

Probably the best tomato soup and grilled cheese I’ve ever had, and my friend who is a chef said the same thing. YUMMY!! They were about to close so we were the only ones there. Ambience a bit lacking but more than made up for it with the quality of the food.

Really delicious! As others said, the lattes are perfect, and not too sweet at all! The food is great and there is a selection of sweets that live up to name. Recommend you stop here for breakfast or lunch.

Loved the spot. It’s beautiful, calm and quiet place. The food is great and there are many options. Perfect place to stop by when you travel

Note this is now outdoor counter serve only, and I miss the vibe inside; nothing else is lost. Their food and treats are perfect (I’m grateful they have the spectacular frittata), energy is right and the location is, of course, unparalleled. Very limited menu and hours are a fact, but don’t reduce the rating! Add to all this the eggplant sandwich (eggplant not your thing? Well, we all have somewhat to learn), and super fresh and lovely salad…this is a place I travel for!

We visited Waitsfield this summer and stopped by The Sweet Spot and it was delicious. We followed up lunch with some ice cream sandwiches, and Oh, my was that a treat! I had the French macaroon with Chocolate ice cream and it was the most delicious combination I have ever had. The Mint Oreo Ice Cream tasted like someone ground up fresh mint from the garden. It was so refreshing (my 8 year old loved it). My husband (Coffee with Brownie sandwich) and kids (my youngest had the Salted Caramel between Chocolate chips) also thoroughly enjoyed theirs... so much so that we needed to visit again another day. The beautiful outside seating was just a lovely bonus!

The salad with the ginger coconut dressing is one of the best salads I’ve ever had, and the tomato bisque was equally impressive. The coffee was delicious, the setting was lovely, and the containers, etc. were compostable.

The best ice cream sandwiches ever! Really good breakfast sandwiches also. Staff is super friendly. Right next to the river, so many good things in one

Out of towner who enjoyed the lovely views and great coffee. My partner really enjoyed the food although the menu is pretty limited due to covid.

Best ice cream sandwich EVER, IMHO.
The Sweet Spot offers traditional ice cream sandwiches in addition to those made with French macaroons. If you enjoy marzipan , you must try one. Also bring your patience and relax by the river while you wait. It is worth it.

The subversive heart cookies for Vday were great! We love visiting this sweet spot everytime we're in Waitesfield. And you cant beat the river view. ❤

We were wandering around on our way toe Waitsfield when we stumbled on The Sweet Spot and were absolutely extatic but the result. It was rain (neither pouring nor drizzling) and we thought we would pop in for a quick bite and warm up...but unfortunately there is only window counter service. Regardless, we ordered a Golden Milk and Chai Latte (both good) as well as a Pop Tart...but this is no ordinary Kellogg's version. This puppy is home made awesomeness-goodness...deliciosso! So could I had another...and could easily have had 6 more. Very flakey puff pastry surrounding a filing (we had apple and another of strawberry) with a sugar glaze. You gotta try one. Enjoy!

I had the best lunch at The Sweet Spot in Waitsfield! Try the Eggplant, you won't be disappointed! The combination of flavor and textures is phenomenal! Also, the tomato soup, WOW!
I can't wait to come back in warmer weather and sit on the patio by the River.

Run don't walk to this special gem of a coffee house and bakery. This is my first stop when I get to the Valley, and my last stop before I leave. Everything they do is top notch. And it's some of the best coffee in a wide vicinity (both beans and espresso drinks). While they started as an ice cream shop, and I love their ice cream (and ice cream sandwiches!!!), their savory food is prepared with such care and attention to detail, it is incredibly delicious. In the setting of a gorgeous garden, next to one of Vermont's best covered bridges. What's not to love. Oh, and get in on one of their special Wednesday night dinners. You won't be sorry.

The Sweet Spot was literally our go to spot all weekend long! Breakfast is amazing and I love that they had hard boiled eggs. The coffee was so great and the food was amazing. My sister had her rehearsal dinner here and the food was so phenomenal. The staff was so friendly and great too!!! This was definitely a highlight of the weekend!

The Sweet Spot has amazing coffee drinks available, and the taste is arguably the best in The Mad River Valley. The staff there are super relaxed and chill. Go try it out, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend getting the iced mocha latte.

Amazing spot off the road and right on the river. The strawberry rhubarb homemade pop tart was incredible as well as the savory potato egg and cheese. Great mid-bike snack break!

A huge piece of beautiful quiche, a perfect cup of locally roasted quality, a private table in the sun overlooking the Mad River flowing under a covered bridge... this place is lovely.

The only place to get a good cup of coffee in the valley, so far as I know.

I’ve had their quiche, breakfast sandwich, and egg popover and they cook their [local!] eggs to perfection.
