• All of their cookies = heaven. They have a cinnamon chip cookie with icing that tastes like a cookie version of a cinnamon roll. It's hard to comprehend the amazingness of that! – Lisa S., Yelp, 8/8/10
• There have been holidays, that I've skipped the entire meal just to make sure I have room for a cannoli from SWEET SPOT. – Randi, Urbanspoon
