Reviews for The Sweet Spot in Waitsfield, VT
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 deliciouscombination I have ever had. The Mint Oreo Ice Cream tasted like someone ground up fresh mint from the garden. It was sorefreshing (my 8 year old loved it). My husband (Coffee with Brownie sandwich) and kids (my youngest had the Salted Caramelbetween Chocolate chips) also thoroughly enjoyed theirs... so much so that we needed to visit again another day. The beautifuloutside seating was just a lovely bonus! Read more
The outdoor eating area overlooking the river is very pleasant. Drinks and treats were good as well. Perfect rainy day chilling!
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! Read more
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 worthit. Read more
A good place overall. The Cafe does a better job than most at providing clean ingredients, like organic and locally sourced.... Where this operation could improve, is with using their website to update and notify their customers in real-time of when theydecide to go on hiatus or when they change their hours and severing menu. The cafe is in a somewhat out of the way area unlessyou are an immediate local. And it's a drag when things suddenly change and the website is not updated and you drive there todiscover they are closed or operating in a limited compasity. Read more
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. ? Read more
Bought a brown butter sugar cookie ice cream sandwich with lemon ice cream. The ice cream was extremely uneventful. If it wasn't... for the sugar cookie then I would have been very disappointed. If you are looking for good ice cream this is not the place togo. We have several creameries in our area that make their own homemade ice cream so I am very spoiled. Ice cream should besmooth creamy and full of flavor. This had none of those aspects. I agree with Roberts assessment of the service. Not veryfriendly. Very standoffish. I did like the setting.

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 limitedmenu and hours are a fact, but don?t reduce the rating! Add to all this the eggplant sandwich (eggplant not your thing? Well, weall have somewhat to learn), and super fresh and lovely salad?this is a place I travel for! Read more
