| - I'm starting to think the city of Lakewood is trying to kill me.
Not in a "stab you in the face" quick kind of way, but rather in a "slowly develop weight-related health issues" kind of way.
I guess I probably need to take some responsibility in all of this, but to be honest it's getting harder and harder with wonderful places like this opening up within waddling distance from home.
We've been to the Sweet Spot several times since they opened earlier this month, and every time it's been great.
There is certainly no shortage of great ice cream in this area, but the Sweet Spot's gelato offers a different take on frozen creamy goodness, offering both tried and true favorite flavors (chocolate,vanilla, strawberry) as well as some more adventurous ones (mint chocolate cayenne, peppered blackberry, earl grey, and more).
Each time we've visited, it seemed like the number of flavors had doubled since the last time, making the already difficult decision choosing a flavor even tougher. They also offer some vegan friendly flavors which is probably a welcome treat for those who forego the ways of the flesh.
They've also got some locally produced pastries (cookies, pies, cupcakes) for those who aren't in the mood for something cold, or for those who are but want to take it home, they will happily hand pack a pint or quart for you.
On top of all of this, the owners and staff are super-friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about their products. Before you can finish asking a question about a flavor, you'll have a sample spoon in your hand.
Sweet Spot is yet ANOTHER great place to visit in Lakewood, you should go. Really, I mean it. NO. Stop reading this and go. NOW!
