This is one of my TOP 10 bakeries in Richmond and you cannot miss it!Sweet Tooth at "The Sweet Spot".Love their lemon tart and the french baking are to die for. Other than the beautiful presentation and tasty of the baked goods, the shop smells so good! The pleasant smell of the baked goods being made there. You can see the ovens and bakers next to the counter. If you have lunch or dinner plans in the Steveston neighborhood, highly recommended to drop by to buy few pieces of baked goods to go!MUST EAT: Lemon Tart, Eclairs
The only bakery in Steveston that offers a variety of good French baking.
I have here pistachio Madeleine's and apple danish. Found the apple Danish a bit on the dry side.
Amazing delights!. Every week there are new seasonal delights on the pastry shelves. Thankfully they are small and delicious leaving your taste buds delighted and satisfied. Love this little heavenly sweet spot!
Love this sweet little place. I love the friendliness i receive from the staff every time i visit them. Love their cakes and the french macarons are to die for. Especially their Passionfruit macarons. Everything's great in this store!
Delectable, delicate, delicious. Artisan cakes, sweets, pastries and deserts. Knowledgeable, friendly and (rightly so) proud patisserie chefs. My only complaint would be they need more seating as we couldn't enjoy our treats sat down.
The Sweet Spot. This place is an amazing value! The quality of the products is second to none and the prices are very competitive. Well worth the drive to Steveston and you can grab some fish and chips while you're there :)
This place is absolutely amazing I'm addicted!! I live in kamloops and I still get family members to stop there and get me treats definatly a must to try! And they are so welcoming there as well!
Sweet spot hit the spot !. Met some friends in steveston and had some time to kill so we stuck our noses in here to see what all the blather was about on the blogs, it was late and they were low on product but we stuck half a dozen into a box and went off to a movie , got at about ten pm having left our treats in the back of our hot car{a nice day} for almost 7 hours . well not so pretty but wow the depths of flavour was outstanding!!! we recently had a few items from Thomas Haas and really enjoyed it however this was hell on wheels competition for Chef Haas ! have to go back to each just to compare... all i can say is terrific worth the drive from surrey just go early so they are not almost sold out !!!
Sweet desserts. After our Mother's day lunch, we drove down to Steveston just to drop by this small bakery. Although we were hoping more "moist cake" than mousse type, their desserts were delicious! The fact that majority of their pastries were not too sweet, I give them a lot of credit. Try the tiramisu. Marscapone cream with coffee soaked lady fingers is light enough for after a meal. Eclair with salted caramel gives enough "salty" flavour to balance out the chocolate custard.
Great desserts!. My friend bought a couple sweets from this bakery for two friends' birthday and they all tasted very good. I haven't visited this bakery myself yet but will sure do so in the near future.
Sweetest couple!!! I drive all the way from Vancouver for the coconut macaroons. Keep up the great work!
So good!. Great desserts and great value. the caramel chocolate mousse is milk chocolate heaven, and the lemon tart filling was the perfect balance of sweet and tart (would have liked more meringue though - it looks pretty with just the little swirl, but i'm a big meringue fan). they also have house made ice cream - the mint chocolate chip is fantastic - clean mint taste and with thousands of little dark chocolate shards throughout.
Finally the real deal is available in Steveston. The food here, whether its pastries, sandwiches, soups, or prepared meals are always good, and I mean very good. I am a total foodie, and have travelled far from home to get tnat amazing dessert, or surperb meal, but thanks to The Sweet Spot, I dont need to travel downtown anymore. In fact its better than what I usually got downtown, and even at a better price.
Every miniature cake is a delight. We bought six different "mini cakes" and each held their own in the battle of tastes. From the lightest chocolate mousse cake topped with gooey caramel, to the rich bitterness of the dark chocolate cake. Textures, shapes, colours, and flavours differed from one bite to the next, each combined to create a unique creation. With enough effort, we were able to divide each of these desserts into six pieces so that each member of our party could taste each one.
I would recommend these miniature cakes to anybody looking to taste a dessert without having to buy the full slice. Simply marvelous.

Oh my...yum!!. I'm a dessert hound. Scratch that...I'm a dessert connoisseur! I travel far and wide for a great dessert, and my hubby jokes that I only remember the desserts of great restaurants, rather than the actual main courses. Discovering the Sweet Spot (in my own back yard, even), was a dream come true. Homemade icecreams, exceptional pastries, cakes, cookies, cheesecakes, soups... this ain't no garden variety bakery...this is serious stuff! We had a chocolate ganache cake made for a family event - it was the talk of the night! The quality of the chocolate was supreme, and the presentation (gold painted chocolate pieces adorning the side, chocolate spirals and fresh fruit on top) was first class.
Don't even get me started on the macaroons which have now surpassed the quality of Granville Island. Leaves 'em in the dust, actually.
Customer service was also exceptional. The owners are incredibly friendly and chatty, taking time to patiently explain all of the desserts, holding obvious pride in their skills.
Run - don't walk - to this place!
More than just pastries. I really enjoy the sandwiches that they make every day and love the frozen entrees that are available in the freezer. The french beef stew was amazing and today I am bringing home a roasted chicken, wild rice with hearty veg soup for dinner tonight. I love that it is soo close to my work that I can pick up something for breakfast, lunch and dinner all in one place.
The frozen entrees/soups are typically 2 portion sized and I noticed that they had ice cream available.

Super sweet Sweet Spot!. Something that I love about Steveston village is the growing number of small food establishments that are passionate about quality, service and innovation like Gudrun, Steveston Pizza Co., the Market at Papi's... Now add the Sweet Spot to the list. My husband and I stopped in last Saturday for coffee and pastries. My almond croissant was just right - flaky, buttery, the right sweetness in the almond paste. My husband had the best coconut macaroon either of us have tasted - perfectly gooey- chewy inside and caramelized outside. These sell out fast!
Since adding this review in Dec 2010 we've become regulars. Current faves include the chocolate brioche and the chocolate mousse cake with Kirsch soaked cherries. And, comme toujours, the coconut macaroons!
Christmas is coming up so I'd like to add a little note about Kirsten and Kieran's seasonal specialities: the stollen is divine and makes a wonderful hostess gift if you can manage not to eat it all yourself! We also love the hazelnut chocolate yule log. Their food artistry never ceases to really amaze us!!!

All the pastries and baked goods look astonishingly beautiful and seductive here. And they taste just impeccable as they look. This time Poached Pear Frangipane caught my eye when I walked in. The pear was soft and delicate, subtle in sweetness with a hint of acidity from poaching red wine. The tart tasted a gentle touch of almond aroma, and the texture was incredible when the crust pleasantly crumbling in my mouth. If one desires a dessert that is not too sweet, this might be the most perfectly balanced choice. Ben told me that he had the most amazing éclair in Montreal, and it would be very difficult to impress him with a good éclair elsewhere. But he was impressed by the Chocolate and Caramel Eclair here and I guess that really means a lot. I really enjoyed the choux filling in the pastry, which was light but still substantial enough to bind all the luscious chocolate and caramel flavours together. Chocolate and Caramel Eclair @ Sweet Spot Bakery I wished we had bought more Madeleines. Those little seashell shaped sponge cakes were little pieces of heaven. Both pistachio and lemon flavours were brilliant.
Recently, we have discovered a hidden gem, the Sweet Spot bakery. It has been voted the Best Bakery in 2013 by Richmond Review Readers.
the sweet spot is a popular bakery in steveston, crawling with tourists and was the bakery that provided me with my little slice of birthday cake - i dont like eating whole cakes, i like variety in small slices :D. anyways, the cakes they sell are always changing but they have lots of pastries and other desserts. of the couple things we tried (sorry no pictures) the cake was THE BEST. cake: layers of chocolate cake with chocolate hazelnut mousse, raspberry gelee and white chocolate mousse (~$6): do not remember the price but whatever it was...so worth it. the layers were contrasting enough that it blended together so beautifully. something crisp on the bottom and delicious, not too sweet cake sat between layers of mousse and raspberry gelee. the white chocolate on top was the perfect touch - a light sweetness to offset the bitterness. i would get this again and again in a heartbeat 5/5 overall: MUST CHECK OUT THEIR CAKES.
Giant pain au chocolat, delicate madeleines, quiches, fruit tarts, homemade ice creams, homemade soups, korean style braised chicken... and the list just goes on! What don't they serve? There's so many yummy looking desserts we end up standing there in silence (looking stupid of course) for a few minutes before deciding on...
Every Day Is A Food Day

Top Left hand corner was a dark chocolate cake , that kind of had mousse in it I believe? Whatever it was, it was delicious! The bottom left hand corner was a hazelnut cake . The bottom was crunchy as it had some type of wafer at the bottom, and a few nuts (I believe they were pecans) along the bottom. Also very good, but I would choose the dark chocolate cake over the hazelnut one! On the right, we have a homemade ice cream. It's called Malted Kulfi , according to the label, and I really had no idea what it was. So I did some googling, and found that Kulfi is an Indian dessert, that is quite like western ice cream, except that it is not
The Sweet Spot Bakery is a cute little bakery that serves up some fine looking (and fine tasting) bakery items. I decided to get a variety of items including the Pistachio Madeleines, Peanut Butter Cookies with cholately filling, and Pain au Chocolat.
ou see, we've always refrain from western-style bakeries because the desserts tend to be too sweet for us...but not this place. I tried the coconut pastry (sorry don't know the exact name of it)...and again...it wasn't over-sweetened...it was so tasty!!!
This is really a sweet spot for the delicate sweet taste. Fine pastry is the way I would describe their pastries. It's a cozy shop so it's for to go only. Cheese smoked salmon croissant is one of the few tasty savory bakes. The peach danish and pecan bread are really good. Friendly staff and elegant presentation
A nice bakery with both sweet and savory quality products. Tried their sun dried tomato, spinach, and feta quiche. It tasted very rich and good, but also a bit on the oily side. I guess its a once in a while treat.
A lovely bakery for croissants. Love their savory croissant sandwich for weekend brunch. Their seasonal scone is fantastic, especially with clotted cream that you can get from the British specialty shop across the street.
Delicious savoury and sweet treats! Only thing that would make my experience better would be a couple tables and chairs outside and the option for an iced coffee. Other than that I highly recommend :)
The smoked salmon croissant was very good. The fruit and lemon tart were so beautiful. Thank you.
I’m in Steveston Village for a week and accidentally bumped into this patisserie while exploring the area, I made a goal to try everyday something for the next 7 days ; so far I had the Madelaine, quiche, chocolate chip cookie and croissants, everything fabulous, it taste as delicious as it looks!! Note that they do not take credit cards ; cash or debit only.
