Sweet Spot Bakeries

I bought 2 cupcakes (vanilla and a chocolate one with pretzels on top) and they were awful. The frosting tasted like water and powdered sugar and the cake was dry and crumbly. The pretzels were completely stale. Bottom line inedible :(
I Also go a tea cake and that must have been a week old because the cake literally crumbled because it was so dry.
We tried the gluten free cupcakes a couple months ago and were not impressed so I wanted to give the regular cupcakes a chance. Fail.

The cupcakes are pretty expensive (around $ 4.50 each) but I don’t mind paying the price if it’s good. Unfortunately, I bought 6 cupcakes and 5 of them were dry, 1 was just alright. I wanted to like this place based off the good reviews, maybe we caught them on a bad day? I might try this place one more time.

Karen is amazing. She has helped me for every last minute order I have requested. If I show her pics she will throw out suggestions to make the cake a more reasonable price while suggesting tasty alternatives.
She found out my brother was in Afghanistan and she sold me a dozen mini cakes in mason jars for cost only to support him and his fellow troops. They all loved the cakes and told me that their days were made upon devouring them.
There is a special place God saves for those that are selfless in even their daily duties and he certainly has one for Karen.

I’m a huge cupcake fan but unfortunately I’ve been here 3 times and each time the cupcakes taste really stale :(it’s such a disappointment.

Not from the area, my husband and I happened upon this place when we went to Starbucks… It was SO cute from the outside I HAD to stop in. I’m so glad I did! Everything looked amazing and the place was spotless. I had a banana nut muffin: a little dry but still delicious with a flavor that wasn’t too sweet. I really liked the crunchy crumble topping! My husband had the mad hatter cupcake: loved it! Perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter and the pretzels gave a good crunch. The cupcake was very moist. Owner was there working the front and she was very kind. I’ll definitely make this a regular stop whenever we go wine tasting or gambling in Temecula!

Absolutely amazing bakery I always go here for any birthdays or simply when i have a sweet tooth. The owner is so sweet. Cupcakes are simply amazing so fluffy and fresh. Frosting is never overwhelming and you absolutely try the smores cupcake.

I received a sample of the cupcakes here at work a few months ago and thought it tasted good. Im not on this side of town often, so today I wanted to take advantage of being nearby and stop in.
Once inside I expected a warm greeting for some reason. I think because I follow them on Facebook and the post always seem chipper. I noticed there was just one employee at the register helping someone, so maybe she just didn’t notice us.
My husband got a cinnamon roll cupcake and a glazed donut. I got the strawberries and cream donut which was in the fridge showcase. While standing at the register to check out I was still waiting for that warm greeting from the employee working, but it turned into an awkward stare contest. I ended up breaking the silence with a chipper hello. We were the only ones in there, so I dont know if she was just shy or new.
Upon trying my cupcake I discovered a few things. It was definitely old. Not a day old either. Probably a few days. The cake part was hard and the strawberries were soggy/​wet soft. However the frosting was good. It was still soft and didnt get that old crust edge that an open cupcake can get in the fridge. The cream cheese center was delicous too. My husband couldnt even finish his cupcake which I agree tasted old as well, but it really wasn’t that bad. Of course the donut was from the morning (I have no idea why my husband got it).
Im willing to go again earlier during the day though. I’d like to try the macaroons.

Glazed donut was awesome. Fresh, fluffy and warm. Definitely the best in Temecula. Nothing else really did it for me. I got a vanilla cupcake and a banana nut muffin I think it was and they were both OK.

Saw this place when I was getting sushi, had to try it. Looks totally cute and is all pink. The woman working was very sweet and helpful. They have a good selection of cupcakes. They were out of Nutella cupcakes, but had a vanilla cupcake with Nutella cream cheese frosting. The cupcake came out of the rotating case and was a little cold. The cupcake was very dense, I like my cupcakes more moist and fluffy. The frosting was very dense as well, I didn’t taste much Nutella in it, the cream cheese flavor was overpowering. Just not a tasty cupcake in my opinion.
Also, the little 2 cupcake plastic container was very unstable and does not close on its own, it needs tape to hold it together.

I really wanted to love these but I just don’t. They are from a cake mix and when I purchased mine on a sunday around noon, it was dried out. The frosting was also nothing to write home about. If you want a really great cupcake, travel to Sun City to Sweet Tees Heavenly cupcakes on Bradley. She makes homemade cupcakes and they are fresh when you buy them and last without drying out for at least a couple of days, that is if they last that long. Sorry but cake mix cupcakes for $ 4.00 is not what I am wanting when I want a cupcake. If I want cake mix cupcakes, I will make them myself.

Really really yummy cupcakes! All the girls that work for me request these for their birthday :-) We all agree that every flavor is bomb but especially French Toast and Salted Caramel.
I have had super great customer service everytime I have been in and it’s nice they open at 7am.
I love the deal on the kids size cupcakes offered on Wednesdays and the day old cupcakes are still super delicious for ½ price.
I saw cakes getting made today that looked so beautiful and I’m definitely going to order one for an upcoming baby shower!
Every time I go it’s a great experience and a delicious treat! Nice job Sweet Spot!

This is a cute little place that o accidently stumbled upon while headed towards Starbucks. I wanted something sweet, so I decided to pop in and see what they gotz. I was wonderfully delighted at what I saw when I walked in. Some very fancy looking cupcakes and goodies!!! And the flavors all looked delicious, I seriously could not make up my mind about what I wanted to try. So I grabbed a cookie dough cupcake (really good BTW) and 4 donut holes. This was at 3pm in the evening, and everything still tasted fresh! Nothing was stale. Even the donut holes were good. And 4 for a buck?! Yesssss. This will be my morning stop before work. Donies and coffee, yup I am set! Will definitely be coming back to this adorable little bakery right down the street. What a hidden gem.

I have purchased cupcakes at Sweet Spot about 4 or 5 times now for customers and my employees and have had rave reviews from all that I gave them too. I have also tried them and thought they were amazing. Interesting flavors and moist and flavorful. The gal behind the counter has always been helpful and pleasant and I have not had issues finding cupcake stock any time I have been in.
But the icing on the cake… pun intended was the GF and Vegan cake I ordered for my daughter’s 18^th birthday a few weeks ago. I ordered a lemon cake with lemon curd filling and cream cheese flavored icing. We had this cake for my wedding because my husband has allergies to and have tried to replicate the joy that cake brought all of us since 2008 but never have been able to until Karen made this cake. It was superb and brought us back to that wonderful day.
Thank you Karen for such a treat!!!

My favorite cupcake spot ever :). Every flavor my boyfriend & I tried (and we got a full box), I loved. Nothing bad to say about any of them. Surprisingly, the bacon & french toast flavor was our favorite. Didn’t see that coming.
It’s probably a good thing I live on the other side of town. Otherwise, I’d definitely be tipping the scale far more than is warranted for pregnancy ;).

We bought 3 different cupcakes from here. A Nutella, birthday cake and a breast cancer awareness cupcake. Everyone of them was super dry and the frosting was grainy and funky tasting. We actually ended up throwing away half of each cupcake and for the price we paid I expected them to be amazing!
We will not be going back simply because of how bad the cupcakes were however they did have great customer service!

Ordered 30 Ninja Turtle cupcakes for my son’s Birthday. They gave me one free cupcake!
The cupcakes came out pretty good. My son was so excited to take them to his school. I also got regular cupcakes to try out for myself. Those tasted great. Friendly customer service.

GREAT lineup of cupcakes that aren’t TOO common. But I have to say — Truly, Madly, Sweetly takes the Cake — no pun intended. Really when it comes down to it, the frosting is what did it.
The frosting makes all the difference. Their frosting was good but the consistency was weird. Not too sweet (which is normally my deciding factor) but the consistency felt like it was «Oily and Waxy». The type of frosting to leave a thin layer of some Oily consistency on the roof of your mouth… and everywhere else for that matter. Great in a pinch I guess.
Approximately $ 4/​cupcake. Is that steep? For what I got, I think it is. Great set of flavors, but pricey for a not perfect cupcake. I’ll pay these prices all day if they’re Truly, Madly Sweetly cupcakes, but not this place. Sorry.

Get the birthday cake cupcake. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture and post before devouring. So. Freaking. Good.
Nice service and their check out system is super techy. I had a hard time following instructions on how to pay because it was so different. Oops.
Quick and efficient service. No complains here. And it’s near Starbucks. Can’t complain here.

I am kinda sad that such a delicious cupcake shop has opened so close to my in laws house. I find every excuse to come to sweet spot. Crumbs Bakeshop has my heart but now that they have gone bankrupt after poor management I have ventured out.
Sweet spot is on Temecula pkwy/​South 79 all the way down by Starbucks across the street from Walmart. They have good variety and sell cupcakes, cookies, coffee and pastries. They don’t open until 7am but they are in there baking up everything fresh every morning.
They also sell candy but it is shipped in– big old school lollipops and whatnot.
I love the Nutella cupcake but the candy bar one and French toast ones are great too.
You will be happy. The girls at the counter are as sweet as the cupcakes :)

I agree with other reviewers. I went in Saturday before Mother’s Day and I posted a picture if the empty case — very little for sale. We would’ve bought cookies for me & my kids while we were placing an order for cupcakes — but there was nothing for sale.
Placed an order for 8 cupcakes to pick up the next day (for Mother’s Day). I got there and my cupcakes were not ready — I had to wait (only about 15 minutes — but still …
Cupcakes were ok — not great. Next time I will drive over to Truly, Madly, Sweetly — much better cupcakes. & there’s always a lot to choose from.
I really hope the owner (s) listen to all the feedback — it would be nice if they could be successful. There is so much foot traffic over there in the morning — if they had their act together & had some product for sale they might be able to survive.
