The Sweet Spot Bodega is a fantastic addition to downtown Santa Rosa, and I was really excited when it opened. The location is ideal, and they offer a unique selection of products—from snacks and essentials to alcohol, energy drinks, and food. The store is brand new, well-organized, and has a bright future ahead.
That said, after visiting multiple times, I have to say the pricing is definitely on the expensive side. Energy drinks, for example, are $4 each, which is the highest I've seen anywhere in Santa Rosa.

Read moreIt is well know that I like to dance in public I’m having a very nice time in Santa Rosa, getting to know the police, local gang members and just around cool people like the owner of the sweet spot.

I am a mimic meaning I can copy anyone’s movements also dance well with signs and I don’t charge anything. I just like good vibes. I am Rastafarian in addition supporting businesses like this is what we believe in is Babylon is real and it’s terrible we say.”until that day.” Much love...
