“The” Sweet Spot — Restaurant in Gray

I wanted to love this place. I had never been in but saw great reviews. I ordered a whole cheesecake for a birthday. When I ordered it the woman on the phone told me she would call me back to let me know the price. I had a missed call from their number but no message and thought nothing of it because I was clear I didn’t really care what the price was. The interior was really nicely decorated, which was surprising given the exterior. Arrived to pick it up at the scheduled time. I told them I was there to pick up a cheesecake I ordered. The older woman at the register didn’t ask my name or smile. She just said in a grumpy voice “You never called me back. I told you to call me back.” I told them I had no message from them and stood there a little dumbfounded. She shouted at the younger woman and man “you didn’t keep that cheesecake for that lady that never called back right?” Nope. They sold it. No apology. I said “this was for a birthday” and they only looked at me angry. No offer to try and make it right, no redirection to cookies or other products. I left in tears and will definitely not be back. So sad that a business would treat a new customer this way. The owner has had a really nasty response to my review elsewhere. As far as I knew I had put in an order. I was never told I had to pay ahead or I definitely would have called back. I had no message so this really is a sad case of bad communication. However the owner responding with such anger and hostility is never okay. Never once did I yell. I was calm and mostly appalled by the employees anger right from the minute she figured out who I was. She was mad before I even knew what...

Wow! I am kicking myself for not stopping in sooner. We went this past Thursday in the afternoon and was instantly greeted by a very sweet older gentleman. We work in the area, and anyone who, lives or works in gray, knows good places are hard to find.

Walking in, my nose was hit with the most amazing smells. I smelled sugar, butter, chocolate and fruit. Looking over at the counter I could see the culprit. Beautiful mini mountains off fudge. We walked around for a bit and saw the pastries that were left over from being fresh baked that morning, cookies, cake pops galore, gorgeous cheesecake slices in the cooler and a great board of breakfast sandwiches and paninis. As an added bonus the coffee stand had a great array of flavored syrups as well as tea selections.

We came in for a Bismarck, but to our sadness, they were all gone. Instead we grabbed a piece of Oreo cheesecake (a hefty piece), a blueberry, Greek yogurt pastry (with a light icing drizzle) and two pieces of fudge.

As soon as I got into our vehicle, I broke into the blueberry danish. OH MY TASTEBUDS! It was light, buttery and the blueberry and yogurt filling was sweet but not overly sweet. My fiancé just laughed at me as I demolished it. Even making a joke about how "bad" it must of been. We saved the Oreo cheesecake and fudge for later. Both were equally good. The fudge wasn't overly sweet (definitely try the praline one!). The cheesecake was flavorful, dense but also light at the same time. I can't wait to go back!

They better have a filled donut or Bismarck the next time...

This is our entire family's breakfast spot in the summer. We used to tour a short list of places in the Gray and Raymond area for breakfast but that all stopped a few years back when we found The Sweet Spot.

The biscuit breakfast sandwiches are a favorite for a lot of us. At least 5 family members referenced them as "the best breakfast sandwiches ever." I personally love all the amazing baked goods and scones. I'm not even a scone person but theirs are amazing. We haven't tried the lunch but since everything is made fresh to order right there I can only imagine it's just as good as their breakfast items.

Not only is the food incredible but the folks that run this shop are such wonderful people. They've created a warm and welcoming environment that I look forward to...
